“…Tuberculosis among the homeless individuals in Poland is a serious epidemiological problem given their considerable migration and staying in crowded places, such as night shelters, especially in winter. Their attitude towards hygiene, hampered access to health services and the reluctance to undergo treatment are further factors of significance (22). We observed a significant correlation between BMI and tuberculosis with subjects with lower BMI values being more likely to receive treatment for tuberculosis (p = 0.037).…”

Our results indicate that the design of the social welfare system for homeless people should always take into account issues related to alcohol dependence, and each homeless person should be evaluated for possible alcohol dependence. Institutionalised material support provided to homeless individuals should be organised in such a way as to minimise the risk of promoting alcohol and nicotine dependence.

The Velvet Revolution in 1989 did not represent only a fundamental change of the political regime, but also the beginnings of contemporary Czech study of public policy and policy expertise. This article aims to present its significant institutional aspects on the basis of a systematic analysis drawing on deLeon, Trent and Stein's models of (sub)discipline development. It assumes that the development of a field of study is driven by the interaction between its inner dynamics and the surrounding environment (society, state and international academic community). The article identifies three dominant approaches in the configuration of the Czech field -Prague public policy, Brno political science and Brno social policy -and it focuses on their supporting infrastructure, frames of reference and contacts with the international academic community. Finally, it outlines the study's development stages, revealing that Czech study of public has been quickly catching up with its Western counterparts.

This book by Bridgit Dimond provides a very enjoyable and easy to read text concerning the legal aspects of consent. It is both concise and comprehensive in its execution. The book has a very wide target audience, consisting of those within a management or supervisory position and all health professionals, as well as patient groups, service users and their representatives. The book could also provide good material for use by student health professionals during their training, as it provides a very clear picture of how and when consent can be given, and under what circumstances decisions can be over-ruled (and by whom). For those already practicing it provides legal justifi cation for acting, or not acting, within situations that could occur, and therefore provides a degree of protection to both the profession and those with whom they work.
