This article deals with the main oppositional stances and their manifestations in Kaunas during the late Soviet period, employing the theoretical model of 'unobtrusive practices of contention' as formulated by H. Johnston and C. Mueller.
During the analysed period the main oppositional groups in occupied Lithuania were of a rather non-conformist nature. One of the socially recognisable and visible forms of ideological protest was
represented by ethno-cultural and Catholic movements, based on traditional values, another, by prowestern subcultures or artists' gatherings. Even though the activities of these groups allow us to comprehend them analytically as the main hotbeds of resistance, strong negative stances towards the Soviet regime were widespread in the rest of society. Such stances didn't acquire the form of evident, declarable or socially visible practices, yet they contributed to the success of Sąjūdis as a social movement. Social movements are largely connected with a collective identity and the securing or preservation of it. The oppositional stances discussed in the article grounded such a collective identity. Its existence provides an explanation of the rapid mobilisation of the movement – in just three weeks after its establishment in the rallies of Sąjūdis tens of thousands and very soon afterwards hundreds of thousands participated.

Operationalizing Cairo and Beijing: a training initiative in gender and reproductive health was launched four years ago as a 3-week training course to offer program managers and health planners the conceptual and technical skills and tools to integrate reproductive rights and gender equality into policies, planning, and programs. The course has run for several years in South Africa, as well as in Argentina, Australia, China and Kenya, and the curriculum is currently being edited for global distribution.

Drawing on a broad range of approaches in the fields of sociology, anthropology, political science, history, philosophy, medicine and nursing, Power and the Psychiatric Apparatus exposes psychiatric practices that are mobilized along the continuum of repression, transformation and assistance. It critically examines taken for granted psychiatric practices both past and current, shedding light on the often political nature of psychiatry and reconceptualizing its central and sensitive issues through the radical theory of figures such as Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari, Goffman, and Szasz. As such, this ground-breaking collection embraces a broad understanding of psychiatric practices and engages the reader in a critical understanding of their effects, challenging the discipline's altruistic rhetoric of therapy and problematizing the ways in which this is operationalized in practice. A comprehensive exploration of contested psychiatric practices in healthcare settings, this interdisciplinary volume brings together recent scholarship from the US, Canada, the UK, Europe and Australia, to provide a rich array of theoretical tools with which to engage with questions related to psychiatric power, discipline and control, while theorizing their workings in creative and imaginative ways

Debates about the production and use of biofuels are emotionally charged and often one-sided, with one group presenting them as a cure-all, the other condemning them out of hand. Assessments of the social and ecological repercussions of biofuel production diverge enormously, and putatively social and ecological criticism sometimes serves as a cover for economic interests. Depending on the competitiveness of their domestic biofuel production, states strive to open up new markets or erect trade barriers to protect their own industries. Finally, the debate is often conducted in idealistic terms, where the pros and cons of biofuels are measured not by the yardstick of empirical comparison with other resources and fuels, but against utopian standards that only few products can hope to satisfy. This study focuses on trade and value conflicts over biofuels, and shall contribute to de-emotionalising the discussion. We outline the positions of the biggest biofuel-producing states, Germany/EU, the United States and Brazil, and analyse their main lines of argument as well as bilateral and multilateral cooperation formats that seek to bridge differences and thus reduce conflict potential

SUMMARYFreedom (in the choice of jobs or the place of residency) and fairness (horizontal equity) may be inconsistent with the attainment of (vertical) equity (interpersonal equalization of marginal welfare of income) and/or efficiency, even abstracting from familiar factors (incentive effects, administrative costs) accounting for the equity‐efficiency trade‐off. The imposition of congestion taxes on urban residency or the offer of high salaries to attract volunteer soldiers may achieve an efficient division of the population consistent with freedom and fairness but is unlikely to coincide with the equalization of the marginal welfare of income. This conflict may partly explain the urban‐rural segregation in China and the prevalence of conscription.ZUSAMMENFASSUNGFreiheit (wie zum Beispiel in der Wahl des Berufes oder Wohnsitzes) und Fairness (horizontale Gerechtigkeit) können unvereinbar sein mit dem Ziel der (vertikalen) Gerechtigkeit und/oder der Effizienz, selbst wenn man von den bekannten Faktoren (wie Ansporneffekten oder Administrationskosten) abstrahiert, die für den Trade‐off zwischen Gerechtigkeit und Effizienz verantwortlich sind. Freiheit und Fairness erfordern Indifferenz zwischen den Alternativen (Gleichheit des Gesamfnutzens), während (vertikale) Gerechtigkeit zwischenpersönliche Gleichsetzung des Grenznut‐zens der Einkommen voraussetzt. Die Aufbürdung von Ballungssteuern auf städtische Wohnsitze oder eine Solderhöhung als Ansporn für freiwilligen Militärdienst können eine effiziente Aufteilung der Bevölkerung im Einklang mit den Zielen der Freiheit und Fairness erreichen, aber sie werden kaum die Gleichsetzung der Grenz‐nutzen der Einkommen erreichen. Dieser Konflikt mag einen Beitrag leisten zu der Erkläarung der Segregation in China zwischen Stadt und Land und dem weitverbrei‐teten Phänomen der Wehrpflicht. Der vorliegende Beitrag bietet einen Beweis und eine schematische Illustration des Problems und eine allgemeine Diskussion des Konflikts.RÉSUMÉLa liberté (comme dans le choix ďune situation professionnelle ou ďun lieu de résidence) et ľimpartialité (équité horizontale) peuvent ětre incompatibles avec la réalisation de ľéquité (verticale) et/ou de ľefficacité, měme en faisant abstraction des facteurs familiers (effets ďincitation, coǔts administratifs) qui interviennent dans le compromis équité‐efficacité. Liberté et impartialité requièrent une indifférence individuelle (égalité des utilityés totales) entre les deux possibilityés, tandis que 1'equite (verticale) requiert une egalisation interindividuelle du bien‐etre marginal du revenu. Asseoir un impot ďencombrement sur les residences urbaines ou offrir des salaires eleves pour attirer des soldats volontaires peuvent permettre ďobtenir une repartition efficace de la population compatible avec la liberte et ľimpartialite, mais ont peu de chances de coi'ncider avec legalisation du bien‐etre marginal du revenu. Ce conflit peut expliquer en partie la segregation ville‐campagne en Chine et le maintien de la conscription. Le present article verifie la théorie de ce conflit, illustre ce problème graphiquement, et pose le débat en termes généraux.

