BackgroundThe main objective of this study was to investigate the frequency and type of oral pathological changes, oral subjective symptoms and the knowledge about oral cancer in the population of ...Croatian military invalids from the Homeland War.Material and MethodsA total of 102 Croatian military invalids from the Homeland War participated in the study. Data were collected on the presence of subjective symptoms in the oral cavity, and a detailed clinical examination of the oral mucosa was performed.ResultsAlmost half of the participants, 46 (45.1%), reported being smokers, and 64 (62.7%) consumed alcohol daily. Subjective symptoms in the oral cavity were reported by 25 (24.5%) of them. Pathological changes were found in 35 (34.3%) participants, of whom 14 (13.7%) had potentially malignant changes. Pathohistological findings confirmed the diagnosis of a potentially malignant lesion in 10 subjects and indicated the presence of moderate dysplasia in two, carcinoma in situ in one, and invasive carcinoma in one.ConclusionsParticipants didn't show adequate knowledge of risk factors. Forty-one changes in the oral cavity were found in 35 subjects, and as many as 14 were potentially malignant. According to the participants, most dentists and family physicians don't thoroughly and regularly examine their patients' oral mucosa. Key words:Oral cancer, oral lichen planus, leukoplakia, erythroplakia, actinic cheilitis, Croatian Homeland War invalids.
In the interwar period there was a widespread wish to express gratitude towards those who suf fered after World War I. The Romanian state assumed a central role in initiating and coordinat ing ...programs meant to ensure protection, support, and measures of social integration for the war invalids by adopting a wide-ranging legislative framework. The aim of the present study has been to review these legislative measures. In addition, it went beyond this analysis by presenting the difficult lives of the Romanian war invalids, due to the great number of affected individuals, to financial difficulties, and to frequent changes and readjustments in the law. The analysis of case studies from the periodical Glasul Eroilor (The voice of the heroes) has revealed examples of infringement of the invalids’ rights, of dysfunctions and errors committed by state officials, of abuses and illegalities. Consequently, many Romanian war invalids felt that society was not really grateful for the sacrifices they had made.
Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
Der Kalmenhof wurde 1888 vom „Verein für die Idiotenanstalt zu Idstein“ gegründet. Während der NS-Zeit wurden in der „Kinderfachabteilung“ hunderte Kinder und Jugendliche ...von Ärzten und Pflegern getötet.
Material und Methoden
Nachdem ein historisches Gutachten und Georadaruntersuchungen Hinweise auf Gräber außerhalb einer als Kriegsgräberstätte ausgewiesenen Fläche erbrachte, erfolgten im Sommer 2020 Grabungen.
Ergebnisse
Außerhalb der Kriegsgräberstätte fanden sich keine Gräber. Innerhalb des Areals wurde eine Mehrfachbestattung von drei Individuen in einer 160 × 65 cm großen Grube entdeckt. Die knöchernen Überreste wurden exhumiert und makroskopisch, radiologisch, toxikologisch und molekulargenetisch untersucht. Zwei Individuen waren männlich, das Sterbealter betrug etwa 2,0 bis 2,25 Jahre und 2,5 Jahre. Das dritte Individuum war eine Jugendliche, die Untersuchungen ihrer sterblichen Überreste erbrachten Hinweise auf wiederholte und längere Zeit bestehende Phasen mit unzureichender Nährstoffversorgung. An keinem der Individuen fanden sich Zeichen einer körperlichen Behinderung, prä- oder perimortale Verletzungen. Die toxikologischen Untersuchungen verliefen für alle Individuen negativ. Für die beiden kindlichen Skelette konnte ein vollständiges STR-Profil erstellt werden, an dem jugendlichen Skelett gelang lediglich eine Geschlechtsbestimmung.
Diskussion
Die Ergebnisse stützen historische Angaben, wonach Gräber mehrfach belegt wurden. Demgegenüber war eine Unterteilung des Friedhofes nach dem Sterbealter nicht nachvollziehbar, ebenso wenig, dass sich auf angrenzenden Grundstücken Gräber befinden. Durch die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse wurde ein konkreter Identitätsverdacht für die drei Individuen erarbeitet. Die knöchernen Überreste wurden am Volkstrauertag 2020 im Rahmen einer Gedenkveranstaltung wieder beigesetzt.
