The EUI-YouGov dataset on European solidarity is built on a large survey designed by the EUI 'Solidarity in Europe' research team and implemented by YouGov. The data aims to empirically assess public opinion on the willingness to redistribute resources within the EU and to examine political attitudes that might explain these preferences. The survey design covers a number of issues, particularly concerning attitudes towards European solidarity; policy preferences; how countries and the EU should tackle COVID-19; satisfaction and trust in national and European institutions; attitudes towards European integration, identity, value of democracy, world politics, security and defence, Russia, NATO and a European army; preferences concerning taxes, a basic income scheme and other policy priorities; the relative salience of different issues and threats facing individuals, countries and the EU; political ideology, religion and voting preferences; as well as other individual attributes such as gender and age. The survey inquired 21.779 adults over 13 EU countries and the United Kingdom, from 17 to 29 April 2020. YouGov implemented the survey online using a randomised panel sampling mechanism to ensure it is nationally representative concerning age, gender, social class, region, level of education, voting preference and level of political interest.

The data aims to empirically assess public opinion on the willingness to redistribute resources within the EU and to examine political attitudes that might explain these preferences. The survey design covers a number of issues, particularly concerning attitudes towards European solidarity; policy preferences; satisfaction and trust in national and European institutions; attitudes towards European (differentiated) integration, identity, value of democracy, world politics, security and defence, Russia, NATO and a European army; preferences concerning taxes, a basic income scheme and other policy priorities; the relative salience of different issues and threats facing individuals, countries and the EU; political ideology, religion and voting preferences; as well as other individual attributes such as gender and age. The survey inquired 11.849 adults over 12 EU countries (including, then, the UK) from 18 to 25 April 2019. YouGov implemented the survey online using a randomised panel sampling mechanism to ensure it is nationally representative concerning age, gender, social class, region, level of education, voting preference and level of political interest.

AbstractCorporate social responsibility (CSR) has been identified as a critical factor influencing consumer decision‐making. However, there has been little empirical research on whether and how CSR affects consumer outcomes in the context of natural disasters. Against the backdrop of the Erke donation event that occurred during the flood in Henan Province, China, the present study examined the relationship between perceived corporate social responsibility (PCSR) and consumer purchase intention/behavior during a special period. We found that PCSR was positively related to consumers' purchase intention and purchase behavior. We also found that while national identity partially mediated the association between PCSR and purchase intentions, this mediating effect was not found in the path from PCSR to purchase behavior. Additionally, we found that herd mentality moderated the direct relationship between PCSR and purchase intention, but not the mediated path.

The Social Economy in Colombia is one of the movements that require more educational efforts, specifically focused on the promotion of a more efficient entrepreneurial and social management. For this reason, this research intends to analyze the role of the Education in the strengthening of the Corporate Governance, which would allow social economy companies, to provide more efficient and responsible services, such as their nature requires them to. Some of the most relevant difficulties that can be found within companies, regarding Corporate governance, are related to: low empowerment and participation, low democracy standards and high dependence to external processes (generally from the government). These difficulties have a negative impact in social economy companies, as they lead them to lose their identity and could also take them to act in a not coherent manner when speaking about their social and corporate doing. The methodology used for this research is based on a qualitative approach, as the technique used for the development of the investigation was In-depth interviews to the Managers and employees of some of the most important Cooperative companies of Bogota. The most relevant result of this research is related to the repetitive request of the people interviewed regarding new educational alternatives for managers and employees of cooperative companies, that would empower them to evaluate the corporate governance through an educational process characterized for being more analytical, thoughtful and transformative. ; La economía social en Colombia es un movimiento que demanda procesos educativos enfocados a incentivar la óptima gestión empresarial y social, por tanto, esta investigación propone analizar el papel de la educación en el fortalecimiento de la gobernabilidad al interior de dichas organizaciones que permitan desarrollar buenas prácticas organizativas, con el fin que las entidades de economía social presten servicios más efectivos, con responsabilidad social, como corresponde según su naturaleza. Las dificultades que se presentan al interior de las organizaciones, como la baja participación, la democracia representativa, la dependencia de procesos especialmente gubernamentales, llevan a que las organizaciones de la economía social pierdan su identidad y por tanto, no son coherentes en su accionar empresarial y social. la metodología que se utilizó en esta investigación fue con enfoque cualitativo, aplicando la técnica de entrevista a profundidad, se dialogó con directivos y empleados de las cooperativas más representativas de la ciudad de Bogotá. Los resultados más interesantes que arroja la investigación, están relacionados con la reiterada solicitud de los entrevistados en buscar nuevas alternativas pedagógicas para incentivar a directivos y empleados de las organizaciones de la economía social, a evaluar la función del buen gobierno en las organizaciones mediante un proceso educativo que sea reflexivo, crítico, analítico y transformador.

