The article deals with the specifics of supervisory support for practical training of social workers in Poland. The international relevance of the research lies in the need to study the experience of implementing such support in the countries with relatively young democracies (post-Soviet republics). This experience can be useful for developing countries which strive to create their models of social supervision using the leading European experience. The article proves that supervisors, individually creating their professional roles in social care centers and non-governmental organizations, create the basis for a new professional environment - the environment of social work managers in Poland. According to the results of the research, the tendencies of supervisory support of the departments of social work on the practical training of social workers in Poland are traced: compliance with the pan-European orientation to the early special training of all social specialists; bilateral connection between the development of the scientific school of social work and the system of professional training; training of a social worker in church educational institutions; decentralization of vocational training management; rapid response of the system to changes in the social nature, the demands of the regional labor market. The article reveals the disadvantages of the Polish model of supervisory support, which has not yet adjusted to the final Western European trends and is on the path to development.

This review was prepared as a background document for the Consultation on Sustainable Indicators for Capture Fisheries held in Sydney, Australia, 18–22 January 1998. It aims to facilitate the development and implementation of indicators and to serve as a basis for the development of part of the series of Technical Guidelines in Support of the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries. The paper reviews the concept of sustainable development (‘sustainability’). Five sustainability frameworks are suggested for developing and grouping indicators. A discussion of the criteria that could be used to measure and monitor progress towards sustainability includes the types of possible indicators, their use within the sustainability concept, use of reference points on which to compare indicators and their relation to planning and management. Sustainable Development Reference Systems are introduced as a tool for grouping indicators and representing the interrelationships among them. Visual methods of portraying the human and environmental dimensions of sustainability and their indicators can be broadened to permit temporal and spatial comparisons. These, combined with systems to scale the different dimensions to reflect different societal values of their importance, can assist policy makers, fisheries managers, industries, non-governmental organizations and the general public in understanding and assessing progress towards sustainable development of capture fisheries.

The purpose of the study is to characterize the content and possibility of using bilingual case technologies in future social workers training. To achieve this goal, methods of theoretical analysis of the scientific literature on the content, objectives, structure of case technologies; pedagogical design of a bilingual case; classification of case-types depending on the educational purpose are used. The article describes various aspects of the problem of design and implementation of case technologies social workers’ professional training. The history of the origin of cases as a learning tool is clarified. The interconnection of case studies with other methods of teaching and professional training is substantiated. The leading tasks of the case method (motivational, cognitive, communicative, and reflexive) are determined. A conclusion about the specifics of the characteristics of the language case, the problematic nature of the situation, the implicitness of the case problem, the appropriate amount of information, personalization, and professional orientation are formulated. The field structure of the case (informational, essential and technological areas) is analyzed. Features of bilingual cases and cases for future social workers’ bilingual training are outlined. Examples of different types of cases are given: cases - episodes without ending, case-essays, cases-chronicles and diaries, as well as cases for bilingual learning - motivational, cognitive, communicative and reflective ones. The author's development of a case for social workers’ bilingual training is presented and proposals for the implementation of several other cases of different types are given.

Education Needs

Organisms like CEPARL, UNESCO, and PNUD have long forecast development and consumerism are imminently destroying the environment, the earth, and life itself, and education needs to prepare humans to create another model of life. This development should be based in solutions and alternatives that look for an equilibrium between social equality and economic development, and a respect for the environmental limitations of the ecosystems that compose the biosphere. It is important to study everything that a sustainable development would propose in the classroom as in any other space available, starting with the agreements of the program of the millenium of the PNUD to achieve an inclusive and quality education. Education is one of the most powerful motors and guarantees of sustainable development, at the intersection of social, economic, and environmental problems. Compromise is necessary from the states through educational entities in each country to non-governmental organizations and civil society.

Using the 2008 Zaragoza International Exhibition “Water and sustainable development” as a case study, this paper aims to respond to the increasing demand for measurements of the effects and the implications of the performance of cross-sector partnerships from the perspective of their intended final beneficiaries. A contingency framework for measuring the short-, medium- and long-term effects of the 2008 Zaragoza International Exhibition is developed based on a “results chain” or “logic model”. Our results highlight that there are positive long-term synergies between the two main purposes of the 2008 Zaragoza International Exhibition; first, to increase public awareness of and commitment to the problems of water and sustainable development and, second, to make the city of Zaragoza better known internationally and to modernize its infrastructures. Although respondents to our survey consider that the long-term effects on the city are greater, the main short- and medium-term effects are related to awareness of water problems, sustainable development and non-governmental organizations. These results are in tune with what has happened around the city in the last 10 years providing indirect validity both to our study and to the proposed methodology.

Suboptimal Breastfeeding

Abstract Objectives Suboptimal breastfeeding practices have been reported among vulnerable populations including those living in post-emergency refugee settlements. This study investigated the barriers and facilitators of breastfeeding in post-emergency settlements in Adjumani district, in the West Nile region in Uganda. Methods Participants included mothers and fathers of children less than 23 months of age who lived in post-emergency refugee settlements of Agojo, Ayilo, and Nyumanzi. Participants formed a total of five focus group discussions (FGDs); four FGDs for mothers and two FGDs for fathers. The FGDs were conducted in native languages, Dinka and Madi, and were audio-recorded. Data were transcribed verbatim and back-translated into English. Thematic analysis was used and data were analyzed using NVivo v. 12. Results The mean age (years) for mothers was 27.1 and 39.7 for fathers. Over half (61.9%) of mothers and many fathers (74.9%) received some formal education. Over a quarter (28.5%) of mothers attended less than 4 antenatal visits during their last pregnancy. Facilitators of breastfeeding included knowledge of breastfeeding benefits, support from husband/father, support from the community, and support from non-governmental organizations. Mothers and fathers reported that breastfeeding protected children from diseases and breasted children grow well. Four themes were identified as barriers of breastfeeding: physical, socioeconomic, knowledge, and psychosocial barriers. Mothers and fathers reported physical barriers such as mothers stop breastfeeding when they are sick or they feel they are not producing enough breastmilk. Mothers described socioeconomic barriers including working outside the home and educated mothers chose to use other milk. Fathers reported psychosocial barriers such as mothers’ fear of pain during breastfeeding and maternal mental health issues. Conclusions Policies and interventions that aim to improve breastfeeding in post-emergency settlements should consider addressing the barriers to breastfeeding at each level: physical, socioeconomic, knowledge, and psychosocial. Involving and encouraging support from husbands/fathers, relatives, and the community may increase adherence to breastfeeding recommendations. Funding Sources Thoma Chair, Oklahoma State University.
