La Importancia y Alcance del Trabajo Social Clínico Entrevista a María Tapia, Senior Research Associate en la Universidad de Miami, Entrenadora Maestra y Supervisora Clínica del programa Familias Unidas

María Tapia es Senior Research Associate en la Universidad de Miami, además de Entrenadora Maestra y Supervisora Clínica del programa Familias Unidas, de la misma universidad, el cual se centra en evidencia científica para prevenir comportamientos riesgosos en jóvenes hispanos. En esta entrevista dialoga en torno a las habilidades necesarias para la especialidad del trabajo social clínico, realizando cierta distinción respecto de otras disciplinas, en especial de psicología en el ejercicio práctico. Explica también sus consideraciones respecto de la implementación de intervenciones basadas en la evidencia por parte de profesionales de trabajo social. El trabajo social clínico es una línea de especialización de la profesión que ha evolucionado a lo largo del tiempo en Chile. En su origen su objetivo fue mejorar las condiciones sanitarias de la población, desarrollándose en contextos hospitalarios y de salud mental con un fuerte énfasis en el trabajo de casos y de familia, entre las décadas de 1920 y 1950 (Aylwin y Solar, 2011; González, 2010). Durante la época de la “Reconceptualización”, entre 1965 y 1973 aproximadamente, hubo una preponderancia del trabajo social con comunidades, con una fuerte crítica al trabajo social de casos como un ejercicio para el control social, desde una perspectiva funcionalista que no cuestionaba el status quo (Aylwin y Solar, 2011; Cuevas, 2010). Este movimiento se desarrolló con mayor fuerza en el ámbito académico, mientras que desde el Colegio de Asistentes Sociales se relevaba el ejercicio de la profesión desplegado hasta ese momento (Aylwin, 1995). Sin duda, esta época establece la reflexión profesional desde una mirada contextual y política que enriquece el tradicional trabajo de casos. Luego de la irrupción de la dictadura cívico militar en 1973 y la consecuente violación a los derechos humanos en el país, los profesionales comenzaron a implementar intervenciones psicosociales terapéuticas de acompañamiento a los familiares de víctimas y de reparación (Aylwin, 1995; Cuevas, 2010). La recuperación de la democracia trajo consigo una revalidación de los principios y valores de trabajo social como la justicia social y el respeto a los derechos humanos dando mayor sentido a las reflexiones de la “Reconceptualización” que se interrumpieron con el Golpe Cívico Militar en 1973; junto con ello, los profesionales se siguen ubicando laboralmente en los programas gubernamentales sectoriales cuyo foco central de intervención son las problemáticas que afectan a las personas más vulnerables en instituciones de salud, protección de la infancia, cárcel y municipios (Quiroz, 2000).

Criticalities of Non-Verbal Reading Competencies: An Afrocentric Ethnological Approach to Qualitative Research

Body contact and body language reading are unique and existential and, although culturally dependent and socially embodied, they are critical ethno-specific communication forms confined within contextual geo-spaces. The interactive narratives of ethno-specific, non-verbal communication in my qualitative research approach were facilitated using e-mails, web blogs and thread observations generated by senior research leaders who shared their views on appropriate Afro-ethno-specific qualitative data collection methodologies. Afro-ethno-specific qualitative data collection methodology needs a new narrative that focuses on creating Afrocentric research practices and data collection instruments that are validated for African contexts. Research findings indicate that non-verbal reading competencies that take cognizance of the application of the 3 Cs of non-verbal communication; context, clusters and congruence that are group and Afro-ethno specific were often ignored by researchers in South Africa. The article argues that the application of Afro-ethno specific non-verbal reading competencies, knowledges and skills is critical for it takes into cognizance people’s ethnic origin, culture, identity, race, nationality, norms, values, religion or belief systems.

Interview with professor of philosophy Hans-Martin Sass. November 15-18, 2020

Hans-Martin Sass, Honorary Professor of Philosophy (Ruhr University, Bochum, Germany). Founder and board member of the Centre for Medical Ethics (CME), Bochum, Germany. Honorary Senior Research Fellow at Kennedy Institute of Ethics at Georgetown University, Washington, DC. Honorary Professor of the Bioethics Research Centre, Beijing. He has written more than 60 books and pamphlets, more than 250 articles in professional journals. Editor of the Ethik in der Praxis/ Practical ethics, Muenster: Lit. Founder and co-editor of the brochures “Medizinethische Materialien”, Bochum: ZME. He has lectured in Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Brazil, Canada, Croatia, the Chech Republic, India, Iran, Israel, Italy, Japan, France, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Switzerland and Taiwan. The interview devoted to exposition of the concept of bioethics in America and Germany, as well as the professor`s attitude to the idea of the integrative concept of bioethics. The concept of integrative bioethics has been developed in different countries, a component of this concept is the idea of the need for discussion on bioethics in various sectors of society (not only medical). Equally important in this concept are the definitions of bioethics and the bioethical imperative proposed by Fritz Jahr in 1926. The scientist`s article, which was discovered in 1997, contains a new format of bioethical ideas, as well as a valuable opportunity to enhance understanding the term of bioethics as an integrative science. Interview has been conducted by Hanna Hubenko as a part of the joint international course «Integrative Bioethics». At the meeting it was discussed the experience of cooperation and plans for the future. Cooperation and feedback between scientists remains an unconditional prerogative, also in a pandemic situation (to be continued).

