Dapa, Kouadio Christian. "Processus de Vieillissement actif : cas des pratiques de protection sociale des travailleurs informels du secteur des transports routiers urbains d’Adjamé (commune d’Abidjan Côte d’Ivoire)." European Scientific Journal, ESJ 18, no. 19 (June 30, 2022): 95. http://dx.doi.org/10.19044/esj.2022.v18n19p95.
Full textAbstract:
La présente étude vise à comprendre, les pratiques de protection sociale des travailleurs informels du secteur des transports routiers urbains d’Adjamé (commune d’Abidjan Côte d’Ivoire) dans le processus du vieillissement actif. Dans une approche interactionniste, la théorie de la stratégie d’ajustement de R.Lazarus et S.Folkman (1984) a été mobilisée en vue d’évaluer les risques liés au vieillissement de cette catégorie socioprofessionnelle avant de saisir leurs stratégies d’ajustement au vieillissement actif. Partant, l’approche qualitative à travers des entretiens semi directifs, des observations directes, la recherche documentaire et la technique d’échantillonnage à choix raisonné, a permis de collecter des données et d’aboutir aux résultats suivants : d’abord, le vieillissement est perçu par les travailleurs informels comme une incapacité socio-économique et physique. Ils y voient comme une sorte de mort sociale. En outre, ces travailleurs, pour faire face aux risques liés au vieillissement, ils disposent des ressources physiques et socio-affectives conséquentes. Enfin, la solidarité intergénérationnelle et l’approche préventive par l’investissement social sont pour ceux-ci des ressources résilientes qu’ils mobilisent pour favoriser leurs vieillissements actifs.
This study aims to understand, in the process of active ageing, the social protection practices of informal workers in the urban road transport sector of Adjamé (Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire). In an interactionist approach, the adjustment strategy theory of R. Lazarus and S. Folkman (1984) was mobilised in order to evaluate the risks linked to ageing in this socioprofessional category before understanding their adjustment strategies to active ageing. Accordingly, the qualitative approach through semi-structured interviews, direct observations, documentary research and the purposive sampling technique made it possible to collect data and to arrive at the following results: firstly, ageing is perceived by these informal workers as a socio-economic and physical incapacity, or even social death. Second, they have the physical and socio-emotional resources to cope with the risks associated with ageing. Finally, their strategies for adjusting to active ageing are based on intergenerational solidarity on the one hand and the preventive approach through social investment on the other.

Full textAbstract:
Les justiciables non représentés par avocat sont de plus en plus nombreux devant les tribunaux québécois. Si le phénomène est fréquemment désigné tel un problème engendrant coûts et délais supplémentaires, l’enjeu central se révèle surtout celui d’une incapacité à débourser les frais de justice pour une partie importante des citoyens. Cependant, qu’en est-il du statut juridique de la non-représentation : agir seul, est-il un droit ? Alors que les tribunaux répondent généralement par l’affirmative, la portée de ce statut se trouve fortement limitée par le caractère discrétionnaire de sa mise en oeuvre. Des distinctions importantes s’imposent entre les matières criminelle et civile, notamment quant à l’origine de sa protection qui est constitutionnelle en matière criminelle et législative en matière civile. Malgré l’état de la connaissance sur les raisons de la non-représentation par avocat, l’étude de la jurisprudence démontre qu’agir seul est le plus souvent considéré comme un choix, ce qui semble avoir une incidence notable sur la mise en oeuvre des garanties judiciaires.

Full textAbstract:
Résumé Depuis les années 1980, le néo-institutionnalisme historique occupe une place centrale dans les débats théoriques concernant l’histoire et les transformations contemporaines de l’État-providence. Le présent article montre l’intérêt heuristique de cette approche tout en traçant de nouvelles pistes de réflexion susceptibles de combler ses principales lacunes théoriques, notamment son incapacité de rendre compte de la teneur spécifique des choix techniques et idéologiques qui façonnent les politiques sociales. Afin de dépasser ces lacunes, il convient de prendre en considération deux facteurs socio-économiques dans le cadre théorique général du néo-institutionnalisme historique : pour circonscrire l’impact des intérêts économiques sur les décisions politiques, il faut mettre l’accent sur la protection sociale offerte par le secteur privé ; pour circonscrire l’influence des idées sur l’élaboration des politiques sociales, il faut analyser les paradigmes véhiculés par les experts, les réformateurs et les politiciens. Les notions de champ et d’habitus formulées par Pierre Bourdieu pourraient également contribuer à cette intégration théorique en soulignant à la fois l’autonomie et le haut degré de structuration institutionnelle et idéologique de l’arène politique.

La pandémie de la Covid-19 amène à repenser le monde, à prendre conscience de la nécessité d’un nouveau modèle socio-économique. Mais comment faire quand il existe un déni de la rigueur scientifique dans le monde politique et médiatique comme en France ?
Combien de discours sur l’efficacité d’une politique économique sont basés sur une hypothèse fausse, celle que "corrélation veut dire causalité" ? Pourquoi y-a-t-il tant de débats télévisés où des polémistes s’improvisent experts ou expertes ? Pourquoi des gouvernants sont incapables de prendre en compte des questions de logistique basiques pour la mise à disposition de masques de protection ? Pourquoi l’enseignement des mathématiques et des sciences font l’objet depuis plusieurs dizaines d’années d’un dénigrement construit par une répétition d’arguments infondés ?
La capacité collective de repérer ce qui est scientifiquement prouvé et ce qui ne l’est pas, manque à la France et à un grand nombre de pays industrialisés. Il s’agit d’un handicap qui impacte directement la capacité d’évoluer vers une économie acceptée par la majorité des citoyens et basée sur le réel. Cette incapacité alimente le risque de crise économique et d’explosions sociétales. Ce qui est fait défaut n’est pas une connaissance des dernières découvertes scientifiques, mais celle des fondamentaux de la rigueur scientifique, des limites des modèles et de la valeur des sondages.
Pour changer la compréhension des sciences, deux leviers sont possibles. Le premier porte sur la conscience du grand public et des médias, le deuxième sur la gouvernance de l’enseignement des sciences à l’école.
Cette communication fait l’état des lieux en France, propose des hypothèses sur les évolutions socio-culturelles d’ordre systémique qui ont conduit à cette situation. Deux actions nécessaire dans deux champs sont développées : la communication médiatique et l’éducation en sciences.

