Abstract Throughout the years, disabled people, especially those with intellectual and mental disabilities, have frequently been appointed authorised guardians. Having been criticised for restricting individual freedom and autonomy and in line with the 2006 UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, a 2016 reform in Israel's Legal Capacity and Guardianship Law called for restricting the use of guardianship and preferring less restrictive alternatives, specifically supported decision making (SDM). The success of this reform rests largely on social workers. This study examined the meanings social worker attach to guardianship and SDM. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with twenty-seven Israeli social workers. The findings showed that whilst they acknowledged the shortcomings of guardianship, they nevertheless perceived it to be vital. They provided three justifications for this view: guardianship as a safeguarding practice, guardianship as promoting individual well-being and guardianship in the service of third parties. These findings are discussed in terms of their meaning for guardianship as a risk-aversive practice designed to promote service users' well-being and quality of life and in terms of the role played by third parties in bringing SDM into force. Recommended steps for moving the current reform in guardianship from paper to practice are highlighted.
Disabled, security of their rights, social guarantees – these guestions are topical recently. This master's work proposes the conception of social guarantees, analyses the conception of social guarantees in the context of medical and social integration models and gives the classification of guarantees according to various criterias. The first part of master's work analyses the specific social guarantees of disabled in consideration of the social security conception and does not extend into the area of social politics. This work analyses the juridical regulation of the guarantees of material condition affording for unemployed and explains how it works in practise. This work gives attention to the servises of professional rehabilitation. Professional rehabilitation services are entitled as the common measure of social security and labour market, which orientate to educate or renew the capacity of work, to enlarge the employment possibilities of unemployed. The social guarantees of unemployed, which analyses this work, sistematicly can be classified into 3 main groups: 1. Social guarantees in the area of pensionary supply (national social insurance, national pension, handout pension); 2. Social guarantees in the area of social compensations and social benefits. 3. Other social guarantees in the area of social security (professional rehabilitation).

The article considers factors that hamper the protection of social and economic interests of young people in trade unions and the development and performance improvement of trade unions. For this purpose, the authors analyze the data of their study which includes questionnaire surveys among trade unions' youth and experts, expert interviews and content analysis of the trade union newspaper. The study reveals that young people have high demand for help and assistance provided by trade unionsto protect their social and economic interests as at least one-third of the trade unions' young people get the help they need. The trade union's potential is mainly used to solve individual problems rather than to fulfill collective social and economic interests. The factors that hamper active practices among young people are bureaucracy, ineffective personnel policy, the merger of trade unions with the authorities and enterprises' administration, gaps in legislation, law percentage of young people in sectoral and territorial trade unions, and especially ineffective outreach and awareness-raising work. The authors prove that most of barriers are caused by paternalistic settings and expectations of young people who have law motivation to become members of trade unions, law awareness of their rights and trade union membership opportunities, as well as their failure to define their request to trade unions.
