Abstract:
This themed section brings together the disciplines of sociology, social work and social policy in order to examine the ways in which contemporary familial diversity is recognised in comparative welfare state regimes. Contributors interrogate the ways in which such diversity is supported in national legislation, policy developments and acknowledged in everyday social work practice. In doing so, the section examines if and how these demographic trends and sociological conceptualisations are reflected in comparative welfare state systems and/or policy related to family. Selected articles will also consider if and how social workers, as ‘street level bureaucrats’ (Lipsky, 1980), incorporate these changes in familial structures, and related policy, into their decision making processes and everyday practice.

Abstract:
This introduction to the special issue “Societies under Stress” provides an intellectual context for the four articles that follow. The conferences at which the articles were presented brought together comparative welfare state researchers and scholars who work on crime and punishment to explore the links between social welfare and penal policy, particularly in social settings where neoliberal austerity or rising levels of criminal violence put pressure on these fields of social policy. Participants were drawn from Europe, the United States, and Latin America and represented a variety of social science disciplines and an eclectic mix of research methodologies.

Abstract:
In this study, as the demand for social welfare services increases, the number of social welfare workers is increasing in quantity, and the poor treatment of social welfare workers is continuously pointed out. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to establish basic data and set policy directions for improving treatment through a survey on the perception of treatment of social welfare workers. As a result of the study, 55.2% of respondents were not satisfied with the level of remuneration compared to the intensity of work, and 61.1% of respondents were not satisfied with the level of satisfaction compared to workers in similar occupations. In addition, to improve the remuneration system, compliance with the government's remuneration guidelines, overtime work allowance, and the introduction of the child school expenses system were found to be high. As a policy measure for this, a single wage system should be introduced to improve the remuneration of social welfare workers, and support for welfare programs should be expanded. In addition, unification of policies is required to improve the treatment of social welfare workers, and expansion of emotional support programs is required to restore trust among social welfare workers.

Abstract:
Social Welfare Information System (SWIS) – Social Card is digital transformation in the service of the social and child protection system reform in Montenegro, with the aim of providing the highest quality of social protection for the poor and socially endangered, in the area of material benefits and social and child protection services. This capital project of the Montenegrin Government has significantly improved the way social work centers’ work, because it has supported all business processes and enabled the creation of a single “social card” of the citizens involved in the system of social welfare and child protection services. This paper presents the information system in social work centers and public institutions for accommodation of beneficiaries (which include direct practice, decision-making and case management, information flow management, storage of historical and up-to-date data on beneficiaries and their families), as well as the benefits of this system for beneficiaries, social and child welfare employees and policy makers. SWIS is an important instrument for targeted funding, provision, monitoring and control of material benefits and services provided to families and individuals, and it has improved the capacity of the Government of Montenegro to plan, monitor and manage social and child protection services. The development and introduction of this software required intensive cooperation of experts, employees in the field of social and child protection, software company S&T (Serbia and Montenegro), UNDP and the Directorate for Informatics and Analytical and Statistical Affairs of the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare. Key words: digitalization in social protection; SWIS; material benefits; social and child protection services; institutions for accommodation of users