Full textAbstract:
Disability arises from the dynamic between people’s physical and mental conditions and the physical and attitudinal barriers in the environment. Applying this idea about disability to United States and Canadian immigration law draws attention to barriers to entry and eventual citizenship for individuals who have disabilities. Historically, North American law excluded many classes of immigrants, including those with intellectual disabilities, mental illness, physical defects, and conditions likely to cause dependency. Though exclusions for individuals likely to draw excessive public resources and those with communicable diseases still exist in Canada and the United States, in recent years the United States permitted legalization for severely disabled undocumented immigrants already in the country, and both countries abolished most exclusions from entry for immigrants with specific disabling conditions. Liberalization also occurred with regard to U.S. naturalization requirements. Challenges continue, however. Under U.S. law, vast discretion remains with regard to the likely-public-charge exclusion, because consular officers abroad decide unilaterally whether to issue immigrant visas. Moreover, conduct related to mental disability, including petty criminality, can result in removal from the United States, and individuals with mental disabilities have only modest safeguards in removal proceedings. In Canada, families who have children with disabilities find themselves excluded from legal status because of supposed excessive demands on public resources, although an individual’s disability may provide grounds for avoiding removal in certain cases. The relaxation of some immigration exclusions in Canada and the U.S. and of some U.S. requirements for citizenship illustrates a significant, though conspicuously incomplete, removal of disability-related barriers in North American law and society. Le handicap découle de la dynamique entre les aptitudes physiques et mentales d’une personne et les obstacles physiques et comportementaux du milieu. L’application de cette perception du handicap au droit canadien et américain de l’immigration met en relief les obstacles à l’entrée et à l’obtention éventuelle de la citoyenneté pour les personnes handicapées. Dans le passé, le droit nord-américain a exclu de nombreuses catégories d’immigrants, notamment les personnes ayant une déficience physique ou intellectuelle ou une maladie mentale et les personnes affligées d’une condition pouvant mener à la dépendance. Bien que des exclusions soient encore en vigueur au Canada et aux États-Unis dans le cas des personnes qui risquent d’entraîner un fardeau excessif pour le secteur public et des personnes souffrant d’une maladie transmissible, au cours des dernières années, les États-Unis ont autorisé des immigrants sans papier gravement handicapés qui étaient déjà au pays à légaliser leur situation; de plus, les deux pays ont aboli la plupart des exclusions relatives aux immigrants souffrant de certaines affections incapacitantes. Les exigences américaines en matière de naturalisation ont également été assouplies. Cependant, de nombreuses difficultés subsistent. En droit américain, les autorités conservent un large pouvoir discrétionnaire en ce qui concerne l’exclusion des personnes susceptibles de représenter un fardeau pour le secteur public, car ce sont les agents consulaires en poste à l’étranger qui déterminent unilatéralement s’il y a lieu de délivrer ou non les visas d’immigrant. De plus, les comportements liés à une incapacité mentale, y compris les délits mineurs, peuvent entraîner le renvoi des États-Unis et les personnes souffrant d’une incapacité mentale ne disposent que de moyens de protection modestes dans les procédures de renvoi. Au Canada, les familles ayant des enfants handicapés sont exclues, en raison du fardeau excessif qu’elles risquent d’entraîner pour le secteur public, bien qu’il soit possible d’invoquer le handicap d’une personne pour éviter le renvoi dans certains cas. L’assouplissement de certaines règles d’exclusion au Canada et aux États-Unis ainsi que des exigences américaines en matière de citoyenneté témoigne d’un progrès important sur la voie de l’élimination des obstacles liés aux handicaps dans le droit et la société nord-américains, mais il reste encore beaucoup à faire dans ce domaine.

The growth of solo self-employed workers in the Netherlands (zzp’ers) has not yet triggered a debate on how to combine their income security and business autonomy. The extent to which the social protection system and interest groups promote zzp’ers to take up collective arrangements mitigating income insecurity due to work incapacity and preventing income insecurity due to poor employability is investigated using the social risk management framework. Correcting economic obstacles and irrational risk perceptions, collective arrangements are found to encourage the take-up of work incapacity insurance and training among zzp’ers.

Cette étude vise à identifier la contribution des parents de ces jeunes à leur insertion sociale et professionnelle. Le cadre théorique est celui de la résilience et la méthodologie de la recherche est de type phénoménologique. Les résultats montrent six facteurs de protection mis en place par les parents : favoriser la participation sociale de l’enfant, découvrir son potentiel, l’intéresser à la lecture et à l’écriture, faciliter le maintien d’une bonne condition physique, utiliser les technologies multimédia et favoriser les contacts avec les pairs. Ils mentionnent aussi quatre facteurs de protection à développer. Ces résultats soulignent la nécessité d’améliorer les programmes de transition pour ces jeunes.

