Surrogacy relationships: a critical interpretative review
2020
Abstract Based on a critical interpretative review of existing qualitative research investigating accounts of ‘lived experience’ of surrogates and intended parents from a relational perspective, this article proposes a typology of surrogacy arrangements. The review is based on the analysis of 39 articles, which belong to a range of different disciplines (mostly sociology, social psychology, anthropology, ethnology, and gender studies). The number of interviews in each study range from as few as seven to over one hundred. Countries covered include Australia, Canada, Greece, India, Iran, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Norway, Russia, Sweden, UK, Ukraine, and the USA. Most studies focus only on surrog…
Analysis of multiple intelligences and creativity in university students
2018
espanolResumen: Un reto de la educacion actual es formar a alumnos competentes para desenvolverse en una sociedad diversa y dinamica. El cociente intelectual no es suficiente para garantizar el exito academico ni profesional (Extremera & Fernandez-Berrocal, 2006) y deben considerarse aspectos cognitivos, sociales y emocionales. El objetivo del estudio fue analizar el grado alcanzado en estudiantes universitarios de trabajo social en las inteligencias multiples, inteligencia emocional, creatividad y rendimiento academico, asi como su relacion y las diferencias en funcion del sexo y el curso en una muestra de 100 estudiantes. Se encontraron diferencias significativas en funcion del curso y re…
Analysis of the Effects of Reservoir Operating Scenarios on Downstream Flood Damage Risk Using an Integrated Monte Carlo Modelling Approach
2023
The aim of this study is to analyse the effects of reservoir operating scenarios, for flood damage evaluation downstream of a dam, using a Monte Carlo bivariate modelling chain. The proposed methodology involves a stochastic procedure to calculate flood hydrographs and the evaluation of the consequent flood inundation area by applying a 2D hydraulic model. These results are used to estimate the inundation risk and, as consequence, the relative damage evaluation under different water level conditions in an upstream reservoir. The modelling chain can be summarized as follows: single synthetic stochastic rainfall event generation by using a Monte Carlo procedure through a bivariate copulas ana…
Efficiency of COVID-19 Testing Centers in Iran: A Data Envelopment Analysis Approach
2022
AbstractObjective:The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficiency of the Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) in managing their nonmonetary resources involved in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) response.Methods:For this purpose, the data envelopment analysis approach was used to measure the efficiency, considering the number of personnel and vehicles and screened passengers as the input and output parameters, respectively. It was examined the efficiency of 10 IRCS’s branches given 17 d of screening operation. For the analysis, the DEA SolverPro software 15a version was used.Results:The results show that only 1 branch had been fully efficient in using the resources, while 5 bra…
Standardization of Road Danger Signs in the European Union
2015
The aim of this research is to find a solution for the standardization of road signs in the EU zone by a comparative analysis of different national sign systems to establish a common set from a single country. This work is based on the idea that road sign standardization might increase the safety level of transnational journeys and foster the relationships among the various members of the EU Community. This paper presents the outcome of the first step of the research, which focuses on the harmonization of danger signs. In more detail, a multicriteria approach is applied to rank 19 EU Member States on the basis of three main aspects: the installation cost of new signs, new sign learning issu…
Informacja w zarządzaniu strategicznym
2016
Istotą zarządzania strategicznego jest zapewnienie bezpieczeństwa państwa w horyzoncie strategicznym. Strategia bezpieczeństwa państwa powinna gwarantować stabilny jego rozwój poprzez klasyczne racjonalne zarządzanie, to znaczy świadome i planowe stosowanie różnych metod i technik, które wpływają na decyzje podejmowane przez instytucje i organizacje państwowe. Informacje, odgrywając rolę niezależnego czynnika w środowisku bezpieczeństwa państwa, stopniowo stają się głównym ogniwem każdego konfliktu. Informacje wpływają na zdolności zarządzania w prowadzonych działaniach, zmniejszają lub zwiększają możliwości.
Szkoła środowiskowa czy szkoła osadzona w środowisku. W poszukiwaniu modelu współpracy midzy środowiskiem lokalnym a szkołą
2016

Servizio sociale e cooperazione allo sviluppo
2013
L’internazionalizzazione dei problemi sociali ha sancito la rottura dei rigidi confini nazionali entro i quali, tradizionalmente, si muovevano le professioni di aiuto e, tra queste, il servizio sociale. L’essere costitutivamente una professione legata alla soddisfazione delle necessità sociali della popolazione e alla promozione del cambiamento sociale ha, difatti, comportato per il servizio sociale l’attivazione e lo sviluppo di percorsi metodologici e operativi in risposta al mutamento sociale in atto nell’ambito delle relazioni internazionali e delle politiche nazionali e internazionali di cooperazione tra i paesi del Nord e quelli del Sud del mondo. The internationalization of social pr…
