RISULTATI RICERCA

L’articolo riassume i principali provvedimenti razzisti realizzati nel 1938 dal regime fascista relativamente all’espulsione degli studenti ebrei dalle scuole. Dai bambini non furono percepite come leggi ma come concreti atti che progressivamente segnarono la loro espulsione, esclusione e separazione all’interno della societa italiana. Fu un processo lento e progressivo che per l’infanzia fu la prima grande ferita identitaria che ne avrebbe accompagnato la formazione. Lo sviluppo delle scuole ebraiche, consentito dal regime, costitui l’unico spazio identitario e formativo permesso a una parte dei bambini italiani ebrei.

In 1942 P. Sorokin published his noteworthy book "Man and Society in Calamity" providing 18 traits from psycho-social to macro, via micro and meso of the impact of calamities on ma and society. This paper has a twofold goal of sociological theory and policy modeling which is important to be linked strategically as research determines policy which determines politics. The first objective is to briefly present Sorokin’s traits showing their multidimensional map and very briefly debating how this map is still valid in terms of procedural preparedness in the case of calamities which is not perfect but viable enough to meaningfully downsize the risk of media creation of panic through the use of granfaloon and further manipulation tools. The second objective regards policy modeling and global governance of calamities and its scale of jurisdiction, the possibility of a multilevel coordinated policy or the drift towards fragmented and contingent localization of non protagonist organization which for whatever reason (power, money etc.) and want to create a granfaloon, a trompe d’oeil and an unending threat or enemy to scare the masses and public opinion by pretending that they, the non protagonists - are the protagonists to keep the foe at bay. On these basis, this paper deals with the risks of misleading interpretation of calamities often depending on a lack of preparedness and/or by a strong will to manipulate facts politically.

Innovation in technology drives innovation in assessment. Since the introduction of computer-based assessment (CBA), a few decades ago, many formerly paper-and-pencil tests have transformed in a computer-based equivalent. CBAs are becoming more complex, including multimedia and simulative elements and even immersive virtual environments. In Vocational Education and Training (VET), test developers may seize the opportunity provided by technology to create a multimedia-based equivalent of performance-based assessment (PBA), from here on defined as multimediabased performance assessment (MBPA). MBPA in vocational education is an assessment method that incorporates multimedia (e.g. video, illustrations, graphs, virtual reality) for the purpose of simulating the work environment of the student and for creating tasks and assignments in the assessment. Furthermore, MBPA is characterized by a higher amount of interactivity between the student and the assessment than traditional computer-based tests. The focal constructs measured by MBPA are the same as are currently assessed by performance-based assessments. Compared to automated delivery of item-based tests, MBPA realizes the full power of ICT. In the present article we will therefore discuss the current status of MBPA, including examples of our own research on MBPA. We provide an argument for the use of MBPA in vocational education too.

The author covers his long-lasting work on the social change of forms of capital in Scandinavia, expounding on methodological considerations (in particular, the combination of marxist thought and quantitative investigation of social phenomena) and the relationship between theory and research, standing by his decision to spend a whole career at a minor Norwegian university. The multidimensional analysis of compositions of capitals and the geometric modeling of data are explored as the most significant promise of Bourdieu’s sociological approach. Written in the third person, the paper stresses the primacy of fields and impersonal forces over the individual agent.

A caccia di informazioni accurate sui «fantasmi». Una proposta per l’analisi del fabbisogno professionale e formativo - In the debate on unemployment in European countries virtually all observers and policy makers agree on the utility of active labour policies, even if a clear proof of their effectiveness is still missing. This general agreement concerns also vocational training schemes, and the idea that these should be realized as a response to the «training needs» of firms. Many public and private organizations have tried to seek better information on this «ghost entity» during the last decade. These efforts have been relatively unsuccessful, mainly because of the limits of the survey schemes currently employed in this field. In this work we present a scheme which has been employed in numerous surveys with the aim to overcome many of those limits. It is based on the idea that, in order to get affordable forecasts from the indications made by the firms, it is necessary to assess these indications on the basis of past behaviours, and the latter on the basis of the technological, organizational and market characteristics of firms themselves.

