In the field of cultural tourism, museums have been pioneers in focusing on visitors with disabilities. They have used inclusive orientation to offer the kind of memorable and satisfying experiences that are so beneficial to a group at constant risk of social exclusion. Their task is made more difficult, however, by visitors’ perception of barriers to inclusion, and identification therefore becomes a priority at the strategic level. Based on this idea, the present study analyzes experiences from two tours of the CosmoCaixa Barcelona museum by 32 people with disabilities (PwD). The use of ethnographic techniques and post-experience interviews shows how, despite the legal framework in relation to people with disabilities, hospitality managers find it difficult to put this framework into practice and cater to the needs of this segment of the population. Two factors become particularly clear: the difficulties experienced by museum staff in identifying people with disability, and museum managers’ lack of training and knowledge of the wants and needs of people with disabilities. Academic and strategic recommendations for museum managers are provided at the end of the article.

AbstractIntroduction:Health care is one of the most important fields not only in individual countries, but globally as well, yet it remains one of the most sensitive topics, too. Global organisations have calculated that one out of seven residents around the world has some sort of disability. It is very likely that due to various processes, the number of people with disabilities will increase. Therefore, the world in general and each country in particular, Lithuania included, faces a great challenge: to ensure suitable and high-quality accessibility to health care services for the disabled. Each country must have clear political guidelines and strategies how to ensure training of health care specialists qualified and able to carry out their tasks when working with the disabled. Therefore, this article analyses global trends of training specialists to work with the disabled and legal basis of such specialist training in Lithuania.Methods:This article features analysis of scientific literary sources and legal documents.Results:International and national Lithuanian documents have clearly established that people with disabilities have equal rights to health care services like the rest of the population without any reservations, so this norm must be established adhering to the principles of accessibility, suitability and universality, and which basically should be ensured by health care specialists. However, document analysis has revealed that documents governing the training of health care specialists in Lithuania and processes related to it pay little attention to the training of future health care specialists to work with the disabled, while descriptions of some specific areas of studies, e.g. dentistry, pharmacy, etc. designed to train health care specialists do no address the work with the disabled at all.Discussion and conclusions:Analysis has revealed that institutions of higher education in Lithuania that train health care specialists are not legally entitled to, other requirements aside, to focus the study process on the work with the disabled. Therefore, it begs the question whether such specialists are actually ready to implement the requirements guiding the provision of health care services and ensure top-quality and proper provision of services to all members of the society, irrespective of their special needs, disabilities, etc. Therefore, this article can serve as a basis for further research related to the training of health care specialists to work with the disabled in order to identify what practice is applied in this area in other countries, as well as to ensure it internationally, what are the options and means required to implement it and how to improve the training of health care specialists as much as possible to work with the disabled ensuring the quality of health care in particular and their life in general.

Sexuality represents one of the basic dimensions of human existence, which is channelled through sexual and gender identification and role, sexual orientation, eroticism, emotional commitment, satisfaction, and reproduction. Sexuality is also linked to many significant health problems, especially in the area of reproductive and sexual health. Sexual health is the condition of physical, emotional, mental, and social wellbeing that is linked with sexuality. Knowledge about sexual health, contraception and selection of contraceptives, and the risk of sexually transmittable diseases is not only relevant for individuals? sexuality; it?s also important for encouraging the use of health services and other forms of support that are necessary to protect youth from sexually transmittable diseases and the maintenance of sexual and re-productive health. When it comes to sexuality and care of reproductive and sexual health, some groups are especially vulnerable. Bearing in mind the specific conditions women with disabilities grow up in and their dependence on assistance and support from other people, satisfying their needs for partnership, sexuality, and parenthood becomes unattainable for many, or it takes place under the control of professionals or family members. In this context, people with visual impairments are part of a vulnerable group, acknowledging that visual impairment leads to limitations in everyday life, autonomy, and quality of life to its full potential. The purpose of this article is to describe the phenomena of sexuality and sexual health among people with visual impairments, and to point out the existing international and national normative frameworks relevant to the sexual health of people with disabilities. Existing legislative acts acknowledge the right to a normal sexual life, as well as to the care and maintenance of the sexual health of people with disabilities. However, there are many obstacles and limitations that hamper the practical application of these rights: health issues, communication problems, lack of privacy, people?s acceptance of the inhibition of their own sexuality, or their acceptance of the labelling and normalisation of their situation. Even considering the existence of the regulation, the system of support for maintaining and improving the sexual and reproductive health of women with disabilities is not developed enough. The lack of literature relating to this topic shows that its importance is not recognised enough among the relevant actors, including organisations that advocate for people with disabilities. Realising the existing general legal framework requires the will of policymakers, who could enact and implement specific bylaw regulations, as well as activating the societal actors relevant to this field.

This chapter examines several options available to financially troubled companies in connection with out-of-court restructurings in the US and the UK, and provides practical guidance for each option. Specifically, we discuss tender offers, exchange offers and amendments of outstanding debt securities, including the use of exit consents, and their use in conjunction with prepackaged or prearranged bankruptcies in the US. We also discuss the principal legal framework surrounding bond repurchases, issues relating to such repurchases, and the liability management strategy of combining the consensual nature of the tender offer with an exit consent in the UK.

