Comunicazione in famiglia e processi di integrazione
Full text linkL'analisi sulle competenze linguistiche degli immigrati qui riportata si basa sull'indagine multiscopo "Condizioni e integrazione sociale degli stranieri in Italia, 2011-2012" condotta da Istat e Ministero dell'Interno. In particolare si è distinta la popolazione immigrata in Italia sulla base della "lingua parlata in famiglia", come presupposto del livello di integrazione effettivamente conseguito dagli stranieri in un paese ospitante. Sotto questo profilo, allora, già da questa prima analisi emerge come per la sottopopolazione parlante italiano in famiglia a la lingua citaliana non sia un semplice veicolo di comunicazione -a differenza di chi parla italiano solo al di fuori dell'ambito familiare ma al suo interno usa la lingua del paese di origine- bensì un passo sostanziale per la costruzione ed il "transfert" del senso di appartenenza ad una identità nazional
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Linguistic barriers to immigrants’ labor market integration in Italy
Full text linkThis article investigates whether and to what extent poor proficiency in Italian impairs immigrants’ labor market integration in Italy. Using individual-level survey data, we apply instrumental variables methods to leverage presumably exogenous variations in Italian proficiency induced by immigrants’ demo-linguistic characteristics (e.g., age at arrival, linguistic distance between mother tongue and destination language, speaking Italian during childhood) and their interplays. We find that, given the low-skill nature of Italy's immigrant labor market, poor proficiency in communication skills (speaking and understanding Italian) produces larger penalties for immigrants’ labor force participation and employment than does the lack of formal skills (reading and writing). In contrast, no effect is found on immigrants’ job characteristics like the type of contract and full-time or part-time work. Whereas female immigrants were more penalized than males by poor linguistic proficiency in labor force participation, immigrants in linguistic groups that were more likely to work with (for) co-nationals were less affected by linguistic barriers than other immigrant groups. Yet, when investigating perceived integration outcomes, immigrants working with (for) co-nationals fared worse on feeling at home, feeling accepted, and overall life satisfaction in Italy. As our analysis shows, linguistic enclaves in workplaces, while not always representing a hurdle to immigrants’ labor market success, can generate trade-offs for other non-labor market integration outcomes. These findings highlight that the development of linguistic skills should be prioritized in migration policy agendas, taking into account heterogeneity in immigrants’ demographic and linguistic profiles
‘Either something's wrong, or I'm a terrible parent’: a systematic review of parent experiences of illness-related interpretations for unsettled babies
No full textAims: To explore parents' experiences of unsettled babies and medical labels. Design: Qualitative systematic review, thematic synthesis and development of a conceptual model. Review Methods: Systematic review and thematic synthesis of primary, qualitative research into parents' experiences of unsettled babies <12 months of age. ‘Unsettled’ was defined as perception of excessive crying with additional feature(s) such as vomiting, skin or stool problems. The Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) checklist was used to assess trustworthiness. Data Sources: Structured searches completed in CINAHL, Medline, Embase, PsychINFO and CochraneCT on 23 March 2022 and rerun on 14 April 2023. Results: Ten eligible studies were included across eight countries contributing data from 103 mothers and 24 fathers. Two analytical themes and eight descriptive themes were developed. Firstly, parents expressed fearing judgement, feeling guilty and out of control as a result of babies' unsettled symptoms and seeking strategies to construct an ‘Identity as a “Good Parent”’. This desire for positive parenting identity underpinned the second analytical theme ‘Searching for an explanation’ which included seeking external (medical) causes for babies' unsettled behaviours. Conclusion: Parents can become trapped in a cycle of ‘searching for an explanation’ for their baby's unsettled behaviours, experiencing considerable distress which is exacerbated by feelings of guilt and failure. Impact and Implications for Patient Care: Insight gained from this review could inform interventions to support parents, reducing inaccurate medicalization. Health visiting teams supporting parents with unsettled baby behaviour could focus on supporting a positive parenting identity by managing expectations, normalizing the continuum of infant behaviours, reducing feelings of guilt or uncertainty and helping parents regain a feeling of control. Reporting Method: ENTREQ guidelines were adhered to in the reporting of this review. Patient or Public Contribution: Parent input was crucial in the design phase; shaping the language used (e.g., ‘unsettled babies’) and in the analysis sense-checking findings.</p
Imparare le lingue per abbracciare il mondo
No full textL’autrice che si colloca, come Daniela Zorzi, tra i fautori di una linguistica “impegnata”, propone in ricordo della studiosa amica, una riflessione sul ruolo cruciale del multilinguismo e delle lingue- culture, per il successo professionale e il benessere sociale, nella società contemporanea. Il multilinguismo appare come un’urgenza educativa che interpella studiosi e formatori a tutti i livelli al fine di promuovere nei giovani un apprendimento consapevole efficace ed autonomo.Multilingualism constitutes an urgent objective for education, which needs to involve teachers and researchers at all levels if we are to promote effective and autonomous learning in the young. Like Daniela Zorzi, the author considers herself a socially engaged linguist, and in memory of her friend’s work, offers a reflection on the key roles of languages and cultures and of multilingualism for professional success and social welfare today

“Seeing pain differently”::A qualitative investigation into the differences and similarities of pain and rheumatology specialists interpretation of multi-dimensional mhealth pain data from children and young people with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Full text linkBackgroundIn contrast to traditional uni-dimensional paper-based scales, mHealth assessment of pain in children and young people (CYP) with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) enables comprehensive and complex multidimensional pain data to be captured remotely by individuals with this long-term condition. However, we do not yet know how professionals use multidimensional pain data to interpret and synthesise pain reports gathered using mHealth tools.ObjectiveTo explore the salience and prioritisation of different mHealth pain features as interpreted by key stakeholders involved in research into and management of CYP with JIA. Methods Pain and rheumatology specialists were purposively recruited via professional organisations. We conducted face-to-face focus groups for each separate specialist group. Participants were asked to rank order nine static vignette scenarios created from real patient mHealth multidimensional pain data. These data had been collected by a researcher in a separate study using My Pain Tracker (MPT), a valid and acceptable mHealth iPad pain communication tool which collects information about intensity, severity, location, emotion and pictorial pain qualities. Specialists discussed their decision-making processes behind each rank order in the focus groups. The total group rank ordering of vignette scenarios were calculated. Qualitative data from discussions were analysed using latent thematic analysis. ResultsNine pain specialists took part in one focus group and ten rheumatology specialists in another. Within groups, consensus for the highest pain experience was poorer in pain specialists (42.86%) compared to their rankings of lowest pain experiences (57.14%). However in rheumatology specialists, consensus for highest pain experience (70%) was stronger than when ranking the lowest pain experience (50%). Pain intensity was a high priority for pain specialists, but intensity and severity taken together were prioritised high by rheumatology specialists. Pain spread was highly prioritised, with the number of pain locations (particular areas or joints) being a high priority for both groups and radiating pain a high priority for pain specialists only. Pain emotion was challenging for both groups and was only perceived to be a high priority when specialists had additional confirmatory evidence (such as information about pain interference or clinical observations) to validate this. Pain qualities such as particular word descriptors, use of the colour red and fire symbols were seen to be high priority by both groups in interpretation of CYP pain reports. ConclusionsPain interpretation is complex but findings from this study of specialists decision-making processes indicate which aspects of pain are prioritised and weighted more heavily than others by those interpreting mHealth data. These findings are useful for future research to develop electronic graphical summaries to assist specialists to interpret patient reported mHealth pain data more efficiently in clinical and research settings.<br/
