The problem of political and cultural under-representation of Australia’s vibrant and diverse Jewish constituencies by its governing Jewish organisations is a long-standing and vexing one. There appears to be a chasm between perceptions of how the established Jewish organisations represent their internal diversity and how minority Jewish communities wish to be represented. Formal under-representation of minorities and marginalised groups – of not having their interests statistically represented and included in these bodies regardless of the formal composition of the established bodies – is a critical issue. This thesis aims to establish how Jewish peak and roof bodies, media, and arts organisations currently represent their constituencies’ political and cultural diversity in Sydney and Melbourne. It seeks to explore how minority Jewish constituencies might be better represented within and by their community. The thesis has two research aims. The first is to understand whether diverse minority and marginalised Jewish communities are fairly represented on boards of governing Jewish institutions, and by arts and media organisations. The second aim is to establish how these diverse groups prefer to be represented and to suggest ways to achieve this.

This data book presents selected characteristics by age, disability, race, ethnicity, sex, religion and geographic location. Together, these characteristics showcase a growing and changing state.

This profile focuses on Weber and Davis counties, a multi-county area within the Greater Salt Lake region. While the Greater Salt Lake region accounts for 90.3% of Utah's economy, these two counties account for 13.9% of Utah's economy. While the Greater Salt Lake Region and Utah's other five economic regions are organized by local commuting patterns and other measures of economic connection, analyzing Weber and Davis counties together along county boundaries simply helps decision-makers with stakeholder interests in these two counties to better understand the area's economic and demographic profile. While there is a degree of economic connection between Weber and Davis counties, that is not the motivating force behind their grouping for this profile.

During the turbulent period following the First World War, Dutch photographer Frank Scholten (1881-1942) travelled to Palestine with the aim of producing an ‘illustrated Bible'. He arrived in Palestine in 1921, ultimately staying for two years, documenting Palestine as the British Mandate was formally being established. Contrarily to many other European photographers portraying Orientalist inspirations, Franck Scholten photographed daily life through the various confessional and ethnic communities, social classes, cities and landscapes of Palestine. This book revisits the recently released Scholten photographic collection on Palestine by presenting different Christian communities, their diversity, and the changes they faced, along with Muslim and Jewish populations, in early 1920s Palestine.

Libraries have been accredited as knowledge and power centers, spanning social, economic, and educational divides. In the context of Indian society, libraries are assumed to be helpful in uplifting the weaker sections of the society, particularly Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and Minority Communities (Kalyani, 2021). This is because these marginalized groups are bound to encounter systematic problems, such as deficiencies in quality education, information, and opportunities (Rao, 2020). They are centers for learning and development, literature, and thought that are open to the public with welcome and comradery for all. This source provides a way of accessing works, electronically based information, and training that is suitable for these populations (Nayar, 2019). For instance, the Digital Library program for the Marginalized has indeed helped reach out to tribals and others in far-flung areas. It has increased the availability of educational material in regional languages (Kumar, 2018). Likewise, the specialized library programs in the urban slum and rural areas involving SC and minority communities included skill enhancement, awareness, career, and vocational training (SET) workshops, employment workshops, women’s development, empowerment, and more. This has enhanced literacy levels, employment, and socioeconomic status for the people. Thus, by equalizing access to knowledge and information, libraries significantly transform the social setting by serving the ‘weaker’ sections of society and facilitating the development of the country and society in general (Bhatt, 2022). This abstract intends to focus on Libraries and their role in uplifting such sections of society in India, particularly concerning literacy, online access, and social justice. The full paper will provide more details on these themes as it will describe some of the ongoing practices in detail, examine current efforts, and provide strategic suggestions to enhance libraries impacting

This study delves into Iran's political landscape, analysing personal branding dynamics and the influence of minority affiliations. Utilising scholarly perspectives, government policies, ethnographic materials, and surveys from Iranians in-country and abroad, it explores how individuals strategically communicate minority connections in their political and social personal brands.

