Dalsza dynamiczna ewolucja elektronicznego monitoringu nastąpiła wskutek kluczowych reform prawa karnego, jakie w szczególności przeprowadzono w latach 2015-2018. Jednakże nie bez znaczenia pozostaje okoliczność, że pewne nadzwyczajne, a zarazem kompleksowe unormowania przewidziano również w związku z wprowadzonym w dniu 20 marca 2020 r. stanem epidemii, co znalazło wyraz m.in. w ustawie z dnia 31 marca 2020 r. o zm…

Personal Social Networks of Community-Dwelling Oldest Old During the Covid-19 Pandemic—A Qualitative Study
2021
The COVID-19 pandemic and its related restrictions have affected the everyday life of older people. Advanced age is a significant predisposing factor for a more severe COVID-19 infection, increasing the risk for hospitalization and mortality.

Personal networks and social activity are known protective factors against the premature decline in health and functioning, and it is widely acknowledged that social isolation increases feelings of loneliness, poor quality of life, and even the risk for diseases and disabilities among older adults. This qualitati…
