Abstract Background Homelessness is one of the most severe forms of social exclusion and is an important public health issue. It is characterized by processes of weakening of interpersonal bonds. The objective of this study was, therefore, to elucidate how interpersonal relationships change over the life cycle of homeless drug and alcohol users. Method We used a qualitative methodology. The participants were adults who had a history of homelessness and use of alcohol and other drugs. The interviews were semi structured and used a timeline instrument. All interview were audio recorded, transcribed, and submitted to thematic analysis. Results Twenty individuals participated in the study. Reports on social exclusion over time stood out in respect of four main themes and their respective subthemes: Theme 1 – Childhood: instability upbringing, abuse, violence, and an absent or not very present father figure; Theme 2 – Adolescence: school dropout and failure; acceptance of gender and sexual orientation; birth of first child, living with a partner or getting married: Theme 3 – Adulthood: estrangement or conflicting relationship with family; health problems; drug trafficking and prostitution; Theme 4 – Cross-cutting factors: death of relatives and substance use. Conclusion The results suggest that interpersonal relationships are permeated by successive breakups, conflicts and other events that start in childhood and can have a cumulative effect in later stages of life, and cross the subsequent phases. Substance abuse and dependence are mentioned as cross-cutting factors that intensify social exclusion in all stages of life.

Abstract Background: Homelessness is one of the most severe forms of social exclusion. It is characterized by processes of weakening of interpersonal bonds, being considered an important public health issue. The objective of this study is to elucidate how the interpersonal relationships changed over the life cycle of homeless drug and alcohol users. Method: We used the qualitative methodology. The participants were adults who had a history of homelessness and use of alcohol and other drugs at some point. The interviews were semi structured and used the timeline instrument. All of them were fully recorded, transcribed, and submitted to Thematic Analysis.Results: Twenty individuals participated in the study. Reports on social exclusion over time stood out in four large themes and their respective subthemes. Theme 1 – Childhood: participants reported instability in their upbringing, abuse, and violence, and regarded their father figure as not very present or absent. Theme 2 – Adolescence: school dropout and failure; acceptance of gender and sexual orientation; birth of first child, living together or getting married prevailed. Theme 3 – Adulthood: estrangement or conflicting relationship with family; health problems; drug trafficking and prostitution. Theme 4 – Cross-cutting factors: death of relatives and substance use. Conclusion: The results suggest that these interpersonal relationships are permeated by successive breakups, conflicts and other events that pile up over time, may start in childhood and cross the subsequent phases. Substance abuse and dependence are mentioned as cross-cutting factors that intensify social exclusion in all the phases of the life cycle.

This article reports the experiences of 109 homeless people aged seventeen to twenty-five years in England who were resettled into independent accommodation during 2007/08. It focuses on housing, finances, employment and access to support services. After fifteen/eighteen months, 69 per cent of the young people were still in their original accommodation, 13 per cent had moved to another tenancy and 18 per cent no longer had a tenancy. Most were glad to have been resettled but found the transition very challenging, particularly with regard to managing finances and finding stable employment. The prevalence of debts increased substantially over time, and those who moved to private-rented accommodation had the poorest outcomes. People who had been in temporary accommodation more than twelve months prior to resettlement were more likely to retain a tenancy, while a history of illegal drug use and recent rough sleeping were associated negatively with tenancy sustainment.

SActivism in the Arab world have been represented in hiding. One of the most important forms has been political cartoons which have been an important tool that has been consolidated over time be-cause cartoonists were able to become activists thanks to the use of symbols. However, the devel-opment of cyberspace translated cartoons into the network, by making them even more important as they transmitted ideas in a more direct way and developed a form of virtual activism. Therefore, the aim of this research is to study and analyze the history of the Arab political cartoons to see how it has consolidated in a form of revolutionary activism. Additionally, the attempt to this research is to reflect how a virtual community has been generated around that figure. As a result, a qualitative methodology has been used to carry out this research. A historical method has been used to collect information about the history of cartoons in the Arab world. Then, an ethnographic visual method has been developed to study the use of cartoons used. The results and discussion are to demonstrate that the cartoon is a form of revolution and activism which has strengthened itself with the use of the internet.

