Social Contexts in Social Work: a View from Teachers in the Centro East and Colombian Caribbean Region

Objective: To reveal, from the point of view of the teachers dedicated to the training of social workers, the meanings they attribute to the social contexts in order to establish relationships with the training emphases proposed by the social work programs in the Caribbean and central-eastern regions of the Colombian territory. Theoretical Framework: oriented from the study group methodology, where the exchange of knowledge was the basis for analyzing and deciding the basic theoretical course for the configuration of historical and theoretical perspectives of the developed process, based on local sociologies to understand life contexts of subjects and communities, which paraphrasing Wiebke Keim (2010) work the dynamics of the local, recovering the voices of actors against the classical social theory that marked even the powers of the so-called North Atlantic. Method: the study was developed from the hermeneutic paradigm, qualitative approach, non-probabilistic designs, focus group technique and discourse analysis, aimed at teachers of Social Work Programs. Results and Discussion: the relationship of the context as a scenario where interactions are developed is reaffirmed, product of an economic structure that determines certain social representations, built in the groups permeated by social dynamics and intervention processes influenced by diagnoses that give reading to social, economic and political determinants that allow their development. Research Implications: It contributes to the epistemological, theoretical and methodological developments of Social Work from the reading of context. Originality/value: It provides views of context related to the emphasis of training that give sense to areas of professional performance.

Learning, internalisation and integration of the COVID-19 pandemic in healthcare workers: A qualitative document analysis.

The COVID-19 pandemic triggered an unprecedented health crisis that impacted healthcare systems worldwide. This study explores how Spanish healthcare workers learned, internalised and integrated values and work behaviours during the COVID-19 pandemic and their impact on the personal sphere. This documentary research, using images, narratives and audiovisual content, was framed within the interpretative hermeneutic paradigm. Categories and subcategories emerged after a final theoretical sampling that focused on the analysis. Data triangulation between researchers favoured theoretical saturation. A total of 117 images and 27 texts were selected. The analysis identified three stages: bewilderment, seeking functionality in the chaos and integrating chaos into care. The data reflects how the need for security and knowledge, and the exhaustion and frustration caused by the initial working conditions, prompted adaptive responses. These responses involved focusing on problem-solving and strengthening group sentiments and solidarity. Subsequently, the data indicates the acceptance of new structural, organisational and communication aspects. The findings of the analysis will contribute towards finding a framework that can help understand community health crisis events.

Islam Throughout the Diaspora: Balancing Cultural Characteristics, Religious Beliefs, and Criminal Activity (the Case of Italy)

The purpose of this study is to revitalizes the debate around the plural structure of Western societies and what cultural traits and religious dimensions mean. Starting from some news reported by the Italian media often with misleading headlines, the article analyze the processes of inclusion of Islam in European legal systems, with a particular focus on the relationship between the religious factor and the criminal sphere. Cyclically the Italian media, in reporting some news stories, associate crimes with the religious affiliation of their perpetrators, polarizing attention on Islam rather than on the criminal. The research method used is qualitative, based on media and library research, with a jurisprudence analysis and a legal approach as an analytical tool to investigate the stated problems. Although in Italy the relationship between the religious factor and criminal law certainly shows a concrete and tangible interest, despite the lack of a dedicated constitutional model as well as a current and specific law on religious freedom. However, doctrinal discussions do not always correctly emphasize the difference between behaviors guided by cultural heritages and those imposed by religious beliefs. The results of this study indicate that, if on the one hand there is a tangible religious illiteracy, internal and external to the Muslim communities living in the diaspora, on the other hand the cultural sphere must be distinguished from the religious one, and a hermeneutic paradigm exercised by suitable and accredited subjects is needed. In fact, the appropriate hermeneutic coordinates are needed both on the legal and on the religious level to live Islam correctly as migrants residing in the diaspora or as Muslims with citizenship. In conclusion, the topic is essential, due to the gap in the research, which often confuses the cultural level with the religious one, and the aim is to clarify the point and provide a new paradigm.In this way discrimination is avoided and Italian judges and legislators will be able to have a more informed and therefore more sensitive approach towards religious minorities in Italy.

