SOIGNER AUX FRONTIÈRES : REGARD PSYCHODYNAMIQUE SUR LE QUOTIDIEN TRAUMATIQUE DES SOIGNANTS/RÉFUGIÉS
2017
Les soignants d’hôpitaux habitant et travaillant aux frontières turco-syriennes sont aussi des migrants ou des réfugiés syriens. Comme la population sinistrée, ils exercent leur activité professionnelle au rythme de la guerre et nécessitent également un accompagnement. Dans le cadre de l’Unité psychosociale d’une ONG internationale, un soutien psychologique en visio-conférence est proposé aux soignants en Syrie et en Turquie. Cet article propose un commentaire et une réflexion clinique sur le quotidien de ces soignants, leur santé mentale, ainsi que sur leurs mécanismes de survie psychiques, groupaux et culturels. Quatre vignettes cliniques sont commentées et discutées pour comprendre la co…
Climate Resilience Pathways of Rural Households. Evidence from Ethiopia
2018
This paper explores the resilience capacity of rural Ethiopian households after the drought shock occurred in 2011. The work develops an original empirical framework able to capture the policy and socio-economic determinants of households’ resilience capacity by making parametric statistical assumption on the resilience distribution. To this end, the analysis employs a two-wave representative panel dataset aligned with detailed weather records while controlling for a large set of household- and community-level characteristics. The analysis shows that the majority of these factors affects significantly resilience capacity only in the group of households affected by the drought shock, suggest…
Resilienza e adattamento: definizioni, modelli e sfide progettuali
2015
Il concetto di 'città resiliente' è emerso negli ultimi decenni in risposta alle nuove sfide che le città sono chiamate ad affrontare, sfide poste dalla crisi economica e sociale, dalla scarsità delle risorse, dal rischio ambientale, dai cambiamenti climatici. Ma una città resiliente, prima ancora che reagire ai mutamenti climatici, sociali o economici, è in grado di prevenire le crisi, o di sfruttarle come 'opportunità'. Il contributo intende indagare i campi d’azione e gli strumenti della resilienza urbana a partire dai significati che emergono dalla letteratura e dal dibattito disciplinare, e fornire una prima analisi di alcune esperienze di formazione di strategie e piani di adattamento…
Resilience between mitigation and adaptation
2020
The relation between architecture and time is the subject of two papers. The first illustrates the variations this relationship can make on the notion of resilience, applying it to architectural design and current experimentations of Design for Disassembly. The second focuses on the important subject of population ageing and on the need to study and develop forward-looking forms of a sustainable elderly-friendly living environment in Bulgaria, suggesting potential directions for future development in the context of a resilient society. Finally, the book includes an essay dealing with the importance of new digital technologies in the transition towards a resilient and sustainable city: the d…
PUBLIC POLICY PLANNING TO ENHANCE THE RESILIENCE OF SOCIO-ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS TO CLIMATE CHANGE: OPERATIONALIZING RESILIENCE CONCEPTS FROM A DYNAMIC P…
This study outlines a system dynamic based approach to the planning for resilience in food systems to climate change. The processes described and the insights gained are novel in the literature since they focus on describing operational aspects of resilience that can be generalized to multiple contexts and problems. On the one hand, the process described offers an aid for researchers and practitioners operationalizing resilience in public sector settings. Simultaneously, the insights gained from multiple stakeholder discussions and modelling work open new questions regarding the general mechanisms driving resilience in food systems. Climate change is threatening the extent to which social, …
Proposte per una rigenerazione urbana ed ecologica
2022
Starting from the definitions of resilience, this paper considers the urgent need for a trans-scalar and transdisciplinary approach to mitigate the errors of the past and to prevent the effects of global climate change. At an urban scale, vegetation performs ecosystem services aimed at urban resilience, thus contributing to increasing the quality of life. It reflected on the results of planning choices made in the past following natural events and we know that today are much worse than the events themselves. Through a case study, the paper illustrates some solutions for urban regeneration that looks at the ecological-environmental component.
Life and economies in neo-Anthropocene: fruitful relationships between research, profession and local cooperation
2017
L’avvicinamento tra luoghi di produzione agricola e città, sempre più frequentemente, contribuisce alla progettazione di azioni coesive per riconfigurare il ciclo virtuoso della cattura della CO2 e della produzione di valori aggiunti “urbani”: diritti irrinunciabili, valore della vita, creatività. Questa tesi, in riferimento alla spinta progettuale ad un neo-Antropocene creativo (cfr. Ronsivalle 2016 e Carta, 2017), si può sostenere negli approcci teorici e metodologici e nella prassi dell’agricoltura urbana nelle sue varie forme. Tuttavia, solo nella costruzione di un quadro economico sostenibile, diventa possibile sviluppare un quadro ecologico utile alla riqualificazione dei sistemi urba…
The circular economy for resilience of the agricultural landscape and promotion of the sustainable agriculture and food systems
2022
The agricultural landscape is a public good to be preserved for long-term socio-economic and environmental effects. The agricultural landscape is preserved by the carrying out of agricultural activities. Through a empirical survey we examined how some young farmers in the countryside adopt conservation and resilience strategies. A common feature of the case studies examined is the adoption of photovoltaic energy production necessary for the performance of business activities. The method applied is that of the opportunity cost. The results of the research show that young farmers after graduation have returned to agriculture as they have an advantage in terms of opportunity costs compared to …
Resilience and Precompetitive Anxiety in swimmers of school age. A descriptive study.
2018
El objetivo de este trabajo fue explorar la influencia que el género, la edad, los años nadando y la resiliencia tienen sobre la ansiedad competitiva en una muestra de nadadores escolares (N=74). La resiliencia fue medida con una adaptación española del CD-RISC, mientras que para medir la ansiedad competitiva se utilizó la versión española del CSAI-2R. También se exploraron los datos sociodemográficos (edad, sexo, años nadando y nivel competitivo). Para el análisis de datos se realizaron pruebas no paramétricas (Kruskal-Wallis y U de Mann Whitney), además de correlación de Pearson. Los resultados mostraron que el género, la edad de los nadadores y los años nadando no guardan relación con lo…
Tensions and resilience: the experiences of adult foster-care workers in Finland
2018
This article examines adult foster care for older people in Finland. This is a semi-formal service in which older people are cared for by foster carers who are remunerated for their work by the local municipality. In the article, the tensions and resources of resilience of foster-care work are analysed. The data consist of 12 thematic interviews with foster carers. The results suggest that foster-care work is emotionally draining and has adverse effects on social relationships. However, foster carers see caring as purposeful, they see themselves as professionals and they have enough social resources.