Abstract:
Aboriginal, and in particular First Nations children, are overrepresented in the child welfare system across Canada. While information about child welfare services provided to First Nations children and families in Québec is sparse, the evidence that does exist supports the national trends of overrepresentation. Understanding how child welfare services are delivered in Québec is essential in comprehending how First Nations peoples receive, and are impacted by, the various methods of child welfare delivery in this province. The first section of this paper presents an overview of First Nations child welfare history, describing colonial and child welfare policies responsible for the removal of tens of thousands of First Nations children from their homes and communities. The next section outlines current socioeconomic, legislative, jurisdictional and funding challenges in the delivery of First Nations child welfare, linking them to the historical development described in the first section. It also presents an overview of the current structure of the First Nations child welfare system in Canada and Québec, examining some of the research regarding the response of Québec's child welfare system to the complex needs of First Nations children and families. Finally, the paper concludes with a discussion of the factors contributing to the overrepresentation of First Nations children in the child welfare system including the impact of historical assimilationist policies, the socioeconomic status of First Nations peoples in Canada and the development of First Nations child welfare services. Implications for practice, policy and future research are also discussed.
Les enfants autochtones, en particulier les enfants des Premières nations, sont surreprésentés dans les services de protection de la jeunesse à travers le Canada. Bien que les données sur les services de protection de la jeunesse offerts aux enfants et familles des Premières nations au Québec soient limitées, celles-ci soutiennent la tendance nationale de surreprésentation. Il est essentiel de comprendre l'offre de services de la protection de la jeunesse l'enfance au Québec afin de saisir comment les Premières nations reçoivent et sont affectées par les divers méthodes d'offre de services de protection de la jeunesse dans cette province. La première partie de ce document présente un survol historique de la protection de la jeunesse chez les Premières nations, décrivant les politiques coloniales et de la protection de la jeunesse responsables du retrait de dizaines de milliers d'enfants des Premières nations de leur famille et de leur communauté. La section suivante donne un aperçu des défis socioéconomiques, législatifs, juridictionnels et de financement de la protection de la jeunesse des Premières nations, les reliant à l'évolution historique telle que décrite dans la première section. Elle présente aussi un portrait de la structure actuelle de l'offre de services de la protection de la jeunesse des Premières nations au Canada et au Québec, en examinant certaines études concernant la réponse du système québécois de la protection de la jeunesse aux besoins complexes des enfants et des familles des Premières nations. Une discussion des facteurs qui contribuent à la surreprésentation des enfants des Premières nations dans le système de la protection de la jeunesse, y compris l'impact des politiques assimilationnistes, la situation socioéconomique des peuples des Premières nations au Canada et l'évolution des services de protection de la jeunesse des Premières nations, conclut ce document. Les implications pour la pratique, les politiques et les recherches ultérieures sont également discutées.

Miller, Rebecca. "Attachment theory use by child welfare workers." Thesis, McGill University, 2008. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=18662.

