This paper analyzes the Brazilian social benefit known as Continuous Cash Benefit Programme (BPC), considering its rules, resource utilization, potential impacts,and adverse effects on society. The literature review was based on the Austrian Theory of Economic Intervention.We observed that the BPC needs to be reassessed regarding values, long-term sustainability, and control of adverse effects. Results showed that the value of the BPC per capita is higher than the value of other social benefits in Brazil. 37% of the budget for the analyzed social programs is allocated to the BPC, but it reaches only 18% of the total number of beneficiaries. The benefit amount is also higher than the nominal per capita household income of more than 40% of the Brazilian Federal Units. Since the BPC amount is tied to the minimum wage, which historically experiences real increases in value, and Brazilian data indicate a process of population aging, we expect that expenditures on the benefit will significantly rise in the coming decades. Additionally, we have observed that the BPC creates an adverse incentive for a portion of the population not to contribute to the country's social security system, as they anticipate fitting into the BPC's rules upon retirement. For the sake of public expenditure efficiency and fiscal sustainability, the value and rules of the BPC should be reviewed.

The article demonstrates how thinking works according to German philosopher G.W.F. Hegel and shows what can go wrong if the reality Hegel relied on is compromised by images we encounter in the global world of media images, a critique made by French philosopher Jean Baudrillard. While people may connect with images on their devices rather than on television, Baudrillard’s analysis of images also applies to digital content. This article examines the human task of learning to think for oneself in the company of other people. Its central question focuses on the path thoughtfulness takes if thinking is authentically personal and socially sound. The article offers a model for thinking, abduction, that allows us to keep in touch with reality as we learn to think together about our opinions, knowledge, and beliefs. The article suggests a hopeful way forward for learning to think based on Western philosopher Immanuel Kant’s approach to the growth of the intellect.

This article aims to examine approaches to the assessment and measurement of spirituality, to establish correlations with moral development and ethical education. The methodology employed consisted of a literature review conducted in the databases of CAPES, SCIELO, BDTD, and Google Scholar. The results of this research revealed the existence of 50 measures intended for the assessment of spirituality and religiosity. Among these measures, the stages of Fowler's Faith and the PCBS stand out, both selected for detailed analysis due to their proximity to the assessment and measurement of spirituality, as well as their relevance in the moral and educational context. However, it is prudent to consider that the development of a more specific scale, focused on spirituality, moral development, and education, is still necessary to address the nuances and particularities of the Brazilian reality.
本文旨在研究评估和衡量灵性的方法,以确定灵性与道德发展和道德教育的相关性。所采用的方法包括在 CAPES、SCIELO、BDTD 和 Google Scholar 数据库中进行文献综述。研究结果表明,有 50 项措施用于评估灵性和宗教性。在这些测量方法中,福勒的信仰阶段和 PCBS 比较突出,由于它们与灵性的评估和测量非常接近,而且与道德和教育相关,因此被选中进行详细分析。不过,我们还是有必要考虑制定一个更加具体的量表,重点关注灵性、道德发展和教育,以应对巴西现实的细微差别和特殊性。

Starting from the assertion that vitality can be promoted by morphological elements, the article focuses on the significance of understanding these relationships for the urban security. The research aims to develop an original methodological essay in different scalar approaches of the Cidade Industrial de Curitiba (CIC) neighborhood in the state capital of Paraná, Brazil. The study began with spatial syntax on a macroscale (CIC) associating road axes integration with crime spots, resulting in the selection of four analysis points on the microscale (street). The integration of these two scales as a unique feature of the study. Considering the lot frontage as a unit of evaluation for interpreting characteristics of public spaces, private areas, temporary conditions, and nighttime scenarios, the answers to the investigative question indicate similar behavior for the parameters of the two latter themes. At the same time, significant connections with criminal activities are found only for the second subject. This result is primarily conditioned by the existence of elements that do not generate vitalized places and are not attractive to the attention of offenders. In conclusion, the guiding hypothesis that certain variables for vitality have more relevant relationships between landscape and security is confirmed. The practical implications of this confirmation have real-world applications in structuring integrated policies for urban planning and security measures in contemporary cities.

For over two decades in France, the concept of "bientraitance" has echoed within the walls of nursing homes. While recommendations for good professional practices stand as a beacon for the care of the elderly, aiming to prevent the indignity of mistreatment, they may not consistently guide daily care giving practices in these establishments. This study does not delve into the reasons for this discrepancy. Instead, it presents three situations extracted from the field, exploring the concepts of "bientraitance" and its antithesis. Employing a qualitative and reflective approach, the research seeks to examine the nuanced boundary between these two antagonistic modes of care. The caregiver's individual response becomes pivotal, signifying their positioning—whether to remain or contemplate a shift—while respecting the construction of their professional identity and the dignity of the vulnerable individual.

This paper analysis one family pertaining to the Maltese Australian community in Melbourne and investigates the retention of the Maltese language. The Maltese Australian community is a small community that is getting smaller since migration from Malta to Australia has largely stopped. Thus, the Maltese language is spoken mostly by the first generation of immigrants who left the island after the Second World War seeking a better future. The second generation, born in Australia, usually understands the language but lacks the opportunity or the will to speak the language except with members of the family. The third generation, raised in a multicultural country, normally has very little fluency in the Maltese language. The investigation is grounded in interview data gathered among a family of three generations of Maltese origin in Melbourne. The findings of this research show that the aging population of the Maltese community and the dominance of the English language do not favour the retention of the Maltese language in the future. With the end of the first generation of post-World War Two migrants and the emergence of the fourth and fifth generations, probably, there will be an absolute shift to English, the de-facto national language of Australia.

Recreation, leisure, and sports play an important role in adolescent communities. Their benefits include improving individual health and well-being, facilitating developmental opportunities, and interpersonal relationships. People of all ages, abilities and skill levels individually or small groups, teams, whole communities can be involved in recreation, leisure and sporting activities. The recreation, leisure and sporting activities vary considerably depending on the local context and reflect social systems and cultural values. Rest is vital for any age. Especially essential during the personality formation period in adolescence. Socialization opportunities through recreation are necessary to support social-emotional maturity in healthy adulthood. Useful entertainment skills, like any life skill, requires a well-planned training and support program.

The study explored and examined effect of help seeking behaviours on psychological wellbeing, and ways of coping among Professional Psychologists in Accra, Ghana using a case study research design. A total of 116 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Data was collected using standardized Likert type questionnaires which comprised the WHO Well-Being Index (WHO-5; 1998 version), Africultural Coping Systems Inventory (ACSI) (Utsey, Adams, & Bolden 2000), and the Attitudes Towards Seeking Professional Psychological Help Scale (ATSPPHS) (Fischer & Farina, 1995). Data was analyzed using Descriptive statistics, Reliability and Normality tests, Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient test, Simple Linear Regression Analysis, and Multivariate Analysis of Variance test. Results revealed that a significant positive correlation exists between help seeking behaviour and psychological wellbeing. Secondly, Coping style (i.e., cognitive and emotional debriefing, and ritual centered coping) significantly predicts help seeking behaviours. Meanwhile, only cognitive and emotional debriefing coping style predicts psychological wellbeing.
