Taking the Town: Collegiate and Community Culture in the Bluegrass, 1880-1917 explores culture and intellectual life in Lexington, Kentucky, at the turn of the twentieth century. Drawing from local newspapers and from the work of historians and other writers, Kolan Thomas Morelock reveals Lexington to be a city of contradictions: known as a cultural "Athens of the West," it also struggled with the poverty, ignorance, and bigotry characteristic of southern communities after the Civil War. Taking the Town examines the contributions to local culture made by the literary and dramatic clubs prevale

Clinicians, managers and researchers - as well as politicians and religious leaders - are worrying about a lack of compassion and humanity in the care of vulnerable people in society.In this book Tim Dartington explores the dynamics of care. He argues that we know how to do it, but somehow we seem to keep getting it wrong. Poor care in hospitals and care homes is well documented, and yet it continues. Care for people in their own homes is seen as an ideal, but the reality can be cruel and isolating. Tim describes research over forty years in thinking why institutional and community care are both subject to processes of denial and fear of dependency.His examples include children in hospital, people with disabilities living in the community, and the care of older people and those with dementia. He asks why there has been such splitting between health and social care and what underlying purpose this split may have in a societal response to vulnerability and long-term dependency. He also explores the implications of such dynamics of care in a vivid case study, drawn from his own experience, of the care as it developed over six years around a vulnerable person living and dying at home.

En México coexisten regiones con diversas condiciones climáticas, geográficas, demográficas, culturales y económicas que influyen en la calidad de vida de sus habitantes. Tal es el caso de la región semidesértica de Querétaro, donde la condición de pobreza de sus habitantes se acentúa por las características de la zona donde viven y por aspectos culturales. Ante ello, los diferentes niveles de gobierno y algunas organizaciones civiles han buscado formas de apoyo que mitiguen el nivel de pobreza y eleven la calidad de vida de la comunidad. Una de ellas ha sido apoyar el desarrollo de las actividades productivas de la región mediante el financiamiento, la capacitación, la asesoría y el seguimiento. En este contexto, se plantea la siguiente pregunta: ¿Cuál es el modelo en el otorgamiento de créditos a pequeña escala de una Sociedad de Solidaridad Social ubicada en la región semidesértica del Estado de Querétaro cuyo objetivo es ayudar a mejorar las condiciones de vida de una comunidad? ; In Mexico coexisting regions with different climate, geography, demography, culture and economy. These aspects have influence in the quality of life of its inhabitants as in the case of the semi-desert region of Querétaro, where the condition of poverty of its inhabitants is accentuated by the characteristics of their area and cultural aspects. In response, the different levels of government and civil organizations have sought ways to support those people and raise the quality of life of the community. One of them has been supporting the development of productive activities in the region through funding, training, advice and monitoring. In this context, the following question arises: What is the model in lending to small scale of a Social Solidarity Society located in the semi-desert region in the Querétaro State whose aim is to help improve the living conditions of a community?

The concept of alienation has a long past in the history of ideas. It has been dealt with in the works some great writers of the past. Alienation has influenced philosophers during different eras and it is best known after Marx's theories. Since Marx, the «anthological-ethical» and the «psychological-sociological» views of alienation have gained wide acceptance. With Marx, the theories of alienation have been built upon certain assumptions and concepts about human nature and the relationship between man and society (Israel, 1971: 11). Marx's analysis of alienation comprise three aspects: religious, political and economic. He indicated that economic alienation is the most basic and is rooted in the alienation from labour. This paper looks at alienation in organizations, traces its sources and deals with its various dimensions and effects. For the purpose of this paper alienation is defined as «… an estrangement or separation between parts or the whole of the personality and significant aspects of the world of experience …» (Kurt Lang, 1964: 19). ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