Full text
Abstract:
Children placed in foster care are at an increased risk for attachment difficulties due to the maltreatment they may have suffered, the separation from their primary caregivers, as well as the possibility of repeated moves to various foster homes. This raises questions as to the extent to which child welfare workers incorporate attachment theory in planning for children in care. Replicating a study originally conducted by R. K Grigsby (1994) in the United States of America, worker's use of attachment theory was examined through a review of a sample of 30 files belonging to children between the ages of 0 and 3 currently in foster care with Batshaw Youth and Family Centres. The results of the file review indicate that concepts related to attachment are generally included in most files. However, relatively few cases include comprehensive attachment assessments. Practice implications including the need for increased attachment training are also discussed.
Les enfants placés dans les foyers d'accueil courent un risque élevé de difficultés d'attachement affectif dû au mauvais traitement qu'ils peuvent avoir subi antérieurement, à la séparation de leur parent, ainsi qu'à la possibilité de déménagements répétés entre plusieurs différents foyers. Ceci pose la question : dans quelle mesure les travailleurs sociaux incorporent-ils une théorie de l'attachement affectif dans la planification des soins d'un enfant? Reproduisant une étude menée aux États-Unis par R.K. Grigsby (1994), l'utilisation par les travailleurs sociaux d'une théorie de l'attachement a été examinée par moyen de l'analyse d'un échantillon de trente dossiers d'enfants âgés de 0 à 3 ans et présentement dans des foyers d'accueil des Centres de la jeunesse et de la famille Batshaw. Les résultats de l'analyse démontrent que des concepts liés à l'attachement affectif sont généralement contenus dans la majorité des dossiers, mais que peu des cas poursuivent des évaluations complètes de l'attachement. Les incidences sur la pratique, y compris le besoin d'une augmentation de la formation en attachement, sont aussi considérées.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the current kinship initiative within the field of Child Welfare in Ontario by reviewing its history and exploring any obstacles that may be preventing the support of this program. Key themes that were derived from the data include economic, policy and legislative barriers to permanency and workplace culture creating barriers. Recommendations include the support of specialized kinship workers and assessors, increased funding to support this model and kinship service families, centralized government services and a more universal direction from the Ministry regarding service delivery. Implications for social work practice, policy and further research were also discussed and included less frustration with the program, resulting in an increase of referrals and continued growth and sustainability of placements; the end result would be fewer children entering foster care. The possibilities for future research include: evaluating permanency outcomes for children in kinship in-care versus kinship out-of-care, exploring what the long term social and economic impact of skipped-generation parenting will have on kin, and to assess if funding constraints and legal limitations are impacting clinical case planning in Child Welfare.
Le but de cette étude est d'évaluer l'initiative de parenté actuelle dans le domaine de la protection des enfants en Ontario en examinant son histoire et en explorant les obstacles qui peuvent empêcher la prise en charge de ce programme. Les thèmes qui ont été dérivées les données comprennent économique, création des barrières de la culture des obstacles politiques et des lois à la permanence et le lieu de travail. Recommandations comprennent la prise en charge des travailleurs de parenté spécialisés et des assesseurs, augmentés le financement à l'appui de ce modèle parenté service familles, services gouvernementaux centralisée et une direction plus universelle du ministère concernant la prestation de services. Implications pour la pratique du travail social, politique et poursuivre les recherches ont également discutées et inclus les moins frustration avec le programme, ce qui entraîne une augmentation des renvois et a continué de croissance et la durabilité des placements ; le résultat final serait moins d'enfants entrant soins foster. Les possibilités pour de futures recherches incluent : évaluer les résultats de la permanence pour enfants dans la parenté en soins versus parenté out-de-soins, exploration quel le long terme impact social et économique des responsabilités parentales génération ignoré aura sur kin, et d'évaluer si le financement des contraintes et des restrictions juridiques sont perturber une planification cas cliniques dans le bien-être de l'enfant.

Abstract:
Child Welfare Responses to Suspected Cases of Child Sexual Abuse: A Critique It is posited that the incest taboo, and associated horror, constitutes obstacles to clinical intervention with incestuous families. Twenty-eight child welfare workers were sampled through qualitative interviews, demographic questionnaires, and the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ). Interviews explored topics associated with their personal and professional experiences investigating allegations of abuse among incestuous families. Subjects were questioned regarding their understanding of incest, its etiology, existing and ideal public strategies for mediating incest, their clinical experiences with incestuous families, and systemic aspects related to working within child welfare when dealing with incest. The Mental States Rating Scale (MSRS) was exploited to identify emotional reactions to clinically relevant material, complementing qualitative data and providing for quantitative data analysis. Although exploratory, results with this sample population suggest both systemic and individual obstacles to clinical intervention with incestuous families.
L'intervention clinique dans le traitement des abus sexuelles: une critique. Il est généralement reconnu que les sentiments d'horreur et les tabous associés à l'inceste constituent un obstacle pour les professionnels placés en situation d'intervention clinique auprès de familles soupçonnées d'inceste. Vingt-huit intervenants rattachés auprès des services et des sociétés de la protection de la jeunesse ont été invité à se prononcer sur différents sujets tous reliés à leur travail mené auprès des familles soupçonnées de relations incestueuses. Les questions portaient surtout sur leurs expériences personnelles et professionnelles. Le questionnaire couvrait plusieurs points d'intérêts; leur compréhension de l'inceste, son étiologie, les stratégies de médiation existantes et idéales servant à favoriser l'intervention auprès des familles touchées, leurs expériences cliniques et finalement leur rôle professionnel. L'échelle d'évaluation MSRS a été utilisée pour mesurer la mobilisation de mécanismes de défenses ressenties en situation d'interventions cliniques. Le CTQ a été utilisé pour qualifier les histoires d'abus. Ces deux outils se complémentent dans l'analyse des données qualitatives et quantitatives. Le résultat de cette enquête exploratoire auprès de cette population sélective suggère qu'il y a des obstacles systémiques et individuels lorsque les intervenants sociales se trouvent en situation d'intervention clinique auprès des familles en situation incestueuse

