Essence, classification and functions of social services in Ukraine

Formulation of the problem. The extensive social policy of Ukraine, inherited from Soviet times, in particular due to the manifestation of the state’s concern for its citizens by providing a large number of benefits, subsidies and social advantages without taking into account the financial capabilities of the budget, poses a threat to the economic stability of Ukraine. This is especially evident now, when the military aggression of the russian federation against Ukraine caused additional large-scale challenges to the system of social protection and social security of the population. Citizens have found themselves in difficult life circumstances and unable to partially or fully provide for themselves and their family members, which has caused and continues to cause irreparable damage to the social security of Ukraine. All these and other arguments determine the need to review the components of the current social system to ensure opportunities for a person to live a full and independent life. Analysis of recent research and publications. Social services are seen throughout the world as a necessary function of society and a mechanism by which governments can address societal problems. The study of the essence of the term “social service” in the international context shows that its interpretation in a specific country is determined by its history, cultural features, political system and level of economic development. The results of the study of the essence of this concept in the scientific works of Ukrainian scientists testify to the consideration of social services as activities or actions organized by relevant institutions for the benefit of an individual or a family, the ultimate goal of which is the opportunity to lead a full, dignified life. Presenting main material. The article analyses the Law of Ukraine “On Social Services”, defines the essence of the concept of “social service”, and classifies social services in accordance with legislative and regulatory documents. It is proposed to supplement the existing classification with a sign of individual needs of recipients of these services. The functions of social services are defined, which should warn, mitigate or protect a person from the consequences of negative social phenomena. The proposed functions make it possible to: study the reasons preventing the achievement of the desired level of social security or stability of individuals and families; determine the factors that contribute to the successful removal of these individuals or families from crisis situations. The definition of “social service” is formulated based on the results of the research. Conclusions. The purpose of providing social services is to improve the quality of human life, resist demographic changes, increase the level of social protection, help reduce poverty, and overcome discrimination in all its forms. The guarantee and prerequisite for the establishment of an effective institutional system of providing social services is the adequate establishment of their essence, classification and definition of the functions they must perform in the system of social protection and social security of the population.

Ethics and Politics of Induced Abortion and the Sanctity of Human Life

This research work argues that induced abortion as a means of birth control is morally unacceptable. Although, the question of abortion is being considered as a means of birth control but this position not only has generated much controversy from antiquity to the postmodern era, it has also politicized many democratic societies. Proponents of induced abortion couch it in terms of gender equality and human right of women to choose or what to do in matters that their body. This too has presented us with political and ethical quandary. The problematic as conceptualized in the title is embedded in moral questions implied in these questions, among others, regarding the morality of induced abortion and the politicization of the ethical question. What makes one’s choice right or wrong? Is it one’s choice that makes an act right? Isn’t it first, that an act is judged right according to certain ethical norms that makes the action morally justified? Thus, some ethicists and pro-abortion advocates argue first, that the fetus is mere potency in the act of becoming human, and can be terminated at no moral consequence; secondly, that a woman has the right terminate the fetus as means of birth control. The researchers adopted the qualitative research design and used the expository, critical and analytic methods in the study to bring to the fore the crux of the matter. Major ethical theories are explored, critical questions raised and moral implications of exponents’ views exposed. The researchers came up with the conclusion that though human life is inviolable, even that of the unborn child. However, applying the Catholic Church’s moral teaching on the principle of double effect, the work avers that there could be extenuating circumstances, when induced abortion can be indirectly willed, such as in the case of treatment of a cancerous uterus, ectopic pregnancy, etc. Contrarily, it is the position of the researchers that politicizing abortion on the ground of the wellbeing of the couple, the human right of the pregnant woman to choose, for political capitals, or for eugenics reasons is intrinsically evil and thus acceptable. Politicizing induced abortion as a means of birth control has far reaching implications on ethics and the dignity of life. The paper strongly recommends that concerted efforts be put in place for educating married couples on the ethical implications of human sexuality. In this direction those in government should synergize with the Catholic Church’s magisterium on this issue and enact laws that protect the rights of the unborn child.

