Full textAbstract:
The article analyses the peculiarities of social adaptation of Ukrainian prisoners of war in Germany, particularly its legal, political and social aspects. The problem of repatriation of POWs was discussed at the international conferences and was regulated by various armistices and treaties (the Armistice of Compiègne, the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, the Treaty of Versailles). After German surrender in the war and the demise of its empire, POWs of all nationalities acquired the status of interned persons, which notably improved their condition. At the same time, former POWs faced difficult social and economic life conditions in Germany, particularly food shortages. Besides, late 1918 and early 1919 saw repatriation commissions of various states starting their activity in Germany. They included the Ukrainian repatriation commission, which helped return several tens of thousands of people to Ukraine. Therefore, within the dichotomy faced by Ukrainian soldiers in Germany (repatriation against a decision to stay in Germany as political emigrants with subsequent adaptation to life conditions in this country), most long-term captives decided to return. In the wake of dramatic geopolitical changes in Europe and the world, repatriation to the homeland was regarded by most as the best option. On the other hand, some Ukrainians decided to stay in Germany for a longer period. They became witnesses to considerable changes in German political, economic and civil life. The Germans were suspicious of former POWs staying in the country, regarding them as competitors on the job market and as “aliens” in general. However, despite all obstacles some “brave men” managed to successfully adapt in Germany and even create families, becoming a part of their new country’s society.

Abstract. The present study investigated culture- and gender-differences in mother- and father-child reminiscing with 3-year old daughters and sons in urban middle-class families from Costa Rica, Mexico, and Germany. Families of the three contexts were overall similarly elaborative and children contributed a similar amount of memory elaborations. However, context specific use of different elaborative elements related to specifi c elaborative styles. Compared to the Latin American families, conversations in German families were least socially oriented. Across contexts, parents talked more about social aspects with daughters than with sons. Costa Rican mothers and fathers were equally elaborative, whereas German and Mexican mothers were more elaborative than fathers. We found similarities but also specifi cities in parent-child conversations about the past across these contexts with similar educational backgrounds.Resumen. El presente estudio investigó diferencias según cultura y género en las conversaciones sobre el pasado de niños y niñas de 3 años de edad con sus progenitores en contextos urbanos en Costa Rica, México y Alemania. En los tres contextos, el nivel de elaboración general de las conversaciones fue similar y los niños produjeron una cantidad similar de recuerdos. Sin embargo, se encontraron diferencias culturales en algunos aspectos de elaboración. En comparación con las familias latinoamericanas, las conversaciones de las familias alemanas estaban orientadas socialmente en menor medida. En todos los contextos, los progenitores hablaron más acerca de aspectos sociales con las hijas que con los hijos. Padres y madres costarricenses evidenciaron niveles de elaboración similares, mientras que las madres alemanas y mexicanas mostraron niveles de elaboración mayores que los padres. Nuestros hallazgos indican la presencia de similitudes y diferencias en las conversaciones sobre el pasado en familias con niveles educativos similares provenientes de distintos contextos culturales.

Zusammenfassung Während Kindertageseinrichtungen primär auf Kinder ausgerichtet sind, haben Zentren für Familien die gesamte Familie im Blick. Im Idealfall bilden sie einen Knotenpunkt in einem nachbarschaftlich orientierten Netzwerk. In den letzten Jahren haben entsprechende Ansätze deutschlandweit an Bedeutung gewonnen. Welche empirische Evidenz gibt es für ihre Wirkungen auf Kinder, Eltern und Familien? Dieser Frage widmet sich dieser Beitrag, um der Politik Anhaltspunkte für eine Weiterentwicklung von Angeboten der Kinder- und Jugendhilfe in diese Richtung zu geben. Insbesondere auf der Basis empirischer Studien aus dem anglo-amerikanischen Raum können für Programme, welche Kinder und Eltern adressieren, tatsächlich kurz- bis langfristige Effekte auf Kinder und Eltern nachgewiesen werden. Deutsche Begleitstudien von Zentren für Familien fokussieren dagegen eher auf andere Aspekte der Implementation oder auch der Sozialraumentwicklung. Sie sollten um mehr Wirkungsstudien, welche sich mit den direkten Effekten auf die Entwicklung von Kindern und Familien befassen, ergänzt werden. Abstract: Centres For Families – National And International Evidence While day care centres for children are primarily geared towards children, centres for families focus on the whole family. Ideally, they form a hub in a neighbourhood-oriented network. In recent years, such approaches have gained in importance throughout Germany. What empirical evidence is there for their impact on children, parents and families? This article is dedicated to this question in order to provide policymakers with pointers for the further development of child and youth welfare services. Particularly on the basis of empirical studies from the Anglo-American countries, short to long-term effects on children and parents can be demonstrated when evaluating programs that address children and parents. German evaluation studies on the activities of centres for families tend to focus more on other aspects, such as implementation or social space development. They should be supplemented by studies that are related to the direct effects of these centres on the development of children and families.

The article shows main aspects of socio-cultural activity with children and teenagers of migrants in German public libraries. The relevance of the problem is connected with the difficulties faced by the system of preschool and school education. Along with this, the library is considered as a social institution, which tasks include raising language and reading competences of migrant children. The paper analyzes forms, content and tasks of library work, which are differentiated based on age criteria. Alongside with the analysis of practical examples, it summarizes statistical data obtained in the course of survey carried on by the author among 26 German public libraries in October - December, 2015.