Abstract:
The purpose of this research was to determine the odds for low-income households to become and remain economically self-sufficient as a result of participating in federallyfunded welfare programs. An evaluation in nature, this study assessed the merits and shortcomings of federally-funded welfare programs. Using the public-use version of the 2008 Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) Panel, this quasi-experimental investigation compartmentalized 4,216 low-income households into two groups: an intervention group (n = 2,436) and a comparison group (n = 1,780). Households in the intervention group received one or more federal means-tested welfare benefits for the most part of the 2008-2013 quinquennium. By contrast, those in the comparison group— although eligible for these benefits—did not receive them. Based on the premises of the theory of policy design and social construction, the culture of poverty theory, the racial classification model, and the social control thesis, the following two hypotheses were formulated: (1) Low-income households who receive one or more lower-tier federal means-tested benefits will be less likely to attain and maintain economic self-sufficiency vii than their counterparts who do not participate in federal welfare programs and (2) Lowincome households that enroll in more welfare programs will have worse self-sufficiency outcomes than their counterparts that participate in fewer programs. The survey respondents were measured repeatedly over a 56-month period to assess whether welfare receipt impacts their household income steadily beyond 150 percent of the federal poverty level, after controlling for known predictors. Findings from binomial logistic regression displayed medium effect sizes indicating that participation in public assistance did decrease the likelihood of attainment and maintenance of economic self-sufficiency among low-income American households. These findings were interpreted within the context of pre-existing differences that may have existed between the intervention group and the comparison group which were not accounted for in the multivariate analysis. Macro-implications of these findings for poverty and social welfare stakeholders were discussed.

Abstract:
This study was created with the hope of empowering Naskapi elders and community members to share their reflections and experiences with current and past social welfare policies and practices within the community of Kawawachikamach. Community members participated actively in consultation group sharing sessions where they voiced their personal distresses incurred through encounters with the child welfare system over the years. The original purpose of the study was to explore how family group conferencing and related strength based techniques could be adapted to create a culturally appropriate case planning and decision making model in the First Nations community of Kawawachikamach. However, community members' needs were overwhelming and their search for personal and community healing led to more discussion and sharing for a community vision for health instead of a reflection on the adaptation of models. Community members enjoyed being provided with this information and were hopeful for their community after seeing some adaptations which had been made in other communities. Naskapis believe that one solution is to engage families as much as possible in child welfare practices and that whenever possible solutions would be first looked at within the family and extended family and by services being fully supportive of these entities. This solution is one of several included in a set of recommendations created for the community. The study participants are eager to present these recommendations to their community as well as focus on change by following a detailed action plan created to re-evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the current child and family development services.
Cette étude a été créé pour donner l`opportunité aux membres de la communauté Naskapi de partager leurs réflexions et leurs expériences actuels avec les pratiques de la protection de l'enfance au sein de la communauté de Kawawachikamach. Des membres de la communauté ont participé activement aux séances de consultation du groupe de partage où ils ont exprimé leurs angoisses personnelles engagées par des rencontres avec le système de protection de l'enfance au fil des ans. Le but initial de l'étude était d'explorer comment les conférences du groupe familial et des techniques de base de résistance connexes pourraient être adaptés pour créer un modèle culturel de dans la communauté de Kawawachikamach. Toutefois, les besoins des membres collectifs ont été écrasante et leur recherche pour la guérison personnelle conduit à davantage de discussions et le partage d'une vision communautaire pour la santé au lieu d'une réflexion sur l'adaptation des modèles.

