{"title":"Resilience factors among adults affected by mass conflict: Recommendations for researchers","authors":"Sara Makki Alamdari, C. Bishop, Mahsa Makki Alamdari","doi":"10.36251/josi244","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.36251/josi244","url":null,"abstract":"Resilience refers to the process of adapting to a crisis and bouncing back to life. Studying resilience among war-affected adult refugees and general civilians in post-conflict settings is critical, as it is directly related to their health and social inclusion. Not only is resilience helpful in preventing war-affected individuals from developing dysfunctional coping strategies or mental disorders, but it also helps them in their adaptation and (re)integration in society. The purpose of this review is to examine factors influencing the resilience process among this group. Highlighting the main findings and gaps in the existing literature, this paper provides some researchable questions and methodological recommendations. The authors review the factors across ecological levels of individual, interpersonal/community/organizational, and macro levels. At the individual level, values, beliefs, and meanings given to adversity and resilience are discussed. These cultural meanings demonstrate the strong capability of war-affected individuals. However, application of these findings in practice and research is missing. Another individual level protective factor that is reviewed is coping strategies. These strategies might be affected by the cultural and political climate of the larger society. This needs more examination in future studies. At the interpersonal level, the importance of family and friends, especially for emotional support, is frequently highlighted; however, more studies are needed to investigate social support from communities and organizations. Factors at the macro level are understudied. In a few studies in this area, these factors mainly emerge as risk factors, especially for those conflict-affected populations living in developing countries. That is, the lack of legal recognition and employment opportunities are hindering the process of adaptation after experiencing trauma. The macro level factors influencing resilience need more attention from researchers.","PeriodicalId":42982,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Inclusion","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45833462","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}

These vignettes can be used to gain insight into and reflect on interactions in the neighbourhood between parents and nonparental adults. A correlational design (N = 134) was used to assess the reliability (i.e. internal consistency, test-retest), convergent and discriminant validity and relations with background variables of the V-PIN. Reliability (both internal consistency and test-retest) proved good. Positive, significant correlations provided evidence for convergent validity. The measure did not correlate with non-related constructs or background characteristics, which was an indication for discriminant validity. The newly developed measure seems useful to explore the perspectives of nonparental adults in parent-child interactions in neighbourhoods with a wide group of stakeholders with diverse cultural backgrounds and can (complemented with visualisations), be used to stimulate supportive interactions and inclusion in social work practices and the community.","PeriodicalId":42982,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Inclusion","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48715185","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}

For many, participating in informal food vending is the only option to earn a livelihood. The aim of this study was to describe the conditions of women who live on the margins of society and struggle as informal food vendors. Through purposive sampling, 12 qualitative in depth interviews were conducted with black African women in the Durban central business district. Findings show the majority of participants lack support from their male spouses despite the labour intensive work that they are forced to do. Unorthodox cooking skills are required to prepare meals for customers and efficiency in production and marketing is required as the sales contribute to family livelihoods. Findings highlight the abuse and exploitation these vendors are exposed to by unscrupulous municipal officials and the lack of municipal and organised labour assistance to address their economic marginalisation and social repression. This study highlights the challenges that these women face in the informal economy and their negative perceptions (as ‘foreigners’) of civic organisations in Durban, South Africa.

Sadly, many performers of colour have had personal (in)direct experiences of racism. Sadder yet, there are those who have been discouraged to pursue careers in the performing arts, because of the racism they have experienced. This article analyses a production by women of colour called Hot Brown Honey. Through this show, notions of racism are called to question and safe spaces for performers of colour are created. As two Pacific Island authors, one being the Director/Co-writer/Performer and the other an activist academic, we provide insider access into the Hot Brown Honey family. Through our insider voices, we are able to share our experiences of how this show disrupts racist perceptions, and privileges people of colour and our narratives.

This is despite people with disability agitating for built environment accessibility improvement for many decades. This paper critically reviews global literature to determine what constitutes an accessible and inclusive city and to discover global benchmarks of accessible and inclusive cities. We identified five (composite) domains that an accessible and inclusive city would include: 1.Connectivity (spatial & digital); 2.Economic participation, employment and education; 3.Housing; 4.Community and social infrastructure; and 5. Processes of engagement and inclusion. We also identified a number of global accessible and inclusive city exemplars, including Breda, the Netherlands and Gdynia, Poland. From the global review of exemplars and definitions, domains and indicators, a number of areas of practical action were identified that require multi-entity, multisector collaborations with influential partners addressing all prioritised domains. These actions included: the need to include those with lived experience of disability in the planning and design of environments and services; the need to work across the linked domains of the built form, services, attitudes and economic participation; and the need to revise construction, design, planning and architectural education to foreground the needs and requirements of those with disability.","PeriodicalId":42982,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Inclusion","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41980592","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}