Full textAbstract:
In the parish of Belm, Northwest Germany, population trebled between 1650 and 1830, but the number of peasant holdings remained stable. A new class of people without real property came into existence. Protoindustrialization in the form of linen production supplemented incomes from agriculture. This article outlines social differentials in demographic behavior and household structure. It looks at social mobility and the selection of mates. Furthermore, it explores the economic and non-economic ties that bound together propertied and propertyless families. Finally, it asks how important kinship was for propertied peasants and for landless people. It suggests that kin relationships across classes or within class may have been a factor relevant in the formation of classes.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTThe aim of the current study is to examine the associations between the quality of relationships and life satisfaction of older mothers in Estonia, Germany, Russia and the People's Republic of China, based on the assumptions of the Family Change Theory. The role of satisfaction with family life as the probable mediating factor is considered. Estonian older mothers reported the least admiration and intimacy in their relationships with their adult daughters, and the least satisfaction with family life compared to German, Russian and Chinese mothers. German older mothers perceived the most admiration from their adult daughters and were the most satisfied with both their family and general life. Russian older mothers were the least satisfied with their general life compared to their counterparts in Estonia, Germany and China. The results from the Structural Equation Modelling showed that the relationship between satisfaction with family life and general life satisfaction was statistically significant in all countries except Russia. The satisfaction with family life as a mediating factor might strengthen the positive and negative aspects of intergenerational relationships on the life satisfaction of older mothers. The findings indicated that the emotional closeness and intergenerational relationships in families during the process of transition and globalisation play an important role in the life satisfaction of older mothers in these four countries.

Full textAbstract:
After the Second World War, Germany made a breakthrough in heavy industry, especially in the sectors of iron and steel. Nevertheless, as a result of significant labor shortage in the country, labor agreements were signed with Italy in 1955, Spain and Greece in 1960 respectively. Subsequently, a labor agreement was signed between Turkey and Germany on 30 October 1961. Following this, there has been an intense migration from Turkey to Germany and the Turkish population in the country has reached 3 million in the 60th year of migration. At the present time, the Turkish population in Germany has extended as far as the fourth generation.In this case study, which is one of the qualitative research methods, as a result of the interviews carried out with men and women over the age of 50 who immigrated from Zonguldak to Germany between 1961-1980 and lived there, the socio-economic and socio-economic effects of the migration to Germany in the Zonguldak province and the cultural aspects and social and spatial reflections were investigated.In this study, it is deduced that those who immigrated from the Zonguldak province to Germany went to the Ruhr region through the Turkish Employment Agency (İŞKUR), and they were basically employed in the mining sector, iron and steel and machinery industry, and the second and third generation individuals who were born in Germany substantially preferred the service sector. It is also found out that almost all of the migrating families preferred Turkey for investment; they preferred to invest in real estate such as housing and land with their earnings; the children of the migrating families continued to have a sense of belonging to Turkey, albeit at a diminishing pace, but the ties of their grandchildren were severed.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes the specifics of the legal regulation of social protection of civil servants in Germany. The main laws of Germany in this area are given. The content and significance of the legislative provisions on the social protection of civil servants in the modern conditions of information communications are detailed. The positive aspects of the legal regulation of this area in comparison with the domestic experience are indicated. A list of proposals for borrowing such points from national social legislation has been formulated. This is, first of all, provision of their material and social needs, which arise in connection with the restrictions they experience in connection with the performance of tasks and functions of the state. In connection with the fact that a civil servant performs tasks and functions of the state in his official activities, the state must take responsibility for providing him with everything necessary. That is why the principle of retention, according to the German model, should become one of the key principles of public service. Remuneration of civil servants should become more progressive and take into account a wider range of aspects that affect the amount of wages. The importance of each of them for improving the legal regulation of social protection of civil servants in Ukraine is argued. Social protection of civil servants in Ukraine is only partially related to various social risks. The legislation of European states provides for a slightly narrower range of restrictions that civil servants are subject to, defines a slightly wider range of social guarantees, the issues of restrictions and social guarantees are better balanced, and most importantly - the legislation of other countries allows forming a correct understanding of the essence of social protection of civil servants, as a guarantee of their maintenance and maintenance of their families at an adequate level for civil servants to perform their duties professionally. This is the key difference in the legal regulation of social protection of civil servants in Ukraine and European countries, and it is this that must be changed first of all in the modern conditions of information communications and European integration of Ukraine for the further development of this institutionin our country.

Introduction. The article is devoted to the financing of NKVD employees evacuated in the first year of the Great Patriotic War from the three Union Republics of the USSR to the Mordovian ASSR. Materials and Methods. Within the framework of this study, financial documents located in the Central State Archive of the Republic of Mordovia were used. When analyzing the research materials, historical-typological and historical-genetic methods were used, as well as a micro-historical approach was applied. Results. The main task set in the study is to determine the costs of financing the maintenance of evacuated employees was based on the involvement of financial reports of the internal affairs bodies of the Mordovian ASSR. The structure of the monetary maintenance of the evacuated employees was revealed, the initial documents on the basis of which monetary payments were made were determined. By dividing the evacuees into conditional groups, it was possible to consider financial costs by employee categories. The analysis of payment orders from previous duty stations also allowed us to draw important conclusions. Discussion and Conclusions. The study confirmed the social nature of the Soviet state, which sought even in the most difficult period of the Great Patriotic War to provide the families of evacuees with means to live until they returned to service. It is important to note that the employees of the internal affairs bodies were important specialists for the state, and it did everything to save these personnel, withdrawn from the attack of Germany and its allies, as much as possible.