Kaufman, James. "The welfare racket : conditionality and marketised activation in street-level welfare-to-work services." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2018. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/8853/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis investigates everyday encounters between benefit recipients and street-level welfare agencies in an era of behavioural conditionality, marketised ‘activation’, and neoliberal paternalism. Central to this thesis is a concern with the relational dynamics that policies of ‘behavioural conditionality’ and ‘mandatory activation’ produce, explored through reflexive analysis of the researcher’s own experiences as a street-level activation worker, and thirty in-depth interviews with former colleagues, other street-level staff, and benefit recipients. Informed by relational and psychosocial theorisations of both the subject and street-level welfare organisations, the thesis looks at the interactions between symbolic/ideological representation, individual agency, and street-level organisation. Arguing that attention to the dynamic, libidinal investments of street-level employees casts familiar street-level practices in a new light, the thesis draws attention to a dynamic of illusio-disillusionment (Bourdieu, 2000) among street-level staff, re-rendering familiar practices of ‘creaming and parking’ in terms of punishment and protection. Similarly, it is argued that specific instances of support, indifference, and/or sanction do not exist as discrete experiences in the life of claimants, but as ongoing possibilities, producing a situation of ever-present surveillance and threat. In this way, conditional activation services come to resemble a protection racket, in which both the threat and means of defence are produced simultaneously. These dynamic materialisations of behavioural conditionality are situated with respect to the ideology of neoliberal paternalism, which at street-level takes the form of magical voluntarism, and the enforcement of an anti-sociological imaginary which, it is argued, results in the denial and effective privatisation of the troubles, difficulties, and needs that bring people to welfare services in the first place.

Abstract:
Uganda är ett av världens fattigaste länder i dag. Med en kraftigt utbredd fattigdom som försvåras av att landet har en bristande demokrati, vilket har lett till utbredd korruption i landet. Vilkoren för att skapa social välfärd och att bedriva socialt arbete är begränsat. Jag har i detta arbete valt att undersöka hur ett antal personer i Uganda med socialt arbete som specialitet, hur de ser på social välfärd i Uganda. Vilka hinder finns och hur ska man kunna bygga upp social välfärd som inkluderar hela befolkningen, var några av frågorna jag ställde mig. Mitt empiriska material består av sex stycken intervjuer av personer i Uganda som har anknytning till socialt arbete. Jag valde att använda mig av en kvalitativ intervjumetod för att på det viset få en djupare inblick i mina informanters svar på mina frågeställningar. För att underbygga min studie har jag också använt mig av teoretiskt material i form av forskning kring social utveckling och social välfärd. Min studie visar på att definitionerna av välfärd tillhör de mer grundläggande basbehoven. Vilkoren och hinderna för att bygga upp social välfärd kantas av korruption, ojämn resursfördelning likväl som tribalism. Trots misstron mot regeringen visar min studie att regeringen faktiskt borde stå för den sociala välfärden men med ett lokalt samarbete mellan befolkningen och regeringen för att på det viset tillgodose befolkningens behov.
Uganda is one of the world`s poorest countries today. With widespread poverty that has been worsen by the absence of democracy and the presence of widespread corruption. The conditions to create a social welfare system and to carry out social work are limited. I have chosen in this paper to find out how a number of people in Uganda who are specialised in social work view social work in Uganda. What obstacle are present and how social welfare, which includes the hole population in Uganda can be achieved are some of the questions are intended to answer. My empirical materials consist of six interviews of persons with connection to social work. I chose a qualitative method of interview because in this way I will get a deeper insight into my informers answer of the questions asked. To support my study I have also used some theoretical materials in the form of research done on social development and social welfare. My study shows that the definitions of welfare are about the most basic needs. The conditions to put in place a social welfare system are being punctuated by corruptions, unequal distribution of the countries recourses and by tribalism. Despite the distrust of government, my study shows that the government should in fact be responsible for the implementation of social welfare but with the collaboration of the local population. In that respect, the government will see to everyone’s need.

