"Disease and society have historically had an uneasy relationship. Society's developments (e.g., global travel, crowded cities, concerts and events with large attendance) shape whether a virus can take hold and spread. And, a virus can bring society to a halt, as it did in the early days of the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic. This reciprocal relationship between disease and society prompted the call to action that underlies this book. This introductory chapter outlines both the importance of studying the pandemic from a social science perspective and the challenges that await social scientists who have and will study how society and the pandemic influence each other"--

EN: Peculiarities of the of State management system of disabled people social protection are defined. Modern society is already aware that nation's intellectual potential can also be found in people with physical limitations. The article identifies the approaches to the choice of options for the State support of people with disabilities in context of European practice. The study acquaintes with the experience of reforming in social protection system for people with disabilities existing in Member States of EU, in order to identify the shortcomings of the modern Ukrainian system. As for the approaches to the disabled people employment in Europe, there is a tendency to move from medical model "of rehabilitation of people with disabilities" to the model of work force training focused on the possibilities of every person. This allows people with disabilities take full place in a society and to provide on an individual basis their decent standard of living. The attention is payed on the condition of Ukraine's State policy regarding the involvement of people with disabilities into national processes. It is stressed that Ukrainian legislation makes employers not only to give jobs to people with disabilities, but also take additional safety measures that meet the specific features of this category of workers. In some cases this means to arrange training and retraining. That is why some enterprises by tricks, offer special employees not quite legitimate forms of cooperation. One of the most common is the part-time employment with minimum pay. Actually a person does not come to the workplace but only receives some money. A confirmation of the abovementioned is the published research of the largest employees search site in Ukraine, called Work.ua. It is noted that one of the obstacles to the successful employment of disabled people is their "formal employment". People are also not ready to adequately perceive staff members differing from them (psychological aspect) and employers are not interested in providing jobs for people with special needs as this requires financial and time costs (financial aspect). That is why the emphasis is placed on the urgency of the European Strategy implementation as for disabled people in Ukraine. Ways of finding jobs for persons with disabilities are offered.

Where are we at with studies of Body & Society? What are the key accomplishments in the field? This book provides the clearest and most comprehensive account of work in this area to date. Based on a novel theory of action it surveys the terrain by arguing that human identity, social relationships and moral figurations develop as a result of people living in and seeking to reach beyond the limits of their bodily being. From this starting point the author undertakes a series of studies on sport, transgenderism, migration, illness, survival and belief which illuminate the relationship between bod

"Wireless networks are the fastest growing communications technology in history. Are mobile phones expressions of identity, fashionable gadgets, tools for life - or all of the above? Mobile Communication and Society looks at how the possibility of multimodal communication from anywhere to anywhere at any time affects everyday life at home, at work, and at school, and raises broader concerns about politics and culture both global and local." "Drawing on data gathered from around the world, the authors explore who has access to wireless technology, and why, and analyze the patterns of social differentiation seen in unequal access. They explore the social effects of wireless communication - what it means for family life, for example, when everyone is constantly in touch, or for the idea of an office when workers can work anywhere. Is the technological ability to multitask further compressing time in our already hurried existence?" "The authors consider the rise of a mobile youth culture based on peer-to-peer networks, with its own language of texting, and its own values. They examine the phenomenon of flash mobs, and the possible political implications. And they look at the relationship between communication and development and the possibility that developing countries could "leapfrog" directly to wireless and satellite technology. This sweeping book - moving easily in its analysis from the United States to China, from Europe to Latin America and Africa - answers the key questions about our transformation into a mobile network society."--Jacket.

International audience ; L'hémisphère Sud est une zone stratégique importante, souvent apparentée au secteur maritime, dans laquelle la France joue occupe une place particulière avec ses installations nucléaires. Les dépenses militaires de la zone sont nettement moins élevées que dans l'hémisphère Nord, caractérisées par des importations importantes d'armes, et le rôle important exercé par le Brésil et l'Argentine en matière de production d'armes et du poids exercé par le secteur militaire dans la vie politique. Il existe une militarisation des sociétés d'Amérique latine, malgré le processus de dénucléarisation militaire. En termes économiques et politiques, le Sud subit une dépendance importante exercée par les pays du Nord. ; The southern hemisphere is an important strategic area, often related to the maritime sector, in which France plays a special role with its nuclear installations. Military spending in the area is significantly lower than in the northern hemisphere, characterized by significant arms imports, and the important role played by Brazil and Argentina in the production of arms and the weight exerted by the military sector in political life. There is a militarization of Latin American societies, despite the process of military denuclearization. In economic and political terms, the South is heavily dependent on the countries of the North.

This thesis focuses on the origins of the lawn-aesthetic as it was developed in the twentieth century to be controlled spaces. The social construction of the manicured lawn built upon preexisting correlations to social and economic status within a suburban community. The lawn-aesthetic and maintenance of American white-suburbia during this time was implemented within a system specifically created for those of a certain class and race, namely white and rising middle-class. In pursuing greener grass, homeowners sought conformity and monoculture despite the byproduct of environmental toxicity. I propose, through my research into the history of the social and economic factors of the white-suburban lawn, that the contemporary upkeep of these dated expectations should be kicked to the curb to make room for new landscaping methodologies that have the intention of cultivating a space for communication, inclusion, and activism rather than aesthetic conformity. For such spaces to be developed, there needs to be a shift in the ideology that public presentation correlates to social, economic, and political status. This shift can occur if the social implications and expectations of the lawn-aesthetic no longer encompass a reflection of the social and economic position within the community. This thesis argues for the reformation of associations and assumptions made by a public audience of a private space, as determined by the property line, through the analysis of what it means to participate in the lawnscaping culture of American white-suburbia.

Le féminisme en art au Québec s'est démarqué à partir du contexte d'agitation sociale et politique des années 60 et 70. Cet art s'est implanté notamment en illustrant une trajectoire concernant le sujet de l'identité femme. Celle-ci va d'une position dite essentialiste du sujet femme à une illustration de la construction sociale de l'identité de genre, identité dont la déconstruction renvoie à la pluralisation de l'identité dans le temps et dans l'espace. Ces oeuvres contribuent de diverses manières, à partir de l'irréductibilité des différences, à la réflexion portant sur une démocratie plurielle et radicale.

MULTICULTURAL ASPECTS OF SUPERVISION IN POST-APARTHEID SOUTHAFRICAClinical supervision in psychology and social work is challenged with addressing the variouscultural, social and political factors that affect therapeutic and supervisory relationships. In thecontext of present-day South Africa with its emphasis on recruiting supervisees into the helpingprofessions from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds, questions of race, ethnicity and culture inclinical supervision have become of considerable importance. This paper examines the literaturepertinent to supervision and presents a theoretical framework for conceptualising themulticultural development of supervisors and supervisees with a specific emphasis on the SouthAfrican context. It highlights some of the potential problems that might arise in supervisoryrelationships in which the supervisor and supervisee are racially disparate and outlinesrecommendations for clinicians to consider in their practice. Most of the research on inter-racialclinical supervision has been conducted in the United States and other countries wheremulticulturalism is part of the national landscape. This article uses this international literature andapplies it to the present post-apartheid contex
