Mutual learning: exploring collaboration, knowledge and roles in the development of recovery-oriented services. A hermeneutic-phenomenological study
2021
ABSTRACT Purpose The concept of recovery is commonly described as multifaceted and contested in the field of mental health and substance abuse. The aim of this study is to explore how understandings of recovery and recovery orientation of services are developed through daily practices and collaboration between service users and professionals. Methods Eight pairs of participants were interviewed together, in accordance with the dyadic interview method. The dyads/pairs consisted of service users and professional helpers. A collaborative hermeneutic-phenomenological analysis was used to analyse data. Results Data were analysed into three overarching and entangled themes, exploring how recovery…
Nothing matters: the significance of the unidentifiable, the superficial and nonsense
2019
ABSTRACT Purpose: The aim of this study is to explore the ways in which “small things” may be of importance for people with mental health difficulties. Method: Empirical material from three different studies was reanalysed through a phenomenological, dialogical, approach. Results: We discovered some paradoxical aspects of small things: i.e., they could be about “something” that was difficult or even impossible to identify. The unidentifiable could be about bodily, sensual experiences that are superficial (i.e., belonging to the surface). The interaction with others highlighted as significant could be about doing something fun, talking nonsense or kidding around, and hence not at all about m…
The meaning of dignity in nursing home care as seen by relatives
2014
Background: As part of an ongoing Scandinavian project on the dignity of care for older people, this study is based on ‘clinical caring science’ as a scientific discipline. Clinical caring science examines how ground concepts, axioms and theories are expressed in different clinical contexts. Central notions are caring culture, dignity, at-home-ness, the little extra, non-caring cultures versus caring cultures and ethical context – and climate. Aim and assumptions: This study investigates the individual variations of caring cultures in relation to dignity and how it is expressed in caring acts and ethical contexts. Three assumptions are formulated: (1) the caring culture of nursing homes inf…
Overionization in X-ray spectra: a new paradigm for Mixed-Morphology SNRs
2011
Mixed-morphology SNRs are characterized by a shell-like radio emission, a centrally peaked X-ray morphology, and by interaction with molecular clouds. Many models have been proposed to explain these peculiar remnants, but their physical origin is still unclear. The recent discovery of over-ionized (i. e. recombining) ejecta in 3 mixed-morphology SNRs has dramatically challenged all the previous models and opened up new, unexpected scenarios. I review the main properties of these remnants and their peculiar X-ray spectral properties. I also discuss the hydrodynamic model developed to explain the presence of over-ionized ejecta in W49B and present a list of open issues that still need to be c…
Modélisation numérique d’impacts à hautes vitesses par la méthode sans maillage Smoothed Particles Hydrodynamics. Application aux micro-impacts dans …
2021
Investigations on the ballistic behaviours of soft tissue materials are significant research in a medical and pharmaceutical framework. They mainly focus on particles penetrating or traveling into the soft materials. For instance, in the needle-free drug delivery, the micro-scale particles as drug powders are injected into skin with high velocity, and several factors should be considered such as the particle diameters, trajectories, and momentum or velocities of projectile in this process. There have been investigated by some experiments, but there is still no study from the numerical insights.The numerical methods are suitable to study these kinds of processes. Although grid-based methods …
Formacion competencial para la intervención comunitaria = Competency-based training in community work
2012
Los nuevos problemas sociales se focalizan hoy en sectores que caen en el espacio de la vulnerabilidad de forma sobrevenida y que pueden convertirse en situaciones permanentes. Consideramos que las respuestas activas desde las profesiones sociales deben articularse en contextos de derechos individuales frente a la justicia social, la competitividad frente a la equidad y la inmediatez frente a la sostenibilidad. Por ello es pertinente formar en el ámbito universitario en la capacidad de articular conocimientos, reflexión y sistematización de la experiencia profesional y en posicionamientos éticos que permitan desarrollar un saber intuitivo desde el punto de vista profesional, en relación a l…
How Enlightenment is taught in Higher Education? An analysis of textbooks, their contents and gender
2017
Con el presente artículo tratamos de analizar cómo se enseña y cómo se ha enseñado el movimiento ilustrado en las aulas de secundaria de nuestro país, a través del estudio de algunos materiales curriculares de 2.º de Bachillerato correspondientes a la asignatura de Historia de España. Estos han sido elaborados en distintos momentos, los últimos años del periodo de vigencia de la Ley de Ordenación General del Sistema Educativo (1990) y en el marco de la actual Ley Orgánica para la Mejora de la Calidad Educativa (2013). Nuestro objetivo es tratar averiguar si las innovaciones aportadas por la historiografía más reciente sobre la Ilustración se han trasladado o no a los mismos. También si esto…
Critical Studies on Men in Ten European Countries: (1) The State of Academic Research
2002
This article is on the work of the European Research Network on Men in Europe project, “The Social Problem and Societal Problematization of Men and Masculinities” (2000-2003), funded by the European Commission. The Network comprises women and men researchers with a range of disciplinary backgrounds from Estonia, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Norway, Poland, the Russian Federation, and the United Kingdom. The Network's initial focus is on men's relations to home and work, social exclusion, violence, and health. Some of the findings on the Network's fourth phase of work, namely the review of newspaper and media representations of men's practices in the ten countries, are presented…
