In 2014, California passed Assembly Bill 966, which required condom access for persons incarcerated in all 35 California state prisons (33 men’s and 2 women’s prisons). The California Correctional Health Care Services and the Sexually Transmitted Disease Control Branch and the Office of AIDS of the California Department of Public Health collaborated in a prison administration–led multidisciplinary implementation workgroup. Our workgroup, representing public health, correctional health, legal and legislative affairs, labor relations, and prison staff members, participated in 4 planning meetings during May–September 2015. We surveyed prison staff members and incarcerated men to identify and address potential challenges; conceptualized a tamper-resistant condom dispenser; developed educational materials, frequently asked questions for staff members, and fact sheets for the public; and conducted forums for custody and medical staff members at each prison. Key lessons learned included the need for high-level custody support, engagement of labor unions early in the decision-making process, and flexibility within defined parameters for sites to determine best practices given their unique institutional population, culture, and physical layout. Condom access was initiated at 4 prisons in July 2015 and expanded incrementally to the remaining 29 men’s prisons through July 2016. A total of 243 563 condoms were accessed in the men’s prisons, for an average of 354 condoms per 1000 population per month. The start-up dispenser cost was $69 825 (735 dispensers at $95 each). We estimated an annual condom cost of $0.60 per person. Although staff members and incarcerated men expressed concern that this legislation would condone sex and provide repositories for contraband, no serious adverse incidents involving condoms were reported. California demonstrated that condom access is a safe, low-cost intervention with high uptake for a large correctional system and provided a replicable implementation model for other states. Prison condom programs have the potential to decrease transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among incarcerated persons and their communities, which are often disproportionately affected by STIs, HIV, and other chronic diseases.

Judgment of the Court given by Thorpe LJ.</p><p align="left">This case arose as a spin-off from what on the face of it was a relatively straightforward application for care orders, made by the Social Services Department of the London Borough of Hackney (‘LBH’), in respect of eight siblings. The case is of interest to mental health lawyers by reason of the attempt of LBH to use creatively elements of the Mental Health Act 1983 (‘the 1983 Act’) regime to plug apparent gaps in the powers available to local authorities and the courts in the<br />Children Act 1989. This entailed the court’s consideration of various provisions of the 1983 Act, as they relate to persons with learning difficulties. This case will also be of interest to family lawyers, as the boundary between family law and mental health law, such as it is, was also considered by the Court of Appeal. Moreover, it is worth remembering that the backdrop to all judicial activity in the field of mental health law at present is the on-going root-and-branch reform of this area of law. As will be discussed below, this case adds to a growing number that highlight<br />deficiencies in the operation of the current regime as it applies to adults with learning difficulties. Finally, although there is little direct discussion to be found in the law report of the judgment of the Court of Appeal, this case raises broader issues of human rights; a topic that none can afford to ignore in light of the Human Rights Act 1998.</p>

Language plays an important role in our life. Through language, we can transmit messages, communicate ideas, thoughts, and opinions. It is realized that language as the main tool for communication. In everyday communication, we are attuned not primary to the sentences we utter to one another, but also the speech act of those utterances. Communication will be successful when there is no misinterpretation. Communication can be held based on the situations, means that different speech situations will show the use of different speech acts too. One of the speech situations which can give us an idea of the usage of speech acts is in the health care sector. This study aimed at analyzing speech act in verbal communication between healthcare professionals and patients in Public Health Centre Branch Kerobokan Kelod.This study used the descriptive qualitative method with a total sampling technique. The population and sample of this study were the entire healthcare professional in Public Health Centre.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: representation as a civil law relationship has long been an area of particular research interest, which can be explained by its special significance as one of the guarantors of the subject's right to free participation in civil circulation. At the same time, there have developed certain stereotypes in scientific research concerning the legal relationship of representation, the doctrine lacks a holistic approach to the study of representation as a relationship under civil law, which indicates the necessity of developing such an approach. Taking into consideration the dynamic development of procedural legislation, the legal relationship of representation is also undergoing changes, especially in relation to civil and family law relations. Purpose: to develop a holistic view on the current civil and family law regulation of substantive and procedural representation taking into account new changes in Russian procedural legislation. Methods: empirical methods of comparison, description, interpretation; theoretical methods of formal and dialectical logic; specific scientific methods: legal-dogmatic, comparative legal, method of interpretation of legal norms. Results: the study showed that representation should be considered as an organizational and informational relationship regulated by civil law within the framework of which the representative exercises the authority received from the represented person to perform on behalf of this person in relation to third parties legal actions and closely related to them factual actions entailing the emergence, change or termination of the rights and obligations of the person represented. Accordingly, a stable closed set of legal rules regulating this social relationship is called the institution of representation. Conclusions: representation as a legal relationship can be classified by types and forms: types are distinguished according to the branch affiliation (substantive or procedural law), while forms are distinguished according to the grounds for the emergence of the representative authority (representation by virtue of law, including based on an administrative act; contractual representation; representation from the situation). The legal relationship of representation is different from similar legal relationships (commission legal relationship, agency service, legal participation, activities of a signer’s assistant, activities of a mediator).