Main AimThe Digital Health Survey was the first nationally representative survey in Wales aiming to understand the extent to which people use social media, disclose personal health related information through social media sites and different user patterns across population groups.
MethodsA nationally representative household sample (n=1,252) was identified by a probabilistic sampling approach. One individual, aged 16 years and older, per household was randomly invited to complete a face-to-face questionnaire between April and June 2018. The survey collected quantitative information on use of social media platforms, perception of sharing personal health information on social media platforms, health status and socio-demographic characteristics. We tested the relationships among use, user type, demographics and health status using Chi-squared test or Fisher's exact test correspondingly. Using estimated marginal means (and 95% confidence intervals), adjusted proportions of people who reported their use on social media platforms was calculated by adjusted mean, controlling for confounders.
Results76.9% of the Welsh population engaged with social media, including 64.7% who used one or more form of social media platform on a daily basis. The most frequently used (i.e. daily) social media platform was Facebook (50.6% of the Welsh population including 23.4% used several times a day). Within the population sampled, controlling for confounders, significant higher proportion of women (91%) users were found compared to men (86%). 99.6% of 16-29 years old used social media with significant lower proportions for older age groups (i.e. 75.6% for 60-69 and 59.8% for 70+). No significant differences were found between social media engagement and deprivation quintiles. 9.6% shared personal health information on social media with friends and family, while only 2.7% shared health information with people they did not know.
ConclusionPatterns in social media use are an important consideration for health promotion. The absence of a difference by deprivation groups suggests this approach may reach population more traditional routes have not. However, continued reduction in a digital divide and development of effective solutions for health via social media remains a priority.

Abstract. We examined the unique associations among discrimination, suicidal thoughts, suicide attempts, and depressive symptoms in a sample of sexual and gender minority (SGM) youth as well as interpersonal mediators of these associations. Participants included 94 SGM youth ( Mage = 18; SD = 2.88) recruited from SGM-specific drop-in centers. We used mediation analyses to test the mediating effects of perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness on the associations between discrimination and suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and depressive symptoms, accounting for childhood trauma and sociodemographic variables (age, gender identity, race, and sexual orientation). Within our nonclinical community sample of SGM youth, 49% reported a lifetime suicide attempt, 84% reported current suicide ideation, and 82% reported current depressive symptoms. Experiencing discrimination was associated with greater likelihood of suicide attempts and depressive symptoms, and greater perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness, over and above the effects of childhood trauma and sociodemographic variables. Discrimination was indirectly associated with greater depressive symptoms through perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness, and with greater severity of suicidal ideation through perceived burdensomeness. Findings suggest clinicians should assess for discrimination and include a focus on perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness as targets of intervention for suicide and depression.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to analyze changes in undergraduate student knowledge of issues of sustainability relevant to the apparel and textiles industry. Assessment occurred prior to and upon completion of a course that addressed topics specific to the global production and distribution of apparel and textile goods. The study also examined modifications in students' reported apparel purchasing behaviors.Design/methodology/approachParticipants included those in their third, fourth or fifth year of undergraduate education in the apparel and textile discipline at a higher education institution located in the Midwestern USA. All participants were enrolled in a course focused on globalization and the apparel and textile industry. Measures used to assess students' knowledge of social and environmental sustainability issues related to the industry and their apparel purchasing behavior were included in the research instrument.FindingsPre and post comparisons revealed significant changes in students' knowledge of social and environmental issues relevant to the apparel and textile industry. However, the study found no significant adjustments in apparel purchasing behavior. Further, a post hoc analysis revealed no significant relationship between students' knowledge and their reported purchasing behavior.Originality/valueLimited resources exist which examine methods for educating apparel and textile students about sustainability issues, with even less research documented on assessing the effectiveness of these methods. The paper analyzes the contributions sustainability‐focused curriculum can make in modifying the level of knowledge and purchasing behavior of students and recommends further strategies to yield possibly even greater results.