Full textAbstract:
How can the incapacity defence in contract law coexist with the concept of universal legal capacity advanced by the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD)? In the absence of clear guidance from the CRPD on the link between legal capacity and mental capacity, and given the silence of this Convention on the concept of contractual capacity, this article stresses the need to redefine contractual capacity in a manner that responds not only to economic interests (eg upholding the security of transactions) but also to social interests (including the protection of values such as dignity). The discussion insists that incapacity and disability must never be conceptually equated and calls for a definition of contractual incapacity that moves beyond the medical condition of individuals (whether this is known by or apparent to the other contracting party) and which considers the circumstances of the transaction. These arguments are explored in the context of English contract law, focusing on the question of contractual validity when a party lacked the mental capacity to understand the transaction and the other party was unaware of the incapacity and acted in good faith.

Full textAbstract:
The topic of this study is to determine the substance of the right to social security in case of incapacity to work due to sickness in the light of Article 67 (1) of the Polish Constitution, and to establish the scope and form of social security on this account. The author presents and justifies the concept of social protection in the event of incapacity to work due to sickness based on the assumption that, although it is granted in connection with professional activity, it does not always have to be associated with loss of earnings. On the other hand, as for the scope of social security, it was assumed that it can cover (in the subjective aspect) not only persons subject to general social insurance and farmers’ social insurance, but also uniformed services as well as judges and prosecutors, while (in the objective aspect) also benefits from the employment (service) relationship, i.e. employee sick pay and emoluments (remuneration) for the time of incapacity to work due to sickness to which professional soldiers, police officers, judges or prosecutors are entitled. The latter is related to the formulation of the thesis that the exercise of the right to social security in case of incapacity to work due to sickness does not take place exclusively in the form of insurance disbursement, since – due to the open content of the norm included in Article 67 (1) of the Polish Constitution – it is also permissible to use other methods of legal protection, including the financing of benefits in this area from the own funds of the employing entities. The discussion is preceded by remarks on the concept of the right to social security, particularly with regard to the legal nature of Article 67 of the Polish Constitution and the essence of this right.

Full textAbstract:
This article engages with emerging debates in law and feminist philosophy around the concept of vulnerability. Central to this is the call to re-imagine and re-frame vulnerability as universal – as something which is experienced by all individuals, by virtue of their humanity and context as social beings. The implications of this for laws and policies predicated on groups or categories as ‘being vulnerable’ will be explored in this article, using the concept of mental capacity as an example of how the boundary between capacity and incapacity can be contested through this lens. The article will critically consider the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and associated literature, such as Court of Protection cases, the House of Lords Select Committee's post-legislative scrutiny and Serious Case Reviews, which demonstrate the growing concern about the inadequacy of the binary between capacity and incapacity. This in turn provokes a challenge to accepted wisdom in the context of disability more broadly, inviting us to think in particular about the responses to perceived vulnerability that are currently deemed appropriate. Insights from the legal literature invite further exchanges with social policy theorists as to the concept of vulnerability and its challenges and implications for law and policy.

Full textAbstract:
Given the exposure to today's easy-to-know information, children should seemingly become mature faster than their predecessors, and therefore better informed even at a tender age. However, it remains to be seen whether fixingthe age of 18 forminors or children to enter into contracts is relevant. This paper focuses on contract law; it examines the age of majority and the legal implications of contracts entered into by minors. To a certain extent, this paper examines the issue by making comparisons between Malaysian and English law. The findings derived imply that the determination of the age of majority needs to be compatible with the capacity of minors and current realities. This determination must be premised on a fair balance between protecting minors' welfare and the interest of those who have attained the age of majority.

Full textAbstract:
The social security system in Albania consists of social assistance and social services, health services and health care insurance and social insurance schemes. In the social objectives of the constitution are declared that the State within the constitutional competencies and the probable means as well as in the fulfillment of private initiatives and responsibilities, aims to higher possible standards of health, physical and mental; social care and services of elderly, orphan and invalids; medical rehabilitation, special education and integration in the community, of disabled persons. The Constitution foreseen that everyone has the right of social insurance when retired or in case of incapacity of work under a certain system established by a law. Everyone, when is unemployed for any reasons independent on individual will and when there is no living means, has the right of need under the conditions foreseen by law. Social insurance is a scheme protecting by benefits persons in respect of temporary incapacity due to sickness, maternity, old-age, disability and loss of breadwinner, employment accidents/occupational diseases, unemployment. Social Services are benefits in kind for disabled persons or vulnerable persons. Social Assistances are cash benefits given to families in need, that means families with lower incomes comparable with minimum standard of living or families without incomes. Health services consist of public health, primary health care, hospitalization services nurse's service, dental and pharmaceutical net. The Institutions of Social Protection in Albania are Social Insurance Institute, National Social Services and Health Care Insurance Fund.

Full textAbstract:
Over the twentieth century, the Lunacy Office (renamed the Court of Protection in 1947) was responsible for appointing ‘receivers’ to manage the property of adults in England who were found incapable of managing their own affairs. Tens of thousands of people were in this position by the 1920s, and numbers continued to grow until after Second World War. This article uses the archives of the Office to examine the evolution of the concept of mental incapacity over the first half of the twentieth century, offering a corrective to the popular impression that the time before the Mental Capacity Act of 2005 was an era of ignorance and bad practice. It examines the changing ways in which being ‘incapable’ was understood and described, with particular reference to shifting ideas of citizenship. I argue that incapacity was not always seen as absolute or permanent in the first half of the century, that models of incapacity began to include perceived vulnerability in the interwar period and that women in particular were seen in this way. From the 1940s, though, the profile of those found incapable was changing, and the growing welfare state and its principles of employment and universality saw the idea of incapacity narrowing and solidifying around knowledge deficits, especially among the elderly. This brings the history of the Lunacy Office into the twentieth century and connects it to current concerns around assessments of mental capacity today.

