Resumen
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.

Resumen
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.

Resumen
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.

Resumen
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

Resumen
In the Indo-European Myths at the start we get the golden age. Here we get the highest level of security, wellbeing and welfare. The golden age is followed by the silver age, the bronze and finally the iron age. These ages are characterized by the introduction of more and more science, education and technology. The more of these the less security, wellbeing and welfare. This view is very explicit in the Greek and Roman mythology. In the work of J. J. Rousseau we find the same ideas. In the 14th century we see the reversal. It is believed that science, education and technology is the basic source of progress, wellbeing, security and welfare. In the 20th and 21th century this view is more and more questioned. Not that much the relevance of science, education and technology, but rather what type of these is needed, acceptable, relevant, applicable… This is the issue we bring forward in this contribution and the challenge of the adagium: “The more simplicity and the more transparency, the more security and safety for wellbeing and survival” as well as “Sophistication is a cover for hidden targets”?

Resumen
Abstract Class action lawsuits have become an increasingly common way to facilitate institutional reform. The purpose of this article is to provide an introduction to social workers of child welfare reform by class action lawsuits and subsequent consent decrees. The authors provide an overview of class action lawsuits, with a focus on their role in implementing systematic change in the United States. They highlight consent decrees as a means of settling class action lawsuits. They illustrate the current state of the child welfare system and how child advocacy groups have used class action lawsuits to initiate reform. Authors provide two case examples of child welfare reform by consent decree and engage in comparative analysis to investigate similarities and differences in the two cases. Finally, they note implications for social work practice and education and provide recommendations to equip and train social workers involved in child welfare services.

Resumen
The article focuses on the core contradictions within the development of the social non-profit sector in Russia. The empirical basis of the study comprises statistical data, legal documents regulating the social services’ sphere, research data from previous studies conducted in Russia, as well as qualitative data collected for this study. The introduction provides background information on the stages of reforming the social service system in Russia. The first part is devoted to the contradictions between international trends and Russian patterns. In line with a neoliberal approach, non-profit NGOs play a significant role as key actors in social work providing social services for different client groups. At the same time, they are not independent and Russian civil society is not yet strong enough to realize social rights of citizens. In the next section, some of the key issues of interaction between the government and NGOs are discussed. An analysis of the current situation demonstrates that while a social partnership between the state and NGOs is affirmed by authorities on official level, in practice, the state still dominates the social sector. The article then focuses on how Russian NGOs have reoriented their efforts toward financial sustainability through government support.

Resumen
Upon learning that John C. Harsanyi (1920–2000) was awarded the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, in 1994, for his pioneering work in game theory, few economists probably questioned the appropriateness of that choice. The Budapest-born social scientist had already been recognized as a first-rank contributor to non-cooperative game theory for some time (see, e.g., Gul 1997). However, as many readers of this journal will be aware, Harsanyi first contributed to welfare economics, not game theory. More importantly, he was philosophically minded and accordingly has been “acknowledged as the most influential philosopher in economics” (Güth 1994: 252).1 This is of some significance since, before Harsanyi became acquainted with economics around 1950, his main interest was philosophy and, to a lesser extent, sociology and psychology. Rather than an economist with philosophical leanings, Harsanyi was actually a philosopher turned economist.

Resumen
The last decades have seen a shift towards activation policies in welfare states, such as the introduction programme for refugees in Norway, a qualification programme that seeks to prepare refugees for the labour market. In the last decade, the programme has placed further focus on refugees’ duties rather than their rights, as it had previously done. This article examines the strategies that work counsellors in the introduction programme use to ‘activate’ and assist newly arrived refugees as they prepare to enter the Norwegian labour market. We focus on how work counsellors guide and motivate refugees in this process. We draw on 10 semi-structured interviews with work counsellors in various municipalities in southwestern Norway. We suggest that the activating strategies used by the work counsellors may be seen as a form of aspirations management to get the refugees to shift their aspirations toward those the work counsellors see as more achievable within a shorter period, to get them more quickly into the labour market. We suggest that unchecked power dynamics, together with increasing time-pressure on work counsellors, may be at play leading them to exert too much influence, and leading to user involvement practice not being properly implemented.

Resumen
In this introduction to the special issue of Sociologia del lavoro, devoted to labour transformations and welfare policies in the context of the ecological crisis, the authors review the state of the debate, focusing on three emerging concepts: climate justice, just transition and sustainable welfare. They provide an analysis of the academic and non-academic contexts in which these concepts have emerged and the kinds of programmatic questions that they raise for the study of labour transformations, social movements and welfare policies. After discussing how the collected contributions operationalise the three concepts in different empirical and research contexts, the article outlines some critical gaps that warrant being addressed or explored further and propose a few methodological and analytical pointers that are useful for the continuation of the debate and, thus, the growth of a field of analysis that is destined to occupy a major space in the sociology of labour.

