Principi e metodi di intervento sociale nelle catastrofi: il contributo di Lena Dominelli
2016
Il servizio sociale in Italia si sta aprendo all’esperienza e alla riflessione per la costruzione di sapere professionale specifico nell’ambito dell’intervento in emergenza. In altre realtà nazionali ed internazionali, la consapevolezza del ruolo del servizio sociale nelle emergenze è già acquisita da tempo e questa competenza fa parte della formazione ordinaria o comunque di percorsi di specializzazione consolidati. Anche in Italia sta maturando questo cambiamento, pur se in modo ancora diseguale, secondo le specificità territoriali e la messa in rete ancora a macchia di leopardo delle iniziative.

Limits to Arbitrage and Interest Rates: a Debate Between Keynes, Hawtrey and Hicks
2018
International audience; This paper deals with a debate between Hawtrey, Hicks and Keynes concerning the capacity of the central bank to influence the short-term and the long-term rates of interest. Both Hawtrey and Keynes considered the central bank’s ability to influence short-term rates of interest. However, they do not put the same emphasis on the study of the long-term rates of interest. According to Keynes, long-term rates are influenced by future expected short-term rates (1930, 1936), whereas for Hawtrey (1932, 1937, 1938), long-term rates are more dependent on the business cycle. Short-term rates do not have much effect on long-term rates according to Hawtrey. In 1939, Hicks enters …

Possibilities for Intervention in Domestic Violence: Frame Analysis of Health Care Professionals’ Attitudes
2014
ABSTRACT. Violence is a serious problem, and social and health care providers are in a key position for implementing successful interventions.

By using Erving Goffman's frame analysis, this study identifies several frames that either: a) emphasize the obstacles to intervention and justify nonintervention, or on the contrary, b) question these obstacles and find justifications for intervention. The p…