Full textAbstract:
The article discusses the main problems related to the employment of persons with disabilities in Georgia, barriers they face in the job search process. The examples of the current situation in some European countries are given. The inclusion of disabled people in public life remains one of the problematic issues. Creating an anti-discriminatory environment for them, social adaptation, solving the problem of unemployment, protection of fundamental rights, which are manifested in the protection of their rights to education, healthcare, security and free choice, have become priority directions of all developed countries. Based on foreign experience, certain recommendations are given, the implementation of which will help and improve the current situation in our country in the direction of protecting the rights of persons with disabilities and special needs, employment and, in general, raising public awareness towards such people. Moreover, ensuring equal opportunities for all people in any country (including ours) is regulated by law, and this is not just an idea of humanism. The legislative framework is saturated with both theoretical and practical (vocational schools) issues, but on the other hand, its realization – employment of disabled people – is a problem. Disability does not always mean incapacity. Sometimes such a person has so much potential that most people may not have. Employment has been and remains the most sustainable and effective component of ensuring the livelihood of vulnerable groups. In Georgia, there are some initiatives in terms of their employment, steps taken in this direction can be noticed, but it is insufficient. There is an appropriate legal framework, but the main dilemma is its implementation and implementation in practice. Keywords: disabled person, employment, unemployment, protection of rights.

Technologies in which working life is the basis of business, and research into losses due to absenteeism, are a complex social and individual problem. Surveys conducted at the level of Member States of the European Community show that these losses amount to about 4% of GDP (gross social income). Due to inadequate record keeping, it is not possible to calculate how much such damage is in Serbia, but according to the available parameters related to the number of injuries at work, the state of occupational safety in Serbia does not deviate significantly from the situation in Europe. Safer working conditions are of great interest to the state, since work incapacity directly affects the state budget. Thus, apart from repression, the state should share with the employers the costs of investing in occupational safety and health. By reducing the tax rate or introducing a zero value added tax (VAT), employers would be encouraged to invest in occupational safety and health.The costs of injuries at work are mainly borne by employers, but the damage incurred is also reflected at the national level. The costs of occupational injuries can be divided into direct and indirect costs.The paper presents an economic approach to a harmful event (injury at work) and points to itto certain direct and indirect costs in entrepreneurship.

Full textAbstract:
For a comprehensive assessment of the protection of uranium against proliferation due to the presence of uranium-232 in it, the authors of the article propose and substantiate an integral protection criterion for this material. The criterion is based on the physical barriers against the proliferation of uranium created by uranium-232, namely: (1) the radiolysis of uranium hexafluoride, which hinders attempts to re-enrich uranium and, as a result, a significant critical mass; (2) hard γ-radiation, which leads to incapacity and death of those who try to handle this material without radiation protection; (3) increased heat release, which disables the components of a nuclear explosive device; and (4) a significant source of neutrons that causes predetonation and thereby reduces the energy yield of a nuclear explosive device. These barriers appear at various stages of uranium handling not only in the indicated order but also act simultaneously, mutually reinforcing one another.

Background/Aims: By inducing severe endothelial impairment, hypertension and diabetes are two leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Hypertensive patients with concomitant diabetes must take both antihypertensive and hypoglycaemic medications, for which there is a lack of experimental and clinical guidelines. This study aimed to examine the interaction between these two types of medication on the endothelial cell function. Methods: The effect of antihypertensive (nifedipine and irbesartan) and anti-diabetic (metformin and glibenclamide/glimepiride) drugs on human umbilical vein cells (HUVECs) function was examined using a modified Boyden chamber assay. The intracellular NO and O2- levels of HUVECs were detected through flow cytometry. Results: Our findings showed that nifedipine/sulphonylurea monotherapy significantly attenuated high glucose-induced (33 mM) HUVECs migration incapacity, while combination therapy of nifedipine and glibenclamide/glimepiride showed no protective effect. Both nifedipine/metformin monotherapy and combined therapy significantly mitigated the migration incapacity induced by high glucose in HUVECs. Combined with either metformin or sulphonylureas, irbesartan therapy was able to attenuate the high glucose-induced migration incapacity of HUVECs. Nifedipine monotherapy decreased the O2- levels and increased the NO levels in in vitro-cultured HUVECs treated with high glucose. However, the combination therapy of nifedipine and glibenclamide increased the O2- levels and decreased the NO levels compared to the nifedipine monotherapeutic group. Conclusion: The nifedipine and glibenclamide/glimepiride combination exerted a mutual antagonistic effect on the protection from high glucose-induced impairment in endothelial cells, which might be partially attributed to the increased O2- level and decreased NO level. These results imply that calcium channel blockers + sulphonylurea combination therapy warrants further attention in patients suffering from both hypertension and diabetes.

In modern Russian succession law, factual grounds (incapacity for work, maintenance and community of life with the testator, etc.) have a decisive influence on the construction of the legal and necessary hereditary order. Thus, the Russian legislator protected incapable persons who were, after the death of the provider, supported by the testator during his lifetime. By enacting such inheritance regulations, the legislator has remained faithful to the Russian legal tradition and the idea of subsistence (which is the basis of legal inheritance in Russian law), and successfully ensured the continuity of family law protection for incapacitated individuals. This paper focuses on the inheritance mechanism aimed at ensuring the continuity of family law protection to persons who are incapable to work, and who were supported by the testator during his/her lifetime. In light of current inheritance legislation of the Russian Federation and the views presented in the Russian legal literature and jurisprudence, the author points out that the continuity of family law protection of incapacitated persons who were supported by the testator may be effectively ensured through the institute of universal succession.