Resumen
The age profile of a country influences the organization of healthcare arrangements for older people. In southern European countries, the low performance of the welfare state and traditional family-oriented culture have led to an informal and gendered model of care, with women often responsible for the (unpaid) caregiving work. However, the increasing female participation in the labour market challenges these welfare regimes, prompting a shift in family responsibilities outside the family. Moreover, in response to the growing need for long-term care workers, some European countries have relied on individuals with a “migratory background” rather than restructuring their public elderly care services. This article examines the demographic, cultural, economic, and social changes of southern welfare regimes. The introduction of policies that, directly or indirectly, eliminate gender stereotypes in informal caregiving work and the diffusion of equal family-care culture are measures that can no longer be postponed in addressing the future of such welfare regimes.

Resumen
AbstractThe recent German welfare state reform with the introduction of Social Code II has created a complex situation for the labour market integration of long-term unemployed people with disabilities. A range of social laws with differing underlying principles is now applicable. In this article, we examine the effects that the implementation of this social code has on long-term unemployed people with disabilities. We show that their integration patterns changed. This is due to the building of new institutions responsible for labour market integration, followed by a temporary destabilisation of work routines at the operational level. Additionally, more persistent consequences occur because the inconsistencies of the relevant laws are creating an area of conflict, which is increasing the risk of marginalising people with disabilities in terms of labour market integration.

Resumen
Artificial intelligence (AI) is shaping up to be the transformative technology of our time and has become a powerful driver for social change. Social security institutions are progressively applying emerging technologies, including big data analysis, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and biometrics. The increasing use of AI by social security institutions is enabling more proactive and automated deliveries of social services. Although the potential of these technologies has not yet been fully tested nor explored, they are already providing relevant outcomes in key social security areas such as addressing error, evasion, and fraud, as well as developing effective approaches and automated solutions to customers’ concerns aimed at improving social services. The field of application of the technologies includes medical care, adaptive systems in robots carrying out dangerous activities at work, communication with insured people, and management of welfare benefits. However, the application of AI in the social sector also poses important challenges, prompting state institutions to consider how best to take full advantage of this new technology. Rapid introduction of automated technological solutions poses potential risks as well. This paper explores the various types of AI application and current and future uses of the AI in the field of social security, with a particular focus on strategies for governments as they consider implementing AI. It concludes that the use of AI in social security is both inevitable and potentially beneficial for all parties involved. It also is not necessarily either an unadulterated boon or bane but calls for careful planning and a comparative assessment of the benefits and challenges of AI versus human labour.

Resumen
SPECIFIC FEATURES OF THE SUPERVISION OF FAMILY MEDIATORS WITHIN THE SOCIAL WELFARE SYSTEM ABSTRACT In the introduction of the paper, the need for the supervision of family mediators is described, and the key characteristics of the educational and method supervision are presented, as well as the models of apprenticeship as modern forms of supervisory monitoring of the acquisition of additional professional competencies in the context of the helping professions, especially mediation. The paper presents supervision conducted with the family mediators who work within the social welfare system through two supervisory cycles. The aims of the supervision were to contribute to the integration of their knowledge and skills, to monitor and analyse the direct work on mediation cases and to promote the development of professional identity of family mediators in order to increase the quality of work with the clients during the application of mediation as a psychosocial intervention and a more recent social service. The contents and topics of the supervisory work have been presented through individual supervisory questions (feelings of mediators, workplace, principles of mediation, beliefs and prejudices), then through professional and educational questions significant for all supervisees (the role of mediators, usage of concrete knowledge and interventions, specific forms of mediation, implementation of mediation, special circumstances, supervisory competencies), and finally through organisational difficulties related to the implementation of mediation (introduction to family mediation, legislative framework and rules, the experience of a lack of understanding). Specific supervisory challenges with regard to the group composition, manners of work and competence of the supervisor for the implementation of the educational and/or method supervision in this area of work with the families have been described. In the conclusion, the similarities and differences between the educational and method supervision have been discussed, as well as some elements of the apprenticeship model. Key words: educational supervision, method supervision, cognitive apprenticeship model, family mediation, development of competencies of family mediators.

Resumen
AbstractThe UK social security safety net for those who are out of work due to ill health or disability has experienced significant change, most notably the abolition of Incapacity Benefit (IB) and the introduction of Employment and Support Allowance (ESA). These changes have been underpinned by the assumption that many recipients are not sufficiently sick or disabled to ‘deserve’ welfare benefits – claims that have been made in the absence of empirical data on the health of recipients. Employing a unique longitudinal and mixed-methods approach, this paper explores the health of a cohort of 229 long-term IB recipients in the North East of England over an eighteen-month period, during a time of significant changes to the UK welfare state. In-depth interviews with twenty-five of the survey cohort are also presented to illustrate the lived experiences of recipients. Contributing to debates surrounding the conceptualisation of work-readiness for sick and disabled people, findings indicate IB recipients had significantly worse health than the general population, with little change in their health state over the eighteen-month study period. Qualitative data reinforced the constancy of ill health for IB recipients. Finally, the paper discusses the implications for social policy, noting how the changing nature of administrative definitions and redefinitions of illness and capacity to work can impact upon the lives of sick and disabled people.

