Propagowanie idei zrównoważonego rozwoju w serwisach społecznościowych
2017
Problemy ekologiczne przekraczają granice polityczne, a wdrażanie zasad zrównoważonego rozwoju napotyka na bariery i jest kontestowane przez niektóre grupy społeczne. Dalsza realizacja w pełnym zakresie tej idei wymaga zatem głębokich przemian w społeczeństwie,poprzedzonych szerokimi konsultacjami społecznymi. W związku z tym tworzy się przestrzeń do edukacyjnych i promocyjnych działań na jej rzecz. Serwisy społecznościowe posiadają wielką i jeszcze nie w pełni docenianą siłę oddziaływania społecznego. Stosowane tam metody przekazu treści i sposoby argumentowania nie mieszczą się w klasycznych ramach. W prezentowanym artykule skupiono się na specyfice wykorzystania serwisów społecznościowyc…
Disability in Older People and Socio-Economic Deprivation in Italy: Effects on the Care Burden and System Resources
2021
The sustainability of European Long-Term Care systems faces the demographic and socio-economic circumstances, mainly the increasing ageing of the population, with its chronic disease conditions, and the simultaneous economic general crises, exacerbated by the recent COVID-19 pandemic.

Italian welfare, which is based on family care regimes and regional strategies, and is oriented to private or public care, is a relevant case study with which to analyze such a relationsh…