Goal. Analysis of the peculiarities of family policy in European countries, such as France, Sweden, Germany, Great Britain. Method. The study is based on general scientific methods, namely, analysis and synthesis, descriptive, analytical. And also socio-geographical - comparative-geographical. Results. Family policy in European countries focuses on the life position of young people, promotes gender equality, creates opportunities to combine work, education and family activities through a well-developed infrastructure. The establishment of the modern family model in which both parents work and the expansion of public education and services for children and families reduce relatively high child poverty, create new jobs in services, and reduce social inequality. Although European countries pursue a common family-gender strategy, they also have their own traditional model of family protection. The Scandinavian model is characterized by comprehensive support for working parents with young children (under the age of three) through a combination of material mechanisms, holidays and wide access to childcare facilities. An important aspect is the policy of gender equality and women's integration in the labor market. The main source of funding for family policy - taxes. Anglo-Saxon - is characterized by deliberately less financial support from families by the state, giving priority to low-income families. The main idea is the non-interference of the state in family and marriage processes and ensuring the well-being of families through the general development of the welfare of society. "Napoleonic" - use intangible forms of support: tax benefits, targeted loans. France has the highest level of state support for families with children and support for working women. The principle of subsidiary security is professed. Taxes and financial contributions are used. The German fiscal system does not encourage couples to work equally, as the tax burden on domestic work is much higher for two full-time employees. Parental leave allows mothers to leave the labor market for up to three years for one child. Scientific novelty. Analysis and comparison of family policy features in European countries. Practical significance. Implementation of family policy measures in domestic practice based on the experience of European countries, choosing the most successful option. The best option is to improve the demographic situation in the country.

Full textAbstract:
The article focuses on redefining the social genesis of ressentiment. The concept of ressentiment, widely used today in the form shaped by Friedrich Nietzsche and fine-grained by Max Scheler, turns out to be both overly and insufficiently connected to the social structure of the societies, for the analysis of which it is used. The reason is that although Nietzsche’s and Scheler’s ideas about ressentiment refer to the socio-structural aspects of its genesis, they do so in a contradictory and incorrect manner. Without noticing their own contradictions, both thinkers elevate genesis of ressentiment to the moral standards of the lower classes. Using the examples of younger heirs and bastards of the medieval aristocratic families, as well as the examples of other relatively privileged social groups, the author shows that one should rather seek the genesis of ressentiment within higher social strata. At the same time, the author shows that the moral feelings and behavioral strategies germane to ressentiment can be adopted and are adopted by representatives of other classes. In this form, it attracts attention in times when the oppressed classes obtain real opportunities to change their position, or, at the very least, they receive reasons to believe that they could achieve more if such an opportunity had been given to them.

Full textAbstract:
143 Background: Specialized ambulatory palliative care (SAPV) allows patients with incurable diseases and limited life expectancy to be cared for until death in their familiar surroundings. In Germany, these services must be prescribed by a physician. Little is known about structure, organization and work pattern within the SAPV teams. Methods: An online survey was carried out between Sept. 2013 and March 2014 with 124 physicians in Germany with regard to aspects related to physicians’ qualification, networks and palliative care teams. Aim of this survey was to evaluate status quo of SAPV from physicians´ viewpoint. Results: All 124 respondents were enrolled in SAPV; 18.3% of them (n=22) were on a direct contract with a health insurance provider. An additional qualification for palliative medicine and for pain therapy was reported by 96.7% and 21.5% of the physicians, respectively. In average, 11.6 physicians are organized in a SAPV-network. The networks comprise general practitioners (in 88.6% of the networks) anesthesiologists (in 62.3%), hematologists/oncologists (in 57.9%) and internists (in 43.9% of the networks) as well as a large proportion of non-medical professions such as pastors, pharmacists, social workers, psychologists and nurses. In most cases, SAPV networks are linked to one or more medical practices, hospitals or welfare institutions. 96% of the respondents assessed the cooperation within the network as “very good”/“good”. Patients admitted to SAPV were mostly suffering from cancer, but also from cardiovascular, neurological and respiratory diseases. The mean duration of care was 26.6 days; 81.4% of them could die in familiar domestic surroundings. On average, one physician is treating 9.7 SAPV-patients at the same time. Documentation requires 25.9% of time spent for medical care. Problems concerning reimbursement were reported by 75.8% of respondents. Conclusions: This survey provides the status quo of the German SAPV concept. Physicians enrolled in SAPV are highly qualified for palliative care and pain therapy. SAPV is a domain of outpatient care sector. While interdisciplinary cooperation within the SAPV networks is good, documentation and reimbursement remains a problem.

The reasons that prompted the Albanian exodus were numerous and varied. While if we take a look on its consequences will see that they have a dual nature. Among the positive aspects of exodus we can mention the fact that it helped Albania economically meeting the needs of a considerable part of the population in the moment of political and social crisis transition enabling the survival of many families. On the other hand it had a negative impact not only becouse of spending vital energies of the nation abroad, but also because it led to the formation of a bad opinion about Albanians, opinion spread almost all over Europe, especially where their presence was bigger. For this reason we got to study precisely the image of immigrant in two countries ( Italy and Greece ), where they have the largest flow of migration in 1990-2000. We should note that in recent years in both countryes in Italy and in Greece prevails the same closed mentality against foreigners. Also it is accompanied ( especially in Italy with the malfunctioning of the structure that handles issues of migratory movements, not like in the other states like Germany, England or France where, besides the small number of immigrants, there were laws and better functioning of the state that associated with emigration’s problems. On the other hand we can say that in this period, whether in Greece the fortunes of the Albanian immigrants depended from the relations of the Greek-Albanian state, in Italy they depend mainly on the behavior of immigrants.

Full textAbstract:
Friedrich von Schelling was a significant cultural influence when Henrik Ibsen lived in Germany in the 1850s. However, because of Schelling’s Naturphilosophie, which stood out as irreconcilable with the scientific philosophy of the positivists, Schelling came to be more and more neglected after the mid-nineteenth century. His pronounced idealism, belief in God, and metaphysical comments were branded ‘old-fashioned’ soon after his death. Today, Schelling is mentioned in contexts where ideas about ‘mindfulness’ are of importance. In 1979 a clinic for Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) was founded and although originally articulated as an element of Buddhism, it is pointed out by committed practitioners that there is nothing inherently religious about mindfulness. It is however about integrating the healing aspects of Buddhist meditation practices with the concept of psychological awareness and healing. To a high degree in Western countries, psychotherapists have adapted and developed mindfulness techniques. When it comes to metaphysics, Schelling’s influence on the religious ideas that were accepted by Ibsen was never acknowledged. This text will throw some light upon Schelling as a source of inspiration for Ibsen and his milieu. Is it so, that Schelling’s ideas not until our ‘post-secular’ epoch have come into their own? Ibsen producers and actors are familiar with ‘New World Mindfulness’ and the history of mindfulness in the West.