Digital technologies have become essential components in the organisa­tion and delivery of elder care. With this article, we want to contribute to the study and discussion of the role and effects of monitors and telecare solutions in situated care practices. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork among elderly citizens and healthcare workers in Denmark during the early phases of the corona crisis, we explore the introduction of screen-based technologies in eldercare and their implications. Our focus is particularly on what health professionals must do, to accomplish mean­ingful encounters through screens. In this context, we introduce the con­cept of “window work” to highlight how screens are active participants in care and how they frame and delimit what health practitioners can see, do and achieve in everyday care practices in significant and often unpredictable ways.

Resumen
In the space of a mere five years, basic income has become something of a global policy phenomenon. The proposal to grant all permanent residents of a political territory a regular cash transfer on an individual basis, without means-test or work requirement (Van Parijs and Vanderborght, 2017) is actively discussed at the highest levels of policy-making across the world, including by international institutions such as OECD, IMF or the World Bank. At the same time, several country surveys indicate the basic income idea is gaining considerable traction amongst the general public, with support for basic income in the latest wave of the European Social Survey (ESS) averaging slightly above 50 per cent (Lee, 2018). This suggests basic income has now firmly moved away from a mere ‘philosophical pipe dream’ to being considered as a serious alternative to conditional income assistance (Van Parijs, 2013; Haagh, 2017).

Resumen
Despite high levels of unemployment, South Africa's welfare system is premised on full employment: only those who are too young, too old or too sick to work qualify for social assistance. A government committee recently recommended the introduction of a universal Basic Income Grant (BIG) to address this hole in the welfare net. Now that highly active antiretroviral thereapy (HAART) is being rolled out through the public health sector for people sick with AIDS, the case for a BIG is even more compelling. People sick with AIDS qualify for a disability grant. The HAART rollout offers them the chance of restored health – but it comes at the cost of losing the disability grant because they will be deemed well enough to work. Given South Africa's high unemployment rates, many will not be able to find work, and hence will face a trade-off between health (taking HAART) and income (keeping the disability grant). This could undermine adherence to HAART and/or reduce the effectiveness of the treatment by compromising the nutritional status of patients, thereby facilitating the growth of drug-resistant HIV. Introducing a BIG could help resolve this unintended tension between health and welfare policy.

Resumen
The introduction of the parental leave benefit scheme in 2007 is widely regarded as a landmark reform that has shifted the German welfare state towards a model that better supports work and family life compatibility. In this article, we investigate whether and how this reform has affected men’s use of parental leave based on data from the German microcensus of 1999–2012. We find that parental leave usage has increased across all educational levels, but the shift has been strongest for university-educated fathers. Public sector employment is beneficial for men’s uptake of leave, while self-employment and temporary work lowers fathers’ chances of taking leave. The parental leave reform has not affected these associations much.

Resumen
Lone mothers make up a quarter of all families with children in the United Kingdom and have been one of the key target groups for activation policies for the past two decades. In a relatively short period of time, the U.K. system has changed from treating lone mothers as carers to treating them as workers. Most lone mothers are now required to seek work, or to be in work, in order to be eligible for state support. These developments place self-responsibility at the center of welfare reform and paid work as the core of self-responsibility. The focus is very much on the individuals and their labor market obligations and downplays their social obligations, for example, to care for their children or other family members. The capacity to make choices about when and how much to engage in paid work is much reduced. This article explores what these developments have meant for lone mothers in the United Kingdom. The first main section outlines the key policy approaches and measures, highlighting the underpinning concepts of self-responsibility. The discussion also explores the experiences of lone mothers in relation to these policies, drawing on data from a long-term qualitative study. The second main section focuses on a new policy development—the introduction of Universal Credit—in which promoting an employment-based self-responsibility is unequivocally central to the policy aims and design.

Resumen
Europe is facing new and radical challenges that demand extraordinary resilience from EU members, especially southern European societies, because of their outlying position and specific social problems in comparison with their EU neighbours. The difficulties of building a united Europe in the wake of the economic, financial and political crisis have exposed divergences in EU governance. In this context, sociology is an important tool to inform public policies and to provide the general public with an understanding of current challenges. The uses of sociology have social, political and practical implications in fields that are especially significant for southern European societies, such as welfare, work and employment, education, migration, social cohesion and political participation. However, the usual tensions in the organization of scientific research are now particularly intense in terms of how the sociological knowledge utility is understood and communicated. The trend toward internationalization in current research systems forces research communities to compete in a global market of scientific production, where English is the dominant language, and to publish results for an academic audience. Simultaneously there is a pressing need to make sociological knowledge relevant and applicable to regional and localproblems.

