Research has shown that positive evaluations of home are important for very old people’s health, well-being and independence in daily life. The rationale for the present study derives from our survey study findings, confirming such associations also in a younger cohort (N = 371). The purpose of this study was to further increase the understanding of the dynamics of meaning of home and health among
The concept of self-stigmatization is guided by a representational account of selfhood that fails to accommodate for resilience against, and recovery from, stigma. Mainstream research on self-stigma has portrayed it only as a reified self, that is, as collectively shared stereotypes representing individuals’ identity. Self-stigma viewed phenomenologically, however, elucidates what facilitates a st
The importance of indigenous knowledge in reducing risk from disasters andnatural calamities has been widely discussed in the social sciences by scholarsarguing for integrative frameworks and participatory processes. This type ofknowledge is vital for archipelagic developing countries, such as the Philippines, situated in a geographical area exposed to natural hazards. However, despite itspotentia
In this chapter I take Barthes’ concept of transported immobility and allow it to travel from the dining car of a French train to the forests of Sweden and to my own experience of living in a digital media blackout zone. In ‘Dining Car’, Barthes’ reflects on the contrary experience of eating an elaborate meal in an upscale restaurant carriage. This entire mise-en-scene Barthes’ describes as a ‘mir
Nearly all major corporations and many public agencies have established ethics and compliance departments, some of them as the result of penalties imposed by the US Dept. of Justice, others due to embarrassing scandals. The responsibilities of these ethics and compliance departments range from inculcating internal codes of conduct within the organization, preventing bribery in contracts, impeding
Abstract in Chinese本文通过分析 2016年在香港大学举办的“情欲中国：性与女性主体”展映纪录片，以及受邀但因伦理问题未参展的影片，探讨中国独立纪录片电影在处理隐私、性别、暴力、创伤等议题时的女权主义立场性：1）电影人的关怀伦理立场，以及与影片主人公形成（亲密）团结立场；2）影片主人公从坦白和渴求的立场出发，从基于性别的暴力和歧视中重宣自主；3）电影人与影片主人公从不同的立场出发，通过发行控制来降低纪录片对主人公个人生活可能造成的负面影响；4）片中人物与电影人自我转变的演进，因此恢复一度禁止的放映；5）从活跃分子立场出发的政治代言，以及从电影人立场出发的艺术意义上的再现；6）理论与实践之间的紧张关系要求学者、电影人和活跃分子反思性别与知识生产的传统关系，置身于具体处境中进行讨论和落实纪录片伦理。本文认为在制作、展映、评论中国关于女性的纪录片时，有必要采取女权主义的关怀伦理This article analyses a series of ‘Desiring China: Sexuality and Female Subjectivity’ screening and discussion of Chinese independent documentary films at the University of Hong Kong in 2016. It explores a feminist positionality in Chinese independent documentary film to deal with privacy, gender, violence, and trauma: 1) filmmaker’s position on the ethics of care and (intimate) solidarity with pr
This issue of the AILA Review focuses on transdisciplinarity as the key to developing shared languages in and across domains and professional settings. The relationship and collaboration between researchers and practitioners have long been discussed within and across applied sciences and theoretical disciplines, mainly in the framework of transdisciplinarity (see AILA Review 31, 2018, for a recent
This study investigates values and narratives of urban biodiversity in the highly culturally and biologically diverse city Cape Town, South Africa. Local expressions of values of biodiversity are explored, in the context of the challenge of accounting for diverse values of biodiversity through a green infrastructure approach. Based on interviews with practitioners involved in green space and biodi
Whilst it is increasingly recognised that socio-political contexts shape climate change adaptation decisions and actions at all scales, current modes of development typically fail to recognise or adequately challenge these contexts where they constrain capacity to adapt. To address this failing, we consider how a rights-based approach broadens understanding of adaptive capacity while directing att
The future of AIS conferences, thrown into sharp relief by virtual innovations during the pandemic and the subsequent return to face-to-face conferences, is debated in this special issue. This editorial introduces the seven papers contained in the special issue and provides the context for the debate on the future of conferences in the AIS Community as well as pinpointing key contributions made by
Introduction: Problems with adequately regulating aggression are comon in people with mild to borderline intellectual disabilities (MBID). Learning through experience has been shown to be effective in MBID. Therefore, we adapted an aggression prevention training that uses virtual reality (VR), which was initially made for a forensic psychiatric population. We aimed to assess the feasibility of thi
PurposeEngagement of non-academic stakeholders is an important element of education for sustainability, but is rarely mentioned in contemporary agricultural education literature. This article investigates the process of engagement of non-academic stakeholders into higher education programs on agriculture. Non-academic stakeholders refer to private firms that are focused on the acquisition of knowl
Hydraulic fracturing (‘fracking’) was a controversial issue in the United Kingdom that sparked national and community-led groups to organise protest mobilisations. To date, however, the social science literature has largely focussed upon general anti-fracking discourse rather than on the physical, community-led mobilisations that emerged from the frustrations of people directly affected at a local
Although masculinity is a powerful concept in both sociology and gender studies, previous research forgot to analyse sex work under this perspective. Even though the actors involved are men, and previous studies have highlighted the importance of masculinity not only in the relation manto- woman but also in the “gay world”, there is a lack of attention in male sex working. Then, the aim of this pa
To stay within planetary boundaries, we need to move into sustainable levels of resource consumption, or sufficiency. Businesses can play a key role in driving sufficiency as they satisfy and also create demand. This article investigates how a bicycle subscription company can promote sufficiency among its users, with a focus on modal shift and product care. It aims to fill the research gap on how