Full textAbstract:
The EU Directives on maternity leave adopt a single social risk approach, focusing primarily on the protection of the delivering worker’s incapacity to work during pregnancy and after giving birth. They justify maternity leave on the basis of the vulnerability of these workers and provide for a leave of at least 14 weeks. However, recent case law of the CJEU questions whether maternity leave is consistent with this approach and respects the principle of non-discrimination on grounds of sex. This article challenges the EU Directives on maternity leave and seeks to find out to what extent they are based on a coherent single social risk approach, by examining not only EU and national legal sources but also medical literature. It concludes that the approach adopted by these Directives is not sufficiently consistent because for most women the period of incapacity for work will not last longer than 6 weeks after childbirth (puerperium), much shorter than the minimum 14-week period. The fact that maternity leave is a right of mothers and that in most instances a substantial part of the leave is only devoted to the care of the newborn is creating unsatisfactory effects on both mothers and fathers.

Full textAbstract:
A person with disability is a person with permanent physical or mental deficiencies who encounters barriers to the exercise of his rights; but a person with disability is not necessarily a person with civil incapacity because this type of person has an express and legal limitation to the exercise of his rights; neither a person with disability will necessarily be a person with restricted capacity, since they have freedom in the exercise of some of their rights; but they are obliged to be legally represented for other acts. Not every person with disability or restricted capacity is a person without discernment, since to be so, he/she must not be able to distinguish right from wrong. It is necessary an explanatory analysis on how the modification of the civil capacity from the Legislative Decree N° 1384 has been an attempt to do things right; but it has had mistakes by repealing Articles 1974 and 1975 of the Civil Code, which established factual assumptions of protection to persons without discernment, respecting the principle of equality of conditions recognized by the Convention on persons with disabilities, and providing clarity to the operators of law on their due action in the assumptions contained in those unduly repealed rules. Key words: Civil capacity, civil incapacity, disability, discernment

Full textAbstract:
In contemporary legislation, every individual has, throughout his or her life, legal personality, the main attribute of which is legal capacity, generally defined as the capacity to hold rights and obligations.
If the child from birth and even, in many laws, from conception has legal personality, it has however neither the will nor the intelligence necessary to run its own business.
An adult can also be the result of a physical or legal disability. The incapacity to exercise of certain adults and minors implies the intervention of one or more structures to act in their place or with them.
This article gives the position of the Persons and Family Code of Mali, which was adopted in December 2011 for the protection of these disabilities. To do this, the main methodology used is research and documentary analysis, with sometimes a little comparative law.

Full textAbstract:
The advent of the social state caused the emergence of rights of a collective nature and mass conflicts, making it necessary to create mechanisms for collective tutelage, given the incapacity of the classical process to promote the adequate protection of these new litigation. Aiming to solve this situation, a system of collective tutelage has been created, whose objective is the protection of diffuse, collective and individual homogeneous rights. However, this system proved incapable of solving the excessive number of demands that overwhelm the Judiciary, which has made it necessary to establish a system of binding precedents in order to achieve greater consistency and stability in the jurisprudence. In view of this context, the present study aimed to analyze the Brazilian system of collective tutelage, through the examination of collective actions and procedural incidents of resolution of repetitive cases that are part of the Brazilian precedent system. The methodology followed the deductive method, using doctrinal and legal research on the researched topic.

Full textAbstract:
Because of concerns about competence and voluntariness, the mentally disordered constitute a vulnerable population in the context of nontherapeutic biomedical research and, as such, are in need of protection. Despite others' concern about protecting the mentally disordered, their decision-making potential should also be respected and maximized, allowing such individuals to consent to participate in experiments subject to an evaluation of their competence to make such a decision. Competent mentally disordered persons who anticipate future incapacity should be able to issue research directives or durable powers of attorney whereby they can provide explicit consent to participate in nontherapeutic research. When he or she becomes incompetent, a substitute decision maker should be able to provide consent on behalf of the mentally disordered person within established parameters. Nontherapeutic experimentation with the mentally disordered should be permitted, but only within the boundaries of ethical permissibility delineated by legislated guidelines. At present, the legal status of substituted consent for nontherapeutic procedures is uncertain and requires legislation, which in addition to legalizing such consent, would provide guidelines for substitute decision makers and for the creation of research directives. These guidelines should include restrictions on the scope of research, obligations of researchers, rights of subjects, and responsibilities of research ethics committees (RECs). In all cases, the voluntary and informed consent of the person or substitute decision maker must be obtained.

The article reveals the essence of public services in the field of social protection. The analysis of the terms social protection, social security, administrative services, public services, as well as their relationship. Based on the identified main features of these terms, the author tries to provide his definition of public services in the field of social protection. Peculiarities of providing public services in the field of social protection are: authorized bodies of public administration; a specific range of consumers of services, which is clearly defined by state regulations (preferably at the legislative level); based on the essence of the concept of «social protection», consumers of administrative services in this area can only be individuals; special legal status of such persons in accordance with the Constitution of Ukraine, where the right to social protection is provided only to citizens, which currently restricts the right to social protection of foreigners, stateless persons, refugees, including through public services, emphasizing the importance of its citizens ; A feature of the provision of public services in the field of social protection is their free of charge for the subjects of application.It is established that one of the features of public services in the field of social protection is the specific conditions under which a person has the right to receive services in this area. Public services in the field of social protection are provided subject to the occurrence of a statutory case of social risk, for example, when reaching a certain age of incapacity for work or acquiring the status of a disabled person, etc.It is proved that the second feature of public services in the field of social protection is their preventive focus, which includes preventing disruptions in the normal functioning of life of individuals and violation of their rights in case of social risk.

Methods: To evaluate how researchers in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) can assess individuals’ decisional capacity, and the conditions under which it is appropriate to include and the conditions under which it is appropriate to exclude individuals who lack decisional capacity. Results: In LMICs, where resources may be limited, implementing protections for adults with decisional incapacity can be especially challenging. Recognition of the ethical concerns, and awareness of the circumstances and available resources, offers the means to protect these vulnerable participants. Conclusions: Researchers in low and middle-income countries should be aware of steps they can take to ensure appropriate protections for subjects with decisional impairments while conducting clinical trials on methods to improve their clinical care.