Resumen
In a climate of fiscal austerity, Australia’s neo-liberal government is continuing to fund and implement an expensive National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). This article presents a demographic, funding and policy context for the introduction of the NDIS. Its success, we argue, must be situated in the context of development of a post-industrial workforce, and owes a lot to its embrace of social investment, marketisation of welfare services, and cash for care. We then look at two tensions unfolding during the scheme’s implementation: increasing demand for care work alongside a shortage of care workers, and the market-driven reform of the Australian vocational education and training system. The changes to vocational education, we conclude, have produced more problems than they solved. Since they anticipate key aspects of the NDIS, they raise questions about the intent and future of Australia’s National Disability Insurance Scheme.

Resumen
AbstractMany commentators contend that the Chinese government adopted an incremental approach to welfare policy reform because its leaders lacked an overall blueprint for it, allowing initiatives to be implemented only after lengthy experimentation. While this perspective has provided an essential account of the implementation and changes of some welfare programmes, it has inadequately addressed the slow progress in rural areas' welfare programmes and the different welfare entitlements for rural and urban residents. Further investigation is therefore required to resolve these anomalies. Using the minimum standard of living scheme (MSLS) as a case example, this article illustrates how the Chinese government's legitimacy needs, during different stages of its economic reforms, have been the principal motivation for the implementation of such schemes. The introduction of an urban MSLS in 1997 aimed to reduce laid-off workers' dissatisfaction following the government's reforms of state-owned enterprises (SOEs). The implementation of a rural MSLS in 2007 was intended principally to minimise conflicts between land-losing farmers and local officials after widespread rural riots. These MSLSs are also minimal and stigmatising public-assistance schemes that fulfil the dual objective of securing a stable political environment for economic reform and maintaining poor people's work ethic for China's mixed economy.

Resumen
AbstractThe ways in which government supports families and protects children are always a fine balance. In recent years, we suggest that this balance can be characterised increasingly as ‘child-centric’, less concerned with families and more focused on individual children and their needs. This article charts the changes in families and government responses over the last 40 years, and the way this is reflected in organisational and administrative arrangements. It notes in particular the impact on everyday practice of the introduction of information and communication technologies. Findings are reported from recent research which shows the struggles faced by practitioners who try to manage systems which separate children from their familial, social and relational contexts. As a consequence, we suggest, the work has become increasingly fragmented and less mindful of children's life within families. While the data and analysis draw on research carried out in England, we suggest that similar changes may be going on in other Western liberal democracies.

Resumen
The introduction of Universal Credit, a new social assistance benefit for working age people in the UK, constitutes radical welfare reform and entails a significant intensification and expansion of welfare conditionality. Numerically, women are disproportionately affected by the conditionality regime for main carers of children within Universal Credit. Under this new benefit, couples have to nominate as ‘responsible carer’ the person in the household primarily responsible for the care of dependent children. Lone parents are automatically designated as the ‘responsible carer’. The responsible carer is subject to varying levels of conditionality (depending on the youngest child’s age) and faces benefit sanctions for non-compliance. To investigate the gendered implications of conditionality for responsible carers within Universal Credit, a small-scale qualitative study was carried out. The study’s findings show that the conditionality within Universal Credit devalues unpaid childcare and subjects mothers to conflicting responsibilities of mandatory work-related requirements and unpaid childcare.

Resumen
This study analyses the impact of pandemic on new work organisation with a focus on digital platforms and infrastructures in companies and organisations. In this context, the relationship between technological change and work is central, to be observed from various points of view and not only in terms of quantity and quality of employment but also in terms of skills, training, industrial relations, collective bargaining, and newly-organising work. The impact on the labour market is important. The company of the future moves in the wake of a new economic model in which there is a newfound responsibility towards the environment and people, both of whom are once again central to the production process. On this point, the role of national and decentralised collective bargaining is central, and can affect the assessment of workers' skills in a twofold direction: On the one hand, the introduction and implementation of remuneration systems, in terms of rewards and incentives, based on a certification of skills and related to the professionalism expressed by the individual employee; On the other, the agreement of direct and structural interventions on the personnel classification system. In this context, the issue of valorising talent is becoming increasingly central also for companies. The organisational change of processes and "era", as illustrated in this work, which redesigns relationships within the company with a view to greater involvement and empowerment of the worker, requires companies to review and rethink well-being as well as corporate benefits. The changes that organisations must prepare, in light of innovation, however, require investments to deal with the reforms envisaged by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan which impact on the economic and social system of Italy. The measures envisaged by the PNRR are urgent and structural and will have to guarantee the implementation and maximise the impact of the planned investments, to encourage the restart of the Italian system, noting that the impacts deriving from the implementation of the measures contained in the Plan have been assessed in terms of GDP up to +3.6% in 2026. In this process, the Competence Centres will always assume a crucial role, becoming protagonists at European level. These are benchmarks of excellence created to carry out guidance, training and innovative projects that can be of help to Italian companies. Keywords: Labour market; Collective bargaining and industrial relations; Gender equality; Inclusion and welfare; Development plans; Transition.