В статті розглянуто основні риси та сучасний стан соціального захисту осіб з деменцією в Угорщині. На сьогодні населення Угорщини швидко «старішає» і кількісно зменшується. Соціальні та демографічні зміни, підвищення очікуваної тривалості життя впливають на соціальні послуги для населення Угорщини. Мета статті − схарактеризувати соціальні послуги, що надаються особам з деменцією в Угорщині. Було визначено такі завдання: охарактеризувати організацію соціальної підтримки та соціальні послуги, що надаються особам з деменцією. Об'єкт дослідження − соціальна політика Угорщини. Використано наступні методи дослідження: − теоретичний − аналіз наукових джерел з проблеми дослідження для систематизації та узагальнення наявних даних, виявлення сучасного стану досліджуваної проблеми; емпіричні − спостереження, бесіди з науковцями та практичними соціальними працівниками, які дали можливість проаналізувати угорський досвід надання соціальних послуг особам з деменцією. Отримані дані дозволили зробити висновок, що в Угорщині деменція на сьогодні не вважається одним із пріоритетів соціальної захисту та охорони здоров'я. Відповідно до чинного законодавства Угорщини, особи з деменцією не розглядаються як «особи з інвалідністю», а тому не мають право на отримання фінансових або соціальних пільг, які надаються іншим особам з інвалідністю. Для таких осіб в Угорщині відсутні центри денного догляду, а кількість місць в установах довгострокової опіки є дуже обмежена. У забезпеченні довгострокової інституційної опіки задіяна державна система охорона здоров'я та соціального захисту населення. Функціонують приватні установи довгострокової опіки, але в обмеженій кількості і за дуже високу оплату. Державна підтримка на дому обмежується доставкою їжі. Таким чином, вважаємо, що в Угорщині адекватність та доступність послуг не відповідають потребам осіб з деменцією та їх піклувальникам. Перспективи подальших досліджень пов'язуємо з вивченням проблеми соціального захисту інших категорій населення в Угорщині. ; This paper presents the results of the study of main features and current state of social protection of people with dementia in Hungary. At present, the population of Hungary is rapidly aging and is decreasing quantitatively. Social and demographic changes as well as the increase of life expectancy affect the provision of social services for the population of Hungary. The aim of the paper is to provide an overview of social services delivered to persons with dimentia in Hungary. To achieve this aim the following tasks were defined as to be solved: to charcterise the organisation of social support for persons with dementia and the services provided. The study object − social policy of Hungary. The study subject − social services provided to the persons with dementia. The following research methods have been used: − theoretical − the secondary analysis of scientific-research sources on the problem under consideration has given the possibility to systematize and generalize the available data on current state of the problem; − empirical − observations and interviews with scholars and practical social workers have given an opportunity to analyse the Hungarian experience in social services provision to persons with dementia. The data gathered allowed to conclude, that in Hungary dementia is not considered to be among the social and healthcare priorities. In accordance with the Hungarian legislation, persons with dementia are not considered to be «people with disabilities» and therefore they are not eligible for financial or social benefits as provided to other persons with disabilities. Although the law provides for the state funding of normative day-care fees, daycare facilities are not available. Respite homes and long-term care institutions are very limited in number. State supported home-care is limited to the provision of meals at a low cost. Private institutions are inaccessible due to high costs. Adequacy, accessibility and availability of services in general do not respond to the needs of either people with dementia or the family carers.
This thesis examines possible synergies and points of friction between understandings of disability that emphasise its social contingency and jurisprudential debates on substantive equality and access to social security in the context of the promotion of access to work for disabled persons in South Africa. In consequence of an analysis of theoretical debates in the field of disability studies and how these find application in the sphere of employment equity law, it is concluded that, while social understandings of disability mostly focus on structural changes that would see people with disabilities who can and want to work gain access to such work, the positive obligations imposed on employers and the state in terms of equality rights and employment equity legislation are of limited depth and breadth. It is proposed that one potential course of action to address the limited scope of equality law would be to emphasise the state's obligations in terms of socio-economic rights where these rights are relevant to work inequality. Particular emphasis is placed on how the interpretation and application of the right to access to social security could be used to activate government's duties in respect of unemployment protection and work creation. The conclusion reached is that while this strategy poses risks and has its limitations, it can be used to improve information gathering in respect of disabled work seekers that will aid planning and enforcement; to facilitate support for disabled work seekers who experience discrimination; to compel government to improve the implementation and enforcement of employment equity laws in respect of disabled work applicants; to catalyse a holistic approach to social security that considers the interrelationship between social assistance and promoting unemployment protection for disabled persons who are willing and able to work; and to provide different forms of support to disabled people who do not operate in the formal labour market, but who can and do perform work that falls outside the scope of traditional labour market regulation.
