Abstract:

This thesis aims to identify and analyse the impact on the implementation of successful educational actions with vulnerable groups, thus responding to the social objectives stipulated by the United Nations Organization (2015) and the European Commission (2014a). To achieve this general objective, the doctoral thesis has been produced through a set of articles. Article 1 focuses on investigating the emotional, educational and personal impact on adolescents who reside in out‐of‐home care institutions and participate voluntarily in dialogic literary gatherings.

Abstract:

Environmental hazards and adverse socioeconomic conditions have negative impacts on people's health and are linked with both communicable and non-communicable diseases. Disproportionate exposure of vulnerable groups to environmental hazards can exacerbate environmental and health inequalities. Existing research has highlighted evidence of environmental and health inequalities, but gaps in understanding remain. This thesis addresses three areas of policy interest: the spatio-temporal dynamics of inequalities; the long-term impact of natural disasters on health inequalities; and the interaction

Abstract:

The health impact of environmental hazards can differ between populations. These differences arise from sensitivity to hazards, disparity in exposure to hazards and a combination of both. Sensitivity is due to a range of factors including higher rates of underlying illness, genetic factors, poor access to health care, or lower socioeconomic status (SES). Spatial distribution of exposure gives rise to disparities in exposure which can lead to higher exposure among people of lower SES. Combining sensitivity and higher exposure compounds the effects of environmental hazards. This is known as envi

Abstract:

The HIV and AIDS pandemic have become not only a health concern but educational and social concern as well. According to Beyers and Hay (2011, p. 99) many school-going children are not only affected by HIV but a large number of adolescents are also either HIV positive or have AIDS. Other researchers argue that education should act as a vaccine against new HIV infections (Kendall and O’Gara, 2007, p. 6). This argument comes with the expectation that all teachers are willing and ready to work with learners made vulnerable by HIV and AIDS; without considering the lived realities of the teachers i

The current study examined whether perceptions of perceived competence can produce this effect and increase the performance level of high-shy persons in a problem-solving group above the performance level of low-shy persons.

In 2020, the world and foremost vulnerable groups are facing “new” challenges. Dual crises of coexisting hazards like natural hazards occurring amid the COVID-19 pandemic has become more than a prediction. Hence, this thesis is a case study of dual crises and of how organisations and actors act upon those crises. With the aim to examine how the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) includes vulnerable groups in disaster risk reduction related matters amid the COVID-19 pandemic, a qualitative text analysis has been performed on the selection of five of UNDRR’s publications.

Abstract:

Le régime applicable au consentement à l’acte médical des personnes vulnérables que sont les mineurs et les majeurs sous protection juridique est un sujet délicat pour le législateur. Ce dernier doit instaurer une législation conciliant protection de l’intégrité physique du patient, et respect de son autonomie. Le droit positif échoue à trouver cet équilibre. Les mineurs sont privés de leur capacité d’exercice à toutes les étapes de leur vie, quel que soit leur âge ou leur degré de maturité. Elle réserve également un traitement disparate aux majeurs protégés. Leur autonomie variant selon la pr

Abstract:

L'enfermement carcéral au regard de la loi pénitentiaire demeure la forme de privation de liberté la plus extrême. En théorie, l'incarcération ne doit porter atteinte qu'à la liberté d'aller et venir. Toutefois, en pratique, la peine de prison pèse sur de nombreux droits fondamentaux. Parmi ces libertés fondamentales, l'accès à la santé se situe au premier rang. En outre, la protection de ce droit est accrue par la publication des RPE par le Conseil de l'Europe et la jurisprudence de la Cr EDH portant sur les droits subjectifs primordiaux reconnus aux détenus, sur le régime de leur détention,