Resumen
The article discusses the welfare regime that emerged in Poland after the collapse of communism and the introduction of the market economy. It analyses policy in the sphere of child and elderly care, and household strategies related to care. It is argued that the care regime in Poland is a combination of the conservative and the social-democratic model. On the one hand, the state provides equal labour market access to women and men. On the other hand, publicly funded child and elder care is insufficient, resulting in a care deficit. The situation has created demand for domestic care workers, and while Polish women do such work, it is increasingly performed by migrant women, particularly from Ukraine. To summarise, the article argues how gender and care regimes in Poland boost the domestic work sector, where Ukrainian migrants play an important role, and how this development has contributed to changes in the Polish migration regime.

Resumen
This discussion offers a thematic introduction and contextual framework across the welfare domains of homelessness and employment. The Labour Government (1997−2010) introduced a range of policies, which drew connections between homelessness and employment strategies. Such approaches were indicative of efforts to responsibilise and empower marginalised groups by way of conditional responses, which intended to steer clients towards independent and ‘active’ citizenship. In this context, work-related activities were regarded as transformative and meaningful. In broad terms, this approach can be understood as part of a wider set of therapeutic interventions that aimed to support clients with multiple support needs, albeit through somewhat coercive and regulatory overtones (Harrison and Sanders, 2006). A review of social policies developed under the Labour Government is useful for a critical understanding of welfare approaches and practices during that period, and it also enables us to evaluate how far there is continuity or change in approaches in successive political administrations. Labour introduced a set of policy principles that represented distinctive responses to disadvantaged groups, and this review highlights some of the key rationales and techniques of governance from that era. The conclusion will discuss the potential legacy for welfare policy, with specific reference to the Coalition Government.

Resumen
In 1995, a Swedish pilot study of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) was launched to investigate its therapeutic efficacy and cost-effectiveness as treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) in suicidal women. In the same year, a sweeping reform of psychiatric care commenced, dramatically reducing the number of beds by the end of the decade. The psychiatry reform was presented as an important factor prompting the need for a community-based treatment for Borderline patients. This article suggests that the introduction of DBT in Sweden, and its relationship to the reform, can only be adequately explained with reference to the wider political shift occurring at the time, whereby the Swedish welfare state and its guiding ethos of egalitarianism were abandoned in favour of a neoliberal ‘choice revolution’. With the new liberalism, hard work and individual responsibility replaced the idea of a Swedish ‘people’s home’, a nationwide community and social support network. This language was reflected in DBT, which sought to teach patients the ‘skills’ necessary ‘to create a life worth living’. In this context, therapy was constituted as a form of ‘work’ that the patient had to undertake to improve. Moreover, DBT rejected the prevailing view of Borderline patients as ‘manipulative’ and ‘aggressive’, suggesting instead that they were ‘helpless’, ‘weak’ and unable to regulate their emotions. This new Borderline persona fit neatly into the new liberal discourse: she could be taught to become a rational and independent person able to cope in a society that valued individual responsibility over social support.

Resumen
Annotation. Introduction. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the theoretical foundations and develop mechanisms for financial support for the development of science and scientific and technical work in Ukraine, because the main feature of the processes taking place in the modern world is the global integration of economy, science, education and social welfare. Ukraine, as an independent state, lives in an interconnected, interdependent world. The defining priority of the development of our state is education and science. The most important parameters that characterize the country’s scientific resources, knowledge-intensive economy, include investment in science and education, financing of innovation processes. In today’s rapidly changing conditions of globalization of economic life, highly developed countries, where science plays the role of the main economic and reproductive factor, ensure their development by improving existing technologies, techniques and the use of fundamentally new scientific advances. The analysis of the theoretical basis and state of financial support for the development of science and scientific and technical work of higher education institutions and research institutions of Ukraine allowed us to draw conclusions: the intersectoral mechanism is proposed as a system of elements of organizational, economic forms and levers of allocation, research, creation of scientific developments, transfer, accumulation and greater infusion of private and business funds into science and education, which ensure the development of science and scientific and technical work in general. The priority areas for improving the technological structure of Ukraine’s economy include the following: focusing on increasing the scale and expanding the range of promising technologies in the middle and final stages of the technological cycle, providing increased growth of value added processing of primary resources; elimination of resource losses due to inconsistencies between technology components, which is possible through the modernization of existing technologies on the basis of innovations associated with previous and such technologies; change of economic and investment policy in the direction of creating more investment attractiveness for the middle and final stages of the technological cycle. Keywords: financial support; science; scientific and technical works; institutions of higher education; integration; investments.