This final report documents the activities conducted during this grant. The original intent of the grant was to organize and hold a student leadership summit associated with the Missouri Valley District of the Institute of Transportation Engineers. In the event, the COVID pandemic restrictions put in place by many universities from 2020 to 2022 required a change in how these plans were implemented. As students at many universities remained unable to travel to official functions due to social distancing restrictions held in place by many universities across the country, it was decided to instead send transportation students from the University of Kansas to transportation-oriented conferences to expand their knowledge of current technical topics.

This research article explores the role and vision of Mr. Jinnah, the founding father of Pakistan, in shaping the relationship between the nation and its diverse minority communities. This study is to examine the impact of Mr. Jinnah's leadership on minority communities during the partition and in the early years of Pakistan. It also explores his efforts to promote religious harmony and minority rights. Mr. Jinnah's leadership and his commitment to creating a democratic and inclusive Pakistan provide valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with nation-building, religious and cultural pluralism, and the protection of minority rights. This study examines the historical context, Jinnah's political philosophy, and the measures he took to safeguard the rights and well-being of religious minorities in Pakistan.

Background: Environmental noise has detrimental effects on various health outcomes. Although disparities in some environmental exposures (e.g., air pollution) are well-documented, there is still a limited and uncertain understanding of the extent to which specific populations are disproportionately burdened by noise. Aim: To assess whether environmental noise levels are associated with demographic and socioeconomic neighborhood compositions. Methods: We cross-sectionally examined long-term noise levels for 9,372 neighborhoods in the Netherlands. We linked these noise levels with administrative data on neighborhood characteristics for the year 2021. Linear and non-linear spatial regression models were fitted to explore the associations between noise, demographic, and socioeconomic neighborhood characteristics. Results: Our results showed that 46 % of the neighborhoods exhibited noise levels surpassing the recommended threshold of 53 dB to prevent adverse health effects. The regressions uncovered positive and partially non-linear neighborhood-level associations between noise and non-Western migrants, employment rates, low-incomers, and address density. Conversely, we found negative associations with higher-educated neighborhoods and those with a greater proportion of younger residents. Neighborhoods with older populations displayed a U-shaped association. Conclusions: This national study showed an inequality in the noise burden, adversely affecting vulnerable, marginalized, and less privileged neighborhoods. Addressing the uneven distribution of noise and its root causes is an urgent policy imperative for sustainable Dutch cities.

The aim of this paper is to advance psychological theory and research on attitudes and behavior towards low status minority groups by discussing group-level indispensability as an important yet largely unexplored factor in intergroup dynamics. Drawing on theory and international research from psychology and the social sciences, the distinction between functional indispensability and identity indispensability is first discussed. Subsequently various positive intergroup implications of perceived indispensability are considered, and for giving a balanced account possible negative outcomes are also discussed. Then, the minority perspective is considered and the question of when positive or negative intergroup implications of perceived indispensability are less or more likely. The paper concludes with future directions for theoretical and empirical development of the notion of group-level indispensability and its intergroup consequences in a range of settings and contexts.

En aquest treball de recerca s’analitza la representació de les minories, la diversitat i el gènere al cinema espanyol del segle xxi a partir d’una anàlisi de contingut feta sobre 129 pel·lícules i més de 3.000 personatges. Per fer aquesta anàlisi, s’ha utilitzat un llibre de codis prèviament validat, centrats a avaluar el gènere, l’orientació sexual, l’edat, la nacionalitat i la diversitat funcional. Les dades comproven que els personatges pertanyents a grups minoritaris estan infrarepresentats i que hi ha un percentatge més alt de personatges masculins que femenins. Els personatges minoritaris tendeixen, però, a tenir un pes narratiu lleugerament superior. Tot i això, aquestes observacions difereixen segons el gènere de la persona que ha dirigit la pel·lícula i la data d’estrena, de manera que les dones directores i les obres més recents tendeixen a donar més pes a personatges no majoritaris., This research study analyzes the representation of minorities, diversity and gender in Spanish cinema of the 21st century based on a content analysis carried out on 129 films and more than 3,000 characters. To carry out this analysis, we used a previously validated code book focused on evaluating gender, sexual orientation, age, nationality and functional diversity. The data prove that characters belonging to minority groups are underrepresented and that there is a higher percentage of male than female characters. Minority characters, however, tend to have a slightly higher narrative weight. These observations differ according to the gender of the person who has directed the film and the release date, with women directors and more recent works tending to give more weight to non-majority characters., En este trabajo de investigación se analiza la representación de las minorías, la diversidad y el género en el cine español del siglo xxi a partir de un análisis de contenido realizado sobre 129 películas y más de 3.000 personajes.