The extent of labour force participation of women with a Turkish migration background in Germany is lower than that of women of other ethnic origins or that of non-migrant women. In this study, we focus on a within-group comparison of the labour force participation among Turkish women. Using data of the Generations and Gender Survey (2005/ 2006), we distinguish between first and second immigrant generations. The study pays special attention to both the human and social capital approach and aspects of intergenerational transmission and solidarity between generations. In line with the human capital theory, a strong increase in labour force participation can be noted among women belonging to the second migrant generation: Whereas only about 34 per cent of first generation immigrants participate in the workforce, the share among the second generation amounts to about 60 per cent. In addition to family status and education, mothers’ employment is found to increase the likelihood of the daughter’s participation in the workforce. Also, more egalitarian gender role attitudes favour a higher degree of employment.
Zusammenfassung
Die Arbeitsmarktbeteiligung von Frauen mit türkischem Migrationshintergrund in Deutschland ist geringer als die anderer Migrantengruppen und als die von Frauen ohne Migrationshintergrund. Diese Studie untersucht mit Daten des Generations and Gender Survey (2005/2006), inwiefern sich Frauen der ersten und zweiten Migrantengenerationen hinsichtlich ihrer Erwerbsbeteiligung unterscheiden und welche Faktoren dafür ursächlich sind. In Einklang mit der Humankapitaltheorie lässt sich für die zweite Generation eine stark gesteigerte Erwerbsbeteiligung feststellen: Während in der ersten Generation nur etwa 34 Prozent der Frauen einer Beschäftigung nachgehen, beteiligen sich rund 63 Prozent in der zweiten Generation am Arbeitsmarkt. Besondere Berücksichtigung erfährt der Sozialkapitalansatz bzw. Aspekte intergenerationaler Transmission und Solidarität. Demnach übt – neben Bildung und Familienstand ? eine Erwerbstätigkeit der Mutter einen Einfluss auf die Erwerbsbeteiligung der Tochter aus, und stärker egalitäre Genderrolleneinstellungen begünstigen eine Erwerbstätigkeit.

After the adoption in October 2000 and the publication in December 2000 of the European Union Water Framework Directive (EU WFD), Member States have to start with the transposition into national law and the actual implementation into national water policy and water resources management. For Germany, the EU WFD contains a new approach since the main principle is to integrate the ecological, economic and social aspects of water policy and water resources management at the level of river basins. Whereas some elements of current water policy in Germany take this principle into account, in many other parts this is not the case. For France, the EU WFD is familiar, because the principle of water resources management at the level of river basins has been established by the Water Act of 1964. Hence, it is not surprising to notice that, just a little more than one year after the publication of the EU WFD, the Assemblée nationale already adopted a Proposal for a Water Act which is to replace the Act of 1964 (and the important amendments made in 1992). In fact, in terms of current practice, the basic structure of water resources management remains unchanged. This paper examines the Proposal and — incidentally and passim — also explains some of the institutional arrangements and instruments which characterise French water policy and water resources management. In this two part article a short introduction deals with some of the basic principles of the Proposal for a Water Act. The next four sections deal with the four chapters of the Proposal which merit attention. In this first part first, the author investigates some general elements of decentralisation and planning, second, deals with the concept of “services publics” for the provision of water and waste water treatment; and third, looks at the reform of institutions, in particular of the agences de l'eau.

Many lecturers and teachers not only in state universities and state schools (like: elementary school, junior high school, and senior high school) but also in private universities and private schools have been having uncertain status that we can also say outsourcing lecturers and teachers since Indonesia Government decided a moratorium planning in recruiting candidates of public servants in Indonesia. It means, it will be big problems for lecturers and teachers in Indonesia (especially in South Sumatera), they will influence on public services (like: college students and students) even decrease potential human capital and other social problems because of lecturers’ and teachers’ uncertain status. Meanwhile in other countries (USA, England, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, Germany, Korea, Philippine), outsourcing workers are a custom in those but it can not be implemented in South Sumatera because outsourcing workers in this city are not ready yet in their competencies, soft and hard skills, experiences, creative thoughts, internal motivations, independencies, and loyalty to the job. Besides that, there is custom in South Sumatera (Indonesia generally) that being an employee is a pride for themselves and their families even though the salaries are too low. This research had found two postulates to become novelties support motivation and commitment theoriesThe result of this research are there are strong influence of personal FIDES awareness on future-anxious commitment grades 0,98 (98%), strong influence of personal FIDES awareness on potential human capital grades 0,79 (79%), and strong influence of personal FIDES awareness on social problems anticipation grades 0,53 (53%). Personal FIDES awareness (PAFIDES) rises because of uncertain job status and job scarcity, and PAFIDES can not strongly and directly influence on social problems anticipation (SOCPRA) but it will be strongly if it indirectly influences on SOCPRA by using mediating variable called future-anxious commitment.

Full textAbstract:
Hugh Clegg’s paper, ‘The Bullock Report and European Experience’, written in 1977, analyses the role of worker directors appointed to the boards of UK companies, a move which formed part of the then Labour government’s Social Contract with the trade unions designed to stem the country’s long-term industrial decline. My commentary argues that three aspects of the paper are likely to strike the contemporary reader most forcibly. Initially it seems alien as it describes a world of collectivist industrial relations that was erased by the Conservative government elected in 1979. Yet on closer reading its main theme - reforming corporate accountability - emerges as all too familiar, as worker exploitation and other corporate scandals have continued largely unchecked to the present. And we may reflect that more recent research into policy transfer has improved our contemporary understanding of the barriers to corporate governance reform since the 1970s. Clegg correctly cautioned against attempting to import institutions from countries such as Germany into the UK, a view that has since been refined by analysis of the contrasts between co-ordinated and liberal market economies. Reforming corporate governance requires tailor-made policies, not those transferred merely on grounds of success in their original host countries.

