Emerging Non-OECD Countries: Global Shifts in Power and Geopolitical Regionalization
No full textSince 1990 the banning of ethnic and other identity-based parties has become the norm in sub-Saharan Africa. This article focuses on Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda as three East African countries that have opted for different ways of dealing with such parties. Using case studies, it traces the origins of the party bans in Tanzania and Uganda and explores the reasons for the absence of a ban in Kenya. The analysis shows that the laws on particularistic parties have actually been implemented by the appropriate institutions. However,these laws have only marginally influenced the character of the political parties in the three countries: A comparison of regional voting patterns suggests that bans on particularistic parties have not ensured the emergence of aggregative parties with a national following in Tanzania and Uganda. In Kenya on the other hand, where such a ban was nonexistent until 2008, parties have not proven to be more regional.Sub-Saharan Africa, party ban, ethnic parties, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda,party regulation, party nationalization
„Maina i Kościej” (1843) Narcyzy Żmichowskiej w kontekście badań nad mitologią Słowian
No full textThe article offers a comprehensive analysis of a single work, the early poem Maina i Kościej [Maina and Koshchei] by Narcyza Żmichowska. So far, it has been subjected to various interpretations, viewing the text from either biographical, intertextual (in relation to French literature), feminist, and philosophical perspectives. All of these readings are recalled either directly in the text or in footnotes. Notably, in the course of her queries, the author has not come across a study juxtaposing various snippets of information on Slavic culture and mythology embedded in the poem with the latest findings in religious studies. The ‘Eastward’ turn of European (and further) public discourse has resulted in the tremendous popularity of research on the heritage of Slavic pagan culture, which is currently experiencing a revival — not unlike in the Romantic period, during which Żmichowska operated. In this author’s opinion, Maina i Kościej is a work that merits a reinterpretation from a previously unexplored angle. The article initially outlines the historical context in which the poem was penned, taking into account both Żmichowska’s historiosophical interest in Slavic Antiquity and the period of the November Uprising, as the poem by Żmichowska alludes to both. The study mentions the sources the author drew upon while composing Maina i Kościej, including Adam Naruszewicz’s study on Slavic deities. It then follows with an in-depth analysis of the poem, taking into account references to Slavic mythology, other Romantic-era works, the distinctive poetics of the period, as well as relevant philosophical and historical contexts. As a result, it offers a novel interpretation of a text that deserves to be counted among the unjustly forgotten poetic works of the Romantic era
The Ceramic Assemblage from Staraya Maina Hillfort Long House
No full textThe article is devoted to the analysis of pottery traditions of the population associated with the existence of “long houses” on Staraya-Maina hillfort (Ulyanovsk Oblast), dated by the Great Migration Period. The research is based on the ceramic collection found on the hillfort during the excavations in 1990–1991. This paper presents a typological description of vessels and the results of technological analysis conducted by the author according to A. A. Bobrinsky’s method. The analysis revealed two massive pottery traditions, one of which was widely known on Imenkovo culture settlements, while the second one was a new discovery. The author suggests that this group of ceramics might be associated with an inflow of population from the Middle Oka region and from the Oka-Sura region in the fifth century AD, which brought the typical complex of garnishments of Ryazan-Oka type to the Middle Volga region

No full textRacism in healthcare : a scoping review
No full textBackground Racism constitutes a barrier towards achieving equitable healthcare as documented in research showing unequal processes of delivering, accessing, and receiving healthcare across countries and healthcare indicators. This review summarizes studies examining how racism is discussed and produced in the process of delivering, accessing and receiving healthcare across various national contexts. Method The PRISMA guidelines for scoping reviews were followed and databases were searched for peer reviewed empirical articles in English across national contexts. No starting date limitation was applied for this review. The end date was December 1, 2020. The review scoped 213 articles. The results were summarized, coded and thematically categorized in regards to the aim. Results The review yielded the following categories: healthcare users’ experiences of racism in healthcare; healthcare staff’s experiences of racism; healthcare staff’s racial attitudes and beliefs; effects of racism in healthcare on various treatment choices; healthcare staff’s reflections on racism in healthcare and; antiracist training in