Pomoc społeczna a jakość życia osób starszych

2013

Postęp cywilizacji oraz towarzyszące mu procesy nie tylko przyczyniają się do wydłużenia życia ludzkiego, ale także ujawniają niedomagania związane z koniecznością opieki nad ludźmi w okresie późnej adolescencji. Starzenie się jest naturalnym procesem w życiu każdego człowieka związanym nie tylko ze zmianami fizjologicznymi, które zachodzą w jego organizmie, ale także psychicznymi i społecznymi. Zwiększająca się liczba osób starszych wymusza potrzebę zapewnienia im właściwej opieki i dbałości o odpowiedni poziom jakości ich społecznego funkcjonowania. Niestety nie wszyscy z nich mogą korzystać z dobrej opieki rodzinnej. Dlatego też zadanie to musi przejąć państwo, którego obowiązkiem jest d…

“They're always in a hurry” : Older people's perceptions of access and recognition in health and social care services

2019

The article examines older people's perceptions of quality of life from the perspective of access and use of health and social care services. The data include focus group discussions with older people living alone. The data were analysed using thematic analysis focusing on the older people's collective views on health and social care services as supportive or restrictive factors for their quality of life. Two central themes were present in all the focus group discussions: the importance of accessing services and information regarding the services, and need for recognition within the services/by the professionals. Both themes were connected to the older people's desire to maintain autonomy i…

The association between perceived environmental barriers and walking activity among older adults

2011

With increasing age, people become less physically active, partly due to increased vulnerability to environmental demands. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between perceived barriers in the outdoor environment and walking activity among older adults. These analyses form part of the Screening and Counseling for Physical Activity and Mobility project (SCAMOB). The study design was cross-sectional. The participants were 75-81-year-old, able to walk independently outdoors, not highly physically active and were living in the center of Jyväskylä (N=632, 159 men, 473 women). Walking activity and environmental barriers were assessed with self-reports. An indicator of environ…

What Doesn’t Work for the Lowest Level Literacy Learners and Why?

2013

Traditional approaches for teaching reading to Low Educated Second Language and Literacy Acquisition (LESLLA) adults are problematic because foundational learning and cognitive areas are generally underdeveloped in these students. Three methods for reading instruction (phonics, sight words and whole language) are explored in light of the LESLLA learner. Task analyses are undertaken for each method, and gaps present in LESLLA learners are revealed. The task analysis method is advocated for lesson planning, and a recommendation is made for teachers to consider what is being expected of students when activities are presented. Educators must be reminded that LESLLA learners are likely to be pre…

Grappling with the Oral Skills: The learning processes of the low-educated adult second language and literacy learner

2013

This paper focuses on the learning processes in L2 literacy classes in the Netherlands, discussing specifically possible influences of the learning processes during the practice of the oral skills. To achieve a better understanding of the students’ spoken language development, classroom processes of six adult L2 literacy classes were observed during a period of eight months and students were pre- and post-assessed. In comparing the classes, notable differences in gain scores in morphosyntactic features as well as aspects of relevance and coherence in discourse surfaced. In order to explain these differences, certain factors were examined in relation to learner characteristics, classro…

SICILY: THE OVERWHELMING FLUXES OF MASS TOURISM, IMMIGRATION AND STREET MARKETS

2016

Tre progetti sono sviluppati nello stupendo, sebbene in parte distrutto, centro storico di Palermo, il quarto si trova invece ad Agrigento sulla costa sud ovest della Sicilia, un sito archeologico di rinomanza mondiale. Lo scenario di questi progetti è la Sicilia dei prossimi anni nella quale enormi masse di persone arriveranno. - Da un lato il turismo di massa con il suo straripante sviluppo porterà gente al Nord - principalmente Palermo – e loro molto spesso si dirigeranno a Sud a vedere le rovine greche. - similmente una latrettanto enorme massa di gente disperata sbarcherà avventurosamente sulla costa sud e farà lo stesso percorso ma in verso opposto verso Palermo, tappa intermedia vers…