Full textAbstract:
The four books under review examine different aspects of the impact of the Protestant Reformation on communities in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The study of communal responses to religious reform has become a significant aspect of Reformation research in recent years, and it has served to emphasize that religious reform was a process rather than an event, and that it was a collective concern, which involved families, neighbours, and all those in guilds and congregations at all levels of society, both in town and village. Study of the community in history has, however, raised some problems, principally over definition, for communities were not institutions or geographical areas, but a complex web of overlapping social, economic, and cultural groups, within which there was a range of shared and conflicting interests. Despite the value placed by rulers and magistrates upon unity, communal life was a constantly mutating mix of conflict, concession, and change, to which the Reformation added a dynamic and volatile new dimension. Although the authors here use the notion of community, they attach to it a variety of interpretations, and one might wonder whether such a malleable term has value as a tool for historical analysis. In fact, these works show such flexibility to be a strength, for in the Reformation, beliefs were only gradually defined, and levels of support were variable and unpredictable. Interpretations which recognize the changing secular and spiritual worlds inhabited by the people of the period are particularly useful for providing new insights into how religious reform was experienced by the majority of those living at the time.

The subject of this research is the legal nature and legal mechanisms of strategic planning of socioeconomic development in foreign countries. The goal is to examine the peculiarities of legal nature of the strategy of socioeconomic development in foreign countries. The author sets the following tasks: analyze the current state of legal regulation of the strategy of socioeconomic development in the Russian Federation; examine the peculiarities of legal nature of the strategy of socioeconomic development in certain foreign countries; use the data acquired in comparative legal aspect for outlining the prospects of using positive foreign experience in domestic practice. Analysis is conducted on the experience of strategic planning in the United States, Germany, and Japan as the representatives of different groups of countries with their own specificities. The author describes the peculiarities of various approaches towards legal regulation of strategic planning , which are substantiated by the following factors: the historical path of development of the strategic planning system; affiliation to different legal families and establishment of legislative system; degree of economic and social development; approaches towards settlement of the questions of correlation of public and private interests, and a range of other factors. The strengthening of the role of federal center as the organizing core of the mechanism of strategic planning is substantiated. The conclusion is made on the prospects for the development of legal regulation of the strategy of socioeconomic development in the Russian Federation. Recommendations are formulated on amending the legislation in the sphere of strategic planning.

Full textAbstract:
The article illuminates the situation for single mothers in the ex-communist countries - Poland, Russia (the European part), ex. DDR and in Sweden and West Germany. The purpose is to discuss the mothers' situation with reference to their relation to three spheres - tlie family and social networks, public social policies and the working life. One basic question that is if the situation of single women with children is more exposed tlian that of the married women, and what possible consequences this might have for themselves and their children. How do single mothers differ from married mothers in the respective countries as far as education, incomes, work and views on the future are concerned? Despite comprising economic and social dissimilarities between these countries, comparisons are interesting since we focus the comparisons on married and single mothers with children. Hereby we get a measure of the structures and processes within these countries, and it can be discussed whether these are generally applied or not. An important aspect is to what extent the social policies or other factors lead to different attitudes in the countries. The results show that the transformation in the former communist nations afflict particularly women, and only in a negative manner. Large groups of women are rejected from the labour märket, and end up in a situation of poverty and dependence. The investigations in all the countries show that single mothers are more exposed than married mothers. They run a greater risk of losing their jobs than the married mothers do, and they thus run a greater risk of ending up in miserable poverty - particularly the mothers in Poland and Russia. The situation of single mothers in Sweden is better from a material point of view. In spite of this, many lone mothers feel worried about their economy - a worry that can be expected to increase along with increasing fees for social services, child care, health- and medical care, increased residential costs etc. The results indicate that the largest disability that women have on the labour märket is not the motherhood in itself, nor is it the gender, but the absence of marriage, in combination with being female. Comprising international research shows that poverty and exposition in one-parent families tend to be reproduced to the next generation. There is no automatic relationship in the relation between divorce, one-parenthood and social problems. It is rather the stigmatisation in different forms that is concerned, in combination with shortages in the possibilities of support that can lead to an assimilation of prolems. Via stigmatising treatment, both the mothers and the children lose their dignity and their self-assured identity.

Full textAbstract:
In Germany, support for families includes diverse types of financial and material aid. These different programs are not aligned and coordinated, but rather stand alone alongside each other and are far from being transparent. This article argues that this situation could be remedied by grouping the various family-related support measures within a single family support agency as a parafiscal institution. Here we summarize the basic advantages and disadvantages of parafiscal institutions and evaluate them in the context of family-related support measures. Then we examine the aspect of self-administration, which has taken a prominent role in the debate on parafiscal institutions. The paper concludes by outlining further parameters for the design, financing, and range of services that could be offered by a family parafiscus. However, a detailed discussion of the services offered by a family parafiscus would require systematic evaluation of the overall system. In the medium term, there is substantial evidence that efforts should begin to integrate the family-related support measures provided by the social insurance system with other support measures provided by the federal government in a single family support agency.
Zusammenfassung
Familienbezogene Leistungen umfassen in Deutschland eine Vielzahl von Sach- und Geldleistungen. Diese Leistungen sind nicht aufeinander abgestimmt, stehen häufig unverbunden nebeneinander und sind wenig transparent. Die Bündelung familienbezogener Maßnahmen bei einer Familienkasse als Parafiskus könnte, so die zentrale Aussage dieses Beitrags, Abhilfe schaffen. Die grundsätzlichen Vor- und Nachteile parafiskalischer Institutionen werden zusammengefasst und es wird diskutiert, wie diese im Kontext familienbezogener Leistungen zu bewerten sind. Daran anschließend wird der Aspekt der Selbstverwaltung beleuchtet, da er in der Debatte um Parafisken einen prominenten Stellenwert einnimmt. Der Beitrag schließt mit der Skizzierung weiterer Ausgestaltungsparameter eines Familienparafiskus, seiner Finanzierung und des Leistungsspektrums. Eine Diskussion um den Leistungskatalog eines Familienparafiskus setzt allerdings eine systematische Evaluierung des Gesamtsystems voraus. Mittelfristig spricht einiges dafür mit einer Integration der familienbezogenen Maßnahmen in der Sozialversicherung und anderer beim Bund angesiedelter familienbezogener Leistungen in eine Familienkasse zu beginnen.