This collection of articles aims at revitalizing the study of kinship and exchange in a social network perspective. It brings together studies of empirical systems of marriage and descent with investigations of the flow of material resources in societies of Africa, Asia, the Pacific and Europe. Restudies of classic ethnographic cases and fieldwork studies of kinship and exchange demonstrate how the social and material aspects of society are related, and address issues of concern to anthropology and the neighbouring disciplines of history, sociology and economics. This book marks the emergence of an era in the study of kinship and exchange using a productive combination of ethnographic substance with formal methods, one which leaves behind older structural-functionalist and culturalist assumptions

La ciudad de Manizales se ha identificado por ser una ciudad universitaria, culta y con una historia cafetera y agrícola importante, no solo a nivel regional sino nacional. Sin embargo en la actualidad estos factores, han estado deprimidos debido al entorno económico, político y social que atraviesa en estos momentos el país. En Manizales se empieza a ver que el desarrollo de las actividades industrial y comercial se convierten en estratégicas y fundamentales para el desarrollo y mejoramiento económico de la ciudad y de la región. En este sentido, las Pyme que son consideradas como pequeñas y medianas empresas se vuelven una oportunidad importante para propiciar la generación de empleo y el crecimiento de la región, ya que estas se encuentran ubicadas primordialmente en los sectores industriales más intensivos en el uso de mano de obra, teniendo en cuenta el tratamiento diferencial frente a la gran industria, esto obedece a que la tecnología empleada por las Pyme generalmente ha sido mas adecuada respecto a la dotación de factores productivos del país, que la tecnología utilizada por la industria grande, convirtiéndose en una fuente importante de generación de empleo. La atomización de la producción de las Pyme contribuye a incrementar la competencia en el suministro de bienes industriales, ya que éstas tienen una participación considerable en la oferta de bienes de consumo y de bienes de capital. Entre los sectores con mas alta participación, se destacan: las confecciones, el calzado, productos de madera, muebles no metálicos, plásticos, productos metálicos y maquinaria. Generalmente las Pyme son más intensivas en el consumo de materias primas nacionales que las grandes empresas, por lo que sus efectos multiplicadores sobre el resto de la economía son proporcionalmente mayores. ; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM) ; INTRODUCCIÓN 1 1.

However, at present these factors have been depressed due to the economic, political and social environment that the country is currently experiencing. In Manizales we are beginning to see that the development of industrial and commercial activities become strategic and fundamental for the development and economic improvement of the city and the region. In this sense, SMEs that are considered as small and medium-sized companies become an important opportunity to promote the generation of employment and growth in the region, since they are located primarily in the most intensive industrial sectors in the use of hand of work, taking into account the differential treatment compared to large industry, this is due to the fact that the technology used by SMEs has generally been more appropriate with respect to the allocation of productive factors in the country, than the technology used by large industry, becoming in an important source of job creation. The atomization of SME production contributes to increasing competition in the supply of industrial goods, since they have a considerable share in the supply of consumer goods and capital goods. Among the sectors with the highest participation, the following stand out: clothing, footwear, wood products, non-metallic furniture, plastics, metallic products and machinery.Generally, SMEs are more intensive in the consumption of domestic raw materials than large companies, so their multiplier effects on the rest of the economy are proportionally greater.

This reference offers the nuanced understanding and practical guidance needed to address domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking in diverse religious communities. Introductory chapters sort through the complexities, from abusers' distorting of sacred texts to justifying their actions to survivors' conflicting feelings toward their faith. The core of the book surveys findings on gender violence across Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Eastern, and Indigenous traditions--both attitudes that promote abuse and spiritual resources that can be used to promote healing. Best practices are included for appropriate treatment of survivors, their children, and abusers; and for partnering with communities and clergy toward stemming violence against women. Among the topics featured: Ecclesiastical policies vs. lived social relationships: gender parity, attitudes, and ethics. Women's spiritual struggles and resources to cope with intimate partner aggression. Christian stereotypes and violence against North America's native women. Addressing intimate partner violence in rural church communities. Collaboration between community service agencies and faith-based institutions. Providing hope in faith communities: creating a domestic violence policy for families. Religion and Men's Violence against Women will gain a wide audience among psychologists, social workers, marriage and family therapists, and other mental health professionals who treat religious clients or specialize in treating survivors and perpetrators of domestic and intimate partner violence, stalking, sexual assault, rape, or human trafficking.

