Information and communication technology is an important factor for national, regional and local sustainable tourism development according to the long-term Croatian national strategic plan. New forms of information, such as web sites; new media, materials, political and social change, all influence tourists' decisions when choosing specific destinations. The aim of this research is to determine, based on the analysis of the tourism media campaign, the relationship between new communication trends and the application of photography as a medium that influences the experience when choosing a destination and the importance of crucial information factors on web pages based on their technical and visual characteristics.

What did you do before Google? The rise of Google as the dominant Internet search provider reflects a generationally-inflected notion that everything that matters is now on the Web, and should, in the moral sense of the verb, be accessible through search. In this theoretically nuanced study of search technology's broader implications for knowledge production and social relations, the authors shed light on a culture of search in which our increasing reliance on search engines influences not only the way we navigate, classify, and evaluate Web content, but also how we think about ourselves and t

This paper analyses the prospects of civil and social engagement in Albanian higher education by contemplating the impacts of recent historical developments, namely the period 2010-2020. The main goal of the study was to identify the (potential) role of higher education in civil and social engagement (CSE). The study draws on two Albanian case studies: activism in the civil society organisation 'Alliance for the protection of the theatre' and the 2018 student protest against state reforms in higher education. The study asked how education can be involved in building a productive civil engagement that contributes to a (more) sustainable democratisation process. Previous experiences of CSE in Albania, reshaped during the democratisation process, were politicised and hampered democracy. Only after 2000 was Albanian society able to rehabilitate CSE engagement. Due to many factors, such as education, technology and opportunities to travel abroad, the role of the young generation (especially students) and well-educated citizens was of great significance. ; peer-reviewed

This thesis investigates theoretical and empirical developments in thesociology of medical knowledge in the period between 1951 and 1990.The problems addressed are twofold. First, how have medical sociologistsproblematised medical knowledge and secondly, what makes medicalknowledge impervious to sociological scrutiny? The theoretical perspectiveadopted in this study is a critical sociology of knowledge that draws insightsfrom feminist critical theory and from the ideas of Michel Foucault. The studydevelops an analytical framework based on a heuristic distinction betweensociological studies of medical practice, medical education and medicalresearch. The method of investigation comprises analysis of relevanttheoretical studies followed by in-depth analysis of five empirical case studiesof medical practice, education and research.The first conclusion reached is that sociological studies of medical practicetend to investigate the application of medical knowledge; that studies ofmedical education focus on examining the transmission of medical knowledge;and that studies of medical research examine the production of medicalknowledge. The study revealed that the content of medical scientificknowledge was excluded from sociological scrutiny in the studies of medicalpractice and education considered here, due to the positivist assumption thatmedical scientific knowledge of biophysical reality is universal and objectivein nature, and hence not suitable as a topic for sociological enquiry. Incontrast, sociological studies of medical research examine the limits andvalidity of medical scientific knowledge.The second conclusion reached is that there is a considerable degree ofinternal differentiation within the sociological studies of medical practice,education and research. Sociologists are interested in studying aspects ofmedical knowledge which are subject to medical disagreement. Also,sociologists are inclined to study aspects of medical knowledge in which thereis an apparent distance or disjuncture between the cultures of patients anddoctors. Government interest in scrutinising or regulating a medical problemalso focuses sociologists attention on some medical problems rather thanothers. Conversely, medical knowledge tends to remain impervious tosociological scrutiny if it is not subject to either medical disagreement, culturaldisjuncture or government scrutiny.

How should we understand the personal and social impacts of complex mobility systems? Can lifestyles based around intensive travel, transport and tourism be maintained in the 21st century? What possibility post-carbon lifestyles? This book explores how complex mobility systems are transforming everyday, ordinary lives

This article juxtaposes three types of illegitimate motherhood that came in the wake of the second world war in nazi Germany. The first found institutional support in the Lebensborn project, an elite effort to raise the flagging birth-rates, which at the same time turned a new page in the history of sexuality. The second came before the lower courts in the form of paternity and guardianship suits that had a long precedent, and the third was a social practice that the regime considered a 'mass crime' among its female citizenry: namely, forbidden unions between German women and prisoners of war. Through these cases the article addresses issues such as morality, sexuality, paternity, citizenship and welfarism. The flesh-and-blood stories have been culled from the Lebensborn Dossiers and Special Court files, as well as cases from the lower courts.

Based on policy analysis and empirical data, this book examines the problematic consequences of colonial legacies of language policies and English language education in the multilingual contexts of the Global South. Using a postcolonial lens, the volume explores the raciolinguistics of language hierarchies that results in students from low-income backgrounds losing their mother tongues without acquiring academic fluency in English. Using findings from five major research projects, the book analyzes the specific context of India, where ambiguous language policies have led to uneasy tensions between the colonial language of English, national and state languages, and students' linguistic diversity is mistaken for cognitive deficits when English is the medium of instruction in schools. The authors situate their own professional and personal experiences in their efforts at dismantling postcolonial structures through reflective practice as teacher educators, and present solutions of decolonial resistance to linguistic hierarchies that include critical pedagogical alternatives to bilingual education and opportunities for increased teacher agency. Ultimately, this timely volume will appeal to researchers, scholars, academics, and students in the fields of international and comparative education, English and literacy studies, and language arts more broadly. Those interested in English language learning in low-income countries specifically will also find this book to be of benefit to their research.

Social work theory and ethics places social justice at its core and recognises that many clients from oppressed and marginalized communities frequently suffer greater forms and degrees of physical and mental illness. However, social justice work has all too often been conceptualized as a macro intervention, separate and distinct from clinical practice. This practical text is designed to help social workers intervene around the impact of socio-political factors with their clients and integrate social justice into their clinical work. Based on past radical traditions, it introduces and applies a

This pioneering work explores how in our digital age of connectivity, temporal acceleration and real-time simultaneity impact personal and institutional experience. Bringing memory and future studies into a unique dialogue, the book offers an intervention to the current 'temporal crisis' of social life and sociological debates.