Full textAbstract:
Everyday work of Belarusian citizens during the German occupation is explored on the basis of German trophy documents. The article is based on the materials of the Fund 378 of the National Archives of the Republic of Belarus. The documents give an idea of many aspects of occupational life through the prism of the activities of one institution – the Main Railway Directorate «Minsk» and shed light on many «white spots» of the everyday work of the population of Belarus. The presented study aims, first of all, to introduce into scientific circulation a significant set of factual material on the problem of everyday work and the use of local people labour by the occupation authorities. That shows the problem from a new perspective and creates factual basis for further conceptual study of the issue. The German occupation authorities gave exceptional importance to the issue of gaining the support of the population of Belarus. With this purpose, they developed directive documents, analyzed the mood and labour potential of local workers. Using the method of «carrots and sticks», the railway management in occupied Belarus understood that it depended on the local population, therefore, in addition to repressive methods and the organization of the control system, the issues of providing products and creating social guarantees were raised. The wage premiums, bonuses, rewards, delivery of products and delicacies, charity and assistance to the families of employees were supposed to increase productivity and stimulate the work of local railway workers. However, the occupation authorities regularly noted a low desire to work and the escape of local workers to the partisans. The introduction to the scientific turnover of the information of the unique documents of Main Railway Directorate «Minsk» can not only significantly extend the factual basis of the research of the period of German occupation of Belarus, but also pose a number of theoretical questions. New documentary sources make it possible to add to the currently existing assessment of the use of labour by the local population solely as betrayal or forced slave labor. Using new sources and modern methodological approaches, the survival strategies of ordinary people under occupation should be analyzed. Information sources of the сollection of documents of the Main Railway Directorate «Minsk» raise questions about the conditions of survival of local workers at other enterprises, in other fields of labour and regions of the occupied territory of Belarus.

Abstract Learning Objectives After reviewing this article, the participant should be able to: 1. Understand the epidemiology of breast cancer, its incidence and impact. 2. Appreciate the importance of early diagnosis and treatment. 3. Understand the concept of comprehensive breast cancer management and its multidisciplinarity. 4. Be knowledgeable about the entire process required to manage breast cancer, since the early diagnosis until the management of non breast related conditions derived from the treatment. 5. Position their specialty and knowledge in the process and know clearly their role and involvement in the management of the patients with breast cancer. Summary Breast carcinoma accounts for the majority of the malignant diseases in women. In Germany has an estimated incidence of 70 000 new cases per year, which is 30 % of all the malignancies in women, predominantly between 45 and 83 years old, although it can affect as well younger women and men, the latter, in a very low rate. It is accountable for 17.4 % mortality in the country.The high frequency and impact of the mammary carcinoma had lead to the establishment and standardization of screening programs, encompassing self examination, early and regular consultation, sonography and mammography, aimed to the early detection not only of primary disease but also in recurrent or relapsing disease, and continued following up after treatment. Several treatment strategies and tools have been developed and are being chosen in accordance to the histology and biology of the tumor, the patient condition, the social and familiar status, with the increase of conservation of the mammary gland either by adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapies, with radiotherapy or by breast conserving surgery, improving therefore the quality of living without compromising the disease free survival. Next step in the process is the follow up, intended to maintain the patients the healthiest possible, not only from the malignancy but also minimizing the effects of the treatment strategies, incorporating lifestyle improving measures e.g. sports and nutrition, and alternative medicine resources like acupuncture, hence improving the disease free survival rate, the overall survival and diminishing the disease related impact yet personal, familiar, social and economical.The aim of this CME is to give a thorough review of this multifactorial entity, helping the healthcare professional understand the scientific aspects of it and, through comprehensive reading, provide a clear understanding of their role and degree of involvement in the breast cancer management process.

The ratification of the Lanzarote Convention by Russia in 2013 entails several issues that cannot be resolved without the help of social-humanitarian sciences. Information from sociology, psychology, and jurisprudence has been used to create a concept for the empirical study of the domestic violence against children - to improve the implementation of the Convention in Russia. The concept considers two aspects of the problem - social and social-cultural. The article presents the Russian experience of how the provisions of the Council of Europe Convention on the Protection of Children against Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse are implemented. The authors analyze statistical data on the number of families in which a sexually abused child is brought up; the number of abortions and childbirths by minors; the number of minors in educational colonies; the work of the childrens helpline; the number of mediation services; the number of social service organizations for families and children; the number of professionals working with children in programs aimed at preventing and protecting children from sexual exploitation and abuse; the number of organizations providing psychological-pedagogical and medical-social assistance; the number of specialized multifunctional centers providing assistance to families and child victims of sexual abuse; the number of specialized green rooms for investigating crimes related to minors; the number of specialists accompanying minors who have come into conflict with the law at all stages of the investigation and court proceedings; the number of professionals trained under the Child Sexual Violence Protection Program and now assisting families and child victims of violence. The article will be useful for readers who study the implementation of the Lanzarote Convention and the issues of child sexual abuse and domestic violence.