The Insecure Migrant

Abstract For many Hondurans fleeing poverty, political corruption, violent crime, and climate change-induced disasters and seeking settlement in the United States, insecurity is a lived condition throughout the non-linear migratory journey. Add to that an ever-expanding surveillance infrastructure and thickening of the securitized US–Mexico border, and the very act of leaving arguably becomes political in its assertion of the right to dignified life. In this article I examine how undocumented Honduran migrants living in New Orleans rationalize the levels of risk they have faced during their migration and residency in the city. By focusing on violence—potential and actual—from petty criminals, gangs, traffickers, and law enforcement, I argue for heightened attention to how insecurity is an ongoing, cumulative, and transnational process that migrants face in their search for the good life.

A Photovoice Study on the Position and Role of Hospice Volunteers in Korea.

As the quality of life increases, so does the demand for a dignified life. Although there is an increasing interest in hospice care, which helps people experience a comfortable death, the level of change in perception and in its role remain insignificant. This study investigated the position and role of hospice care using photovoice, a technique used in Participatory Action Research, to analyze the data collected from hospice volunteers who participated in a training program in Korea. The participants viewed hospice volunteering from the two perspectives: facing unexpected farewells and supporting like bicycle training wheels, highlighting the role of the "connection between death, life, and rest" as a mediator in conflicts between the patients and medical staff. Although the participants dreaded hospice volunteering, it prepared them to share their lives and provided an opportunity for inner growth by expanding knowledge through learning and establishing a "meaningful connection with the community" because they volunteered out of love, not obligation. Because the demand for hospice and palliative care is increasing, this study is meaningful as it investigates the perception of hospice care and determines its influencing factors based on the perspective of hospice volunteers and the changes in their perception over time.

A Study on Disability and Accessibility of the Children in English Indian Children's Higher Education

Disability in higher education has different implications from that of school Education. Higher education increases the chance of employability, thus, affirming dignified life for the persons with disabilities. While going through the policies and programmes in India it is found that not much has been done in the field of disability and higher education. There are number of groups working on the school education of children with disabilities. This has not translated in the entry of students to higher education because of various reasons. Infrastructural facilities within institutions, attitudes towards persons with disabilities, transportation facilities, and lack of support services are a few areas, which hinder the entry of children with disabilities into higher education.

International legal problems of the qualification of the right to a decent standard of living

The article considers the human right to a decent standard of living, its consolidation in international legal acts on human rights, constitutions and legislation of foreign states. It is emphasized that different terminology in the constitutions of states reflects a conflicting understanding of human rights, as well as the level of their development in a specific state. In this regard, different approaches to the studied terminology are observed in modern scientific literature.
 It is noted that a reliable idea of what constitutes the right to life and the right to a dignified life can be formed under the condition of synthesis of knowledge about what life is in general, as well as about the criteria of its dignity. The opinion expressed is that social and legal criteria for a dignified human life represent a multi-component open system. The level of self-realization of a person, acting in this system as an integral, system-creating criterion, is concretized into certain, quite important components: which make it possible to assess the sufficiency of material goods necessary to ensure the real possibility of realizing individual interests and needs; the sufficiency of intangible goods necessary to ensure the realization of individual interests and needs; legal guarantee and protection of the right to a dignified life.
 It was emphasized that the level of realization of the right to a decent life is influenced by various factors: state social policy, level of development of the social sphere in the country, living conditions of the population, lifestyle, investment climate, state of the environment, spirituality, socio-historical processes, income of the population, poverty and inequality, unemployment and labor force utilization, demographic dynamics, education and training, health, food and nutrition, housing conditions, infrastructure, communication, culture, social ties, family values, political and social stability, political and civil institutions.
 Based on the analysis of scientific points of view and legislation, the author comes to the conclusion that the right to a decent standard of living as a legal category is the minimum standard for satisfying human needs in various spheres: from physiological to spiritual. It includes social, economic and political rights that allow a person to be a worthy member of society, to develop freely in the conditions of security and social protection of the state. This right is enshrined in all the main international acts, both universal and regional, which define basic human rights and freedoms.

