The aim of the paper was to get an understanding about how the profession of social work explains its relevance and legitimacy in today's Russia, to enlighten the importance of socio-political, professional and educational contexts in explaining the societal position of the social work profession in Russia. This paper begins with the analysis of the processes of legitimization, professionalization and constitution of social work in today's Russia. In addition to functionalist and critical perspectives on these three processes, in its second part the paper employs phenomenological approach looking into everyday life theory of social work that is constructed in routine work at the social service agencies. The third part of this paper talks about the issues of social services and social work with family and children in contemporary Russia.

Although the world’s attention has on several occasions been turned to the plight of the vision impaired, there has been no international copyright instrument that specifically provides for limitations or exceptions to copyright for their benefit. Such an instrument becomes imperative amidst the grow- ing number of persons in this category and the need to facilitate their access to information that will give them the opportunity to participate in public affairs. Brazil, Ecuador, Paraguay, and Mexico (Brazilian group) seek to fill this gap by submitting to the WIPO’s Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights a draft treaty for Improved Access for Blind, Visually Impaired and Other Reading Disabled Persons. How- ever, this proposal has generated a lot of reactions, resulting in three other such proposals being submit- ted to WIPO for deliberations. Copyright owners have also opposed the treaty. Amidst these reactions, this work seeks to analyze the compatibility of the Brazilian group’s proposal with the TRIPS three-step test, which has enjoyed a great deal of international recognition since its inclusion in the Berne Convention. It also seeks to find its compatibility with EU copyright law as harmonized in the Directive 2001/29/EC. In the end, we conclude that the proposed treaty is in harmony with the three-step test, and though it has some variations from the EU Copyright Directive, it nonetheless shares some underlying objectives with the Directive and does not radically depart from what prevails in several EU member states.

Flexible und wandelbare Fabrikstrukturen sind von hoher Bedeutung, wenn Produktionsstätten in einem turbulenten Umfeld langfristig wettbewerbsfähig bleiben sollen; darin sind sich Forschung und Praxis einig. Während der jüngsten weltweiten Wirtschaftskrise wurden Experten aus dem Airline-Catering-Umfeld befragt, wie Betriebe dieser Branche auf starke Veränderungen vorbereitet sind. Vorgespräche und Analysen des Autors legten die Vermutung nahe, dass diese Dienstleistungsbranche besonderen Flexibilitätsanforderungen unterliegt. Im Rahmen einer detaillierten Studie, deren Erkenntnisse in einer Dissertation zusammengefasst werden, sind Interviews mit Experten geführt worden. Aus den Ergebnissen der Interviews wurden Schlussfolgerungen auf erforderliche, flexible Materialflusstechniklösungen, im Speziellen Elektrohängebahnen (EHB), und bauliche Anpassungen nach dem „Konzept Internet der Dinge“ gezogen. Szenarioanalysen zu Wirtschaftlichkeits- und Risikoaspekten durchleuchteten die generierten Ansätze. Anschließend an die quantitative Analyse wurden die Ansätze ebenfalls durch eine qualitative Bewertung herkömmlichen Lösungen gegenübergestellt. Die aufgebaute Bewertungsmethode ist sowohl geeignet, um in zukünftigen Projekten die Entscheidung für oder gegen eine wandelbare Ausführung zu treffen, als auch andere Branchen auf die grundsätzliche Sinnhaftigkeit des Einsatzes wandelbarer Materialflusstechnik zu überprüfen.
