ABSTRACT
PurposeThis study aims to identify knowledge-related tensions in remote work in higher education institutions during the COVID-19 pandemic and increase understanding of how such tensions can be managed.Design/methodology/approachThe research was conducted as an inductive, qualitative study in the field of higher education in Finland. The data were collected using semi-structured interviews of 34 managers in two higher education institutions and analyzed using an inductive and interpretive analysis method.FindingsThe findings demonstrate that the knowledge-related challenges and opportunities during the remote work period of the COVID-19 pandemic in Finnish higher education institutions can be conceptualized as tensions involved in knowledge codification, knowledge silos and creating new knowledge. The study contributes to research by presenting a framework for managing knowledge-related tensions in remote work arrangements to benefit remote and hybrid work in knowledge-intensive organizations.Practical implicationsThis paper increases the understanding of the tensions in remote work arrangements;the results can help managers understand the challenges and opportunities of remote knowledge work concerning their organization and thereby assist them in management and decision-making in complex operational environments.Originality/valueThis study adopted the little-used perspective of tensions to examine knowledge management issues. By examining the various affordances that remote work may allow for knowledge-intensive work and higher education institutions, the study contributes to a deepened understanding of knowledge work in remote contexts, the related tensions and their management.
ABSTRACT
Habermas' (1974) concept of the `public sphere' (offentlichkeit) enabled the bourgeoisie to participate in the process of discussing social issues and making various decisions which were influential in the formation of the laws regulating social life. Same time, it is an important common educational tool. Although the public sphere refers to citizens expressing their idea in a society, the virtual sphere has rapidly moved on to the Internet environment using social media. Within the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has spread to many countries and has been causing serious repercussions as a pandemic. The use of digital technologies has increased significantly during the pandemic, and they have helped transform people's lives. In this context, Discussion of virtual sphere has also gained importance. Codification and personalization types of knowledge strategy will be followed in this study by conceptualizing a framework, which will be designed by understanding the virtual sphere in a society. There is still a literature gap the relationship between public sphere and virtual sphere as well as the lack of understanding for the integration of knowledge strategies (codification and personalization) with virtual sphere 1.0 and 2.0 in the context of tacit and explicit knowledge. The main problematic issue of this study revolves around how two type of knowledge strategies could be used by virtual spheres 1.0 and 2.0. Two propositions which will be expected to contribute to the literature were developed in the study to understand the roles of two types of knowledge strategies in relation to virtual sphere variants regarding the digital society and knowledge society.
ABSTRACT
Objetivo: Para contribuir com o aprofundamento do tema 'empreendedorismo social' em favelas, a pesquisa visa analisar a experiencia do "G10" Favelas. Referencial teórico: Para tanto, considerando o paradigma construtivista, foi empreendida análise temática dedutiva, mediante processo de codificaçao e definiçâo de categorias e metacategorias, com base em sete conteúdos produzidos em plataformas de mídias, documentários, entrevistas e noticiários, recentes e de curta duraçao, previamente identificados, selecionados e transcritos. Método: Após o processo de codificaçâo, com a definiçâo de 43 categorias emergentes, foram atribuidos significados a 10 metacategorias: 'empreendedorismo', 'principio solidario', 'políticas públicas específicas e efetivas', 'alternativas a ausencia do poder público/Estado', '(des)emprego', 'favela e o desenvolvimento', 'favela como potencia', 'favela como carencia', 'fatores do desenvolvimento', 'redes socioeconómicas'. Resultados e conclus&acaron;o: A discussäo sugere que a experiencia do G10 potencializa reconhecimento das práticas empreendedoras, e, ainda, confere credibilidade as potencialidades (e näo carencias), sendo importante desafio para a sociedade e políticas públicas, em funçâo de leituras estereotipadas e estigmatizadoras em relaçâo as favelas e seus moradores. Pesquisas futuras podem empreender esforços em debates sobre a questao racial étnica, genero, LBGTQIA+, dentre outros, que envolvem concepçöes interseccionais em outros horizontes epistemológicos.Alternate :Objective: To contribute to the deepening of the theme 'social entrepreneurship' in slums, the research aims to analyze the experience of the "G10" Favelas. Theoretical framework: Considering the constructivist paradigm, a deductive thematic analysis was carried out, through a process of coding and definition of categories and metacategories, based on seven contents produced in media platforms, documentaries, interviews and news reports, recent and of short duration, previously identified, selected and transcribed. Method: After the coding process, with the definition of 43 emerging categories, meanings were attributed to 10 metacategories: 'entrepreneurship', 'solidarity principle', 'specific and effective public policies', 'alternatives to the absence of public power/State', '(un)employment', 'favela and development', 'favela as power', 'favela as need', 'development factors', 'socioeconomic networks'. Results and Conclusion: The discussion suggests that G10's experience strengthens the recognition of entrepreneurial practices, and, furthermore, gives credibility to potentialities (and not deficiencies), being an important challenge for society and public policies, due to stereotypical and stigmatizing readings regarding favelas and their residents. Future research can undertake efforts in debates on racial-ethnic, gender, LBGTQIA+, among others, which involve intersectional conceptions in other epistemological horizons.

