In a recent survey of residential and day schools for the deaf in the United States, it was found that approximately 50% of both residential and day schools enjoy the services of a social worker. In addition, it was found that among schools which employ social workers, residential schools are more likely than day schools to employ full-time social workers. On the other hand, day schools are more likely than residential schools to employ social workers with an advanced degree. It was also found that the functions of social workers differ very little in the two educational settings. Concerning the future occupational prospects of social workers in day and residential schools, it was discovered that only a small proportion of schools which do not currently utilize the services of a social worker plan to employ one in the near future. Moreover, among those schools which are considering the possibility of hiring a social worker, residential schools are much more likely than day schools to consider utilizing the services of a deaf social worker.

An initial analysis was made of the relationship between political voting in Belgium in 1974, & SC & religion. The vote (N=968) was broken down into political party, SC, region (Wallonia, Flanders, & Brussels) & religion (practicing Catholics, nonpracticing Catholics, & non-Catholics). For each, the degree of 'fragmentation' (D. Rae & M. Taylor, THE ANALYSIS OF POLITICAL CLEAVAGES, New Haven & London: Yale U Press, 1970) was calculated; it measures the probability that any pair of individuals belongs to 2 different categories. The most homogeneous electorate is that of the liberal party in Wallonia & Brussels & that of the PSB in Flanders; the most heterogeneous in Wallonia is that of the Socialist- Christians. The Socialist-Christian party is the least fragmented overall. Also calculated was the 'index of relative party preference' (A. Lijphart, THE POLITICS OF ACCOMMODATION, Berkeley & Los Angeles: U of California Press, 1968), which indicates whether the percentage of the proportion of votes that a social category accords to a party is superior or inferior to the percentage of that category, in relation to the entire population; it is a measure of the political strength of a party. The strength of the parties is quite homogeneous throughout Belgium. 4 Tables. Modified HA.

The development of the covid-19 pandemic at a global level has introduced new approaches in the management of organizational processes, managing to transform companies, governments and even daily life, with unprecedented consequences in Ecuador and the world. In the workplace there was a sustainability crisis, where many companies opted to reduce the number of employees or to reduce the workload, with the consequent reduction in wages. Although these changes involve new employment, productive and commercial options, pressing needs also arise as a result of the restructuring of each business system. ; El desarrollo de la pandemia causada por la covid-19 a nivel global ha obligado a introducir nuevos enfoques en el manejo de los procesos organizacionales, lo cual ha transformado empresas, gobiernos e incluso la vida cotidiana, con consecuencias sin precedentes en Ecuador y el mundo.
