Relations between social services and urban policies. A review from the evidence

En las últimas décadas, las administraciones locales han adquirido progresivamente mayor protagonismo en la gestión urbana. En este contexto, las políticas urbanas (PP.UU.) como instrumentos para la mejora de las ciudades, resultan indispensables para la mejora de la calidad de vida de la ciudadanía. Esta razón, junto a derechos como proximidad o inclusión social, son compartidos por los Servicios Sociales (SS.SS.) y además guardan coherencia con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible. La finalidad de esta investigación se centra en relacionar precisamente los conceptos de política urbana (P.U.) y SS.SS. con intención de recopilar, indagar y sintetizar la evidencia cualitativa, cuantitativa y mixta en torno a esta relación. Se realiza una investigación primaria que explora las temáticas que enfocan los estudios elegidos desde las bases de datos WOS, Scopus y 1finder (carácter complementario). Se evalúa la calidad de los hallazgos con una síntesis de evidencia cualitativa, cuantitativa y mixta, basada en el método Mixed-Methods Appraisal Tool. En cuanto a los resultados, por un lado, destacar que existe una mayoría de estudios con diseño cualitativo (n = 18) de un total de 23 estudios incluidos en la revisión, otros artículos comprenden diseños de estudios cuantitativos (n = 3) y mixtos (n = 2). Por otro lado, EE.UU. protagoniza el primer puesto como país objeto de estudio de estas obras (n = 6) y también las ciudades de gran tamaño poblacional (n = 13). Por último, reseñar que existe un diferente desarrollo de los artículos en los diferentes países con respecto a las PP.UU. centradas en los SS.SS., una diversidad temática influenciada por el concepto de gestión urbana.Urban policy as an instrument for improving cities has become indispensable for enhancing residents quality of life. This rationale, combined with the importance of rights such as proximity and social inclusion, is also shared by the social services (SS from here on) and consistent with UN sustainable development objectives. This study aim to assemble, investigate and summarize the mixed evidence available on topics centring studies of urban policy on SS. To this end a preliminary study was carried out to explore the topics using WOS, Scopus and 1finder (complementary) databases. The quality of the findings was assessed by the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Of a total of 23 included in the review, were found to be of qualitative design (n = 18), quantitative (n = 3) and mixed (n = 2). USA was found to be the main country studied in these papers (n = 6); and most of the studies focused on cities with large populations (n = 13). A final finding was that divergences between countries in approaches to urban policy centred on SS led to studies being performed differently, and showing the influence of urban management in each country

Measurement of Ds + production and nuclear modification factor in Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV

The production of prompt D s + mesons was measured for the first time in collisions of heavy nuclei with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The analysis was performed on a data sample of Pb-Pb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair, sNN−−−√ , of 2.76 TeV in two different centrality classes, namely 0–10% and 20–50%. D s + mesons and their antiparticles were reconstructed at mid-rapidity from their hadronic decay channel D s +  → ϕπ +, with ϕ → K−K+, in the transverse momentum intervals 4 < p T < 12GeV/c and 6 < p T < 12 GeV/c for the 0–10% and 20–50% centrality classes, respectively. The nuclear modification factor R AA was computed by comparing the p T-differential production yields in Pb-Pb collisions to those in proton-proton (pp) collisions at the same energy. This pp reference was obtained using the cross section measured at s√=7 TeV and scaled to s√=2.76 TeV. The R AA of D s + mesons was compared to that of non-strange D mesons in the 10% most central Pb-Pb collisions. At high p T (8 < p T < 12 GeV/c) a suppression of the D s + -meson yield by a factor of about three, compatible within uncertainties with that of non-strange D mesons, is observed. At lower p T (4 < p T < 8 GeV/c) the values of the D s + -meson R AA are larger than those of non-strange D mesons, although compatible within uncertainties. The production ratios D s + /D0 and D s + /D+ were also measured in Pb-Pb collisions and compared to their values in proton-proton collisions
