"Political commentator and media personality Will Witt gives young conservatives the ammunition they need to fight back against the liberal media. Popular culture in America today is dominated by the left. Most young people have never even heard of conservative values from someone their age, and if they do, the message is often bland and outdated. Almost every Hollywood actor, musician, media personality, and role model for young people in America rejects conservative values, and Gen Zs and millennials are quick to regurgitate these viewpoints without developing their own opinions on issues. So many young conservatives in America want to stand up for their beliefs in their classrooms, at their jobs, with their friends, or on social media, but they don't have the tools to do so. In How to Win Friends and Influence Enemies, Will Witt arms Gen Zs and millennials with the knowledge and skills to combat the leftist narrative they hear every day."--Amazon.ca

"Departing from the premise that 'being ordinary' is brought into the discourse and brought out in the discourse and is thus an interactional achievement, the contributions to this edited volume investigate its construction, reconstruction and deconstruction in media discourse. Ordinariness is perceived as a scalar notion which is conceptualised against the background of both non-ordinariness and extra-ordinariness. The chapters address its strategic construction across media genres (public talk, Prime Minister's Questions, interview, radio call-in, commenting) and discursive activities (tweets, social media posts) as done in various languages (American English, Austrian German, British English, Chinese, French, Finnish, Hebrew and Japanese) by professional participants (e.g., politicians, journalists, scientists) and by ordinary people participating in media discourse (e.g., ordinary citizens, viewers, members of the audience). Discursive strategies used to bring about (non/extra) ordinariness include small stories, quotations, conversational style, irony, naming and addressing as well as references to the private-public interface"--

International audience ; The computational simulation of human intelligent behavior has been one of the main research topics in (AI) artificial intelligence domain. Therefore, a great number of behavioral models were proposed considering emotional, cognitive and psychological factors to simulate the human behavior in different domain such as military or manufacturing systems. In addition to psychological factors, the social state of a group of workers plays a critical role in rational decision-making, perception, human interaction and human intelligence. Thus, it is judicious to analyze the workers' behavior at work and to integrate their needs and requirements in manufacturing systems models in order to improve the simulation accuracy. In this context, this paper suggests a graphical and a mathematical representation model of workers' behaviors as well as the ties that can exist among them. The model is also extended to consider inter-worker social relations that can influence the individual performance.

Agroecology aims at developing sustainable farming and food systems, adapted to local contexts. Developing agroecological systems requires the engagement of local actors and the consideration of their knowledge. As the main field operator of the agroecological transition, farmers have a key role: they make the final decisions on their farms and they know the particularities of their farm. So far, research, farm advisory and policy have mainly shown interest in farming practices developed by farmers, neglecting other aspects of their work and life. Moreover, many actors other than farmers play a role in the agroecological transition, and they each have their own reasoning concerning this transition. Indeed, when making a decision about farming and food systems, local actors take into account different types of knowledge (empirical, technical, scientific, local, generic,), in different domains related to agroecology (economic, environmental, social, political). In this study, we analyzed the reasoning of diverse actors, including farmers, farm advisors, natural park managers and politicians. We conducted 33 semi-structured interviews, during which the local actors drew cognitive maps to explicit their reasoning concerning their agroecological transition. Their reasoning revealed an unexpected emphasis on the importance of human abilities and social life in the success of agroecological transition. These results enable to better characterize the "social" aspects in agroecology, including both internal aspects such as one's values, feelings and capacities and external aspects such as relationship management and the capacity of different actors to work together.

This paper looks at refugee children in Germany, drawing on results of an interview-based research project. Areas covered include how the children learn German & the role of bilingual skills; friendships & contacts at school; the degree of integration in the local neighborhood; how traumatic experiences are dealt with; the effects of lack of secure residential status; the specific situation of unaccompanied minors. One of the salient features of refugee children's lives is the state of constant uncertainty as regards the future & life planning. It increases the psychological pressure inherent in life stories already characterized by flight, social dislocation, & social & cultural uprootedness. 9 References.

"Actionable Research for Educational Equity and Social Justice advances a unique, engaged approach to promoting educational equity and social justice in higher education across China and beyond. Developed as a joint venture of senior and junior scholars in China and the United States, this book documents Chinese, Latin American, U.S., and European examples of engaged scholarship supporting the development of strategies for expanding educational opportunities for low-income families. Drawing from collaborative research, workshops, and field investigations, chapter authors propose and test new methods and practices for reducing educational inequality and provide examples of successful practices that have improved access for low-income students across the globe" --
