I tratti distintivi degli operatori del terzo settore: un percorso di ricerca sul campo per la determinazione delle professionalità esistenti e delle competenze richieste dal mondo del lavoro
Il lavoro presenta la progettazione e la realizzazione di un percorso di
ricerca per la definizione delle professionalità esistenti ed emergenti nel terzo settore,
con particolare riferimento all’ambito dei servizi agli immigrati. Si tratta di
professioni spesso nate in risposta a bisogni in evoluzione, per le quali è importante
l’identificazione delle competenze e dei percorsi formativi specifici. Vengono
illustrate tutte le fasi della ricerca: la prima è l’indagine qualitativa, composta da
interviste a testimoni privilegiati e successivi focus group, e finalizzata a identificare
i contenuti della ricerca quantitativa, definiti mediante analisi testuale. La seconda
fase è quella dell’indagine quantitativa, basata su questionari strutturati, e rivolta a
responsabili e operatori di organizzazioni del terzo settore

Educating in the Cooperative Model through a Structural Dialogue Between Face-to-Face and Digital Environments
This abstract presents the European Coopcamp project, launched in March 2020 in 5 countries: Belgium, Italy, Poland, Spain and Sweden. The project aims at proposing a training course in high schools to improve the knowledge and values of the cooperative model (mutuality, democracy, participation) and related skills (Fazzi, 2019). Very rarely, a cooperative economic model is a choice for young people. However, they are a particularly suitable target group for a business model that focuses on personal skills rather than on the availability of capital. In a preliminary research phase, a questionnaire was administered to some of the project partner schools, based upon the experiences of previous projects and the EntreComp framework. The analysis of the results contributed to the design and implementation of a training package, taking into account three main conceptual pillars: 1. a narrative framework on cooperative values in line with young people’s imagination; 2. a gamified structure eliciting interest in content and training activities; 3. the design of experiential learning activities based on problem-solving, challenges and simulations, to be carried out either face-to-face or online. All this, by using a digital tool created specifically for the project, with the function of providing teaching materials, guiding groups of students and teachers in scheduled meetings and keeping track of the training process. The choice of this approach is due to two main reasons. On the one hand, the choice was made to stimulate students’ interest by going towards their habits and imagination (Bolin, 2017), betting on the meaningfulness of learning experiences (Ausubel, 2000). On the other hand, it is necessary today to rethink training interventions in media education and media construction of reality framework (Couldry, Hepp, 2017). To facilitate learning, technological tools are embedded into a constructivist and collaborative logic, focusing on the quality and quantity of interactions: between students and teachers and between students themselves. In concrete terms, the digital tool consists of an online learning environment that gradually indicates the activities to be carried out, guiding teachers and students in their learning process. The online environment is not seen as a ‘mere’ expansion and continuation of what happens in the face-to-face context; it enhances the offline experience by guiding the educational process, just as a dashboard to refer to in order to conclude the learning path. The project is currently in a pilot phase. Actual testing will take place in schools in the project partner countries by April 2021. So far, about 150 groups of students and 50 teachers registered in the online environment, exploring sections and functions of the digital tool
Influence of bioturbation by the polychaete Nereis diversicolor on the structure of bacterial communities in oil contaminated coastal sediments
Patterns of change in the structure of bacterial communities monitored by ribosomal intergenic spacer analysis (RISA) in oil contaminated sediments inhabited or not by the marine polychaete Nereis diversicolor were studied during 45 days under laboratory conditions. Results supported by principal component analysis showed a marked response of the bacterial communities to the oil contamination and to the presence of N. diversicolor. Phylogenetic affiliation of specific RISA bands showed that, in the contaminated sediments, the presence of the marine polychaetes favoured the development of bacteria which may play an active role in natural bioremediation processes of oil polluted environments
Microbial Effects on Repository Performance
This report presents a critical review of the international literature on microbial effects
in and around a deep geological repository for higher activity wastes. It is aimed at
those who are familiar with the nuclear industry and radioactive waste disposal, but
who are not experts in microbiology; they may have a limited knowledge of how
microbiology may be integrated into and impact upon radioactive waste disposal