Los datos comprueban que los personajes pertenecientes a grupos minoritarios están infrarrepresentados y que hay un mayor porcentaje de personajes masculinos que femeninos. Los personajes minoritarios tienden, sin embargo, a tener un peso narrativo ligeramente superior. Estas observaciones difieren según el género de la persona que ha dirigido la película y la fecha de estreno, de manera que las mujeres directoras y las obras más recientes tienden a dar más peso a personajes no mayoritarios.

Anatolia at the end of the Ottoman Empire constituted a veritable melting pot of violently uprooted peoples from Eurasia, the Balkans, Levant, and the larger Middle East. Due to wars since the early decades of the 19th century, Anatolia became the destination point for millions of refugees, at times steered to the relatively safe confines of the Empire’s geographic core. Importantly, this relocation of refugees took place while these same state institutions busily expelled Armenian, Pontic Greek, and Kurdish others. The resulting mélange of humanity crossing different paths invariably informed several state-building programs during the late Ottoman and then post-Ottoman periods. The struggle to build a new society out of the rubble of the Ottoman Empire has received attention from the Turkish academy. Heralding the process as a success story equivalent to nation-building campaigns in Europe and North America, Turkish scholars and many Euro-American apologists of the Kemalism to which the process was first linked regularly pointed to Turkey’s resulting modernization. Rarely was this process considered in rural Anatolia, however, details Dr. Sezer offers in her short book. Sadly, it is difficult to dissociate Sezer’s work from the laudatory narratives customized by Turkish state-funded universities since the 1930s. As Sezer accesses rarely studied archival material on the heavy investment in settlement and economic development of Anatolia’s vast rural areas, she ends up offering a disappointing listing the delivery of “development” without a corresponding linking to a violence unlikely to formally register in official documents. This is perhaps because Sezer fails to engage a scholarship that foregrounds the violence accompanying modern state building in general and the unique conditions that required Turkey’s vulnerable state to specifically use force to realize a political elite’s goals. In Sezer’s hands, Ankara’s political masters’ building, through nationalism

No studies have been published on the Swedish Armed Forces´ (SAF) diversity regarding minorities with a foreign national background. The purpose of this pilot study is therefore to start the field by looking at how the SAF, or similar organisations, can work with diversity management effectively. This is done through seven interviews with the organisation´s employees, as well as interviewing ten persons in Sweden which are part of minority-groups with a foreign national background. Avery & McKay´s (2006) theory about attracting diversity was used as basis for the interview questions, especially regarding which recruitment tactics to use when attracting minorities. The results indicate that SAF are employing the correct tactics but that the lack of clear, definable, and measurable goals for the organisation impedes the effort. As well, SAF´s focus on diversity has so far mainly included gender equality which has led to a diminishing effort towards other diversity-dimensions. However, there is a great will in the organisation to improve the work towards the other dimensions. Also, even though the SAF is employing the correct tactics, the interviews with the respondents show that some tactics might be more necessary than others. Going forth, top priority should be targeted information through personal meetings in certain areas and locations which contain a higher concentration of minorities.