Resumen
Introduction: The primary care system in Flanders (Belgium) was substantially reoriented and restructured. At local level Primary Care Zones (PCZs) were installed to support better coordination and connect care and welfare organizations with local authorities. The province of Limburg counts 8 active PCZs and is one of the five provinces of Flanders. The province boasts an interesting mining history, forests and historic towns. Collaboration and exchange between primary care actors and knowledge institutions (universities of applied sciences and universities) offers opportunities to translate and implement evidence-based concepts and innovations in the sector. Vice versa, the sector's practical knowledge feeds scientific research and education in the knowledge institutions. Description: Limburg has a well-established tradition of collaboration between the healthcare and welfare sector and the knowledge institutions (Hasselt University and University Colleges PXL and UCLL). The PCZs and knowledge institutions aim to further strengthen this existing collaboration and embed it in the Health Campus Limburg (as a tangible meeting ground for primary care in Limburg). This creates a unique partnership between practice (healthcare & welfare), knowledge (research and education) and campus development (innovation ecosystem). The initiative - called 'CELL' was launched on October 5th of 2022 in Hasselt. A charter was signed by 17 Limburg organizations. In addition to 6 PCZs, the 3 knowledge institutions and Health Campus Limburg, the 2 Limburg hospital networks (South-West and North-East Limburg), the 3 mental healthcare networks (Reling, Noolim, Ligant), the palliative care network (Pallion) and the Logo Limburg (prevention network) also joined. The 3 knowledge institutes will collaborate intensively within the CELL initiative in the coming years to strengthen primary care in Limburg. CELL aims to facilitate integrated care at a regional level through innovation processes and projects. Limburg can act as a testing ground (Living Lab) for Flanders to test, monitor and implement innovations in the fields of population management, digitization, community-oriented care, etc. Discussion: The CELL initiative is embedded in the Hasselt University Fund and together with the partner organizations the first 2 years of funding is insured. At this point the governance structure is realized and the PCZs performed a needs assessment to establish their annual action plan. CELL will identify the main common denominators in order to accomplish joint initiatives. CELL will not operate parallel to the PZCs, but act as a supportive and academic umbrella. CELL is open to work with all organizations in- and outside the region, that share the same goals. It strives towards a good cooperation and exchange with the Flemish government and its organizations (including the Flemish Institute for Primary Care, VIVEL). Conclusion: The interaction between the PCZs themselves and the collaboration with knowledge institutions thus contribute to the further development of high-quality integrated care and welfare and offers opportunities to translate and implement new concepts and (digital) innovations in the sector. This directly benefits citizens and patients in the province of Limburg.

Resumen
This article deals with company welfare and social work ethics. If social work is concerned with welfare and distributional issues, we would assume company welfare to be an issue of great relevance to social workers, so why do we not come across any social workers in our fieldwork? This calls for the simple question “where do social workers work?” or rather “how come social workers do not work in private companies?” We explore into the combination of social work and private companies with special reference to social work ethics to discuss private companies as a job arena for social workers. We argue that in a sector aiming at profit, social workers may trigger employees enthusiasm, but employer scepticism. However, by avoiding a less stereotyped notion of private companies, company welfare and social work we claim that certain social work ethical principles would be of joint interest to the involved, but more so in certain contexts than in others. The article consists of six sections. After the introduction, we take a closer look at company welfare followed by a section on social work where we focus on ethical principles and work arenas for social workers. In section four we present our data from some private companies in Norway and Tanzania as a point of departure to our discussion in section five on private companies as a potential job arena for social workers. The complexity of company welfare does not call for simple answers. In the conclusions, section six, we therefore argue that the ethical principles of social work make it an interesting and relevant competence in managing company welfare, though not unproblematic in the homeland of profit. However, contextual complexity invites contextual responses.

Resumen
Objectives: Introduce the Caring Neighbourhoods program as an interesting example of ICC Discuss the main challenges and learnings from the coaching and training of 133 caring neighbourhoods Present a coaching tool that challenges reflection and action in the caring neighbourhoods Share reflections and ideas that can contribute to a successful implementation of caring neighbourhoods Rationale: Worldwide, more and more attention is being paid to the neighbourhood as a place where health and care must be accessible, where informal and formal care complement each other and where residents and professionals work together to create a caring environment. June 2021, the Flemish Minister of Welfare, Public Health, Family and Poverty Reduction launched a call for ‘Caring Neighbourhoods’ that yielded 133 projects in Flanders and Brussels. During two years, a financial boost is provided, together with intense supervision and support. There is a large variety between the projects, for example in terms of previous experience, goals and actions, network and demographic context. But they all share the desire for more connection and cooperation between welfare- and care organisations, for participation and inclusion of the local citizens, for neighbourhoods where taking care of each other would gain more attention. In order for these projects to take steps forward, the Department of Welfare, Public Health and Family asked the King Baudouin Foundation (KBF) to shape a support offer. The KBF built this support around 3 pillars: (1) a consortium of knowledge-, and expertise centers in the field of sustainable neighbourhoods to enable a constant dialogue between existing knowledge and field-learnings, (2) generalistic and flexible coaching for each of the projects and (3) a training offer on various themes. 12 coaches supervise between 10 and 17 projects each. They are well placed to pick up, interpret and pass on insights, obstacles and opportunities. The same applies to the trainers that are part of the consortium and to other consortium partners that are connected with the field work in various ways. Their findings are related to several topics such as the importance of co-creation and the need for a flexible and adaptive governance. In their coaching, the coaches depend on their skills, on each other as a team and on their supervisors. Early in the process they expressed a shared ambition to co-create a tool to help challenge caring neighbourhood-workers in different areas of reflection and action. Audience: Health-, welfare-, and community workers, target group (representatives) and all stakeholders of caring neighbourhoods Content: Setting the scene: a brief introduction to the context of caring neighbourhoods in Flanders and Brussels (Ann Clé, KBF, 15min) A presentation of the learnings and demonstration of the coaching-tool (Stef Steyaert, KBF, 15min) World café: discussion in breakout groups on challenges in caring neighbourhoods on different levels (facilitated by 2 coaches, 30min) A plenary debate with feedback from the breakout groups (Stef Steyaert, 20min) Conclusion and summary of the learnings (Stef Steyaert, 10min) The outcomes of the workshop will be summarized by visual harvesting.

