That has especially been true of scholarship employing methods of counterforensic documentation—methods turning the state's monopoly on forensic investigation of crimes towards the investigation of the state (cf. Weizman, 2017). The idea has been that manifestation and accompanying enumeration of violence and suffering would offer proof that border enforcement methods are violent, and that this documentation would compel a change to harmful policies. This goal has been stymied by how agencies charged with enforcing security deny their responsibility for death and injury, instead casting themselves as humanitarian saviors of border crossers at risk. In many ways, this palliates scholarly efforts where they appear in superficial consensus with these border agencies, even as the latter use this apparent consensus to deflect their own role in the violence that occurs. Mindful of these issues, this paper pioneers what we call a “geography of intent.” Plotting the geography of integrated fixed towers (IFTs)—border surveillance technology placed in remote wilderness settings—in relation to sources of safety and shelter, we reveal an intentional placement of this technology to deny access to the few life-saving resources in the dangerous wilderness zones into which migration has been intentionally corralled. This paper also offers a geostatistical vantage on the corporeal effects of this practice.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"120 ","pages":"Article 103332"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144084036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When moving to a new country, many international students maintain the same set of social media they use back home. For Chinese international students, however, pursuing studies in a different country means not only physical but also digital border-crossing. Aside from the Chinese social media platforms (e.g., WeChat, Weibo, Xiaohongshu) they use to communicate with the home-country network, they also have to use non-Chinese social media platforms (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp) to connect with the host-country network. This paper addresses the research question: How does the engagement of Chinese international students on non-Chinese social media within the host country context impact their cross-cultural adaptation? Using a cross-sectional survey, we examined the associations of engagement in non-Chinese social media platforms of international Chinese students (<em>N</em> = 352, <em>M</em>_<em>age</em> = 24.13) with their psychological and sociocultural adaptations. We proposed and employed a comprehensive measure of engagement in (non-Chinese) social media. Results indicate that higher engagement in non-Chinese social media significantly enhanced both psychological and sociocultural cross-cultural adaptations. The association between non-Chinese social media engagement and psychological adaptation was stronger for those who intend to stay in the host country. This study validates previous findings that social media engagement with the host-country network is important in international students’ adjustment. Moreover, this study presents a comprehensive measure of social media engagement to better capture international students’ social media usage.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48216,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Intercultural Relations","volume":"107 ","pages":"Article 102207"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144084380","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This gap is significant, given that bride abductions are practiced across diverse cultural contexts—including parts of Central Asia, Africa, the Caucasus, Southeast Asia, and among some Romani and traveller communities in Eastern Europe. This study presents a first attempt to address this void by exploring how urban, Russian-speaking Kazakh and Kyrgyz women leverage ICTs in the context of bride kidnappings through a decolonial feminist research lens. Methodologically, the study uses an interpretative qualitative framework that features analysis of 14 focus group discussions and 20 individual interviews conducted with Russian-speaking Kazakh and Kyrgyz women residing in the Central Asian cities of Almaty (Kazakhstan) and Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan) in 2022. The findings suggest that urban, Russian-speaking Kyrgyz and Kazakh women use ICTs in two ways to enhance their agency in the context of bride kidnappings: as tools for digital activism to raise awareness and pressure law enforcement, and as personal safety aids to prevent, escape, and document violence, shifting accountability to the abductor. While these results underscore the empowering potential of ICTs, their benefits remain unevenly distributed across urban and educational lines, highlighting the need for future feminist research that explores the experiences of rural, less-privileged women.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47940,"journal":{"name":"Womens Studies International Forum","volume":"111 ","pages":"Article 103119"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144084573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our objective was to assess by means of qualitative interviews (a) whether litigants would mention experiences of perceived procedural justice during these court procedures and, (b) if so, what elements of perceived procedural justice they would mention, (c) how they form judgments of trust in judges, and (d) whether interviewees would mention spontaneously that in these early stages of court procedures, with limited information available, they do not know (yet) whether they perceive a judge as fair or can trust a judge handling their case.RESEARCH QUESTIONWhat role, if any, do judgments of procedural justice, trust in judges, and informational uncertainty play in early stages of civil procedures?METHODWe held 115 interviews with self-represented litigants about their experiences with prehearings in Dutch small claims procedures. We asked respondents in various ways about procedural justice and trust in judges. We coded whether litigants mentioned spontaneously that they did not have enough information to answer these questions.RESULTSRespondents mentioned procedural fairness perceptions spontaneously when asked directly about fair treatment and when interviewed about specific procedural justice components. Interestingly, almost half of the respondents indicated that they did not have an opinion about at least one procedural justice component. When asked about trust in judges, various respondents also indicated that they did not have an opinion yet.CONCLUSIONSThese results suggest that (a) perceived procedural justice matters to self-represented litigants in civil procedures, and (b) in early stages of court procedures, people may not know whether they perceive a judge as fair or can trust judges and may indicate this spontaneously in interviews.

Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses protocol, 19 original studies with a total of n = 1,075 subjects were analyzed. Five mediating processes were identified: (a) Emotional Processing as approaching, accepting, symbolizing, tolerating, regulating, making meaning of, and utilizing or transforming emotions; (b) Intrapersonal Factors describing factors operating or constructs occurring within the person, such as attitudes, decisions, self-concept, self-esteem, or self-regulation; (c) Interpersonal Factors are elements that shape how individuals engage with each other, including personal characteristics, and communication dynamic; (d) Dissociation that is a defense mechanism in which conflicting impulses are kept apart or threatening ideas and feelings are separated from the rest of the psych; and (e) Social Factors are factors (e.g., attitudes) that affect thought or behavior in social contexts or that affect self-concept vis-à-vis other individuals or groups.

Still, its effect on the psychotherapeutic process, particularly symptomatic change and working alliance, remains unclear. Evaluating studies on the impact of CM on the psychotherapeutic process can help identify research gaps. This study aimed to conduct a scoping review of studies on the psychotherapeutic process in individual psychotherapy of adults with symptoms of depression and anxiety who report CM. The study followed the JBI Scoping Review Methodology. Searches were conducted in October 2022 across eight databases for peer-reviewed articles, books, and gray literature. Eligible studies examined the psychotherapeutic process in individual psychotherapy of adults with depression and/or anxiety who reported CM. A narrative method was employed to analyze and synthesize the studies. A total of 39 studies were included, consisting of 35 scientific articles and four doctoral dissertations. Most were randomized controlled trials evaluating different psychotherapeutic approaches, primarily cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, and psychodynamic therapies. Patients with CM responded to psychotherapies for anxiety and depression, but showed higher symptom levels at both the beginning and end of treatment, along with delayed responses. A strong working alliance was essential for outcomes across different psychotherapeutic approaches. Psychotherapies for anxiety and depression in patients with CM should focus on building a strong working alliance and consider additional time for treatment responses. Future psychotherapy research on people with CM should report on the processes, including the working alliance. More studies assessing personality, anxiety, therapists' perspectives, and employing qualitative methodologies are needed.","PeriodicalId":54211,"journal":{"name":"Trauma Violence & Abuse","volume":"32 1","pages":"15248380251335040"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144087837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To demonstrate the value of logic for contemporary public policymaking, we first provide an accessible explanation of the practical syllogism. Following this we set out our method for testing the value of syllogistic reasoning against an example of real-world public policymaking. Thereafter, we test both the validity and truth of the apparent syllogism.

A comprehensive literature review reveals that the resource curse in Indonesia excerpts a significant impact on the regional level, extending beyond the national boundaries. This dynamic aligns with the decentralization of resource governance following the post-reform regional autonomy policy. Subsequently, the state resorted to a recentralization strategy.

The hierarchical logistic regression model was used in the analysis of the data. According to the results, psychological resilience was the strongest predictor of depression in chronic patients, even when some sociodemographic and disease-related variables were controlled. While gratitude was found to have depression risk-reducing effects, some of this may be related to age. Also, high dependence levels and previous depression diagnosis were determined as important risk factors against depression. Medical social workers may benefit from interventions aimed at increasing psychological resilience and gratitude in the prevention and treatment of depression in patients with chronic diseases.","PeriodicalId":47519,"journal":{"name":"Social Work in Health Care","volume":"33 1","pages":"1-22"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144083362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