Relocation Issues of Released and Acquitted at International Criminal Courts and Tribunals

Abstract The study of the treatment of released and acquitted persons by international courts and tribunals (ICTs) has been one of the most neglected aspects of international criminal justice. The system rests on the cooperation of states with the ICTs. However, this cooperation when it exists, often ceases when the trial has ended. Regarding the objective of delivering justice, states appear to have either forgotten or refused to accept that both acquittals and the eventual release of convicted individuals are part of the process of criminal justice. Even states committed to international justice have denied protection against extradition to unsafe countries for acquitted and released persons, or declined to become host countries, grant asylum requests or take any steps to offer these former defendants and convicted persons a dignified life. This article explores the international legal frameworks applicable to the relocation of persons released or acquitted by ICTs. It specifically looks into the cases of the ad hoc tribunals and the International Criminal Court (ICC), the states parties’ general obligation under the statutes and rules to cooperate with the ICTs, and relevant principles of refugee law. The article explores some of the most recent issues relating to relocation that have shaken international criminal justice. At the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, the recent striking failure to obtain the relocation of nine acquitted and released persons is examined as an emblematic and appalling example of the violation of these persons’ fundamental human rights, and the refusal of the international community to pursue justice in all its aspects. At the ICC, important issues of relocation have already arisen for acquitted and released persons, and the Court will urgently need agreements in this area. Importantly, it is necessary to recognize that, to protect the rights of these former defendants, the practical work of defence lawyers continues long after their clients’ release.

POLICIES FOR THE SOCIAL INCLUSION OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLE IN ECUADOR

The indigenous people of Ecuador are divided by nationalities and aboriginal peoples; Currently, according to the National Council for the Development of Nationalities and Peoples of Ecuador (CODENPE), in the Ecuadorian territory, in the Costa, Sierra and Oriented regions, there are 14 nationalities and 18 indigenous peoples, each with its own worldview, customs and traditions. The generals that regulate the behavior of these cultures are the ama killa, ama llulla, ama shwa (not to be idle, not to lie, not to steal), they practice the minka and ayni, which are models of community cooperation and collaboration. The exclusion of indigenous people has been a problem, which, from generation to generation, for more than 500 years, our aboriginal brothers have had to endure, until June 2022, according to the National Survey of Employment, Unemployment and Underemployment (ENEMDU, 2022 ), income poverty in the rural sector was 42.9% and extreme poverty reached 22.7%; that is, of the approximately 1,080,000 indigenous people, 463,320 indigenous people live in poverty and 245,160 live in extreme poverty; which implies pointing out that the discrimination, exclusion and exploitation of this group of priority attention is recurrent. The manuscript answers the question: Have public policies of social and political inclusion improved the quality of life in the indigenous communities of Ecuador? The results allow us to establish that public policies for social and political inclusion are mechanisms that materialize the rights to citizen participation and a dignified life, not only of indigenous people, but of all citizens of Ecuador; however, these strategies are not fulfilling the stated objective, which is why the quality of life in the rural sector where the majority of aborigines reside has not improved significantly.

Social support of veterans of the Russian-Ukrainian war and their families during the war and post-war period

The increase in the number of veterans/veterans in connection with the full-scale invasion of Russia on the territory of Ukraine has exacerbated the issue of developing effective mechanisms for their social support at the state level. The article offers its own understanding of the content of social support; the results of the study of the available domestic and foreign experience in the organization of social support for veterans in the activities of primary state and communal institutions are highlighted; the work prospects of state and communal institutions of relevant ministries (the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Veterans Affairs and the Ministry of Social Policy) regarding the implementation of social support for veterans of the Russian-Ukrainian war and their families were developed and highlighted. It is noted that social support is a set of activities, programs and services provided by local authorities, public organizations and other institutions or organizations with the aim of facilitating the process of reintegration and ensuring a dignified life for veterans/veterans and their family members. It was determined that the primary institutions for the organization and implementation of social support for the specified population category are three institutions: territorial recruitment and social support centers of the Ministry of Defense, territorial departments of the Ministry of Veterans Affairs, Centers for the provision of social services/Centers of social services of the Ministry of Social Policy, which are obliged it is necessary to clearly divide powers and take responsibility for the implementation of social support for veterans/veterans and their family members.

