Radical Experiences of Portuguese Social Workers in the Vanguard of the 1974 Revolution
2019
This article focuses on the contribution of social workers to the Portuguese democratic transition in the 1970s. Their involvement in urban social mobilizations and in the cooperative movement will offer a perspective on the participation of social workers alongside the Revolutionary process and how they, through engaging with social mobilization, grass-roots initiatives and socio-political activism deployed practices consistent with radical social work frames. It is argued that the Revolution provided the structural conditions for social workers to engage with radical practice and that their intervention constituted a form of agency for socio-political transformation while influencing prof…
Hospital Reform in Palermo
2023
A partire dal XV secolo, l'ospedale cessa di essere un riflesso della carità cristiana e diventa un veicolo per la gestione del bene comune. In precedenza, la diffusione della spiritualità influenzata dagli Ordini mendicanti aveva stimolato nuove forme di pietà e opere di carità più ampie, tra cui le visite ai malati, la gestione degli ospedali e la distribuzione di cibo e vestiario. Il tardo Medioevo vide un un cambiamento radicale. Gli ospedali divennero centri polifunzionali dedicati a vari tipi di cure. In linea con una tendenza osservata in tutta Europa, le principali città siciliane (Messina, Catania, Palermo, Siracusa e Trapani) adattarono i propri sistemi ospedalieri alle esigenze d…
How Much Power to Tax do Regional Governments Enjoy in Spain Since the 1996 and 2001 Reforms?
2010
From 1979 to 1983, a new intermediate level of government was created in Spain. This article focuses on the financial aspects of political decentralization in Spain. How much power to tax do the new regional parliaments and executives enjoy? What other sources of income do they dispose of? Which rules have been settled for regulating their tax and non-tax sources of income? Has fiscal decentralization affected fiscal discipline? Are these governments now financially autonomous? These are the questions addressed. The article shows that, with the exception of the Basque Country and Navarre, regional governments were financed mainly through intergovernmental grants during the 1980s and 1990s. …

La reforma laboral 2012 y modalidades de contratación: principales puntos críticos
2013
La última reforma de las modalidades de contratación, llevada acabo por la Ley 3/2012, de 6 de julio, está siendo objeto de una importante controversia en relación con algunos de sus aspectos, cuya constitucionalidad se cuestiona. El núcleo duro de las innovaciones en esta materia se sitúa en el Capítulo II de la Ley que, en principio, según adelanta su Exposición de Motivos, «incluye diversas medidas dirigidas a fomentar la contratación indefinida y la creación de empleo», con especial hincapié en promover la contratación por PYMES y de jóvenes. Sin embargo, puede plantearse si las novedades en materia de contratación no obedecen también a otros intereses que resultan coherentes con el obj…
Teoría y práctica jurídico-política de los procesos constituyentes. Estudio de caso de Venezuela.
2016
En la presente tesis doctoral se aportan respuestas a dos preguntas: ¿qué causas provocan la apertura de un proceso constituyente? Y, ¿cuáles son las diferentes vías por las que se puede optar en cada una de las fases de un proceso constituyente? Ambas preguntas serán respondidas en la primera parte de la tesis, en la que se aportará el variado punto de vista de la doctrina y se recogerá la experiencia de numerosos procesos constituyentes. De acuerdo con ello, se dedicará la segunda parte de la tesis al estudio del caso de Venezuela en 1998- 1999, país en el que se produjo un proceso constituyente rico en contradicciones pero que permite analizar todas las etapas de un proceso constituyente…
Study of the synergistic interaction between nickel, gold and molybdenum in novel modified NiO/GDC cermets, possible anode materials for CH4 fueled S…
2013
Abstract The present study concerns the structural and physicochemical characterization of novel Au–Mo–NiO/GDC cermets, alongside with measurements of their carbon tolerance. This is an investigation on whether commercially available NiO/GDC powder that is modified with Au and/or Mo can yield possible electrocatalysts as anodes for CH4 fueled SOFCs. Specifically, the performed preparation methods of deposition-precipitation and deposition-coprecipitation permitted the modification of a commercial electrocatalyst and lead to cermets that exhibit different reaction kinetics for the catalytic dissociation of CH4 and different performance for CH4 steam reforming. The most interesting structural…
The Design and Execution of Performance Management Systems at State Level: A Comparative Analysis of Italy and Malaysia
2016
ABSTRACTThis comparative study analyses the experience of Italy and Malaysia in the design and execution of performance management systems at the state level. The article investigates how performance management systems have changed over the past decades, the motivations behind their metamorphoses, their common elements across the two countries, and what accounts for the respective progress. It also investigates the role that the institutional framework plays in making performance management systems robust. The study presents policy recommendations on how governments can create more robust performance management systems for enhanced accountability and transparency in an age of resource const…
Con "d" de "dual": investigación sobre la implantación del sistema dual en la formación profesional en España
2017
En el presente artículo, exponemos los principales resultados de la investigación que hemos llevado a cabo sobre el proceso de implantación de la formación profesional dual en la totalidad de los ciclos de dicha etapa en España, al amparo de un proyecto europeo de transferencia de innovación. La metodología utilizada es la cuantitativa. Se realizaron y se validaron dos cuestionarios dirigidos a la dirección y al profesorado tutor de formación profesional dual en un universo de 456 centros que desarrollaban esta modalidad en España en 2015. Las encuestas fueron respondidas por un total de 179 centros de formación profesional pertenecientes a 16 comunidades autónomas. De estos centros, 136 co…
Learning to Teach Mathematics: Expanding the Role of Practicum as an Integrated Part of a Teacher Education Programme
2009
The premise of the 15th ICMI Study is that teachers are key to students' opportunities to learn mathematics. What teachers of mathematics know, care about, and do is a product of their experiences and socialization, together with the impact of their professional education. The Professional Education and Development of Teachers of Mathematics assembles important new international work- development, research, theory and practice - concerning the professional education of teachers of mathematics. As it examines critical areas to reveal what is known and what significant questions and problems warrant collective attention, the volume also contributes to the strengthening of the international co…