ABSTRACT
In a policy statement issued in October 2020, the American Public Health Association officially declared that structural racism is a public health crisis, and in April 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention followed suit in declaring racism a "serious public health threat. STRUCTURAL RACISM AND MENTAL HEALTH Nowhere is the impact of structural racism more directly relevant than in considering mental health problems, which are filtered directly through the cultural lens of society in ways that can exacerbate its effects. Because they are so highly stigmatized, psychotic disorders are particularly sensitive to "racial and political currents" that underlie the evaluation, diagnosis, and management of these conditions.4 In this issue of AJPH, Misra et al. In my clinical experience, I have witnessed my Black patients who were hospitalized for stabilization during a mental health crisis removed from their second-generation antipsychotic medications and switched to high doses of haloperidol, a firstgeneration antipsychotic medication that was specifically associated (via print advertisements from pharmaceutical companies to prescribers) with images of aggressive and hostile Black men in the 1 960s.5,6 I have directly observed psychiatrists and other mental health providers misinterpret adaptive suspicious behaviors and symptoms of distress in Black patients as paranoid delusions, leading to misdiagnoses of psychotic illness. The structural level of discrimination within the health care system has effectively penetrated all other levels, including institutions (such as the institution of psychiatry) and individuals.5 The history ofthe reconceptualization of schizophrenia from a psychotic illness affecting docile White women who did not meet gendered, patriarchal expectations for their roles in society to an illness centrally defined as one in which Black men were hostile, aggressive, and "delusional" for seeking to assert their civil rights and rejecting notions of White superiority is well documented.5 However, one cannot overstate the impact that this reconceptualization, codified into various editions ofthe Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,11 has had on the modern conceptualization of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. [...]the bias that clinicians bring to their assessment, including misdiagnosis and overdiagnosis, is the foundation for inequities through racialized perceptions ofthe very definitions of what psychosis is and how it presents in different populations.
ABSTRACT
The article is devoted to the study of European quality standards of the law to promote the effectiveness of the work begun in Ukraine on updating the civil legislation. The ability to achieve this goal depends on the quality of the process. Such a process primarily contributes to the assertion of the absolute value of the human person, freedom, democracy, equality, and the priority of man over the state;improving the mechanisms of protection and proper protection of human rights and freedoms, their equality before the law and justice. The latter especially in the context of counteracting the spread of the covid-19 pandemic, which has led the state of Ukraine (as well as other states) to take steps to limit or reduce human rights and, accordingly, is not always compatible with the rule of law. General and special methods of scientific knowledge were used in this study, namely methods: Analysis and synthesis, systems analysis, formal-logical and structural-functional, along with some empirical methods. The practical significance of the study is that the materials summarized in the research and the conclusions reached by the authors are relevant for foreign legislators, regarding bringing national legislation to global trends in private law and its compliance with the rule of law, including the principle of legal certainty and legitimate expectations. Based on the analysis of the European Court of Human Rights (echr) practice and other European Union requirements for the quality of law in Europe, the authors made several conclusions and recommendations on the process of updating the civil legislation of Ukraine. At the same time, the update in its systemic manifestation should concern not only the quality of norms governing certain civil (private) relations, but also the quality of norms regarding acts of the causal interpretation of legal norms, based on the case-law of the echr for national legislation and special requirements.
ABSTRACT
A criminal case is considered the means by which everyone who has empowered himself to violate the law and order and to be exposed to the security, stability, and interests of society, and through it the prosecution of its perpetrator and all who participated in it to impose the appropriate penalty for each of them, and the criminal case is governed by procedural rules in which the authorities determine their powers and the procedures to be followed In investigating and controlling crimes, collecting evidence, prosecuting whoever came to it or whom it was attributed to and adjudicating them, through the stages that the case goes through, and these rules are codified in the Criminal Procedure Law. In addition, the criminal procedures witnessed a qualitative shift in the Kingdom of Bahrain in light of the exceptional circumstances that the countries of the world are experiencing in the outbreak of the emerging coronavirus (Covid-19), and because of these circumstances, the Kingdom of Bahrain has taken precautionary measures to limit the spread of the virus and protect individuals and their interests, and accordingly, the Bahraini legislator amending some provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law, which in turn affected the course of the criminal case, and the most important of these amendments are embodied in the replacement of the traditional method known from the moment the criminal case is initiated, which is to confront the perpetrator face to face, with a modern technological method in which there is a remote confrontation through technologies and devices. Visual and audio within the framework of the implementation of precautionary measures. If this indicates anything, then it indicates the Kingdom's keenness to address such obstacles, which in turn may affect the public interest, but thanks to the integration of modern technologies through virtual innovation, the Kingdom will witness a qualitative leap in the future in dealing with such exceptional circumstances, which in turn it will change the structure of many areas, the most important of which is the legal interface.
ABSTRACT
The Covid-19 pandemic has transformed our society, with administrative procedures - as relationships between public authorities and citizens and businesses - being no exception. Still, the innovative digitalisation of such procedures means the 58 administrative units across Slovenia have been able to develop a responsive administrative system. Using normative, descriptive and statistical research methods, the article identifies the relevant drivers and barriers, like user demands leading to a more responsive service, the lack of legal bases, and the top-down approach discouraging progress. Correlation analysis shows that digitalisation also holds important positive implications for the principles of good governance. Moreover, larger administrative units are more likely to achieve a higher degree of digitalisation and hence better public governance. The findings are useful for designing evidence-based public policies to properly respond to pandemic-associated challenges.