Full textAbstract:
The article examines the ontology of the autonomy of family relations and its impact on the independence of family law as a branch of law. It is proved that the independence of family law as a branch of law, due by the nature of family relations and their autonomy, determines the need to regulate family relations by an independent codified normative legal act containing material norms of law. Thus, it is concluded that the branch autonomy does not determine the existence of a separate system of courts for the settlement of disputes connected with application of norms of law and an independent justice. Since all family disputes can be considered by courts of General jurisdiction within the existing types of legal proceedings (claim proceedings, special proceedings, writ proceedings), the creation of specialized family courts in the Russian Federation is impractical. However, for the proper consideration and resolution of family disputes, based on the specifics of their subject composition, the subject of dispute, the nature of relationships, degree of procedural activity of the court, it is necessary to supplement Civil procedural code of the Russian Federation separate chapters containing the rules governing the procedural peculiarities of consideration of some categories of family disputes.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores how the method of delivery for early intervention services impacts perceptions of empowerment among families. Analysis of data collected from 270 randomly sampled families participating in the State of Michigan's Early On (Part H of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) program suggests two paths by which empowerment is effected. Along one path, implementation of program components via a family-centered framework appears to help increase empowerment. An alternative path models how family-centered delivery may help to build a family's support network. This is related to reduced stress and increased empowerment. Findings support programs emphasizing family-centered methods of service delivery.

Full textAbstract:
Poor adherence is one of the main causes of unintended pregnancies among women of reproductive age. The purpose of this study was to establish the predictors of contraceptive adherence. A total of 211 women were enrolled and interviewed while seeking family planning services at reproductive health Uganda facility. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the association between adherence and the independent variables. Most of the respondents (83.4%) were currently using a hormonal contraceptive. Of the participants who were using contraceptives, 43% had discontinued use at some time for reasons other than pregnancy, 53.1% reported having short birth interval less than 2 years, and 7% reported having more children than desired. The predictors of poor contraceptive adherence included lower education level (OR 2.484, 95% CI 1.403–4.397) and lower self-efficacy (OR 1.698, 95% CI 1.959–3.004). Lack of male partner support (OR 2.014, 95% CI 1.140–3.557) and low education level (OR 2.103, 95% CI 1.196–3.699) were predictive of reporting short birth interval less than 2 years. The findings point to a number of predictors of contraceptive adherence that may have implications for designing and evaluating family planning programs. In the Ugandan context, studies to evaluate effective adherence improvement strategies are needed.

Transforming family planning rights into practices is not an easy task especially in a developing nation like Nepal where society is patriarchal and literacy is low. Besides, coverage and quality of reproductive health services and active involvement of the community is crucial in the transformation. For properly addressing these challenges, all the sectors that provide family planning services need to act on advocacy, creating demand, reshaping service delivery, sustainability (financial and self-reliance) and high level political and financial commitments are necessary.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/hprospect.v12i2.9874 Health Prospect Vol.12(2) 2013: 42-46

Full textAbstract:
The implementation of the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA), how employees use such leave, and its effect on pharmacy service provision were examined in a national survey of 494 hospital pharmacy directors (16.2% useable response rate). Although there is some discrepancy regarding how to calculate the 12 weeks of leave time, at least 18.7% of respondents were found to allow less time than allowed by law. In general, respondents indicated that men used FMLA benefits only about 20% less than women. About 20% of respondents indicated that they were unable to expand departmental services with current staffing levels due to the impact of the FMLA and another 50% reported that they were only able to continue usual pharmacy services by hiring additional staff or requesting that employees work overtime. Strategies that respondents used to deal with perceived problems caused by staff usage of FMLA benefits are presented. Employers appear to interpret and enforce the FMLA inconsistently. Pharmacists and pharmacy managers need to obtain a better understanding of their rights and responsibilities under this Act.

