Awareness Raising

Resumen: El aumento de los desastres naturales durante la última década ha provocado un incremento significativo de víctimas y daños materiales en el mundo. En la actualidad, aproximadamente el 70% de estos desastres están relacionados con el clima, el doble que hace 20 años, según explica la Organización de las Naciones Unidas -ONU-. En el caso de España, los científicos coinciden en apuntar como las causas más recurrentes a las inundaciones y los desbordamientos de cauces fluviales. España goza del auspicio institucional ante estos desastres, a diferencia de otros países con mayor frecuencia de catástrofes. Sin embargo, esta circunstancia converge con un inconveniente de carácter social. La población, y en especial los jóvenes, carecen de conciencia social sobre estos fenómenos y desconocen cómo actuar en caso de una emergencia. Esta constituye precisamente la hipótesis principal de nuestra investigación. En este primer acercamiento al tema, el objetivo de este estudio exploratorio es conocer el grado de información y concienciación que la población joven española tiene sobre las catástrofes naturales. Sus resultados servirán para impulsar el diseño de un plan de información y educación juvenil para prevenir situaciones de riesgo ante este tipo de catástrofes.Palabras clave: desastres naturales; conciencia social; comunicación; información; jóvenes; inundaciones.Abstract: In the world, natural disasters have increased greatly during the last decade, which has resulted in a significant increase in victims and material damage. Currently, approximately 70% of these disasters are related to climate, twice as many as 20 years ago, according to the UN. In the case of Spain, scientists agree that the most frequent are floods and overflows. Although the country enjoys an auspicious scenario in comparison with other countries with more catastrophes, this also generates an inconvenience: the population, and especially the young people, do not have a social conscience about natural disasters and would not know how to act in case of an emergency, premise that constitutes the main hypothesis of this investigation. Therefore, the primary objective of knowing the level of information and awareness that the young Spanish population has about natural disasters and to be able to develop the final objective of combating this problem by generating more education and information about it.Keywords: natural disasters; social conscience; communication; information; young people; floods.

Abstract As in almost every country in the world, street foods are frequently used in Turkey. To determine the preferences for these foods, a questionnaire was given to 847 individuals constituted by randomly selected high school and university students. Of the participants, 43.4% were male and 56.6% were female; the majority of them were between 19 and 22 years of age. It was found that 40.1% of the young people ate street food 2-3 times per week, whereas 23.3% were found to eat it every day. Turkish bagels, döner, boiled corn in a cup and toast are most preferred street foods. A statistically significant negative correlations were found between consumption preference scores and education, gender, and age. Although consumers know that street foods can cause contamination with microorganisms, that sellers do not pay attention to hygiene, and that these foods are raw or not cooked well, they prefer because of their cheapness, deliciousness, variety and fast service. Street foods are widely consumed in Turkish young students and because of preventing food poisoning, they should be educated about food hygiene and safety. Also, educating vendors in personal hygiene and good manufacture practice can minimize contamination risk.

Crisis Of Meaning

In the aftermath of the May 2003 attacks, Moroccans were paralyzed by the magnitude of the event. Political scientists, sociologists, journalists took turns on television sets to try to comprehend the incomprehensible, to label the unspeakable. The trauma was such that society took refuge in denial, arguing the age-old tolerance of Moroccans and their legendary pacifism. Years later, young novelists seize the event; put it in fiction, initiating a work of memory likely to reconcile the community with its painful past. In order to get out of denial, suggest these novelists, one must have the courage to face reality in the front. The terrorist is here. Instead of pretending to ignore him, it would be more judicious, to approach him, to give him the floor, to access the intimacy of his conscience. Hence, amazingly we will discover the limits of our ability to interpret. In the terrorist act, there is nothing to understand. Above all, we must not go back to the usual thought patterns and easy causalities conveyed by the media. This crisis of meaning is expressed aesthetically by challenging the reading grids of the realistic novel. We must not believe that the genesis of horror can be explained by a kind of social determinism. Certainly, information about real allow us to understand, in part, the fact of acting out, of falling into barbarism. But, let's recognize that our understanding emains incomplete. The deep motivations of the terrorist will always escape us. Shifted in his habits, the reader is invited to approach the problem differently and manages to grasp the real dangers of the situation. Basically, the economic and social crisis of Moroccan society is only the tip of the iceberg. Above all, our society suffers from a crisis of the imagination since young people from outlying districts are deprived of the possibility of building their relationship with the world other than through mechanical tasks, which are often degrading. Fragilized by the symbolic misery, they become easy victims of jihadist rhetoric. Other facets of the terrorist emerge then and with them narrative possibilities never updated, including that of a love story endearing in its depth and simplicity. Morality: the story of terrorism could have been different if we had known how to negotiate the education of the imagination of a lost youth; this education is also inexpensive if we know how to go about it. In short, for Moroccan novelists, this reinvigoration of the meaning to which the reader is cornered is the, sine qua non, of any salutary memory work.

