Se analizó la influencia del sentido de comunidad en la adaptación biopsicosocial de latinoamericanos residentes en la ciudad de Málaga, España. La muestra la formaron 34 personas de origen latinoamericano a las que se le hicieron dos mediciones en un intervalo de 18 meses. Se desarrolló un estudio comparativo prospectivo longitudinal de carácter aproximativo, en el que se compararon las relaciones entre las variables en función del tiempo de residencia previo en Málaga (menos/más de un año) y el efecto del paso del tiempo. Las dimensiones del sentido de comunidad se relacionaron consistentemente con las variables de adaptación biopsicosocial contempladas y se observó un cambio positivo en las variables de adaptación para ambos grupos. Se presentan implicaciones para la práctica y la capacitación de los/as trabajadores/as sociales y para la mejora de las políticas públicas, evidenciándose las potencialidades del Trabajo Social Comunitario en este ámbito.The influence of the sense of community on biopsychosocial adaptation of Latin Americans living in the city of Malaga, Spain, was analyzed. The sample consisted of 34 people of Latin American origin and two measurement were carried out in an interval of 18 months. An approximate longitudinal prospective comparative study was developed. The relationships between the variables were compared according to the length of time of residence in Malaga (less/more than one year) and the effect of the passage of time. The results showed that the dimensions of sense of community were consistently related to the biopsychosocial adaptation variables analyzed in this study and a positive change was observed in the adaptation variables for both groups. Implications for practice and training of social workers and public policies improvements are considered, revealing the potential of Community Social Work in this area.

Introduction: Deviated nasal septum is one of the most common causes for the nasal obstruction. The objective of this study is to compare the surgical outcomes in patients undergoing conventional septoplasty and endoscopic septoplasty in the management of deviated nasal septum. Methods:  Prospective comparative study was conducted on 60 patients who presented to the Department of ENT, College of Medical sciences, during a period of one year. The severity of the symptoms was subjectively assessed using NOSE score and objectively assessed using modified Gertner plate. Results: There was significant improvement in functional outcome like NOSE Score and area over the Gertner plate among patients who underwent endoscopic septoplasty. Significant difference in incidence of post-operative nasal synechae and haemorrhage was seen in conventional group compared to endoscopic group. Conclusions: Endoscopic surgery is an evolutionary step towards solving the problems related to deviated nasal septum. It is safe, effective and conservative, alternative to conventional septal surgery.

Introduction. A prospective comparative study between classical posterior interbody fusion with peduncular screws and the new technique with divergent cortical screws was conducted. Material and Methods. Only patients with monosegmental degenerative disease were recruited into this study. We analyzed a cohort of 40 patients treated from January 2015 to March 2016 divided into 2 groups (20 patients went to traditional open surgery and 20 patients under mini-invasive strategy). Primary endpoints of this study are fusion rate and muscular damage; secondary endpoints analyzed were three different clinical scores (ODI, VAS, and EQ) and the morbidity rate of both techniques. Results. There was no significant difference in fusion rate between the two techniques. In addition, a significant difference in muscular damage was found according to the MRI evaluation. Clinical outcomes, based on pain intensity, Oswestry Disability Index status, and Euroquality-5D score, were found to be also statistically different, even one year after surgery. This study also demonstrated a correlation between patients’ muscular damage and their clinical outcome. Conclusions. Cortical bone trajectory screws would provide similar outcomes compared to pedicle screws in posterior lumbar interbody fusion at one year after surgery, and this technique represents a reasonable alternative to pedicle screws.

Social work plays an important role in managing the process of planning, supervising, and ensuring the sustainability of protective and supportive measures applied to children who are dragged into crime and in need of protection in order to prevent incompatibilities that may arise in society. Social workers are actors in the field in the execution of the process. In this chapter, these practitioners who have made significant contributions to social work by giving reports and opinions about the measures taken by the courts about the children dragged into crime, determining the criminal tendencies of the children and the necessary precautions and training, are examined closely in the context of the Turkish legal system. The chapter includes the issues of judicial control, protective and supportive measures, preparation of a plan for the implementation of cautionary decisions, confidentiality, the role of the social worker and the social worker board for children who are dragged into crime and in need of protection.