Partiendo de las intuiciones originales de la ecología urbana propugnada por la Escuela de Chicago, el presente trabajo se propone reconstruir analíticamente el crecimiento y diferenciación de una ciudad de rango medio situada en la costa atlántica bonaerense. A partir de esta reconstrucción, esperamos mostrar de qué manera determinadas dimensiones implícitas en el modelo de Chicago – y que incluyen la modalidad de poblamiento, la especialización ocupacional y la división del trabajo, los patrones de ocupación del espacio (planificados o no) y los procesos de valorización de la tierra – han operado y operan en el caso específico de esta ciudad balnearia, dando lugar a una trama urbana compleja que responde sólo parcialmente al modelo del mosaico supuesto por la ecología urbana de principios del siglo XX. Asimismo, buscaremos presentar a esta ciudad como un escenario social disputado, vale decir, concebido bajo modalidades alternativas que visibilizan o invisibilizan determinados espacios y que, a la vez, configuran proyectos identitarios, políticos y sociales contrastantes. Palabras Clave: Sociología Urbana, Estratificación Social, Fronteras Espaciales, Ciudades Intermedias, Conflicto Social Abstract Inspired on the original intuitions of the Chicago School, this paper intends to analyze the process of growth and differentiation of a middle-sized city on the Atlantic seaboard of the province of Buenos Aires (Argentina). Through this reconstruction, we attempt to show the ways in which several dimensions implicit in the Chicagoan model – including the dynamics of settlement, occupational specialization and division of labor, settlement patterns (planned or unplanned) and the processes of land valuation – have operated and still operate in the specific case of an intermediate city which is also a seaside resort. The final product results in an urban fabric somehow different from the mosaic assumed by the urban ecology of the early twentieth century. Also, we will intend to portray this city as a disputed social scenario, that is, an arena conceived under alternative modalities which bring into light or cast onto darkness particular places, bringing about contrasting identity, political and social projects.

ABSTRAKPenelitian ini mempunyai tujuan untuk mengetahui dampak dari pengungkapan secara dimensi individu laporan Islamic Corporate Social Responsibility (ICSR) terhadap profitabilitas dalam bank umum syariah. Dalam penelitian ini digunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode regresi data panel serta dengan bantuan alat statistik yaitu Eviews 9. Terdapat 10 bank umum syariah di Indonesia pada periode 2016-2020 yang dijadikan sebagai sampel dalam penelitian ini. Pengukuran pengungkapan ICSR dilakukan dengan teknik konten analisis berdasarkan item-item yang mendeskripsikan nilai-nilai Islam pada laporan tahunan bank sehingga menghasilkan indeks pengungkapan Index Social Reporting (ISR). Hasil dari pengujian hipotesis menunjukkan bahwa secara simultan pengungkapan ICSR berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap profitabilitas bank umum syariah. Secara parsial, pengungkapan dimensi per individu ICSR tidak mempunyai hubungan yang signifikan secara statistik antara dimensi individu ICSR terhadap profitabilitas, kecuali untuk 'komitmen terhadap karyawan', 'komitmen terhadap debitur', dan 'komitmen terhadap komunitas'.Kata Kunci: Pengungkapan, Islamic Corporate Social Responsibility, Profitabilitas, Bank Umum Syariah. ABSTRACTThis study aims to determine the impact of the disclosure of individual dimensions of Islamic Corporate Social Responsibility (ICSR) reports on profitability in Islamic commercial banks. In this study, a quantitative approach was used with the panel data regression method and with the help of a statistical tool, namely Eviews 9. There were 10 Islamic commercial banks in Indonesia in the 2016-2020 period which were used as samples in this study. The measurement of ICSR disclosure is carried out using content analysis techniques based on items that describe Islamic values in the bank's annual report so as to produce a disclosure index of the Index Social Reporting (ISR). The results of hypothesis testing indicate that simultaneously the disclosure of ICSR has a significant positive effect on the profitability of Islamic commercial banks. Partially, the disclosure of individual dimensions of ICSR does not have a statistically significant relationship between individual dimensions of ICSR on profitability, except for 'commitment to employees', 'commitment to debtors', and 'commitment to community'.Keywords: Disclosure, Islamic Corporate Social Responsibility, Profitability, Islamic Commercial Banks.DAFTAR PUSTAKAChariri, A., & Ghozali, I.

The present research examines the relationships between ethical leadership and unit-level organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB) and individual-level job satisfaction. In addition, this study tests the proposition that the impact of ethical leadership on these outcomes is moderated by leader role modeling strength, a unit-level construct that captures within-group consensus regarding the extent to which unit members perceived the leader as a role model of ethical behaviors at work. To these ends, the article draws on social learning theory (Bandura, 1977) and social identity theory (Ashforth and Mael, 1989). The results provide support for the proposed theoretical model in a sample of 297 employees nested in 58 work units. Specifically, ethical leadership was more strongly and positively associated with unit-level OCB and individual-level job satisfaction in work units reporting higher (versus lower) leader role modeling strength. This research highlights the importance of studying leader role modeling perceptions in order to better understand the boundary conditions of the impact of ethical leadership on employee attitudes and behaviors.

