Focusing on Nigerian immigrants in the US, we draw on the Stereotype Content Model to assess perceptions of warmth and competence, alongside established prejudice measures (social distance and feeling thermometer). A total of 516 US citizens completed an online, between-subjects experiment in one of four conditions: (1) Control (no information), (2) Between-Country (emphasizing Nigeria’s economic disadvantages relative to the US), (3) Within-Country (highlighting Nigerian immigrants’ socioeconomic success within the US), or (4) Combined (providing both sets of information). Participants exposed to Nigeria’s lower economic standing reported higher prejudice and rated Nigerian immigrants as lower in warmth and competence. Conversely, information about Nigerian immigrants’ strong socioeconomic position in the US led to more favorable views, mitigating the negative effects of the between-country frame. These findings underscore how specific informational contexts significantly shape both stereotypes and prejudice, offering practical avenues for reducing intergroup bias. We situate these results within cross-categorization theories and emergent attribute perspectives, showing that global and local status cues jointly shape societal perceptions of immigrant groups.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48216,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Intercultural Relations","volume":"108 ","pages":"Article 102261"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144704505","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}

Coastal communities, heavily reliant on marine and coastal resources, face challenges from climate change, environmental degradation, and socioeconomic inequalities. Natural gas investments have introduced opportunities for poverty alleviation, income generation, and infrastructure improvement. However, these developments also present risks such as uneven benefit distribution, environmental degradation, and over-reliance on extractive revenues. The study employs a resilience framework to investigate the impact of natural gas development on community welfare and adaptive capacity. It employed a convergent parallel mixed-methods design, which simultaneously enabled the collection and analysis of qualitative and quantitative data. The mixed-methods approach integrated qualitative techniques (key informant interviews, focus group discussions, and transect walks) with quantitative data collection through a household questionnaire survey. The data were analysed using MS Excel and SPSS to obtain descriptive and inferential statistics for quantitative analysis. The study analysed qualitative data thematically to identify key patterns, relationships, and factors related to governance, resilience, and climate change. Findings reveal positive impacts, including job creation, reduced energy costs, and improved electricity access, alongside challenges like income disparities and resistance to implementation. Communities adopt response strategies such as alternative income-generating activities and environmental conservation to mitigate these challenges. The study emphasises the importance of implementing inclusive policies, capacity-building initiatives, and sustainable practices that strike a balance between economic benefits and environmental and social considerations. Continuous monitoring and stakeholder collaboration are crucial for addressing emerging challenges and ensuring equitable distribution of benefits. The study concludes that sustainable natural gas development can enhance the welfare and resilience of coastal communities, provided it integrates environmental conservation, community empowerment, and adaptive management strategies. Thus, it recommends policymakers and stakeholders to prioritise long-term sustainability over short-term gains that can harness the potential of natural gas investments to support resilient sociological systems in the face of climate change.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48427,"journal":{"name":"Marine Policy","volume":"181 ","pages":"Article 106855"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144713524","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 study examines how internal resources, sustainable practices, and public policies—specifically credit and technical assistance—influence productivity in Brazilian family farming, grounded in the Resource-Based View (RBV), Stakeholder Theory, and Contingency Theory. Using regression models applied to agricultural census data, four hypotheses regarding the interaction of these factors were tested. Results indicate that internal resources, such as land ownership and higher education levels, positively affect productivity, while sustainable practices like organic fertilization and forest planting provide benefits but reveal trade-offs, such as challenges in the absence of pesticides. The National Program for Strengthening Family Farming (PRONAF) consistently promoted productive and conservationist practices, whereas rural extension services (ATER) exhibited limitations, particularly in areas requiring greater technical specialization. The interaction between public policies and internal resources proved essential for maximizing productive efficiency. The study concludes that integrated public policies combining agricultural credit and specialized technical assistance are vital for aligning productivity and sustainability. This research connects established theories with agricultural practices, offering recommendations for public policy improvement and future directions to strengthen family farming.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rural Studies","volume":"119 ","pages":"Article 103811"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144704503","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}

While a handful of previous studies have systematically analysed how regime type influences cabinet reshuffles in African autocracies, the gender dynamics of cabinet survival and replacement in the region remain underexplored. Using a cross-national dataset of 3,829 ministerial appointments from 1990 to 2021, I model the impact of individual-level factors on survival probabilities and cabinet shuffles. The findings reveal that women serve shorter tenures than men, even in high-prestige portfolios, but survival probabilities are not statistically related to gender when controlling for age, credentials, and political and socioeconomic factors. However, when cabinets are shuffled, women are significantly more likely than men to be succeeded by someone of the other gender. This study contributes to research on gender and cabinet politics by showing that, beyond political and socio-economic variables, individual-level factors significantly shape cabinet survival and shuffles in Africa.","PeriodicalId":7508,"journal":{"name":"African Affairs","volume":"144 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144712335","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 operationalize the framework at the regional level, we recommend building Indigenous representation and capacity by adopting Indigenous governance systems, legal principles and values based on the concepts such as the <em>mino pimatisiwin</em>.

A JG, in its canonical form, offers employment to anyone willing and able to work. Despite renewed academic interest, the normative foundations and economic viability of this policy remain underdeveloped. This paper contributes to addressing these gaps in two ways. First, by defining the type of job a JG must provide, it reconstructs the ethical dimension of dignified work by identifying the criteria that distinguish it from precarious employment. We argue for a moralised minimal threshold: at a minimum, a dignified job must secure freedom from domination through a guaranteed wage and stable employment, and ideally foster reciprocity and self-realisation. Second, the paper evaluates the feasibility and potential impact of implementing a JG in Uruguay—a country with a relatively robust social security system compared to other Latin American nations, yet where 25% of the working population do not contribute to social security. Using microsimulations, we show that a well-designed JG could increase formal employment, reduce poverty, and improve income distribution.

Drawing on sociological theories of performativity, we analyze 205 AI projects funded by Chile’s key public agencies, related to research, entrepreneurship, and creation, over the past decade. Through content analysis combined with a qualitative, heuristic procedure, we characterize five dominant narratives across state-funded AI projects, seeking to interpret the social meanings embedded within their descriptions considering their situated context. This method informs the articulation of five narratives: AI for productivity gains, as a transformative force, as a literacy need, for smart surveillance, and as situated and creative inquiry. Our findings reveal that AI for productivity gains has strongly dominated over the last decade. We argue that this narrative functions as a strategic mechanism for aligning legacy institutional interests with those of the actors seeking funding. By framing public funding as performative, this paper contributes to debates on how state-led narratives help shape technological development’s trajectory. It also emphasizes the interconnectedness of actors, political economy, and socio-technical dynamics concerning AI’s future.","PeriodicalId":49509,"journal":{"name":"Social Science Computer Review","volume":"75 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144712163","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}
