Purpose An interest in social transmission as a source of welfare and income inequality in a society has re-emerged recently with new vigour in leading economic research (see Piketty, 2014). This paper presents a mixed Bourdieu-Mincer (B-M) type micro-economic model which provides a testable mechanism for culturally biased socio-economic inter-generational transmission. In particular, the operationalisation of this mixed B-M type model seeks to find evidence for individual and local cultural capital effects on the economic achievements, in addition to the human capital effect, for both migrants and locals in the Netherlands. The purpose of this paper is to examine two sources of wage differential in the local labour market, namely: individual cultural capital (approximated by immigrant background), which affects schooling results; and the local cultural capital (approximated with the cultural milieu), which directly biases the selection of employees. Design/methodology/approach The study utilises the 2007-2009 data set for higher professional education (in Dutch termed HBO) graduates registered in the Maastricht database. The Mincer-type equation is augmented with a control variable for the local cultural milieu. The authors cope with this model empirically by means of 2SLS and 3SLS methods. Findings The authors find convincing evidence for the existence of both an individual cultural capital and a local cultural capital effect on schooling and wage differentials. This can be interpreted as a migrant background effect leading to a disadvantaged position on the labour market due to less frequently attending high-quality secondary schools. Originality/value More importantly, the authors find evidence for a classical Myrdalian effect of self-fulfilling prophecy, in which graduates with second-generation migrant background have a disadvantaged position due to access only to poorer quality of schooling.

Cultural diversity plays an important role in motivation and learning to the individuals. Effective learning depends on the learner’s motivations it depends on socio cultural environment. Such as learner’s age, sex, cast and ethnicity, religion, culture etc. This article reports how social and cultural diversity interplays on motivation and learning. The study was conducted based on library study and internet search. Articles related to interplays of cultural diversity in motivation and learning was reviewed extensively. Cultural diversity affects human behavior in the choice of a particular action, the persistence with it and the effort expended on it. It is an opportunity to gain various sources of knowledge. Cultural diversity helps to find out the cultural knowledge and skills to the learners and communicate with other ethnic groups. Multicultural knowledge is significant to make the learning motivational and respect the cultural diversity.

Full textAbstract:
Socio cultural change is a dynamic concept and change on different time periods. These variables are change and main determinants of political and economic change. The cultural, ethnic and economic diversity across the country is very hard to have homogeneity within such heterogeneous characteristics. Therefore, new minorities are likely to be created within the subunits. Such units and subunits among various socio-cultural and ethnic groups may create instability. The disagreement on the geographical division of the states has already created instability in the Terai region. Why is socially and culturally diverse Asia still overwhelmingly unfederal ? The issue seeks to answer the question by identifying the factors responsible for the adoption of federalism in some countries as well as its rejection in others, with particular reference to existing research and the practices of federalism in India, Pakistan and Malaysia.1 The central argument is that the federal discourse in Asia is to be conjoined to democracy discourse in order to assess the democratic effect of federalism, which is an important key to federal success. On the basis of a conceptual distinction between diversity- claims and equality-claims, it is emphasized that federalism in Asia needs to strike a balance between its concern for management of diversity and for the production of some equity in the social-cultural and economic realms.

She analyzes the sociocultural dynamics from the end of the 20t hcentury until now. Identifes the main factors that caused a particular variability and plurality of identity (national, ethnic, civil, regional, religious) among the modern population of the Siberian region. Active contacts of different peoples, religions, cultures contributed to the formation of a special socio-cultural diversity, but did not exclude the traditional elements of their mentality and culture.

Full textAbstract:
The compatibility of Islam and Pancasila, the Indonesia’s national philosophy, is still interesting to elaborate even though there have been numerous discussions on the theme. Notably, this paper addresses the harmony of Pancasila and Islam as the umbrella for nationhood and statehood in Indonesia. The writers argue that Pancasila and Islam coexist harmoniously in Indonesia, and this kind of harmony is a valuable esteem to reinforce unity, diversity, and cultural heritage within the society. The acculturation of Pancasila is an effort to integrate its values into daily life through traditions and practices involving various stakeholders. This acculturation will encourage acceptance of diversity and prevent religious extremism. On the other hand, conflicts between political Islam and nationalist groups in Indonesia affect cultural-religious expressions and disrupt harmony. Pancasila is vital in addressing these conflicts and promoting diversity and ongoing dialogues.

