International Social Work: Professional Debates about Global and Local Practices

2020

International social work is still a work in progress and an arena with diverse definitions, interpretations, and directions. The international application of social work requires taking a multi-faceted view of the nature of social work and has implications for the international debate on values and ethics; the profession's firm commitment to the principles of human rights and social justice raises many questions about how these values may be perceived differently in relation to cultural and national contexts. The increasing mobility of social workers across national borders, as well as posing challenges in terms of cultural adaptation and sometimes language competences, offers important op…

''Dual'' gravity: Using spatial econometrics to control for multilateral resistance.

2007

We propose a quantity-based `dual' version of the gravity equation that yields an estimating equation with both cross-sectional interdependence and spatially lagged error terms. Such an equation can be concisely estimated using spatial econometric techniques. We illustrate this methodology by applying it to the Canada-U.S. data set used previously, among others, by Anderson and van Wincoop (2003) and Feenstra (2002, 2004). Our key result is to show that controlling directly for spatial interdependence across trade flows, as suggested by theory, significantly reduces border effects because it captures `multilateral resistance'. Using a spatial autoregressive moving average specification, we …

Ewa Korzeniowska jako matka - strażniczka ogniska domowego. Wychowanie w kresowej rodzinie szlacheckiej na ziemiach polskich pod zaborami w okresie m…

2015

W artykule przedstawiam portret Ewy Korzeniowskiej, matki Josepha Conrada oraz siostry Tadeusza Bobrowskiego, na której życie osobiste (podobnie jak na życie wielu kresowych szlachcianek) przemożny wpływ miała historia. Polityka, jaką Rosja carska stosowała wobec Polaków, którzy ośmielili się marzyć o niepodległości w sposób dramatyczny naznaczyła całe jej życie. Z jej korespondencji oraz przekazu bliskich jej osób wyłania się portret prawdziwej matki Polki oddanej swojej rodzinie i ojczyźnie.

Borderline Personality in Patients with Poly-Diagnoses Treated for a Bipolar Disorder

2019

Some patients with dysphoria, explosive behaviour, or suicidal ideation, may receive a diagnosis of, and treatment for Bipolar Disorder (BD) and, not infrequently. The coexistence of these two diagnoses has been explained in different ways. Some authors include the BPD in the bipolar spectrum; others are sceptical about the existence of real comorbidity, suggesting a misdiagnosis. This study aimed to assess the personality of this group of poly-diagnosed patients (PolyD) and hypothesised they had a pathological borderline organisation. Via the administration of the Schedler Westen Assessment Procedure (SWAP-200), we compared PolyD patients with those suffering from BPD or BD only. We perfor…

An Analysis of a Single Case of Comorbidity between Learning Disability and Borderline Intellectual Functioning

2012

Abstract In this study we explored a case of comorbidity between DSA and Borderline Intellectual Functioning. The girl was fourteen years old, ninth grade of school in Palermo, with significant learning difficulties. Two interviews were conducted, one with parents and one with teachers, to investigate the history of the girl's learning. In the pre-test phase the following cognitive areas were investigated: Q.I. (Level of Intelligence), decoding ability, reading comprehension and writing skills. Motivational-emotional profile was also evaluated: school motivation, self-handicapping strategies, self esteem and school anxiety. To assess these cognitive areas we used: Reading Comprehension Test…

The prevalence and predictors of bipolar and borderline personality disorders comorbidity: Systematic review and meta-analysis

2016

Introduction Data about the prevalence of borderline personality (BPD) and bipolar (BD) disorders comorbidity are scarce and the boundaries remain controversial. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis investigating the prevalence of BPD in BD and BD in people with BPD. Methods Two independent authors searched MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO and the Cochrane Library from inception till November 4, 2015. Articles reporting the prevalence of BPD and BD were included. A random effects meta-analysis and meta-regression were conducted. Results Overall, 42 papers were included: 28 considering BPD in BD and 14 considering BD in BPD. The trim and fill adjusted analysis demonstrated the prevale…

Introduction. Social Work with newcomers: entering into the field

2021

For about thirty years, Sicily has assumed the role of a gateway from Africa to Europe, acting as a bridge between cultures, ethnic groups and religions. When we talk about immigration in Sicily, therefore, we are referring to a structural reality, which the island's inhabitants have generally accepted with a sense of hospitality and openness. It is an interesting observation point from which it is possible to look at the social and political implications generated by immigration movements in the understanding of contemporary migration phenomena.

"Czytano je z zajęciem, a często ze wzruszeniem" : o zapomnianych powieściach Hanny Krzemienieckiej

2019

Janina née Bobińska Furs-Żyrkiewiczowa (1866–1930) is a forgotten author of works documenting the life of the Polish landed gentry and the intelligentsia in Russian Ukraine at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Her three novels – Fatum. Studium psychologiczne (1904). A gdy odejdzie w przepaść wieczną… Romans zagrobowy (1906), Lecą wichry!( 1921) – in an interesting way they combine conventions of moral realism, decadent and lyrical atmosphere of modernism and the traditions of the “Ukrainian school” of Polish Romantic poetry (the writer was related to B. Zaleski). The prose of Krzemieniecka, the wife of a Pole and a high-ranking Russian officer, contains many autobiographical themes a…
