This article discusses the theoretical possibilities and practical implications of survey data recycling and survey data harmonization. Using the example of political participation (participation in demonstration) of the Russian-speaking population in former Soviet states, the article presents the procedure of key variable harmonization (minority status), the rules, and the procedures of creating a harmonization control variable, and the possibilities of using harmonized variables in substantive statistical analysis. The harmonization procedures described in this article can be used to study other rare events and other minority groups – studies that often struggle with small and insufficient samples.

Heart disease, diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2, and obesity are three of the most prevalent diseases in the USA. Some obesity-related comorbidities are disproportionately higher within African-American and Hispanic communities. While governmental and local health programs offer educational opportunities encouraging long-term health behavior changes, the most accessible programs have been through faith-based communities. This narrative review investigates the outcomes of faith-based wellness programs on Latino and African-American populations with respect to general health and wellness, obesity management, DM type 2, and hypertension. Perceived authority of faith community nurses, faith leaders, and accountability and encouragement provided by faith communities are critical. Long-term behavior change is positively affected by elements faith-based organizations can provide: cultural appropriateness, community support, and self-efficacy.

This study investigates the visual representation of ethnic minority groups in Chinese elementary social studies textbooks. The author conducts a content analysis to examine the extent to which ethnic minority groups are visually represented and to explore the ways in which they are portrayed in some of the most popular social studies textbooks in China. A total of 6075 visuals drawn from 36 books were electronically coded and analyzed using SPSS. The findings reveal the dearth of ethnic minority-related visuals and show that ethnic minority individuals are visually represented in significantly different ways in many important aspects than non-minority people in these textbooks. The author concludes that the visual representations of ethnic minority groups in these textbooks contributes to a binary understanding of minority and majority by limiting the images of ethnic minority groups to selected cultural markers.

This research investigates the relationship between the state economic outlook, state security apparatus and the presence of ethnic minority oppression within the state's borders. Modern states have developed extensive security apparatuses as they have developed their economies and this research intended to identify the possibility of a connection between the development of these aspects of the state in relation to ethnic minority repression. The research is broken up into a research design and introductory section, a case study section, and a final analysis and conclusion section. Each of the four case studies studied a and ethnic minority relationship, and in total there were three states and four ethnic minorities researched.The research analyzed four studies and studied relationships between the economic outlook of the state, its security outlook, cultural issues, and how these relate to ethnic minority oppression. The findings of the study indicate some degree of relationship between all the aforementioned variables. The study suggests that the relationship between the state security apparatus and ethnic minority oppression is second to that of a state's economic outlook and ethnic minority oppression and that the security outlook of a state is not an alternative explanation for state repression.Future research questions recommended suggestions are predicated off the results of this research that showed the primacy of state economic outlook. It is recommended for further research into the spatial relationship between ethnic minorities and the productive forces of states, if and how colonial theories can be applied to states that are not settler-colonial in their foundation in relation to ethnic minorities, and how state security apparatuses have developed and how they interact with ethnic minorities. ; 2019-05-01 ; M.A. ; Sciences, Pol, Scty and Intl Afrs, Schl of ; Masters ; This record was generated from author submitted information.

Reviews Peter Szondi's study of German Idealism in Holderlin Studies (1978) through the prism of the epigraph "What is different is/good." The phrase provides a point of condensation for the concerns of the character & object of literary criticism, & assumptions that dominated scholarship when Holderlin Studies was published. Szondi's study of Holderlin's work affirms the particularity of artwork & an inherent dynamic that governs the movement of the language in the "law of the song." Szondi understands the "law of the song" to be a principle restricted to a single instance. Thus, each artwork ascribes to itself the necessary rules that govern it & it alone. References. J.

State management of diversity is a modern enterprise. China's need to temper the push for national unity with policies of variety and difference is no exception. Marginalization in China: Recasting Minority Politics, a collection of historical and contemporary accounts of gender, ethnic, class and religious minority formation, debunks popular misconceptions about China's highly centralized state and seemingly homogeneous society. Drawing on archival research, interviews and field work it documents how state and citizens meet in a politics of minority recognition, and so inform the growing awareness of rights in China. Rich and timely, this volume reminds everyone that China has the power not only to attract attention to itself but invite reflection back on every polity's approach to diversity
