The most common motif in early twentieth century radical literature is the conversion narrative. A variation on the bildungsroman, these works feature conversions to socialism or to the labor movement that are modeled on techniques used by evangelical revivalists and on the experiences of religious converts. The most widely read and emblematic radical authors to consistently employ this trope were Jack London and Upton Sinclair. Not only did London and Sinclair continually utilize the conversion story in their fiction and nonfiction, they both described their own discovery of socialism as a religious conversion. In their work, both authors diligently seek to conflate Christianity and socialism and to prove that, not only are the two compatible, but that authentic observance of Christianity demands the endorsement of socialism. London and Sinclair use their writing as a method of evangelism that aims to convince their audience that socialism is a religious enterprise and means to salvation.

This essay elucidates how Enrique Dussel combines elements of Levinas's ethics, Marxism, and Latin American liberation theology in the development of his practical political philosophy.

The essay also examines Dussel's arguments concerning the shortcomings of Levinas and Marx and the concepts he creates to overcome those deficiencies.

Escalating attrition rates among all sectors of employment negatively impacts the efficiency of education systems globally. This dilemma has impacted special education for decades. The departure of special educators leaves public education systems devoid of quality educators. Understanding the influence of job satisfaction upon employee retention plays a vital role in developing effective teacher retention initiatives. The purpose of this qualitative study, which consisted of 12 participants, was to determine the influencing factors of Bahamian special educators’ withdrawal from the educational system. Job Satisfaction and Social Cognitive Career Theory grounded this study and emphasized the influence of educators’ experiences upon their career decisions. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews, focus group, and analyzed through open coding. Findings revealed that Bahamian special educators withdraw from special education because of critical factors (a) lack of support, (b) inadequate training, and (c) burnout, resulting in poor job satisfaction.

Purpose: This paper reviews and integrates the literature on the stigma associated with opioid use disorder (OUD) and how this acts as a barrier for patients seeking Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT). Implications for patients in rural areas who face stigma for opioid use disorder are reviewed. Methods: We examine the extant literature since 2007, reviewing studies focused on the stigma against patients suffering from OUD and MAT. Findings: The review identifies five categories of sources of stigma that research has addressed: Stigma against the patient; stigma by nurses; stigma by primary care physicians; stigma from counselors; stigma by pharmacy and dispensary staff; stigma against MAT by drug courts, stigma by family members, coworkers, and employers. Conclusions: Stigma exists as prejudice, negative stereotypes and associations, and labels. Despite widespread evidence supporting Methadone Maintenance Therapy (MMT) and Buprenorphine Maintenance Therapy (BMT) effectiveness, stigma abounds within the medical community and society at large. Discriminatory practices, poor relationships with dispensing staff, pharmacists, counselors, and doctors, and a feeling of being separate or “alien” from others are cited as barriers to involvement and participation in MAT. This has created disparities in health care outcomes as well as the access and availability of MAT services. Rural patients experience these sources of stigma and face a heightened barrier to access for MAT services. However, the primary care setting along with delivery of care through primary care physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners offers a means to increase care in rural areas.

This paper explains and examines the case of Mongolian civil society role by focusing on the issue of how and to what extent civil society organizations influenced on the current redistributive policy making in Mongolia. To explain this issue, the outside initiative model proposed by Cobb, Ross and Ross (1976) helps us to understand the influence of civil society organizations on policymakers and redistributive policy making. For the analysis, process tracing method was applied with over 80 Mongolian media sources. The findings suggest that Mongolian civil society organizations made significant influence on setting redistributive policy agenda with its rapid expansion and various pressure actions.

How people react to threatening information such as climate change is a complicated matter. While people with a high environmental self-identity tend to react approach-motivated by engaging in pro-environmental behaviour, people of low environmental self-identity may exhibit proximal defence behaviour, by avoiding and distracting themselves from potentially threatening stimuli caused by identified anxious thoughts and circumstances. This psychological theory has recently been tested in experimental studies in which the results suggest that the promotion of climate change information can also backfire. Based on these findings, we propose an agent-based model to address influences on anxiety and correlated pro-environmental actions in relation to societal attitudes of climate change scepticism and environmental self-identity.

Relationship of normal emotions resembling startle and surprise with cognitive and motor learning and performance and its influence on self-feel rating were studied among 100 normal subjects those included 50 male and 50 female. Start Mirror Drawing (Electronic) for cognitive and motor learning and performance , created conditions containing stimulus values close to startle and surprise and personal feel question, quantity: 1 for self-feel rating were used. It was assumed that the relationship might exist? The data analysis revealed a relationship (r =.900**, p <.001) effect of different emotions (r =.831**, p <.001) on normal function, performance and on self-feel rating, its relevance with modernity discussed.