L’ofici d’historiador de Ramon d’Abadal i de Vinyals, que comença en la segona dècada del segle xx i s’allarga prop de seixanta anys, està molt condicionat per la seva posició política i ideològica, una gran capacitat tècnica, erudita i intel·lectual, i un sentit de pertinença nacional i social molt marcat. Aquest text ressegueix la seva biografia personal i intel·lectual per indicar els principals trets de com va interpretar i plantejar la història del país des d’una posició personal molt singular: el valor de les minories socials com a element director de la història col·lectiva., The role of historian of Ramon d’Abadal i de Vinyals, which begins in the second decade of the 20th century and extends for close to sixty years, is greatly conditioned by his political-ideological position, a great technical, erudite and intellectual capacity, and a very marked sense of national and social belonging. This text retraces his personal and intellectual biography to explain the main traits of how he interpreted and posed the history of the country from a very singular personal position: the value of social minorities as a leading element of the collective history.

Some theorists have traditionally argued that judicial review of legislation is legitimate because it protects the rights of minorities and marginalized groups against the faulty or malicious decisions of majorities. In this article, I argue that the ability of judges to protect minorities can only justify judicial review when specific normative and factual assumptions are met. Those assumptions include the existence of factors that increase the commitment of judges to minority rights, the malfunction of the majority decision-making process, and the little or no impact of judicial review on the capacity of the legislature to protect rights. As these conditions can be met only contingently and their empirical verification is often difficult, I conclude that the minority protection argument provides a limited and contextual justification for judicial review of legislation., Un sector influyente de la teoría constitucional ha sostenido tradicionalmente que el control judicial de la ley es legítimo porque protege los derechos de las minorías y grupos marginados contra las decisiones defectuosas o malintencionadas de las mayorías. En este artículo sostengo que en realidad la capacidad de los jueces para proteger a las minorías solo puede justificar el control judicial de la ley cuando se cumplen supuestos normativos y fácticos específicos. Esos supuestos incluyen la existencia de factores que incrementan el compromiso de los jueces con los derechos de las minorías, el peso relativamente bajo de la objeción democrática, y la poca o nula incidencia del control judicial en la capacidad del legislativo para proteger derechos. Como estas condiciones pueden cumplirse solo de manera contingente y su verificación es a menudo compleja, concluyo que el argumento de la protección de las minorías proporciona una justificación limitada y contextual al control judicial de la ley.

Language planners are increasingly aware of the importance of new speakers (individuals acquiring a language outside the home, typically later-on in life) for the revitalisation of minority languages. Yet, little is known about new speakers’ activation (the process by which they become active and habitual minority language users). This article presents a questionnaire-based investigation of new speakers’ (n = 264) use of West Frisian in Fryslân, Netherlands—and the role traditional speakers play in new speakers’ activation. Qualitative and quantitative data show that participants use West Frisian only rarely; and when they do use it, it is mainly in the classroom. Minority language interactions outside the classroom, with traditional speakers, consist mostly of a few tokenistic words or phrases. The findings show to what extent different behaviours by traditional speakers discourage and/or encourage new speakers’ minority language use, highlighting how the complex dynamics between the speaker groups are hindering revitalisation efforts. The article discusses the implications of these findings for language planning to promote the activation of new speakers, and thereby the revitalisation of West Frisian.

524 p., La presente investigación doctoral quiere explorar metodologías y propuestas que puedan resultar útiles para las futuras intervenciones sociales e institucionales para combatir la islamofobia en el País Vasco. En concreto, se han llevado a cabo tres estudios empíricos diferentes. En el primer estudio, a través de una encuesta poblacional, analizada con el programa estadístico SPSS, se describen las creencias, emociones y actitudes que la sociedad vasca tiene hacia la religión islámica y el colectivo musulmán, explorando que factores influyen en el aumento o reducción de esta discriminación social, e identificando que variables predicen estas actitudes. El segundo estudio, de tipo cualitativo, analiza 1508 artículos, noticias y entrevistas de la prensa vasca (El Correo, Diario Vasco, Diario de noticias de Álava, Diario de noticias de Gipuzkoa, Deia, Gara y Berria), publicados entre 2015 y 2020. Para realizar el análisis de contenido se ha utilizado el programa Iramuteq. El objetivo del estudio es explorar la representación que la prensa vasca hace sobre el islam y las personas musulmanas, y analizar las practicas periodísticas en función del periódico, la fuente, la autoría y la evolución temporal. Finalmente, el tercer estudio de tipo cualitativo, examina las acciones islamófobas del País Vasco, y las respuestas que se han articulado desde las instituciones sociales y el tercer sector. Este estudio permite identificar las carencias de estas medidas, y los aspectos a mejorar, permitiendo realizar sugerencias para futuras intervenciones. La información recopilada en cada estudio ha servido para realizar sugerencias y proponer una serie de medidas para combatir la islamofobia en el País Vasco.