The prevalence rate of large families in Russia has distinct regional character. So, a number of the subjects referred to the North Caucasus Federal Okrug are characterized by traditionally high level of a possession of many children. Such families distinguish from other categories of families on all socio-economic indices of the life quality and differ in both the maximum risk and degree ofpoverty. The share of the families having three and more children among needy households with children for the last decade has increased. Questions in the sphere of legislative and practical providing the rights and interests of members of large families which are regarded as insufficiently effective are discussed. Small number of studies devoted to the state of health, the organization of medical care and medico-social escort of children from large families was noted. There were sufficiently studied psychological and pedagogical aspects of this problem. Children of various age groups from large families were established to retard on all quantitative and qualitative indices of the physical development, differ in lower level of health and bigger prevalence of disability. There was substantiated the need for the elaboration of system of medico-social escort of the children who are brought up in large families as a real opportunity in modern conditions to influence on the shaping of health and its level for this category of the children’s population of Russia.

In this paper we outline some key aspects of the relationship between ethnicity and social capital in contemporary British society. This is a question that has begun to attract a good deal of attention in recent times, particularly in the context of public debate about the changing position of ethnic minority groups and migrant communities within an increasingly multicultural society. We begin by looking at the ways in which the relationship between ethnicity and social capital has been conceptualised. We then explore the ways that the notion of social capital has begun to shape policy debates about ethnicity and families. In doing so we seek to highlight the limitations of existing accounts and the kinds of questions that need to be addressed in conceptual and empirical research.

This article covers the topics of volunteer movement, its social essence and significance in the modern world, as well as the shifts in its concept as a response to global social and cultural changes in the 21th century. This study is conducted using historical data and current experience of the volunteer movement in Germany. The goal of this article is to define the organizational specifics and nature of modern volunteering, based on the present-day reality and its most significant global challenges, as well as to summarise the latest experiences of volunteer movement in Germany associated with the forced mass migration of Ukrainian refugees. The results of the study made it possible to outline some guidelines for the non-governmental organisations that provide social support to vulnerable populations, in particular, people who have been exposed to a trauma caused by life-threatening events. To achieve the goal, such research methods as analysis and synthesis, generalisation, comparison, logical analysis method, survey, content analysis were used. Special attention has been paid to the support provided to refugees fleeing from countries where hostilities are taking place (on the example of refugees from Ukraine). The article uses data from special monitoring surveys of Ukrainian refugees conducted by the Institute for Economic Research (Germany), as well as the author’s own experience of volunteer work in Munich. In addition, as an illustration to the topic, the results of a small online survey of Ukrainian refugees are presented. The participants of the survey were women who were forced to leave Ukraine for Germany due to hostilities and received support from volunteers — the owners of local hotel businesses. The source of data on the number and composition of volunteers in Germany is a survey that has been carried out every 5 years since 1999. The 2019 study covered 27.7 thousand people aged 14 years and older. Based on the data, it was possible to draw conclusions regarding the advantages and disadvantages of the modern volunteering movement in Germany, as well as provide practical guidelines, which are primarily aimed at improving the effectiveness of volunteer work. In particular, the authors have identified the main features of modern transformations of volunteering. These transformations are characterized by transition from associative, unstructured forms to well-organized and highly specialized ones. The changes also affected the motivational characteristics of volunteers — the transition from altruism to pragmatism. One of the conclusions of the study is the identification of conflicting assessments of such changes: along with an increase in the effectiveness of volunteer work, its complication and excessive bureaucratization are observed. As a result, a negative attitude towards such work may be formed. The conclusions of this article can be useful for increasing the effectiveness of volunteer organizations in other countries, as well as scaling up experience through greater specialization, increasing the professional level of volunteers, and expanding activities.

The media usually promote a negative image of the German „Jugendamt”. Meanwhile, the Youth Welfare Office (Socialgesetzbuch VIII Kinder- und Jugendhilfe) based on the bill SGB VII, has been established directly to help the families s affected by problems. Basically, this help is limited to supporting parents and caretakers in providing the welfare and education for the children. However, in the most drastic cases, the help system is expected to locate a minor in a foster environment. Federal Statistical Offi ce registers a systematic growth in the number of minors that are in various forms of care outside the family. In 2016, the number included 174 800 persons (in 50% of cases the withdrawal of parental rights was dictated by the parents’ incapability of coping with parental issues). The German institutional model of foster care designed for minors living abroad is characterized by introducing minors to care homes (Standprojekt), encouraging them to participate in yacht cruises (Schiffprojekte) or so-called travel projects (Reiseprojekten). In accordance with the German regulations, the children of foreigners under 18 are considered minors, thus if they travel without adult supervision, they are deemed unaccompanied minors and are consequently put under the care of the Youth Welfare Office.

Full textAbstract:
SummaryRecent changes in vital rates in Fiji suggest that the Melanesian (MF) component of the population is growing faster than the Indian (IF) component, thus reversing a long-standing demographic trend.Patterns of family building were studied in the respondent families of 302 MF and 324 IF children at school in the capital, Suva. Melanesian families were larger than IF families, even when corrected for differences in maternal age and social class. Particularly among IF families, there was a significant effect of social class on family size, higher status families having fewer children. Among all groups there was evidence of a secular trend to earlier childbearing and, less clearly, to an earlier cessation of childbearing. Among both races age-specific fertility levels were similar in younger age-groups, but older IF mothers showed significantly lower fertility.It is suggested that among IF families, who form a more urbanized and commercially/industrially oriented segment of the Fijian population, two factors may account for the reduction in fertility: (i) pressure to limit population growth in the interests of racial harmony; and (ii) economic pressure resulting in a demographic transition. The latter suggestion is supported by the fact that the greatest decrease in fertility occurs among high status families. Among MFs the reduction in fertility has been less, due probably to the absence of a ‘racial harmony’ incentive and also to a lesser economic stimulus.

