In this paper one presents the development and some results of a practical activity that forms a part of the formative program of students of Teaching, in relation to the subject «Psycho-pedagogic Bases of the Special Education». The activity supposes the utilization of the television as curricular resource and we it come leading to end for years, which experience allows us to recount some methodological considerations and think about its results. The activity includes a double slope. On one hand, to study the images of the disabled people projected in the television, as important mass media that determines the mental representation and social attitudes in relation with this group. On the other hand, to use the formative content of diverse programs that presents, from different perspectives or approaches, the reality of the persons with disability or people with educational special needs. Es una realidad indiscutible que la televisión constituye una valiosa herramienta cultural, no sólo para comunicar, informar y entretener al público televidente, sino también, y especialmente, para formar a los espectadores y espectadoras como sujetos activos, críticos y solidarios en una sociedad plural. En la Cumbre 2000 de Comunicación y Educación, celebrada en Toronto, y en otros encuentros posteriores sobre el tema, diversos representantes institucionales y dirigentes de medios de comunicación enfatizaron la necesidad, y su consiguiente compromiso práctico, de desarrollar la vertiente formativa de la televisión, como importante vehículo para la formación permanente de las sociedades contemporáneas y futuras. Formar no significa únicamente transmitir la cultura como un conjunto de conocimientos que el sujeto debe asimilar. Significa, además, y especialmente según la propuesta freiriana de pedagogía de la liberación, formar conciencia y pensamiento crítico, algo fundamental en la tarea que nos ocupa de preparación de los futuros y futuras profesionales de la educación. En esta Comunicación presentamos el desarrollo y algunos resultados de una actividad práctica que forma parte del programa formativo del alumnado de magisterio, en relación con una materia de carácter troncal en los planes de estudios de todas las especialidades de esta carrera universitaria: Bases Psicopedagógicas de la Educación Especial. Actividad que supone el aprovechamiento de la televisión como recurso curricular y que venimos llevando a cabo desde hace años, cuya experiencia nos permite referir algunas consideraciones metodológicas y reflexiones sobre sus resultados. La ejecución práctica de la actividad comprende una doble vertiente. Por una parte, estudiar las imágenes de las personas con discapacidad proyectadas en la televisión, como importante medio de comunicación que condiciona la representación mental y las actitudes sociales en relación con este colectivo. Por otra parte, supone utilizar el contenido formativo de diversos programas de interesante valor formativo y cultural, que se centran en distintas dimensiones vitales y refieren, desde diferentes perspectivas o enfoques, la realidad de las personas con discapacidad o personas con necesidades educativas especiales. La televisión se convierte así en un medio idóneo para facilitar la comprensión de las dificultades, necesidades y demandas de un importante sector de la sociedad que en el futuro será objeto de atención profesional, educativa en nuestro caso, por parte de los actuales estudiantes universitarios.

Child Tracking System is a mobile application where the parent can monitor their children location in crowded environments. In addition to children, there is also the elderly people, and the disabled people, so the guidance or the person responsible of them can use this application to track their location. The parent or guidance side will have the application in which they can track, and on the other side, the child or the old person or the disabled person will have device that includes the GPS chip. The main goal of this research is to design an application with system that will help parents to keep track of their children, eventually reducing the cases in which the children or the other mentioned categories of people could be lost. The current used solution to this problem is that the children first have a wearable hand wrist in which they print their parent phone number, so when the child is lost there is a center in which the child is being taken and dealt with care till they contact the parent to come and pick the child up. The problem with the current way that it takes time, and there is a risk that child get totally lost or kidnapped before even reaching to any help, so the new way is better to even prevent them to go far away or to be lost for hours, thus the recovery here will be fast unlike the regular used way nowadays. That goal will be achieved throw systematically objectives starting from studying the existed systems, to planning and analysing, going to designing and implementing, and lastly, testing our own system.

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.

The Subject

The subject of illness and disability has been explored by artists for a long time. Depending on the era, it was presented in different ways. Twentieth-century social movements, interested in emancipating otherness, shed new light on the perception of the human body and its causative capabilities. Currently, the artist is more a commentator of reality than its passive observer and disability is one of the most important subjects of art. The exclusion, which used to involve disabled people, seems to be passing nowadays, however the problem of ableism still exists. Contemporary artists refer to it in their works trying to face harmful stereotypes. The purpose of this article is to look at disability through the eyes of artists, to find its representations in works of art and to trace how the perception of the disabled body has changed, based on the aesthetics and canon of a given age – from the perfect body of antique to the social involvement of contemporary art.

Cultural Oppression

We need a feminist theory of disability, both because 16 percent of women are disabled, and because the oppression of disabled people is closely linked to the cultural oppression of the body. Disability is not a biological given; like gender, it is socially constructed from biological reality. Our culture idealizes the body and demands that we control it. Thus, although most people will be disabled at some time in their lives, the disabled are made “the other,” who symbolize failure of control and the threat of pain, limitation, dependency, and death. If disabled people and their knowledge were fully integrated into society, everyone's relation to her/his real body would be liberated.