Abstract:
Burnout in the social work field is becoming increasingly common due to the emotional intensity of the client-social worker relationship and job demands. Research has shown that burnout has detrimental effects not only on the social worker themselves but on clients and agencies as well. Limited research exists examining which professional setting of social work experiences the highest level of burnout. This study used secondary data collected by, Dr. Lizano in 2016 from the 4thAnnual California State University, San Bernardino BASW and MSW Field Instructor Training. A quantitative method was used to analyze which setting of social work (child welfare, mental health, medical, and educational) has the highest level of burnout. Findings from this study suggest there is a relationship between mental health social workers experiencing burnout compared to the other fields of social work. Specifically, depersonalization was the only dimension of job burnout that had significant findings among mental health social workers. This study has implications on both the micro and macro level of social work. Being able to identity which setting of social work is suffering the most from burnout is crucial to develop preventative measures for social worker well-being.

Abstract:
The bond between animals and humans is one that has been consistent and unyielding since the beginning of time. Although animals have a long working history in assisting on battlefields and working for the police, it is only within recent decades that they have started expanding their job duties to include disaster relief, educational supports, and trauma care. This movement of training canines for specialty fields to work alongside their human companions comes at a time when the field of social work is also diversifying to a more expansive and accessible profession. This study will use interview style questions to assess the beliefs, experience and attitudes of canine assistance of eight current MSW students throughout Southern California. The research was conducted in face to face interviews which were audio recorded and transcribed word for word to examine common themes. The findings of the study may help to encourage further integration of social work and canine assisted therapies.

Abstract:
AbstractThe research landscape in the area of forecasting and assessing working conditions has become increasingly difficult to understand. There are plenty of identified reasons, drivers and catchwords to describe a systemic transformation. Individual- and subject-specific approaches to describe and understand the changes to work are being developed in almost every scientific discipline, as well as by (economic) associations and actors in the sociopolitical spheres. Despite all complexity and contradictions, ‘digitalization’ seems to be one focal point when it comes to identifying independent variables to explain the ‘future of work’. The corresponding discussions, analyses, recommendations and scenarios can be found under the well-known headings ‘Work 4.0’, ‘Industry 4.0’, ‘Education 4.0’, ‘Society 4.0’, etc. In addition to systemic descriptions, oftentimes dominated by economics and business management approaches, there are changing individual, subject-inherent perceptual understandings indicating a change in social values with regard to work and its function. Ultimately, for the majority of the population and the (welfare) state, work remains the necessary prerequisite for financially securing their livelihoods.

Abstract Let’s start with you. The audience for this work is you, a student in the social sciences. Many of the problems discussed in this book will probably be new to you, perhaps not entirely, but still. Yet, right from the beginning of your studies, you have been confronted with certain demands, regulations, and procedures, all driven by certain ethical considerations that you’re supposed to be aware of and adopt. You’re supposed to be trustworthy, reliable, honest, impartial, and objective if you want to call yourself a researcher. Ah yes, but how? It seems you’ve got some catching up to do.

Abstract:
AbstractInternational comparison of welfare states offers a way for understanding how welfare states have contributed to the constitution of life course transitions and the different ways in which they are being shaped. The chapter introduces the concept of “transition regimes”, a comparative model developed with regard to school-to-work-transitions. The aim is to question if and to what extent this model can contribute to the objectives of reflexive transition research that extends the research of how individual transitions progress to how they are constantly re-constituted. In detail, this implies relating the analysis of comprehensive constellations with the discursive, institutional and individual practices involved in doing transitions. The chapter starts with an overview of international studies of school-to-work-transitions. This is followed by a review of comparative welfare research and the introduction of the concept of transition regimes, which is then related to the concept of doing transitions. The conclusion explores the contribution of comparative analysis of transition regimes for reflexive transition research.

