Against this background, Poland, with its confessional religious education for which churches and religious associations are responsible, appears as a certain model.

Religious education and the concept of universal fraternity in the light of the encyclical Fratelli tutti of Pope Francis
In the face of growing tensions between nations, communities, and individuals, it is necessary to build understanding and dialog between them. Political, economic, and cultural activities are not always sufficient and effective, due to the fact that attitudes toward other people depend less on systemic solutions, laws, and procedures than on what is inside human beings, their empathy and solidarity. Pope Francis has therefore proposed a platform …
Social capital and food security in post-conflict rural Lira District, northern Uganda

Since factors affecting food security are complex, we explored the roles of households' characteristics in food security outcomes. Data were coll…
Digital culture as the context of contemporary catechesis
Kultura cyfrowa jako zjawisko powszechne i ściśle związane z codziennością dzieci, młodzieży i dorosłych nie pozostaje bez wpływu na wychowanie młodego pokolenia, w tym wychowanie do dojrzałej wiary. Staje się ona zatem wyzwaniem katechetycznym. O wpływie kultury cyfrowej na katechezę wspomina zarówno nowe Dyrektorium o katechizacji, jak i najnowsze dokumenty papieskie. Cyfrowość jawi się jako nowy rodzaj kultury zmieniającej język, kształtującej…

Persistent household food insecurity, HIV, and maternal stress in Peri-Urban Ghana
In agreement with syndemic theory there is a powerful synergism between maternal HIV diagnosis and household food insecurity on maternal stress. Comprehensive multi-dimensional intervention studies are needed to better understand how to reduce stress among HIV-positive women living in persistently food insecure households and how to reduce the likelihood of food insecurity in HIV-affected households in Sub-Saharan Africa
Maternal HIV is associated with reduced growth in the first year of life among infants in the E astern region of G hana

Food insecurity and perceived stress but not HIV infection are independently associated with lower energy intakes among lactating Ghanaian women
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seropositive women living in low-income communities may have difficulty meeting the increased energy requirements that are associated with both lactation and HIV infection. Data on household food security and maternal socio-demographic characteristics, perceived stress, anthropometry, reported illness, dietary intakes and preferences, and exposure to nutrition education were collected from 70 lactating women [16…
Harnessing Community Capitals for Livelihood Enhancement
This study assesses how community capitals can be harnessed to improve food security using the “sustainable livelihoods” and “community capitals” frameworks. We demonstrate how the dimensions of these frameworks can be measured and applied in development work. Data were collected using participatory methods in four communities comprised of 500 households in rural Kamuli District, Uganda, where food and nutrition insecurity have been a serious pro…

Socioeconomic factors associated with child health and nutrition in peri‐urban Zimbabwe
Relationships between the nutritional status of children and several dimensions of socioeconomic status were investigated during the rainy season for 277 children under 5 years of age. The study took place in Chitungwiza, a peri‐urban community in Zimbabwe in 1985, five years after its political independence.
