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…
Use of Biostimulants for Organic Apple Production: Effects on Tree Growth, Yield, and Fruit Quality at Harvest and During Storage
2018
The experiment was conducted during two consecutive seasons (years 2016 and 2017) in an organic apple orchard of the cultivar Jonathan. Several biostimulants were tested (10 in total), including humic acids, macro and micro seaweed extracts, alfalfa protein hydrolysate, amino acids alone or in combination with zinc, B-group vitamins, chitosan and a commercial product containing silicon. Treatments were performed at weekly intervals, starting from the end of May until mid-August. The macroseaweed extract was effective in stimulate tree growth potential in both years, as shown by a significantly larger leaf area (+20% as compared to control) and by an higher chlorophyll content and leaf photo…
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…
Victims' experiences concerning the actions of the authorities and the coping skills used for surviving partner stalking
2017
Tutkimuksemme on osa suomalaista VARJO-hanketta, jonka tarkoitus on kehittää palveluita eron jälkeisen vainon uhrien tueksi sekä ehkäisevään työhön ja kuntoutukseen liittyviä työmuotoja. Tutkimuksemme aineisto koostui naispuolisten vainon uhrien internetpohjaisen vertaisryhmän aikana käydyistä keskusteluista, joita tarkastelimme sisällönanalyysin avulla. Tutkimuksemme tarkoitus oli lisätä tietoisuutta vainon uhrien kokemuksista liittyen viranomaisten toimintaan ja tutkintaprosessiin sekä selviytymiskeinoista, jotka he kokivat hyödyllisiksi yrittäessään selviytyä eron jälkeisestä vainosta. Löysimme neljä pääluokkaa kuvaamaan uhrien kokemuksia viranomaistoiminnasta ja tutkintaprosessista. Näm…
Domestic Violence: Women's Profile With Social Care
2009
Se ofrece el perfil de la mujer que ha sufrido malos tratos, a partir de un estudio con 297 mujeres que reciben ayudas sociales por parte del Ayuntamiento de Valencia. La incidencia del maltrato en este grupo es del 37,3%. El perfil de estas mujeres, en comparación con las mujeres del mismo grupo que no han recibido malos tratos se caracteriza por ser de etnia paya, estructura familiar monoparental, estado civil separada, con varias relaciones de pareja previas y con problemas de salud psicológica. En otras variables que caracterizan a las mujeres receptoras de estas ayudas, tales como nivel de estudios, situación laboral y apoyos familiares y extrafamiliares, no existen diferencias signifi…
Abitare sostenibile, il caso di Mulhouse: territorio, ambiente, habitat
2010
Mentre con frequenza crescente in Europa corrono paralleli fenomeni di concentrazione e dispersione dell’habitat urbano, si rafforza il ruolo di alcuni piccoli centri dall’identità consolidata per raggiungere nuovi equilibri relativi ai temi dello sviluppo sostenibile, nell’ottica di un innervamento strategico del territorio. Facendo riferimento alle operazioni che dal 2001 sono in atto per il rinnovamento del profilo di Mulhouse, l’intervento proposto guarda all’indispensabile intreccio di pratiche, strumenti e politiche di intervento, nella designazione di piccoli centri a vocazione unica e a forte memoria storica come nuove figure di rilievo. Mulhouse è oggi una città transfrontaliera di…

Architecture for homeless: shifting paradigm in a domestic borderscape
2009
This paper is about the emergence of a new perspective in providing facilities for homelessness. I present here some results of a widely study I am still performing that focuses on architecture, is based on critical design theory and combines theoretical aspects with a field-grounded approach, referring at the experiences provided by new subjects developing innovative strategies for supportive housing. This work builds up a selective survey of case-studies sharing a belief in the role of architectural research as a skill to model innovative proposals to transitional housing. I will particularly analyse the activity of Common Ground, a no-profit organisation operating in United States trough…