Work capacity as a precondition for productivity is a key concern of the welfare state and the economy. Incapacity thus poses the problem of social protection for those deemed unproductive. Based on qualitative research on the employment of disabled people and low-skilled workers, this paper discusses the regulation of different kinds of work in/capacity in the Swiss welfare system and its consequences for the valorization of labor. With the example of disability insurance we show how employers engage in shaping welfare institutions, which then affect their evaluation of workers. On the firm level, social insurance and protective law, in conjunction with company forms, provide dispositives for defining in/capacity and testing the value of workers. They delimit a space for tolerating health-related incapacity and enable compromises between different quality conventions. When ill health and low skills cumulate, the existing social insurances do not offer sufficient protection.

However, this shift was not always accompanied by liberation from restrictive practices. In 2014 a UK Supreme Court ruling on the meaning of 'deprivation of liberty' resulted in large numbers of older and disabled people in care homes, supported living and family homes being re-categorized as 'detained'. Placing this ruling in its social, historical and global context, this book presents a socio-legal analysis of social care detention in the post-carceral era. Drawing from disability rights law and the meanings of 'home' and 'institution' it proposes solutions to the Cheshire West ruling's paradoxical implications
A virus is an ultramicroscopic (20-300 nanometers in diameter) metabolically inert, infectious agent that replicates only within the cells of living hosts. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a viral infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 and is announced by World Health Organization (WHO) as a pandemic. As of 23 August 2020, 23,407,334 infected people and 810,242 deaths were reported worldwide. COVID-19 has affected our daily lives and influences all aspects of life, including economic, social, health, etc. On the healthcare level, the world is faced with many challenges, including diagnosis, quarantine, and treatment of suspected cases, overloaded doctors and healthcare professionals and the requirement of a high level of protection. This research focused on preventive measures - preventive medicine - to combat coronavirus according to Islamic law's and modern medicine's perspective. Sharia focuses on preserving diseases to achieve its objectives thereby, so it has legislated some of the rulings that achieve this purpose, so it based its provisions on bringing interests and warding off evil. This research has been divided into two requirements; the first requirement is that the researcher talked about preventive strategies, one of the most important branches of medicine because it precedes disease before it occurs to be rectified with awareness and guidance. The second requirement: supporting scientific research to make vaccines and medicines is the most important findings of the researcher. Besides the review intent to explaining the extent of compatibility and difference between practical applications in Islamic jurisprudence and modern medicine, Explaining the importance of treatment from diseases and epidemics and the necessity of supporting scientific research to find medicines and vaccines( not only preventive strategies), and A statement of the importance and necessity of adhering to the instructions and instructions issued by the competent medical authorities and institutions with expertise and competence to prevent transmission of infection by prevention, treatment and taking vaccinations.

The main objective of this research article is to analyze the effectiveness of the regulations and jurisprudence for the protection of the minimum subsistence of elderly people in the department of Risaralda during the period 2016-2018. Aging is a natural human process in which there is a deterioration of psychomotor and inter-subjective capacities that, in terms of quality of life and dignity, generates a condition of vulnerability and therefore an urgency for care and attention. This reality makes it necessary to demonstrate the fulfillment of objectives by the Colombian State in relation to this challenge. Insofar as it is the guarantor of the rights related to the protection and inclusion of the elderly as a special group in a society that defines itself according to the principles of the social rule of law and redistributive justice, the State must strive to guarantee the minimum level of subsistence requirements of this population. Objective: to determine the level of protection of the minimum subsistence of elderly people as subjects of special constitutional protection in relation to public policy for aging and older adults attached to public institutional care centers in the department of Risaralda. Methodology: the selected approach was socio-legal with a mixed method. The data collection techniques and instruments were applied based on the analysis and review of documentary sources of the standard and jurisprudence. The initial categories proposed are "minimum subsistence," "fundamental rights" and "social justice." Results: it was evidenced throughout the methodological application that, although in the legislation there is a whole regulation of norms in protection of the minimum subsistence and the rights of said population, it is not evident how well they are cared for, since the different statistics show that the best protected older adults, with a good quality of life are those who are part of private homes. Conclusions: there is no coverage regarding the guarantee of the minimum subsistence for ...
