“…Both concepts deal with structural perspectives, which place the responsibility for exclusion and class hardship on harmful societal injustices, and imply the need for a social work which strives to find a balance between public interest and control on one hand, and emancipation of discriminated populations from the strife they sustain on the other . In this vein, findings of the current study provide empiric evidence to what have become commonly accepted theoretical assumptions regarding the shared foundations of concepts such as poverty aware social work and participatory practices …”

“…The other is the nature of service users social workers are expected to form partnerships with. These service users often live in poverty, are unemployed or underemployed, deal with a variety of health needs, have very limited access to political power resources and bare severe stigma and social labels . For such groups, the formation of partnerships with social workers is expected to emphasize workers’ commitment to humanist doctrines and create symbolic interactions which have the ability to challenge and transform harmful power structures.…”

ObjectivePartnerships between service users and social workers are complex in nature and can be driven by both personal and contextual circumstances. This study sought to explore the relationship between social workers’ involvement in shared decision making with service users, their attitudes towards service users in poverty, moral standards and health and social care organizations’ policies towards shared decision making.MethodsBased on the responses of 225 licensed social workers from health and social care agencies in the public, private and third sectors in Israel, path analysis was used to test a hypothesized model.ResultsStructural attributions for poverty contributed to attitudes towards people who live in poverty, which led to shared decision making. Also, organizational support in shared decision making, and professional moral identity, contributed to ethical behaviour which led to shared decision making.ConclusionThe results of this analysis revealed that shared decision making may be a scion of branched roots planted in the relationship between ethics, organizations and Stigma.

“…A inclusão social é aqui entendida como um processo que visa oferecer oportunidades de acesso às pessoas mais excluídas dentro de um sistema e, portanto, que beneficiam todos, e não apenas aqueles que possuem as melhores condições de acesso a bens e serviços (SILVER & MILLER, 2002;PIERSON, 2002).…”

Resumo: A produção de biocombustíveis tem sido fortemente discutida no Brasil, levando o País a desenvolver políticas e implantar, no ano de 2004, o Programa Nacional de Produção e Uso de Biodiesel (PNPB), a fim de aumentar a participação de energias renováveis, bem como fomentar o desenvolvimento regional sustentável. Nesse contexto, o presente estudo busca avaliar a relação entre a condição de vida dos agricultores e a adoção do cultivo de oleaginosas no norte do Brasil, em uma região de transição entre o Cerrado e a Floresta Amazônica. Uma gama de indicadores socioeconômicos foi coletada entre os agricultores que cultivam soja na região. A teoria dos conjuntos fuzzy baseada na condição de vida dos agricultores e um modelo não linear probit foram utilizados para avaliar a inclusão de famílias rurais pobres na cadeia do biodiesel. Os resultados preliminares mostram uma relação negativa entre o nível de privação das famílias e a adoção do cultivo de soja. Palavras-chave: Biocombustíveis; Inclusão Social; Desenvolvimento Regional Sustentável Abstract: Biofuel production has been greatly discussed in Brazil. In 2004, some debates lead the country to develop new policies and implement the National Biodiesel Use and Production Program (PNPB), with the intent to increase the share of renewable energy and foster sustainable regional development. In this context, the present study aims to assess the linkages between family farmer's living standard and the adoption of oil seed activity in northern Brazil, in a region of transition between the Cerrado (Brazilian savanna) and the Amazon rain forest. Ranges of socio-economic indicators were collected among smallholders who cultivate soybean. A fuzzy logic set theory based on living standard criteria and a non-linear probit model was applied to assess the inclusion of poor rural families in the biodiesel chain. Preliminary results point towards a negative relation between the family degree of deprivation and adoption of oil seed activity, for the soybean production.

“…Exclusion also has a geographical dimension embracing rural, urban and suburban areas alike’ (DCMS 1999). A considerable number of scholars regard social exclusion as being multidimensional, dynamic and cumulative (Silver 1994; Paugam 1996; Bude 1998; Bhalla & Lapeyre 1999; Littlewood & Herkommer 1999; Percy‐Smith 2000; Pierson 2002; Chang 2004, 2005, 2010; Barnes 2005; Lee 2007; Wang et al . 2007); however, the appropriate indicators and precise standards/criteria of social exclusion are still quite diverse, thereby giving rise to continuous debate.…”

Are adults with intellectual disabilities socially excluded? An exploratory study in Taiwan

The finding that the proportion of adults with ID and no social exclusion has risen from 18.1% in 2003 to 20.4% in 2006 represents an encouraging trend. However, there has been a marked increase in the proportion of the subjects with more categories of social exclusion, particularly with regard to those who have to endure all three categories, from 0.2% in 2003, to 1.1% in 2006. This implies that, at the time of the last survey, there was still considerable room for improvement in the social inclusion of adults with ID in Taiwan.
