Due to the social distancing measures ordered as protection against mass infection during the 2020 COVID-19 outbreak, most Hungarian families were confined to home quarantine. Schools, kindergartens, and nursery schools were closed between 16 March and early June. Because grandparents belonged to one of the most vulnerable groups, families were asked not to involve them in childcare until the end of the pandemic in order to avoid their infection by younger family members. Companies switched to using the home office when possible, and the government asked the population not to leave their homes except for essential reasons. As a result, many parents worked from home and provided care for their children at the same time.

The Indonesian government, especially Jakarta, has taken various ways to prevent the transmission of the COVID-19 virus, one of which is through persuasive communication. The persuasive communication that is always carried out by the government is washing hands, wearing mask, and maintaining distance. This research will only discuss more about maintaining distance or social distancing. The persuasion of the social distancing movement is carried out by the government in various ways, one of which is through the mass media. Mass media is the official journalistic media, such as radio, newspapers, electronic news, and television. Through this persuasive communication, Jakarta government expects public compliance to jointly break the chain of transmission of COVID-19. Therefore, researchers want to see a picture of public compliance with the persuasive social distancing communication carried out by the government in the mass media during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research is a qualitative research using a case study method in West Jakarta, to be precise in Kalideres sub-district. Data were collected by means of interviews. The result of the research is that there are 2 sources who obey and 2 sources who do not comply with social distancing. The persuasion communication that the government has made through the mass media has reached expectations at a cognitive level. This is evidenced by the good knowledge of the informants about social distancing. However, the affective and behavioral aspects are still not maximally implemented because of the lack of clear sanctions for offenders of social distancing so that people tend to conform because of the ambiguous conditions they experience.Pemerintah Indonesia, khususnya Jakarta, melakukan berbagai cara untuk mencegah penularan virus COVID-19, salah satunya dengan melakukan komunikasi persuasif. Komunikasi persuasif yang selalu dilakukan oleh pemerintah adalah gerakan 3M, yaitu mencuci tangan, memakai masker, dan menjaga jarak. Penelitian ini hanya akan membahas lebih lanjut tentang gerakan menjaga jarak atau social distancing. Persuasi gerakan social distancingdilakukan pemerintah dengan berbagai macam cara, salah satunya melalui media massa. Media massa yang dimaksud adalah media jurnalistik resmi, seperti radio, koran, berita elektronik, dan televisi. Melalui komunikasi persuasif ini, tentunya pemerintah mengharapkan kepatuhan masyarakat untuk bersama-sama memutus rantai penularan COVID-19. Maka dari itu, peneliti ingin melihat gambaran kepatuhan masyarakat pada komunikasi persuasif social distancing yang dilakukan pemerintah di media massa saat pandemi COVID-19. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus yang dilakukan di daerah Jakarta Barat, tepatnya di kecamatan Kalideres. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan cara wawancara. Hasil dari penelitian adalah terdapat 2 narasumber yang patuh dan 2 narasumber yang tidak patuh terhadap social distancing. Komunikasi persuasi yang pemerintah lakukan melalui media massa sudah mencapai harapan pada tingkat kognitif. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan pengetahuan yang baik dari para narasumber tentang social distancing. Akan tetapi, aspek afektif dan behavioral masih belum terlaksana dengan maksimal karena kurangnya sanksi yang jelas bagi pelanggar social distancing sehingga masyarakat cenderung melakukan konformitas karena kondisi ambigu yang dialami.

Using Data

The rapid and widespread of COVID-19 has caused severe multifaceted effects on society but differently in women and men, thereby preventing the achievement of gender equality (the 5th sustainable development goal of the United Nations). This study, using data of 355 teleworkers collected in Hanoi (Vietnam) during the first social distancing period, aims at exploring how (dis)similar factors associated with the perception and the preference for more home-based telework (HBT) for male teleworkers versus female peers are. The findings show that 56% of female teleworkers compared to 45% of male counterparts had a positive perception of HBT within the social distancing period and 63% of women desired to telework more in comparison with 39% of men post-COVID-19. Work-related factors were associated with the male perception while family-related factors influenced the female perception. There is a difference in the effects of the same variables (age and children in the household) on the perception and the preference for HBT for females. For women, HBT would be considered a solution post-COVID-19 to solve the burden existing pre-COVID-19 and increasing in COVID-19. Considering gender inequality is necessary for the government and authorities to lessen the adverse effects of COVID-19 on the lives of citizens, especially female ones, in developing countries.