<span>The socio-cultural diversity of Indonesia often leads to conflicts and disputes. Therefore, education on socio-cultural diversity is needed since early childhood. The kids’ understanding of the concept of diversity would make them care about their presence in their diverse socio-cultural environment. The aim of this research is to describe the education model on socio-cultural diversity applied in early childhood education. This research uses the naturalistic qualitative approach and adopts Spradley’s data analysis technique. The data of this research were obtained from the school foundation, headmaster, teachers, students, and parents in the early childhood education Golden Kids School, Surakarta. The data collection techniques used in this study are an in-depth interview, participative observation, and document analysis. The steps of analyzing the data include writing notes and categorizing the preliminary data, categorizing different themes, making matrix forms, and making a conclusion based on the matrix. The results of the study show that the practice of early childhood education that uses socio-cultural diversity approach through learning materials such as local songs, dances, and folktales from different regions, enables the kids to have the concept of knowledge and attitudes that respect diversity and highly uphold tolerance.</span>

Full textAbstract:
Nowadays, talking about culture and religion, having formed a clearly expressed cultural content, going beyond any theory, has become an integral part of the processes of becoming a civil society. The cultural approach to the phenomenon of religion requires the synthesis of all existing humanitarian approaches, as well as the systematic analysis of religion as a component of the universe of culture in all the diversity of internal connections that exist in culture. The cultural approach distinguishes integrativeness, interdisciplinarity, attempts to study religion and its relation to culture as a single system and a particular class of phenomena. Before the emergence of cultural studies, people's behavior, their temper, customs and traditions were explained by biological, psychological or sociological reasons, that is, either by the physical type, or by the characteristics of the psyche, or by the specifics of the processes of social interaction.

Full textAbstract:
Indonesia is rich in diversity, which makes the teaching materials more numerous, causing students' understanding of the concept of socio-cultural diversity to be low. This research has the objective of examining the influence of miniature traditional houses on increasing the understanding of the concept of socio-cultural diversity among students at SMPN 5 Garut. The research method used was a quasi-experimental study with a "non-equivalent control group design", The sample was selected using the purposive sampling technique. Class VII E is the experimental class, and class VII G is the control class. Instruments are used in the form of observation, tests, and documentation. Data analysis techniques include the normality test, the homogeneity test, the gain test, and the T-test. The results of testing the hypothesis related to the effect of increasing the use of miniature traditional houses on increasing the understanding of the concept of socio-cultural diversity in students at SMPN 5 Garut are in accordance with the gain test results obtained, namely the N-Gain Score in the experimental class with this medium category indicating that there is an increase in understanding of the concept of socio-cultural diversity in the experimental class, while the N-Gain Score in the control class with this low category shows that there is no increase in students' understanding of the concept of socio-cultural diversity. This study resulted in Ho being rejected and Ha being accepted, so it can be concluded that Ho was accepted and Ha was accepted, so it can be concluded that there is an influence of miniature traditional houses in enhancing the concept of socio-cultural diversity.

Full textAbstract:
Workplaces are becoming increasingly diverse, and businesses constantly face the challenge of ensuring work ethics to strengthen competitiveness. Workplace ethics is affected not just by potential gains and losses of unethical action but also by employee morale, values and self-concept. The ethical reasoning process depends on both perception of what is ethical and the ability to justify unethical action in a given situation. In this study, we explore the role of individual, organisational and situational factors influencing the perceived degree of unethical behaviour at work. Individual socio-cultural factors include personal values, such as honesty, and socio-demographic factors, such as age, gender, education and tenure. Organisational factors are assessed through espoused values of honesty and responsibility. Finally, three situational factors are randomly introduced – low wage, boredom and perceived injustice. Two hundred and eight retail employees were surveyed to assess their personal values and the perceived degree of unethical behaviour at work. We found that honesty as a personal value changes ethical reasoning, especially when situational factors, such as low wage are introduced. Moreover, older employees tend to report more ethical behaviour in the workforce. We also concluded that declaring honesty and responsibility as organisational values could have a minor positive impact on ethical behaviour mitigating the impact of the introduced situational factors. Keywords: Socio-cultural factors, values, workplace diversity, business ethics, ethical reasoning