Background. People with disabilities tend to have greater oral health problems compared to those without disabilities. This may be due to barriers they come across in accessing dental services. Objectives. The objective of this systematic review was to provide a critical digest of the scientific literature concerning barriers and facilitators of access to oral health services for people with disabilities. Methods. The electronic databases PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), and Brazilian Library of Dentistry (BBO) were searched using keywords relevant to the subject. The search was not restricted to specific languages or years of publication; all relevant studies were translated and reviewed. Results. Sixteen studies including 14 articles, a doctoral thesis, and a monograph were selected, and their quality was analysed using the Downs and Black assessment tool. Barriers to dental services were divided into physical or nonphysical based on the dentist’s perspective, as per the perception of parents/guardians or by the persons with disabilities. The barriers that emerged included the dentist’s lack of preparation to assist people with disabilities, structural problems of access to dental offices, communication difficulties, and lack of awareness regarding the need for dental treatment for the disabled person. Conclusion. It is concluded that people with disabilities continue to run into complex physical, behavioural, or multidimensional barriers in accessing dental services. Improved training of dentists for the care of this population is hereby emphasized. The legal framework enabling access to dental care for people with disabilities must also be respected in each country.

Each year the number of people with disabilities in Latvia increases. More and more children are born with congenital problems. Many opportunities are not used to integrate disabled people in the society. The study aims to evaluate the legal situation in Latvia of both children and adults with disabilities. People with functional disorders are an integral part of society and the legislative framework should prevent their discrimination. While carrying out the analysis of legal framework defining documents, as well as the reflection of personal experience, it was found that the actual situation in the country does not entirely meet with the legal framework. People with special needs in both Latvian statutes and everyday life are still denoted with a term ’invalid’. In assessing the dynamics of the number of disabled children, it was found that the number of such children is increasing.

Museum Of Fine Arts

Apart from being a tourist attraction, museums also have a function as a place for us as a society to learn and get to know about history. So that the museum has an important role in society. Lack of museum management has made public interest in the museum lessened. People generally visit museums with the aim of being curious and wanting to get benefits. However, in reality the management of this museum cannot meet the needs of the community, and makes the museum unable to carry out its role as a public and social facility in providing services to the community. The purpose of this writing is to determine the performance of museum management, to determine the weaknesses of the museum, and to make a management strategy proposal for the Museum of Fine Arts and Ceramics to increase public interest. The author examines the existing literature in relation to management, promotion, and museums. The data used consisted of primary data (the existing condition of the museum, interviews, and questionnaires) and secondary data consisting of MSRK documentation, comparative museum documentation, and others. By using five analysis tools and five analysis methods. To find out how the management strategy can be applied, the writer uses analysis (location, physical condition of the museum, management performance, best practices, and perceptions and preferences). The results of the author's research are in the form of strategic proposals for the management and promotion of the Fine Arts and Ceramics Museum. Keywords:  Management; Museum of Fine Arts and Ceramics; PromotionAbstrakMuseum selain sebagai objek wisata juga memiliki fungsi sebagai tempat kita sebagai masyarakat belajar dan mengenal tentang sejarah. Sehingga museum memiliki peran penting dalam masyarakat. Kurangnya pengelolaan museum membuat ketertarikan masyarakat pada museum berkurang. Masyarakat pada umumnya berkunjung ke museum memiliki tujuan dari rasa keingintahuan dan ingin mendapatkan manfaat.

Abstract Background: Disability is an evolving concept that results from the complex interaction between a person with an impairment and the context in which he/she lives. There is limited understanding on the types, access and use of community assets valuable for people with disabilities, and the role of contextual factors in Colombia. Our goal with this work was to identify the factors at the levels of the socio-ecological framework, and their interaction, that influence the use of community assets among people with physical disabilities and community stakeholders in Envigado, Colombia. Methods: Using participatory mapping, a community based participatory approach, we carried out an assessment of community assets identified by people with disabilities and rehabilitation professionals. In-depth interviews (n=32) informed the design of two asset mapping activities, one among people with disabilities (n=5)and a second with rehabilitation professionals(n=4). Results were presented in a community forum to receive feedback on the findings. Results: Main findings indicate a chain of contextual factors that limit access and use of assets stemming from the personal (e.g. financial resources, inaccessible housing), interpersonal level (e.g. lack of a personal assistance or aid), and community levels (e.g. lack of accessible public transportation and inaccessible buildings). In most cases these barriers are heightened by system level barriers (e.g. lack of effective enforcement of the legal framework). Conclusions: Identifying these contextual factors, and their interactions, calls for stronger enforcement of the existing legal framework through articulated work between different stakeholders, so that people with disabilities can enjoy community assets.

One of the main components of a developed state is to ensure human rights and freedoms and decent living conditions. Ensuring social protection of people with disabilities and normal living conditions is one of the main issues today. The article reveals the essence of normative and legal provision of life of people with disabilities in Ukraine. The main legislative documents on social security and protection of people with disabilities were also collected and analyzed. In order to fully outline the real picture of the opportunities that the state provides to people in this category. The purpose of the article: to analyze the legal framework for the livelihood of people with disabilities, to determine the main provisions, purposes and activities. Research methods: during the study, the search for sources of information, relevant legal documents was used. Priority legislative documents regulating the issues of social security of people with disabilities were also analyzed and singled out. The positive and negative aspects of the social security system of life of people with disabilities have been synthesized. The received information is generalized for systematization of the basic provisions concerning social security of people with disabilities. The above material allows us to draw the following conclusions that the legal framework for the protection of people with disabilities is indeed a powerful means of improving their living conditions. It involves solving a large number of problems and issues in the field of social security for people with disabilities. The findings of the study indicate the imperfection of the system of ensuring the livelihood of people with disabilities. The main disadvantage of the system is the lack of comprehensive impact on the lives of people with disabilities. Despite the interrelationships between the regulatory and structural elements of the social security system. This system will be more effective if it works comprehensively, ie in harmony with all structural elements. The legal framework on the subject of research is a fairly extensive system, which includes a number of bylaws, which also requires detailed study, which will be the purpose of further research.