WOMEN FACULTY AND SCIENTIFIC PRODUCTIVITY IN LATIN AMERICAN CONTEXT: EVIDENCE FROM CHILE

Since the 19th century, the position of women in the context of higher education has undergone multiple changes, although their incorporation has not been a simple or homogeneous task. Currently, women face new consequential challenges of a globalized world and the notion of market education that characterizes institutions nowadays. One of the great challenges is related to the under-representation of women in senior research positions (Aiston and Fo, 2020). In this context, new standards have been established to measure the productivity, quality, and effectiveness of teachers, specifically scientific productivity has been internalized as an indicator of professional progress, the type of publication, its impact, and the citation rates today. They have special relevance, where many times achieving high scientific productivity is very complex for academics who do not access the teaching staff early (Webber and Rogers, 2018). Furthermore, it is very difficult for academic women to maintain high levels of productivity constantly both at work and home (Lipton, 2020). In this sense, the principles that encourage academic productivity increase competition among teachers and reinforce gender inequalitiestogether with a valuation of male professional life (Martínez, 2017). Indeed, the participation of women in sending articles is much lower than their male counterparts (Lerback and Hanson, 2017). Therefore, the present study aims to visualize the participation of Chilean academics in current productivity indices, based on the description of secondary data obtained from the DataCiencia and Scival platforms. The sample consists of 427 people, of which 17.3% were women, with an average of 10 publications for the year 2019. To achieve the objectives, the following strategy was developed: 1) describe and interpret the secondary data obtained during the year 2019 on each of the platforms. 2) Compare the data obtained to national averages and type of institution and gender. Based on the analyzes, the implications of female participation in the number of women observed at the national level and their position in international indicators and new lines of research are discussed.

REVIEW CULTURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SLOVENIAN SOCIETY AND ITS ATTITUDE TOWARDS SECURITY AND THE MILITARY

In June 2021, a scientific monograph by Dr Janja Vuga Beršnak was published, titled Kulturne značilnosti slovenske družbe in njen odnos do varnosti: vojska na stičišču zahtev države, pričakovanj družbe in lastne pohlepnosti . It has been reviewed by DD Rudi Rizman, Professor Emeritus, from the Faculty of Arts in Ljubljana; Dr Majda Hrženjak, senior research fellow at the Peace Institute in Ljubljana, and Dr Ljubica Jelušič from the Faculty of Social Sciences in Ljubljana. The monograph has 180 pages and forms a part of the Varnostne študije (Security Studies) collection (ed. Dr Anton Grizold, Prof) published by the Faculty of Social Sciences publishing house. Methodologically, the monograph is divided into three content sets: macro-, mezzo- and micro level, and individual level. At the macro level, the author first describes Slovenian culture. This is followed by the description of Slovenian society and security culture in the context of acceptable "risk", which she calls “the security bubble”, and finally, by a chapter on Slovenian society and its armed forces. The mezzo- and micro levels are first devoted to the future of military organizations: their culture and identity, followed by a chapter on the gender representativeness of the military organization. The author concludes this set with a chapter on the motivation for the military profession. In the last set, she focuses on the psychosocial framework of the functioning of members of a military organization, and on the risk and protection factors affecting them and their families. The presented topics indicate a step forward in the study of military sociology-related contents in Slovenia, specifically in the field of health and well-being. Dr. Janja Vuga Beršnak is Associate Professor and Senior Research Fellow at the Faculty of Social Sciences. She has discoursed the cultural aspects of the activities of members of the armed forces in international operations and missions as early as in her dissertation. In this scientific monograph, she explores the rarely presented dimensions of security culture, i.e. the relationship between the military and security from a cultural perspective. Her work is based on the research by probably one of the most famous authors in the field of research of interactions the between national and organizational cultures, a Dutchman Geert Hofstede, who died last year at the age of 91. Hofstede included Slovenia in one of his researches in 1991, when he researched the culture of business corporations (IBM). As early as in that period, he discovered, what was later confirmed in 2021 by Dr Andreja Terpotec in her doctoral dissertation on national culture in Slovenia in connection with corruption, and by Dr Janja Vuga Beršnak on the case of Slovenian society and its attitude towards the military. Slovenian culture is predominantly female-oriented, which means that it is determined by female qualities such as modesty, helping others and the weak, caring and nurturing good interpersonal relationships, compared to male-determined cultures, which are characterized by self-confidence, strength, determination, competition and success. The military organization and its mission are both based on a male-determined culture. Its members must demonstrate strength, self-confidence, determination and success. Only with such a culture is it possible to defend the homeland and deter various forms of threats. We could make a rough estimate that, considering the attitude of the state and the society towards its military, Slovenia is experiencing a harmonious relationship between two partners. In more depth, however, the author of the monograph notes that these two different cultural determinants have certain characteristics that should be understood, researched and taken into account in many processes and public policies; all with one single purpose – to ensure the safety and successful performance of each individual in the military and families of these individuals, and the security of the country as a whole. The monograph brings valuable findings and a completely different, fresh, very welcome, new perspective of the understanding of certain phenomena and characteristics in the broader international environment, but especially in Slovenia. Ever since the last global financial crisis, when the funds for the Slovenian Armed Forces were steadily being cut, there has been an impression that the armed forces were experiencing long-lasting cramp twinges that were by no means easing away. There was an impression that the attitude of the Slovenian state and the society towards the national armed forces resembled a relationship between a stepmother and a stepchild, whereby the former only demands and never gives. Gradually and after a long time, the cramp twinges subsided. This new monograph will facilitate the understanding of Slovenian culture, our society, the Slovenian Armed Forces and its families, and our diverse relations. An important role in the understanding of all of the above is certainly played by the monograph’s author Dr Janja Vuga Beršnak. She has consistently followed the scientific methodology, laws, views and various pieces of literature and sources throughout her research, and at the same time has personal experience of what a military family is, what are its benefits, and what it requires, being a greedy institution.
