Institutional and Affective Practices of Domestic Violence Interventions in Social Work: Malignant Positioning of Victims
2020
This chapter investigates the institutional and affective practices of domestic violence (DV) interventions in Finnish social work. It examines the expression of social workers’ emotions related to intervening in DV and how these expressions result in the positioning of clients. Encountering and intervening in DV is often challenging; ideological presumptions, conceptions, gender-neutral discussions and misrecognition of violence affect institutional arrangements and practices, and the ways in which professionals feel about and respond to violence. We utilise positioning theory to analyse social workers’ focus group interview data (n = 20). We consider (1) how emotions expressed by social w…

Ground-Mounted Photovoltaic and Crop Cultivation: A Comparative Analysis
2022
Human civilization depends on energy sources, mainly fossil fuels. An increase in the prices of fossil fuels and their exhaustibility limit economic growth. Carbon dioxide emission causes global environmental problems. Global crises (including COVID-19) have sharpened food and energy supply problems. The decentralized energy supply systems as well as the expedition of the application of renewable energy may solve these challenges. The economic shift to renewable power generation intensifies the competition between food crop production and green energy for land. This paper applied an open-source spatial-based model to quantify the solar power generation (the ground-mounted photovoltaic panel…
Kupan kehto. Prostituutio kansanterveydellisenä ongelmana 1800-luvun wieniläisten lääketieteilijöiden kirjoituksissa
2018
Järjestelmiä prostituution säätelemiseksi luotiin 1800-luvulla ympäri Eurooppaa. Wienissä prostituution säätely aloitettiin yli vuosikymmenen jatkuneiden debattien jälkeen vuonna 1873. Julkisen siveellisyyden suojelun ohella prostituoitujen rekisteröintiin ja säännöllisiin terveystarkastuksiin perustuneen säätelyjärjestelmän tavoitteena oli sukupuolitautien, erityisesti kupan, ennaltaehkäisy. Lääketieteilijöillä oli keskeinen rooli sekä säätelystä käydyssä julkisessa keskustelussa että sen käytännön toteutuksessa. Tämä artikkeli tutkii prostituutioon ympäri Eurooppaa kohdistunutta lääketieteellistä ongelmanmäärittelyä ja kontrollia tarkastelemalla wieniläislääkäreiden sekä wieniläisten lääk…
Servicios Sociales, derechos de ciudadanía y atención centrada en la persona
2011
Tras treinta años de implantación y desarrollo de los servicios sociales en España, nos encontramos en un momento trascendental para el futuro de este sistema, donde los servicios sociales pueden salir de la situación de fragilidad actual, y convertirse en un sistema similar al sanitario o educativo, basado en normas que establecen derechos subjetivos. Por otro lado, la paulatina incorporación de la cultura de la calidad y los nuevos conceptos de calidad de vida, junto con la consideración de estos servicios como de interés general pueden hacer que los servicios sociales del siglo XXI, desplieguen un mayor protagonismo en una situación de crisis económica como la actual, con un papel más re…
The Brand-Land Identity of Etna Volcano Valley Wines: A Policy Delphi Study
2022
This is the first study on the brand–land link for quality wines with a strong identity produced in extreme territories using the Policy Delphi methodology. The objective of this study is to assess the existence of a relationship between the wine brand and the territory of origin for wines produced in the Etna valley in Sicily (southern Italy). Awareness among producers and stakeholders of the recognizability of local wines by the market was investigated. Moreover, the forecasts/reliability, issues/importance, options/feasibility, and goals/desirability of development factors for wines with a brand–land link in the Etna valley were analyzed. The results were used to design a mod…

Design per il settore pubblico
2021
Il settore pubblico è uno dei nuovi terreni di sperimentazione per l’attività dei designer che si confrontano con le sfide della realtà contemporanea. Alla luce dei cambiamenti sociali, culturali, poli- tici ed economici in atto, le istituzioni governative hanno iniziato a mostrare il proprio interesse verso una serie di approcci ispirati al design da applicare nella definizione di strategie innovative in grado di favorire l’implementazione di politiche adeguate ai nuovi bisogni espressi dalla società. Le esperienze progettuali raccolte e descritte in questo paper testimoniano il successo dei risultati ottenuti dalla collaborazione tra designer e pubbliche amministra- zioni, definendo così …
Nordic Higher Education in Flux: System Evolution and Reform Trajectories
2019
AbstractThis chapter provides a brief description of how the four national systems included in this study—Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden—are currently organised and structured. In doing so, it illuminates several specific features such as the types and sizes of the institutions, enrolment patterns, performance measures, and funding. In addition, the chapter gives a snapshot of how higher education systems have evolved historically by shedding light on policy dynamics from the late 1990s to 2013, the baseline period for the FINNUT comparative study, the research project that provides the basis for this edited volume. This is followed by a section describing the aim, methods, theoretica…
