Toolkit: (1) author's questionnaire consisting of four subscales: negative emotional experience related to welfare certainty , negative emotional experience related to health, negative emotional experience related to personal control over the situation and negative emotional experience related to family relationships (Koychev & Babakova, 2020); (2) an adapted version of the scale for social and emotional loneliness for adults (SELSA-S; DiTommaso et al., 2004) and (3) a scale for optimism and negative expectations (Velichkov & Radoslavova, 2005). Applying linear regression analysis it was found that the negative expectations have the strongest effect on the negative emotional experience related to welfare certainty (β = 0.256; p≤0.001). Health effects are influenced by social loneliness (β = 0.204; p = 0.004) in combination with negative expectations (β = 0.206; p = 0.001). The emotional experience connected with family relations is influenced by the feeling of emotional loneliness (β = 0.312; p = 0.001) combined with negative expectations (β = 0.133; p = 0.023). The female negative expectations reveal to be a good predictor for the negative emotional experience related to personal control over the situation (β = 0.232; p = 0.001). Тhe negative expectations combined with emotional loneliness impose higher influence on the personal control over the situation of women over 35 years(β = 0.607; p = 0.001).","PeriodicalId":170842,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 4th International Conference on Research in Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126164717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Building of Durkheim’s concept of anomie and Goffman’s concept of blasé outlook, the paper attempts to demonstrate that the 21 century metropolis posits similar challenges to identity as ever. Even though the new millennial Sherlock is confronted with the encodings of the digitized metropolis, the seemingly ‘computerized detective’ functions on the same rules of human agency and enters the same paradigm of hubristic behaviour as any classical hero. Sherlock’s and Watson’s cathartic release of emotional blockages compensate for the anomic, alienating effect that the metropolis has on the modern urbanite. Moreover, despite the differences in space or social and communication practices, the famous detective pair has not ceased to solve mystery and crime puzzles. They have adapted to the new reality. As this paper postulates, millennial Sherlock is still an exceptional reasoner who has calibrated his most powerful tool of deduction, his own brain, to the rapid and volatile transformations of the 21 century informational city.","PeriodicalId":170842,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 4th International Conference on Research in Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130922795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To some extent, the trigger is the Sino-US trade war provoked by former U.S. President Donald Trump in March 2018. Due to the profound differences in a political position, cultural concept, and communication habits, the two-state media of China and the U.S.: People's Daily and The New York Times, which play an important role in affecting international public opinion, show different orientations in choosing news materials, reporting strategies and media framework. To analyze these underlying causes, the author compares the selected editorials from the two-state media based on the framing theory in four dimensions — agency, identification, categorization, and generalization, to explore the different report frameworks, framework strategies, and the contributing factors.

The dispute between the centre and the ethnocentric movements in the Northeast during and after the British rule is evident in Nagaland’s historical past. The influence of British colonialism and the advent of Christian missionaries reshaped the Naga cultural identity giving rise to plurality and a state of disorientation. Temsula Ao in her collection of short stories “These Hills Called HomeStories from a War Zone” rises above the stereotypical notion about North-eastern literature and its preoccupation with the ideas of violence, terror, bloodshed and homogeneity. She does it by pining for unanimity amidst disintegration through the Naga historical consciousness vibrating with the essence of myths, storytelling and many more. She wishes to reunite the loss Naga identity through their reliance to their ethnic past. Therefore, the paper would highlight the role of the Naga historical consciousness to redeem them from the ongoing turmoil of terror, violence and identity crisis.","PeriodicalId":170842,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 4th International Conference on Research in Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130593377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

White tailoress activists successfully organized unions and labor organizations in response to meager wages, inhumane work conditions, and labor exploitation. The middle-class benevolent society became sympathetic toward the struggles of the tailoress activists but rather than advocating for the demands of the labor movement, they reinforced white, middle-class ideals of femininity onto the working-class women activists. The discourse was centered around solutions that sought to place the labor activist back into the private sphere, such as finding a husband that could financially support them rather than becoming independent women earning fair wages. In this paper, I conduct a textual analysis on historical documents, such as U.S. based newspapers, to examine how the public reinforced middle-class ideologies of gender and whiteness around the plight and demands of the tailoress activists. I argue that the discourse regarding the tailoress activists reinforces white supremacy and evade any progress toward economic liberation across gender and racial lines. I conclude that middle-class ideologies of gender are usually centered around whiteness, which work to uphold white supremacy and capitalism.","PeriodicalId":170842,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 4th International Conference on Research in Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132208039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to this category, Albanian nouns are classified into masculine, feminine and neuter and their gender affiliation is defined: by the ending sound of the stem, with case endings of the indefinite and definite singular form; syntactically through the agreement features of the dependent elements (determiners, adjectives, pronouns and so on). But there is a large group of singular masculine nouns in Albanian, whose dependent elements have a special agreement: these elements have masculine forms in singular and feminine forms in plural. This group of nouns can be identified by the endings of plural: they are inanimate masculine nouns that have the endings -e and -ra in the plural form of the indefinite nominative case. The phenomenon, which has occasionally attracted the attention of some scholars of Albanian, exists in various Indo-European languages, such as Romanian, Italian, Slovak, Czech, modern Greek, etc., where a certain class of nouns in the singular appear as masculine, in the plural pass to the feminine. The phenomenon of gender shift of some Albanian masculine nouns in plural is relatively old, especially in the Gheg dialect, where it appeared before the Buzuku’s century (XV), although it appeared early even in the Tosk dialect. In the following years it was generalized and in ’80 it was recommended in all normative books of Albanian language.","PeriodicalId":170842,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 4th International Conference on Research in Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132362611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The attempts to fit in and meet the high European standards for social work are putting more and more challenges to social workers, students studying in this field, as well as to higher education related to the social sector. Unfortunately, Bulgaria has a lot to catch up. After the difficult process of deinstitutionalization, the Bulgarian people are still facing the whole diversity of social work and the groups that need it. The purpose of this report is to outline the parameters that are essential to the implementation of three activities, namely mentoring, volunteering, and social work. Mentoring in social work has been talked about relatively recently in Bulgaria. Although it existed earlier, it has not been addressed as such. Pedagogical mentoring is more widespread. Young people in Bulgaria demonstrate readiness and social commitment to activities such as volunteering. It is through it and in it that a form of mentoring takes place. The difficulties facing the social sphere in the last year are enormous due to the serious health crisis facing the whole world. Volunteering and sacrifice have been at the heart of overcoming most of the problems associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Many students studying “social activities” took part in volunteer initiatives that enriched and upgraded their knowledge and skills related to social work. Mentoring is the link between professionals involved in social work and volunteering people. Passing on professional and life experience to those who come after us is one of the most practical and logical human activities in human life.","PeriodicalId":170842,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 4th International Conference on Research in Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124828322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When Shakespeare wrote Macbeth in (1606), witchcraft was a topic of considerable importance. The witches in “Macbeth” had the power to see into the future and create storms whereas the Nepali shamans acted as a visible link to the invisible future. The paper tries to assess the witches as mythological construction and an amalgamation of ancient folkloric elements. One such mythical and folkloric element is their unique art of prophesying. Like the prophecies of the witches the predictions of the shamans are clothed with metaphorical overtones. Besides, a shaman and a witch is affiliated to the mystical world of enchantment as they conjure such mystical forces for strength and power acting as intermediaries between the human and the spirit world. The paper would not only highlight the homogeneity of folklore across cultures but it would also probe into the universality in ideas of the enchanting and superior truths personified by the witches and shamans.","PeriodicalId":170842,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 4th International Conference on Research in Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129540393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