Vouloir situer le concept de résilience dans la philosophie d’intervention en « déficience intellectuelle » peut apparaître, à première vue, un objectif assez inusité, car nous reconnaissons peu à ces personnes les capacités nécessaires pour relever le défi que représente leur intégration ou leur participation sociale. Concevoir la résilience comme un processus au lieu d’une capacité permet de considérer ce concept dans le réseau de la déficience intellectuelle à travers trois sens particuliers : historique, théorique et clinique. Le recours à une adaptation clinique du Processus de production du handicap (PPH) favorise une compréhension au quotidien des interactions entre les facteurs de risque et les facteurs de protection qui placent la personne présentant des incapacités intellectuelles en situation de vulnérabilité ou de résilience.

Full textAbstract:
Classical Athens offers a useful comparative test‐case for essentialist assumptions about the necessary harm that emanates from sexual intimacy between adults and adolescent boys. The Athenian model does not fit victimological expectations, but instead suggests that adolescent boys could be credited with considerable powers of discretion and responsibility in sexual matters without harming their future cultural productivity. Contemporary American legislation premised on children’s incapacity to “consent” to sexual relations stems from outmoded gender constructions and ideological preoccupations of the late Victorian and Progressive Era; that it has been extended to “protection” of boys is a matter of historical accident, rather than sound social policy. Rigorous social science and historical comparanda suggest that we should consider a different “age of consent” for boys and girls.

Revised format: May 2018 AvailableOnline: June 2018 During budget year 2016-17, public spending on procurement of medicines in Pakistan surged 29% touching an exorbitant figure of PKR 7.5 billion (Health Budget, 2016-17)Volume of provincial expenditure on medicine almost doubled rising to PKR 1.02 billion from 0.67 billion in last budget year 2015-16. Growing sum of public spending on medicine procurement has many factors such as poverty, money devaluation, indigenous production incapacity, and less developed standards of research and development. Apart from all enumerated above, global pharmaceutical patent protection regime under TRIPS Agreement, initiated by WTO, plays a pivotal role increasing public spending on procurement of medicines in developed and least developed countries. This work presents ways for reducing economic burden on state exchequer by exploiting maximum possible flexibilities under WTO regime to procure cost effective medicines. The work will be done in three parts; explaining Pakistan role and status in global pharmaceutical patent protection regime, existing challenges, and potentials for the country to save public spending on health using international legal agreements under WTO

Child psychological maltreatment (CPM) was incorporated into the Quebec Youth Protection Act (YPA) in 2006. At that time, various civil-society actors were invited to present to Parliament their views on these legislative changes. The objective of this article is to document the social representations mobilized by the stakeholders in the parliamentary committee in relation to the inclusion of CPM in the Quebec YPA. After explaining our research objectives, questions, and methodology, we will discuss our results, in particular about the distinctive nature of children as a representational object. This specificity will be analyzed in order to better understand the type of communication it generates and the corresponding hegemonic representation of parents. Specifically, implications related to the representational dynamics identified are discussed in relation to our collective capacity (or incapacity) to debate sensitive issues such as child abuse.

Full textAbstract:
So far, the concept of legal capacity is absent in the acquis communautaire on contract law. This article argues that a common frame of reference and an optional European code of contracts cannot do without rules on legal capacity. In the national contract laws of the Member States the main aim of the invalidity of contracts for incapacity has been the protection of persons against the consequences of a misjudgment of their own interests. This raises the question why the law should only protect persons who belong to a limited number of categories who are presumed not to be able to take proper care of their own interests. This article argues that under European contract law a person who has concluded a contract which is actually (extremely) unbalanced deserves equal protection. Such a ?fair price? rule would contribute to substantive freedom of contract as it would facilitate access to the market. Finally, this article questions whether European contracts should be enforceable if they contribute to severely undermining the capabilities of other people (e.g. child workers in sweatshops) to choose the lives they have reason to value.

Full textAbstract:
Although international precommitment regimes offer a tool to escape the apparent contradiction between sovereignty and the international protection of democracy and human rights, they raise theoretical and practical questions. This article draws on multinational archival research to explore an overlooked historical episode and suggest new thinking regarding the logjams over sovereignty, incapacity of global decision making, and humanitarian imperialism. In 1945 and 1946, the American states engaged in a debate over the Larreta Doctrine, a Uruguayan proposal about the parallelism between democracy and human rights, and the regional rights and duties to safeguard these values. In the ensuing debate, the Uruguayan foreign minister elaborated a tripartite precommitment mechanism to create a web of national commitments to democratic governance and the domestic protection of human rights, to establish a regional insurance policy against failures to maintain those commitments, and to obligate the great power and neighboring states to precommit to working through the regional system instead of unilaterally. As a proposal that emerged from a weak state—and garnered support from states that faced internal and external threats to democracy and rights—the Larreta Doctrine offers insights on the central tension between state sovereignty and international commitments.

Vertebral are not easily injured due to both the strength of the bone structure and the anatomical protection of the soft tissues. Traumas that cause damage to the vertebral column are often high-energy traumas such as traffic accidents. In our study, vertebral fractures seen in patients who applied for a report for disability determination; were aimed to evaluate the fracture site in terms of its sequelae and its provisions in the disability determination charts. In our study, the reports of the cases that were examined by us after applying for disability assessment in Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Forensic Medicine between the years 2019-2021 were examined. Cases with vertebral injuries were included in the study and were examined in terms of age, gender, spine region, additional traumatic findings, sequelae, treatment method, how many points they got from which disability scale, and duration of incapacity. As a result of joint range of motion examinations, in cervical vertebral fractures, limitation of cervical extension movement, in thoracic vertebral fractures, limitation of thoracic flexion movement, in lumbar vertebral fractures, it was determined that the limitation of lumbar extension movement was observed mostly. In our study, vertebral injuries were seen in 17% of the patients who applied for disability detection procedures after a traffic accident. In addition, vertebral injuries are important injuries in terms of public health and health expenditures, as well as important causes of disability and incapacity to work. Vertebral injuries resulting from traffic accidents can cause significant limitations and adversely affect people's lives.

