Library Transformation

The term literacy continues to evolve from time to time according to the conditions of a society. At first, UNESCO in 1997 concluded that literacy is the ability to identify, understand, interpret, communicate, and count using printed or other materials, but the meaning of literacy is much more than that, which in the end a literate community can produce something that is beneficial to individuals or society. Therefore, the prosperity of a society can be seen from the number of literate people. National Library of Indonesia has recorded it in the concept of literacy for prosperity in the Social Inclusion-Based Library Transformation program. One of the programs carried out is for the prosperity of the literacy-based economic community that also aims to support SDGs. Until now, the National Library of Indonesia has succeeded in bringing about a positive impact on the community's economy with the concept of as well as support for SDGs. In the future, there are still many things that must be researched by the National Library of the Republic of Indonesia regarding literacy for inclusive prosperity.

Cultural Sector

Culture is an important element of a destination tourist product, and tourism is an apparatus for meeting the various cultural needs of tourists. The relationship between culture and tourism contributes to the support of the cultural sector, innovation, creativity, the image of the destination and the social connection between tourists and the local population. Nowadays, it is impossible to imagine the functioning of tourism without the Internet. Presenting the cultural offer of the destination via the Internet is a great challenge and requires exceptional commitment. The subject of research of this paper is the influence of Internet content on the decision of the tourists about the destination of cultural tourism they will choose. The aim of the research is to influence the internet content on tourists related to the cultural tourism of the destination and the possibility of attracting tourists to visit the destination based on the reviewed Internet content. The research involved 165 respondents who visited one of the cultural tourism destinations from the territory of the Republic of Serbia. The results of the research show that a higher level of quality of Internet content has a positive effect on tourists choosing a certain cultural tourism destination for travel and that Internet content in terms of information efficiency, interactivity and practicality has a significant positive impact on tourists' intentions to visit cultural tourism destination.

The study aims to show the deficits in the legislation regarding the conditions for establishing municipalities as administrative-territorial units. An experimental methodology for assessing current regulatory conditions for establishing a new municipality in Bulgaria has been proposed, and the results from applying it have been presented. Conclusions were made per group of municipalities. A comparison was drawn between the constitutionally established role of municipalities as the main Administrative Territorial Units, in which local self-government is exercised, and the conditions for establishing a municipality, defined by the Law on the Administrative-Territorial Structure of the Republic of Bulgaria. Based on the results of the study, we have proposed to improve the understanding of the need for real forms in the social and economic sphere, instead of populist promises for a new administrative-territorial division of the country and the future positive effects determined by it.

Creativity And Innovation

Innovation spaces and hubs are increasing in numbers internationally. Entrepreneurs and start-up founders who use these spaces and hubs are often unaware of being inside an echo chamber, i.e. a filter bubble they share with only like-minded people who have similar ideas and approaches to innovation. Digital technologies that use algorithms can aggravate these echo chambers by filtering towards improved personalised experience and preferences. Yet, social inclusion fosters diverse ideas and creativity, hence, has a positive impact on innovation. We studied the social navigation patterns of entrepreneurs and start-up founders, and their awareness and opinion about homogeneity in innovation spaces. This data informed the design of a tool to escape their echo chambers. The tool gives its users the opportunity to discover networks and innovation spaces that are at the creative fringe, that is, marginalised from mainstream spaces and hubs for creativity and innovation. Our findings show that users of innovation spaces often find themselves surrounded by like-minded people. Further, our study participants welcomed the ability to identify fringe spaces in order to discover and access more diverse people and ideas. Our approach seeks to unlock the diversity advantage of the creative fringe for the purpose of creativity and innovation.

Hippotherapy is used in physiotherapy as a treatment that takes advantage of the unique characteristics of the horses' walk impulses and triggers movement responses in patients sitting on the horse's back. The research evidence for application of hippotherapy at people with neurological deficits and disabilities is sparse. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic and inflammatory disease that affects the neurons of the Central Nervous System. The aim of this review article was to presents the effect of hippotherapy at people with MS. PubMed, Science Direct, Pedro, Total and National Institute Hi.K.E.R., and Google Scholar were searched from 2005 to 2021. Out of 271 studies, 14 were included. The results showed that hippotherapy has a positive impact on the motor function, the walking cycle, the endurance, the balance, and the orthostatic control of people with MS. Further research must be done in a greater scale and investigate the way hippotherapy affects the quality of life, the self-confidence and the social inclusion of people with MS. In summary, the application of hippotherapy in people with MS contributes positively to the progression of the disease and enhances the functionality of individuals.

- Young generations identify less than in the past with traditional participation structures. However, this does not mean that they are not interested in politics. In this essay, the Author analyses some questions emerged in Sotto V(u)oto. Giovani e assenti la generazione invisibile (Milandri, 2008). The qualitative research on the age of uncertainty dealt with in this book was carried out in the Republic of San Marino in 2008. The essay is imbued with the effect of population ageing, absence of young people in the social and political life and loss of social solidarity but the focus is on the young people's needs and youth policies intersecting two perspectives: that of a group of adults, and that of a group of young people. The result is an unusual and lively representation of young people through an interesting exchange of views. The outlined situation shows the human face of a place where needs want to be once again at the centre of policies. The end is a ‘homage' to the future that wants to be listened to with Mr Giorgio Chiaruzzi, Chairman of the Youth Forum.

Studies on ideology in the social sciences have been incremental in recent decades. Childhood ideology remains a pivotal issue in the humanities from pedagogy to philosophy. Since children are easily accessible ideological subjects, the exercise of ideology can be more clearly noticed in children. This study aims to focus on childhood ideology adopted by the authorities in the early Turkish Republican Era. The emergence and rise of nationalism from 1923 directed by the authorities to focus on what kind of generation they would raise for the future of the Turkish Republic. The study involved four regularly published newspapers -Cumhuriyet, Akşam, Vakit/Kurun, Hakimiyet-i Milliye/Ulus- dating back to 1930s. The main goals of the modernization project of the Republic were raising honest, industrious, patriotic and healthy children, which were the main individuals that had to be reared for the new Republic. Thus, a strong relationship between Turkish nationalism and the new types of children was established.

Abstract. Background: Suicide can have a lasting impact on the social life as well as the physical and mental health of the bereaved. Targeted research is needed to better understand the nature of suicide bereavement and the effectiveness of support. Aims: To take stock of ongoing studies, and to inquire about future research priorities regarding suicide bereavement and postvention. Method: In March 2015, an online survey was widely disseminated in the suicidology community. Results: The questionnaire was accessed 77 times, and 22 records were included in the analysis. The respondents provided valuable information regarding current research projects and recommendations for the future. Limitations: Bearing in mind the modest number of replies, all from respondents in Westernized countries, it is not known how representative the findings are. Conclusion: The survey generated three strategies for future postvention research: increase intercultural collaboration, increase theory-driven research, and build bonds between research and practice. Future surveys should include experiences with obtaining research grants and ethical approval for postvention studies.