Resumen
Introduction: The ContactDoctor app enables citizen-centric, interdisciplinary and cross-sector video-consultations to improve quality and integration of care and provide equitable access to healthcare. Background: Video-consultations with healthcare professionals, incl. general practitioners (GP), accelerated in 2020-2021 to limit the spread of Covid-19. During that time, the app ContactDoctor was rapidly developed in a successful public-private collaboration. A national project was initiated to support wider implementation of ContactDoctor, where the goal is 60/98 municipalities and 700/1600 GP clinics. The project is financed by the Danish Ministry of Health. The ContactDoctor-app is owned by the Organisation of General Practitioners in Denmark. Target group: ContactDoctor is intended for elderly and vulnerable citizens, e.g., people with social, psychological, physical problems, in nursing homes, homecare, rehabilitation, emergency teams and living-arrangement offers, who are not able to conduct a video-consultation with their GP without support. In Denmark, these welfare and healthcare areas are decentralised to municipalities. Municipality employees facilitate video-consultations between citizens and GPs and support citizens during the conversation. Citizens’ relatives can participate in the video-consultation too. The project collaborates with interested municipalities concerning implementation. A User Group, consisting of representatives from 10 municipalities and a data-consultant from each region, is closely involved in the development of ContactDoctor and in preparing guidelines and implementation-material. Results: The evaluation design is ‘Model for Assessment of Telemedicine’. Four evaluation reports are published between November 2021-February 2023 and collect different learnings and results from the implementation process or target groups. The following results are derived from two published reports and based on statistical data, 10 different questionnaires and 7 focus-group interviews targeted municipality employees, GPs, and project managers. By September 2022, the total number of video-consultation via ContactDoctor is 1614. The data is showing a continuous increase, albeit with large differences between the municipalities. Currently, 36 municipalities and 203 clinics is using ContactDoctor. Users report great potential in ContactDoctor due to the flexible and integrated format and user-friendliness. ContactDoctor has been used in many different situations: acute, follow-up, medication assessment, physical problems, preparation for doctor's visit. ContactDoctor has the potential to improve quality of care, enable better integrated care and provide equitable access to healthcare services. Users agree that ContactDoctor can lead to faster and more efficient treatment, fewer inconveniences for vulnerable citizens who, due to e.g., anxiety, reduced mobility, find it difficult getting to their GP. Conclusion and learnings: The use of video-consultations is voluntary and the implementation of ContactDoctor is progressing, however slowly despite users reporting it a beneficial supplement to physical consultations. During the pandemic, ContactDoctor was essential, but now several municipality employees recognize that they forget to use it during a busy workday. It requires great awareness and continuous implementation focus before the app is a standard work tool and its full potential in an integrated care approach is reached. This applies to both GPs and municipalities. Without local initiatives in regions and municipalities, including management support and implementation follow-up, the initiative can result in a low degree of use and distribution.

Resumen
Introduction/Background: An ongoing realist evaluation of the implementation of the program [Amsterdam Customization method] in social welfare in Amsterdam (NL), focussing on multi-problem families, revealed among others, that participating organisations within the program tend to focus on their own tasks, without shared decision making. This becomes extremely clear in the context of safety for the children: parents are not seen as partners to guarantee this safety but as causer of the problem. And this view from the perspective of one organisation seems to diminish all efforts to offer the parents help in finding ways to create a safe environment for their children. Instead parents are more or less threatened by the risk that the children will be taken away from them. The mechanism is a lack of interdisciplinary adjustment of observations and a lack of shared decision making, the outcome for the parents is fear and withdrawal from involved professionals. This is in contrast with the principles of the implemented program. Why a workshop? A 90 minutes workshop is a good way to share experiences with the delegates and find ways to handle a well-known problem within the implementation of integrated care programs. Who is it for? Participants from the area of social work as well as participants in implemented integrated care programs as such are a welcome audience to share ideas and experiences. What we are going to do? •A 15 minute ointroduction on the context of the implemented program and the findings of one part of the research: client interviews [first researcher] oFocus on one finding: the missing collaboration between all stakeholders in the context of safety for the children in multi-problem families [first researcher] •Depending on the number of participants: 60 minutes discussion in one or more groups around two questions (1. do you recognise the situation [examples]; 2. What did you do / are you planning to do/ could be done to stimulate shared decision making that involves all stakeholders) •15 minutes report and (an attempt to) conclusions •10 minutes wrap up and eventually exchange of contact addresses How are you going to engage with the audience? Fitting to the concept of a workshop the meeting will be interactive, participants in the subgroups are asked to appoint a speaker to present the core of the group discussion, results of the plenary will be written down and per email shared with interested participants. How are you going to summarize the take home messages? We end up with lessons learned and sum these up in take home messages. Attendees are invited to write these down and take these with them.

