Identità professionale, genere e servizio sociale in ottica internazionale
2016
Il servizio sociale è un lavoro generalmente declinato al femminile. Ciò è un solido dato di realtà riscontrabile in più Paesi, anzi appare come uno stato di cose quasi “universale”, nonostante ciascun Stato abbia costruito nei secoli un Welfare State a misura della sua situazione politica interna e delle sue scelte di politica sociale. Altro dato di realtà è che la preponderanza del genere femminile in questa professione pare talmente “nell’ordine naturale delle cose” da non essere quasi oggetto né di riflessione né di approfondimento, né tantomeno di attenzione nella formazione. Questo si può riscontrare nella letteratura di più Paesi europei e non (Svizzera, Francia, UK, Canada, Belgio, …
Video display terminal use and dry eye: preventive measures and future perspectives
2022
Background: Dry eye disease (DED) is a common cause of ocular pain and discomfort. Dry eye disease (DED) stems from a loss-of-tear film homeostasis and is frequently seen in video display terminal (VDT) users. Video display terminal (VDT) use reduces blink rates and increases incomplete blinks, leading to tear film instability and ocular inflammation, promoting DED. Purpose: To assess and evaluate the methods for preventing VDT-associated DED and ocular discomfort. Methods: Studies were found using PubMed and Embase with the search terms: (digital visual terminal* OR computer use OR screen use OR smartphone OR display OR visual display terminal* OR computer vision syndrome OR tablet OR phon…
General support versus individual work support: a qualitative study of social workers and therapists in collaboration meetings within individual plac…
2020
This study aims to increase understanding of how social workers and therapists contribute to cooperation meetings within the individual placement and support intervention. The individual placement and support model of supported employment is expanding worldwide. Although several quantitative studies have shown this model`s effect, the need for qualitative studies on collaboration within this intervention is evident. The individual placement and support fidelity manual presents clear expectations to the social workers and therapist in the cooperation. Still, few previous studies investigate how these expectations are met in praxis. This study draws on sixteen collaboration meetings, recorded…
Islands of Fire. Stromboli in the documentary by Vittorio De Seta
2020
The present contribution is based on the methodological approach and on the typical objectives of cultural geography that sees the cultural work as an important source to read the territorial and landscape contexts. Through this paper we then want to critically report about the 1954 short documentary Isole di Fuoco (Islands of Fire), awarded in Cannes, that the director Vittorio De Seta mainly shot on the volcanic island of Stromboli, in Sicily, during an eruption occurred in 1954.
A ‘Fortuitous’ Imagination. Josef Frank. Thirteen Fantasy Houses for Dagmar Grill
2017
Between 22 July and 15 August 1947 Josef Frank wrote thirteen letters to Dagmar Grill, cousin of his wife, met in 1914 in Stockholm. The letters contain several hypothesis for an ideal house to be built in Skargarden, an archipelago to the east of Stockholm, where Dagmar Grill lived. Every letter contains sketches and schemes for an imaginary house. The thirteen projects refer to identical functional needs, but differ each other in shape and size. Although they are “fantasy” houses, the sketches refer to a real imaginative exercise rather than to a simple figurative/compositional exercise.
Soil Erosion on Mountain Trails in Eastern Iberian Peninsula
2020
A review on trial erosion shows that soil erosion rates are one to three orders of magnitude higher than the ones recommended as sustainable. This is threatening the sustainable managements of mountain terrains, mainly in the popular hiking paths. The warm temperatures characterize Eastern Spain in winter, which results in visitors from northern Europe to walk in the coastal land mountainous terrain. This increases the pressure to the currently highly visited most popular paths. We selected representative transects of the trails of Serra de Bérnia, Puigcampana, Penyagolosa, Montcabré, Serra del Sit, Aitana, Les Tres Creus, Caroig, Cupurutxo and Circ de la Safor. All the selected study sites…
Nuevos caminos, territorio y paisaje en la Comarca de la Costera (Valencia). La mirada de los viajeros
2019
Por sus condiciones físicas, el valle de la Costera ha sido históricamente un lugar de paso obligado en el itinerario que, desde la llanura litoral valenciana, se dirige al sur y al centro peninsular. A finales del siglo XVIII se construye una moderna carretera y a mediados del XIX entra en servicio el ferrocarril entre Madrid y Valencia. En este trabajo analizamos la relación que se establece entre los caminos y el paisaje, y cómo esta se ha reflejado en los escritos que los viajeros que, entre finales del siglo XVIII y a lo largo de todo el siglo XIX, recorrieron por carretera y ferrocarril el valle de la Costera. Sus relatos integran estas modernas obras públicas con la visión secuencial…
HRM models of online labor platforms : Strategies of market and corporate logics
2023
Studies on online labor platforms (OLPs) have revealed that OLPs can have extensive managerial control over independent workers, which affects their autonomy and precariousness. The permeability of the management makes some OLPs' roles as neutral intermediaries in labor exchanges questionable. While there are several platform work studies on the effects of human resource management (HRM) activities, earlier studies have focused more on certain types of OLP companies. Earlier OLP classifications did not make systematic distinctions between HRM activities either. This paper offers a classification to view how HRM activities manifest in OLPs. The study utilizes terms of service and webpage dat…
Franciszkańska kuracja Serca Pana Jezusa w Gliwicach w latach 1925–1945
2016
Artykuł jest kontynuacją międzywojennej historii gliwickich franciszkanów i genezy powstania samodzielnej jednostki kościelnej w tzw. dzielnicy hutniczej, zamieszczonym w tomie 35 „Studiów Teologiczno-Historycznych Śląska Opolskiego” z 2015 r. Autor tym razem przybliża historię kuracji Serca Pana Jezusa w Gliwicach w latach 1925–1945. Od czasu jej ustanowienia gliwiccy franciszkanie prowadzili w tamtejszej dzielnicy hutniczej ożywioną pracę duszpasterską. Jej główne działania ukierunkowane były nie tylko na sprawowanie sakramentów, ale także na działalność społeczną wśród rodzin robotniczych. Po przybliżeniu statusu kuracji jako jednostki kościelnej, omówiono sylwetki duszpasterzy oraz wska…
