At this stage of Ukraine's development there is a need for stabilization and sustainable development of Ukrainian society, which requires solving the problem of improving personnel policy. One of the main causes of negative phenomena in society is the imperfection of personnel policy in the field of education, increasing bureaucratization, improper performance of the state function of social protection. Despite the fact that a lot of time has passed since the beginning of social transformations in our country, the study of the problem of the effectiveness of state personnel policy by the social and political sciences is insufficient. Changes in the socio-political system raise the question of whether the civil service is becoming an instrument of professional management activities aimed at meeting the new social needs of society. Under these conditions, there is a need for a new personnel policy of selection and formation of a qualitatively new personality of the education worker.

The problematic addressed in this article is the challenge initiated by the Arab revolutions to reform the Arab political system in such a way as to facilitate the incorporation of ‘democracy’ at the core of its structure. Given the profound repercussions, this issue has become the most serious matter facing the forces of change in the Arab world today; meanwhile, it forms the most prominent challenge and the most difficult test confronting Islamists. The Islamist phenomenon is not an alien implant that descended upon us from another planet beyond the social context or manifestations of history. Thus it cannot but be an expression of political, cultural, and social needs and crises. Over the years this phenomenon has presented, through its discourse, an ideological logic that falls within the context of ‘advocacy’; however, today Islamists find themselves in office, and in a new context that requires them to produce a new type of discourse that pertains to the context of a ‘state’. Political participation ‘tames’ ideology and pushes political actors to rationalize their discourse in the face of daily political realities and the necessity of achievement. The logic of advocacy differs from that of the state: in the case of advocacy, ideology represents an enriching asset, whereas in the case of the state, it constitutes a heavy burden. This is one reason why so much discourse exists within religious jurisprudence related to interest or necessity or balancing outcomes. This article forms an epilogue to the series of articles on religion and the state published in previous issues of this journal. It adopts the methodologies of ‘discourse analysis’ and ‘case studies’ in an attempt to examine the arguments presented by Islamists under pressure from the opposition. It analyses the experiences, and the constraints, that inhibit the production of a ‘model’, and monitors the development of the discourse, its structure, and transformations between advocacy, revolution and the state.

The article analyses the main sources of financial provision for the social protection of persons with disabilities in Ukraine, including their own resources, budget resources at all levels and resources of enterprises of all forms of ownership; social trust funds, funds of charitable and social organizations and other sources. It is justified that socially oriented objects of expenditure are growing and account for a significant share in the structure of expenditure of the state budget. An analysis of the expenditure of local budgets on the social protection of persons with disabilities showed that expenditure in this area has been increasing since 2015, owing to the reform of decentralization. An evaluation of the activities of civil society organizations of persons with disabilities showed a decrease in the number of persons with disabilities who are employed and in the proportion of expenditures allocated to the social needs of persons with disabilities. Measures to improve the social protection and welfare of persons with disabilities in Ukraine are also financed from social welfare funds. Analysis of the provision of medical and social services by the Social Insurance Fund of Ukraine shows an increase in the number of persons with disabilities as a result of an industrial accident and an increase in the cost of medical and social services. It has been established that financial provision for the social protection of persons with disabilities from charitable organizations is provided in most cases in the form of targeted charitable assistance. The structure of the recipients of charitable assistance by category showed that the proportion of people with special needs among the recipients of charitable assistance was about 10 per cent. On the basis of the study, a number of problems affecting the well-being of persons with disabilities have been identified. Priorities have been set for the development of financial provision for the social protection of persons with disabilities. These include improving the targeting of social assistance, development of locally funded social protection programs, enhancing the social and labour integration of persons with disabilities, gender mainstreaming in the financial provision of social protection for persons with disabilities.