BackgroundNHS mental health services are under pressure due to chronic underfunding and constrained resources. The Health & Social Care Act implemented an extensive restructure of the NHS and introduced three new legal duties: duty to arrange, promote competition, and integrate services.AimTo establish how the Health and Social Care Act 2012 affected commissioning of mental health services in England and how the duties are being fulfilled.MethodFreedom of Information (FOI) requests were sent to all 211 clinical commissioning groups in England. The number, value, and length of all contracts for mental health services were requested from 2013 to 2016 by type and name of provider; as well as a range of quality and performance data.ResultsThe FOI received a 93% response rate. CCGs commissioned between 1–127 contracts each: 65.3% of all contracts were awarded to the third sector (private for profit, not for profit, and voluntary organisations), amounting to 6% of the total value of contracts commissioned. NHS foundation trusts were awarded 25% of contracts, worth 70% of the total value of contracts. 71% of contracts had no evidence of quality monitoring.ConclusionThe high volume and low value of contracts commissioned to third sector organisations fulfils the new duty to arrange but not to integrate; showing considerable fragmentation of mental health provision. The emerging external market is a result of the Health & Social Care Act promoting diversification of the provider market. Finally, the lack of quality and performance data raises concerns over the transparency and accountability of an NHS that is increasingly being provided by companies.

Full textAbstract:
Family meetings are a cornerstone in intermediate care (IC) and a powerful tool in achieving patient participation. Staff in IC are nevertheless uncertain about how to run these meetings. This study explores the negotiation of patient participation in 14 family meetings by observing the interactions between patients, relatives, and staff. Using Goffman’s dramaturgical theory, supplemented by positioning theory, we illustrate, through four cases, how the participants negotiate their opinions by enacting positions like performer, director, audience, and nonperson. Patient participation takes place when the family meetings are characterized by respect and empathy, when the staff restore and elicit patients’ and relatives’ preferences, and there exist real alternative outcomes of the meetings. The emphasis should be on meeting structure, group composition, and preparation of the patient team. The findings are valuable for staff, patient organizations, and policy makers responsible for program development and tools to optimize patient participation within family meetings.

Since November 1989 New Zealand has had new statutory care and protection and youth justice procedures. They differ substantially from the procedures under the old 1974 act. For the majority of cases, the disposition of the child, services provided and, in the case of offending, any penalties or restitution imposed are now the responsibility of the family rather than the Court.This responsibility is exercised through a new official process called the Family Group Conference, at which the State is represented but in which the decision-making power is expected to rest largely with the family. Only if this fails or if the offence falls into the most serious of categories is the matter passed to the Court. A new group of officials has been created to co-ordinate the process. They are known as Youth Justice and Care and Protection Co-ordinators.

The family assistant’s tasks include providing emotional and instrumental support and empowering the family in its subjectivity. As raising a child with ASD poses many specific challenges (e.g. the lack of a comprehensive system of support), the assistant should be able to guide the family to the right institutions. The aim of this article is to indicate the need for family assistants to know the specificity of autism spectrum disorder. In addition, based on the ‘For Life’ Act, the available benefits and services for pregnant women, children with ASD and their families are described, and a list of support facilities is provided.

The Pacific Branch of the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, a domicile and hospital for Union veterans of the Civil War, opened west of Los Angeles in 1888 on land donated by real-estate developers. Barrett Villa Tract, a development of small plots later renamed Sawtelle, was established outside the south gate of the Soldiers’ Home. There veterans bought homes where they could “live out” and enjoy family life while continuing to avail themselves of the services of the Pacific Branch. Sawtelle incorporated as a city in 1906 but consolidated with Los Angeles in 1922. Issues of Pacific Branch members’ votes, behavior, and community leadership mark Sawtelle’s history. Union veterans played a significant role in the development of West Los Angeles.

A national survey was distributed to families of preschool-age children who are deaf or hard of hearing in order to investigate parent's perceptions of family involvement in early intervention programs, as intended by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (formerly P.L. 99-457). Questions were organized into five categories: (1) the family's experiences with their early intervention program, (2) information provided by their early intervention program, (3) experiences in writing the Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP), (4) demographic information concerning the family, and (5) demographic information concerning the child. Surveys were returned from all geographic regions of the United States, representing parents from a wide variety of backgrounds. Results indicate that although an IFSP had not been developed by almost one-half of the respondents, those who responded reported overall satisfaction with their early intervention program.

