The research work that is presented, aims to carry out an analysis of the living conditions that prevail in the population, of four marginalized rural communities located in the banks of the Rio Grande de Santiago, in the State of Nayarit. In addition to analyzing the implications of social policy to reduce poverty and marginalization, phenomena closely related to social deprivation. Each approach and methodology used for its analysis, have shed light on the different studies on social deprivation that lead individuals or groups to suffer this situation. In the study that is presented, it is observed, that the construction of the PHA and the social programs implemented by the government at its different levels, have not been sufficient to solve the problems of extreme poverty in which the population of marginalized rural localities is found. In the same way, it is concluded that it is necessary to advance towards the articulation of concepts and ways of measuring poverty and marginalization, as well as, on the ways of evaluating, social policies, with the understanding that the interventions of the three orders of government, will be more effective as long as they achieve a multidimensional approach that prioritizes the human being.

Despite the amount of textual material surviving from classical Greece, our knowledge of the household has remained limited because of the selectivity and orientation of those texts. In this paper, archaeological remains of late 5th- to late 4th-cent. houses are explored in order to shed light on aspects of domestic relations that recur most frequently in the sources: the relationship between male and female household members, and the way in which this was reinforced through the organization of the domestic environment. The traditional picture of a house divided into male and female areas is an over-simplification of a complex pattern of social relationships. A broader approach focuses on interaction between men and women, rather than on women's activity in isolation. The resultant, more detailed model for gender relations offers a glimpse of variability through space and time in how relationships were expressed spatially, and suggests the possibility of differences in the relationships themselves at different levels of the social hierarchy.

The process of growth of corporations and groups of companies has slowed down in Russia since 2008-2009 but has not stopped. Nowadays, a group of companies is usually a poly-industry organization with the presence of none-core companies and companies of the social bloc that is often the result of a trade-off of large business and the government. The task of bringing out the groups of companies of the social bloc into the break-even zone in Russia became acute after 2014 due to a reduction in reserves of profitability growth in the main profitable blocs. It is very difficult for the management of the group of companies to differentiate external risks, some complex system and accidental internal factors of activity of a relatively large number of economic entities and not to lose control of the group as a whole. In the authors' opinion, the development of a methodology for informational support of policy decisions regarding the architecture of a group of companies can be based on well-known concepts (the concept of strategic management) and approaches (systematic and process approaches). Then, the management of the group of companies is presented in the form of a list of competencies with assigned managerial functions of information support of different levels developed by the authors and presented in the paper.

This study aims to describe the villages in Barito Kuala Regency based on the Building Village Index (IDM) and find out the direction of policies related to disadvantaged villages in Barito Kuala Regency. This study uses Mix Methodes approach, with the type of research being explanatory sequential. Based on data from the Build Village Index Recapitulation from the Barito Kuala Regency Community and Village Empowerment Office in 2017, it shows that the percentage of underdeveloped villages in Barito Kuala Regency reaches 64% or reaches 126 villages, so it must be a big concern for the local government. Determining the status of the village uses the Building Village Index by the Ministry of Village as a measure consisting of 3 aspects, namely the Social Resilience Index (IKS), the Economic Resilience Index (IKE) and the Environmental Resilience Index (IKL). In reducing the number of underdeveloped villages in Barito Kuala Regency, the government must pay attention to these three aspects to take a policy that can reduce the number of underdeveloped villages. The results showed that the Economic Resilience village was the index with the lowest value, followed by the Environmental Resilience Index and the Social Resilience Index. Based on this, the local government plan two policies, namely the first priority for village fund use which includes two things, namely increasing the economic activities of rural communities and improving the quality of life of rural communities, and the second through Integrated Village Surgery programs.

State Responses

Between 2005 and 2010, Mauritania and Guadeloupe faced massive social mobilizations against the high cost of living. The widespread use of illegal practices was blamed for the unjust pricing of some of the most important consumer goods. While state responses to illegality had limited success, the interfaces between legality and illegality in markets appeared to shape social and political relations. In Guadeloupe, a wave of audits responded to the social demands for transparency and the unveiling of illegal practices. But illegalities remained largely unsanctioned, enabling the continued coexistence of legality and illegality in price formation. In Mauritania, public interventions were necessary to contain the social and political consequences of price hikes. But circumvention of the rules was so common in the public administration that fraudulent practices characterized the implementation of such social programs too. Illegal market transactions became one of the means by which the government organized redistribution.

