Physical Features

Urban nighttime leisure spaces (UNLSs), important urban sites of nighttime economic activity, have created enormous economic and social benefits. Both the physical features (e.g., location, shape, and area) and the social functions (e.g., commercial streets, office buildings, and entertainment venues) of UNLSs are important in UNLS mapping. However, most studies rely solely on census data or nighttime light (NTL) images to map the physical features of UNLSs, which limits UNLS mapping, and few studies perform UNLS mapping from a social function perspective. Point-of-interest (POI) data, which can reflect social activity functions, are needed. As a result, a novel methodological UNLS mapping framework, that integrates NTL images and POI data is required. Consequently, we first extracted high-NTL intensity and high-POI density areas from composite data as areas with high nightlife activity levels. Then, the POI data were analyzed to identify the social functions of leisure spaces revealing that nighttime leisure activities are not abundant in Beijing overall, the total UNLS area in Beijing is 31.08 km2, which accounts for only 0.2% of the total area of Beijing. In addition, the nightlife activities in the central urban area are more abundant than those in the suburbs. The main urban area has the largest UNLS area. Compared with the nightlife landmarks in Beijing established by the government, our results provide more details on the spatial pattern of nighttime leisure activities throughout the city. Our study aims to provide new insights into how multisource data can be leveraged for UNLS mapping to enable researchers to broaden their study scope. This investigation can also help government departments better understand the local nightlife situation to rationally formulate planning and adjustment measures.

Social policy toward old people in Poland — conditions, development and directions of changesSocial policy shapes people’s living conditions. In the era of dynamic demographic changes, especially the aging of the population observed in Poland and across the world, the activity of the state focused on improving the quality of life of the elderly is particularly important. Population aging is a demographic process of increasing the proportion of older people while reducing the proportion of children in the society of a given country. Elderly people will continue to be a part of society, mainly due to the progress of civilization, advances in modern medicine and the popularization of so-called healthy living.Social policy toward the elderly should not be limited to managing the social security system and social welfare. Eff ective use of human and social capital of the elderly will be a growing challenge for this policy, and for senior citizens — spending satisfactorily the last years of one’s life. However, for some senior citizens, old age means or will mean poverty and living on the margins of civil society. The Ministry of Family, Labor and Social Polic y is responsible for the social policy of people in Poland, off ering for example in the years 2014–2020 to senior citizens such programs as “Senior +”, the Government Program for Social Activity of the Elderly ASOS or “Care 75+.” Each of the above programs have appropriate criteria that must be met to be able to use them. Are older people eager to use them, or are the eff ects of these programs already visible? This study will attempt to answer the above questions. The main purpose of the article is to diagnose and analyze selected government programs targeted at older people. In addition, perspectives for changes in social policy toward older people in Poland will be determined.

Formation of student youth’s social activity is the leading task of social education, especially under conditions of information society. If psychological and age traits of students as a social group are to be taken into account, the beneficial means of harmonizing this process is leisure activities. Based on interdisciplinary and integrated approaches, a system of social-pedagogical leisure activities was developed to form social activity of student youth. The aim of this article is to analyze the implementation of the social-pedagogical leisure activities system of student youth’s social activity formation. The task of this article is to study the levels of student youth’s social activity before and after implementing the social-pedagogical leisure activities system and to analyze its effectiveness using the corresponding methods. According to outlined tasks, the following methods and indices were selected and used: relative indices method, grouping method, quantitative and qualitative analysis method, Student’s t-test, graphical method. Thanks to systematic approach to experimental part of the research, it was established that the level of students’ social activity formation has improved: the specific share of young people with low level has decreased significantly, while of those with high level has increased. Group curators have noted the tendencies of young people to organize leisure activities, while students themselves were becoming involved in useful leisure practices that were new to them. Effectiveness of the new system was confirmed using statistical methods.