When the history of Applied Psychology and Education Services in the 20th Century comes to be written, it is probable that the 1981 Education Act will be seen as an important milestone. The inevitable hiatus between the publishing of the regulations and the establishing of new practice provides an opportunity for reflection on the stage which Educational Psychology has reached as a branch of Applied Psychology. In particular, it would seem a good point in time to attempt some consolidation following the innovative stampede which characterised the second half of the 1970s.

The article's considerations concentrate on the characteristics of a court proceeding in minor-related cases before a family court. It is based on the model of the act on proceedings in minor-related cases from 26.10.1982r., but its all sections have undergone many changes since then. The last necessary and long awaited amendment of the act brought some important changes in court procedings in such cases. It made the proceeding in minor-related cases more uniform and increased guarantee of provided solutions, indicating expressis verbis minor's rights in a proceeding before a minor's court. However, a new law on minors is still needed that would be suited to the autonomous character of that branch of the law.

As a sharia financial institution that carries out the intermediation function, Islamic banking has a risk of financing problems. This problematic financing does not only have an impact on the low income as a business institution, and ultimately results in the soundness of the bank. Settlement of problem financing is always sought in an efficient and effective way, with a minimum level of legal risk. This settlement effort is certainly inseparable from the provisions of the Islamic banking law, the the mortgages Act and the regulations of the financial services authority. One of the efforts to resolve the problematic financing allowed by the sharia banking law, and the regulation of the financial services authority is the Foreclosed Collateral (AYDA), even though this effort is contrary to the provisions of the mortgages Act. The problems in this thesis are four, namely first, the process of binding financing that is burdened with mortgagerights at PT. Bank Syariah Bukopin, Bukittinggi Branch. Secondly, the debt settlement process in financing encumbered with Foreclosed Collateral(AYDA) at PT. Bank Syariah Bukopin, Bukittinggi Branch. Third, concerning the legal consequences of the Foreclosed Collateral (AYDA), both for the ownership of collateral and for the Bank. Fourth, regarding the realization of the sale of Foreclosed Collateral (AYDA). This thesis research uses a sociological juridical research method, which moves from the existence of norm conflicts between laws and regulations related to efforts to resolve problematic financing by means of Foreclosed Collateral (AYDA), including its implementation at PT. Bank Syariah Bukopin, Bukittinggi Branch. The approach in legal sociology research, using the legislative approach and implementation practices, is carried out by reviewing and analyzing regulations regarding AYDA and implementation and the legal consequences of AYDA implementation. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the AYDA is contrary to the mortgages Act and has legal risks in the form of null and void. For this reason, it is recommended that the implementation of the AYDA be avoided and steps taken to adjust the applicable provisions. This is to avoid not only legal risk for banks and customers as executors of existing regulations, but also to ensure the certainty and effectiveness of the laws that apply in the Republic of Indonesia.

The Act of May 28, 2020 amended the Act on Compulsory Insurance, the Insurance Guarantee Fund and the Polish Motor Insurers’ Bureau as well as the Act on Insurance and Reinsurance Activity in order to introduce efficient mechanisms and instruments to supervise foreign (re)insurance companies from the European Union Member States other than the Republic of Poland pursuing activity on the territory of Poland through a branch or in any other way under the freedom to provide services. This amendment under which the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) obtained new powers towards these entities introduced a significant change to the legal system. The KNF has been empowered to apply certain sanctions (fines) for exceeding statutory deadlines for the payment of compensation by foreign insurers, and in particular it may apply the prompt intervention mechanism if it proves necessary to remove irregularities immediately, without having to notify the competent home state supervisory authority beforehand and having to wait for its proper response. In this case, the KNF will be authorised to apply all the powers to which it is entitled towards domestic (re)insurance undertakings.

Since the monarchy pattern of ruling the state to the republic era, one aspect is common i.e taxation. The revenue required for funding the public services and maintaining law and order, various types of taxes are imposed on citizens and organisations by the competent authority. In India, the taxation of income is the exclusive power of Central Government and The Income Tax Act 1961 is the governing Act for the taxation matter. The present paper is conceptual in nature. The author wants to propose a new scheme of taxation of family income. As per the authors proposal the combine income of the family will be charged to tax instead of charging individuals income separately. The authors has given the reference of few prevailing schemes to support his claim. Before writing the conclusion of the paper, the positive and negative aspects of the new proposal are also discussed. The idea behind the new proposal is to condense the disparity in disposal income of individual and family income.