O presente artigo reflete a necessidade urgente e contemporânea acerca da reafirmação do Projeto Ético-Político da categoria do Serviço Social. Através da participação de alguns fóruns de articulação profissional de base, como reuniões de comissões de conselhos de direito, grupo de estudos e eventos de formação profissional, como palestras e seminários em diversos municípios de diferentes Estados brasileiros, deparei-me com inúmeras assistentes sociais que questionam a legitimidade do Projeto Ético-Político, bem como do próprio Código de Ética da profissão. Trata-se de um evento que destaca um movimento paradoxal entre a academia e a base profissional. Nesse sentido, propõe-se o convite à (re)visitação a esses princípios e à reafirmação dos mesmos. Compreendendo assim, que a práxis profissional deve alcançar a práxis social e materializar-se em lutas políticas em favor de um novo modelo societário, que não seja o capitalismo e a sua insaciável sede de lucro e mais valia. Um modelo que não justifique suas crises capitais para adensar a miséria de muitos seres humanos. Abstract: This article reflects the urgent and contemporary about the reaffirmation of the ethicalpolitical project of the category of Social Work. Through participation in some forums to articulate professional basis, including meetings of committees of boards of law, the study group and training events such as lectures and seminars in various cities of different states of Brazil, I came across numerous social workers who question the legitimacy of the Ethical Political Project, as well as the Code of Ethics of the profession. This is an event that highlights a paradoxical movement between academia and professional basis. Accordingly, it is proposed to call for (re) visitation to the reaffirmation of these principles and the same. Understanding then, that professional practice must achieve social praxis and effect in political struggles in favor of a new corporate model, that is not capitalism and its insatiable thirst for profit and added value. A model that does not justify their attacks to capital deepening the misery of many humans.

And Training

Professionals without a social work qualification have been involved in the practice teaching of social work students since the days of CCETSW (the former education and training body for social work in the UK). Historically this has always happened more in the voluntary sector. With the advent of the Social Work Degree in England, the 50% increase in demand for placements in a variety of settings has seen reliance on practice teachers who are not social workers.This raises some interesting questions about how professionals who are not social workers should be trained and supported in the role of practice teacher.We will attempt to explore these questions, drawing on responses to a questionnaire sent to a range of practice teachers in a county in northern England as well as feedback obtained from a focus group drawn from respondents to the questionnaire. The participants in the research came from a range of work backgrounds in the voluntary and statutory sectors. The experiences discussed in the research, in the main, relate to the Diploma in Social Work (the former UK qualification) as the degree only started in 2003- 2004. We will refer to research participants as Practice Teachers. The key criterion for involvement was that all participants in the study had had sole responsibility for at least one social work student.

Abstract Accepting Bartlett’s vision of social work’s evolution resulting from action research, the article argues that in Finland, extensive action research is occurring, and this is resulting in service innovations. However, little of this research is published in academic journals and has only limited dissemination. Drawing on data from new interviews with experienced social workers in the City of Tampere, Finland, the article details the nature and extent of action research by social workers. A new framework with which to analyse action research from the logic-of-practice is used to show not only how extensive the action research is, but also how readily situated action research can be analysed from a broader perspective, making dissemination easier.

As specialist-level palliative care evolves in developed and developing countries, increasing numbers of social workers, chaplains, and pharmacists are participating as members of interdisciplinary teams. These disciplines are faced with a workforce that may be inadequately trained to meet increasingly complex patient needs. As a result, systematic efforts to provide education, training, and certification are appearing. In some countries, these efforts gain support and legitimization through legislative and reimbursement practices. In other countries, there are few opportunities for training as the disciplines involved struggle for recognition as core providers of palliative care. Countries with professional associations that have embraced the role in palliative care have produced more defined training curricula and a stronger presence, but the growth is uneven. This chapter explores the state of the science in teaching and training for specialist palliative social work, chaplaincy, and pharmacy.

Latin American Intellectuals

Given the historic role of cities in Latin America as an instrument for appropriating territory and for ordering society, one may wonder why more attention is not paid to the Latin Americans' own vision of the city. We are sometimes asked to believe that only in the 1940s did the urban phenomenon loom in their world and that our knowledge of it comes from foreign demographers and anthropologists. Colonial sources like Solórzano and the Recopilación, however, demonstrate that the IberoCatholic political tradition gives central importance to the organizational and paradigmatic functions of the urban unit. After independence, to be sure, this tradition was eclipsed by the ‘ruralization’ of Latin American societies as urban, bureaucratic structures decayed and power flowed to the agrarian domain. At this time also, intellectual horizons opened to offer release from scholastic constraints, encouraging the intelligentsia to make eclectic, sometimes euphoric assessments of their new nations' future potential. Of these pensadores Sarmiento almost alone dealt directly with the city's role in nation building. Yet his very plea that the city — whether Buenos Aires or a new ‘Argirópolis’ — assume ‘modernizing’ or ‘developmental‘functions reverts to the old Mediterranean notion that the city (civitas) is one with ‘civilization’. For this Alberdi attacked him, reminding Sarmiento that in Argentina town and country, civilization and barbarism, were not disjoined but fused in a single society and polity.