In 2022, the EHDI program performed a study to find which populations in Utah did not meet the national EHDI 1-3-6 guidelines. These guidelines are defined as follows: 1—screening all infants for hearing loss no later than 1 month of age; 3—make sure those who failed their hearing screen receive a diagnostic audiologic evaluation no later than 3 months of age; and 6—enroll infants diagnosed with hearing loss in early intervention services no later than 6 months of age. This publication also includes: 1) Spotlights: Traumatic Brain Injury in Utah; and 2) Monthly Health Indicators Report.

Mothers and infants in one or more racial and ethnic minority population(s) have worse health outcomes in many key areas. This publication also includes: 1) Spotlights: Maternal Resource Guide; 2) Spotlights: WIC Cash Value Benefit, Fruit and Vegetable Purchases; and 3) Monthly Health Indicators Report.

This report summarizes the findings from the Utah Prevention Needs Assessment Survey that is conducted as part of the Student Health and Risk Prevention (SHARP) Statewide Survey. The survey is administered every two years, to students in grades 6, 8, 10, and 12 in most public and certain charter school districts across Utah. The survey was designed to assess adolescent substance use, anti-social behavior, and the risk and protective factors that predict these adolescent problem behaviors.

For more than three decades, after the adoption of the Declaration on the Rights of Minorities, approved by consensus in 1992, by the Member States, a new melting pot of debates and decisions has undoubtedly been taking shape, which cannot be ignored overlooked around the defense of minority rights, particularly with regard to gender stereotypes. In response to what has been expressed, the objective of this work is to reflect on the rights of minorities, focusing attention in a particular way on what concerns gender stereotypes in Peru. The methodology used to achieve this purpose was supported by documentary research, access to the sources was carried out online, thus, it was consulted on various digital pages of international and national organizations, universities, and others, which allowed the formation of of the reflective text. In Peru, in order to guarantee due respect for the dignity and value of people, with the understanding that nothing that happens in human life is unrelated to a legal assessment, the precepts and scope of the international framework conventions are attached to In this matter, as well as in the internal environment, the constitutional text expressly states that no one should be discriminated against for reasons of origin, race, sex, language, religion, or others, likewise, in matters of gender as a form of prevent, punish and eradicate violence against women, there are normative instruments (laws, regulations, others) that fully embrace the mandate of the magna carta, because when speaking in terms of respecting and guaranteeing the rights of women, we were speaking of including in the ideas, in the language and the actions the guarantees of these prerogatives. This is what justifies, in part, the fact that the protection of women's rights is a priority for the international and national community., Desde hace más de tres décadas, tras la adopción de la Declaración sobre los Derechos de las Minorías, aprobada por consenso en 1992, por parte de los Estados miembros, se está constituyendo sin duda un nuevo crisol de debates y decisiones, que no pueden pasarse por alto en torno a la defensa de los derechos de las minorías, particularmente en lo concerniente a los estereotipos de género. En atención a lo expresado, el objetivo, de este trabajo es reflexionar sobre los derechos de las minorías, centrando la atención de modo particular en lo concerniente a los estereotipos de género en Perú.

En el Perú para garantizar el debido respeto a la dignidad y valor de las personas, en el entendido de que nada de lo que ocurre en la vida humana es ajeno a una valoración jurídica, se adscriben los preceptos y alcances de los convenios marcos internacionales en esta materia, a la par que en el entorno interno, en el texto constitucional expresamente se indica que nadie debe ser discriminado por motivo de origen, raza, sexo, idioma, religión, u otras, así mismo, en cuestiones de género como forma de prevenir, sancionar y erradicar la violencia contra las mujeres, se cuentan con instrumentos normativos (leyes, reglamentos, otros) que acogen plenamente el mandato de la carta magna, pues cuando se habla en términos de respetar y garantizar los derechos de las mujeres, estábamos hablando de incluir en las ideas, en el lenguaje y las acciones las garantías de estas prerrogativas. Eso es lo que justifica, en parte, que la protección de los derechos de la mujer sea una prioridad de la comunidad internacional y nacional.