Full textAbstract:
The threat of emergency measures introduced in face of COVID-19 has largely been framed in terms of individual rights. We argue that it is not the protection of the sovereign individual that is most at stake, but the relations between political subjects and the institutions that enable their robust political participation. Drawing on Hannah Arendt’s analysis of the ways in which isolation and the incapacity to discern truth or reality condition totalitarianism and are exacerbated by it, we argue that the dangers for the evacuation of democratic politics are stark in our era. We consider contemporary political action in concert in Germany to illustrate this critique of COVID-19 emergency measures. Drawing on the legal concept of “appropriateness,” we explicate how the German critical response to the shutdown is founded on a concern for democratic principles and institutions, and aims to achieve two crucial goals: governmental transparency and social-political solidarity.

The Mental Capacity Act, which received Royal Assent in April 2005, will come into force in April 2007. The Act puts into statute the legality of interventions in relation to adults who lack capacity to make decisions on their own behalf. The aim of this paper is to outline the main features of the legislation and its impact on those health care professionals who provide care and treatment for incapacitated adults. The paper sets out the underlying ethical principles that govern interventions under the Act's powers and briefly explores the legal definition of incapacity and the process by which capacity is assessed. It looks at the governing notion of 'best interests' and at the legal indemnity provided by the Act for interventions that are in the best interests of an incapacitated adult. It contains sections on the Act's main innovations, including research involving incapacitated adults, lasting powers of attorney and the new Court of Protection. It also provides information on advance decisions to refuse treatment.

This paper aims to analyze how Dalit women are portrayed in literature in Bama's Vanmam. The current study looked specifically at how caste and gender interact in Vanmam, with an emphasis on how Dalit women are portrayed there. The second half of the 20th century saw a thriving output of Tamil-language works by Dalit writers, who are thought to have explored the writers' responses to issues related to the Dalit community's caste identity and its interaction with a gendered social matrix. The book being studied depicts a ten-year proactive involvement in Tamil literary discourse that gave rise to a fresh, lively voice that challenged literary and cultural clichés, establishing new benchmarks and novel perspectives on literary frameworks. Dalit women are depicted as continuously weeping, wailing, wishing for male protection, cursing their femininity, and lamenting their incapacity to maintain their chastity on their own. Instead of being portrayed as fighters like in Bama's novels, they are shown as victims. Dalit women are victims of sexual violence.

IntroductionRates of incapacity to work due to mental disorders have increased in many European countries. The consequences of persistent stress can impact individuals’ physical and psychological well-being and gradually develop into chronic stress. Mental disorders or symptoms of burn-out syndrome can have severe consequences. Mental disorders leading to work incapacity significantly burden the health system. Prevention interventions can protect against burn-out, depression, anxiety and other mental health disorders. Digital health is a promising approach to increase the utilisation of effective prevention interventions. This mixed-methods study evaluates a newly developed app-supported psychosocial prevention intervention called ‘RV Fit Mental Health’ to strengthen participation in working life.Methods and analysisThe study uses a three-stage parallel mixed-methods design. This study accompanies the development (stage 1), piloting (stage 2) and evaluation (stage 3) of the new intervention. Within the stages, there is a quantitative as well as a qualitative research strand. Employed persons with an incipient mental disorder will be included. Additionally, experts within the project or connected areas will be included. Quantitative data will be analysed using multifactorial variance analyses in a pre–post design. Qualitative data will be analysed using qualitative content analysis. The study is a comprehensive research approach to investigate the development, piloting and evaluation of an app-supported psychosocial app-based prevention intervention. The rigour of the study will be achieved through data triangulation.Ethics and disseminationAll participants will receive detailed study information and give written informed consent before data collection. Ethical approval was obtained from the Technical University of Munich Ethics Committee. All data collection will follow all legislative rules regarding data protection, also following the Declaration of Helsinki.

The aims of this study are to analyze and find weaknesses in the regulation of legal protection for wives who have been talak divorced by their husbands due to their husband's mistakes and to find a reconstruction of legal protection regulations for wives who are talak divorced by their husbands due to the husband's mistakes based on the value of justice in a research that uses constructivism paradigm. The approach method used is empirical juridical, namely the application of normative legal provisions in action on divorce legal events, especially divorce divorces. The data used are primary data, secondary data, and tertiary data which were analyzed descriptively. The legal theory used is the theory of Islamic justice, the theory of the legal system and the theory of legal protection. The results of the study show that the weakness of the regulation of legal protection for wives who got talak divorced by their husbands due to the husband's fault lies in the unclear article on the type of reason for the divorce and its consequences, especially when the husband who handed down the divorce was the perpetrator of the affair, and the wife as the victim did not receive compensation. therefore, the legal reconstruction can be done by adding new norms to Article 41 of Law no. 16 of 2019 concerning Amendments to Law No. 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage, and also Article 149 of the Presidential Instruction (INPRES) No. 1 of 1991 concerning the KHI, namely: "The ex-husband is obliged to provide compensation in the form of a year's income to the ex-wife if the divorce is due to the husband's fault, but if the husband is unable to fulfill it then he must make a statement of incapacity and apologize to the wife for not being able to do so able to pay for it.”

