The Poverty of Privacy Rights makes a simple, controversial argument: Poor mothers in America have been deprived of the right to privacy.The U.S. Constitution is supposed to bestow rights equally. ...Yet the poor are subject to invasions of privacy that can be perceived as gross demonstrations of governmental power without limits. Courts have routinely upheld the constitutionality of privacy invasions on the poor, and legal scholars typically understand marginalized populations to have "weak versions" of the privacy rights everyone else enjoys. Khiara M. Bridges investigates poor mothers' experiences with the state—both when they receive public assistance and when they do not. Presenting a holistic view of just how the state intervenes in all facets of poor mothers' privacy, Bridges shows how the Constitution has not been interpreted to bestow these women with family, informational, and reproductive privacy rights. Bridges seeks to turn popular thinking on its head: Poor mothers' lack of privacy is not a function of their reliance on government assistance—rather it is a function of their not bearing any privacy rights in the first place. Until we disrupt the cultural narratives that equate poverty with immorality, poor mothers will continue to be denied this right.
Policing Humanitarianism examines the ways in which European Union policies aimed at countering the phenomenon of migrant smuggling affects civil society actors' activities in the provision of ...humanitarian assistance, access to rights for irregular immigrants and asylum seekers. It explores the effects of EU policies, laws and agencies' operations in anti-migrant smuggling actions and their implementation in the following EU Member States: Italy, Greece, Hungary and the UK.The book critically studies policies designed and implemented since 2015, during the so called 'European refugee humanitarian crisis'. Building upon the existing academic literature covering the 'criminalisation of migration ' in the EU, the book examines the wider set of punitive, coercive or control-oriented dynamics affecting Civil Society Actors' work and activities through the lens of the notion of ' policing the mobility society'. This concept seeks to provide a framework of analysis that allows for an examination of a wider set of practices, mechanisms and tools driven by a logic of policing in the context of the EU Schengen border framework: those which affect not only people, who move (qualified as third- country nationals for the purposes of EU law), but also people who mobilise in a rights-claiming capacity on behalf of and with immigrants and asylum- seekers.
The Poznań Foundation of Humanitarian Relief “Redemptoris Missio” originated twenty-five years ago. Its mission is to provide professional medical assistance to missionaries and mission centers. It ...is the first foundation which involved lay people in the missionary activity of the Catholic Church. It was also founded mostly by lay people and is still managed by them. Many lay volunteers are also engaged in its work. In this study the author describes the genesis of the Foundation and its goals in the context of the pastoral paradigm. The analytical-critical method of its functioning was analyzed, as well as analysis of the source documents of the foundation. On the basis of the foundation's activities an institutional model of secular involvement in the Church’s missionary activity is presented, which can be replicated in other pastoral centers.
Važnost poznavanja prve pomoći ogleda se kroz njezine ciljeve koji su spašavanje života, sprječavanje nastanka invaliditeta te skraćivanje vremena liječenja i oporavka. Projekt „Sigurnost na vodi“ ...provodi se u organizaciji Crvenog križa u suradnji s Fakultetom za odgojne i obrazovne znanosti Sveučilišta Josipa Jurja Strossmayera u Osijeku. Terenskim poučavanjem, seminarima i radionicama koje provode djelatnici i volonteri Crvenog križa nastoji se educirati studente procesima kojima je svrha sprječavanje nesreće na vodi te postupcima pružanja pomoći ozlijeđenima ili oboljelima. Cilj je rada utvrditi koliko su studenti, budući odgojitelji i učitelji upoznati s osnovama pružanja prve pomoći te povećati svijest o važnosti poznavanja osnova pružanja prve pomoći. Istraživanje je provedeno na uzorku od 150 studenata Fakulteta za odgojne i obrazovne znanosti, anketnim upitnikom koji je bio dostupan u digitalnom obliku te su ga studenti dobrovoljno i anonimno popunjavali. Upitnik se sastojao od 18 pitanja otvorenog, zatvorenog i kombiniranog tipa. Nakon statističke obrade, istraživanjem je utvrđeno kako se većina studenata susrela s teorijom prve pomoći u dosadašnjem školovanju, ali ne poznaju u potpunosti postupke djelovanja. Istaknuta je potreba za kontinuiranom edukacijom i važnosti obnavljanja praktičnih znanja pružanja prve pomoći među studentima iz područja odgojno-obrazovnih znanosti te su navedene preporuke za daljnja istraživanja.
The importance of first aid knowledge is reflected in its goals: to save lives, prevent disability and shorten treatment and recovery time. Therefore, the Red Cross organizes a "Water Safety" project with the Faculty of Education at the Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek. Through field teaching, seminars, and workshops conducted by employees and volunteers of the Red Cross, an effort has been made to educate students on processes aimed at preventing accidents on the water and procedures for assisting the injured or sick. The work aims to determine how familiar students, future educators, and teachers are with the basics of first aid and to increase awareness of the importance of knowing the basics of first aid. The research was conducted on a sample of 150 students of the Faculty of Education, using a survey questionnaire that was available in digital form and filled out voluntarily and anonymously by the students. The questionnaire consisted of 18 open, closed, and combined questions. After statistical analysis, the research showed that most students had encountered the theory of first aid in their previous education. However, they still need to learn the first aid procedures thoroughly. The need for continuous education and the importance of renewing practical first aid knowledge among students of educational sciences was highlighted, and recommendations for further research were given.
