<p>嘉義縣民雄鄉山中村1（舊稱牛斗山或牛稠山），因牛稠溪域流經村莊而得此名，早期是全鄉人口最大村。山中村宗教信仰普遍為民間信仰，村莊主廟為廣濟宮，以奉祀池府王爺、媽祖、鄭成功為主，但村莊發展及信仰主體係圍繞池府王爺。本文採用文獻分析、田野調查及立意取樣後進行深度訪談，以探討山中村祭祀圈之形成，以及村民如何理解不同神靈之內涵，進而有助於山中村之社區發展與文化資源保存。</p> <p>藉由祭祀圈概念切入，以理解山中村社區各神靈祭祀圈的範圍與分布，進而探討地方社區信仰中心發展，與山中村民對不同神靈認知及意義之解讀。經研究發現：（一）隨著人口增加及集居地擴大，主廟的祭祀圈變大；由於廟務活動增加，牛斗山土地公廟的祭祀圈擴大；五營中的東、西兩營，未隨著社區的新增而往外遷移，因此祭祀圈無明顯變化。（二）山中村神靈祭祀圈的分布，「五營」與居民輪祀居住的地理範圍有關，原具有分群概念的輪祀傳統逐漸模糊：老者對此模糊；中年人認知些許；青年則不明白為何奉祀，宗教信仰傳承出現斷層的可能。（三）山中村民對不同祭祀圈神靈解讀有所異同，普遍難闡述神靈的由來及背景，較理解者屬老年人；其次為中年人；青年人則對神靈認知不清楚。（四）不同祭祀圈神靈意義與山中村民早期生活環境較有其關聯性，老年人多數提及身體健康及平安；中年人求財運、事業；青年人求課業順利。據此，就結論提出建議以供參考。</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><p>Shanzhong Village (formerly known as Niudou Mountain or Niuhou Mountain) in Minxiong Township, Chiayi County, got its name because the Niuhou Stream passed through the village. In the early days, it was the village with the largest population in the township. For the Guangji Palace, it is mainly dedicated to the worship of Lord Chifu, Mazu and Zheng Chenggong (Cheng Ch&rsquo;eng-Kung), but the village development and belief system surrounds Lord Chifu. This paper uses literature analysis, field investigations, and intentional sampling to conduct in-depth interviews to discuss the formation of the mountain village sacrificial circle and how the villagers understand the connotation of different gods, which can help the community development and cultural resource preservation of the mountain village. </p> <p> Through research, the concept of the religious field was cut in to understand the scope and distribution of the religious fields of the various deities in the Shanzhong Village community, and to discuss the development of local community faith centers and the understanding and meaning interpretation of the different deities of the Shanzhong villagers. The research found: (1) The religious realms become bigger because the population of village was increased；on the other side, Shanshang Viallage&rsquo;s religious realms become wilder due to the increase of temple actives. However, for the &quot;five camps&quot;, the east and west side of the deities&rsquo;s emissary did not extend so the Religious Realms can not protect the new village, (2) The distribution of the spiritual field in the Shanzhong village, the &quot;&quot;five camps&quot;&quot; are more closely related to the geographical scope of the residents&rsquo; rotation worship. The tradition of rotation worship with the concept of grouping is gradually blurring, and the old people are blurring; Understand why there is a possibility that there is a fault in the inheritance of religious beliefs; (3) Villagers in the mountains have different interpretations of deities in different religious fields, and it is generally difficult to understand the origin and background of deities, older than those who understand; older than middle-aged; more young Unrecognizable to the gods; (4) The significance of the gods in different religious fields is more related to the early life environment of the villagers in the mountains. The elderly have significant health and safety; the middle-aged people seek wealth and career; the young people seek smooth schooling .Then refer to the above research results to make research suggestions.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>

Objective: This article aims to examine community long-term care (LTC) in Indonesia by drawing upon the five principles of human right provision: availability, accessibility, acceptability, quality, and universality. Method: We used a qualitative approach with exploratory multiple case studies in three different areas in East Java Province, Indonesia. This study gathered the initial evidence using a report card approach with self-report questionnaires. In-depth interviews and focus group discussions were carried out to understand factors that affect the efficacy of LTC services. Results: The Indonesia Government imposed a regulation that required each local community to make community health services available for the elderly. By managing the integrated post, the community provided LTC service for the elderly. Community leadership played a pivotal role to make LTC services available. Improving the services with religious activities was essential to improving the acceptability, but it also needed to take into consideration universality and nondiscrimination principles. Results show that LTC services are difficult to expand and quality standards are difficult to raise, due to challenges such as few community members volunteering their services, lack of support from religious leaders, limited resources, and inadequate volunteer training. Discussion: This study highlights the role of community engagement in LTC services and shows that it is difficult to succeed without adequate government support. Improving services with creative and culturally acceptable activities is necessary.

This analysis discusses implementing innovative technological support systems (ambient active assisted living technologies) in accordance with the German Social Code in the context of preventive home visits for very old people as a result of the problem of no-care zones after a stay in hospital. It discusses the logic of such a Dionysian, transgressive change of social reality, motivated, empowered and enabled by ideas, empathy, imagination and courage, from the critical perspective of its necessary cultural grammar and psychodynamic preconditions. The analysis is founded on metaphysics as the dynamic ontology of personalism. It is therefore guided by the inclusive idea of social capital in the context of caring community building and is shaped by the value-oriented ethics of the anthropology of relative autonomy and the right of the elderly to participate in the local community.

ABSTRACTThe understanding of palliative care practices at home (PCH) is limited by the lack of available scientific knowledge. This is explained by the fact that its practices are relatively recent and they question our relationship with death and dying individuals. This study aims to contribute to the advancement of knowledge about PCH with the elderly. More specifically, with a perspective of social exclusion, it aims to understand how practices either do or do not produce social exclusion with seniors receiving palliative care. Nineteen participants from two local community services centers were interviewed and six multidisciplinary meetings were attended for observation. This study suggests that positive representations concerning the elderly in palliative care and recognition of their autonomy can avoid social exclusion, including its symbolic and identificatory dimensions. However, standardization of practices seems to contribute to institutional exclusion and foster nonrecognition.

The Face

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is transforming the world we live in, revealing our health, economic, and social weaknesses. In the local economy, the loss of job opportunities, the uncertainty about the future of small and medium-sized companies and the difficulties of families to face the effects of this crisis, invite us to investigate the perception of the local community. Based on a questionnaire applied to 313 citizens and 51 companies, this study explored the perception of these actors on the effects of the pandemic at the local level and determined the main factors that influenced their assessment using a multinomial logistic regression model. The results indicated a systematic concern for issues of employment, job security, and household debt. The variables of age and sex were significant when analyzing the vulnerability of certain groups, especially women and the elderly, to face the effects of the crisis and their role as citizens. At the business level, the focus was on economic policies that support its operational continuity and management capacity to face a changing scenario.