Transculturally rural: challenging convivial imaginations of ‘bettering’ life

ABSTRACT During the 1960s–1970s in Ecuador, Indigenous and peasant movements challenged the descriptions of rural life in government education programmes while offering a space of transculture. As Sylvia Wynter [2003. ‘Unsettling the Coloniality of Being/Power/Truth/Freedom: Towards the Human, After Man, Its Overrepresentation – An Argument.’ CR: The New Centennial Review 3 (3): 257–337.] proposes it, such space allows to narrate human life with sensibilities non-aligned with normalised cultural particularities of the ideal tacit ‘we’ in national(ised) stories. This text engages with the convivial movements between narratives and counternarratives about rural lives and ways of living. It argues that rural can be thought as a genre and ruralness as a practice of existence, which disrupt overdetermining notions of what counts as dignified life, valid political demands, and possible futures. That disruption is an exercise of conviviality where Indigenous and racialised peoples challenge a living together under rules and practices that demand their assimilation or erasure. Their luchas (fights) are proposals for coexistence through social change. Particularly the article looks at how the poem The Bread of Life, published in the bilingual Kichwa/Spanish newspaper Jatari Campesino, pushed back against the logics of ‘bettering’ lives offered by Fundamental Education and Community Development projects. These were projects espoused by the Ecuadorian Government and UNESCO and funded by the Alliance for Progress, among other foreign aid agencies.

Acceptability of a Health Care App With 3 User Interfaces for Older Adults and Their Caregivers: Design and Evaluation Study

The older population needs solutions for independent living and reducing the burden on caregivers while maintaining the quality and dignity of life. The aim of this study was to design, develop, and evaluate an older adult health care app that supports trained caregivers (ie, formal caregivers) and relatives (ie, informal caregivers). We aimed to identify the factors that affect user acceptance of interfaces depending on the user's role. We designed and developed an app with 3 user interfaces that enable remote sensing of an older adult's daily activities and behaviors. We conducted user evaluations (N=25) with older adults and their formal and informal caregivers to obtain an overall impression of the health care monitoring app in terms of user experience and usability. In our design study, the participants had firsthand experience with our app, followed by a questionnaire and individual interview to express their opinions on the app. Through the interview, we also identified their views on each user interface and interaction modality to identify the relationship between the user's role and their acceptance of a particular interface. The questionnaire answers were statistically analyzed, and we coded the interview answers based on keywords related to a participant's experience, for example, ease of use and usefulness. We obtained overall positive results in the user evaluation of our app regarding key aspects such as efficiency, perspicuity, dependability, stimulation, and novelty, with an average between 1.74 (SD 1.02) and 2.18 (SD 0.93) on a scale of -3.0 to 3.0. The overall impression of our app was favorable, and we identified that "simple" and "intuitive" were the main factors affecting older adults' and caregivers' preference for the user interface and interaction modality. We also identified a positive user acceptance of the use of augmented reality by 91% (10/11) of the older adults to share information with their formal and informal caregivers. To address the need for a study to evaluate the user experience and user acceptance by older adults as well as both formal and informal caregivers regarding the user interfaces with multimodal interaction in the context of health monitoring, we designed, developed, and conducted user evaluations with the target user groups. Our results through this design study show important implications for designing future health monitoring apps with multiple interaction modalities and intuitive user interfaces in the older adult health care domain.

Support towards elderly persons and how it impacts their living conditions: the case of Makueni County, Kenya

Despite modernism challenges, the elderly must be given opportunities and support to live a dignified life.