{"title":"Innovation in the Context of Aviation: Industry Collaboration and Value Creation with Start-ups","authors":"Alencar Pereira, Bruno","doi":"10.25904/1912/4596","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.25904/1912/4596","url":null,"abstract":"The aviation sector depends on innovative solutions that have benefited the air travel industry and many other industrial and service organisations. Over the last few decades, challenges faced by this sector accelerated the development and adoption of innovations, primary to create value for sustainability, personalised services, and a safer and more secure environment. Since early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has unprecedentedly affected the global aviation sector. It has brought changes to air passenger travel behaviour, with demand reduced significantly due to border closures and concerns over the spread of the virus. As a result, the aviation industry has been required to adopt innovations and procedures to offer a safer journey, increase efficiencies and improve the passenger’s experience. This unique scenario has presented an opportunity for the sector to redesign practices and assume a more transformational perspective to create or foster solutions to restore trust for travellers and create value for the whole aviation industry production chain. Examples include smart drop-luggage kiosks, inground operations with digital systems supporting staff, data analysis platforms for predictions, technologies reducing queueing from airport touchpoints, and virtual reality systems enabling passengers to have a real vision of their journey and seats before travelling. The new challenges facing the aviation sector stimulate the adoption of innovative strategies in both internal and external contexts, developing integrative partnerships to solve real problems in the ‘new normal’ context. Promising collaborations include strategic alliances with start-ups or ‘air travel techs’. The fast technological development in most industries is increasing the emphasis on start-ups’ role in corporate innovation as a prominent field for theoretical and practical investigations. However, collaborations between the aviation sector and start-ups are a new phenomenon, and the existing studies are still limited. More research is needed in this field, involving theoretical frameworks and empirical cases to analyse how corporatestart- up collaborations happen and how they develop innovations and create value. Moreover, a lack of literature is still noticed when considering the start-up’s perspective on collaborations. These research gaps and lack of understanding of practices involving collaboration and technological advancements provide opportunities to research how this industry creates value by fostering innovations. In addition, understanding the role of collaborations with start-ups can enable the systematisation of the innovation process involving critical factors to enable the outcomes expected when creating value for the aviation industry production chain. Addressing these research opportunities, this research aims to understand innovation in the aviation sector in collaboration with start-ups proposing a conceptual framework for value creation.

Harris","doi":"10.36251/josi.252","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.36251/josi.252","url":null,"abstract":"The helping professions are increasingly using digital technologies like automated decision making, artificial intelligence and video or telehealth to meet the needs of their clients (Carney, 2020; Henman 2019). This trend was accelerated by the pandemic, as we relied more on digital connections and service models to ensure continuity and care during periods of lockdown and in accordance with social distancing guidelines (Meijer, & Webster, 2020). Consultations over real-time video (e.g. Zoom), once the topic of futuristic, speculative fiction have become commonplace, even mundane. Automated, digital solutions are also becoming increasingly commonplace across different human service contexts. For instance, the use of chat bots by Services Australia that use artificial intelligence to understand your questions, and answer them, have been rolled out over recent years as the number of people accessing online support during the pandemic escalated. Even facial recognition technology was trialled in Australia for the first time in a social services context, during the 2020 bushfires, allowing speedy identification and assessment of people in need after their documentation had been destroyed in the fires (Hendry, 2020). The phasing out of cash and rise of digital currencies and service platforms are further evidence that our world is rapidly becoming more digitised. Concordantly, the receipt of care and support is increasingly becoming dependent on access to digital technologies. This presents a new challenge – i.e. digital inclusion. Digital inclusion is about ensuring all can access and use digital technology and services (Australian Digital Inclusion Index, 2021; United Nations, 2021). If we aim to avoid a growing divide based on digital inclusion/exclusion, it is vital that attention to inequalities are at the forefront of our minds if the embrace of all things digital continues unabated (Crawford, 2021). \u0000 \u0000","PeriodicalId":42982,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Inclusion","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46016753","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}

A multi-criteria IZ land-use suitability analysis is conducted first to understand the desirable IZ land features while considering sustainable development objectives. Four criteria are selected, including socioeconomic integration, access to jobs, access to public transport, access to green space, and compliance with zoning rules. Results indicate that relatively low suitability of current IZ. We conclude that the assessed low suitability across different IZ projects is driven by the current market-based affordable housing provision approach, which highly relies on private sectors.

However, there are indications this rights-based support has not eventuated for mothers with intellectual disability, with growing reports of their reduced access to the parenting support to which they are entitled under the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability. Despite the NDIS promise of an equitable disability care system that would seamlessly complement State-funded services, reports from mothers with intellectual disability and their advocates suggest that cost-shifting between the Commonwealth and State Governments has reinforced service silos and opened up service gaps for a group of women who need support from both the disability and family support systems. Moreover, a concerning absence of reliable, transparent data makes it difficult to monitor the wellbeing of families headed by mothers with intellectual disability and also suggests these families are no longer a priority for Australian Governments. In this commentary, we advocate for: i) publicly available data on how the NDIS identifies and addresses the support needs of mothers with intellectual disability; ii) the integration of State and Commonwealth funding mechanisms to enable mothers with intellectual disability to access a parenting supplement linked to their NDIS funding and; iii) the rebuilding of national capacity in evidence-based parenting education and support to mothers with intellectual disability across all Australian service systems.","PeriodicalId":42982,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Inclusion","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49243462","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}

This paper aims to critically appraise the concept of inclusion, to reflect on the essence of what inclusion in society is about, and to translate this essence into user involvement in small-scale, long-term care practices for people with disabilities. Most professionals in care services find user involvement important, and user involvement has shifted expectations and broadened the roles of clients in health care, but real partnerships remain difficult to achieve. In this paper, we try to understand why this is the case and what can be done about it. To this end, we reflect on the mechanisms underlying the difficulties in realising partnerships in everyday care practices and portray two long-term care practices in which the professionals and care users work in partnership. Finally, we draw conclusions about the factors underlying these practices in the context of inclusion.","PeriodicalId":42982,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Inclusion","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43626765","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}