BACKGROUND The availability of large-scale and fine-grained aggregated mobility data has allowed researchers to observe the dynamic of social distancing behaviors at high spatial and temporal resolutions. Despite the increasing attentions paid to this research agenda, limited studies have focused on the demographic factors related to mobility and the dynamics of social distancing behaviors has not been fully investigated. OBJECTIVE This study aims to assist in the design and implementation of public health policies by exploring the social distancing behaviors among various demographic groups over time. METHODS We combined several data sources, including mobile tracking data and geographical statistics, to estimate visiting population of entertainment venues across demographic groups, which can be considered as the proxy of social distancing behaviors. Then, we employed time series analyze methods to investigate how voluntary and policy-induced social distancing behaviors shift over time across demographic groups. RESULTS Our findings demonstrate distinct patterns of social distancing behaviors and their dynamics across age groups. The population in the entertainment venues comprised mainly of individuals aged 20–40 years, while according to the dynamics of the mobility index and the policy-induced behavior, among the age groups, the extent of reduction of the frequency of visiting entertainment venues during the pandemic was generally the highest among younger individuals. Also, our results indicate the importance of implementing the social distancing policy promptly to limit the spread of the COVID-19 infection. However, it should be noticed that although the policy intervention during the second wave in Japan appeared to increase the awareness of the severity of the pandemic and concerns regarding COVID-19, its direct impact has been largely decreased could only last for a short time. CONCLUSIONS At the time we wrote this paper, in Japan, the number of daily confirmed cases was continuously increasing. Thus, this study provides a timely reference for decision makers about the current situation of policy-induced compliance behaviors. On the one hand, age-dependent disparity requires target mitigation strategies to increase the intention of elderly individuals to adopt mobility restriction behaviors. On the other hand, considering the decreasing impact of self-restriction recommendations, the government should employ policy interventions that limit the resurgence of cases, especially by imposing stronger, stricter social distancing interventions, as they are necessary to promote social distancing behaviors and mitigate the transmission of COVID-19.

The paper discusses the issues of social projects development to meet the citizens’ needs or to resolve certain social problems by changing the social situation. The reason for designing social projects is responding to the challenges with conflicting, multi-vector development trends or those to be adequately addressed. Social projects demonstrate their specifics. In this context, the principal expert in their assessment is not the government or the project contractor but the society. In modern realia, it is critical to build a strong social state which can not be achieved through the government’s policies alone, however the combined efforts and close cooperation between the community and the state contributes to the desired effect. evidence revealed that such partnerships have gained great significance, although it is argued that there is a need to clearly demarcate the roles of each of the parties. An appropriate information platform was created in Ukraine that optimizes the process of selecting the best projects and accessing the results after their testing. Social projects have a large variety of forms, dimensions, sources of funding and terms of execution. The issue of project feasibility remains paramount. The key criteria to evaluate the social project implementation expediency are the following: harmonization of project proposals, business goals and the overall government strategic development plan; identifying the significance of the project results for the government; specification of the social project capability to adapt for most regions of the country; social project effectiveness. Social projects have become an essential element within the social protection framework, since modern society have no more expectations as to the government assistance, but ultimately seek to search for their own tools to resolve social issues through developing social projects and programs, attracting investment, etc.

LAPAS or Correctional Institution under the auspices of the Directorate General of Corrections is the final place of the criminal justice system process that fosters and integrates the social of convicts, so that when returning to society they are able to live a normal life. Elderly (according to Law No. 13 of 1998: Elderly) is a person whose age reaches the age of 60 years and above. In its efforts, Correctional Services interpret this understanding by regulating the rights of inmates contained in Law no. 12 of 1995 article 14 paragraph 1.The increasing age and declining body condition of the elderly inmates need special treatment both in health, treatment, and public services. Elderly inmates as much as possible are treated as people usually are, it's just that the place and application are different. This is for the implementation of part of Human Rights (HAM) as a national instrument. This special handling effort involves other stakeholders be it medical or health workers and the government to support the infrastructure needed. The elderly as one of the vulnerable groups become important objects in terms of how decent handlers are so that they feel cared for in their twilight years. Although until now still in the process and stages of refinement of special handling for them. The fact is still not optimal and this study illustrates how well the effort is.

AbstractThis chapter draws on the author’s personal experience together with the findings from his qualitative research, to explore the cultural values driving problems of mental health and well-being among professional footballers. The study makes explicit the way in which players are expected to hide their experiences of being objectified—of being subject to gendered, racialised and other forms of dehumanisation—and denied a legitimate lived experience, an authentic heard voice. The chapter illustrates the importance in values-based practice of knowledge of values gained as in this instance by way of qualitative methods from the social sciences being used to fill out knowledge derived from individual personal experience.

Internationally Adopted Children

This book presents specific methods for the physical rehabilitation, mental health restoration, and academic remediation of post-institutionalized international adoptees. The focus of the book is on the neurological, psychological, and educational consequences of complex childhood trauma in the context of a fundamental change in the social situation of development of former orphanage residents. A discussion of after-adoption traumatic experiences includes a critique of certain “conventional” approaches to the treatment of mental health issues and different disabilities in international adoptees. Using his 30-year background in research and clinical practice, the author expertly describes and analyses a range of methodologies in order to provide an integrated and practical system of “scaffolding” and “compensation” for the successful rehabilitation and remediation of children with ongoing traumatic experiences. This is essential reading for researchers and practicing clinicians concerned with childhood trauma, remedial education, and issues of international adoption.
