The subject of this article is the use of public consultations in the process of planning a participatory museum. The authors start by mentioning current discussions about participation in culture and debates among museum curators, culture experts, and sociologists concerning a new type of museum. In this context, they present Nina Simon’s idea of a participatory museum, which is a theoretic frame of reference for the long-term activities of the Józef Piłsudski Museum in Sulejówek, an institution desiring to establish a modern participatory museum in a certain social context. At the end, the results of the public consultations are presented. The data shows that one condition for the creation of a participatory museum is an effective, institutionalized, interactive system of communication. Three areas connected with the local community in which the museum could develop participatory projects were also indicated: the joint creation of memorial sites, community integration, and exhibition and educational activities.

Process Perspective

This study explores the processes and outcomes of the public policy reforms from 2002 to 2014, targeting income security among the elderly for a segment of the Chinese population that was increasingly marginalised throughout the 1990s: the rural population. The authors reconstruct the policy process from 2002 until 2014 that led to the establishment of the New Type Rural Social Insurance Pension and assess its impact on providing adequate and sustainable old-age income. One particular focus is the study of the influence of international actors. Yet, as key to the success of the initiative, the authors identify the decisive support of the central level leadership, which facilitated the process by announcing a new development model and providing earmarked transfers from the central government. Despite the improvements in the income security of elderly rural Chinese, questions remain about the Chinese pension system's long-term sustainability and the influence of the system's fragmentation on social mobility and equality.

Inequality has been a long standing issue in Malaysia, although the situation has been statistically improving over the past 40 years. From a Gini coefficient of 0.51 in 1970, the government has done considerably well to bring the figure down to 0.39 in 2016. Efforts toward improving the situation are aplenty, but there is room for improvement in terms of the coordination and collaboration of initiatives that are carried out within the public, private, and social sectors. This paper explores the idea of corporate social intrapreneurship as a potential vehicle to mitigate inequality in the country for the long term. Through the analysis of existing literatures and data on the subject, the aim is to first of all, provide a historical and global context on how the roles of corporation have evolved over the years, discuss the transformative views on social intrapreneurship against traditional corporate social responsibility, and offer considerations to further corporate social intrapreneurship initiatives through public-private partnerships in Malaysia.

Sheltered Workshop

Supported employment is an established approach to community-based employment that has provided many individuals with significant disabilities an opportunity to choose between a lifetime of low wages in segregated sheltered workshop settings and the challenges of a real job in their local community. As a service-delivery strategy that embodies the principles of individualized, community-based support services and consumer empowerment, supported employment has become the preferred employment alternative for large numbers of individuals previously excluded from work opportunities (Rusch, Chadsey-Rusch, & Johnson, 1991; Wehman & Kregel, 1994). The purpose of this article is to summarize the present status of supported employment, discuss the major accomplishments of the initiative, and identify those issues that must be addressed in the future to allow the program to achieve its long-term goal of promoting the economic independence and community integration of individuals with significant disabilities.

Subject AMLO and business. Significance President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) announced on February 18 the creation of an Investment, Employment and Growth Promotion Council. Led by his chief of staff, Alfonso Romo -- the agroindustry businessman who oversaw relations with business groups and investors during AMLO’s 2018 presidential campaign -- the council aims to improve relations between the public and private sectors with a view to doubling economic growth to 4% by the end of the administration's term in 2024. Impacts Businesses will welcome Romo’s return as a more prominent player within the administration but he has yet to prove his leverage with AMLO. The government’s discourse against the neoliberal economic model will continue to buttress AMLO’s support in the short-to-medium term. If AMLO continues to put infrastructure projects at the mercy of public consultations, investors will become increasingly wary of Mexico. In the long term, without tangible improvements in living standards, the government’s popularity will decline despite its rhetoric. Standard and Poor’s lowering of Mexico’s sovereign outlook on March 1 points to a possible rating downgrade, which would weigh on growth.

The Impact

The use of cultural approaches addressing stigma and discrimination promotes acceptance by raising consciousness. People with schizophrenia are often stigmatized by others.Discrimination associated with common myths contributes to social exclusion and treatment delay, creating a barrier to recovery.This paper aims to present the development, implementation and evaluation of an anti-stigma campaign in the context of primary health care and local community using theatrical techniques.In the Health Centre waiting rooms the invisible theatre technique was implemented, consisting in the performance of a previously rehearsed script without informing the public that it was a play, aiming to provoke debate and clarify problems related to social inequality and discrimination. The play script addressed common myths related to schizophrenia: People with schizophrenia are usually dangerous and violent; People with schizophrenia are unlikely to recover; Schizophrenia, as other mental conditions is a sign of weakness and not a true medical illness and others. In the local community, street performances were implemented based on image theatre techniques consisting in the use of living body imagery to address the myths described above.Behavioural responses to the intervention were assessed using Likert type scale. Most of the people in both the settings were paying attention to the performances and dialogues. People watching street performances, however, were more active in expressing opinions or making specific questions related to the subject.Further research on the impact of anti-stigma campaigns using theatre techniques is needed. These strategies may provide an effective approach to fight stigma in communitarian settings.

