Media/Digital Competence. The European and Italian Definition
2016
In 2007, the European Union Commission issued a Communication titled A European approach to media literacy in the digital environment where media literacy is clearly defined as “the ability to access the media, to understand and to critically evaluate different aspects of the media and media contents and to create communications in a variety of contexts” (European Commission, 2007: 3). This paper discusses this definition and present the Italian way to it.
DETECTING FALLS AT HOME: USER-CENTERED DESIGN OF A PERVASIVE TECHNOLOGY
2016
Falling is the main cause of domestic accidents and fatal injuries to seniors at home. In this paper, we describe the design process for a new pervasive technology (CIRDO). The aim of this technology is to detect falls (via audio and video sensors) and to alert the elderly's family or caregivers. Two complementary studies were performed. Firstly, the actual risk situations of older adults were analyzed. Secondly, social acceptance was investigated for the different homecare field stakeholders. Our results highlight the tensions among social actors towards the tool and their impacts on technology acceptance by the elderly. Also, we show a significant change in the fall process due to the dev…

An examination of the views of young people in the Romanian residential care system regarding their relationship with biological family members and t…
2017
ABSTRACTThis paper reports findings from research conducted in six Romanian residential care homes. The aim of the paper is to examine the views held by young people, currently living in residential care, about the importance of their biological families and the option and challenge of reintegration. The data reflect the ideas and perspectives of 44 young people captured through a narrative interview approach using social mapping activities. The results indicate that most children and young people know at least one birth parent and maintain contact on their own initiative; most do not place a high level of importance on such relationships which are generally characterised by lack of confide…
Fidelity and influencing factors in the Systemic Practice Model of children's social care in Finland
2020
Given that multiple countries have recently adopted social work practice models in children’s services, it is striking that only a few studies have systematically analysed both the level of fidelity and potential implementation barriers and facilitators. The aim of this study is to provide an in-depth analysis of how and why the Reclaiming Social Work (RSW) model works in different settings. The study context was the implementation in Finland of an adaptation of the model, the Systemic Practice Model (SPM). This mixed-methods study evaluates 1) fidelity to the SPM and 2) the possible influencing factors. The results reveal high variability in the extent of fidelity in 23 implementation site…
Privāto meža īpašumu kopīga apsaimniekošana
2019
Kopīgu resursu pazīmju (robežas ir sarežģīti nosakāmas ekosistēmās un resursi ir izgūstami jeb pastāv konkurence resursu patēriņā) dēļ ilgtspējīga meža apsaimniekošana ir kopīga meža apsaimniekošana, kas nozīmē kooperēšanos jeb praktisku sadarbību saimnieciskajā darbībā, bet plašākā nozīmē – apsaimniekošanā iesaistīto aģentu sadarbību. Promocijas darba mērķis ir izzināt privāto meža resursu kopīgas apsaimniekošanas veicinošos un kavējošos faktorus Latvijā tās dažādās organizatoriskās izpausmēs un tīklos (nevalstiskās organizācijas, meža īpašnieku kooperatīvi, baznīca, ģimenes kooperēšanās u.c. gadījumos). Mērķa sasniegšanā risināti divi uzdevumi. Pirmkārt, izvērtēt kā socioloģiski jaunā vei…
Linking teacher formative assessment with professional development: Comparative study of Latvia, Finland and California
2022
Promocijas darbā veikta fenomenoloģiska analīze par praksēm un to pieredzēm saistībā ar skolotāju formatīvo vērtēšanu un tās iespējamo saikni ar profesionālo pilnveidi Latvijā, Somijā un Kalifornijā, ASV. Šīs pieredzes un prakses fenomenoloģiskā analīze ir balstīta uz starpnozaru atziņām, kas gūtas no organizāciju attīstības literatūras un izglītības zinātniskās literatūras. Tiek piedāvāti teorētiski modeļi, lai analizētu pastāvošo organizāciju attīstības praksi, ņemot vērā nepieciešamību sasaistīt skolotāju vērtēšanu ar profesionālo pilnveidi. Tika intervētas trīs informantu grupas - skolotāji, skolas vadība un izglītības eksperti (N=70) trīs izglītības sistēmās, lai no šo informantu persp…
Cuando el exceso de protección se convierte en un problema: factores globales que inciden en el desarrollo de riesgos en los adolescentes
2014
El presente artículo, reflexiona en torno al hecho común y cada vez más representativo sobre cómo adolescentes, que proceden de entornos familiares socialmente ajustados y envueltos en garantías, acaban siendo protagonistas de prácticas de riesgo que derivan en su propio deterioro. Podemos afirmar, que los nuevos tiempos amparados en las garantías de la globalización, han logrado adiestrar a estos nuevos adolescentes acomodados, socializados en espacios de bienestar, preservados ante cualquier contingencia y vacunados contra las inercias de la exclusión. Como decimos, los adolescentes viven con mucha protección y muchas posibilidades, pero estas garantías no evitan los problemas. Así, algun…

Bullying among peers in schools is a growing problem affecting children and adolescents from an early age worldwide. The consequences of bullying victimization in the emotional development of children and youth and their academic achievement are adverse for them and the rest of the school community, with its negative impact extending into the mid and long run.
