Justicia ecológica: la propuesta del Papa Francisco frente a la crisis ambiental
2016
La crisis ecológica ha sido objeto de la atención prioritaria por parte del papa Francisco desde el inicio de su pontificado en 2013 hasta el momento. En mayo de 2015 publicó la Encíclica Laudato si’ sobre el cuidado de la casa común, la primera en el magisterio social de la Iglesia católica íntegramente dedicada a las relaciones del ser humano con la naturaleza. Este trabajo trata de sintetizar los aspectos fundamentales de la enseñanza del papa Francisco sobre la crisis ecológica, que constituye una denuncia profética de la degradación ambiental y la exclusión social que el ser humano está llevando a cabo, y que debe ser combatida con urgencia mediante la conversión personal y la transfor…
Work's discomfort among the nurse profession; the burn-out syndrome
2011
The health care assistance doesn't mean only a productive work based on technology use, but is also involving the woeker's identity, feelings and emotions, towards a satisfaction of relation with customer.

The authors show the results of a study performed on 100 nurses and deputy professionals of two Sicilian hospitals, where a Maslach Burn-Out Inventory (MBI) test was supplied by two nurses coordinators.
Sensitive Screening of New Psychoactive Substances in Serum Using Liquid Chromatography-Quadrupole Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry.
2021
Abstract Analysis of new psychoactive substances (NPS) still poses a challenge for many institutions due to the number of available substances and the constantly changing drug market. Both new and well-known substances keep appearing and disappearing on the market, making it hard to adapt analytical methods in a timely manner. In this study we developed a qualitative screening approach for serum samples by means of liquid chromatography--quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Samples were measured in data-dependent auto tandem mass spectrometry mode and identified by fragment spectra comparison, retention time and accurate mass. Approximately 500 NPS, including 195 synthetic cannabino…
Positivism, Legal Validity, and the Separation of Law and Morals
2014
The essay discusses the import of the separability thesis both for legal positivism and for contemporary legal practice. First, the place of the separability thesis in legal positivism will be explored, distinguishing between “standard positivism” and “post-Hartian positivism.” Then I will consider various kinds of relations between law and morality that are worthy of jurisprudential interest, and explore, from a positivist point of view, what kind of relations between law and morality must be rejected, what kind of such relations should be taken into account, and what kind of such relations are indeed of no import at all. The upshot of this analysis consists in highlighting the distinction…
Dignity in relationships and existence in nursing homes’ cultures
2022
Introduction: Expressions of dignity as a clinical phenomenon in nursing homes as expressed by caregivers were investigated. A coherence could be detected between the concepts and phenomena of existence and dignity in relationships and caring culture as a context. A caring culture is interpreted by caregivers as the meaning-making of what is accepted or not in the ward culture. Background: The rationale for the connection between existence and dignity in relationships and caring culture is that suffering is a part of existence, as well as compassion in relieving suffering, and ontological interdependency. Aim: To describe different expressions of dignity in relationships and existence in co…

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…