Full textAbstract:
The contribution of innovation to economic growth and development and the “hard” antecedents of innovation performance are well known. What is less known is the impact of the “soft” factors, in particular, socio-cultural forces on the patterns of technological innovation. In this study, we evaluate the effects of various types of cultural diversities - ethnic, religious, language and values - on innovation performance of a country. We use well-known measures of ethnic, religious and linguistic diversity within a country as well as a purpose-built values diversity measure to evaluate the impact of innovation performance. Using a sample of 61 countries, we find that cultural diversities influence the inputs of innovation. Greater ethnic diversity within a country has a negative impact on innovation performance while values diversity has a positive effect. Our findings have important policy implications, particularly on immigration policies.

Abstract One outlook, many perspectives? Diversity in Flemish news media and the perception of the audience A diverse range of actors and viewpoints can safeguard the quality of news reporting and the distribution of attention to different sides to a story. In this study, we look at the differences in content diversity between the news coverage on two (one socio-economic and one socio-cultural) cases in the Flemish news environment and how these differences translate into perceptions of diversity and bias with the audience. Despite limited differences in content diversity, we find that news items on the sociocultural and socio-economic case highlight different actors. Moreover, news items on the socio-cultural case are more neutral, while the coverage on the socio-economic issue contains more (balanced) viewpoints. These differences in content are largely translated into differences in perception. However, we find that a slight bias in perception of tone in the coverage on the socio-cultural issue is due to personal characteristics and issue-relevant attitudes.

Juvenile delinquency, intolerance and disciplinary behaviour are partly motivated by low religious awareness. State MTs students in Banten have urban and traditional socio-cultural diversity, while geographically consisting of rural, urban, mountainous, and coastal areas. This diversity affects the cultivation of values, traditions, and perspectives on their religious life. The research aims to describe the religious awareness of MTs students in the Banten Region based on their socio-cultural and geographical profiles. The research method used is descriptive analysis, using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Research data were obtained using a religious awareness scale that measured cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects. The ANOVA test results show that sociocultural factors have a more significant impact on the variation of religious awareness of MTs Negeri students in the Banten Region. Socio-culturally, religious awareness tends to be greater for students in urban sociocultural groups.

Namibia’s classroom compositions are diverse. Its policies on diversity reflect international practices of achieving Education for All. It advocates for teacher education that is responsive to the country’s needs. What is unknown is what a socio-cultural curriculum means in Namibian teacher education. This article focuses on the nature of the UNAM’s B.Ed. curriculum and how students learn its contents. I argue that teacher education for diversity should go beyond traditional teacher education programmes. Its curricula should adopt a socio-cultural view. Coursework and teaching practice should reflect the needs of learners and society. Data collection consisted of documents, and interviews. Content analysis was used. Findings revealed that teaching practice lacked dedication in regard to diversity teaching. Consequently, the B.Ed. Programme partially equipped students with competencies to teach diverse learners because coursework alone cannot suffice. The study contributes to knowledge of what a socio-cultural curriculum means in Namibian teacher education.

SummaryIndigenous cattle support approximately 26.1 percent of Ugandan families through provision of food and income in addition to the supply of socio-cultural wealth and security. Cattle keepers have developed and maintained variations of indigenous cattle phenotypes and genotypes suited to their agro-ecological zones through traditional management practices and socio-cultural aspects. The Ankole (Bos taurus indicus), East African shorthorn Zebu (Bos indicus) and their crossbred cattle constitute the main indigenous breeds, adding up to 93.3 percent of the Ugandan herd. With intensions to increase productivity, state policies encourage livestock farmers to upgrade local genotypes towards high yielding exotic dairy cattle. This if not appropriately planned is likely to result into loss of local genetic diversity, well endowed with resilience to local climatic conditions, endemic diseases and feed resource constraints. Here in, we review literature related to indigenous cattle in Uganda including how diverse landscapes, local management practices and socio-cultural aspects have enriched patterns of indigenous cattle variations. Then we highlight potential challenges of intensive management, increased selection for higher productivity and threats to genetic diversity of indigenous cattle populations. Since indigenous cattle vary with landscapes and socio-cultural values, have taken decades to establish, efforts to save them through genetic diversity studies, conservation and farmers sensitization should be undertaken immediately.

