The deficiency and vacancy of supervision during the operation of the Power, are always directly related to bull supervision and management which sometimes lead to multiple standards. Because people who manipulate power have different educational background, ideology and even faith, the abuse of power becomes liable. The existent power operation system entails not only the high operation cost and low efficiency but also the sanction shortage of supervision system and mechanism. Therefore, when we are attempting to achieve the reduction of operation costs and improve the efficiency of the supervision, we should first solve the deficiency and vacancy of supervision within the existent system, break the " versatile power operation system" concept, reform the mode of power allocation, and build a new integral supervision and management system in the power operation. In addition, we should also make use of modern electronic information surveillance platform, associate the anti-corruption control system with information, technology and accountability mechanism, in order to reduce the possibility of corruption on the level of heteronomy, and promote the scientific ,reasonable and effective anti-corruption. Corruption is a tumor of society. It reduces the credibility of the power sector and affect the political environment of society. Especially grassroots power departments and functional departments, accompanied by the absence of people's faith and the regradation of morality, present the multiple and diverse forms of corruption, this situation highlights importance of the reform toward the corruption of supervision. It is an urgent need of both the social development and the institutional reform to build a scientific and rational power supervision system and to realize the scientific anti-corruption. As the party and our country are developing, the construction of anti-corruption is now facing many new conflicts and problems that the organs and sections are arbitrarily internalizing the "insiders" and not following the rules to deal with problems and that the nonfeasance of supervising department still cannot be eluded. Nowadays we can clearly see that the anti-corruption work is continuously proceeding with achievements; On the other hand, as the corruption is effectively under control, there are many new features and problems coming out; corruption is in a new guise, and switching techniques, the hidden corrupt network is still functioning throughout the anti-corruption, the situation is still severe, and the task is also still arduous.

The article highlights the characteristics of a phenomenon that tends to directly attack the wellbeing of large amounts of the population in a manner that jeopardizes the development of the individuals, diffuses the leisure and damages the social equilibrium of a nation. This phenomenon also pairs well with other phenomena common these days such as corruption and underground economy. We are living in hard times when the shameless triumph or the abusers are admired, a society without guiding principles, and the opportunism wins, the insolents set the tone while the population tolerates it, everything becomes corruptible while the majority remains silent. This picture of today’s world is very often complemented by the indifference taking the form of lack of action, ultimately giving birth to thoughts on whether it is high time to hide, to back down, analyze our activity to take a firm grip on oneself and reevaluate those around us. When the abuse of power for personal gains manifests from post to pillar, the corruption is systemic, the harmful perception that impunity exists should be destroyed. Unless we do it by uniting our forces in fighting this critical issue, the idea that money can be earned without effort or work will be disseminated and ultimately their value cannot be other but zero.It would be very helpful to look back in history while reconsidering out attitude towards work, moral and ethical values, well promoted by religion. There is an attractive link between religion and economy, but without understanding it in broad sense, as if religion should be linked to the evolution of an economic indicator. Beyond the attribute of being an economic performer the believer possesses, this attribute can be outwardly disseminated only through work, as it is the only that adds value. Isn’t the economic growth measured precisely by the value added? Where does this new value comes from which has its roots exclusively in lively work carried out by the people – creation of the Divinity – with and on the materiality? To better understand this, I suggest we should imagine a peasant in spring going with a basket full of corn seeds to seed a plot of land that he had previously ploughed and cared so as to be ready for a new crop. If he carefully seeds the corn from his basket on the plot formerly looked after and through his effort, his work, attends for the shoots coming out from the ground to be irrigated on time and the pests to be removed, there is no doubt that the results will not be late in coming. Following the faithful effort and work put into the cultivation of the corn, the harvesting will bring out ten folds more corn seeds. Isn’t this added value? Is this peasant respect-worthy? Are his effort and work true and clean?

