Rita Vaičekauskaitė. Negalios studijų kritinis diskursas sveikatos mokslų kontekste. 2020. Klaipėdos universiteto leidykla
Lietuvoje pastaruosius du dešimtmečius sparčiai gausėja tyrimų negalios moksle tema, daugiau ir viešojo kalbėjimo visuomenėje ta tema. Tačiau monografija apie negalios studijas (angl. disability studies) pasirodė pirmą kartą. Ko gero taip susiklostė todėl, kad terminas negalios studijos lietuvių moksliniame diskurse neįprastas. Šios studijos arba tiesiog tapatinamos su studijomis tiesiogine šio žodžio prasme, arba paskęsta tarp kitų mokslo disciplinų, tokių kaip sociologija, edukologija, psichologija, antropologija, medicina. Monografijoje atskleidžiama, kad negalios studijos nėra nei viena, nei kita. Tarpdiscipliniškumas yra svarbus, bet ne pagrindinis negalios studijų bruožas. Pagrindinis – jų kritinė nuostata. Lietuvoje neturime mokslinės tradicijos kurti ir vystyti kritinės minties disciplinų. Būtent tokios iš prigimties ir savo paskirtimi yra negalios studijos. Analogiško pobūdžio tikslų ir prigimties požiūriu galime laikyti mokslo ir technologijų studijas (angl. Science and Technology Studies), kurioms deramo dėmesio Lietuvoje taip pat neskiriama.

Abstract
The study of psychological well-being is a really important issue of the modern society and the contemporary science. Many mental disorders and psychosomatic diseases are anteceded by mood decline, experience of ill-being. If the sense of satisfaction is absent, tensions, inconsistency in actions appear and overall functional efficiency decreases. The life style of very many people has undergone dramatic changes over the last 20 years. One of the main reasons for these changes is emergence of the Internet and its special faculty – social networks. It is well known that communications are a necessary structural component of psychological well-being. Emergence of social networks has expanded communicative opportunities to virtual infinity; at the same time, such communications swallow up personal time and efforts. This article makes an attempt to analyze peculiarities of personal behavior in social networks depending on a personal level of psychological well-being. Students of the Kyiv National University (Kyiv, Ukraine) and working youth have been examined with Ryff’s Scales of Psychological Well-Being and our structured interview. The obtained results show differences in attitudes and behavioral patterns in social networks depending on a person’s level of psychological well-being.

Abstract
Lithuania has been placed 35th out of 187 countries in the UNO Human Development Report 2014, which measures a Human Social Development Index. This is the best result in the history of the country. According to this indicator, since 2010, Lithuania has joined the club of 49 most developed countries in the planet. Despite the fact, poverty, which expresses the essential consequences of social differentiation, has deeply rooted in the social discourse of Lithuania. To understand the controversy of the official statistics and the reality of life, we can no longer think of poverty, deprivation and social exclusion stereotypically. These social phenomena are taking new shapes in the postmodern existence. Therefore, the article presents a philosophical explanation of the change in the perception of two social categories – time and work, which illustrate a dramatic shift of our social life towards the postmodern existence, based on the works of J. Habermas and Z. Bauman. Social categories of time and work are among the elements of social-existential change, which reflect clear differences of philosophical discourses and social consciousness of modernity and postmodernity from the earlier traditions of philosophical thought development. Today these categories acquire the power to reveal new forms of social inequality.