El presente artículo es resultado de una revisión bibliográfica en conjunto con una reflexión por parte de los que escribimos el mismo. Tiene como objetivo explicar por qué es importante el Trabajo Social Comunitario. Para esta explicación, nos hemos fundamentado en un fenómeno social que es la exclusión social. Durante la realización del presente, se observa perfectamente que todo está relacionado y que desde la disciplina del Trabajo Social se puede trabajar para la mejora de los problemas que van surgiendo. Pero debemos tener cuidado también con esto último. La sociedad cambian, surgen dificultades y problemáticas sociales nuevas, y es tarea del Trabajo Social y de los trabajadores sociales el ir evolucionando para poderles hacer frente. En cambio, encontramos varias problemáticas sociales que a pesar de los años, las intervenciones, las perspectivas de análisis y de intervención; perduran a lo largo del tiempo. El mejor ejemplo de esto, es la exclusión social. Atendiendo a una visión naturalista podríamos decir que “siempre ha habido ricos y pobres”, pero no nos cuestionamos sobre la procedencia de que siempre haya ricos y pobres. Estudiamos la historia de la exclusión social, analizamos la situación de la población y acudimos al trabajo social para ver cómo se puede responder a esto This article is the result of a literature review in conjunction with a reflection on the hand that you write the same.It is intended to explain why it is important to Community Social work. For this explanation, we have informed us in a social phenomenon that is social exclusion. During the realization of the present, is seen perfectly that everything is related and that from the discipline of Social work you can work for the improvement of the problems that arise. But we must be careful also with this last. Society change, emerging new social problems, and difficulties, and task of Social work and social workers go to evolve tomake them front. On the other hand, found several social problems that despite age, interventions, the prospects of analysis and intervention they endure over time. The best example of this is social exclusion. Attending a naturalistic view we could say that "there havealways been rich and poor",but we do not question about the provenance of that there is always rich and poor. We studied the history of social exclusion, we analyzed thesituation of the population and went to social work to seehow it can respond to this.

Abstract Introduction: The CVA is the second cause of death in Brazil, presenting with serious clinical repercussions and as a public health issue. Live with the disabilities caused by it requires facing daily situations, which can increase the disability, such as the ones imposed by the environment inside or outside home. Objective: Analyze the environmental factors of ICF with a facilitator or barrier for victims of Stroke. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study, 152 individuals; span of less than 60 months involvement and enrolled in the Family Health Units in João Pessoa, Brazil. A questionnaire was used to characterize the socio-economic and clinical form and the Core Set for stroke to identify environmental factors. The data were stored in EpiInfo 7. Associations between environmental factors and the variables age, gender, and marital status verified by chi-square test. Results: Assistive technologies and products or substances for personal consumption were the main factors recognized as facilitators, followed by interpersonal relationships. The most prevalent factors as barriers were the physical structures of public and private spaces, highlighting the physical geography of their residence. It was found that the immediate family was associated with variable marital status, use of products and technology for personal use in daily life was associated with age and, friends partnered with variable gender. Conclusions: The Core Set is shown as a sensitive instrument to capture the barriers and facilitators in population surveys. Their findings point to the need to think about public policy more appropriate for this population.{#}

Abstract In our paper we will talk about the whole process of standardization of the Albanian language, where it has gone through a long historical route, for almost a century.When talking about standard Albanian language history and according to Albanian language literature, it is often thought that the Albanian language was standardized in the Albanian Language Orthography Congress, held in Tirana in 1972, or after the publication of the Orthographic Rules (which was a project at that time) of 1967 and the decisions of the Linguistic Conference, a conference of great importance that took place in Pristina, in 1968. All of these have influenced chronologically during a very difficult historical journey, until the standardization of the Albanian language.Considering a slightly wider and more complex view than what is often presented in Albanian language literature, we will try to describe the path (history) of the standard Albanian formation under the influence of many historical, political, social and cultural factors that are known in the history of the Albanian people. These factors have contributed to the formation of a common state, which would have, over time, a common standard language.It is fair to think that "all activity in the development of writing and the Albanian language, in the field of standardization and linguistic planning, should be seen as a single unit of Albanian culture, of course with frequent manifestations of specific polycentric organization, either because of divisions within the cultural body itself, or because of the external imposition"(Rexhep Ismajli," In Language and for Language ", Dukagjini, Peja, 1998, pp. 15-18.)

Historical Truth

Guatemala experienced a cruel genocide in the early eighties, in the context of a repressive Conflict. Due to the different governments´ repressive policies, this terrible social situation was little known abroad, and even in the own country. Just after the Peace Accords, several organisms worked to uncover the historical truth. In any case, we cannot forget that testimonial literature is a privileged mean to know this dark period of the contemporary history of Guatemala. This genre is particularly relevant, because the main writers are originally Mayans, and have directly suffered both repression and social exclusion due to ethnic reasons. Rigoberta Menchú, Unmberto Ak´abal and Víctor Montejo represent a new and original point of view in the measure in which they describe feelings and situations from the perspective of those who experience them personally. Testimonial literature or the Testimonio becomes an ethnographic document that allows us to know not just a period but a people who have suffered from repression and exclusion for centuries.
