The COVID-19 pandemic has had massive, global-scale impacts. For the realization of policy goals, the pandemic calls for citizen co-production. Since most policies are voluntary, levers for encouraging compliance with them oblige public servants to find ways to activate residents’ civic sense of duty. Such efforts are likely to be more effective if they harness the popular legitimacy of intermediaries – from civic organizations to for-profit companies – that can exert normative pressure for compliance. With the aim of the management and reduction of health, economic risks, and damages, several initiatives have been organized in Hungary. Initiators included political parties, registered NGOs, companies and informal groups and communities.

The article presents the results of a study of the middle class of the Russian region in terms of the manifestation of various types of social activity by actors. The emphasis on the analysis of social activity is motivated by the consideration of this attribute as a criterion for the allocation of the middle class in the post-industrial period. The research method – an in-depth focused interview through which two tasks are solved: identifying the degree of significance for informants of social activity and examples of its manifestation; determination of the degree of readiness to participate in the implementation of the innovation development strategy of the Tomsk Region and thereby act as a “driver” of social changes. Representatives of the middle class are included in the sample based on self-identification. It was revealed that the middle class of the Russian region is active in realising personal, but not social goals. Such a characteristic of the post-industrial middle class as the willingness to act as a driver of social development is not observed. Options are proposed for solving this problem related to the mechanisms of involving the middle class in regional planning and decision-making regarding generally significant issues.

Successful behavioral interventions to reduce the consumption of unhealthy food will ease burden of NCDs and its economic cost. In prior research, conventional approach such as nutrition information could not overcome the impact of tasty but unhealthy food. Thus, this study is designed a field experiment at a casual restaurant to assess the effects of taste and behavioral approach, particularly the combination of convenience and visibility enhancements on healthier meal choices. The results of this study show that adding difficulty in ordering high-calorie food along with visibility can reduce calorie intake and compensate for the calorie increase caused by ordering according to taste. However, there are differences in effectiveness of interventions across each type of participant.

This study explored the autochthonous methods of policing and law enforcement in the community and the perception of indigenes on the efficacy of these methods. The qualitative method was adopted, using the in-depth interview technique with indigenes: the youth forum, and community leaders and elders. Findings show that offences in Okposi community are classified into two: abominations and torts, while the indigenous structure for crime prevention and control were Ndi Uke (community male elders council); Unyom Okposi (female elders council); Ndi Okenye (village elders council); and Ndi Okorobia (the youths). The fear of the inevitability of spiritual consequences from the gods appears to be a good source of deterrence from crime commission. The traditional methods of policing were deemed more effective in crime control. It is recommended that the Nigeria Police should continue to take advantage of the cordial relationship with the community to enhance peace, security and justice. Key words : Traditional policing, criminal justice, theory, Okposi

Theoretical explanations of corruption in Africa are inconclusive. Economic downturn and poverty are the effects of poor resource management in Africa. Yet, neopatrimonialism also stands as an alternative explanation. This survey separate these two theoretical alternatives of corruption in Africa. It examines 54 African countries using the corruption perception index of 2017. It found that fuel-exporting countries in Africa are more corrupt than non-fuel exporting countries with a large associated effect size (Cohen’s d =. 94). Fuel exporting countries were linked with resource-curse theory (poor resource management) and the extractive theory of corruption (neopatrimonialism) while non fuel exporting countries was linked up with only the extractive theory of corruption (neopatrimonialism). By implication, African nations involved in the exportation of fuel resource are 94% likely to be more corrupt than countries that do not export fuel.
对非洲腐败现象的理论解释尚无定论。经济衰退和贫困是非洲资源管理不善的后果。然而，新世袭主义也可以作为另一种解释。这项调查将非洲腐败的这两种理论选择分开。它使用2017年的腐败感知指数对54个非洲国家进行了调查。研究发现，非洲的燃料出口国比非燃料出口国腐败程度更高，相关效应值较大(Cohen’s d =)。94)。燃料出口国与资源诅咒理论(资源管理不善)和贪腐榨取理论(新世俗制)联系在一起，而非燃料出口国只与贪腐榨取理论(新世俗制)联系在一起。由此可见，从事燃料资源出口的非洲国家比不从事燃料出口的国家腐败的可能性高94%。

International migration into Hungary is markedly differentiated into two levels: the global migration effect, and the processes flowing between Hungary and its neighbouring countries, which date back a long time. The main characteristic of international migration in Hungary is that the largest part of the immigrant population is of Hungarian nationality. Population movements in the late 1980s and early 1990s made it clear that the demographic processes taking place in the Hungarian linguistic community – despite the fragmentation occurring in 1918, and the nearly 100 year old ‘distributed development’ – can only fully understood if we examine them together, as a single process. It is important to recognise that demographic processes within and outside of the current border are similar in nature. All that is happening in Hungary is only part of the demographic processes of the Hungarian language community. The migration processes described in the paper would have a significant impact on the ethnic spatial structure of the Hungarians in the Carpathian Basin if the number of other ethnicities did not decrease similarly. Strengthening the numbers of people staying in their home country, increasing the number of return migrations and the fertility rates of local Hungarians could all be part a solution to the problem.

The researcher conducted semi-structured audio-recorded interviews of 13 mothers and expectant mothers who had migrated to Spain from Latin America. Qualitative analysis revealed several themes, including Challenges in Spain and Opportunities in Spain. Challenges were of three main types: personal and relationship challenges, economic challenges, and perceived racism and stereotyping. Opportunities were also of three primary types: future opportunities for the Latinas’ children, increased safety, and greater personal independence. None of the women mentioned the possibility of returning to their country of origin, suggesting that perceived opportunities in Spain outweighed the challenges they faced. The findings are considered from the perspective of the empowerment of immigrant Latina mothers in Spain. While interview responses gave little evidence of economic, educational, social, or political empowerment, they did suggest that the women demonstrated considerable psychological empowerment, including resilience, perseverance, and determination to move forward despite challenges.

The consumption of alcohol in one form or other has prevailed throughout the history of the world. The first half of this paper deals with the sociocultural roots of alcoholism and drinking habits in ancient India, besides discussing its socioeconomic implications and impact on several areas of life. In the second half, it presents the history of the implementation and repeal of total prohibition in Tamil Nadu state against the backdrop of incumbent Dravidian political parties and a series of statewide anti-liquor protests during 2016 –2017.