The Making of New Dalit Middle Class: Struggle, Aspirations and Changing Lifestyle in Navi Mumbai, India

Through delineating the struggles and challenges of Dalits in making of the Dalit middle class, this article seeks to argue that the struggle and aspiration of Dalits to live a dignified life and urban as a space of ‘liberation from caste’ represents a high point in making of the new Dalit middle class. However, existing literature about the Dalit middle class revolves around identity, provision of reservation in education, employment and cultural assertion, but many unfolded narratives of the Dalit middle class exist. This article attempts to reveal the struggle and challenges of the new Dalit middle class to achieve the status of the middle class. Keeping this in mind further, this article aims to explore the transformations in everyday life of the new Dalit middle class regarding consumer behaviour and lifestyle. Besides this, the article provides a detailed narrative of the new Dalit middle class and about their experience of caste and class in the city.

Jurisprudential Developments and Adjudication of Indigenous Peoples’ Rights

Abstract In recent years, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (“IACrtHR”) has developed an innovative jurisprudence that has reaffirmed and further developed the right of indigenous peoples as an integrative part of the corpus juris of the international human rights law (“ihrl”). In fact, through a dynamic, systemic, evolutive and effective interpretation of the American Convention on Human Rights (“achr”), the regional tribunal has expanded the scope of protection of Article 21 achr (Right to Property) in a manner that includes the protection of the special relationship that indigenous peoples have with their traditional lands, territories and natural resources. Based on this interpretative development, the IACrtHR has further expanded the protection of indigenous peoples’ communal property to guarantee their right to cultural identity and to a dignified life, that is, to live in accordance with their own cultural traditions and understanding of dignity. In this sense, specific safeguards against unjustified restrictions on the right to property, that could amount to a denial of the cultural survival of indigenous peoples, were jurisprudentially identified by the regional tribunal. This paper critically analyses the legal regime applicable for the protection of the right to traditional communal property of indigenous and tribal peoples in the Americas, as developed by the IACrtHR. In particular, it pays special attention to the methods of interpretation applied by the regional tribunal and the manner that has referred to the corpus juris of international human rights law that specifically protects and guarantees the rights of indigenous peoples.

Право на паліативну допомогу: досвід реалізації проєктів

The key elements of medical and social care for palliative care patients should be the educational component such as information campaigns and cultural projects, which explain that palliative care is not waiting for death, but a dignified and organized life of the patient and his relatives. Ivano-Frankivsk National Medical University has joined to different projects to support vulnerable groups. In particular, with the financial support of the Public Health program initiative of the International Renaissance Foundation, the university has been implementing measures aimed at social support of children treated in the oncohematology department of Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Children's Clinical Hospital and their families for four years. These children receive high-dose chemotherapy, the procedure of which is long, they do not leave the department for many months, and therefore in addition to treatment they desperately need communication, interesting games, smiles, sincere prayer. At the same time, members of their families need to be able to take a «social break» to watch a movie, visit a theater or swimming pool, feel psychological and legal support, learn to relieve stress and anxiety, counteract stress, not be confined to problems. The quality of life of such people can be greatly improved when they try to see something positive in each day. No conflict of interests was declared by the authors.

An integrative review on cadaver practice among undergraduate nursing students

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the experiences and perceptions of nursing students related to their cadaver practice through an integrative review.Methods: An integrative review was conducted using Whittemore and Knafl’s framework published in 2005. The key words, “nursing students & cadaver” and “nursing students & anatomy” were used to search peer-reviewed publications in six databases. Among 373 searched articles, 15 articles were selected after excluding articles that did not meet the inclusion criteria. The literature quality was moderate (levels C and B).Results: The results from the 15 selected studies were integrated and classified into seven themes: “anxiety and discomfort,” “gratitude and respect for donors,” “dignity of the human body and life,” “acceptance of death,” “getting closer to the nursing profession,” “enhanced understanding and memory of the human body” and “enhancement of learning motivation.”Conclusion: In conclusion, cadaver practice provided an opportunity to form values about the dignity of life and death, helped nursing students understand the human body, and motivated them to approach the profession of nursing. It is suggested to develop integrated cadaver practice programs that incorporate bioethics, spiritual nursing, and the vocation of the nursing profession.
