Percorsi alternativi di supervisione dei tirocini ai tempi del COVID-19: Università e Ordine degli Assistenti Sociali a confronto per la costruzione di Linee Guida
No full textCom’è noto, il Covid-19 ha comportato una ridefinizione delle modalità operative del lavoro sociale, attraverso lo smart working
e l’utilizzo degli strumenti professionali «in remoto» (colloquio o riunione d’équipe). La rivisitazione del modo di operare degli assistenti sociali, che ha permesso di rispondere alle indifferibili esigenze dei professionisti nei servizi in un periodo così critico
come quello pandemico, ha avuto una ricaduta nella realizzazione dei tirocini curricolari «classici» per gli studenti iscritti nei corsi di
laurea in Servizio sociale, comportando una drastica limitazione quando non l’interruzione degli stessi tirocini, percorsi obbligati
e fondamentali nella formazione dei futuri assistenti sociali. Pertanto, la loro alterazione da un lato ha comportato la decurtazione
di una parte fondamentale del percorso di studi, dall’altro però ha suscitato un fattivo confronto tra le istituzioni deputate. Con questo lavoro si vuole portare l’esempio di una consolidata esperienza di «corresponsabilità formativa» tra Università di Sassari e Ordine degli Assistenti Sociali – Regione Sardegna, che ha favorito la realizzazione di «laboratori di tirocinio» attraverso il coinvolgimento dell’intera comunità professionale, sotto la regia dei docenti a contratto di tirocinio. Questo ha aperto lo sguardo
delle due istituzioni su un’ipotesi di stesura di Linee guida, al fine di «modellizzare» la messa a sistema di tale esperimento formativo.As is known, COVID-19 has led to a redefinition of the operating methods of social work, through smart working and the use of «remote» professional tools (interview or team meeting). The review of working of the social workers, which has made it possible to respond to the needs of professionals in services, in such a critical period as the pandemic, has had an impact on the creation of «classic» curricular internships for the students of the Degree in Social Work courses, involving a drastic limitation when not the interruption of the same internships, obligatory and fundamental paths in the training of future social workers. Therefore, their alteration on the one hand led to a «curtailment» of a fundamental part of the course of study, but on the other hand, it caused an effective confrontation between the appointed institutions. With this work we want to give the example of a consolidated experience of «formative co-responsibility» between the University of Sassari and Order of Social Workers – Sardinia Region, which has favoured the creation of «internship workshops », through the involvement of the entire professional community, under the direction
of internship contract teachers. This opened the gaze of the two institutions to a hypothesis of drafting guidelines, in order to «model» the system of this training experiment.

Gli attori del servizio sociale per un'elaborazione dell'autonomia civica e comunitaria
No full textCon l’intento di fornire un contributo allo studio delle politiche sociali territoriali, si esplora qui il caso della Sardegna nel più ampio quadro del contesto italiano. L’attenzione principale verte sul come le istituzioni pubbliche, insieme agli attori informali e comunitari (le organizzazioni della società civile) arrivano a costruire un sistema di servizi. Un altro aspetto trattato è come disegno, discorso e pratiche diventano politiche sociali. La legge regionale n. 4 (1988) riconosce il ruolo delle politiche territoriali nel riconoscimento dei bisogni locali. Ecco perché le diverse leggi regionali del caso italiano possono essere considerate come un’anticipazione della legge-quadro nazionale. Il problema emergente è però la distanza tra enunciati e realizzazioni.In order to give a contribution to the study of territorial social policies, the case study of Sardinia within the wider Italian context is explored. The main focus is on how public institutions, informal and community actors, as well as third sector and social private subjects, come to build up a system of services. Another aspect treated is how design, discourse and practices become social policies. The Regional Low n. 4 (1988) recognises the role of local territory in elaborating social policies based on the assessment of local needs. That is why such important normative provisions can be thought of as an anticipation of the National framework Law n. 328 (2000). Nonetheless, attention must be driven on some contradictions that shed a light on the distance between enunciation and its actual implementation

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
The Main Challenges in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Where Do We Stand?
Full text linkSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an immune-mediated multi-systemic disease characterized by a wide variability of clinical manifestations and a course frequently subject to unpredictable flares. Despite significant advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology and optimization of medical care, patients with SLE still have significant mortality and carry a risk of progressive organ damage accrual and reduced health-related quality of life. New tools allow earlier classification of SLE, whereas tailored early intervention and treatment strategies targeted to clinical remission or low disease activity could offer the opportunity to reduce damage, thus improving long-term outcomes. Nevertheless, the early diagnosis of SLE is still an unmet need for many patients. Further disentangling the SLE susceptibility and complex pathogenesis will allow to identify more accurate biomarkers and implement new ways to measure disease activity. This could represent a major step forward to find new trials modalities for developing new drugs, optimizing the use of currently available therapeutics and minimizing glucocorticoids. Preventing and treating comorbidities in SLE, improving the management of hard-to-treat manifestations including management of SLE during pregnancy are among the remaining major unmet needs. This review provides insights and a research agenda for the main challenges in SLE