The paper analyzes the impact of energy consumption on the three pillars of sustainable development in 74 countries. The main methodological challenge in this research is the choice of a single integral indicator for assessing the social component of sustainable development. Disability-adjusted life year (DALY), ecological footprint, and GDP (Gross domestic product) are used to characterize the social, ecological, and economical pillars. The concept of physics, namely the concept of density (specific gravity), is used. It characterizes the ratio of the mass of a substance to its volume, i.e., reflects the saturation of a certain volume with this substance. Thus, to assess the relationship between energy consumption and the three foundations of sustainable development, it is proposed to determine the energy density of the indicators DALY, the ecological footprint, and GDP. The reaction to changes in energy consumption is described by the elasticity of energy density functions, calculated for each of the abovementioned indicators. The state of the social pillar is mostly dependent on energy consumption. As for the changes in the ecological pillar, a 1% reduction in energy consumption per capita gives only a 0.6% ecological footprint reduction, which indicates a low efficiency of reducing energy consumption policy and its danger for the social pillar. The innovative aspect of the research is to apply a cross-disciplinary approach and a calculative technique to identify the impact that each of the pillars of sustainable development imposes on energy policy design. The policy of renewable energy expansion is preferable for all sustainable development pillars.

This article presents the results and theorization of a 4-year Grounded Theory project that sought to understand the processes and dynamics involved in the professional adaptation of internationally educated social workers now practicing in Canada. In-depth interviews with 66 participants, who undertook social work education outside of Canada and have subsequently settled to practice in the country, were conducted. Results highlight that the social work educational background of the professionals not only offers key conceptual, theoretical, and analytical foundations needed to adapt knowledge and skills to practice abroad, but also provides tools to navigate and negotiate professional adaptation processes as a whole. We conclude that ultimately, social workers may adapt well to their new work contexts because of the transferability of social work skills, knowledge, and values to new practice settings, thus facilitating interventions with services users and also their own process of professional adaptation.

The 'Family' stage -the lines devoted to the surviving members of the deceased's family- is a 'constant element' (Hasan 1985) in obituaries. The present study is built up around the structural analysis of genres as developed by Bhatia (1993, 2004), Hasan (1985), Martin (1985, 1992), and Swales (1990). The purpose of this study is to bring a social explanation or understanding to bear on the textual description of the 'Family' stage from a corpus of obituaries published in more than two hundred American and British newspapers collected over a period of three years. The research process has developed two more steps. First, following Huckin's (2004) notion of content analysis, quantitative and qualitative modes have been applied, trying to identify the content which is not manifest. Secondly, the identification of 'textual silences' (Huckin 2002) is followed by an exploratory ethnographic analysis (Scollon 1998) on two case studies. This multi-staged analysis is aimed at a more comprehensive account of the obituary genre as a social process (Kress 1993). It shall be argued that the 'Family' stage encapsulates one of the most controversial topics of our time.

This chapter argues that in his 1929 novel The White Witch of Rosehall Herbert G. de Lisser relies on Haitian voodoo combined with European vampirism to present the murderous “white witch” Annie Palmer—who is based on a historical figure—as an emblem of gender transgression and abuse of power. In addition to imbuing her with extraordinary, supernatural female power, de Lisser casts Annie Palmer as a European-Jamaican Creole. She is bolstered in her evil machinations both by the social status bestowed upon her by her white heritage and her acquired knowledge of African Caribbean culture. Thus, she also becomes a larger symbol of the colonial presence in the Caribbean. In the context of the period the novel was written in, Annie Palmer’s fusion of cultural traditions results in an evil hybridity that she cleverly uses to her own murderous advantage.

Abstract From a social constructionist perspective, this study examines three gay Indian immigrants’ coming-out narratives as the locus of the discursive construction of both one’s physical and social location within the changing context. It advocates reconceptualizing “coming out” as dynamic and situated in interaction. Also, it investigates the intersection and construction of identities by analyzing coming-out narratives in sociolinguistic interviews conducted in Washington, DC. Drawing on Bamberg’s three levels of positioning (1997), the analysis highlights how narrators bring about their identities as they contrast the social constructs in India, i.e., the absence of such concept, and in the US, e.g., the acceptance of homosexuality, by reenacting dialogue before and after migration. This study adds to positioning theory and contributes to the cross-cultural dimension of research on coming-out narratives. The qualitative analysis also provides a linguistic perspective that views narrating coming out as an interactive process for constructing intersected identities.

Our upbringing and education influence not only how we present and distinguish ourselves in the social world but also how we perceive others. We apply this central sociological idea to the social media context. We conduct a large-scale online study to investigate whether observers can correctly guess the education of others from their Facebook profile pictures. Using the binomial test and cross-classified mixed-effects models, we show that observers can assess the education of depicted persons better than chance, especially when they share the same educational background and have experience with the social media. We also find that posting pictures of outdoor activities is a strong signal of having higher education, while professional photographs can obscure education signals. The findings expand our knowledge of social interaction and self-expression online and offer new insights for understanding social influence on social media.