Purpose
This paper is a part of a series of papers seeking insight into a holistic perspective into the lives, experiences and vulnerabilities of male-to-female transgender persons (from here on referred to as "transgender persons"/"Ladyboys") within the sex industry in Southeast Asia. "Ladyboy" in Thai context specifically refers to the cultural subgroup, rather than the person's gender identity and is not seen as an offensive term. Among the minimal studies that have been conducted, the majority have focused on sexual health and the likelihood of contracting or spreading HIV/AIDS, while often ignoring the possibility of other vulnerabilities. The paper aims to discuss this issue.


Design/methodology/approach
The study interviews 60 transgender persons working within red light areas of Bangkok. The final research instrument was a questionnaire of 11 sub-themes, containing both multiple choice and open-ended questions.


Findings
This study found that 81 percent of participants had entered the sex industry due to financial necessity. There was also a high vulnerability among transgender sex workers to physical and sexual violence. This includes nearly a quarter (24 percent) who cite being forced to have sex and 26 percent who cite physical assault within the last 12 months.


Social implications
These findings can aid the development of programs and social services that address the needs of ladyboys, looking beyond gender expression and social identity to meet needs and vulnerabilities that often go overlooked.


Originality/value
This survey provides deeper understanding of the vulnerability of transgender sex workers, including their trajectory into sex work and potential alternatives.

Erasmus post-apprentices studyIn speeches and actions of the European and French authorities, mobility of apprentices is promoted as a major economic and political issue. It would promote (it would develop) the development of intercultural and professional skills with a view to longlife training and integration into the European labor market. It's strongly linked to the employment patterns of the next few years with "agility" and "plasticity" as key skills. If he is mobile and aware of the issues of his mobility, he would be able to develop a form of "self-entepreneurship" in a changing and uncertain world. Trained by mobility, he would fit to the expectations of a globalized economy. However, this equation is not evident. The experience of the apprentices' mobility and the apprenticeships they have learned remain poorly known. This thesis analyzes the mobility of apprentices as a space of biographical transition and identity reconfiguration. It considers that mobility is a double movement: in time and space. It fits into life stories in interactionist perspective. It is theoretically appealing to the notion of modernity, to socialization and experiences a frame of proof, to constructions of identity and to the concept of transition. In order to grasp this new experience from the point of view of those who live it, research mobilizes a qualitative survey (etude au lieu de dispositive) based on interviews and drawings. The sample survey is composed of "post apprentices" that have lived a six-months-mobility. The drawings represented the places they lived in during their mobility. Different profiles appear according to the continuity-rupture movements which are exploited with the trade, the mobility or the formation. For all, however, mobility is a training period. Mobility is a space for self-learning and reconfiguration. This highlighting of the world's report reconfiguration, and also of a new self-report, offers new perspectives for thinking about the accompaniment of mobility devices. ; Le cas des post ...

Judicial activism is a contested phenomenon, with the liberals and even the conservatives championing it while denouncing its particular manifestations. In this article, I examine the recent judicial practice of one of the most activist judiciaries in the world, that of India, where progressive politics is often, and sometimes always, associated with an activist and benign court. Indeed, the Indian Supreme Court has a global reputation as a torchbearer on human rights. In this article, I adopt a social movement perspective to understand the actual impact of the court on the struggles of the poor for livelihood, resources, values, and identity, enacted through struggles for the recognition and realization of economic, social, and cultural rights. After an analysis of the record of the Supreme Court of India, I conclude that the Court has increasingly shown a bias against the poor in its activist rulings and made judicial activism a more problematic device for social movements in India to rely upon. To explain why this is happening, the article introduces two ideas: first, the emergence of the judiciary as an organ of governance and its attendant problems, and second, the internally biased nature of the rights discourse which tends to reproduce binary arguments for either increasing State capacity or for increasing choice of goods in the marketplace. The article concludes by exploring lessons from the jurisprudence of other countries and international law and urges the Indian Supreme Court to reinvent a jurisprudence informed more by the social movements of the poor. Adapted from the source document.

Research has underscored the need to generate a clear and coherent theoretical underpinning relating to the social processes attached to involvement in fitness training and organized sports when engaging in young adult offender community reintegration supports. The research utilized a collective and instrumental case study approach to explore the learning and associational experiences of Irish young adult male offenders' participation in fitness training and organized sports during community reintegration. Grounded theory was used to guide and analyze the research, which involved nine in-depth interviews with adult male participants engaging in two community reintegration projects. The emergent theory presents a winding trajectory of prior positive experiences with sports during childhood, rejection of positive leisure activities while engaging in substance use and crime, and the importance of fitness training and sports in providing a new pro-social identity and daily routine while reintegrating. Solitary and compulsive participation was common, with certain sports imparting new values, discipline, and coping mechanisms. Findings can be used to improve lifestyle and sports programs designed to support young adult offenders.

В статье рассматривается политико-правовая идентичность как пример сложносоставной идентичности, которая выстраивается на взаимодействии двух значимых для сообщества его носителей компонентов. Аргументируется тезис о том, что вплетенная в систему многоуровневой идентичности, политико-правовая идентичность становится важным ресурсом интеграции общества. ; The paper deals with the political and legal identity as an example of a composite identity that is built on the interaction of two components significant for the community of its speakers.The thesis is argued that interwoven in a multi-level identity, political and legal identity has become an important resource for social integration.