Religious moderation is a concept that emphasizes the importance of balance, tolerance and avoiding extremism in religion. This research focuses on the implementation of socio-cultural-based moderation in Watutulis Village, Prambon District, Sidoarjo Regency, East Java, which is designated as a Pancasila Pilot Village. The millennial generation in this village plays an important role in strengthening the values of diversity through preserving local traditions and using digital technology. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. The research results show that local traditions such as Sedekah Bumi, Pancasila-based digital literacy, and national workshops play a significant role in promoting religious moderation. Theories of religious and socio-cultural pluralism are used as an analytical framework in understanding the context of this research.

The existing conceptual approaches to the globalization of culture proceed from the fact that the more the world becomes one, the greater the cultural differences. Global cultural studies, which studies these processes, understands the world not as a single system, but as a multitude of systems, focusing on the decentralized nature of the world system, recognizes heterogeneity and hybridization as the natural state of the culture of the world. The article shows that the most important principle that allows preserving the unity of diversity is the principle of equality, which means that there is no scale of evaluation of culture or hierarchy of cultures in cultural development. This is also important from the point of view of real equality in the relationship of cultures. Approaching a particular culture from the point of view of equality, careful attitude to its uniqueness, it should be noted that the development of any culture depends on the availability of necessary resources, since lack of resources causes the danger of deformation during intensive intercultural interactions. The equality of cultures can be considered as the realization of a universal principle, which in its meaning coincides with the principle of sovereignty. It serves as the basis for the State to conduct its policy and assumes, if necessary, the protection of its rights. Globalization is a process whose scale is relative. This can happen both within and between civilizations. The current stage of globalization is a process that covers the whole world, which was prepared for this at previous stages.

Full textAbstract:
The households’ socio-cultural characteristics are vital indicators of land use practices and human development. Attributes, for example, culture, education, and gender affect the tree species’ cover distribution. However, it is little known if they influence the dominant tree species diversity. The effort to alleviate low-level education, gender inequality accelerated by the local cultural beliefs and traditions has proved ineffective. This survey assessed the effect of culture, analysed the effect of education level, and evaluated the effect of gender on tree species diversity. A sample of 384 household heads was interviewed. A descriptive cross-section survey design and systematic random sampling were applied. Data sources were; Focus Group Discussions, key informants, observation, measurement, enumeration, and photography. Shannon Wiener’s diversity index was applied. Data was analysed using R statistics. Culturally non-adhering households t (363) = 2.62, p = .011, registered significant higher mean score (M = 1.49, SD = 0.82) compared to culturally conservative (M = 1.77, SD = 0.87). Households with higher education level registered (M = 2.02, SD = 0.12) which demonstrated lower score, compared to the households characterized by basic level of education (M = 2.43, SD = 0.26) with a significance of t (382) = 1.74, p =.036, There was insignificant mean score in species diversity contrast in the gender categories, t (382) = 0.639 p = .051, despite males (M = 2.40, SD = 0.26) attaining a lower diversity mean score (M = 2.43, SD = 0.12). The local dominant tree species’ diversity is affected by socio-cultural characteristics. Therefore, for the restoration and conservation of the tree species diversity, the socio-cultural functions should be addressed in the Ugenya Sub-County to attain net carbon sink prospects.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the analysis of the role of the phenomena of ethnic diversification and identity in the social development of polyethnic countries. These phenomena are considered as complex socio-cultural constructs that are traditionally based on ethnicity, culture and social aspects of human life and the nature of their functioning depends on the specific conditions of development of a society. Based on the study of the works of domestic and foreign researchers, the contents of both phenomena are clarified, and their key characteristics are presented. Attention is drawn to the fact that in their interpretations of the phenomenon of ethnic diversification, researchers start primarily from the fact that there are representatives of different peoples and cultures in one state, united in a community based on the ethnic origin of their members. This factor is largely due to the presence of many types of identities. Particular attention is paid to the influences (positive and negative) of ethnic diversification on social processes, the role of identity in social cohesion in polyethnic countries. The contexts and fields of interaction of ethnic diversification and identity in the social space of countries with ethno-cultural diversity of their population are outlined. Attention is drawn to the historical longevity of research as the essence of the phenomena themselves, as well as their interaction. The role of ethno-political management in governance the dynamics of ethnic diversification and in the process of forming identities in order to find compromises in their interaction and achieve adequate impact of the consequences of this interaction on social processes, as well as state policy on ethno-national communities and migration. It is proposed to improve research methods of ethnic diversification based on the base of the clarification of the philosophical approach to the study of ethnic and cultural groups, the identity of which together forms the ethnic diversity of a country, and emphasizes the need to adapt them to the realities of Ukrainian ethnic diversity.

