Este artículo tiene como objetivo describir la información que divulgan los gobiernos centrales de los países de la Alianza del Pacifico (AP), y los roles que estos asumieron en la promoción de la Responsabilidad Social (RS) mediante los informes de rendición de cuentas que fueron presentados por los presidentes de gobierno en el año 2017.

Socioemotional characteristics of minors in foster care: A comparison between the estimation of parents, teachers and children
2013
Abstract During the child's first few years, it's of fundamental importance the presence of a strong emotional base as long as it creates the possibility to open themselves to physical and social world with confidence, and as it acts as a facilitator of cognitive development. For this reason, if the family cannot ensure such base, social services are forced to resort to foster care, a resource that has a lot of difficulties, leading to different implications in the development of the child and of the foster family. It is therefore important to analyze in depth the socio-emotional variables that characterize children who are in a situation of foster care in order to provide adequate assistan…
Training Career Practitioners for the Current Context
2019
Training programs for career practitioners continue to increase in both quantity and quality. For example, international opportunities for those interested in career development facilitator training have increased substantially during the past decade. In this chapter we provide highlights of these developments as they have occurred throughout the world. The chapter details the substantial variability that exists regarding the training career practitioners receive. Finally, we make recommendations regarding minimal training standards and the need for more uniform language within our profession.
Tensions and Paradoxes of Scaling Up : A Critical Reflection on Physical Activity Promotion
2022
Background: Achieving system-level, sustainable ‘scale-up’ of interventions is the epitome of successful translation of evidence-based approaches in population health. In physical activity promotion, few evidence-based interventions reach implementation at scale or become embedded within systems for sustainable health impact. This is despite the vast published literature describing efficacy studies of small-scale physical activity interventions. Research into physical activity scale-up (through case-study analysis; evaluations of scale-up processes in implementation trials; and mapping the processes, strategies, and principles for scale-up) has identified barriers and facilitato…
Facilitators, teachers, observers, and play partners : Exploring how mothers describe their role in play activities across three communities
2019
The present study explored the perspectives of mothers from three communities regarding their role in play activities with their toddlers. The mothers of two-year-old children from Muenster, Germany (n = 34), Chennai, India (n = 36), and New York City, USA (n = 36), participated in the study. Qualitative content analysis was utilized to analyze the mothers' responses to semi-structured interview questions. Four roles were identified as characterizing the mothers' narratives, namely mothers as facilitators, teachers, play partners, or observers. The goal of facilitator was to support children's autonomy; teachers often described educational learning goals; and play partners and observers hig…
Clients’ Experiences With Internet-Based Psychological Treatments for Mental Disorders: Protocol for a Metasynthesis of Qualitative Studies
2018
Background: Given the rise of internet-based treatments as an effective therapeutic tool for psychological disorders, it is necessary to carry out research that examines clients’ experiences with this type of intervention. The qualitative methodology has been found to be useful for analyzing clients’ perceptions in terms of facilitators and barriers, acceptability, and negative effects of internet-based treatments. However, a lack of integration of these primary studies has prevented their findings from being applied to new research and in clinical practice. Objective: The objective of this paper is to describe the protocol for a metasynthesis of qualitative studies exploring the experience…

L'assistenza umanitaria delle ONG sotto inchiesta
2022
Lo scorso giugno, l’Agenzia dell’Unione europea per i diritti fondamentali (FRA) ha pubblicato il consueto aggiornamento semestrale sulle operazioni di Search and Rescue (SAR) nel Mediterraneo. Il documento evidenza le difficoltà di condurre le operazioni di salvataggio da parte delle imbarcazioni delle ONG, molte delle quali sono state (e continuano ad essere) sottoposte a procedimenti giudiziari e fermi amministrativi nelle giurisdizioni degli Stati membri dell’UE. Nel quadro del contrasto al traffico di migranti, infatti, è ormai impellente una riforma del Facilitator Package quantomeno nel senso di vietare agli Stati membri di criminalizzare l’attività di assistenza umanitaria delle ONG…
