Two studies in Germany and Switzerland looked at the question whether designed natural areas such as parks and forests could have positive effects on the social integration of disabled people. According to the degree of disability, differences were made out. Adequate access and infrastructure as well as a supportive information concept are essential for integration.

According to statistic reports the number of disabled people in the world is still increasing. Nowadays it’s estimated that one for six citizens in European Union is disabled. New laws are established to improve the social attitude towards the sick and the disabled. The perception of people with disabilities is widely dominated by their limitations that often take priority. Completely different social attitudes concern artists. They are admired. The aim of the paper is to discuss the extent to which the disabled people can contribute to the culture and to reflect on the importance of art for the rehabilitation process as well as for the social integration of artists with disabilities. The conclusion that it implies is, that the art for ages well serves the integration and rehabilitation cause.

Zusammenfassung Viele Gemeinden verlieren durch Infrastrukturabbau ihre kommunikative Mitte. Gasthäuser, Einzelhandelsgeschäfte, Schulen, Verwaltungsgebäude, die als Orte sozialer Redundanz die Basis für den Aufbau persönlicher Beziehungen und damit von Unterstützungsnetzwerken bilden, verschwinden. Wird dies nicht durch neue, innovative, nachhaltig aufgestellte Angebote kompensiert – die aus dem Zusammenspiel von Kommunalverwaltung, Zivilgesellschaft sowie privater und kommunaler Unternehmen entstehen – ist die soziale Kohäsion gefährdet. Der Artikel stellt das BMBF-Projekt „Das Soziale-Orte-Konzept. Neue Infrastrukturen für gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt“ der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen und des SOFI e. V. Göttingen vor, sowie erste Ergebnisse (Projektlaufzeit 2017–2020) aus einer der Erhebungsregionen Waldeck-Frankenberg (Hessen). Abstract: You again? The Social-Places-Concept for More Social Redundancy and Cohesion Many communities are losing their communication centers due to infrastructure reduction. Pubs, retail shops, schools, administration buildings disappear, which as places of social redundancy form the basis for the establishment of personal relationships and thus of support networks. If this is not compensated by new, innovative, sustainable offers – arising from the cooperation of local government, civil society as well as private and municipal companies – social cohesion is endangered. This article presents the BMBF project “The Social-­Places-Concept. New infrastructure for social cohesion” from the Georg-August-University of Göttingen and SOFI e. V. Göttingen, such as initial results (project duration 2017–2020) from one of the survey regions Waldeck-Fran­kenberg (Hesse).

The objective of the work is to establish the characterization of the auditory disability and its relationship with resilience at the Technical University of Manabí. The article shows a conceptual analysis related to the inclusion and social integration of disabled students. Based on the fact that the person with disabilities grows and develops in the same way as that of people without disabilities and what usually happens is that disabled people are rejected and discriminated against based on a prefabricated and erroneous conceptualization of these people. The results associated with the application of the SV-RES test prepared by the researchers are shown (Saavedra & Villalta, 2008b). Characterization of the auditory deficit is made in the students, and the limitations that derive from it are pointed out. We analyze the particularities related to communication with students who have a hearing disability and resilience in this type of student, where some personal highlights that in this sense constitute an example of resilience. Finally, the results related to the study of the relationship between students' hearing disability and the level of resilience dimensions are shown.

It is easy to see that social robots will need the ability to detect and evaluate deceptive speech; otherwise they will be vulnerable to manipulation by malevolent humans. More surprisingly, we argue that effective social robots must also be able to produce deceptive speech. Many forms of technically deceptive speech perform a positive pro-social function, and the social integration of artificial agents will be possible only if they participate in this market of constructive deceit. We demonstrate that a crucial condition for detecting and producing deceptive speech is possession of a theory of mind. Furthermore, strategic reasoning about deception requires identifying a type of goal distinguished by its priority over the norms of conversation, which we call an ulterior motive. We argue that this goal is the appropriate target for ethical evaluation, not the veridicality of speech per se. Consequently, deception-capable robots are compatible with the most prominent programs to ensure that robots behave ethically.

This chapter examines the organizational socialization mechanisms in automotive plants in Russia and China. The empirical analysis starts with selection processes. How do the companies select candidates during recruitment and whom do they select? Are they looking for a certain type of employee? The chapter continues with the analysis of onboarding concepts in China and Russia and then follows the employees within their teams. It analyzes the social relationships in the team, which influence the socialization processes within the company. Finally, overarching company activities intended to promote social integration (team building, competitions) are examined to determine the extent to which they shape work behaviors and generate identification with the company. The analysis shows considerable differences between the Russian and the Chinese plants regarding the intensity and the effects of organizational socialization.

This chapter is an ethnographic case study of the social integration trajectories of youth living in two stigmatized and poor neighborhoods in Montevideo. It explains the linkages between residential segregation and social inclusion and exclusion patterns in unequal urban neighborhoods. Most empirical neighborhood research on the effects of residential segregation in contexts of high poverty and extreme stigmatization have focused on its negative effects. However, the real mechanisms and mediations influencing the so-called neighborhood effects of residential segregation are still not well understood. Scholars have yet to isolate specific neighborhood effects and their contribution to processes of social inclusion and exclusion. Focusing on the biographical experiences of youth in marginalized neighborhoods, this ethnography demonstrates the relevance of social mediations that modulate both positive and negative residential segregation effects.