This paper explores the evaluation of socio-cultural principles for the design of integrated cultural center, proposed design of the cultural center in Yola, Adamawa State. Culture always seen as a complex issue and socially, politically highly sensitive, it has nowadays become an overused word (clinched) in almost all contexts of reality. Culture has also been an area in which we most times find controversial in the political and social arena opened that the word culture is often used abruptly without knowing exactly the meaning. The research aim of this study is to design an integrated cultural center exploring the socio-cultural diversity of Adamawa state with the view to enhancing cultural prosperity. The study adopted a qualitative research approach, involving a case study of the Kaduna State Cultural Centre. The findings will provide valuable insights for architects in creating intuitive and accessible to cultural buildings in Nigeria. The study concludes that the evaluation of socio-cultural principles for the design of integrated cultural center can significantly enhance the usability and navigability of public buildings like the proposed integrated cultural center, Adamawa state.

The purpose of the article is to analyse the basic mechanisms of the involved and complex process of sociocultural interaction under global political transformations. Research methodology. The interdisciplinary nature of the research issue involves the use of anthropological, historical and typological description; cultural-historical, comparative analysis; comparative studies and systematics. The structural and functional method is used to study the specifics of culture and politics; civilisational and comparative-historical methods are used to study the features of sociocultural interaction of society because of the transformation of the political system (institutions); a systematic approach provides a comprehensive analysis of the process of sociocultural globalisation. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that issues and features of sociocultural interaction in the context of globalisation are considered for the first time; two viewpoints of globalists, supporters of the development of global culture and anti-globalists who oppose cultural assimilation and cultural globalisation have been identified and characterised. Conclusions. It has been argued that the mechanisms of sociocultural globalisation must be based on the objectivity of global political transformations and the impossibility of stopping them. Sociocultural globalisation strengthens intercultural dialogue and interaction, the civil society’s approach, expands the rights and freedoms of people, improves the quality and standard of living, and deepens understanding of specific features of other cultures, which harmonises the overall international relations system. The article shows that some skills development is important for more effective intercultural communication under globalisation and intensification of intercultural interaction. The development of such skills will allow representatives of different cultures and peoples to understand the similarities and differences between different cultures, enrich the achievements of other cultures’ heritage, and navigate the cultural diversity of the modern world.

The transition from industrialism to informationism, and the creation of a global economy, a new type of society and culture, starts a new phase of development, related to the revolution of information technologies and knowledge-based economy. The world is entering a new era, an information era generated by the information technology revolution and the rapid development of science and education. On our eyes we can see the rising global network society, completely opened to social communication of virtual communities, accepting cultural diversity, creating its own rules of social life, transnational, democratic, pictorial and audiovisual, collecting and processing information, working, paying bills online, investing, absorbing specialists with high digital and communication skills. All this poses new unimaginable challenges to education on a global scale, as it is faced with absolutely new demands and tasks, expressed by the global economy, multinational corporations, virtual culture, national values and the tensions of globalization.

