The problem of employment is especially acute nowadays for disabled people. At the heart of problem is a confl ict between legal requirements to employ people with disabilities on the one part, and reluctance of employers to employ the disabled, on the other part. Municipal employment centers in cooperation with other involved agencies try to fi nd proper jobs for disabled workers, in the process implementing recommendations of individual professional rehabilitation programs. Based on analysis of the current situation the conclusion is made, that job seekers with disabilities usually encounter especially aggravated diffi culties when trying to obtain employment by themselves. The paper considers the most frequent reasons for denials of employment to disabled job seekers and resulting social and psychological problems. Advantages of having disabled workers at staff , opportunities of inclusive education and distance work as an employing option for a disabled individual are outlined.

The perception of employing people with disabilities in China and the United States The concept of disability has been accompanied by controversies, stereotypes and stigmatization for years. Despite the fact that the number of people with disabilities in China and the United States is still growing, the issue of perceiving the functioning of disabled people in the society and including them to the work environment remains unsolved, notwithstanding the number of legal regulations and financial incentives in China and USA to change the employment of people with disabilities. This study compares the perception of employment of people with disabilities in China and the United States. The comparison was based on a self-conducted study among the Chinese community between February and March 2020 on a group of 121 people using the CAWI method (Computer Assisted Web Interview) and an American study: A national survey of consumer attitudes towards companies that hire people with disabilities, by G.N. Siperstein, N. Romano, A. Mohler, and R. Parker, conducted on 803 residents of the USA randomly selected for telephone interviews. The comparison took place, among others, in the assessment of the employment of disabled people by respondents in the context of other social activities in the company, as well as the satisfaction of the respondents with the results of the disabled at work. It was pointed out that in both China and the USA, previous experiences with people with disabilities may affect a more favorable approach towards employing disabled people. However, there are differences in the satisfaction with services provided by people with disabilities, as well as in trust in disabled workers, where Chinese residents have less positive attitude than their American counterparts.

Disability in Polish films is not a marginal issue. As a film topic, it has been explored in many different ways and contexts due to a nexus of diverse relations, trends and social phenomena. All of which have revealed the degree of intensity of the phenomenon as well as its historic changeability. On the one hand, such images have been a reflection of the filmmakers’ interests and, on the other, a source of knowledge on disability and a kind of catalyst for socio-moral transformation shaping the attitudes and behaviour of society towards the disabled. The problem is presented by,, images of disabled film characters, which are widely used in Polish cinematography and often built on socialstereotypes, as well as by the communicative strategies used by filmmakers in their works on disability. In this context, films about disability have played an opinion-forming role, contributing greatly to an enhanced image of disabled people in society and widening their area of activity. The sexuality of people with disabilities is portrayed as asexuality and hypersexuality, and in Polish cinema it mainly concerns the emotional sphere, and less so the physical.

O presente artigo teve por objetivo, realizar uma breve exposição acerca da história das pessoas/estudantes com deficiência, para entender os “reflexos” no campo educacional, assim como, levantar a importância trazida através da garantia de Direitos tangentes a essa população, até então, antes esquecida. Atualmente, a Educação Especial na Perspectiva da Educação Inclusiva é respaldada através de leis, documentos internacionais e políticas voltadas à inclusão, que subsidiarão o texto do referido artigo e que respaldam, tanto o acesso como a permanência de estudantes com deficiência. Entender a história das pessoas/estudantes com deficiência, ao longo dos tempos, torna-se valoroso, pois, as lutas e a garantia dos seus direitos “provocam” possibilidades de mudanças para o contexto educacional de uma forma geral. Afinal, TODOS possuem o direito à educação, mediante a qualidade de ensino, que foi por muito tempo, negada à grande parte da população.Pessoas com Deficiência. Educação Especial. Educação Inclusiva.