The disability problem is an important issue that paramedics also face. Their attitudes and knowledge about this phenomenon may largely depend on the contact they make with a disabled person, and this in turn will be reflected in the activities that will be performed by the rescuer. The very method of collecting medical history is important in further rescue proceedings. The paper presents a variety of aspects in the approach to disability expressed in tests carried out on paramedics. The intention of the authors was to signal the problem of disability and attempt to make a preliminary assessment of the subjective attitudes of medical students towards people with disabilities. This study is a preliminary report, and the leitmotiv of this publication is the willingness to interest the subject of other researchers and to share already available results. Statistical analysis shows that among the causes of disability, the most common are damage and diseases of the musculoskeletal system – 46.5% in second place are cardiovascular diseases – 45.5%, and neurological diseases to which we want to devote broad attention are in third place in this statistical and constitute 23.9%. The study was conducted in May 2019 in a group of 60 students (30 women and 30 men) aged 20-22 attending medical universities in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship. The research tool was the author's own survey containing closed questions. Participation in the study was voluntary and anonymous. The respondents were asked about demographic data: the perception of the disabled, knowledge of problems related to the disabled and ways of supporting the disabled. The results were developed using Microsoft Excel 2010 from the Windows 7 package, using the appropriately available spreadsheet functions. The obtained results justify the careful conclusion that the problem of disability, seen through the eyes of medical university students, is not only noticed but assessed by them. Students very emphatically referred to the problem of disabled people taken up in the article.

Disability in Polish films is not a marginal issue. As a film topic, it has been explored in many different ways and contexts due to a nexus of diverse relations, trends and social phenomena. All of which have revealed the degree of intensity of the phenomenon as well as its historic changeability. On the one hand, such images have been a reflection of the filmmakers’ interests and, on the other, a source of knowledge on disability and a kind of catalyst for socio-moral transformation shaping the attitudes and behaviour of society towards the disabled. The problem is presented by,, images of disabled film characters, which are widely used in Polish cinematography and often built on socialstereotypes, as well as by the communicative strategies used by filmmakers in their works on disability. In this context, films about disability have played an opinion-forming role, contributing greatly to an enhanced image of disabled people in society and widening their area of activity. The sexuality of people with disabilities is portrayed as asexuality and hypersexuality, and in Polish cinema it mainly concerns the emotional sphere, and less so the physical.

Multi-level annotation of the specialized Corpus of Dialogs of Disabled Polish SpeakersWhile Polish language is relatively well represented in general purpose corpora such as National Polish Language Corpus still there are groups of speakers that are underrepresented in reference corpora. One of such sub-groups is the disabled people community. On the other hand there is a growing need for understanding how disability influences social and cognitive abilities, language in particular. In this paper, we present a specialized Corpus of Dialogs of Disabled Speakers. The process of compiling, transcription and annotation of pragmatic, semantic and morphosyntactic features will be described, as well as Corpus applications will be discussed.

The liberalisation of attitudes to sex on the one hand and the increased tolerance and acceptance of our society to the needs of the disabled on the other, provides an opportunity to articulate the problems faced by the disabled with respect to sex. However, little is said on the subject in Poland and the main way in which society views the disabled – or would like to view them – is as asexual objects which have no sensual needs. The unwillingness to face a difficult problem often deprives the disabled of the opportunity to experience intimate experiences and inter-personal relationships. The author attempts to discover what chances our disabled have of a satisfying sexual life and where the social sources of the difficulties experienced lie.

Los videojuegos representan uno de los mayores fenómenos contemporáneos. Se reporta que hasta un 85% de ellos incluye alguna forma de violencia, generando una preocupación sobre el impacto negativo que pudiera llegar a tener. Esto ha dado lugar a gran número de investigaciones sobre su posible impacto, sin observarse un consenso sobre el tema. La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo medir el impacto de la exposición a videojuegos violentos como uno de los factores que pueden aumentar la agresividad de las personas, mencionado por el “Catalyst Model”. Mediante la realización de un experimento controlado, los resultados sugieren que los videojuegos no fueron un factor de aumento de la agresividad. Se detectaron dos casos anómalos. En el primero, el videojuego no violento tuvo un efecto calmante a actitudes hostiles y en el otro el videojuego violento, fungió como un incrementador de actitudes agresivas. Video games represent one of the greatest contemporary phenomena. It is reported that up to 85% of them include some form of violence, generating a concern about the negative impact that could have. This has led to a large number of research on its possible impact, without observing a consensus on the subject. The objective of this research was to measure the impact of exposure to violent video games as one of the factors that can increase the aggression of people, mentioned by the "Catalyst Model". By conducting a controlled experiment, the results suggest that video games were not a factor in increasing aggressiveness. Two anomalous cases were detected. On the first case, nonviolent videogames worked as a calming effect to hostile attitudes. On the other, they worked in a contrary way with violent videogames, acting as a catalyst of the participant's aggressive attitudes.