This article draws a conceptual map of the mechanisms, dynamics and consequences of transnational social protection (TSP) for low-skilled labour migrants and their family members. While migrants’ social needs have also a transnational side, the responses of welfare institutions, if available at all, are typically territorialised. This brings to the fore the prospects for TSP of those affected by migration – most notably, here, migrants’ dear ones in home societies. TSP can be analysed as a field of evolving interactions between a formal, thinner dimension and a more substantive, informal one. The latter builds on the circulation of remittances and transnational care practices, primarily within migrants’ kinship networks. Informal TSP is then discussed as a privileged terrain to assess, first, the promises and pitfalls of migration as social protection and, second, the social consequences of emigration on welfare arrangements in home communities. An analytical framework is eventually advanced, with a view to systematising research on migration-driven transnational needs, on the ways of addressing them, on the dilemmas of informal social protection across state borders.

Introduction. Accelerated pace of development of society contributes to the accelerated generation of social risks, modern society is characterized by constant technological, natural, economic, environmental, socio-cultural changes. Therefore, minimizing social risks and leveling their consequences is of paramount importance. Methods. Diagnosis of the state of the social risk management system combined the principles of systemic, structural-functional and targeted analysis, which provided a comprehensive assessment of the whole and individual components. Results. The analysis of expenditures on the social sphere showed their stable absolute growth despite the dynamic reduction of their share in the budget. Social risks are largely due to the non-transparency of the mechanism for regulating the supply and demand of labor in the domestic labor market. A significant share of macroeconomic social risks is related to the problems of social infrastructure, which is financed from the budget. Problems with access to health care, the opacity of the pharmaceutical market, the degradation of the health care network, chronic underfunding, and the lack of health insurance also generate social risks. The task of state policy should be to prevent and prevent social risks, identify social conflicts that lead to destructive consequences. Systematization of social risks allows to methodologically substantiate the mechanisms of social risk management, to modernize the models of social protection of the population, to develop effective tools for ensuring public management of social risks. Discussion. The impossibility of reducing funding for social needs without deteriorating the quality of life and social protection of the population requires further search for alternative sources of funding for socio-cultural expenditures, rationalization in the budget structure to effectively combat the development of social risks. Keywords: social policy, social risks, social transfers, household expenditures, labor market, health care.