En el presente ensayo, producto de una investigación cualitativa, descriptiva, y analítica, se pretende demostrar la importancia que tiene la inclusión educativa y los derechos de las personas con discapacidad, el espacio que se le debe brindar en la sociedad y el papel que como docente debe afrontarse. Ante los cambios en los modelos educativos, su objetivo debe estar enmarcado en la verdadera práctica del respeto hacia las personas por su simple condición de ser humano y como finalidad dar a conocer la necesidad de aplicar de manera integral la inclusión educativa y por consiguiente privilegiar la parte humana en los procesos educativos. El docente para tomar en consideración la inclusión, igualdad y equidad en su área de trabajo, debe tener conocimiento de la importancia del manejo adecuado de una serie de metodologías, estrategias, recursos e infraestructura relacionados con su estado de vulnerabilidad. La práctica inclusiva necesita de una sociedad donde no exista diferencia de ningún tipo, que las personas con discapacidad tengan las mismas oportunidades que los demás, para lograr sus metas y objetivos, esto permitiría su desarrollo personal y social. AbstractIn this paper, which is the result of a qualitative, descriptive and analytical research, it is aimed to demonstrate the importance of inclusive education and the rights of the disabled people, the space they should be offered in society and the role that teachers must face. Given the changes in educational models, their objectives should be framed in the real practice of respect towards people for their simple human condition and intended to publicize the need to apply in an integrated way the inclusive education and thus privileging human part in educational processes. Teachers must be aware of the importance of proper management of a number of methodologies and strategies related to disabled people and their state of vulnerability in order to consider the inclusion, equality and equity in their work area. Inclusive practice needs of a society where there is no difference whatsoever, that people with disabilities have the same opportunities as others to achieve their goals and objectives, this would allow their personal and social development.

Against the background of crisis and cuts, citizens can express solidarity with groups in various ways. Using novel survey data this article explores the attitudes and behaviours of citizens in their expressions of solidarity with disabled people and in doing so illuminates the differences and similarities across two European contexts: Italy and the UK. The findings reveal pools of solidarity with disabled people across both countries that have on the one hand similar foundations such as the social embeddedness and social trust of citizens, while on the other hand contain some differences, such as the more direct and active nature of solidarity in Italy compared to the UK and the role of religiosity as an important determinant, particularly in Italy. Across both countries the role of ‘deservingness’ was key to understanding solidarity, and the study’s conclusions raise questions about a solidarity embedded by a degree of paternalism and even religious piety.

Physically disabled persons can have sleep problems, which affects their mental health more than those in non-disabled people. However, there are few studies on the relationship between sleep duration and mental health targeting physically disabled people in South Korea, and existing studies on the disabled have mostly used data collected from convenience rather than nationally representative samples, limiting the generalization of the results. This study used data from the second wave of the Panel Survey of Employment for the Disabled (PSED, 2016–2018, 1st–3rd year). Participants included 1851 physically disabled individuals. The Chi-square test and generalized estimating equation (GEE) were used and the Akaike information criterion (AIC) value and the AIC log Bayes factor approximation were used to select sleep trajectories. This is the first study to elucidate multiple sleep trajectories in physically disabled people in Korea, and the relationship between sleep duration trajectories and self-rated depressive symptoms. People with physical disabilities who sleep more than 9 h have the highest risk of depression and need more intensive management as a priority intervention.

In this article, we are concerned with the ethical implications of the entanglement of embodiment and non-human materialities. We argue for an approach to embodiment which recognises its inextricable relationship with multiple materialities. From this, three ethical points are made: first, we argue for an ethical relation to ‘things’ not simply as inanimate objects but as the neglected Others of humanity’s (social and material) world. Second, there is a need to recognise different particularities within these entanglements. We draw on the work of Merleau-Ponty and Levinas to think through how the radical alterity of these Others can be acknowledged, whilst also recognising our intercorporeal intertwining with them. Third, we argue that recognition of this interconnectedness and entanglement is a necessary ethical and political position from which the drawing of boundaries and creation of separations that are inherent in social organising can be understood and which contribute to the denigration, discrimination and dismissal of particular forms of embodiment, including those of non-human Others. In order to explore the ethical implications of these entanglements, we draw upon fieldwork in a large UK-based not-for-profit organisation which seeks to provide support for disabled people through a diverse range of services. Examining entanglements in relation to the disabled body makes visible and problematises the multiple differences of embodiments and their various interrelationships with materiality.