healthcare. Racialized minorities experience inadequate healthcare and being dismissed in healthcare interactions. Experiences of racism are associated with lack of trust and delay in seeking healthcare. Racialized minority healthcare staff experience racism in their workplace from healthcare users and colleagues and lack of organizational support in managing racism. Research on healthcare staff’s racial attitudes and beliefs demonstrate a range of negative stereotypes regarding racialized minority healthcare users who are viewed as difficult. Research on implicit racial bias illustrates that healthcare staff exhibit racial bias in favor of majority group. Healthcare staff’s racial bias may influence medical decisions negatively. Studies examining healthcare staff’s reflections on racism and antiracist training show that healthcare staff tend to construct healthcare as impartial and that healthcare staff do not readily discuss racism in their workplace. Conclusions The USA dominates the research. It is imperative that research covers other geo-political contexts. Research on racism in healthcare is mainly descriptive, atheoretical, uses racial categories uncritically and tends to ignore racialization processes making it difficult to conceptualize racism. Sociological research on racism could inform research on racism as it theoretically explains racism’s structural embeddedness, which could aid in tackling racism to provide good quality care.Sarah Hamed, Hannah Bradby, Beth Maina Ahlberg and Suruchi Thapar-Björkert contributed equally to this work.</p
Processes of transgression: inverting dichotomies \"from object to subject\" in Maina Mendes and Myra, by Maria Velho da Costa
No full textMaria Velho da Costa, autora de escrita íngreme, apresentou um legado de transgressão na literatura portuguesa contemporânea de autoria feminina. Neste trabalho, procuramos analisar as obras Maina Mendes (1969), romance de estreia, e Myra (2008), último romance publicado pela escritora. Observamos como a construção do discurso feminino é pautado dentro das obras por meio da linguagem e do papel dos interlocutores do discurso. Além disso, apresentamos a leitura dessas obras como Bildungsroman, alicerçados principalmente, nas contribuições de Cristiana Ferreira Pinto sobre o Bildungsroman feminino. Nesse sentido, utilizamos o conceito de Bildungsroman para ilustrar como o Bildungsroman feminino rompe com a tradição, seja por meio do discurso, seja pela formação interrompida.Maria Velho da Costa, an author of steep writing, presented a legacy of transgression in contemporary Portuguese literature of female authorship. In this paper, we seek to analyze the works Maina Mendes (1969), her debut novel, and Myra (2008), her last published novel. We observe how the construction of the female discourse is guided within the works through language and the role of the discourse\'s interlocutors. Furthermore, we present the reading of these works as Bildungsroman, based mainly on the contributions of Cristiana Ferreira Pinto about the female Bildungsroman. In this sense, we use the concept of Bildungsroman to illustrate how the female Bildungsroman breaks with the traditional Bildungsroman, either through discourse or interrupted formation

No full textHealthy homes initiative project
No full textA healthy and safe community is vital for the overall quality and economic stability of any city. To maintain the health and attractiveness of our communities, we must rebuild, enhance, restore and alleviate sickness in our neighborhoods. A major objective of many neighborhood revitalization programs is to increase home ownership to help stabilize neighborhoods and strengthen communities. It creates important local and individual incentives for maintaining and improving private property and public spaces. Local nonprofit community development corporations spearhead the revitalization of distressed communities.
The Lemoyne-Owen College area was faced with the challenge of a deteriorating community. To solve this problem, LeMoyne-Owen College Community Development Corporation (LOCCDC) was re- established in 1989 to institutionalize Lemoyne-Owen College's commitment to its community. Since its establishment, LOCCDC has been recognized as a key mechanism for community development and outreach. This organization has been successful in various areas, including Micro Lending, Business and Economic Development and Housing.
LOCCDC started the Housing component in 1999 when it received its first CHDO grant. Since then, it has built 10 new single homes and rehabilitated 5 single homes using its "Build a Block" infill program.
LOCCDC started the Healthy Homes Initiative program in 2004 to join the nation in its effort to eliminate the home lead poisoning especially in children under the age of six years by the year 2010 while producing affordable homes for sale to low income single families. LOCCDC aims to complete 20 such projects by the turn of the decade.
This paper is a demonstration of how LOCCDC conducted the first piece of the Healthy Homes Initiative Project with an outline of community needs assessment, the problem statement, project design, project implementation and project monitoring and implementation process.