Abstract:
AbstractThe first chapter is of introductory character. I set the aims of my analysis which is based on the in-depth interviews about the reconciliation of parenthood and paid work. The book resolves around the narratives of 53 parents of children aged 0–8 years living in Poland. The interviewed parents differ in terms of social and economic backgrounds, family situation (coupled and single parents, divorced parents, reconstituted families) and place of living (countryside, small, medium and large cities). I describe the research sample and methodological choices I made during my fieldwork. These introductory remarks lead to a summary of the main themes of the book: parenting in the context of the organisation of paid work, care work and domestic work, gender and economic inequalities, as well as the role of the welfare state. This chapter ends by looking ahead through summaries of each of the following five chapters.

Abstract:
Background: Pension provision of citizens of Ukraine currently remains one of the most important problems of the socio-economic development of the state. The existing system of pension insurance does not adequately fulfill its main task, since the size of pensions mostly does not provide an opportunity to maintain a minimum standard of living. Purpose: To investigate the features of pension provision for persons who have reached retirement age in Ukraine and world experience. Methods: A method of analysis, evaluation, comparison and generalization. Results: After analyzing the state of the pension system, it can be considered a crisis, because the pension does not protect pensioners from poverty, the system is also socially unfair, the Pension Fund receives significant subsidies from the budget in order to be able to pay pensions to the elderly. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the state of pension provision in Ukraine today is quite low. The pension system needs to be reformed, namely, the introduction of reforms in the solidarity system, the creation of an accumulation system and the development of voluntary pension provision, because reducing the level of pension payments cannot be a real alternative, as it will lead to an increase in poverty among elderly citizens. Therefore, the reforms should be aimed at reducing the inflow of new pensioners and increasing the number of people paying pension contributions. Keywords: retirement age, pension system, pension system reform, joint pension system.

Abstract:
Background: Statistics on the number of blood donors and blood donations in Poland have been decreasing every year for the last decade. This state of affairs raises the need for the social sciences to engage in research into the barriers to attracting new donors and retaining ongoing donors. Purpose: The objective of this article is to outline the two main barriers to attracting new blood donors and retaining existing ones. The second A second aim is also to highlight the fact that no research in the domain of social sciences has so far been undertaken in Poland to reverse the declining trend in the number of donors and donations. Methods: An analysis of the literature on the subject and GUS data was used. Results: The analysis identified two key barriers that require the development of Polish adaptations of tools to empirically investigate them. Conclusion: There is an important need to focus on the issue of blood donation in Poland. Investigating all the variables behind the declining number of donors will allow the declining trend to be reversed. A lack of research into factors that strengthen the motivation to donate blood may have serious and negative consequences in the coming decades. Keywords: Blood donations, psychology, Poland, psychological barriers.

Abstract:
The research aims to demonstrate the role of the shift towards investment in environmentally friendly industries using technology, knowledge and technology in achieving sustainability of natural resources and economic and social returns, using the lamps industry in Iraq as a model to achieve this. The research adopted the hypothesis that “investment in environmentally friendly industries contributes to sustainable economic resources, reduces production costs, and achieves economic and social welfare”. Depending on the descriptive, inductive and analytical method, and using the theoretical basis and the applied practical model, to reach the validity of the hypothesis or not. The research concluded that the Iraqi economic resources need more work and serious efforts to maintain their sustainability through the use of environmentally friendly production inputs and the possibility of benefiting and recycling industrial consumables to preserve the natural resources. Therefore, the research recommends serious work to harness technology, applied science and art in directing investment towards environmentally friendly products in Iraq, by finding industrial alternatives that enter cleaner production and compensating them for the inputs with environmental risks

Abstract:
The research paper examined the challenges faced by women in Georgia when startingan entrepreneurial activity. The research was conducted using the STAR (Situation,Task, Action, Result) interview method with focus groups. It was found that women'sentrepreneurial activity contributes not only to family income, but also plays animportant role in economic development and social welfare. The productivity ofwomen's entrepreneurship and their economic contribution depends on the country'slevel of development and cultural norms. In most regions of the world, local ethics andcultural values strongly define the role of women, which prevents women from pursuingentrepreneurship far from their home areas around the world.The purpose of the study is to examine the challenges faced by women in starting anentrepreneurial activity in Georgia, which will help society to identify the difficultiesthat prevent women from choosing an entrepreneurial activity and advancing theirentrepreneurial career. Gender inequality in employment, education and incomedistribution still exists in Georgia. The majority of the population in Georgia formallyshares the idea of gender equality. At the same time, a certain part of the populationshares the idea of the traditional distribution of gender roles.In the research work the difficulties that prevent women from choosing entrepreneurialactivities and advancing their entrepreneurial career have been revealed. In particular,individual and situational factors affecting business start-up as well as factorsinfluencing the business idea were identified.