Full textAbstract:
PLUNC (palate, lung and nasal epithelium clone) proteins make up the largest branch of the BPI (bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein)/LBP (lipopolysaccharide-binding protein) family of lipid-transfer proteins. PLUNCs make up one of the most rapidly evolving mammalian protein families and exhibit low levels of sequence similarity coupled with multiple examples of species-specific gene acquisition and gene loss. Vertebrate genomes contain multiple examples of genes that do not meet our original definition of what is required to be a member of the PLUNC family, namely conservation of exon numbers/sizes, overall protein size, genomic location and the presence of a conserved disulfide bond. This suggests that evolutionary forces have continued to act on the structure of this conserved domain in what are likely to be functionally important ways.

Full textAbstract:
During the 1970s, record rates of families intersected with the US foster care system. An estimated 500,000 children resided in foster care and despite services provided, those children suffered longer stays in foster care, increased re-entry into foster care, and reduced family reunification. The foster care system actually promoted family instability and in response, the Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act [AACWA] passed. AACWA intended to promote family strength and increased service provision through the restructuring and reorganization of the child welfare system. A variety of opinions regarding the overall approach to solving this problem ultimately led to severe programmatic cuts that are still felt today, more than 30 years later. Revisiting the AACWA and providing a renewed critique yields pragmatic, feasible, and necessary policy recommendations to guide governmental bodies worldwide on behalf of the families and children they serve.

Full textAbstract:
The Family First Prevention Services Act of 2018 affords child welfare agencies a new opportunity to fund evidence-supported interventions to prevent children’s removal into public foster care and ensure that youth in care receive appropriate treatment in the least restrictive (most family-like) setting. The new law has been generally heralded as a much-needed improvement over prior funding constraints, but there are concerns among a growing number of child welfare leaders, researchers, professional membership organizations, and advocacy groups that its focus on the families of children who are at immanent risk of removal because of maltreatment is too limiting and that overreliance on strict evidence standards may contribute to racial disparity. This article considers how child welfare agencies can best leverage the opportunities presented by Family First while addressing potential barriers posed by the paucity of evidence-supported prevention programs and avoiding the unintended consequences of limiting reimbursement to only selective prevention services that meet rigorous evidence standards of effectiveness.

AbstractObjectives: To assess whether transition from the Mental Treatment Act (MTA), 1945 to the Mental Health Act (MHA), 2001 has had any impact on the clinical profile of patients in the West Galway Mental Health Services who are admitted on an involuntary basis.Methods: Data were collected from clinical records in relation to all those individuals residing in the West Galway Mental Health Services who were admitted involuntarily in the 12 months prior to and subsequent to the introduction of the MHA 2001.Results: A total of 175 individuals were included in this study (n = 91 - MTA 1945; and n = 84 - MHA 2001). No significant differences were found between the two groups in relation to demographic data, rates of involuntary detention or duration of involuntary detention. The applicant was less likely to be a family member under the MHA 2001 (54%) than the MTA 1945 (85%).Conclusions: Transition from the MTA 1945 to the MHA 2001 has had minimal impact on the admission rates, clinical profile or duration of detention of patients admitted involuntarily in the West Galway Mental Health Services.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract We describe the caregiving experiences and needs of family caregivers of older Veterans enrolled in the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). We conducted telephone surveys with 1,509 caregivers to assess caregiver health and well-being. Caregivers were primarily female, <50 years old, white, and the Veterans’ spouse. Veterans had substantial functional limitations and required care for multiple conditions, commonly, mental illness, dementia, and heart disease. On average, caregivers provided care for 9.6 hours per day and 6.7 days per week. Burden and depressive symptoms were above clinical thresholds with average scores of 21.8 (Zarit burden) and 11.5 (CES-D 10). Levels of perceived loneliness and financial strain were high. As this population needs emotional support, respite care services, social engagement, and training to care for aging Veterans, the expansion of enhanced caregiver services and supports to this population (expected in 2020) through the VA Mission Act of 2018 will be beneficial.

Full textAbstract:
Members of the septin family of proteins act as organizational scaffolds in areas of cell division and new growth in a variety of organisms. Herein, we show that in the filamentous fungusAspergillus nidulans, the septin AspB is important for cellular division, branching, and conidiation both pre- and postmitotically. AspB localizes postmitotically to the septation site with an underlying polarity that is evident as cytokinesis progresses. This localization at the septation site is dependent on actin and occurs before the cross-wall is visible. AspB localizes premitotically as a ring at sites of branching and secondary germ tube emergence. It is the only known branch site marker. In addition, AspB is found at several stages during the development of the asexual reproductive structure, the conidiophore. It localizes transiently to the vesicle/metula and metula/phialide interfaces, and persistently to the phialide/conidiospore interface. A temperature-sensitive mutant of AspB shows phenotypic abnormalities, including irregular septa, high numbers of branches, and immature asexual reproductive structures.