Insufficient Knowledge

The paper discusses the image of archaeology and archaeologists created in the public by various media. On the grounds of analysis of the texts in which the subject of archaeology figures in newspapers and on social networks, it is demonstrated that archaeologists are mainly perceived in the public as inert “concealers” of the real truth of the past. The reason behind this is equally in the insufficient knowledge of the media, but as well in the reluctance of professional archaeologists to communicate. The paper offers an outline of long-term strategy to bridge the existing gap and inform the public about the mission and social relevance of the discipline.

Current Report

The nurses in the Republic of Bulgaria addressed a number of official demands to the Ministry of Health, one of them was to work out a long-term strategy for the development of standards, including detailed minimal requirements for the number of staff for both hospital, and outpatient care. Objectives: The goal of the current report is a summary of the regulatory documents, concerning the number of nurses in the Republic of Bulgaria, in context of the global practices. Methods: Current medical standards in the Republic of Bulgaria are being taken into account, and methods for determining the number of nurses in other countries. Results: In the period between November and December 2020, within the public consultations for projects of different Regulations for approval of medical standards, the proposed and developed methods by the Bulgarian association of health professionals in nursing to be included in the standards, which concern calculating the necessary staff of nurses, was not admitted for inclusion in any of those standards. Conclusions: Until now, the number of active nurses in the Republic of Bulgaria in all active medical standards is calculated either on the basis of doctors (not patients), or it’s pointed out that the methods of calculating the sufficient number of nurses may be applied. It should be noted that the International Council of Nurses, actually does not recommend universal methods for all countries worldwide.

How Satan Cast Satan out of a Small Town: Girardian Mechanisms in The Crime and the Silence by Anna BikontThis article identifies the categories of René Girard’s anthropology in the content of The Crime and the Silence (My z Jedwabnego), a non-fiction book by Anna Bikont. The article stresses the mechanisms of mimetic violence and the scapegoat apparent in the events she describes. Bikont presents not only the results of her investigation into the events of 1941, but also the collective memory of the local community and its attitude to the public debate on the subject. Jak z pewnego miasteczka szatan wyrzucił szatana. Girardowskie mechanizmy w My z Jedwabnego Anny BikontCelem artykułu jest odniesienie kategorii antropologicznych wypracowanych przez René Girarda do treści reportażu Anny Bikont pod tytułem My z Jedwabnego. Artykuł podkreśla obecność mechanizmów mimetycznej przemocy i kozła ofiarnego w prezentowanych przez autorkę wydarzeniach. Analizę umożliwia szeroki zakres zebranego przez reportażystkę materiału, w którym Bikont prezentuje nie tylko wyniki badań mających odtworzyć przebieg wydarzeń z 1941 roku, ale również trwającą pośród mieszkańców miasteczka pamięć zbrodni i ich stosunek do narosłej dookoła sprawy debaty publicznej.

Non Profit Organizations

Non-profit organizations represent the basis for all democratic societies. They have a key role in modernizing welfare states, building trust, civic virtues and social capital. Cooperation within the local community creates additional capabilities (capacities) for problem solving and improvement of the quality of life. However there are a number of managerial issues relating to the activities of the non-profit organizations. The most common problems are the lack of financial resources and the unsustainability of development, the lack of work professionalism, lack of transparency of organizations and the connection to a broader membership, lack of leadership, poor networking and a low level of cooperation between organizations, low level of cooperation with the media and an underdeveloped role of advocacy (Bežovan, 2005). The lack of financial resources is one of the main problems nowadays, primarily due to non-profit organizations high dependency on the public budget (grants). Simultaneously, there is an increasing number of registered non-profit organizations that compete for a continuously decreasing number of public grants. Therefore, long-term sustainability of non-profit organizations is highly questionable. The solution can be found in carefully planned fundraising activities involving potential donors or sponsors in order to increase the proportion of grants and self-earned revenues and therefore reducing the need for public grants. Fundraising is still relatively unknown within the Croatian non-profit sector, which is also confirmed by studies indicating that non-profit organizations in Croatia are not familiar with what the term “fundraising” comprises.