The social welfare of the elderly is an action as an effort to fulfill the needs of the community, especially the elderly who are unable to carry out their social functions, namely by providing assistance and sponsorship services. Thus, it is hoped that the elderly can improve their welfare so that they can live properly. According to Government Regulation Number 43 of 2004, what is meant by efforts to improve the social welfare of the elderly is a series of activities carried out in a coordinated manner between the government and the community to empower the elderly so that the elderly can continue to carry out their social functions and play an active role naturally in the life of the community, nation and state. Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 13 of 1998 concerning the Welfare of the Elderly states that efforts to improve the social welfare of the elderly are carried out on the basis of faith and devotion to God Almighty. Efforts to improve social welfare are aimed at extending the life expectancy and productive period, creating independence and welfare, maintaining the cultural value system and kinship of the Indonesian nation, and getting closer to God Almighty.

Background:Juvenile Idiopathic Artritis (JIA) is a chronic, disabling disease of a childhood age that significantly limits the patient’s capabilities and affects the life quality. Modern drug therapies can prevent most of the negative consequences of the disease and maintain satisfactory functional abilities of patients.Objectives:to examine the nature of the daily physical and social activities of patients suffering from JIA.Methods:the study included 236 patients aged from 4 to 17 years old undergoing in-patient treatment. Among them, 146 (62%) - polyarthritis and spreading oligoarthritis, including 13 (5.5%) - with damage to the eyes, persistent oligoarthritis - 60 (25%), including 26 (11%) with damage to the eyes, systemic JIA 22 (16%), enthesitis-associated 8 (3%). The patients were divided into the following age groups: pre-school age (4-6 years old) – 26 patients (11%), primary school age (7-10 years old) - 54 patients (23%); an average school age (11-12 years old) – 49 patients (21%), senior school age (13-15 years old) -52 patients (22%), youth (16-17 years old) -55 patients (23%). The assessment methods: collection of their pharmacological history, questioning (with an author’s questionnaire) the parents of children aged from 4 to 10 years and older patients themselves, VAS pain evaluation, a CHAQ questionnaire.Results:10 (4%) patients received NSAID, 88 (38%) patients - synthetic basic anti-inflammatory drugs, biological therapy - 133 (56%), 5 patients (2%) did not receive any drug therapy. An average value of the VAS pain evaluation: 2.5 cm, the CHAQ functional insufficiency is low: 137 patients (58%), medium insufficiency in 88 patients (37%), a severe one in 11 patients (5%). Children’s educational institutions were regularly visited by 199 (85%) patients, leisure activities were enjoyed by 90 (38%) patients; at that, the highest rate of leisure activities was recorded for the age group 112-12 years (67% of the entire group), daily walks were recorded in 172 (73%) patients, doing homework on a regular basis by 155 (66%) patients, regular doing exercises of therapeutic gymnastics recorded in 55 (24%) patients.Conclusion:The social activity of patients suffering from JIA can be estimated as satisfactory, while their physical activity as inadequate. An adequate social and physical activation of patients with JIA being in the remission status is required. This can be facilitated by educational programs for patients and their parents, a joint discussion of issues on the social and physical activity of patients and their parents with rheumatologists and rehabilitation therapy specialists.Acknowledgments:I thank senior researcher, E.

The control of land by the state is stated in Article 33 paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia (UUD 1945). Based on this article, it means that the State has authority over land tenure, this encourages the writing of a journal on the application of social functions and the determination of compensation that occurs in the land sector. This research was conducted because the authors see that there are still many disputes related to the implementation of the social function itself and the application of the determination of compensation as stipulated in the provisions relating to this matter it is caused because the application in real life has not been running optimally. This study aims to find out how the government’s authority should be for land tenure and its relation to social functions and the determination of compensation. The location used as a case study is located in Batu Jaya Village, Tangerang City. Data collection is done by interviewing several related parties and also conducting a literature study by finding sources related to government authority over land tenure, the concept of social functions, and the determination of compensation. The results of this study indicate that the government has the power to grant land rights and revoke land rights in the public interest.

Social work in Vietnam is currently considered a promising new science and profession going through a period of institutionalization. Along with evolving charitable activities, there is a need for training social workers, which is confirmed by the need to provide highly qualified assistance to people in difficult situations. Social policy is one of the most important policy systems of each country, which are developed, managed and implemented by the state. In addition, social policy is considered as an instrument of the state’s political system to solve social problems, the im-plementation of the state’s social functions. We give a review of the system status of future bachelors of social work professional training, as well as the policies of the government and ministries of Vietnam to maintain and develop social initiatives. We conclude that the decisions, directions and prospects for the development of policy preparation in the field of practical social work and the training of professional personnel for it in Vietnam in the near future are a rather promising strategy supported by the Government of the country at all levels, as they are considered as an important basis to develop the social work of Vietnam during its international integration.