<p>O referido estudo apresenta o Sistema Único de Assistência (SUAS) enquanto espaço socioocupacional no Serviço Social Brasileiro, bem como trajetória da Política de Assistência Social e da profissão de Serviço Social, associando o atual cenário no que diz respeito ao SUAS, à profissão e à relação entre ambos. Destacamos aqui que todo o direito é tido como social e a Constituição Federal formalizou a Assistência Social como um direito do Cidadão, uma política que surge para resgatar a cidadania, com o objetivo de emancipa-lo e inseri-lo em um ambiente digno de vida, de oportunidades e de mudanças, através de programas, projetos e ações sociais que venham a impactar positivamente na vida desse sujeito de direitos. Utilizou-se como referência para a pesquisa a legislação brasileira, livros, artigos e periódicos referentes à Política Pública de Assistência Social e ao Serviço Social. O SUAS foi inspirado no modelo do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), com atendimento e organização dos serviços em bases regionais (abrangências municipal, estadual ou regional), tem como objetivo garantir o direito à assistência social e proteção das famílias e indivíduos em situação de risco e vulnerabilidade social, descentralizado e participativo, que tem por função a gestão do conteúdo específico da Assistência Social no campo da proteção social brasileira. Consolida o modo de gestão compartilhada, o cofinanciamento e a cooperação técnica entre os três entes federativos que, de modo articulado e complementar, operam a proteção social não contributiva de seguridade social no campo da assistência social. A intervenção profissional na política de Assistência Social não pode ter como horizonte somente a execução das atividades arroladas nos documentos institucionais, sob o risco de limitar suas atividades à “gestão da pobreza” sob a ótica da individualização das situações sociais e de abordar a questão social a partir de um viés moralizante. Isso significa que a complexificação e diferenciação das necessidades sociais, conforme apontada no SUAS e na PNAS, e que atribui à Assistência Social as funções de proteção básica e especial, com foco de atuação na “matricialidade sóciofamíliar”, não deve restringir a intervenção profissional, sobretudo a do/a assistente social, às abordagens que tratam as necessidades sociais como problemas e responsabilidades individuais e grupais.</p><p><strong>Palavras chave:</strong> Assistência Social. Sistema Único de Assistência Social. Serviço Social.</p><p> </p><p align="center"><strong>ABSTRAT</strong></p><p>This study presents the Unique System of Assistance (SUAS) as a socio-occupational space in the Brazilian Social Service, as well as a trajectory of the Social Assistance Policy and the Social Service profession, associating the current scenario with regard to the Unified Social Assistance System, the profession and the relationship between them. We emphasize here that all right is considered as Social and the Federal Constitution formalized Social Assistance as a right of the Citizen, a policy that arises to rescue citizenship, with the aim of emancipating it and inserting it into a living environment worthy of life, opportunities and changes, through programs, projects and social actions that will positively impact the life of this subject of rights. The Brazilian legislation, books, articles and periodicals related to the public policy of social assistance and Social Work were used as reference for research. SUAS was inspired by the Unified Health System (SUS) model, with service and organization of services on a regional basis (municipal, state or regional coverage), with the objective of guaranteeing the right to social assistance and protection of families and individuals in situations risk and social vulnerability, decentralized and participatory, whose function is the management of the specific content of Social Assistance in the field of Brazilian social protection. It consolidates the mode of shared management, co-financing and technical cooperation between the three federative entities that, in an articulated and complementary way, operate the non-contributory social protection of social security in the field of social assistance. The professional intervention in the Social Assistance policy can not only have as a horizon the execution of the activities listed in the institutional documents, under the risk of limiting its activities to the "management of poverty" from the point of view of individualization of social situations and of addressing the social question from a moralizing bias. This means that the complexity and differentiation of social needs, as pointed out in SUAS and PNAS, and which assigns to Social Assistance the functions of basic and special protection, with a focus on "family-based matricity", should not restrict professional intervention, especially the social worker, to the approaches that address social needs as individual and group problems and responsibilities.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Social Assistance.

The article considers the importance of implementing life insurance programmes both to meet the social needs of policyholders and for the economic development of the country. The main trends and issues of the balance of money incomes and expenditures of the population are singled out. The main problematic aspects of personal financial management are highlighted. The importance of the in-depth study of the peculiarities of the formation of the life insurance market as a means of managing personal finances in a pandemic is substantiated. The economic content of life insurance and the peculiarities of this type of insurance in the conditions of the pandemic are highlighted. There are studied the main definitions of the concept of “life insurance”, in particular as a type of personal insurance, as a sub-branch of insurance, in Ukrainian legislation and the works of leading Ukrainian and foreign scientists. The conclusion on the essence of the concept of “life insurance” is made. The emphasis is placed on the special relevance of the pandemic impact on the insurance market. The article proposes to identify the main and additional life risks. There is justified the importance of mixed life insurance in connection with the gradual deterioration of the demographic situation, the reduction of the working population and the increase in the number of retirees. The main problems and factors hindering the development of this area of insurance are analysed. The state of the life insurance market of economically developed countries of the world is determined. The analysis of the European countries revealed the main factors that affect the size of insurance premiums. The influence of population dynamics and structure, level of financial literacy, level of trust in public bodies and private insurance companies, level of social protection, personal financial consulting and other factors on the formation of the life insurance market is also analysed. It is determined that more detailed insurance services by categories of clients are needed to ensure their specialization according to the needs of each market segment. For the full functioning of life insurance in Ukraine, the necessary measures are proposed, the implementation of which, on the one hand, will give impetus to the development of both the stock market and the economy and on the other hand, increase the social security of citizens.

