Prominent sociologist Dorothy Smith outlines a method of inquiry that uses everyday experience as a lens to examine social relations and social institutions. Concerned with articulating an inclusive sociology that goes beyond looking at a particular group of people from the detached viewpoint of the researcher, this is a method of inquiry for people, incorporating the expert's research and language into everyday experience to examine social relations and institutions. The book begins by examining the foundations of institutional ethnography in women's movements, differentiating it from other related sociologies; the second part offers an ontology of the social; and the third illustrates this ontology through an array of institutional ethnography examples. This will be a foundational text for classes in sociology, ethnography, and women's studies.

Music representation models are widely used for tasks such as tagging, retrieval, and music understanding. Yet, their potential to encode cultural bias remains underexplored. In this paper, we apply Concept Activation Vectors (CAVs) to investigate whether non-musical singer attributes - such as gender and language - influence genre representations in unintended ways. We analyze four state-of-the-art models (MERT, Whisper, MuQ, MuQ-MuLan) using the STraDa dataset, carefully balancing training sets to control for genre confounds. Our results reveal significant model-specific biases, aligning with disparities reported in MIR and music sociology. Furthermore, we propose a post-hoc debiasing strategy using concept vector manipulation, demonstrating its effectiveness in mitigating these biases. These findings highlight the need for bias-aware model design and show that conceptualized interpretability methods offer practical tools for diagnosing and mitigating representational bias in MIR.

É fundamental criar ambientes hospitalares acessíveis, acolhedores e confortáveis. Infere-se que arquitetos, designers e engenheiros exercem um papel crucial durante o ciclo de vida da edificação hospitalar. No entanto, entende-se que a participação dos demais usuários do ambiente hospitalar é importante também na idealização de mudanças no espaço físico. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo, examinar a perspectiva de profissionais influentes no planejamento de edifícios hospitalares quanto à introdução de estímulos no ambiente físico. Indicadores de bem-estar foram selecionados a partir das Teorias do Design de Suporte e do Design Baseado em Evidências, tendo sido aplicado um questionário versando sobre Senso de Controle, Apoio Social, Distrações Positivas e Iluminação Natural. Participaram 96 arquitetos, designers, engenheiros, gestores hospitalares, médicos, enfermeiros e outros profissionais da área. As respostas indicaram que, para a maioria dos respondentes, o ambiente físico interfere muito no bem-estar de todos os tipos de usuário de Estabelecimentos Assistenciais de Saúde (EAS) sendo a presença de iluminação natural o componente considerado mais relevante para seu bem-estar. Segundo os profissionais, os indicadores de bem-estar têm relevância superior para pacientes internados em enfermarias e para funcionários da assistência em regime de plantão igual ou superior a 12h, e menor relevância para pacientes não internados. Preservar a privacidade dos pacientes e disponibilizar iluminação natural em quartos e em enfermarias foram os indicadores de bem-estar mais priorizados pelos participantes da pesquisa. De modo geral, os projetistas tendem a priorizar mais os indicadores em novas edificações de EAS do que em reformas ou ampliações.

Abstract Introduction The number of postmenopausal women is expected to grow dramatically in the coming decades in Iran. Adopting a health-promoting lifestyle (HPL) is essential for improving health and quality of life of this population. This study pursues two objectives: (1) to assess the HPL levels among Iranian postmenopausal women and (2) to investigate the socio-demographic and psychological variables including self-efficacy and self-esteem associated with HPL. Methods In this cross-sectional study with correlational design, 400 married postmenopausal women in Shiraz (southwestern Iran) were selected via stratified random sampling. The data collection tools were the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II (HPLP-II), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and a sociodemographic information questionnaire. Pearson’s correlation coefficient test, independent samples t-tests, and stepwise multiple linear regression were used for analyzing the data in SPSS v. 22. Results The average age of natural menopause among participants was 49.33 ± 3.43 years, and they had relatively good HPLP (136.52 ± 21.46). The results highlighted that among all the HPLP subscales, the highest mean score was observed for health responsibility (33.62 ± 6.98), whereas the lowest scores were observed for stress management (12.26 ± 3.13) and physical activity (17.64 ± 6.52). Both self-efficacy (r = 0.445, p < 0.01) and self-esteem (r = 0.425, p < 0.01) demonstrated significant, moderate positive correlations with the total HPL score. Also, there was a significant association between the total HPLP score and two demographic variables: women’s education (r = 0.17, p < 0.01) and husband’s educational level (r = 0.113, p < 0.05). In addition, the HPLP total score had a significant negative relationship with the number of children (r=-0.114, p < 0.05). The stepwise multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the variables independently associated with the HPL of participants were self-efficacy (β = 0.32, p < 0.001), self-esteem (β = 0.27, p < 0.001), and occupation (β = 0.144, p < 0.001). Conclusion It is suggested that health care professionals implement comprehensive planning to enhance the HPL of postmenopausal women. Interventions aimed at improving HPL in this population should prioritize strategies to enhance self-efficacy and self-esteem. Particular attention should be paid to women with lower education, unemployment, and a higher number of children.

This study aims to examine whether the adoption of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards enhances carbon emission disclosure among banks in Indonesia. Furthermore, it provides empirical evidence that the presence of women on boards moderates the relationship between GRI adoption and carbon emission disclosure. The study was conducted on 40 conventional and Islamic banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2015–2021. The analysis employs Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression, with robustness tests conducted using alternative measurement variables to ensure the consistency of the results. The findings consistently demonstrate that the adoption of GRI Standards positively influences carbon emission disclosure in Indonesian banks. The presence of women on boards promotes banks’ engagement in global climate change agendas, aligning with the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 5, 8, and 13. This study reinforces stakeholder theory and Critical Mass Theory, indicating that a minimum threshold of female board members is necessary to influence strategic decisions, particularly in encouraging voluntary disclosures such as carbon emission reporting. Notably, the study also finds that carbon emission disclosure is valued by banking stakeholders in Indonesia. Therefore, policymakers are encouraged to establish regulations that mandate GRI adoption and ensure a minimum representation of women in strategic decision-making positions within the banking sector.
