This paper explores the impact of the COVID-pandemic on educational and financial inequality in level of weekly sport participation in the Netherlands. Restrictions due to the COVID-pandemic resulted in several barriers for people to continue sport participation. Lower educated people and individuals with financial problems are expected to have relatively few resources to adapt to the COVID restrictions, and therefore, more likely will decrease their level of weekly sport participation. Using high-quality data from the Dutch Longitudinal Internet Studies for the Social Sciences (LISS) panel, we are able to compare individual sport behaviour before and during the COVID-pandemic. Our findings suggest that the level of weekly sport participation of lower educated people and individuals with financial problems decreased more strongly during the COVID-pandemic. This implies that indeed the COVID-pandemic resulted in increasing educational and financial inequality in sport participation. With these results, our study contributes to a body of knowledge on the broader societal impact of COVID on issues of social exclusion. It may also inform policymakers to critically assess and intensify sport promotion policies directed at vulnerable groups in society.

本文探讨了新冠肺炎大流行对荷兰每周体育参与水平的教育和财政不平等的影响。covid - 19大流行造成的限制给人们继续参加体育活动带来了一些障碍。受教育程度较低的人和有经济问题的人预计将拥有相对较少的资源来适应新冠肺炎的限制,因此,他们更有可能减少每周的体育参与水平。利用荷兰社会科学纵向互联网研究(LISS)小组的高质量数据,我们能够比较新冠肺炎大流行之前和期间的个人体育行为。我们的研究结果表明,在covid - 19大流行期间,受教育程度较低的人和有经济问题的人每周参加体育运动的水平下降得更厉害。这意味着,covid - 19大流行确实导致体育参与方面的教育和财政不平等加剧。有了这些结果,我们的研究有助于建立有关COVID对社会排斥问题的更广泛社会影响的知识体系。它还可以为决策者提供信息,以批判性地评估和加强针对社会弱势群体的体育促进政策。

ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on organisations that work with economically disadvantaged youth such as Rebonds! [Pick yourself up!], an association that provides educational rugby programmes to underprivileged young people in Toulouse, France. During the pandemic, this association experienced social change in the form of a double movement. First, its actors sought to preserve the fundamentals of the socialisation process that structures their work, which encourages young people to open up to the world and engage their bodies, while also introducing a new range of socialisation activities to address precarity and social inequality in healthcare. Second, because it was able to adapt its programmes to environmental constraints and remain strongly connected to all its partners, the association came to be perceived as a strong, stable, and seasoned community resource. At the same time, Rebonds! was able, during this period, to strengthen its legitimacy and the recognition it received from public institutions.
2019冠状病毒病大流行对Rebonds!振作起来!是一个为法国图卢兹贫困的年轻人提供教育橄榄球项目的协会。在大流行期间,该协会以双重运动的形式经历了社会变革。首先,其参与者试图保持构成其工作的社会化进程的基本原则,鼓励年轻人向世界开放并参与他们的身体,同时还引入一系列新的社会化活动,以解决医疗保健中的不稳定和社会不平等问题。其次,由于它能够使其项目适应环境限制,并与所有合作伙伴保持紧密联系,该协会被视为一个强大、稳定和经验丰富的社区资源。同时,篮板!在此期间,能够加强其合法性并得到公共机构的承认。

ABSTRACT In China, due to the large-scale lockdowns and strict prevention policies of COVID-19, Chinese tennis coaches have started to open a new front of their career by offering online tennis training on social media platforms. This study introduces mediatisation theory as a theoretical framework to investigate the mediatisation process of tennis coaching on social media platforms in China. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected to analyse three dimensions of Chinese tennis coaches' professional and living conditions: the career trajectory of tennis coaches, the mediatisation of the profession of tennis coaching, and the financial crisis faced by tennis clubs and the tennis industry. We monitored the BiliBili channels of the most popular tennis vloggers on BiliBili and analysed their media practices. We also collected data from job search websites and conducted in-depth interviews with 30 Chinese tennis coaches. The findings are as follows: The new approach has gradually gained the support of coaches thanks to its advantages such as flexibility, accessibility, self-promotion and marketing strategies. The mediatisation of tennis training has accelerated the popularisation of tennis in China, as have relevant government regulations regarding self-promotion platforms.
在中国,由于大规模的封锁和严格的新冠肺炎预防政策,中国网球教练开始通过社交媒体平台提供在线网球培训,开辟职业生涯的新战线。本研究以媒介化理论为理论框架,探讨中国社交媒体平台网球教练的媒介化过程。采用定量和定性两方面的数据,分析了中国网球教练职业和生活状况的三个维度:网球教练的职业轨迹、网球教练职业的媒介化、网球俱乐部和网球产业面临的财政危机。我们监控了BiliBili上最受欢迎的网球视频博主的频道,并分析了他们的媒体实践。我们还从求职网站收集数据,并对30名中国网球教练进行了深度访谈。结果表明:新方法由于其灵活性、可及性、自我推广和营销策略等优势,逐渐得到教练员的支持。网球训练的媒体化加速了网球在中国的普及,政府对自我推广平台也有相关规定。

