Its main purpose is to devise a semiotic methodology capable of describing and explaining the dynamics of positioning when facing personal lived experiences in real life contexts. Twenty four young adults were exposed to a simulated conflict and then asked to write a narrative of their understanding of the incident and a self-report of their personal experiences. Results show how narratives and trajectories of experience present different forms in each participant, which could be related to: a) the understanding of the situation lived and the position taken regarding the conflict; and b) the position each participant takes regarding the reports they had to produce for the researchers. The incorporation of reflexivity into the applied method allows identification of how the dynamics of double positioning leave traces in the records produced

Child Abuse Negl

Child neglect is the most prevalent form of child maltreatment and represents 79.5% of open child-welfare cases. A recent study found the evidence-based intervention (EBI) SafeCare(\uae) (SC) to significantly reduce child neglect recidivism rates. To fully capitalize on the effectiveness of such EBIs, service systems must engage in successful implementation and sustainment; however, little is known regarding what factors influence EBI sustainment. Collaborations among stakeholders are suggested as a means for facilitating EBI implementation and sustainment. This study combines descriptive quantitative survey data with qualitative interview and focus group findings to examine the role of collaboration within the context of public-private partnerships in 11 child welfare systems implementing SC. Participants included administrators of government child welfare systems and community-based organizations, as well as supervisors, coaches, and home visitors of the SC program. Sites were classified as fully-, partially-, and non-sustaining based on implementation fidelity. One-way analysis of variance was used to examine differences in stakeholder reported Effective Collaboration scores across fully-sustaining, partially-sustaining, and non-sustaining sites. Qualitative transcripts were analyzed via open and focused coding to identify the commonality, diversity, and complexity of collaborations involved in implementing and sustaining SC. Fully-sustaining sites reported significantly greater levels of effective collaboration than non-sustaining sites. Key themes described by SC stakeholders included shared vision, building on existing relationships, academic support, problem solving and resource sharing, and maintaining collaborations over time. Both quantitative and qualitative results converge in highlighting the importance of effective collaboration in EBI sustainment in child welfare service systems.R01CE001556/CE/NCIPC CDC HHS/United StatesR01 MH092950/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/United StatesR01MH092950/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/United StatesR01MH072961/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/United StatesR01 CE001556/CE/NCIPC CDC HHS/United StatesR01 MH072961/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/United States2017-03-01T00:00:00Z26712422PMC4818183vault:1644

Gestur

El nostre projecte té com a objectiu la realització d’un sistema de reserves de lloguers turístics, un aspecte molt important per nosaltres és que sigui intuïtiu per l’usuari final ja que així els hi serà més fàcil realitzar qualsevol tasca i s’obtindrà un millor resultat i eficiència a la feina. La decisió bé pressa per la necessitat d’implementar un sistema que gestionés les reserves turístiques dels immobles d’una immobiliària, ja que quan vam començar aquest projecte, el sistema que hi havia era obsolet amb les noves tecnologies i els requisits de l’empresa han anat canviat. És un sistema multiplataforma, multitasca, multiusuari en temps real. Vam triar la opció d’una pàgina web per facilitar l’accés a tothom sense la necessitat d’instal·lar cap software. Les eines i els llenguatges que hem utilitzat són PHP, AJAX, HTML, MYSQL, APACHE. Depenent del perfil d’usuari que utilitza l’aplicació, disposarà de més o menys privilegis. En trobem cinc perfils d’usuaris: clients, propietaris, empleats, directius i administrado
