“YEŞİL” YOKSULLUK, ÇEVRESEL ADALET VE SOSYAL HİZMET

19. yüzyılın son çeyreğinde
 profesyonel bir meslek olarak temelleri atılan sosyal hizmet, günümüzde eski ve
 yeni zorluklarla mücadele ederek yoluna devam etmektedir. Yoksullukla mücadele
 başta olmak üzere çocuk istismarı ve çocuk koruma, ruh sağlığı, yaşlı bakımı, engellilerin
 rehabilitasyonu ve sağlık destek hizmetleri gibi alanlar geçmişten bugüne devam
 eden mücadele ve müdahale alanlarını oluşturmaktadır. Ancak bu yüzyılda iklim
 değişikliği, doğal afetler (erozyon, heyelan, kuraklık ve sel nedeniyle göç),
 küresel ısınma, yaşanabilir doğal alanların yok olması, ekilebilir tarım
 alanlarının tahribatını içeren ekolojik krizler mesleğin gündemine yeni mücadele
 ve müdahale alanlarını da dahil etmiştir. Söz konusu ekolojik kriz ve ortaya
 çıkardığı yapısal sorunlar birey, grup ve toplum düzeyindeki ilişkileri
 etkilemesi nedeniyle başta sosyal hizmet olmak üzere pek çok akademik disiplini
 ve mesleği de yakından ilgilendirmektedir. Öte yandan bu çalışmanın çıkış
 noktasında yer alan yoksulluk sorunu, sosyal hizmet alanında en sık karşılaşılan
 toplumsal sorunlardan biridir. Geçmişte yoksulluk sorunu ekonomik temelde ele
 alınırken bugün modernitenin ve küreselleşmenin de etkisiyle insani yoksulluk odağında
 çok boyutlu bir yapı içinde ele alınmaktadır. Bu çalışmada sosyal hizmet bakış
 açısıyla insan türünün bir parçası olduğu doğa ile arasındaki diyaloğa dayalı
 ilişkinin; tahakküm ve hiyerarşiye dayalı monolog bir yapıya dönüşmesi
 sonucunda oluşabilecek birey, grup ve toplum düzeyindeki sorunların neler
 olabileceği irdelenmektedir. Bu çalışmada ayrıca insani yoksulluk, çevresel
 adalet ve hak kavramları ekseninde sosyal hizmetin geçmişi, bugünü ve geleceği de
 ele alınıp tartışılmaktadır. Çalışmanın sonuç bölümünde bu çerçevede sosyal
 hizmet uzmanlarına düşen görev ve sorumluluklar da etik veya hukuki konuların
 ötesinde bir varoluş sorunu olarak ele alınarak ekolojik adalet ve/veya anayasa
 tartışmaları bağlamında değerlendirilmektedir. 

Questions of medical and social examination and rehabilitation of disabled people with the consequences of military trauma

The expert characteristics of the clinical and functional status of the military personnel for the first time recognized as disabled in 2016 because of «military trauma» are considered. It is known that the objectification of methods of expert rehabilitation diagnosis in the implementation of medical and social expertise in the establishment of disability and the development of individual programs of rehabilitation/habilitation of disabled people-one of the main objectives of the concept of «Improvement of the state system of medical and social expertise and rehabilitation of disabled people.» In accordance with this provision, clinical and expert indicators are analyzed, confirmed by the data of expert rehabilitation diagnostics, allowing to objectify the impaired functions and structures of the body of soldiers who have received a military injury, when examined in the Bureau of medical and social expertise. The main clinical and functional syndromes that have expert significance and have influenced the adoption of expert decisions in the establishment of disability groups are presented. The article describes in detail the contraindicated and shown factors of the recommended labor activity, which should be guided in the employment of disabled people from among the former soldiers. The use of evidence-based recommendations in practice makes it possible to determine the forms and conditions of employment in normal or specially created working conditions for the rational employment and socialization of servicemen who have become disabled. Referring to the updated normative legal acts, taking into account the principle of inseparability of the medical and social examination procedure from the formation of individual programs of rehabilitation/habilitation of disabled persons, the authors illustrate the possibilities of professional rehabilitation and employment of military personnel who have different groups of disability due to «military trauma».

Inclusive sound and music serious games in a large‐scale responsive environment

AbstractIn the last years, applications based on large‐scale responsive environments have risen up as a convincing aid for learning simple as well as complex concepts in a playful way. The full‐body interaction that characterizes these environments supports different learning styles and it is particularly fit for inclusion of participants with disabilities, due to its richness in emotional engagement and ease of use. This paper contains a short review of some serious games developed on a large‐scale responsive environment and devoted to music teaching and training of blind children. Authors present technology‐enhanced learning activities with the employment of three experimental applications: Harmonic Walk for teaching tonal harmony and melody harmonization; Jazz Improvisation for music re‐composition and score parts listening; and Following the Cuckoo Sound for helping blind children to walk straight. Quantitative and qualitative results report a great user engagement and a satisfying amount of successful records in formal task activities, which encourage further research to enhance education through large‐scale responsive environments applications and full‐body interaction. Moreover, the experience gained with blind children emphasizes the inclusive opportunities of these environments for the training and rehabilitation of disabled people.