The aim of this article is to analyze the community social structure of two councils of the region of Avila at the end of the 15th century. The study of taxpayer’s registers from Bonilla de la ierra and Olmedos ́s will allow us to verify that the differentiation process does not occur in a homogeneous way, even in two councils of the same region. Furthermore, we verify the phenomenon of differentiation is not exclusive to the rural world. Finally, we identify some of the characteristics of the village ́s upper strata. The privileged patrimonial situation is accompanied and reinforced by the fulfillment of political and management tasks in the community., El objetivo del presente artículo es realizar un estudio de la estructura social comunitaria de dos concejos de la región abulense, Bonilla de la Sierra y Olmedo, a finales del siglo XV. El análisis de los padrones fiscales nos permitirá constatar que el fenómeno de la diferenciación social no se da de manera homogénea ni aún en dos concejos de la misma región. Asimismo, comprobaremos que la jerarquización no es exclusiva del mundo rural; en las villas, las diferencias sociales son incluso más importantes. Por último, buscaremos identificar algunas de las características de los segmentos superiores comunitarios. La holgada situación patrimonial se acompaña y refuerza con el cumplimiento de tareas políticas y de gestión en la comunidad.

Although the population of Finland has always been culturally and linguistically diverse, history education in Finland has nonetheless long excluded the history of its minorities and its colonial past. Instead, history education has portrayed Finland as a historically homogeneous nation-state. This article examines the representation of minorities in Finland and the portrayal of colonialism in 18 history textbooks used in Finnish basic education, written in both Finnish and Swedish. It uses discourse analysis to investigate how the selected history textbooks discuss minorities and colonialism within their texts. The study finds that there are significant differences between textbooks written in Finnish and Swedish, the latter including more information of, and critical perspectives on, minorities and colonialism. Nonetheless, many minority groups remain invisible in all the analysed textbooks. Finally, the textbooks, for their part, mainly associate colonialism with overseas activities and do not delve into Nordic colonialism in Sápmi.

Anti-Fascism and Ethnic Minorities explores how, and to what extent, fascist ultranationalism elicited an anti-fascist response among ethnic minority communities in Eastern and Central Europe.The edited volume analyses how identities related to class, ethnicity, gender and political ideologies were negotiated within and between minorities through confrontations with domestic and international fascism. By developing and expanding the study of Jewish anti-fascism and resistance to other minority responses, the book opens the field of anti-fascism studies for a broader comparative approach. The volume is thematically located in Central and Eastern Europe, cutting right across the continent from Finland in the North to Albania in the Southeast. The case studies in the 14 research chapters are divided into five thematic sections, dealing with the issues of (1) minorities in borderlands and cross-border anti-fascism, (2) minorities navigating the ideological squeeze between communism and fascism, (3) the role of intellectuals in the defence of minority rights, (4) the anti-fascist resistance against fascist and Nazi occupation during World War II, and (5) the conflictual role ascribed to ethnicity in post-war memory politics and com-memorations. The editors describe their intersectional approach to the analysis ofethnicity as a crucial category of analysis with regard to anti-fascist histories andmemories.The book offers scholars and students valuable historical and comparative per-spectives on minority studies, Jewish studies, borderland studies, and memory studies. It will appeal to those with an interest in the history of race and racism, fascism and anti-fascism, and Central and Eastern Europe.

