Размиват ли се границите между езиковите нагласи в града и селото?

Are the Boundaries Between Language Attitudes in Town and Village Deleted?The paper presents an analysis of data from a nationally representative survey of the language attitudes of Bulgarians regarding their opinions on the processes of language internationalization according to the respondent’s settlement type. The assumptions are that there will be opposition between language attitudes along the city-village axis. The analysis shows that language attitudes are not particularly influenced by the type of settlement: globalization, not urbanization, is the crucial process in the formation of language attitudes today. Czy zanikają granice między postawami językowymi w mieście i na wsi? W artykule przedstawiono analizę danych uzyskanych na podstawie reprezentatywnych w skali kraju badań postaw językowych Bułgarów według typu osiedlenia respondentów. Badania dotyczyły opinii respondentów na temat procesów internacjonalizacji współczesnych języków. Na wstępie założono, że na osi miasto-wieś wystąpi sprzeczność między postawami językowymi. Analiza pokazała, że typ osadnictwa nie oddziałuje w sposób szczególny na postawy językowe: dla kształtowania się owych postaw kluczowym procesem obecnie jest proces globalizacji, a nie urbanizacji.

THE INFLUENCE OF ECONOMIC CAPITAL TOWARDS THE SOCIOECONOMIC BACKGROUND OF THE RURAL COMMUNITY

A rural community is very important in planning for rural development and it cannot be disregard as the rural area is part and parcel of the nation’s development. In countries with emerging and developing economies like Malaysia, rural communities constitute the majority of populations where the majority of them are generally poorer and more disadvantaged compared to their urban counterparts. In Malaysia, rural communities have diverse and different levels of socioeconomic backgrounds that are based on the type of settlement, type of economic sector, and rural density level. Therefore, this paper aims to identify the factor of economic capital influencing the socioeconomic background of rural communities. Besides that, this paper also explains the theoretical perspective such as the regional economic growth theory which directly contributed to providing understanding on the factor of economic capital and its indicator influencing the different levels of the socioeconomic background of rural communities. The finding of this paper will provide a preliminary framework for the factor and indicator of economic capital that influenced the socio-economic background of the rural community in the context of Malaysia based on a literature review of previous related research on this topic.

Studi Penutupan Lahan Hulu dan Hilir Dareah Aliran Sungai Liliba Terhadap Kuantitas Air

Daerah Aliran Sungai (DAS) Liliba secara adminitrasi terletak di 2 (dua) daerah adminitrasi yaitu Kota Kupang dan Kabupaten Kupang dengan luas 4.534 ha, panjang sungai utama 20.176,22 m. Daya dukung DAS Liliba sebagai sumberdaya alam (tanah, air, dan vegetasi) sangat dipengaruhi kondisi penutupan lahan. Penurunan kuantitas ditandai dengan semakin berkurangnya debit air pada musim kemarau,. Studi dilakukan selama bulan 3 bulan dari bulan September sampai November 2019. Perubahan penutupan lahan dianalisa berdasarkan klasifikasi penggunaan lahan di DAS Liliba tahun 2008-2018. Kuantitas air dianalisa dengan menggunakan metode Mock pada 4 titik pengamatan. Hasil studi menunjukkan penutupan lahan tipe pemukiman meningkat dari 20.39% pada tahun 2008 menjadi 48.47% pada tahun 2018. Penurunan semak belukar sebesar 19.73% pada tahun 2008 menjadi 0% pada tahun 2018. Penurunan kawasan hutan sekunder dari 15.45% pada tahun 2008 menjadi 10.14 % pada tahun 2018. Kondisi mengakibatkan berkurangnya kuantitas air Debit maksimum terjadi pada bulan Januari, yaitu 1.36 m³/dt, sedangkan debit minimum terjadi pada bulan Oktober, yaitu 0.34 m³/dt. ABSTRACTLiliba water shed locate administratively at Kupang city and district of Kupang with about 4,534 ha of wide and about 20,176.22 m of main river length. Carrying capacity of Liliba watershed as natural resources (soil, water, and vegetation) is affected strongly by land cover conditions. Decreasing in water quantity is indicated by decrease in water discharge during dry season. Study had been conducted at Liliba Water Shed during September to November 2019. Change of land cover was analyzed based on classification land use at Liliba Water Shed during 2008-2018 Water quantity was observed by Mock method at 4 locations. Result of the study showed that land cover of settlement type increased from 20.39% in 2008 to 48.47 % in 2018. Shrubs type decreased from 19.73% in 2008 to 0% in 2018. Moreover, secondary forest areas decreased from 15.45% in 2008 to 10.14% in 2018. These conditions resulted in decreasing of water quantity. Maximum water discharge was 1.36 m3/second occurred in January and minimum water discharge occurred in October was 0.34 m3/second. Meanwhile, analyzed water quality indicated a light level of pollution in all parameters measurements.