Decision making is an essentially social process adopted by individuals or groups to identify and choose the best choice among several alternatives. Decision-making choices are influenced by the preferences, values, and beliefs of the individuals or groups involved in the decision-making process. This study was conducted to analyze the social inclusion of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) in the context of their participation in decision making. The study area consisted of 8028 PWDs registered with the government of Pakistan, from which a sample of 488 PWDs was selected through a multistage stratified random sampling technique. These PWDs included physically disabled, blind, crippled, and deaf persons; however, the data were collected from those who were able to be interviewed. Chi-square and Kendall’s Tau-b tests were used to determine the strength, level, and direction of association among variables. At the multivariate level, the study found a spurious relation between social inclusion and participation in decision making when controlling for gender, monthly family income, and level of disability of the PWDs. The results highlighted that participation in decision making improved the social inclusion of male and moderately disabled PWDs more positively. However, participation in decision making was a universal feature explaining the social inclusion of PWDs irrespective of their monthly family income. The logistic regression model explained that the social inclusion of PWDs was more likely to occur when PWDs were married, had high monthly family income (PKR 16,500 and above), belonged to a joint family, and actively participated in decision making. The study recommends that ensuring the participation of PWDs in decision making in family, community, school, and other relevant institutions ultimately enhances their social inclusion.

Indonesia as a developing country continues to make improvements in the program and policy of quality of life and human resources development. The new vision of Indonesia’s president is 'SDM unggul Indonesia maju’ and this vision also applied by government today shows that the government is serious about improving human resources quality. The sustainable development program is the benchmark for how seriousness of this country performs evaluation and improvement for a fair and prosperous welfare of society. The pattern of community-based development has been integrated and structured into a challenge in the policy model of sustainable program. This paper focuses on the development issue of rural communities with critical to the thought of functional structural theories. The approach used is qualitative study of the library by using scientific research of both articles, journals, as well as related agency data. This paper explains that the social structure that occurs in rural communities, gives an unsubstantial impact on the development of the poor. Then, the development that is still on the functional structural is the benchmark in overcoming the reality of poverty in the rural community today. Nevertheless, the development of functional structural perspectives is still difficult to be contributed to the significance of Community welfare development. It is concluded that community development programs are still loaded with importance and vulnerable to being politicized by the elite.

Social work is a practice-based profession that is underpinned by the principles of social justice and the promotion of empowerment. It has two key aims; to enhance the wellbeing of vulnerable people through the application of relationship-based practice and to carry out the government commissioned safeguarding duties of local authorities that are informed by law. In order to meet these dual aims, social workers need to apply a body of knowledge, skills and qualities to their work that will enable them to meet the diverse needs of vulnerable people living within the local authority urban and rural communities. Within this study, I argue that the knowledge, skills and qualities have become compromised and this has subsequently impacted on the social work profession. I consider the tensions that have arisen between the values and duties of the social work profession and successive government agendas since the 1970s, in respect to the standards and expectations of statutory social work practice. These tensions relate to both the substantial cuts to the funding of the services in which the social work profession is expected to carry out its duties and responsibilities and qualifying and practicing social workers being deemed as “ill-equipped” with the necessary knowledge, skills and qualities to carry out their statutory duties. I argue that the sequence of government interventions and the findings within more recent serious case reviews such as the tragic loss of life of Victoria Climbie (2000) have failed to consider the political regime in which social work is practiced. I consider, that as a consequence of this, relationship-based practice has been compromised in favour of a government-led administrative processes as a result of a growing culture of fear and blaming social workers for failings in practice. I argue that social workers are victims of "epistemic injustice", a concept of prejudicial injustice that rises against someone in their capacity as a knower. Through the application of qualitative methodology, I will draw on the voices of 12 social workers from a range of qualifying pathways in order to explore how social workers themselves understand these tensions and what knowledge, skills and qualities they consider are critical to carryout out contemporary statutory social work practice.
