Artykuł traktuje o sytuacji współczesnych rodzin, ich problemach, uwikłaniach kryzysowych oraz możliwościach niesienia im pomocy. Autorka artykułu rozważa sytuację rodzin dotkniętych dysfunkcją lub polidysfunkcją, nieradzących sobie w obliczu narastającego kryzysu wieloproblemowego. Dokonuje przeglądu badań nad tego typu rodzinami. Odnosi się do aktualnie prowadzonej polityki prorodzinnej i wskazuje na alternatywne możliwości udzielania pomocy rodzinom w wychodzeniu z zapaści polidysfunkcyjnej. Za szczególnie ważne uznaje wspomaganie holistyczne, uwzględniające zwłaszcza poddawanie tego typu rodzin treningom kompetencyjnym indywidualnym i grupowym.

W artykule przedstawiono rozważania dotyczące roli kultury organizacyjnej w budowaniu przewagi konkurencyjnej organizacji opartej na wiedzy. Wykazano istotność kultury organizacyjnej jako ważnego składnika zasobów niematerialnych organizacji i konieczność badania występujących w jej obszarze dysfunkcji. Punkt wyjścia stanowi przegląd literatury w zakresie identyfikacji potencjalnych obszarów dysfunkcji i patologii w sferze kultury organizacyjnej. Zasadnicza część pracy dotyczy analizy patologii samej kultury organizacyjnej w kontekście jej funkcji i typów oraz uwarunkowań gospodarki opartej na wiedzy. Finalnie zidentyfikowano symptomy pojawiających się dysfunkcji kultury organizacyjnej i zaproponowano instrumentarium empirycznej analizy i diagnozy badanego zjawiska. Zaprezentowano wyniki pilotażowych porównawczych badań empirycznych dotyczących dysfunkcji w organizacjach w Polsce. Badania wstępne przeprowadzono w 2015 r., a rozszerzone w 2016 r. Ich wyniki pozwalają wskazać jednoznacznie obszary dysfunkcji i prowadzą do wniosku, że w opinii pracowników badanych przedsiębiorstw ich kultury organizacyjne są dalekie od przyjętych w warunkach gospodarki opartej na wiedzy kultur wzorcowych, tj. kultury zaufania, współpracy czy wiedzy.

Over the last decade, the crime rate among young people has been rising, which may be caused by the growing dysfunctionality of the family. The aim of this work is to show the range of juvenile crime in recent years and the way in which the dysfunctionality of the family influences this phenomenon. To analyze the phenomenon of juvenile crime, the statistics of the Regional Police Headquarters in Opole in years 1999-2012 have been used. The analysis of the statistics has shown that over these years, the crime rate among young people has been rising and in 2012 it reaches 8.4% of all crimes. It is becoming apparent that the dysfunctionality of modern family influences the development of crime among young people. Modern dysfunctionality is not understood merely as orphanhood or half-orphanhood but more as a deep crisis of educational family values. What has been disturbed is the structure of families without considering it just at the level of parents' physical presence at home but at the level of bonds, goals, norms which family should bring while shaping a young person, citizen and which it currently develops.

Compressive neuropathies are one of the most frequent cases of upper extremity dysfunction. These are the diseases of the nervous system affecting peripheral nerves and resulting in their permanent or transient dysfunction. Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most frequent upper extremity neuropathy. It is estimated that about 1% of the general population suffers from carpal tunnel syndrome. Based on the data collected in the United States, we can say that among 1000 people there are 0.99-3.5 cases presenting with CTS yearly. Despite a relatively high prevalence, compressive neuropathies of the upper extremities still constitute a serious problem from the clinical point of view. Immediate diagnosing (including history taking, a thorough physical examination and additional examinations), implementation of conservative treatment (pharmacotherapy, physiotherapy, local steroid injections and in some cases - temporary plaster cast immobilisation), finally an adequate decision concerning surgical procedure, let us obtain positive results of the treatment, limiting the period of disability to work and the percentage of sequela. Differential diagnosis allows to determine which nerve is responsible for the symptoms and to localise compression. Moreover, concomitant compression syndromes at the cervical spine level should be excluded. Too late diagnosis may result in severe dysfunction of the unaffected part of the upper extremity. In case of negligence, sensory and motor function impairment may be accompanied by vegetative disorders. Sometimes, a sustained compression causes irreversible anatomical changes within the nerve. In such cases, it is often impossible to obtain satisfactory treatment results, despite immediate implementation of conservative and surgical treatment. Nowadays, traditional tools and the increasingly popular arthroscopic techniques are utilised in surgical treatment. Arthroscopy is particularly useful in the treatment of CTS and ulnar groove syndrome. High prevalence and high percentage of severe dysfunctions of unaffected parts of upper extremities indicate a serious clinical problems that must not be neglected [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