Full textAbstract:
The principle of non-refoulement is one of the most relevant instruments of international law for the protection of migrants. This principle prohibits the transfer of migrants to their country of origin in case these persons are afraid of being tortured or persecuted there.To understand the width of its application and the problems linked to the principle of non-refoulement, though, it is appropriate to analyze the various categories of migrants, in order to understand who can receive this protection. This process of analysis of the categories, moreover, highlights the presence of other difficulties in the generalized implementation of the guarantees for migrants. In fact, not all treaties apply to all types of migrants. Even the Geneva Convention to the Status of Refugees, as the name says, only refers to refugees. Specifically, article 1 of the Convention defines as “refugee” the person who “owing to well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality and is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country”; therefore, its protections – including the one given by the principle of non-refoulement, established in article 33 – only guarantee this specific category of migrants; category linked to – as already mentioned - a closed list of possible causes of persecution. Other obstacles towards a harmonized implementation of the principle of non-refoulement can be found also in the differences among the treaties which define the principle. In its first definition, in the Geneva Convention to the Status of Refugees of 1951, the principle forbids the member States to “expel or return (“refouler”) a refugee in any manner whatsoever to the frontiers of territories where his life or freedom would be threatened on account of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion” (Geneva Convention to the Status of Refugees, art. 33). The existence of various definitions and their inadequacy to actual migration patterns create difficulties in the implementation of the principle itself. In this sense, one of the biggest problems in the current scenario is the one given by the application of the principle to mass influxes. This term refers to those migrations characterized by the arrival over an international border of a large number of persons with a rapid rate and by the incapacity of the receiving State to respond adequately to the arrival of migrants (in particular, individual asylum procedures are not sufficient to deal with the high number of migrants). Different international instruments provide a different width of the range of application of the principle; the monitoring organs controlling the implementation of the principle have different levels of efficacy. The uncertainty is even wider in consideration of new migratory movements, such as the mass influxes; hence, States take advantage of this situation in order not to apply the principle of non-refoulement and the other protection for migrants. Having said that, it is impellent to reach a more shared doctrinal view on this topic, in order to cooperate with jurisprudence in order to stimulate the States towards a stronger protection of migrants.

Résumé.Cette étude apour objectif de retracer l’évolution juridique de la protection personnelle des malades mentaux en Europe. Deux point principaux sont envisagés: la protection du patient psychiatrique et celle du malade mental, sujet de droit, dans sa vie privée et familale. Une double comparaison est effectuée entre les différentes solutions d’une part et entre ces dernières et les normes internationales et européennes d’autre part. Même si la Cour européenne des Droits de l’Homme a jouk un rôle unificateur considérable et provoqué des réformes en matière d’hospitalisation et de traitement il n’en demeure pas moins que des progrès seraient encore réalisables tels que l’interdiction absolue des expérimentations médicales, la réglementation des stérilisations. Des mesures complémentaires relatives au rnineur atteint de troubles mentaux devraient en outre être adoptées. Quant au selon volet, les conclusions sont moins optimistes. Dans la plupart des droits l’idéologie ancienne fondée sur l’ordre public, la protection prioritaire des biens survit. Les techniques utilisées reflètent un manque de cohésion et de réflexion globale et synthétique. Des améliorations sont donc souhaitables. L’exemple de la loi allemande substituant l’assistance au régime d’incapacité antérieur pourrait servir de modèle. Abstract. The aim of this study is to trace the development of the legal rules for the protection of mental patients in Europe. Two principal issues are addressed: the protection of psychiatric patients as patients, and the protection of the mentally ill individual in his or her private and family life. A double comparison is undertaken. On the one hand the different national solutions are compared, and on the other, these solutions are measured against the rules of international and European law. Even if the European Court of Human Rights has played a considerable unifactory role, and has promoted reforms in relation to hospitalisation and treatment, it remains true that further progress is possible, such as a complete ban on medical experiments, and the regulation of sterilisation. Complementary measures concerned with less serious mental disturbances should also be adopted. As to the likelihood that these wishes will be fulfilled, the picture is less optimistic. In most legal systems traditional patterns of thought based on public policy and the high priority given to the protection of property survive. The methods adopted reflect a lack of cohesion and of consideration of the problem in the round. Improvements are therefore to be desired. German law, which has replaced the former regime of incapacity with one of assistance, could serve as a model.

Introduction During the COVID-19 pandemic, a set of social measures were adopted for the preservation of business activity and the protection of workers. One of these measures was issuing the Temporary Disability (TD) for COVID-19 cases, close contacts, and especially vulnerable workers. Objetive This study analyzes whether the TD registry could be used as a complementary source to traditional epidemiological surveillance. Methods A longitudinal study of time series was carried out with a cross-correlation analysis of TD and COVID-19 cases reported to the National Epidemiological Surveillance Network (RENAVE). The analysis included six pandemic waves between 10/03/2020 and 31/12/2021 in Spain. Cross-correlation coefficients (r) were calculated using a time lag of -14 days. Results During the study period, 2,253,573 TD processes were recorded in Spain and 4,894,802 COVID-19 cases were reported to RENAVE. Significant positive correlations were observed at time lags of -7, -10, and -14, indicating that TD notification preceded RENAVE notification. In the first and sixth pandemic waves, TD notification preceded RENAVE by 12 and 7 days, respectively. Negative correlations between the two series were observed in the second and fourth waves, coinciding with a lower number of reported cases. In the third and fifth waves, TD notification also preceded RENAVE (lags -1, -5 and -14, -7, respectively). Conclusions The results confirm the usefulness of TD registry as a complementary system to traditional epidemiological surveillance in Spain, by detecting COVID-19 cases in the 7, 10, and 14 days prior. A better positive correlation is observed in waves where more cases were reported.
