Mikkel Andersson wrote that in the early 2010s he met a group of young university students in a pub in Lublin in eastern Poland. He described them as left-leaning, inclusive, and critical of the national conservative party Law and Justice (PiS), but stated that they did not reject non-Western immigration to Poland. According to Andersson, they then referred to Sweden's experiences with immigration. He wrote that the meeting came to his mind after Hungary's and Poland's leaders, who according to him had succeeded markedly more right-leaning predecessors, had linked the riots in France to immigration. Andersson described that connection as correct. #Polen #Indvandring #Venstreorienteret (translated)

Maurits Vande Reyde wrote that he found it incomprehensible that parties, politicians, universities, and the media had, in his opinion, blindly and naively rallied behind violent pro-Palestinian activists in recent years. He argued that this had been a cover for terror, destruction, and vandalism, and had nothing to do with self-determination for a people. He also wrote that the activists at universities had received honorary doctorates and VIP treatment and, according to him, still secretly laughed at what he called a collective delusion. #Palestina #terrorisme #vrijheid (translated)
Alma Dufour judged that the responsibility for the degradation, which she deemed unacceptable, lay entirely with Emmanuel Macron. She accused him of having despised peaceful social movements, of not having respected the result of the 2024 elections, and of having, according to her, plunged France into recession and significantly increased poverty. She also mentioned a liter of gasoline at 2.4 euros and claimed that there were more deaths in emergencies than homicides. Dufour accused the president of having had children who feared they had no future blinded, due to the elimination of thousands of university places and the lack of teachers. She estimated that the consequences of his policy were "1,000 times more violent" than the events of Saturday and asked where the outrage was in the face of the suicides of children from the child welfare system, the caregivers who self-immolated due to a lack of resources, and the female judges who hanged themselves in their offices. She concluded that Macron's government had destroyed the country and that the events of the previous day were a symptom of this. #Macron #France #Injustice (translated)

🚨Une revue cartographie 267 études présentées comme longitudinales sur le numérique et la santé des jeunes. Son message : ne pas réduire les usages au seul temps d’écran ; les pratiques, les contenus et les contextes comptent aussi.

Cette revue recense 267 études longitudinales publiées entre 2014 et 2024 et les classe en 6 thèmes (p. 5-7). Elle croise une synthèse par thème avec un décompte par technologie, type d’effet, âge et région (p. 11). Les autrices précisent qu’elle repère les grandes orientations de la recherche et ses lacunes, sans évaluer de façon définitive les effets (p. 11). Un déplacement du regard proposé par les autrices. Les études qui distinguent les façons d’utiliser le numérique trouvent des liens plus constants que celles qui mesurent le seul temps d’écran (p. 11). Les autrices en tirent une implication : passer d’un discours centré sur la responsabilité individuelle à des politiques qui agissent sur les environnements numériques des jeunes (p. 11). La revue peut aider à confronter les messages de prévention sur les écrans à ce que les études longitudinales permettent réellement d’affirmer. 🇬🇧: Daily use of digital technologies and youth health: a scoping review of longitudinal studies - https://www.pratiquesensante.com/en/blog/practices-15/usage-quotidien-des-technologies-numeriques-et-sante-des-jeunes-revue-de-portee-des-etudes-longitudinales-6269 #️⃣ #pratiquesensante #ÉcransEtJeunes #SantéMentaleJeunes #RéseauxSociaux #LittératieNumérique #DéterminantsNumériques #PréventionNumérique #RechercheLongitudinale
Isa Yusibov wrote that October 17, 2003, was a day of conflicting feelings for him: he wished it had never happened, but he was also proud of it. He was 14 years old at the time and said his family had considered him an adult since then. The day after the presidential elections in Azerbaijan, in which his father played an important role according to him, Yusibov claimed to be one of the first victims of the repression against the pro-Western opposition. He wrote that he was beaten, humiliated, and spat on in front of about 300 to 400 students. Afterwards, he received his school file and was informed that he was no longer welcome because his father was considered a state enemy. Yusibov said that on his way to the exit, he made eye contact with teachers who had treated him kindly before the elections. Several teachers reportedly gestured for him to leave quickly. He wrote that the experience made him proud of his father and convinced him that the dictatorship would continue. A month later, his family reportedly fled to the Netherlands. The event compelled him to focus on geopolitics. Yusibov argued that the power transition surrounding Aliyev was a consensus among the West, Putin, Erdogan, and Iran. According to him, the West, led by Bush, had betrayed the democrats in Azerbaijan in favor of authoritarian stability. He also wrote that great power interests dictated politics in the Caucasus and that this situation had not changed 23 years later. Yusibov stated that his experiences had taught him how difficult it was to stand up for democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. He wrote that he had seen the first signs of undermining democratic principles in the Netherlands as well, by parties that he believed targeted democracy. He referred to a previous interview with NRC and said he would not allow the Netherlands to become a country where the government disregarded fundamental rights. #Democratie #Mensenrechten #Geopolitiek (translated)
