2021
Obiettivi La pandemia di COVID-19 ha modificato le strategie assistenziali in modo radicale. Le necessità di distanziamento sociale hanno condizionato l’accesso alle cure ospedaliere, con il rischio che i pazienti cronici, più vulnerabili, venissero gestiti con inadeguata interazione con le famiglie e i pediatri di famiglia (PdF), con gravi ritardi diagnostici e terapeutici. Metodi Un questionario con 10 domande sulla gestione dei pazienti con ipotiroidismo congenito (IC) è stato inviato ai PdF della regione Sicilia (Palermo, Agrigento, Trapani, Enna, Caltanissetta, Siracusa). Risultati Hanno risposto 55 PdF che seguono da 2 a 3 pazienti con IC, con prevalenza più elevata in aree ad alta en…
Effects of prison work programmes on the employability of ex-prisoners
2014
This paper presents the results of a study that links information from the prison system with information from the Spanish Social Security System in order to study the employability of former inmates of prisons in Catalonia, Spain. Few studies of this type have been carried out in the world and this is the first in Spain. The results show that 43.6 percent of ex-prisoners find a job after serving their sentence, but their integration in the labour market tends to be fragile, confirming that it is a very vulnerable group. It was also found that prison work has a favourable effect on employability and that vocational training has a lesser or no effect. Fil: Alós, Ramon. Universitat Autònoma d…
Sturzo multitasker : dalle opere economico-sociali alla rete politica
2020
L'articolo esamina il multiforme impegno di Sturzo partendo da un terminus a quo che è rappresentato dagli anni ’90 dell’800, anni della sua formazione filosofica, di cattolico intransigente, d’insegnante in seminario, propagandista dell’Opera dei Congressi, organizzatore di comitati parrocchiali e di casse rurali, anni dell’impegno nel mondo del giornalismo cattolico. Il terminus ad quem è fissato, invece, al 1905, anno del noto discorso di Caltagirone (24 dicembre), dei primi, significativi, successi del partito municipale – che ebbe la sua carta programmatica nella relazione al convegno di Caltanissetta (1902) -, anni dell’inizio del suo impegno come pro-sindaco di Caltagirone, di quelle…
THE DYNAMICS OF LEARNING AND NEGATIVE EMOTION IN WORKPLACE CONFLICT
Research Aim This study uses a systemic approach to explore the dynamics of learning and negative emotion in workplace intraorganisational conflict. Our dynamic hypothesis was that the endogenous dynamics between the level of intraorganisational conflict and the levels of learning and negative emotion, which are accumulating in the organisation as by-products of conflict, are causing the conflict level to oscillate. Methods A systematic literature review identified two problematic, “Undesired” or “Feared” patterns of intraorganisational conflict development over time (Group Disintegration, Groupthink), and one “Desired” pattern of moderate conflict level (Cohesion and Resilience), which com…

Design of a safety training package for migrant workers in the construction industry
2021
Abstract The construction sector is known as a high-risk sector with many safety challenges. It is also characterised by a large number of migrant workers and these workers report higher accident rates than native workers. This paper presents the design of the CSTP (Construction Safety Training Programme). The CSTP is a theory-based training program aimed at improving safety behaviours in construction sites acknowledging the particular challenges migrant workers face. Based on second and third generational models of training, we developed a training program that addresses the challenges faced by migrant workers in the construction industry, namely language and cultural barriers, times press…
The Multilevel Model in the Computer-Generated Appraisal: A Case in Palermo
2017
The construction of a mass appraisal model requires the preliminary study of the real estate market, the sampling of sold properties, the development of a forecasting model and the verification of the appraisal results. They are generally computerised methods, that work with geo-referenced data. This experimental work has proceeded to build a mass appraisal model, collecting a data sample of sales of apartments in the city of Palermo, in the five years 2008–2012, using a multivariate statistical model (multilevel), testing the results and providing the operating applications in a scheme of online real estate valuations.
