The effectiveness of job search activation policies : the case of Barcelona Activa's job orientation and job search service
No full textFil: Todeschini, Federico. Universidad de San Andrés. Departamento de Economía; Argentina.This paper analyzes the effectiveness of a job search program using instrumental variables.
The instruments used are travel time in public transport to the place where activities are
done, and difference between enrollment and start of activities. In line with the literature, the
intervention improves labor participation.
We also see the lack of a general pattern regarding the greater or lesser immediate impacts of
SORF activities. If anything, there would seem to be a certain tendency for the effects of
participation to improve in the medium term. This finding goes against a significant part of
the existing literature that concludes that the impact of job-search and orientation
interventions tends to fade away within a few months of completing participation. In the case
of SORF, the effect of participation increases six months and nine months later
The most vulnerable ‘NEETs’ in Spain tend to come from families with the lowest levels of education.
No full textA number of policies aimed at tackling the problem of ‘NEETs’ (young people who are not in education, employment, or training) have been implemented throughout Europe. Miquel Àngel Alegre and Federico Todeschini assess the extent of the problem in Spain. They argue that as NEETs are a highly diverse group, it is useful to make a distinction between ‘vulnerable’ and ‘severely vulnerable’ individuals. They find that the most vulnerable NEETs are found far more frequently in families where neither parent has entered higher education, and that once young people find themselves in a NEET situation it is extremely difficult for them to escape it
Epithelial abnormalities in cystic ovarian endometriosis
No full textObjective. To evaluate the prevalence of epithelial abnormalities in cystic ovarian endometriosis. Methods. In this observational study, the specimens of 388 consecutive patients undergoing a surgical procedure whose final diagnosis included cystic ovarian endometriosis were histopathologically reviewed. The prevalence and patient characteristics of cases featuring epithelial metaplasia, hyperplasia, atypia, and endometrioid carcinoma arising in endometriosis were analyzed. Results. The epithelial lining was evaluable in 339 cases. Left-sided cysts were significantly more common than right-sided ones (P < 0.0001). The observed prevalence was 12.1% for metaplasia, 9.4% for hyperplasia, 5.9% for atypia, and 4.1% for endometrioid carcinoma arising in endometriosis. Complex hyperplasia, but not simple hyperplasia or metaplasia, was significantly more common in cases with associated endometrioid carcinoma than in all other cases (P < 0.00001). A statistically significant trend for increasing age from normal epithelium to carcinoma was observed (P < 0.001). Conclusions. Epithelial abnormalities are a common finding in cystic ovarian endometriosis. Despite their clinical significance being still debated, complex hyperplasia and atypia can be associated with malignant transformation of endometriosis. Their observation in a surgical specimen, particularly in older patients, should indicate a careful examination of the entire lining of the cyst and a strict follow-up of the patient

Els processos associats amb la globalització i amb l’automatització de certes tasques productives ha fet ressorgir el debat sobre la necessitat per part del sistemes de protecció social de garantir uns mínims de renda i així doncs evitar els efectes negatius via destrucció d’ocupació i salaris baixos d’aquests processos. A Catalunya aquest debat ha rebut recentment un impuls amb l’aprovació de la Renda Garantida de Ciutadania per part de la Generalitat de Catalunya i amb la posada en marxa del projecte B-Mincome per part de l’Ajuntament de Barcelona. En tant que la primera és una llei del Parlament de Catalunya aprovada durant l’Agost d’enguany, la segona és una prova pilot amb disseny experimental d’una transferència que garantirà durant dos anys un determinat nivell de renda a 1000 famílies en risc d’exclusió. Tot i que les dues polítiques comparteixen l’objectiu de reduir l’exclusió social, tenen diferències importants en el seu disseny.
En aquesta ponència primerament es descriuran aquestes dues polítiques de garantia de rendes, posant èmfasi en la població objectiu de les mateixes així com en les seves diferencies. A continuació, es presentaren els resultats de la revisió de la evidencia existent de l’impacte i de la eficiència polítiques similars implementades anteriorment. També es descriuran els projectes d’avaluació de polítiques de rendes bàsiques que s’estan desenvolupant actualment en altres contextos i que en el futur complementaran la evidencia en l’àmbit de l’avaluació d’aquest tipus de polítiques. Finalment, es descriurà el disseny de l’avaluació d’impacte i d’eficiència de la política de garantia de rendes del projecte B-Mincome i es suggeriran diferent possibilitats per avaluar l’impacte de Renda Garantida de Ciutadania. 
Un nuovo approccio al “discorso politico” francescano

Guardiani della soglia. I Frati Minori come garanti del perimetro sociale (XIII secolo)
No full textIl contributo indaga il ruolo dei Minori nella pacificazione della civitas. Il carisma dei frati minori si presentava come antidoto allo scandalum e premessa alla riammissione della cittadinanza all’interno del circuito della fides. Tale speciale attitudine, che sin dalle origini fu utilizzata dai testi francescani per comprovare la santità dei fratres, viene ricondotta alla loro capacità di proporsi come efficaci mediatori civici pur costituendo un gruppo religioso, poi un Ordine, il cui tratto di identificazione era dato dall’inferiorità ecclesiologica e sociale (minoritas). Le ragioni di un simile atteggiamento vengono ricondotte alla capacità politica dei Minori di sperimentare la propria prossimità al potere ecclesiale e cittadino raccordandola con la sperimentazione del perimetro della civitas, evidente sin dall’ubicazione dei primi insediamenti: sotto il profilo sociale, tale sperimentazione si tradusse in un contatto con i pauperes, i marginali e gli infami. I Minori divennero in tal modo un elemento di composizione di poli sociali distinti, riuscendo a mediare il rapporto tra fama e infamia, tra potentes e pauperes
Mercato medievale e razionalità economica moderna
No full textNel Trecento e Quattrocento, la riflessione teologica ed etico-economica fondata sui concetti di bonum commune, di interesse, di mercato (sviluppata soprattutto dai francescani) arriva gradatamente a definirsi come un “sistema” economico cittadino