Symbolic communication plays a pivotal role in the socio-cultural integration process. This form of communication involves the use of symbolic languages, such as words, gestures, symbols, and cultural artifacts, to convey information, ideas, and meanings among individuals and within cultural communities. Therefore, symbolic communication is an essential component of socio-cultural integration, contributing to the understanding, transmission, and promotion of culture, the development of cultural identity, and the facilitation of interactions between different cultures. It is a vital tool for fostering a harmonious social environment and promoting cultural diversity in today’s globalized society.

In modern society a certain social processes occur. That is, the complicated socio-economic and political transformation of global scale is associated with the processes of globalization. Unity of mankind and the formation of human culture became a reason of appearing of the phenomenon of multicultural education.In modern scientific literature on this issue a different meanings (multiculturalism poly-culturalizm, inter-culturalizm, transculturalizm, etc.) are found. There is no unity in their interpretation.In our research the terms «policultural society», «the policy of multiculturalism» and «policultural education» will be used. We are distinguishing and defining them as it follows.Defining the essence of the concept of «policultural society» we based on the generally definition concept of «society». But attention in definition was focused on the diversity of cultures.In aspects of our research, we analyze the society that has geographic boundaries (border), a common legislative system and a certain socio-cultural unity. Unity is a reflection of the integrity of the existence of various cultural communities (including ethnic) in the nation.Multicultural society is characterized by such basic features as territory, social structure, autonomy and self-sufficiency, social and cultural unity – typical of the multicultural society.The concept of «multiculturalism» we use in it most common sense, that is – in the meaning of public policy.The concept «multiculturalism» appeared in Canada in 1960, in the process of searching the ways to solve the conflict between Quebec nationalism and English Canada. Multiculturalism was officially politically accepted in 1971. In the European political and academic vocabulary «multiculturalism» came in the middle of 80-s, but it was not an expression of official policy.The problem of intercultural interaction is now in the focus of not only politicians, philosophers, sociologists and culturologists, but also educational community. The trends of developing of modern society have created the necessity of direction of national policies on the development of the educational sector, which would be based on the principles of universalization. In this regard, in many countries of the world, the multicultural education has become the leading development strategy of multicultural society.

Indonesia is a country that has pluralistic diversity. These varieties can be viewed from two perspectives, namely a horizontal perspective and a vertical perspective. The horizontal perspective covers the diversity of religion, ethnicity, regional language, clothing, food, and culture. The vertical perspective includes differences in education level, economy, place of residence, occupation and socio-cultural diversity. The diversity of our nation makes us pay attention to the importance of multicultural education in anticipation of negative social phenomena that may come from diversity, race, ethnicity, religion, and the diversity of values that exist in society. Multicultural education can be implemented through a learning model substantially by acknowledging and respecting cultural diversity.

Cultural festivals as celebrated in Nigeria have enormous potential to drive fusion of diverse socio-ethnic construct. Our study focused on only three psychometric rationales or premise for evaluating common preference in cultural mixes. Fundamentally each ethnic group in Nigeria feels strong about the uniqueness of their culture. Distinct cultural traditions have been preserved and appreciated over history. We synthesized this construct at α = 0.05. Among others, key factors of multiculturalism (r = 0.39) (ideological condition that believe tradition must not be altered or acculturated) such as cuisines, costumes, rituals, languages did not significantly encourage fusion of socio-ethnic groups. Furthermore, among others, key factors of colorblindness (r = 0.52) (ideological condition that believe that culture has common origin “human beings” and common goals “satisfy human’s needs and desires”; and so people everywhere can bridge cultural differentia) such as local business, heritage site, Lifestyle, security correlates. However, lifestyle and security mediates in certain domains of cultural consumption that evokes fear of cultural mixing and which does not absolutely change ethnic predominant cultural mindset. Key factors of polyculturalism (r = 0.79) (ideological condition with the believe that traditions and perspectives influence each other as cultural groups continually make contact and interact) such as awareness, values, friendliness and markets appeared significant in driving fusion. Multiculturalism (p < 0.05) offers high propensity to increasing preference for cultural fusion options through increasing concerns about the impurity from the mixing elements of different socio-ethnic group