ABSTRACT Lampedusa is a remote Italian island, known as a border zone and European point of entry for many asylum-seekers coming by boat from North Africa. This research seeks to understand the value of sport in Lampedusa for its local and migrant population, in the context of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with experts from the local community. Results show that sport in Lampedusa is often synonymous with football. Football has always been informally practiced in the island but has proved to be of practical social value to both asylum-seekers and the local population. The pandemic has however interrupted the playful interactions occurring between asylum-seekers and the local youth. Findings show that the interactions and connections enabled through football can be fundamental for asylum-seekers to find direction in their journey but since the start of the pandemic, these interactions have become limited, and serve exclusively as temporary moments of relief. These changes have also impacted the local population, anxious about the transition occurring within the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in worries about the condition of the asylum-seeking population who are proceeding in their European journey without the assistance of the locals.
摘要兰佩杜萨岛是意大利的一个偏远岛屿,被许多从北非乘船来的寻求庇护者称为边境区和欧洲入境点。本研究旨在了解在全球新冠肺炎大流行的背景下,兰佩杜萨体育运动对当地和移民人口的价值。数据是通过对当地社区专家的半结构化访谈收集的。结果显示,兰佩杜萨岛的体育运动往往是足球的代名词。足球在岛上一直是非正式的活动,但事实证明,它对寻求庇护者和当地居民都具有实际的社会价值。然而,新冠疫情中断了寻求庇护者和当地青年之间的有趣互动。研究结果表明,通过足球实现的互动和联系可能是寻求庇护者在旅途中寻找方向的基础,但自疫情开始以来,这些互动变得有限,只能作为暂时的解脱。这些变化也影响了当地人口,他们对新冠肺炎大流行期间发生的过渡感到焦虑,导致对寻求庇护的人口的状况感到担忧,这些人在没有当地人帮助的情况下前往欧洲。

ABSTRACT In our paper, we present the research findings of our empirical survey conducted in Hungary related to the gender differences in the use, motivations, habits, and aspirations in video games and esports. The most important theoretical foundations of our research are provided by the critical feminist theory and, within that, the critical agenda and the feminist cultural studies (Birrell, 2000). These writings raise awareness of the fact that sport still has extremely masculine dimensions that have preserved the original uneven distribution of power for centuries. We consider esports as such a domain. Our research question relates to the gender proportions in video gaming, and we include the characteristics of the games played and the motivations of the players in our observations. In order to achieve the desired data, an online inventory was used (N = 338). Our results highlight that although modernisation and technical development profoundly transformed and determined our daily life, including our attitude to free time and sports, regardless of gender, social and geographical situation, the changes at the same time bring about certain forms of inequalities.
在我们的论文中,我们展示了我们在匈牙利进行的关于电子游戏和电子竞技中使用、动机、习惯和愿望的性别差异的实证调查的研究结果。我们的研究最重要的理论基础是由批判女性主义理论提供的,其中包括批判议程和女性主义文化研究(Birrell, 2000)。这些文章让人们意识到,体育运动仍然具有极其男性化的特征,几个世纪以来,这种特征一直保持着权力分配的不平衡。我们认为电子竞技就是这样一个领域。我们的研究问题与电子游戏中的性别比例有关,我们在观察中包含了所玩游戏的特征和玩家的动机。为了获得所需的数据,使用了在线库存(N = 338)。我们的研究结果强调,尽管现代化和技术发展深刻地改变和决定了我们的日常生活,包括我们对空闲时间和运动的态度,而不考虑性别、社会和地理位置,但这些变化同时也带来了某些形式的不平等。