Universities around the world are filled with young people eager to be challenged, impatient to experience the world directly, seeking a way to prove to themselves, and to others, their worth and value. Equally, the world is filled with the needy, those needing help and caring and skills. Is there a way to bring the human resource of university students and human need together? Is there a way to bring higher education into the broader and moral dimensions of the global world?

Sustainable education requires the proper usage of technological devices. Among these is the smartphone, which is used by millions of young people around the world in today’s society. The objective of this study was to understand the smartphone usage profile of Spanish and Italian university students. It also aimed to identify possible problematic uses, and the differences in smartphone use (or abuse) between the participating subjects. The study was descriptive and comparative, with the intentional sampling of N = 1412 subjects studying at the education faculties of the University of Alicante (UA) and the Suor Orsola Benincasa University (UNISOB). A previously-validated questionnaire with 27 items was employed during the 2019–20 academic year. The data was analysed using the SPSS 25 programme. Descriptive and inferential analyses were carried out. The results obtained after the analysis of the data indicated that, of the four possible user types—occasional, habitual, at risk, and problematic—more than half of the sample identified themselves as habitual users. It can be concluded that there are significant differences between the universities: the UA students exhibited more problematic use than the UNISOB students. It is therefore necessary to prepare training programmes that are designed to avert problematic behaviours related to smartphone use.

A novel titled BumiCinta written by Habiburrahman El-Shirazy takes place in the Russian setting, in which Russia is a country that adopts freedom. Russia with various religions embraced by its people has called for the importance of human freedom. Free sex in Russia is commonplace among its young people. Russia is a country that is free with no rules, no wonder if there have been many not embracing certain religion. In fact, according to data Russia is a country accessing the largest porn sites in the world. Habiburrahman in his Bumi Cinta reveals some religious aspects. He incorporates the concept of religion with social conflicts in Russia. Therefore, the writer reveals two fundamental issues, namely: 1. What is the characters' religiosity in the Habiburrahman El-Shirazy'sBumiCinta? 2. What is the characters' religiosity in the BumiCinta in their relationship with God, fellow human beings, and nature ?. To achieve the objectives, the writer uses the religious literary criticism based on the Qur'an and Hadith. It emphasizes religious values in literature. The writer also uses the arguments of scholars and schools of thought to strengthen this paper. This theory is then used to seek the elements of religiousity in the Habiburrahman El-Shirazy'sBumiCinta. In this novel, the writer explains there are strong religious elements and religious effects of its characters, especially the belief in God, faith and piety

In our plural society, interfaith marriages and multicultural families have become a new normal and are either considered problematic for the religious communities or welcomed as a contribution to a secular and more peaceful world. In the course of my work with European Muslims, I could accompany such families through a few generations. In this article, I am going to outline some typical challenges and crises in such relationships and their effects on young people growing up in mixed families, adding my observations of how they can be dealt with. Ultimately, there is a chance that, through dialogue, it provides a meaningful learning environment that prepares young people for the diverse reality of the world today.
