La integración de la Dependencia en los Servicios Sociales Municipales
2011
La integración de la 'Ley de la Dependencia' en los Servicios Sociales de Base en el Territorio Histórico de Gipuzkoa no ha supuesto ningún descalabro de competencias entre los diferente organismos implicados. Desde hace años la política de atención, primera y única, a los ciudadanos se realiza a través de los Servicios Sociales de Base, donde el ciudadano recibe toda la información y tramita cualquier servicio o prestación de la cartera de servicios y prestaciones existente, aunque la respuesta deba darla la entidad foral. Las solicitudes son enviadas desde las unidades de base al Departamento de Política Social a través de una aplicación informática, agilizando de esta manera la tramitaci…
Politiche, servizi e migranti: questioni aperte sull’integrazione
2017
L’integrazione rappresenta una questione centrale della politica migratoria, in particolare rispetto al riconoscimento di diritti agli stranieri presenti in un territorio, riconoscimento che di fatto, oltre che di diritto, traccia le traiettorie dei migranti e le modalità di inserimento nelle società di accoglienza. Le scelte di politica sociale in questi ultimi anni sembrano andare in una direzione opposta a quella di un welfare universale, nel quale contemperare in modo equo le esigenze di tutte le persone, cittadine o migranti. La scarsità delle risorse disponibili e l’introduzione dei conseguenti meccanismi di preferenza limitano sempre più i possibili beneficiari (attraverso l’inasprim…
The Discursive Struggles of the Client–Worker Relationship in the Social Services
2020
This study examines how disability service workers identify the discourses of the client-worker relationships. We studied the clientworker relationship from the perspective of the relational dialectics theory with a focus on relational contradictions and the meanings created within discursive struggles. We analyzed the interview data from 22 social workers using contrapuntal analysis. According to the social workers’ perceptions, two discursive struggles exist in client-worker relationships: i) the struggle of integration, consisting of the contradiction of the ideal and the real and the contradiction of closeness and reservedness and ii) the struggle of certainty, consisting of the contrad…
Participatory alternatives for charity food delivery? Finnish development in an international comparison
2014
[Introduction] Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; show him how to catch fish, and you feed him for a lifetime. First and foremost, hunger as an extreme form of marginalization is a problem of developing countries. It is interesting, though, that food insecurity is also increasing rapidly in the developed world. This article deals with the particular phenomena of marginalization in forms of hunger and food insecurity in rich Western countries. Participation is discussed here as a promising option to deactivating and, at the worst, humiliating charity food delivery. The starting point of the article is that welfare services or policies have not been able to solve the problem of hu…
Sobre los límites de la intervención de los servicios sociales
2018
Uno de los argumentos más comunes a la hora de justificar el exiguo impacto d elos servicios sociales es el escaso peso que éstos representan en el conjunto del gasto social. En el articulo se muestra que esta justificación puede no ser del todo cierta. Pese a que el balance de sus primeros años fue claramente positivo, el análisis de ciertos datos del periodo 1997-2007 previos al estallido de la crisis muestra, a juicio del autor, las crecientes dificultades para mejorar las situaciones de pobreza y exclusión social con independencia de los medios financieros y personales que se hayan dispuesto. Tal afirmación sugiere la posibilidad de que la intervención de los servicios sociales esté som…
La mediación como instrumento de dialogo entre las organizaciones y el territorio
2020
The use of mediation as a tool to promote social coexistence remains today a "non-ordinary" social action strategy, which is often activated more to prevent or resolve conflicts than to meet the needs of different communities. However, the experience of social and/or commission mediation services in different parts of the world have proven effective in generating social relationships through the offer of participation spaces; participation which, therefore, goes beyond the assumption of responsibility on the part of the citizen with regard to his own conflicts, and the openness to the search for solutions in relation to conflict, to become space and opportunity for the citizen to know and r…
Derivation and validation of a novel bleeding risk score for elderly patients with venous thromboembolism on extended anticoagulation
2017
SummaryExisting clinical scores do not perform well in predicting bleeding in elderly patients with acute venous thromboembolism (VTE). We sought to derive an easy-to-use clinical score to help physicians identify elderly patients with VTE who are at high-risk of bleeding during extended anticoagulation (>3 months). Our derivation sample included 743 patients aged ≥65 years with VTE who were enrolled in a prospective multicenter cohort study. All patients received extended anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists. We derived our score using competing risk regression, with the time to a first major bleeding up to 36 months of extended anticoagulation as the outcome, and 17 candidate var…
Risk of digestive cancers in a cohort of 69 460 five-year survivors of childhood cancer in Europe: the PanCareSurFup study.
2021
BackgroundSurvivors of childhood cancer are at risk of subsequent primary neoplasms (SPNs), but the risk of developing specific digestive SPNs beyond age 40 years remains uncertain. We investigated risks of specific digestive SPNs within the largest available cohort worldwide.MethodsThe PanCareSurFup cohort includes 69 460 five-year survivors of childhood cancer from 12 countries in Europe. Risks of digestive SPNs were quantified using standardised incidence ratios (SIRs), absolute excess risks and cumulative incidence.Results427 digestive SPNs (214 colorectal, 62 liver, 48 stomach, 44 pancreas, 59 other) were diagnosed in 413 survivors. Wilms tumour (WT) and Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) survivors…
Ambient carbon monoxide and daily mortality:a global time-series study in 337 cities
2021
Background Epidemiological evidence on short-term association between ambient carbon monoxide (CO) and mortality is inconclusive and limited to single cities, regions, or countries. Generalisation of results from previous studies is hindered by potential publication bias and different modelling approaches. We therefore assessed the association between short-term exposure to ambient CO and daily mortality in a multicity, multicountry setting. Methods We collected daily data on air pollution, meteorology, and total mortality from 337 cities in 18 countries or regions, covering various periods from 1979 to 2016. All included cities had at least 2 years of both CO and mortality data. We estimat…