This research was motivated by the researcher’s anxiety about the nation’s problems that seem to never end from social conflicts related to ethnicity and religion, because of the attitude of sectoral egoism and intolerance towards diversity. The people of Banuroja are very aware of the impact of risks if social conflict befalls their citizens. This can happen due to a lack of understanding in accepting diversity as a necessity. Their critical readiness has been built very strongly, where seeing diversity is not a threat to people's lives. Therefore, it is important to strengthen social integration in multicultural societies as practiced by the Banuroja community. This study aims to describe the efforts of the Banuroja multicultural community in strengthening social integration in order to avoid the threat of conflict in their communities. This research used a qualitative approach with ethnographic study methods. The results showed that strengthening social integration in the multicultural society of Banuroja was carried out through (1) Strengthening tolerance in the midst of community diversity; 2) Prevent the emergence of sectoral egoism and foster an attitude of solidarity; and 3) Strengthening the role of community leaders as unifier from the threat of social conflict.

Full textAbstract:
Understanding the genetic diversity of domestic chicken breeds under the impact of socio–cultural and ecological dynamics is vital for the conservation of natural resources. Mae Hong Son chicken is a local breed of North Thai domestic chicken widely distributed in Mae Hong Son Province, Thailand; however, its genetic characterization, origin, and diversity remain poorly understood. Here, we studied the socio–cultural, environmental, and genetic aspects of the Mae Hong Son chicken breed and investigated its diversity and allelic gene pool. We genotyped 28 microsatellite markers and analyzed mitochondrial D-loop sequencing data to evaluate genetic diversity and assessed spatial habitat suitability using maximum entropy modeling. Sequence diversity analysis revealed a total of 188 genotyped alleles, with overall nucleotide diversity of 0.014 ± 0.007, indicating that the Mae Hong Son chicken population is genetically highly diverse, with 35 (M1–M35) haplotypes clustered into haplogroups A, B, E, and F, mostly in the North ecotype. Allelic gene pool patterns showed a unique DNA fingerprint of the Mae Hong Son chicken, as compared to other breeds and red junglefowl. A genetic introgression of some parts of the gene pool of red junglefowl and other indigenous breeds was identified in the Mae Hong Son chicken, supporting the hypothesis of the origin of the Mae Hong Son chicken. During domestication in the past 200–300 years after the crossing of indigenous chickens and red junglefowl, the Mae Hong Son chicken has adapted to the highland environment and played a significant socio–cultural role in the Northern Thai community. The unique genetic fingerprint of the Mae Hong Son chicken, retaining a high level of genetic variability that includes a dynamic demographic and domestication history, as well as a range of ecological factors, might reshape the adaptation of this breed under selective pressure.

Full textAbstract:
This paper investigates the influence of cultural pluralism on women's leadership discourse employing a socio-cognitive analysis of women leaders from diverse cultural backgrounds and examines how cultural pluralism shapes their language, communication styles, and discursive approaches. The analysis is carried out on speeches of female leaders namely the previous Singaporean president Halimah Yacob, the previous British Prime Minister Theresa May. By addressing this research gap, the paper aims to deepen our comprehension of the intersectionality of culture, gender, and leadership communication, ultimately advocating for diversity and inclusion. The study adopts the Socio-Cognitive Discourse Studies (SCDS) framework. The research investigates identity formation, socialization and cultural practices within the context of leadership discourse. The analysis concentrates on interactive and interactional metadiscourse features, including transitions, hedges, boosters, self-mentions, politeness markers, humor, and rhetorical questions. The findings demonstrate that women leaders effectively influence perceptions and emotions concerning police officers and social workers through their speeches. They emphasize diversity, collaboration, and audience engagement through interactive and interactional metadiscourse. Furthermore, these speeches advocate social values, support law enforcement, and reflect positive attitudes toward social workers and the police profession. They also celebrate diversity and inclusivity through the utilization of self-mentions, attitude markers, metaphors, and cultural pluralism elements. Overall, this research contributes to both theoretical and practical domains by enhancing our understanding of the intricate interplay between culture, gender, and leadership discourse. It provides valuable insights for leaders and organizations to develop effective communication strategies that foster diversity, equity, and inclusion.