Full textAbstract:
This paper discusses the informal and formal provision of help and support to older people from a comparative welfare state perspective, with particular reference to the relationships between inter-generational family help and welfare state support. While the ‘substitution’ hypothesis states that the generous provision of welfare state services in support of older people ‘crowds out’ family help, the ‘encouragement’ hypothesis predicts a stimulation of family help, and the ‘mixed responsibility’ hypothesis predicts a combination of family and formal help and support. The paper reports findings from the Old Age and Autonomy: The Role of Service Systems and Inter-generational Family Solidarity (OASIS) research project. This created a unique age-stratified sample of 6,106 people aged 25–102 years from the urban populations of Norway, England, Germany, Spain and Israel. The analyses show that the total quantity of help received by older people is greater in welfare states with a strong infrastructure of formal services. Moreover, when measures of the social structure, support preferences and familial opportunity structures were controlled, no evidence of a substantial ‘crowding out’ of family help was found. The results support the hypothesis of ‘mixed responsibility’, and suggest that in societies with well-developed service infrastructures, help from families and welfare state services act accumulatively, but that in familistic welfare regimes, similar combinations do not occur.

Full textAbstract:
The branched spike phenotype is an important supernumerary spikelet trait of Triticum turgidum L. associated with the production of significantly more grains per spike, thereby offering a higher potential yield. However, the genetic basis of branch meristem (BM) development remains to be fully elucidated in wheat. TAW1, an ALOG (Arabidopsis LSH1 and Oryza G1) family gene, has been shown to function as a unique regulator in promoting BM development in rice. In this study, we found that the development pattern of the BMs of the branched spike in wheat was similar to the indeterminate BMs of rice. Moreover, phylogenetic analysis classified the ALOG genes into 12 groups. This family of genes was found to have evolved independently in eudicots and monocots and was evolutionarily conserved between wheat and rice as well as during wheat polyploidization. Furthermore, experiments revealed that TtALOG2-1A, a TAW1-homologous gene, plays a significant role in regulating the transition of indeterminate BM fate. Finally, large-scale RNA-sequencing studies and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) experiments revealed that members of the TtALOGs may act upstream of the TtMADS22, TtMADS47, and TtMADS55 genes to promote indeterminate BM activities. Our findings further knowledge on BM development in wheat.

Full textAbstract:
Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act of 2008 (FC Act) has been in place for over 10 years. However, children in kinship care continue to receive fewer benefits, supports, and access to resources due to challenges with fully integrating kinship care into the child welfare system. The current study explored the state implementation of the FC Act with a focus on kinship care. Representatives from 15 states across the U.S. completed an online survey focused on their state’s response to the FC Act, and 14 participated in a follow-up survey on their states’ plan for kinship navigator programs with the passage of the Family First Prevention Services Act of 2018 (FFPSA). The findings show that the most common change after the FC Act was observed in the Act’s mandatory requirement to identify and search for kinship caregivers. States were less likely to implement non-mandated services or programs despite their potential benefits. In response to the FFPSA, states were looking for opportunities to learn from other states implementing kinship navigator programs. More support and oversight from the federal government are needed to promote successful policy implementation at the state level. In addition, social work practitioners need to be aware of programs and legislation on kinship care in order to advocate for and ensure the well-being of children and caregivers who provide kinship care.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract To date, nearly 40 U.S. states have passed the Caregiver Advise Record and Enable (CARE) Act to support family caregivers during transitions from hospital to home. These laws require hospitals to: 1) record designated family caregivers’ name in a patient medical records during a hospital stay; 2) inform the caregiver when the patient will be discharged; 3) provide education and instructions on care tasks needed for post-hospital discharge. Transitions from hospital to home are often fraught with adverse event risk and poor continuity of care, especially for rural patients with progressive life-limiting conditions. The CARE ACT has potential to address healthcare system factors that are sometimes attributable to poor transitions in care. Our presentation focuses on preliminary findings from an intervention that provides teaching, guidance, and counseling to caregivers caring for an individual receiving palliative care in the hospital and transitioning home to a rural setting. Findings suggest that the CARE ACT may be vital, but not fully sufficient, for successful transitions. Additional targets for caregiver interventions to improve transitions for this subset of very ill patients include: 1) attend to caregivers’ medical and non-medical needs which may impact their capacity to provide care; 2) advise clinical teams to communicate truthfully about prognosis and likely outcomes when creating post-hospital plans of care; 3) encourage caregivers to identify and engage services early in the transition; 4) urge caregivers to draw on multiple sources for social support. Findings can help optimize the CARE Act implementation, particularly in states with large rural populations.