Resumen
Introduction. The tradition of worshiping Ganapati in Buddhism, including in religious traditions of Mongols, is an interesting — though understudied — issue. In Hinduism, this ancient deity was believed an evil demon (Vinayaka) inclined to create obstacles. Subsequently, when included in the Buddhist pantheon, its tantric forms became widespread enough in Tibet and Mongolia. In Buddhist teachings, Ganapati is seen as an emanation of Avalokiteshvara, and in some of its forms is associated with Chakrasamvara and Tara, hence having little in common with the Hindu Ganesha, the son of Parvati and Shiva, the Lord of the Ganas. The cult of Ganapati in Buddhist countries shows how the ancient deity of Hinduism had lost its original essence — to become an organic part of the Buddhist tantric tradition. Goals. The paper aims to introduce Oirat texts of the Ganapati Dharani Sutra. Materials and methods. Collections of Mongolian manuscripts in Russia and other countries contain a total of seven dharani sutras in the Oirat Clear Script. The study focuses on a Kalmyk manuscript from the Saxon State and University Library Dresden (Mongolian Collection) and a manuscript from the Mongolian Academy of Sciences (Institute of Language and Literature, Oirat Collection). The work employs textual research methods and tools of comparative historical analysis. Results. Some manuscripts in the Clear Script are literary works of minimal size that include two parts — Dharani Sutra of Lord Ganapati (Oir. Xutuqtu čuulγani ezen kemēküyin toqtōl) and Collected Dharanis of the Five Chapters of Pancharaksha (Oir. Pañcaragšyin tabun bölögiyin xurangyui). The combination of the two texts in a single work makes it possible to assume the worshipping practice of Ganapati be somewhat tied to that of the five Pancharaksha protector goddesses. In Buddhism, the Ganapati Dharani Sutra is recited for various purposes, such as welfare, virtuous reincarnation, new knowledge, and spiritual progress. Conclusions. Texts of the Ganapati Dharani Sutra and various iconographic images (forms) are integral to tantric practices believed instrumental in acquiring, cognizing and organizing new knowledge, thus forming milestone spiritual experiences on the path towards the ultimate goal of Buddhists.

Resumen
Introduction: There is an increasing need for interprofessional collaboration (IPC) in the community, in order to ensure personcentered care for those with a care need. In Belgium, the Flemish government committed to support this through the creation of Primary Care Zones (PCZ) and a pilot-program of Caring Neighbourhoods (CN). The PCZ's mission is to get the diverse group of primary care professionals at the community level to work together. CN’s work on this community level and aim to allow residents to stay in their familiar surroundings for as long as possible and have low-threshold access to care and support. The aim of our research is finding a method to enhance IPC in CN’s. Methods: Our practice-based scientific research sought to answer the question: How can professionals in care and wellbeing create interventions to enhance IPC? We conducted action research and innovation labs with a group of participants (n=5) from different organizations in health and welfare work within the Brederode neighbourhood in Antwerp South. The aim of this innovationlab was to facilitate co-creation of initiatives to improve communication and collaboration. Before starting the innovationlab sessions, a context analysis was conducted in which a.o. geography, socio-cultural context, socio-economic context of the neighbourhood was mapped. The innovation labs were built using the model of design thinking. One physical session was organized, followed by four online sessions. After going through the design thinking process, a focus group took place to reflect on the whole process. Results: At the start of our research project, the IPC in the PCZ was very limited. We found that participants in PCZ Antwerp Centre knew little about each other’s tasks and way of working. Therefore, people with certain care needs are not helped in the way they should have been. The participants express an increased communication between them, regarding residents in their neighbourhood. The method of innovation labs proved to be a valid way to enhance IPC. The structure of this methodology was perceived as a clear and straightforward form to facilitate bottom-up initiatives. Their knowledge of each other's tasks and opportunities to work together has led to the onset of IPC. During our research, the following limitations were encountered: a shortage of personnel, the noncommittal nature of IPC, time investment and large staff turnover of people in crucial positions were detected as contributing factors why there is no IPC in the community of Brederode neighbourhood. Discussion: We observed an increased need for tools and facilitation that encourage IPC to move towards CN. Organizations and individual primary care professionals benefit from the developed E-book when aiming to improve interprofessional cooperation on a community level. Conclusion: By using the methodology of our innovation labs, the participants expanded their network, improved their communication and mapped structural problems in IPC.