AbstractIdentification and characterization of the farmers’ named crop varieties cultivated around the world is a major issue for conservation and sustainable use of plant genetic resources. Intraspecific diversity is strongly determined by farmers’ socio-cultural environment, but this has little been documented. In this paper, we tested, on a contact zone among three ethnolinguistic groups located on the Mount Kenya region, whether farmers’ socio-cultural differences have an impact on the morphological characteristics of the farmers’ named sorghum varieties. Eighteen qualitative morphological traits of the panicles were measured. We first compared the morphological diversity of the named varieties among ethnolinguistic groups using multivariate analysis of homogeneity of groups’ dispersion and tested their differentiation using permutational multivariate analysis of variance. Discriminant analysis of principal components was then used to categorize the morphological diversity withouta priori, and this classification was compared with farmers’ local taxonomy (vernacular names) in the three ethnolinguistic groups. Our results show that some morphotypes are peculiar to some ethnolinguistic groups and that a morphotype can bear different variety names while the same variety name can be used to identify different morphotypes. Morphological differentiation that was explained by ethnolinguistic groups was higher for local landraces than for improved varieties. Our findings imply that socio-cultural diversity of farmers and the criteria they use to identify and maintain landraces need to be considered in studying and sampling crop diversity forin situas well as forex situconservation.

The article actualizes the concept of «Soviet man» as a socio-cultural and philosophical-anthropological phenomenon. Based on a broad empirical material, the author substantiates the idea of the project «Soviet man» as a generalized artistic image, a set of social and moral characteristics, visual and verbal matrices. The integration of the cultural project with the world tradition (in particular, the ancient one) is established, and the artistic-aesthetic and socio-political aspects of works of art as cultural practices are substantiated. It is concluded that the considered concept incorporates human experience, which is in demand due to its diversity, tendentiousness, structural certainty, strangeness and recognizability.

Cultural diversity in sports is a multifaceted phenomenon that encompasses various ethnic, racial, and cultural backgrounds participating in athletic activities. Explores the significance of cultural diversity in sports, highlighting its role in bridging societal gaps and fostering community building. By examining case studies, theoretical frameworks, and empirical research, this paper aims to illustrate how sports can serve as a powerful medium for promoting inclusivity, understanding, and social cohesion. The global landscape of sports has evolved dramatically, reflecting the increasing cultural diversity of societies worldwide. Sports have long been recognized as a unifying force, transcending barriers of language, ethnicity, and socio-economic status. This exploration emphasizes that cultural diversity not only enriches the sporting experience but also plays a crucial role in creating a sense of belonging among individuals from different communities. Ultimately, the manuscript advocates for a deeper understanding of the positive impacts of cultural diversity in sports and the importance of addressing the challenges that accompany it.

Full textAbstract:
Combining socio-cultural valuations of ecosystem services with ecological and monetary assessments is critical to informing decision making with an integrative and multi-pronged approach. This study examined differences in the perceptions of ecosystem service supply and diversity across eight major ecosystem types in Spain and scrutinized the social and ecological factors shaping these perceptions. First, we implemented 1932 face-to-face questionnaires among local inhabitants to assess perceptions of ecosystem service supply. Second, we created an ecosystem service diversity index to measure the perceived diversity of services considering agroecosystems, Mediterranean mountains, arid systems, two aquatic continental systems, coastal ecosystems and two urban ecosystems. Finally, we examined the influence of biophysical, socio-demographic and institutional factors in shaping ecosystem service perceptions. Overall, cultural services were the most widely perceived, followed by provisioning and regulating services. Provisioning services were most strongly associated with agroecosystems, mountains and coastal systems, whereas cultural services were associated with urban ecosystems and regulating services were specifically linked with agroecosystems, mountains and urban recreational areas. The highest service diversity index values corresponded to agroecosystems, mountains and wetlands. Our results also showed that socio-demographic factors, such as place of origin (urban vs. rural) and educational level, as well as institutional factors, such as management and access regimes, shaped the perception of ecosystem services.
