Social movements and the contested institutional identity of the hospital
2020
Taking popular protest as a common reaction to changes in hospital services as its point of departure, this paper explores how a social movement has taken on the issue of the hospital as an institution. In the wake of the transformation of Norwegian public hospitals into health enterprises (trusts), this paper explores community resistance to the proposals and plans of decision-makers to restructure hospitals. The study is based on a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the website/blog for the local hospital movement's activities from 2007 until 2017 and of its involvement and resistance in respect of three instances of proposed change to the hospital structure during this period.

2018
Under a health ser vice framework marked by the territory segmentation and the coexistence of public administration and publicprivate ventures, it makes sense to analyze and classif y the health ser vice departments by considering the following objectives: to know the way patients actually behave when the choice of the ser vice place is up to themselves; to adapt the ser vice offer to the patient’s preferences; and to organize health ser vice based on the territory location, thus considering its influence on the management model. Secondary data from the Valencian Community (over two million data) are used in the cluster analysis of the patient loyal behavior (entering , retention and drop ou…

Conservation state of two paintings in the Santa Margherita cliff cave: role of the environment and of the microbial community
2021
Abstract The conservation of ancient paintings sited in humid environments is an actual challenge for restorers, because it needs the knowledge of the materials the paintings are made up and of their interaction with a peculiar surrounding environment; thus, tailored procedures and strategies aimed at restoring and preserving paintings are necessary. The Santa Margherita’s cave in Castellammare del Golfo (Trapani, Italy) is a natural cave, containing the remains of paintings, in a poor state of conservation, belonging to an ancient church dated back to the Middle Age. The present manuscript reports the monitoring of environmental conditions (i.e., temperature and humidity) in a full year as…

La construcción de la instersubjetividad desde la hermenéutica trascendental
2017
En este artículo se busca reflexionar sobre cómo el diálogo es una poderosa herramienta para utilizar en aquellos programas educativos que deseen contribuir con la transformación de la sociedad. Es por ello, que se hace necesario vincular la hermenéutica a la praxis de las ciencias sociales. La hermenéutica puede brindar a las ciencias sociales una metodología de encuentro de perspectivas a través de la intersubjetividad. La intersubjetividad, establecida a través del diálogo, puede posibilitar espacios de acercamiento a la hora de construir un conocimiento colectivo en el ámbito educativo. La ética, también como disciplina filosófica, puede servir para fundamentar la praxis educativa orien…

Learning Psychology and becoming psychologists: developing professional identity through group experiential learning
2017
International audience; n this paper, we describe the advantages of an experiential training group, specifically conceived for psychology students, in which the goal was to activate reflection on the internalized social representations of professional identity. Our study showed the results of a pre-post comparison of a one-group intervention. It was aimed to demonstrate that group experiential learning is particularly useful in changing the basis of social representations and may contribute to the construction of a realistic image of both the profession and the professional identity. The research involved 88 students enrolled in a graduate program in clinical psychology. Before and after th…
The use of EduBlog in initial teachers training: an experience of a teaching innovation project
2020
Digital technologies are central elements of today's society. In this context to achieve an adequate degree of development of Digital Competence for professional performance is essential, as well as for life in society and the exercise of citizenship.

That need is exacerbated in the case of initial teacher training, not only because of the progress towards a digitalized school, but also because of the fundamental role in the training of future generations. With the aim of promoting the development of Digital Teaching Competence, this paper presents an innovatio…

Teaching was seen as transferring knowledge and skills, supporting the active processing of knowledge, supporting transformation of conceptions, supporting holistic personal growth and building a learning community with the students. The teaching was reflected through five themes: the nature of the knowledge, the source of the knowle…