Purpose: The objective of this research is to investigate the perception that migrant families and social workers have of their relationship and of the services offered and received in the reception path. Method: The qualitative research involved thirty parents with semi-structured family interviews and their twelve reference social workers, with focus group. The collected materials were transcribed verbatim and analysed through the grounded theory, using the NVivo software. Results: Results highlighted strengths, critical issues and challenges, some shared between social workers and families, like the sense of mutual trust and the perception of abandonment and loneliness. Others were expressed only by social workers as a greater attention to families, or by families as the possibility of social-health services.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the article is to show the relationship between immigration and the social aspect of sustainable development. Data from the German General Social Survey (ALLBUS) study conducted in 2016 on a sample of 3490 respondents (residents of Germany) was used. Research suggests that this relationship is negative: mass immigration from culturally foreign countries and social environments can significantly reduce the quality of life of residents in developed societies. This manifests in opinions about the need to limit or stop immigration. The case of Germany can probably be generalized to other developed countries, especially from the European Union.

Full textAbstract:
The article focuses on the aspect of family in the period after the First World War as portrayed in Georg K. Glaser’s novel Secret and Violence (Geheimnis und Gewalt). The novel depicts the division of a family caused by the brutality of the father, who has returned from the war and has become completely estranged from his family. The paper finds a parallel between the plot of the novel and the political and social events that unfolded in Germany during the first half of the 20th century, which split society and thus often caused a complete alienation among people. In the novel, the Weimar Republic is presented as a battleground of progressive and radically ideological forces, whose success the study seeks to elucidate.

Full textAbstract:
Tertiary-level students from Bangladesh usually migrate to Germany for the purpose of higher studies. These international student migrants use communication media to maintain connections with family members and friends in Bangladesh and social networks with friends, classmates, and Bangladeshi community members in Germany. Drawing on the experiences of Bangladeshi student migrants in Germany and using polymedia theory, this paper investigates how the migrant students use the polymedia environment to maintain the transnational social networks and connections. This paper is based on qualitative data derived from 18 in-depth interviews with Bangladeshi migrant students in Germany. Findings suggest that using the polymedia environment, Bachelor migrant students receive emotional support from their family members back home, while Masters and PhD students are responsible for providing emotional and practical support to their left-behind families, relatives, and friends. Migrant students’ media usage with families and friends living in Bangladesh is influenced by their marital status and gender as well as their familial and social structure in Bangladesh. Their use of communication media with the members of the Bangladeshi community and foreign classmates living in Germany is comparatively less frequent and more education-oriented.

Full textAbstract:
Facing the demographic crisis, it is worth reflecting on the issues of the place, significance and values of large family. As I. Bukalska (2017, s. 55) rightly observes, the strength of the influence of an important group of social interest, which are large families, shapes their better perception. Analyzing the content that responds to research problems on characteristics attributed to large families in source materials, media, assigned to large families and stereotyping the category of such families, it can be concluded that, despite the positive impact of these families on many aspects (e.g. demographic, economic, cultural, identity), large families still have to face unfair stereotypes of remaining a burden on society, being recipients of excessive social benefits, and even – as M. Szyszka (2015, s. 177) indicates – a pathological environment label.

Full textAbstract:
Generic disorders can potentially interfere with interpersonal relationships and normal social develop' ment as well as disrupt family life. As scientific and technological advances in medical genetics provide health professionals with a more comprehensive understanding of the origin, implications, and management of genetic disorders, professionals acquire expanded responsibilities. Social workers, who are often involved with individuals and families on a long-term basis, play an instrumental role in helping individuals and families make the necessary emotional and social adjustments following diagnosis of a genetic disease, understand the ramifications of the diagnosis, cope with the accompanying concerns, and find me appropriate services.

Full textAbstract:
Germans are inordinately preoccupied with the question of national integration. From the Kulturkampf to the Weimar Republic to the separation of East and West, social fractiousness is deeply ingrained in German history, giving rise to a desire to unify the "incomplete nation." Yet, the impulse to integrate German society has long been ambivalent. Between Bismarck and the Nazi interregnum, top-down efforts to force Germans to integrate threatened to erase valued differences. The twentieth anniversary of German reunification is the occasion to assess the reality of and ambivalence towards social integration in contemporary Germany. A review of economic and social measures of East-West, immigrant, and Muslim integration provides many indications of progress. Nevertheless, social cleavages persist despite political integration. Indeed, in some aspects, including in the party system, fragmentation is greater now than it was two decades ago. Yet successful social integration is a two-way street, requiring newcomers and oldtimers to interact. Integration of the European Union to some extent has followed this German path, with subsidiarity ensuring a decentralized social model and limited cohesion. German ambivalence about social integration is a major reason for the continuing social fragmentation of the society.

The use and regulation of mobile media devices of children and adolescents in refugee families is largely unexplored. Our qualitative approach utilizes in-depth guided interviews with parents and children in Arabic speaking refugee families in Germany. All interviewed families have resided in Germany from one to four years. The sample consists of both couples and single parents, while most children are in their final year of kindergarten, in primary school, or secondary school. The study explores the selection and usage of mobile media devices and content in their social context, such as the use of social media platforms and apps at home and for school. Our research highlights changes in mobile media usage after the interviewees’ arrival in Germany due to the different socio-cultural environment and a changed media agency. The amount of change greatly depends on the age of the children, for example, the younger they were when arriving in Germany, the less likely they are to use mobile media to stay in touch with their former friends. Additionally, most children and adolescents tend to consume German media content more often than Arabic content. In the rare cases they do consume Arabic media content, it is in the presence of their parents, who state that they do so to bring their children closer to their roots.