This paper aims to present and discuss the results of a survey study concerning the notion of SZACUNEK ("esteem"). The survey was conducted in a group of students from Lublin universities: Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, University of Life Sciences in Lublin, Medical University of Lublin and Lublin University of Technology. The participants of the study included male and female students pursuing both STEM and liberal arts degrees.The present paper is situated within the research on the language of values, which has its framework in the context of the five-volume Leksykon aksjologiczny Słowian i ich sąsiadów ("Axiological Lexicon of Slavs and Their Neighbours") published under the scholarly and editorial direction of Jerzy Bartmiński as part of the international conference EUROJOS. The analyses discussed by the author were carried out in accordance with the methodological approach adopted in the report Język – wartości – polityka. Zmiany rozumienia nazw wartości w okresie transformacji ustrojowej w Polsce ("Language, Values, Politics. Evolution of the Understanding of Names of Values during the System Transformation in Poland") published under the direction of Jerzy Bartmiński. The survey study made use of the Axiological Dictionary Questionnaire. All respondents were obligatorily asked the following question: "What – in your view – constitutes the essence of esteem?". The analysis and discussion of questionnaire results was based on 100 responses (N) and 142 "mini-responses" (W). This allowed to distinguish 28 descriptors (D), 15 of which had only single occurrences. Descriptor characteristics (along with the corresponding phrases) were ordered according to the number of occurrences and assigned to appropriate aspects. Six aspects characteristic for the students' view of ESTEEM were distinguished. ; Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie wyników badań ankietowych dotyczących rozumienia pojęcia szacunku, zgodnie z ujęciem metodologicznym przyjętym w raporcie Język – wartości – polityka. Zmiany rozumienia nazw wartości w okresie transformacji ustrojowej w Polsce wydanym pod kierunkiem Jerzego Bartmińskiego (JWP 2006). W przeprowadzonym badaniu empirycznym posłużono się schematem lubelskiej ankiety ASA. Adekwatnie do przyjętej procedury wszystkim studentom obligatoryjnie zadano jedno pytanie: "Co – według Ciebie – stanowi o istocie prawdziwego szacunku?".Do grupy respondentów włączono 100 studentów 5 lubelskich uczelni: Uniwersytetu Marii Curie -Skłodowskiej, Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, Uniwersytetu Przyrodniczego, Uniwersytetu Medycznego i Politechniki Lubelskiej. W gronie ankietowanych byli przedstawiciele obu płci (kobiety i mężczyźni), wśród nich studiujący zarówno kierunki ścisłe, jak i humanistyczne. The data gathered from the students of Lublin universities point out to the profoundly social nature of ESTEEM – it was the social aspect (S) that had the most occurrences. On this level, the essence of esteem lies mainly in: 1) acceptance and empathy toward others (the trait most frequently mentioned by the respondents) – strongly linked to the respect for difference, tolerance, understanding and kindness, and thus clearly correlated with subjective treatment of other people; 2) courteous manners manifested through appropriate behaviour toward others (understood as positive treatment of others, proper wayof addressing people, or wearing occasion-appropriate attire), and appropriate treatment of animals and objects; 3) recognizing the other's authority, clearly correlated with showing admiration/respect. The psychological (P), ethical (E) and psychosocial (A) aspects ranked second, third and fourth in the occurrence hierarchy, respectively. According to the respondents, the existential (B) and cultural (K) aspects are characterised by the lowest occurrence. The data gathered in the course of the survey is in agreement with the subjective denotation of the word szacunek, recorded in the primary position in all newer dictionaries of the Polish language: "recognition of the value of someone / something, consideration, regard", or "particular regard or respect shown to someone / something".
