Percorsi della devianza e della diversità. Dall'"uomo atavico" al "senza permesso di soggiorno"
2007
Il volume, oltre a tracciare l’evoluzione dei concetti riconducibili all’ampia fenomenologia delle condotte devianti, ne rintraccia ed evidenzia i processi culturali e sociali che vi fanno da sfondo. Costituendosi come un articolata ed approfondita riflessione sulle teorie dell'agire sociale e sui i modi con cui si determinano le relazioni, il volume si sofferma sulle strategie argomentative e i processi interpretativi con cui i “devianti” – gli stranieri, i “senza fissa dimora”, i “diversi”, i “disoccupati” – costituendo proiettivamente una minaccia all’ordine sociale, sono stati nel tempo individuati, etichettati ed emarginati dalle istituzioni. Ogni capitolo è correlato, oltre che da una…

National Policies that Connect ICT-Based Education Reform to Economic and Social Development
2005
Information and communication technology (ICT) is a principal driver of economic development and social change, worldwide. In many countries, the need for economic and social development is used to justify investments in educational reform and in educational ICT. Yet the connections between national development goals and ICT-based education reform are often more rhetorical than programmatic. This paper identifies the factors that influence economic growth and shows how they supported economic and social development in three national case studies: Singapore, Finland, and Egypt. It describes a systemic framework of growth factors and types of development that can be used to analyze national p…
Between-group competition and human cooperation.
2008
A distinctive feature of human behaviour is the widespread occurrence of cooperation among unrelated individuals. Explaining the maintenance of costly within-group cooperation is a challenge because the incentive to free ride on the efforts of other group members is expected to lead to decay of cooperation. However, the costs of cooperation can be diminished or overcome when there is competition at a higher level of organizational hierarchy. Here we show that competition between groups resolves the paradigmatic ‘public goods’ social dilemma and increases within-group cooperation and overall productivity. Further, group competition intensifies the moral emotions of anger and guilt associated…
Determining Factors of High Social Connotation Crimes in the Metropolitan Region. A logistic model analysis.
2018
Resumen Las iniciativas enfocadas sólo en acciones de control policial, si bien elevan la percepción de seguridad, no actúan sobre las causas multifactoriales de un problema social dinámico y complejo. Por ende, se deben desarrollar medidas de prevención y de control, las que requieren la participación activa, sinérgica y coordinada de todos los actores involucrados en materia de seguridad pública, para disminuir los factores de riesgo que derivan en el actuar criminal. El objetivo de este trabajo es medir la incidencia de factores espaciales, temporales y elementos de contexto que caracterizan a las comunas de la Región Metropolitana de Chile (2014), en la probabilidad de ocurrencia de del…

In order to understand their practice environment and mediation landscape in general, community conflict in South Africa was studied. The findings r…
Utilizing ICT to prevent loneliness and social isolation of the elderly. A literature review
2016
Ageing of the population is a worldwide phenomenon. Numerous ICT-based solutions have been developed for elderly care but mainly connected to the physiological and nursing aspects in services for the elderly. Social work is a profession that should pay attention to the comprehensive wellbeing and social needs of the elderly. Many people experience loneliness and depression in their old age, either as a result of living alone or due to a lack of close family ties and reduced connections with their culture of origin, which results in an inability to participate actively in community activities (Singh & Misra, 2009). Participation in society would enhance the quality of life. With the deve…

40 notas sobre la sociedad de riesgo, fase senil del capitalismo
2002
Si la sociedad del riesgo es la fase senil del capitalismo, entonces la comprensión de los peligros medioambientales que se autoincrementan como una coacción del espacio social (que se puede relacionar con la necesidad de la producción de extraer minusvalor del proceso productivo, esto es, que se puede representar como una fase superior de la coacción del tiempo social, relacionado con la generación de plusvalor) aproxima de modo esencial los movimientos sociales emancipatorios tradicionales, como el sindicalismo, a los denominados nuevos movimientos sociales, como el ecologismo.