Although the population of Finland has always been culturally and linguistically diverse, history education in Finland has nonetheless long excluded the history of its minorities and its colonial past. Instead, history education has portrayed Finland as a historically homogeneous nation-state. This article examines the representation of minorities in Finland and the portrayal of colonialism in 18 history textbooks used in Finnish basic education, written in both Finnish and Swedish. It uses discourse analysis to investigate how the selected history textbooks discuss minorities and colonialism within their texts. The study finds that there are significant differences between textbooks written in Finnish and Swedish, the latter including more information of, and critical perspectives on, minorities and colonialism. Nonetheless, many minority groups remain invisible in all the analysed textbooks. Finally, the textbooks, for their part, mainly associate colonialism with overseas activities and do not delve into Nordic colonialism in Sápmi.

This thesis aims to understand the challenges that are encountered in the prosecution of police officers, and how they influence socio-legal issues. The paper will focus on German law enforcement and cases involving human rights violations. Using a qualitative legal research approach and legal sources, it will aim uncover the systematic and legal issues that stand in the way of police prosecution. The research concludes that the systemic issues cause for unjust trials and the disregard of human rights in the justice system.

The Republic of Turkey was born on 29 October 1923 as the final outcome of a very troubled historical process. The Muslims of Anatolia and Eastern Thrace had faced the risk of disintegration and submission. The father and leader of the “new Turkey”, Mustafa Kemal, felt the plurality that had characterized the Ottoman world as a source of weakness and danger. In these nearly 100 years Republican Turkey has scored many admirable accomplishments, but her genesis left a permanent imprint in the political and social development of the country. Thus, the Turkish State has perpetuated a suspicious and repressive attitude towards the particular identities. This book, stemmed from a conference held in November 2021, presents two introductive papers and six specific contributions where the issues of education and public discourse are among the main topics.

This report summarizes the findings from the Utah Prevention Needs Assessment Survey that is conducted as part of the Student Health and Risk Prevention (SHARP) Statewide Survey. The survey is administered every two years, to students in grades 6, 8, 10, and 12 in most public and certain charter school districts across Utah. The survey was designed to assess adolescent substance use, anti-social behavior, and the risk and protective factors that predict these adolescent problem behaviors.

Federally recognized tribes are acknowledged by the U.S. government as sovereign entities by the U.S. constitution, treaties, legislation, executive orders and supreme court decisions. This sovereign status allows tribes to engage with federal and state partners on a government-to-government basis. Utah acknowledges this unique relationship with the 8 tribal nations located within its borders in both statute and executive order. Together the state and tribes seek to improve the health status of the American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) population in Utah.

The purpose of this report is to address the issue of tribal disparities being obscured in the Health Improvement Index (HII) by approximating HII scores for American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations on tribal lands. This will allow for the direct comparison of tribal reservations with Utah small areas.

in english In this master thesis we explore the lived experiences of nine female and gender minoritized DJs in the Copenhagen DJ-scene. By conducting semi-structured interviews exploring a wide variety of conditions and aspects of their work and passions, and focusing on their unique situated perspectives and knowledges, we investigate how the working conditions and structures of the DJ-industry affect female and gender minoritized DJs, and the ways in which their social categories, i.e. their gender, ethnicity and racial appearance, affect the ways they are met and perceived within the industry. We discuss their experiences by applying several theoretical concepts from race- and gender studies, i.a. intersectionality, minority taxation and othering-mechanisms. Our study shows that the female and gender minoritized DJs experience manifold complex ways of being othered, embodied, positioned and made visible by the industry and its agents because of their gender and social categories, which i.a. is a result of a general underrepresentation of female and gender minoritized DJs within the industry. These aspects limit the female and gender minoritized DJs in their activities by holding them back in their careers in multiple ways. Combined with the fact that DJs often work nights in party cultures where people often are intoxicated, these conditions create an unsafe work environment, which results in the DJs making detailed security measures for themselves. We identify several potentials for change within the industry. A deeper awareness of the limiting and biased structures combined with a more communicative praxis when presenting and welcoming DJs, i.e. informing staff and guests about the particularities of the DJs’ artistic style, pronouns and other aspects, could potentially prevent discrimination and misunderstandings and make being in the field a better and less discriminating experience for the DJs. Overall, the thesis shows that there is an overarch