The article is devoted to the problem of social work with the elderly, which requires the study and determination of the features of such work for various modern social services. The relevance of the topic of the article is due to the growing number of clients of social services among the elderly. Previous studies of the social needs of this category of the population predict worsening a number of problems due to the shortcomings of state social security. The solution to the problem, according to the authors of the article, is related to the activities of non-governmental organizations that can provide social services to the elderly. In particular, the article describes the experience of a charitable foundation that operates according to an atypical scheme of aid organization. Not through the provision of funds, but primarily through the implementation of their own projects with the support of other social services of various forms. The article discusses how the needs and characteristics of the elderly can be taken into account in practical social work with clients. The authors rely on the materials of their own research, which was conducted by case study from April to October 2019 on the experience of the Kharkiv Charitable Foundation «Social service of assistance». The article states that the main directions of social protection of the elderly in modern conditions should be not only to improve their difficult financial situation, provide a sufficient level of medical care but also to improve the psychological and emotional state of people. The results obtained by researchers can contribute to the dissemination of successful experience of social work with the elderly; scientific analysis of problematic issues and obstacles in the activities of the charity fund with the elderly; optimization of further work of funds and other social services in this direction. In addition, according to the authors, the hypothesis of indifferent attitude of society to the problems of the elderly needs to be studied scientifically, because this factor significantly hinders the implementation of social assistance to this group of clients by various social services, including charitable foundations.

Since 2014, Ukraine experiences armed conflict on the territory of its eastern part. The Ukrainian government had announced the anti-terrorist operation (ATO) to combat the separatists. This paper reports on research exploring the social needs of ex-combatants in Ukraine and pathways for social reintegration available to them. The research data reached theoretical saturation by interviewing ten ex-combatants and 11 representatives of different services (social workers, psychologists, psychotherapists, priests etc.). Additionally, field notes and grey literature were also considered for the analysis. To triangle, the data received from an interview the analysis of national legal acts on social protection of ex-combatants were analysed. The following emerging themes came from the study: 1) expectations vs ambivalent attitudes and needs; 2) needs in social workers vs lack of social services. First, the study demonstrates that the primary need of the ATO (OOS) participant after returning home is social and psychological support. ATO participants say they have high expectations for the family and society, not from the state. However, some of the ex-combatants face ambivalent and hostile attitudes. Conducted interviews reveal that social support to ATO veterans is reduced mainly to material benefits: privileges, subsidies, cash payments, etc. There is still no single model of social support for ATO participants that is legally defined. In addition, there is no prescribed standardised mechanism for providing social services to combatants. The Ukrainian legislation includes several acts related to providing various benefits and guarantees of social protection for veterans. However, the ex-combatants stated that they filled unprotected. Opportunities for employment, education and good quality of life overall without the support promised by the legislation was rather tricky. Data suggest that transition to civilian life for ex-combatants is undermined by inadequate procedures, lack of support, and complicated administrative demands. Based on the study findings, the recommendations to amend the state program of physical, medical, psychological rehabilitation and re-adaptation of ATO participants were proposed. The changes to the program might include the introduction of social and psychological support to be provided by all centres and services for ATO veterans. Furthermore, social participation and inclusion of ex-combatants concerning the DDR (Disarmament –Demobilisation and Reintegration) concept and resilience-based approach should be a core idea of social work approach instead of paternalistic social welfare approaches inherited by Ukraine from the Soviet model of social assistance. The findings indicate pitfalls in the protective framework of war veterans. Currently, the available social support comes down to material benefits: benefits, subsidies, cash payments and more. Respondents point out the need to develop comprehensive social work interventions for combatants. This paper concludes that more needs to be done to enhance the social services for the new group of social work clients, including services that could enable ex-combatants to develop the skills they need to reintegrate within their community.

This symposium was sponsored jointly by the Society for the History of Technology (S.H.O.T.) and by the anthropology section of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (A.A.A.S.), arising from their annual meetings in Dallas, Texas, in December 1968. The session was clearly exploratory, in that the participants recognised the need for a systematic and integrative study of technology in African history, especially of its importance in defining cultural systems, in role differentiation and the division of labour between men and women in African communities, its interaction with the social and political system of a people—as demonstrated, for example, by irrigation systems—and its interrelationship with social needs and rituals in the evolution of music in Africa.