The reauthorization adds language requiring data collection on the needs of older adults and specifying additional populations on whom to focus outreach efforts, such as survivors of the Holocaust. The reauthorization also expands what States may fund with Supportive Services grants, adding screening for social isolation and traumatic brain injuries. The Act goes on extend Stated the option of funding programs to address both of these issues. The Act also requires the Assistant Secretary to study the supply and demand of home delivered and congregant meals and make recommendations to address the gap. Finally, there is expansion of the section on Caregiving, including a definition of caregiver assessment and the removal of a limit on funds States can use on support services to family caregivers.

Full textAbstract:
In 2019, twenty-five years have passed since the implementation of the first legisla-tive act introducing for the first time family doctors (primary health care physicians) into the Polish model of basic health care. The beginning of changes in this area, falling in the nineties of the last century, was not easy and has not yet been complete but will continue until the end of 2024. Over the years, not only the conditions for the education and professional development of primary health care physicians, in-cluding family doctors, have undergone changes. Also the organisational and legal forms of providing basic health services by this group of doctors were changing, as well as the conditions allowing patients, the recipients of medical services, to choose their doctor from among those with whom health insurance institutions (health insurance funds, or the National Health Fund) concluded agreements on the provision of basic health care services, or those employed by a medical entity with whom the National Health Fund signed relevant agreements.The scope of changes introduced at that time was wide, and when it started at the beginning of the 1990s it was almost impossible to achieve the goals without the support of the World Bank and the PHARE programme, alongside the efforts of the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare and three regional health care consortia (unions). Their work and contribution of each of them and their activities were sig-nificant and together constituted a solid basis for further work on the improvement of the model of a universal primary health care after 1998.The Act on primary health care of 2017 has completed the process of changes in this respect. For the first time, the objectives of the basic, or primary health care have been clearly defined. Although the implementation of each of these objectives is to serve the patient who is the recipient of the services, the value of the services pro-vided by primary care physicians varies. Family doctors (general practitioners) are to provide the patient and the patient’s family with health care services, coordinating at the same time all the stages of the process of their provision. However, the social mission of their profession is to ensure the implementation of broader tasks, such as health promotion adapted to the needs of various groups of society, education of the medical services recipients in the field of responsibility for their own health, as well as shaping pro-health awareness, setting health priorities of the population covered by care and implementation of preventive actions.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractRecent media reports have revealed a substantial number of highly-paid senior civil servants and BBC presenters have been using “off payroll” arrangements and personal services companies to reduce the tax paid on their earnings. This article examines the tax and National Insurance contribution (NIC) savings that can be had by carrying on economic activity through a company rather than as an unincorporated business or an employee. These savings derive from a combination of favourable tax and NIC rates on companies, and can be further increased through family income-splitting arrangements, as witnessed in the case of Jones v Garnett. Several possible reforms to address the distortions and inequity in the present tax and NIC regimes in favour of companies are considered, including amendments to the IR35 “disguised employment” regime and the anti-income-splitting rules known as the settlement provisions. Applying the new statutory general anti-abuse rule, which the Government plans to introduce in Finance Act 2013, is another possible approach. The preferred option, however, is to deal with the root problem and pursue closer alignment of the tax and NIC treatment of activity carried on in different legal forms.

Act no. 142/2015 highlights the importance of children out-of-home being placed in a family context. However, foster care continues to be an almost absent component in the Portuguese childcare system. In 2017, it corresponded to just 3% of out-of-home care. This research aims to contribute to the understanding of the reasons for becoming a foster family. It adopted a qualitative approach, using carers’ narrative interviews and practitioners semi-structured interviews, inspired by grounded theory. Foster family motivation is rooted in altruism, affection for children and sensitivity to maltreatment. These factors, as well as personal life course and contact with out-of-home care, induce a predisposition to become a foster family. The quality of the support services and the care professionals’ performance also reveal key elements.