An elusive ritual or a weave of adverse environmental conditions? From a research on the issue of a small number of sepulchral objects in the Trzciniec culture

Over the past dozen years or so, there has been a significant increase in the pace of research on the phenomenon of the Trzciniec cultural circle. This is due to a snowballing increase of the source base, which was obtained as part of modern excavations, currently being conducted in a wide spatial scope (research on routes of planned motorways). A number of synthesis publications have also appeared. Coherent periodizations of development of this cultural circle has been worked out for many regions. It should be noted, however, that these are mainly systematics created on the basis of materials originating from settlements. The number of sepulchral discoveries that have been made so far is incomparably smaller than those of settlement-type objects. The problem of the scale of occurrence of cemeteries seems to be very clear, because in some thoroughly researched areas, no single confirmed grave has yet been discovered. The areas of the San, Vistula and Wisłoka river interfluves, the central Warta region and the sandy areas of the Nida Basin can, among others, be considered as such regions. This article is an attempt to address this problem more broadly. It is also a search for possible explanations the indicated irregularity of an absence of grave sites. The work analyses three aspects of this issue: the degree of excavation reconnaisance of the Trzciniec ecumen, environmental conditions and cultural factors. For the purposes of the analyses, a current list of sepulchral sites of the Trzciniec culture in Poland has been created and all relevant information has been collected. Selected aspects have been illustrated with various types of mapping, specific examples from selected Trzciniec culture sites or groups remote territorially or remote in time, chemical analyses of soil for phosphorus content and radiocarbon facts.

Appraisals of Childbirth Experience in Hungary

The main focus of our research is to identify the factors that impact childbirth experience positively and negatively, with special attention to the case of caesarean sections. Drawing on a telephone survey conducted over four years between 2021 and 2018, we use data on 2000 Hungarian mothers and assessed a total of 4266 births. According to the regression analysis, there is a significant association between childbirth experience and settlement type, marital status, financial situation and factors measuring social support, as well as between high-risk pregnancy and informal patient payments. Significant results relating to caesarean sections indicate that the proportion of this mode of birth is higher among women who are older, completed a higher level of education and who live in settlements of a larger type. Based on regression analysis, we can conclude that the likelihood of opting for a caesarean section increases with the mother having a degree or diploma, giving birth with support from an obstetrician of her own choice, experiencing high-risk pregnancy or being older.

Living in Roma Settlements in Greece: Self-Perceived Health Status, Chronic Diseases and Associated Social Determinants of Health

We aimed to assess the self-perceived health status and the presence of chronic diseases of adult Roma living in settlements in Greece, and to explore associated social determinants of health. Data were derived from the Hprolipsis Health Survey. Multivariable regression models were applied. In total, 534 adults, 287 women, and 247 men were recruited from twelve Roma settlements in four prefectures. Although 62% of the participants perceived their health status as good/very good, about half of them had been diagnosed with at least one chronic disease. Several structural and intermediary social determinants of health were found to be significantly associated with the health outcomes; prefecture, settlement type, sex, age group, living with a partner, presence of depression symptoms, food insecurity, and alcohol consumption were associated with self-perceived health status; settlement type, sex, age group, presence of anxiety symptoms, food insecurity and number of persons living in the house with the presence of a chronic disease. This is one of the few studies assessing the self-perceived health status and presence of chronic diseases in Roma settlements in Greece and investigating the associated social determinants of health in the world. Community-based participatory action research and health literacy programs are needed to mitigate health inequalities in Roma settlements.

Tipe Hunian dan Karakteristik Budaya Sampungian di Situs Gua Lawa, Ponorogo

Settlement Type and Characteristic of ‘Sampung Culture’ at Lawa Cave Site, Ponorogo. Lawa Cave, located in Sampung (Ponorogo, East Java), is an eponym site for the Sampungian culture. Its status within the cultural framework of the Javanese prehistory remains unclear. This article aims to reveal the type and characteristic of settlement in Lawa Cave, including its position within the historical framework of cave habitation in the archipelago. The descriptive-explanative approach reveals that the distribution of artifacts in Lawa Cave shows a distinctive feature. The bifacial arrowhead reported by Callenfels is associated with bone and pebbles (milling stones) in a relatively thick unit of cultural layer. Based on the emergence of milling stones, the inhabitants of Lawa Cave may have known simple agricultural activities through processing wild plants as their food source. Based on this, Sampungian can be categorized as part of the Para-Neolithic culture, which is also found in several sites in Mainland Southeast Asia. Abstrak. Gua Lawa yang berada di Sampung (Ponorogo, Jawa Timur) merupakan situs eponim bagi budaya Sampungian yang statusnya di dalam kerangka kebudayaan prasejarah Pulau Jawa masih belum jelas. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap tipe hunian dan karakteristik budaya Sampungian di Gua Lawa serta kaitannya dengan sejarah perkembangan hunian gua di Nusantara. Melalui pendekatan deskriptif-eksplanatif terlihat bahwasannya distribusi artefak di Gua Lawa menunjukkan suatu ciri khas tersendiri. Himpunan artefak mata panah bifasial, sebagaimana pertama kali dilaporkan oleh Callenfels, faktanya berasosiasi dengan artefak tulang dan kerakal pada suatu unit lapisan budaya yang cukup tebal. Berdasarkan kemunculan artefak kerakalpenggerus, diperkirakan masyarakat penghuni Gua Lawa telah mengenal aktivitas agrikultur sederhana melalui pengolahan tumbuhan liar tertentu sebagai sumber pangan mereka. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, Sampungian dapat dikategorikan sebagai bagian dari budaya Para-Neolitik yang juga dijumpai pada sejumlah situs di Asia Tenggara Daratan.