ABSTRACT Innovative diagnostic solutions are essential to improve COVID-19 case detection and slow its spread in resource-constrained settings. To understand how South African communities may utilise rapid SARS-CoV-2 antigen self-testing and react to self-test results, we conducted a qualitative study, involving semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions, of healthcare workers, representatives of civil society groups, and potential self-testing implementors. A sex- and location-sensitive thematic analysis approach was used to assess how 52 decision-takers on self-testing roll-out in South Africa perceive the value and utility of this innovative diagnostic approach. Informants suggested South Africans might value a device that allows them to self-test in private, at their own convenience, while avoiding the risk of social stigma and having to wait for COVID-19 test results in a facility. They also emphasised the need for awareness and sensitisation campaigns and to ensure pre-/post-self-test counselling services are easily accessible. Collaboration with traditional leaders and community-based organisations would improve results communication and linkage to counselling and confirmatory testing. SARS-CoV-2 self-testing was perceived to be acceptable to a population already sensitised to the use of HIV self-testing, being a decentralised solution that would help reduce the incidence of COVID-19 and prevent any further deterioration of socio-economic indicators.
摘要创新的诊断解决方案对于改善新冠肺炎病例检测和减缓其在资源紧张环境中的传播至关重要。为了了解南非社区如何利用快速的严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒2型抗原自检并对自检结果做出反应,我们对医护人员、民间社会团体代表和潜在的自检实施者进行了一项定性研究,包括半结构化访谈和焦点小组讨论。使用对性别和地点敏感的主题分析方法来评估在南非开展自我测试的52名决策者如何看待这种创新诊断方法的价值和效用。知情者表示,南非人可能会重视一种设备,这种设备可以让他们在自己方便的情况下私下自我测试,同时避免社会耻辱的风险,并不得不在设施中等待新冠肺炎检测结果。他们还强调,需要开展提高认识和宣传活动,并确保自测前/自测后的咨询服务易于获得。与传统领导人和社区组织的合作将改善结果沟通以及与咨询和确认测试的联系。SARS-CoV-2自我检测被认为是已经对使用艾滋病毒自我检测敏感的人群可以接受的,这是一种分散的解决方案,有助于降低新冠肺炎的发病率,防止社会经济指标进一步恶化。

Lessons from the UK’s handling of Covid-19 for the future of scientific advice to government: a contribution to the UK Covid-19 Public Inquiry 英国应对Covid-19的经验教训对政府未来的科学建议:对英国Covid-19公共调查的贡献

ABSTRACT Despite strong expertise and a sophisticated scientific advisory system, the UK’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic has been, and continues to be, weak in terms of preventing death and illness, and damage to the economy. This article argues that an important reason for this failure has been that the policies of the UK government have at critical times failed to take adequate account of scientific evidence, while at the same time attempts have been made to blame scientists for resulting policy failures. This paper analyses the role of scientific advice in addressing Covid-19 in the UK and draws three lessons for how such expertise can be better deployed in the future. It argues that: (1) Government scientific advisors and advisory bodies should be more independent of political influence and interference; (2) Government scientific advisors should be empowered to challenge misrepresentation and misuse by decision-makers of the scientific evidence, and undermining of public-health policies; and (3) Government scientific advice should be more transparent and advisors should engage more proactively with the public. Acting on these lessons will be important for ongoing handling of the current crisis, for the current UK Covid-19 Public Inquiry, and for the UK’s preparedness for future crises.
摘要尽管英国拥有强大的专业知识和完善的科学咨询系统,但在预防死亡和疾病以及对经济的破坏方面,英国对新冠肺炎疫情的应对一直并将继续薄弱。这篇文章认为,这一失败的一个重要原因是,英国政府的政策在关键时刻没有充分考虑科学证据,同时也试图将由此导致的政策失败归咎于科学家。本文分析了科学建议在英国应对新冠肺炎方面的作用,并为未来如何更好地部署这些专业知识吸取了三个教训。它认为:(1)政府科学顾问和咨询机构应更加独立于政治影响和干预;(2) 政府科学顾问应有权质疑决策者对科学证据的歪曲和滥用,以及对公共卫生政策的破坏;(3)政府的科学建议应该更加透明,顾问应该更积极地与公众接触。根据这些经验教训采取行动,对于当前危机的持续处理、当前英国新冠肺炎公共调查以及英国应对未来危机的准备工作都很重要。

ABSTRACT This review paper offers a political philosophy perspective on the place that unpaid internships occupy within the UK’s graduate labour market. By reviewing a range of sociologically-oriented academic and sources, the paper concludes that we lack an understanding of the deeper historical and philosophical roots of the contentions surrounding this area of work. To address this, the review locates unremunerated internships at the intersections of two opposing liberal philosophies in relation to work: an egalitarian and pluralist strain wherein a job is a key social good; classic political economy in which an individual’s labour is a private good. The paper argues that this contending duality is the origin both of the criticisms that unpaid internships attract for perpetuating social elitism and their persistence in the face of such criticisms.
摘要本文从政治哲学的角度探讨了无薪实习在英国毕业生劳动力市场中的地位。通过回顾一系列以社会学为导向的学术和来源,本文得出结论,我们对围绕这一工作领域的争论的更深层次的历史和哲学根源缺乏理解。为了解决这一问题,该评论将无报酬实习定位在与工作相关的两种对立的自由主义哲学的交叉点:一种平等主义和多元主义的压力,其中工作是关键的社会利益;个人劳动是私人利益的经典政治经济学。这篇论文认为,这种争论的二元性既是无薪实习因长期存在社会精英主义而受到批评的根源,也是他们在面对这种批评时坚持的根源。