Cet article s’intéresse à l’évolution de la politique franquiste d’assistance aux invalides dits civils (1939–1975). Après 1939, seuls les aveugles et les mutilés de guerre franquistes obtiennent une ...aide substantielle de l’État. Classées au sein des « invalides civils », les autres catégories d’invalides (invalides de naissance, accidentés du travail, mutilés de guerre républicaine) se retrouvent en très grande situation de précarité. Au cours des années 1950, certains dirigeants invalides civils se mobilisent pour constituer une association nationale des invalides espagnols. Ils souhaitent obtenir la redéfinition des politiques d’assistance qui leur sont destinées, imprégnées jusqu’alors de l’idée de bienfaisance, vers une politique basée sur le droit à l’emploi. La configuration politique et associative du régime franquiste pèse considérablement sur les caractéristiques finales de leur association nationale, l’Asociación Nacional de Invalidos Civiles (ANIC) créée en 1958. En effet, les dirigeants invalides entretiennent des relations amicales ou conflictuelles avec de multiples acteurs au sein du régime franquiste (ONCE, Benemérito Cuerpo de Mutilados de Guerra por la Patria, OSE) et la nature de ces relations pèse fortement sur les attributions de l’ANIC. Cet article analyse les stratégies des dirigeants invalides, leur lutte pour le droit à l’emploi et les obstacles auxquels ils sont confrontés.
This article explains the evolution of the Franquist policy of assistance to the civilian invalids (1939–1975). After 1939, only the disabled ex-serviceman pro-Franco and the blinds obtain a substantial help of the State. Classified within the “civil invalids”, the other categories of invalids (congenital invalids, disabled workers, disabled ex-serviceman republicans) are in a very great unstable situation. During the 1950s, some civilian invalids leaders mobilize themselves to set up a national association of invalids. They wish to obtain the redefinition of the Franquist policy of assistance to the civilian invalids, impregnated by the idea of charity, towards a policy based on the right to employment. The political and associative configuration of the Franquist regime reflect considerably on the final characteristics of their national association, the Asociación Nacional de Invalidos Civiles (ANIC) created in 1958. The invalid leaders have friendly or conflicting relations with multiple actors within the Franquist regime (ONCE, Benemérito Cuerpo de Mutilados de Guerra por la Patria, OSE), and the nature of these relations strongly reflects on the attributions of the ANIC. This article analyzes the strategies of the invalid leaders and their fight for the right to employment.
Veterans' and war invalids' organizations were - nationally and internationally - among the biggest social movements of the interwar period. While at first organised on a national level, many of them ...discovered international platforms to promote their interests. This article explores the relationship between the veterans' and war invalids' movement and the International Labour Organization (ILO). By undertaking a thorough analysis of the files of the Central European archives as well as archives of the League of Nations and the ILO, it traces how veterans' and war invalids' issues became a matter of labour politics. In this process, the article argues, war invalids - instead of veterans - became the core target group of the ILO's engagement in the field. This went hand in hand with an increasing fixation on labour and welfare. Focusing on the war invalids' political positioning between pacifism and revisionism, it follows back the preconditions of the founding of Conférence Internationale des Associations des Mutilés et Anciens Combattants (CIAMAC) in 1925, hinting specifically at the importance of East Central and South Eastern European organizations and activists, who are often neglected in the shadow of the more outspoken French and German communities.
Mikhail Iashin, originally from Krasnoyarsk, is the Director of the Regional Public Organization "Society for the Disabled of the War in Afghanistan", the Moscow Cheshire Home since 2015. He was ...himself a resident of the Cheshire Home in 1996 - as an invalid of the second group – waiting to be fitted with a prosthesis. On the 29th of July 1985, he had stepped on an anti-personnel mine in Afghanistan and lost a leg. Since then, he became an active member of the Cheshire Home. As a member of the State Duma, he was able – at his predecessor's death - to pull some strings and solve some problems. He was encouraged to run for director, was elected and confirmed to this position the following year.
The first instance assessment of all disability sectors in Italy takes place in most parts of the country in two stages. The first step is the applicant's examination and judgment performed by the ...Local Health Authority (ASL). The second phase is the verification of the National Social Security Institute (INPS) on the ASL report, which ends with its confirmation or suspension and repetition. Disability examination strategies can fluctuate between the evaluation automatism and the personalised approach. Evaluation automatism implies a necessary and shared prediction of the judgment due to a specific diagnosis. The personalised approach favours a rigorously individualised, unrepeatable assessment, specifically adapted to the case examined. In both perspectives, the criteria for defining disability belong to a medical model that measures the disease-related impairment. The degree of sharing of judgments between ASL and INPS can often imply and express the contribution of the evaluation automatism to the procedure.
