Research on micro governance path of high-level professional group construction

Under the background of “double high plan”, higher vocational colleges combine the industrial background, strengthen the connection between industrial chain and professional chain. Therefore, colleges and universities delegate power to secondary colleges. Secondary colleges independently improve the grass-roots governance mechanism according to the logic of professional groups, which will help to optimize the power allocation mode, and strengthen the construction of professional organizations. The functions of professional resource allocation, power distribution and operation mechanism, so as to provide management guarantee for the construction of high-level professional groups.

After the Candles Were Extinguished

This chapter covers several issues South Korea has dealt with following President Park’s removal from office: the election of Moon Jae-in as president in May 2017, pro-Park groups’ anti-government rallies, and a public divide on potentially pardoning Park in 2021. In addition, it considers citizens’ evaluations of the impeachment candlelight vigils three years after Park’s impeachment. There is now a growing sense that the momentum for change ignited by the vigils may have been lost and that real systemic change has not been achieved. This chapter looks at how some actors within society are striving to sustain momentum for social change. While political parties and civic organizations in South Korea are experimenting with different strategies to engage citizens, some people are already demanding new forms of participatory democracy. Grass-roots organizations such as WAGL and Parti Co-op have emerged to design and implement alternative ways of incorporating citizens’ direct participation in policy decision-making processes.

Universal Health (UHC) and Primary Health Care (PHC) – a complex dynamic endeavour

The Universal Health (UHC) movement in its latest iteration, has adopted key objectives of Primary Health Care (PHC). This is a notable shift in the right direction but achieving what appears to be simple targets is a highly complex endeavour across both wealthy and less wealthy countries and jurisdictions. Improving health for all targets requires political-economic, bureaucratic and alignment with bottom-up grass-roots agencies. Despite present successes, there is a need to adapt to constant challenges including pandemics, adverse climate phenomena and political-economic shifts.

Study on the Operation Mechanism of Categorized Protection System for Kunjing Children

The protection of the rights and interests of Kunjing children is related to the national economy and people's livelihood. In recent years, the categorized protection policy for children in needs is the focus of the government and academia, but the related research does not pay close attention to the longitudinal context of its internal operation. Based on this, this paper adopts the method of qualitative research to study the operation mechanism of categorized protection for children in needs through field investigation and explore the problems in the process of matching and implementation of protection content by constructing the operating framework of "monitoring-evaluation-treatment". The study found that at present, there are still some problems in the categorized protection of children in needs in the country, such as imperfect construction of categorized protection policy, insufficient protection of institutions and professional personnel, difficult policy implementation and so on. In this regard, the country should promote the further implementation of categorized protection for children in needs by promoting the combination and perfection of protection projects, improving the coordination and linkage mechanism of departments, and strengthening the construction of grass-roots child welfare team.

Role of Public Awareness Ensuring the Sustainability of Arsenic Mitigation

Arsenic poisoning is the largest mass poisoning in history. It causes numerous toxic effects to human health which ultimately leads to cancer or Alzheimer’s disease. Nearly 300 million people over 180 countries worldwide are suffering from the arsenic contaminated groundwater more than WHO directed limit. Despite of its potential fatal toxicities, there is no effective treatment for arsenicosis. Cost-effective arsenic removal technology is also a matter of considerable research. This study aimed to summarize the individual and social issues related to arsenic problem and the remedies suggested by different authors to cope with the adverse effects of arsenic. Reported studies emphasized that only mass awareness and mass education can stop the spreading of this disaster. This study will be helpful for future research on the awareness on arsenic contamination and studies on assessing behavior in different context. Policymakers may find it as helpful resource since it describes the problem from grass-roots level. Researchers’ of pharmaceuticals and medicines may be inspired to perform their research in this field.

Ngā Raranga I Makere / Stitches Dropped In Time: An Oral History Study of Māori Community Archiving in Taranaki, 2014-2017.

<p>Community archiving is a movement with its origins in the grass-roots activities of documenting, recording and exploring community heritage in a way that focuses on community participation and ownership of records. This research was about a Māori archiving community of practice from Taranaki and investigated how the training they received created outcomes for their taonga archives and families. It did this by answering three research questions designed to identify how post-custodial trends in community archiving resonated with, or differed from, the methods employed by 11 former students of Te Pūtē Routiriata o Taranaki community archive in New Plymouth. This research took a qualitative oral history approach to data gathering and used thematic analysis to examine evidence gathered from three generations of whānau archivists. It investigated whether community archiving had enhanced their collections of whānau history passed down from generation to generation and connected the close family groups that were looking after them. This study proposes a concept of whānau-led collection management as a model of practice for flax-roots communities and public heritage institutions that work with taonga Māori. It explains the link between collectively caring for archival collections and positive outcomes for whānau engagement with te reo Māori and other forms of cultural identity building. It draws on international examples to suggest ways that practices of community archiving, such as digitisation and digital archiving, can bridge the gap between community-led and institutional methods of caring for tangible and intangible cultural heritage.</p>

Od insurekcji do rewolucji

Over the past 30 years, the anarchist movement in Belarus has been constantly developing and radicalising. Both the active participation of anarchists in the 2020 protests (mass demonstrations, performances of students and workers, grass-roots courtyard initiatives, anarcho-partisans), as well as the publication of a number of analytical articles and the proposing of two political programmes (Pramen, Ihar Alinievich) allow the Belarusian revolution to be considered as not only the culmination of the radicalisation of the anarchist movement, but also as a completion of the formation of a virile and independent socio-political movement. The participation of anarchists in the revolution, in turn, made them key figures of unprecedented repressions by the Belarusian authorities (including the recognition of anarcho-partisans as terrorists). As a result, the Belarusian anarchist movement was paralysed.