Welcome to this fifth issue of Volume 17, which is the third time we have run CSS Open, the completely open access (OA) issue of Contemporary Social Science. CSS Open has been an exciting development for the journal, both in terms of enabling more OA publishing and offering a ‘non-themed’ issue in addition to our usual special issues, made up of original research from disciplines across the social sciences. These OA online-only issues, published from 2020 onwards, have been developed in recognition of the shift taking place in publishing towards work which is open, accessible, impactful and inclusive. Many of these CSS Open papers have been widely read and highly cited, such as Breakwell (2020) on ‘Mistrust, uncertainty and health risks’, Van Der Zwet et al. (2020) on ‘Brexit, Europe and Othering’, Connolly et al. (2021) on ‘Governing ‘levelling-up’ in the UK: challenges and prospects’ and Grant and Kara (2021) on ‘Considering the Autistic advantage in qualitative research: the strengths of Autistic researchers’ amongst many others (with apologies to many other impactful CSS Open papers). All new non-themed OA articles are immediately added to a dedicated online-only issue, CSS Open, which enables all readers, everywhere, to find the latest open access articles in one place. Contributions to CSS Open are welcome in any appropriate form, including critical essays, reviews of significant topics, qualitative or quantitative empirical studies, including case studies and large-scale statistical analyses. Well documented examples of social science in action, composite reviews of sets of books and other publications are also welcome. Papers will normally be in the 5,000 to 7,000 word range.
欢迎收看第17卷的第5期,这是我们第三次运行CSS Open,这是当代社会科学的完全开放获取(OA)期。CSS Open对该杂志来说是一个令人兴奋的发展,无论是在实现更多OA出版方面,还是在我们通常的特刊之外,提供一期“非主题”期刊,由社会科学学科的原创研究组成。这些仅限OA在线发布的问题,从2020年开始发布,是为了认识到出版向开放、可访问、有影响力和包容性的工作转变。许多CSS公开论文被广泛阅读和高度引用,如Breakwell(2020)关于“不信任、不确定性和健康风险”,Van Der Zwet等人(2020),关于“英国脱欧、欧洲和其他”,Connolly等人(2021)关于“英国的治理“升级:挑战和前景”,Grant和Kara(2021)讨论“在定性研究中考虑自闭症的优势:自闭症研究人员的优势”等(向许多其他有影响力的CSS公开论文道歉)。所有新的非主题OA文章都会立即添加到一个专门的在线期刊CSS Open中,该期刊使所有读者都能在一个地方找到最新的开放获取文章。欢迎以任何适当形式对CSS Open做出贡献,包括评论文章、重要主题评论、定性或定量实证研究,包括案例研究和大规模统计分析。也欢迎有充分记录的社会科学实例、成套书籍和其他出版物的综合评论。论文通常在5000到7000字的范围内。

ABSTRACT Over the past decade, food insecurity has been increasing across the United Kingdom. The 2020/21 Covid-19 global pandemic has further aggravated food insecurity. This article examines how Covid-19 affected food insecurity through, first, a review of existing literature on the UK and, second, through presenting research results from Scotland with a focus on four groups considered to be specifically vulnerable to food insecurity – namely people with a disability, the homeless, young carers, and (destitute) asylum seekers. The article finds that Covid-19 impacted food insecurity in three ways: (1) it led to rising need driven mainly by income reductions and income crises; (2) it created new and intensified food access challenges; and (3) it had a significant impact on the operation of food banks and their important ‘wrap-around’ services (e.g. benefits advice). The article concludes with a discussion of the role of the social sciences in understanding the food insecurity crisis during Covid-19. In summary, the article adds to the developing understanding of the consequences of Covid-19 on food insecurity, the effectiveness of policy measures and the role that social sciences can play in times of crisis.
摘要在过去的十年里,英国各地的粮食不安全状况日益严重。2020/21年新冠肺炎全球大流行进一步加剧了粮食不安全。本文首先回顾了英国现有文献,其次介绍了苏格兰的研究结果,重点介绍了被认为特别容易受到粮食不安全影响的四个群体,即残疾人、无家可归者、年轻护理人员和(贫困)寻求庇护者,研究了新冠肺炎如何影响粮食不安全。文章发现,新冠肺炎在三个方面影响了粮食不安全:(1)它导致需求增加,主要是由收入减少和收入危机驱动的;(2) 它造成了新的和加剧的粮食获取挑战;(3)它对食品银行的运营及其重要的“一揽子”服务(如福利建议)产生了重大影响。文章最后讨论了社会科学在理解新冠肺炎期间粮食不安全危机方面的作用。总之,这篇文章进一步加深了人们对新冠肺炎对粮食不安全的影响、政策措施的有效性以及社会科学在危机时期可以发挥的作用的理解。
