Zwischen Räumen:Wie sich Nähe und Distanz in Städten durch die Sharing Economy verändern
No full textThe article examines whether and how the sharing economy, as a specific, non-exclusive practice of owning and using property objects, reproduces but also irritates and redevelops urban spatial and social relationships. To this end, it applies a methodological framework of analysis that, based on Georg Simmel and conceptually following Hartmut Rosa, examines phenomena and practices of sharing with regard to the relationships entered into with things, with others, as well as with oneself. Drawing on Simmel, a distinction is made between the private and the public as spheres in which proximity and distance are simultaneously practically negotiated and institutionally anchored from a spatial and social point of view. Property and its usage—alone or together with others—play a central role here, because spatial structures are formed and maintained, but can also change, depending on specific property objects and their particular use. Based on own empirical findings on the shared use of living space (homesharing) and vehicles (carsharing), the article examines what impact sharing practices have on proximity and distance relationships and thus on the (re)structuring of spaces within cities
“From my life, she will never be gone, even though she is no longer here”:A single case interpretative phenomenological analysis on spousal loss and resilience
No full textOlder people often face drastic life events, such as spousal loss, that profoundly affect their daily lives. Consequently, resilience—how one navigates life’s changes to avoid further adverse outcomes—is increasingly relevant in ageing studies. Although understanding older adults’ resilience is key to preventing adverse outcomes, the complexity of loss-related events and everyday resilience in later life is underexplored from a process-based perspective. This study employs an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) case study of one individual to investigate resilience in response to spousal loss from a process-based perspective. Four interviews were conducted with this one participant and data was analysed following IPA guidelines. Findings indicate how resilience, in this case, resembles a process of continuous adaptation and renewal or “bouncing forward”, in the face of diverse adversities, as written by Bourbeau. This study enriches our understanding of the process-based perspective on resilience, which is essential for concretely defining resilience and its practical application
Manifestations of research ethics and integrity leadership in national surveys–cases of Estonia, Finland, Norway, France and the Netherlands
No full textBackground: A systems approach encourages the consideration of the national dimension of research integrity. National surveys provide a picture of a wider research community overarching research institutions. Material: We investigated how research ethics and integrity leadership (REI) is manifested in national surveys by conducting a cross-case meta-synthesis of national surveys of Finland, Estonia, Norway, France and the Netherlands using deductive thematic analysis. The REI leadership competence framework involves four central principles: “people’s needs,” “developing the community,” “leaders” personal competencies,’ and “open culture.” Results: The principle “researchers” needs’ seemed to be related to the support in the working environment, socializing for values and principles, leaders taking responsibility and the need for understanding for career planning, common practices and managing pressure. “Community development” was characterized through REI infrastructure, like guidelines and training, even though participation in training varied substantially across the countries. The principle “leaders” competencies’ indicated that leaders should be role-models especially in acting appropriately when allegations of misconduct arise. “Open culture” was displayed through trust and courage to talk about ethics including whistleblowing. Conclusions: Results indicated that observed misconduct was often not reported because of fear of retaliation, missing instructions or seeing no point in reporting. We provide recommendations for the development of REI leadership
Flourishing as an educational aim
No full textSince the 1990s, there has been a spate of influential research defending flourishing as the aim of education. Promoting student flourishing is a key goal of education that extends beyond academic achievement. This approach recognizes the holistic development of students, nurturing their intellectual, emotional, social, and physical well-being. Over the past two decades, we have also witnessed increased practical uptake of this theoretical stance. Educators, schools, and head teachers from all over the world have drawn inspiration from this movement explicitly to prioritize virtue language and student flourishing in their classrooms or adopt a whole-school approach that aims to cultivate students' virtuous characters with the goal of student flourishing and well-being. This is clearly a wide educational remit and one that has been championed and criticized. In response to objections, some of which were recently made, defenders of flourishing as an educational aim ought to revisit their premises and further explicate and defend their claim that education should aim at flourishing. This is precisely what the five contributions to this suite of articles do, making a timely contribution to furthering the debate over how and why education can and should aim at flourishing

No full textMensen zijn door en door relationele wezens. Toch is de zorg in Nederland vooral op het individu gericht; we willen niet te afhankelijk zijn en de ander niet overbelasten. Als we eerlijk leren zijn over wat we willen geven én wat we nodig hebben, kunnen we samen zorg dragen