Abstract:
While the so-called “datafication of society” increased the societal relevance of quantitative data analysis, social science students – who should use such data to understand and explain society – are often skeptical towards quantitative methods and overwhelmed by it. Thus, universities around the world should find means to help their students improve their corresponding analytical skills. The paper uses a case study from the University of Salzburg – Austria – to illustrate which aspects actually improve student-learning outcomes in the field of quantitative methods. The researched aspects focus on the program and institutional levels and address two specific issues: The evaluation and feedback on student performance and the introduction of additional support structures. While homework and feedback still show the best results additional – technology based – approaches like video-tutorials have a significant impact on student performance.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Summary: Introduction: Modern developed and civilized society is based on the principles of democracy, humanism, and pluralism. In his social center stands the person - the person with individual rights, duties, and responsibilities. People are born different, unique, with individual desires, opportunities, dreams, and interests, but with equal rights in society. Equality and the absence of any discrimination is a fundamental principle in advanced civil societies and social systems. Methodology: In the research process, we have applied: informational research, document analysis, and historical analysis, conclusions, based on personal experience, monitoring, synthesis, and theoretical analysis. Results: Based on this pilot study have been created practical recommendation for integration through golf. Discussion: The results obtained suggest that golf can successfully enhance integration processes in society, as well as improve the social inclusion of all social groups at risk. Golf has immense potential for combating youth unemployment, provoking and developing the various social knowledge, skills, and competences that everyone needs, regardless of their social status, gender, race, or ethnicity. Conclusion: It is of the utmost importance for society to continue to work on the topic by promoting and guaranteeing greater impact on problems and solutions in this area, promoting good practices for integration and social inclusion.

Full text
Abstract:
Introduction. This investigation focuses on the information behaviour of parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) inside an organisation (Aletea) located in Montevideo-Uruguay. This study aims to make visible the information needs these parents experience when making decisions for their children’s welfare. It is the first phase of an investigation to provide an indepth comparison with other countries. Method. A literature review, database analyses and web searches were done to standardise the current work with the methodology of the field. Also, with a convenience sample, 12 semi-structured interviews were conducted among parents of this organisation. Analysis. Qualitative analyses were carried out as all the interviews were recorded on audio with prior consent of the interviewees. The questions were classified into categories and sub-categories for a better understanding of the results. Results. Parents' information practices demonstrate obstacles and difficulties in seeking and accessing available and reliable sources regarding autism spectrum disorder. The lack of information generated at local levels leads to consulting and sharing information with their closest contacts and social networks, especially their peers in parent groups. Conclusion. It is considered necessary to continue with this line of research both in Uruguay and around the world since there is a lack of studies on this subject.

Abstract:
COVID-19 had, and continues to have, a strong negative effect on incomes in Ireland due to widespread job losses as the measures put in place to slow the spread of the disease resulted in severe economic restrictions. Despite the existence of unemployment supports, additional income supports were introduced to protect incomes. As public health restrictions lift and the economy recovers, we face the withdrawal of such supports. We examine these supports and the role they played in supporting incomes. By profiling those who benefitted most from the new schemes, we highlight the groups most at risk of significant income losses as they wind down. We consider what gaps in the social welfare system necessitated the introduction of such schemes in the first place, along with potential future policy changes to ensure that the social welfare system can provide adequate income protection and financial incentives to work as we emerge from the COVID-19 crisis.
