Investigation of Preschool Children’s Perceptions to Protect the Environment Through Drawings

This study aimed at investigating the perceptions of children attending preschool education about protecting the environment through drawings. This study was carried out with a qualitative research method. The study group of this study consisted of 80 children among 48-60-month-old children attending preschool education in Nicosia, Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC). In this study, the children were requested to explain their thoughts through drawings by asking the following question: “What can be done to protect the environment?” Then, the children were asked to describe their drawings orally. The descriptions of children were recorded in writing and analyzed. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the most common perception about protecting the environment was “not littering”. In addition to this, it was determined that the children had different perceptions as “not wasting water”, “not polluting nature”, “not starting a fire”, “not polluting the sea”, and “not cutting the trees”. It was concluded that the children had a perception of protecting the environment only from these aspects with the drawings that included reduce and respect dimensions of the 7R model. It was also concluded that they did not have a perception in the dimensions of reuse, rethink, reflect, recycle, and redistribute.

Images of South Korea and Russia in the Mutual Representations of the Student Youth of Both Countries

The perspectives of modern South Korean youth on Russia and perspectives of Russian youth on South Korea respectively are reconstructed and interpreted in this article. The research was conducted on the basis of analysis of 100 in-depth interviews with Russian and South Korean student youth (50 students in each group), specializing in Russian-Korean relations, intercultural communications and language of the country studied. Natural and geographic factors, historical and cultural associations, the image of the countrys citizens are found to be the main South Korean students perspectives on Russia. Economic system, the image of the countrys citizens, historical and cultural features of the country represent the main Russian students perspectives on South Korea. In general, mutual images of each country contain many stereotypes which are mediocre for common perception. Such stereotypical thinking and the lack of knowledge about modern socio-economic realities among future specialists in Russian-Korean relations may be a serious obstacle that places under risk effectiveness of further cooperation between the two sides.

Tort Liability, Combatant Activities, and the Question of Over-Deterrence

Immunity from tort liability for losses that are inflicted during warfare is often justified by a supposedly intuitive concern: without immunity, states and combatants will be over-deterred from engaging in combat. In this article, I test this common perception using three frameworks. First, I theoretically analyze the impact of tort liability on relevant state actors’ incentives to engage in warfare. This analysis suggests that tort law is likely to under-deter state actors in relation to their decisions on whether and how to conduct hostilities. Second, I test this conclusion through an original mixed-methods exploratory research, using Israel as a test case. My findings reveal that while tort liability under-deters state actors from engaging in warfare, it can prompt them to implement regulatory measures to minimize the state’s liability. Third, I offer a legal history analysis, exploring why Israel established an immunity from tort liability for losses it inflicts during combat in 1951, and why and how this immunity has expanded since. I show that as the Israel-Palestine conflict prolonged and intensified, state actors began viewing Palestinians’ tort claims as a civilian means of warfare and immunity from liability as the weapon needed for defending Israel’s interests.

Left behind and united by populism? The multiple roots of populism in feelings of lacking societal recognition

A prominent but underspecified explanation for the rise of populism points to individuals’ feelings of being “left behind” by the development of society. At its core lies the claim that support for populism is driven by the feeling of being denied the societal recognition one deserves. Our contribution builds on the insight that individuals can feel to lack recognition in different ways and for different reasons. We argue that—due to this multifaceted character—the common perception of being neglected societal recognition unites otherwise heterogeneous segments of the population in their support for populism. Relying on data from the GLES Pre-Election Cross-Section 2021, we will investigate the multiple roots of populist attitudes in feelings of lacking societal recognition in two steps. First, we will test the hypothesis that distinct feelings of lacking recognition dominate in different social segments. Second, we will test the hypothesis that each of these distinct feelings of lacking recognition are associated with populist attitudes.

Investigation into integration of digital manufacturing with ceramics

<p>Within the territory of crafts, it has long been thought that individuals’ proficiency and adeptness, which take long to attain or are presumably innate abilities, determine the quality, delicacy and value of the products, and the common perception has often acted as a barrier to accessibility and penetration. It is more apparent in the pottery and ceramics where special equipment and facilities, such as wheels and kilns, in addition to skilfulness and dexterity are considered essential for creation. Advances in digital technology represented by 3D printing, however, are changing the way objects are designed, produced and distributed, instigating attempts to view traditional crafting processes and practices from a different perspective. Among various branches of crafts, this research specifically explores introduction of digital technology to pottery and challenges the limitations that the conventional methods have, by eliminating the hardware restrictions and lowering the barriers. The outcome offers not only transcendent possibilities of creation to craftspeople and artists but also unprecedented accessibility and apprehensible process to the public. Technically, Liquid Deposition Modelling (LDM) building upon material optimisation and tool redesign was employed in conjunction with digital design process. In addition, functional additives were trialled to incorporate multilevel translucency and electrical conductivity into the new types of ceramic objects.</p>

Study of Marginalization of Women in Rama Mehta's Inside the Haveli

In the social structure of this world, there are various forms of people like class, community, caste, religion or gender, suffering from the dominated sensibility of social, political, economical or ethical values but their exploitation has been general in the tendency of common perception. The close observation of these people is categorized under the head of marginalization. Marginalized people are often defined socially, politically, culturally and legally deprived of their ‘rights’ as human beings in every sphere of life and cultural society. The various groups of people, living or surviving on the verge, can be assessed with their caste, class, religion or gender differentiations. In this regard, women’s position in the society and family has been one of the most considerable issues. The condition of women whether as masters or servants has equally been dominated and deprived of rights in the men dominated society. The present paper explores the marginalization, suppression, deprivation, gender inequality and feminine sensibility of women within the patriarchal system of the society in the novel Inside the Haveli.

Editor’s Essay: The Multi-Disciplinary and Diverse Field of Crisis and Risk Communication Research

The field of crisis and risk communication research has always been multidisciplinary bringing together researchers from many fields like business, public relations, political science, sociology, psychology, journalism, tourism, and public health. However, there is often a common perception outside the fields of crisis communication that is a corporate discipline focused mostly on helping organizations manage their reputations. As the pieces in this issue demonstrate, our field serves the public interest in many ways and is a growing global field of study.
