Editorial: Why do We Choose to Address Health 2020?
2013
Recommended Citation: Flahault A, Martin-Moreno JM. Why do we choose to address health 2020? Public Health Reviews. 2013;35: epub ahead of print.What can we predict for 2020? Solar and lunar eclipses? Without a doubt. Climate change? Most likely. Rising sea levels? Signs point to yes. Beyond that, however, in the world of human events, it is best to be cautious. In the field of health and medicine (or anywhere else, for that matter), no one predicted the most important discoveries of the twentieth century. Economists were no more successful in foreseeing financial or economic crises. The pundits did not forecast any of the recent wars, disruptions or even the recent Arab Spring movements-in…

This is a very unusual association between two rare and progressive disorders, both affecting the spinal motoneurons. Syringomyelia might have acted as a phenotypic modifier in this ALS patient.

Abstract In the framework of the Mig-HealthCare project, a roadmap to community-based health care was developed including a toolbox and an algorithm. The Mig-HealthCare partners piloted parts of the roadmap in 8 EU countries. Piloting included actions on health promotion issues for migrants/refugees, mental health issues, non-communicable diseases, screening for breast and cervical cancer and vaccination issues. Two recommended practices were also piloted among migrants/refugees namely the 'circle of health' and health mentors while the Greek partner tested the developed algorithm in various health settings. All pilots were evaluated using common and pilot specific indicators for (a) approp…

Koncepcje uznania w perspektywie pedagogiki ogólnej jako alternatywa wobec neoliberalnej wizji współczesnego świata
2018
The most important task facing an individual is the work on their own identity – it is a manifestation of self-realization and freedom of a modern man. Recognition as an intersubjective relationship between people is a condition of our identity. A community based on recognition relationships is an alternative to a neo-liberal social concept. Intersubjective relationships of recognition are formed, according to Honneth, in three spheres: in the sphere of intimate relations (family, people that are close to us, significant others), in the sphere of law and in the sphere of economy. We have three areas then, in which, in relations with others, we build our identity: family, law and economy wit…