La fondazione Idea Vita è la prima fondazione di partecipazione in Italia, costituita nel dicembre del 2000 a Milano. La fondazione favorisce la piena espressione dei desideri della persona con disabilità e della sua famiglia con l’obiettivo di costruire percorsi di vita indipendente in stretta connessione con tutte le risorse disponibili del territorio. Questo volume nasce dal lavoro quotidiano della fondazione, in particolare dagli incontri periodici di confronto con persone con disabilità, genitori, fratelli e sorelle.

L’autrice descrive le peculiarità di una esperienza clinica svolta a domicilio di una paziente: un setting inconsueto, in cui la relazione terapeutica si muove su una dimensione sensoriale e suscita profondi movimenti controtransferali. All’interno del contesto di vita della paziente, la condivisione e traduzione simbolica di alcuni gesti e oggetti concreti consente di apportare pensabilità ed avviare un’elaborazione del mondo interno della paziente.

Radically Open Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (RO DBT) is a new treatment for overcontrolled mental health disorders, including refractory depression. This case study provides the therapist’s description of delivering RO DBT to a client who took part in a randomised controlled trial of RO DBT. It describes novel treatment strategies and their implementation. Sam attended weekly individual sessions and group skills training sessions over 7 months. The treatment involved collaboratively explaining the RO DBT model whilst linking it to Sam’s history and experiences. Coping styles that served to keep Sam isolated from others were identified with a focus on social signalling. RO DBT skills were introduced to activate her social safety system and enhance connectedness. Percentage improvement in depression scores from baseline was 50% at 7 months (end of treatment) and 65% at 18 months.Sam was in full remission at 12 and 18 months. Subjective feedback from Sam was that she felt happier in her marriage, had started voluntary work and made friends locally. She reported being more compassionate to herself and having increased flexibility in adapting to situations.The therapist reported using the RO DBT skills herself and finding them useful, both in learning the new therapy and in the therapy sessions. RO DBT’s focus on the overcontrolled coping style and teaching of new strategies to address social signalling and enhance connectedness is a novel treatment approach. It offers promise as an intervention for those with depression.

London was one of the most heavily bombed British cities during World War II. In the immediate aftermath of the war, the scale of damages to ecclesiastical buildings was considerable. The fate of Wren’s churches soon became the subject of several proposals tracing back to three different approaches. This section reviews the fate of one of these ruins, whose intervention follows the second proposal by H.S. Goodhart- Rendel: St Alban’s Church, in Wood Street. Incendiary bombs gutted the church on 29 December 1940; only its shell and Tower survived. By the end of the War, the Ministry of Works decided that St Alban’s should not be included among the City churches to be rebuilt since preserving the body of the church would not be practicable. In 1954, after the proposal for the redevelopment of the Barbican area, the main building of the church was eventually demolished and the Corporation of London called for a meeting to discuss the possibility of demolishing the tower as well. Instead, the Ministry of Works decided that the tower should be preserved - after a long debate about its demolition or reconstruction into some suburban parish - and, in the mid 1980s, it was converted to a commercial use. Nowadays, the tower stands isolated in a little traffic island located in the middle of a Wood Street section, an incongruous spot of history with roadways and modern buildings on all its sides.

In this paper, I analyse the evolution of corporate reporting regulation in Europe in the last two decades and reflect on the possibility that the traditional usefulness approach is insufficient to solve new issues arising from the current regulatory landscape. The evolvement that the concept of “public interest” has undergone within the European Commission implies a change in the objective of corporate reporting from the main aim of targeting investors for decision-making through a change brought about by the financial crisis to the aim of financial stability and economic growth, and finally to the goal of getting of social and environmental objectives. This evolvement implies a revolution, raises non-previous existing conflicts of interest among stakeholders, and brings a motivating challenge for researchers. However, in many cases, the existence of a potential crisis of incentives to publish in journals with a “real” impact on academia and to transfer research output to society requires a profound debate for progress.