Consumer Trust in Quality and Safety of Food Products in Western Siberia

Modern Russia faces difficulties in ensuring food quality and safety. The updated federal food security doctrine focuses on export opportunities and monitoring the ratio between domestic production and consumption. This agenda is determined by possible external threats: sanctions and trade wars, various conflicts, and economic and agricultural crises. The aim is to reveal the features of consumer behavior when interacting with food operators and to show the influence of socio-economic characteristics on individual practices. Empirical data are obtained from the authors’ mass survey and in-depth interviews. Results might signify that society came to a consensus on trust in quality and safety of food. Observed differences in outlet and product choices can be explained by income, settlement type, and age. Local producers are struggling to enter retail chains, as there are contradictions between consumer expectations and internal policies of sales operators. Experts argue that people poorly assess the real risks of economizing and favoring low-quality food.

Income Inequality, Socio-Economic Status, and Residential Segregation in Greater Cairo: 1986–2006

Greater Cairo is a primate, monocentric metropolis with significant socio-economic disparities among its population and neighborhoods. This chapter examines the relationship between income inequality, the welfare regime, centralized governance, settlement type, housing policies, occupational status, and socio-economic segregation. Using data from the 1986, 1996, and 2006 censuses, we report the dissimilarity index to demonstrate the distribution of residents in the Greater Cairo Region by occupational status, we show patterns of socio-economic segregation based on the distribution of the population by categories of occupations across census tracts and employ the location quotient to compare the concentration of the top/bottom groups in each census tract relative to the city average. The results show that growing economic inequality does not necessarily result in greater socio-economic segregation. The results also suggest that social class contributes to residential clustering. While the poorer strata of the Greater Cairo Region were pushed to the periphery and the older urban core, affluent inhabitants were more likely to settle voluntarily in segregated enclaves to isolate themselves from the general population.

BIOECOLOGICAL BASES OF INTERMEDIATE USE LOGGING IN NUT-PRODUCING AREAS OF CEDAR FORESTS

An increase in the production of scarce pine nuts provides for the creation of a reliable base of walnut harvesting in walnut-producing zones. A significant part of them (10.6 million hectares) does not correspond to the intended purpose and is used irrationally in the absence of documents regulating economic activity. The basis of the base being created can be cedar forest gardens of the near-settlement type, formed by intensive intermediate felling. They should contribute to the formation of the maximum volume of the female generative layer - the basis of the crop - by the age of the highest nut productivity. Bioecological features of the formation of the female generative layer depending on the lighting conditions and the age of the trees are described. It forms on the illuminated part of the crown, closer to the top, and its volume depends on the closeness and age of the trees. Female sexualization is characteristic of shoots of younger orders of branching and younger age. Older shoots and branching orders are characterized by male sexualization. After complete lightening, the female generative layer grows upward, and its volume increases. With moderate lightening, simultaneously with upward growth, branches in the lower part of the fruiting layer are reborn, and its volume changes slightly. The female generative layer is not formed in the middle and lower parts of the trunk after clarification. In clean closed 120-year-old cedar forests, narrow, 70-80% non-fruiting crowns with a highly raised fruiting layer are formed in trees. Its volume is 60-70% less than that of freely growing cedars. Clarification of trees at this age, with a decrease in the recommended fullness to 0.5, is ineffective. The female generative tier will no longer reach the biologically possible potential: in the middle and lower parts of the trunk, the branches of female sexualization are replaced by male and growth shoots. The upward expansion of the female generative layer will provide only a limited reproductive effect. Cutting operations 40 years earlier, i.e. at 80 years old, will increase the potential volume of the fruiting layer to 42-50%, and nut productivity by almost 1.5 times.rease the potential volume of the fruiting layer to 42-50%, and nut productivity by almost 1.5 times.