Purpose Positive behaviour support (PBS) is currently considered best practice for managing challenging behaviour in young people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. A key principle of PBS is that all members of the person’s support network participate in the assessment and intervention. It is, therefore, important to understand what factors act as facilitators or barriers to family engagement; however, research in this area is limited. The purpose of this paper is to conduct a novel piece of qualitative research analysis into experiences of family members of young people who have received family-based PBS. Design/methodology/approach Eight parents of a young person with an intellectual or developmental disability who had received PBS were interviewed about their experiences and factors they found helpful and hindering in terms of their engagement. Thematic analysis allowed a detailed and robust interpretation of the qualitative data. Findings Five superordinate themes were identified, namely, PBS is more than just strategies, considering the family context, the therapist/family relationship, acknowledging challenges and the ongoing nature of the problem and supporting family member change. Research limitations/implications Although research was rigorously conducted, the small sample size mean findings should be considered preliminary. Originality/value The literature related to family engagement in PBS is limited and largely based on the opinions of professionals. This study identified factors that parents themselves felt were helpful and hindering in terms of their engagement and offers practical suggestions for services and future research.

Government efforts toward the prevention, detection, and investigation of child abuse and neglect are carried out through the United States’ child welfare system—a complex web of programs that provide family assistance and promote child safety. Most funding for these activities is split among federal, state, and local governments and comprises specific child welfare–related funding (such as Titles IV-E and IV-B of the Social Security Act) and non–child welfare funding that is spent on programs that support poor and disadvantaged families (Medicaid and TANF). I provide an overview of these funding streams that finance the child welfare system, review the federal legislation since 1970 that has led to the current funding structure, and end with a discussion of how the Family First Prevention Services Act of 2018 has the potential to create better outcomes for children and families by promoting prevention activities and program support with strong evidence of success.

Full textAbstract:
SummaryThe Human Rights Act was introduced into UK law in 2000 and must be considered in all cases, including mental health review tribunals. Article 8 (the right to respect for private and family life) comprises two parts and has embedded in it ‘tests’ that must be applied when assessing any interference with this protected right. A review of Article 8 case law reveals how it is used and how it can be applied in a myriad of clinical situations. Because it involves the right to respect for private life, and is in a sense individualised, it will potentially affect people (both patients and staff) in the mental health services in a variety of ways. Article 8 has implications not only for patients but also for clinicians and healthcare organisations.

Successful leaders play a complex role. Leaders may manipulate followers to accomplish goals since they have authority and power to influence. Interestingly, Paternalistic leadership has qualities of attributes not only on the reactions of dyadic systems and followers but also subordinates’ attitudes and behavior. Paternalistic leadership flows from a particular cultural context. A family environment is created by paternalistic leaders in the management system. They display 'goodwill' and act as a leader in family approaches towards staff. Currently, there is no specifically conducted gender-based research at the university level specifically to analyze the perceptions of paternalistic leadership on job performance and trust among the staff of the university. Therefore, this study focused primarily on the perceptions of paternalistic leadership behavior among staff members at the university level. A total of 254 respondents from UiTM Perlis staffs (male, n = 125; female n = 129) from four departments [Student Affairs, academic affairs, administration, and academic staff (lecturers)] completed a questionnaire pack assessing the study variables. Results revealed that (i) there are significant correlations in the dimension of paternalistic leadership, job performance, and trust perceived by staff at UiTM Perlis Branch, (ii) there are no significant differences in the dimension of paternalistic leadership, job performance, and trust between gender by staff at UiTM Perlis Branch. In conclusion, a leader who can create a better work environment can enhance staff competencies and influence trust in them.

Full textAbstract:
The rewards employees receive in exchange for their labour play an important role in influencing their levels of job satisfaction and organisational commitment, and ultimately in retaining their services. The issues surrounding rewards are, however, complex in the field of family business. The primary objective of this paper is to investigate the influence of selected extrinsic rewards, namely, compensation, promotion opportunities and job security, on the levels of jobsatisfaction and ultimately on the levels of organisational commitment of nonfamily employees working in family businesses. Structural equation modelling was used to assess the hypothesised relationships, and the results show that compensation and job security are significantly and positively related to job satisfaction. Job satisfaction was found to be significantly and positively related to organisational commitment and also found to act as a mediator between these extrinsic rewards and organisational commitment. Establishing the perspectives that nonfamily employees have of the rewards given to them by the family businesses in which they work, provides family business owners with valuable insights into attracting and retaining this valuable stakeholder group.