AbstractSince the political and economic changes that occurred in 1989-1990, Hungary has been in a state of transition from a socialist regime to a democratic culture. In an effort to comply with the rules of democracy, equal opportunities for people with disabilities are demanded on various platforms. However, inclusion in sports is still uncommon, and physical education (P.E.) teachers, trainers, sports scientists, etc. are not provided with in-depth education on adapted sports. The present study examines the involvement of Hungarian adults with VI (visual impairments) in leisure sports and investigates facilitators and barriers which members of the target group face. First, the educational opportunities (segregation or inclusion) provided for Hungarian children with VI are introduced. The historical and legislative backgrounds are presented in order to give a clear review of the social context. Findings of a survey on the activity levels of Hungarian adults with vision loss are introduced, which reflect the target group’s willingness to get involved in leisure activities and also pinpoint factors which hinder their participation (e.g., professionals’ unfamiliarity with the special needs of those with VI and adapted sports opportunities).

Agent Of Change

Over the years, political and socio-economic participation in African society have been asymmetrical, and full of gender inequality. Women’s participation in politics has been very low in Africa especially Nigeria due to the patriarchal structure of the society. Women and their voices are often made to appear irrelevant in issues that affect their lives and society; they are sometimes regimented to ‘kitchen’ and’ bedroom’ responsibilities alone. However, the influence of women’s voice in conflict resolution, socio-economic status of different homes and the society at large cannot be underpinned. This could be seen in the role of Aba women’s riot of 1929. Their engagement in civil society, politics and social movements help to shape their society, and lobby the government towards the development of their areas. Several efforts and agitation both from women quarters and UN Right of Women to ensure that female voices are heard in politics, and policy making and decision taking of the society have been made, yet not much has been achieved in the political structure of Nigeria. This study investigates the social roles of female voice towards national development in selected political speeches of voices in politics encourage social mobilization and collective action towards political success, and resolving conflicts and crisis that bedevil the national development. Again, Women’s voice in politics helps to create social dynamism in politics and serves as agent of change. Keywords: Social Functions, Female Voice, Political Speech, National Development

The Impact

The British Academy was asked by the Government Office for Science to produce an independent review on the long-term societal impacts of COVID-19. This report outlines the evidence across a range of areas, building upon a series of expert reviews, engagement, synthesis and analysis across the research community in the Social Sciences, Humanities and the Arts (SHAPE). It is accompanied by a separate report, Shaping the COVID decade, which considers how policymakers might respond. History shows that pandemics and other crises can be catalysts to rebuild society in new ways, but that this requires vision and interconnectivity between policymakers at local, regional and national levels. With the advent of vaccines and the imminent ending of lockdowns, we might think that the impact of COVID-19 is coming to an end. This would be wrong. We are in a COVID decade: the social, economic and cultural effects of the pandemic will cast a long shadow into the future – perhaps longer than a decade – and the sooner we begin to understand, the better placed we will be to address them. There are of course many impacts which flowed from lockdowns, including not being able to see family and friends, travel or take part in leisure activities. These should ease quickly as lockdown comes to an end. But there are a set of deeper impacts on health and wellbeing, communities and cohesion, and skills, employment and the economy which will have profound effects upon the UK for many years to come. In sum, the pandemic has exacerbated existing inequalities and differences and created new ones, as well as exposing critical societal needs and strengths. These can emerge differently across places, and along different time courses, for individuals, communities, regions, nations and the UK as a whole. We organised the evidence into three areas of societal effect. As we gathered evidence in these three areas, we continually assessed it according to five cross-cutting themes – governance, inequalities, cohesion, trust and sustainability – which the reader will find reflected across the chapters. Throughout the process of collating and assessing the evidence, the dimensions of place (physical and social context, locality), scale (individual, community, regional, national) and time (past, present, future; short, medium and longer term) played a significant role in assessing the nature of the societal impacts and how they might play out, altering their long-term effects.