Substantial difference between private and public pensions in Mexico 2018-2021

The objective of this article is to analyse the pensions of private sector workers, comparing them with those of the public sector. The work is framed under the deductive method, with a hermeneutic paradigm and with a quantitative approach. By 2018 in Mexico, of the total number of pensioners of the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS), 1.5 million received less than 5,000 pesos per month (69.8% of the IMSS and 46.7% of the national total); while the Institute of Security and Social Services of State Workers had 1.7% of its retirees in that segment; the IMSS-employer 0.4%; Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) and Petroleum Mexicans (PEMEX) 0%. This great inequality is further accentuated when the IMSS-insurer has 2,270 pensioners with incomes of 60-80 thousand pesos per month, while the CFE has 16,707 pensioners earning 60-200 thousand pesos (7.3 times more with 51 times fewer pensioners than the IMSS-insurer).

The Fiscal Reform Required for Mexico in 2025

The aim of this article is to analyse and explain why tax collection in Mexico is so low, as well as to propose some solutions to this serious problem. The work is framed under the deductive method, hermeneutic paradigm and a quantitative approach. Mexico is a country with a brutal income inequality, where the country’s tax burden in 2021 is only 14.7% of GDP (without social security contributions) when the average for Latin American countries is 17.9% and the average for Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries is 24.6% of GDP, a very significant difference of ten percentage points. In view of this, tax reform is essential, which in the first stage should seek to equalise with Latin American nations and in the second to come as close as possible to the OECD countries. JEL: H2: Taxation, subsidies and revenues; H3: Fiscal policies.

Hermeneutika Dialogis sebagai Basis Filosofis dalam Fiksyen dan Sejarah, Suatu Dialog Karya Umar Junus

This study aims to explain dialogical hermeneutics, one of the scientific paradigms that can bridge the confusion of thinking in explaining the relationship between literature and reality/history. The material object used is Fiction and History of Dialogue, while the formal object is the dialogical hermeneutic paradigm in the book. The purpose of this study is to describe the basic assumptions; model; and the concepts that make up dialogic hermeneutics. The theoretical framework and method used as the basis for the analysis are Thomas Khun's thoughts related to paradigms. The results of the research show that Fiction and Dialogue History books criticize in discussing fiction which is dominated by mimetic and semiotic concepts as well as history which is seen as something that is often contrasted with fiction. Junus offers an alternative idea in the form of dialogue (hermeneutics) as a new way of looking at the relationship between fiction and history/reality. Junus uses an analogy model to see the relationship between fiction and history/reality. The concepts put forward include the Concept of Definition of Fiction; The Nature of Reality in Stories; Fiction and Heurmenetics; Fiction Shapes Reality; Perspective of Fiction and Reality of Writers and Readers; and Fiction and History.

Interés académico sobre uso terapéutico de cannabis en estudiantes de enfermería de una universidad privada de Chile

Objective: Identify the academic interest related to the therapeutic use of cannabis (UTC) in nursing students from a private university in Chile. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out, with a quantitative approach, from Gadamer's hermeneutic paradigm. The non-probabilistic sample of cases by criteria was made up of 20 key informants from the 3rd and 4th year of the Nursing major, including students enrolled in the school year. Data collection was through the formation of two focus groups in 2018. Data reduction was manual, data transcription was performed using the Jefferson formula, and rigorous and ethical criteria were met. Results:Three categories emerged: academic node, disciplinary roles, and ethical-legal considerations. The students acknowledge linking the therapeutic use of cannabis to their curriculum, displaying relationships between it and its environment in the disciplinary functions related to the care role in care management, the educational role, visualize it towards the community and consider a lack of research in the eld. area, bioethics and legal aspects are mentioned for the third category. Conclusions: There is academic interest in incorporating the UTC within university education, recognizing the assistance action, the educational role and the relationship with strategies and interventions towards the population; a lack of research development is also observed and administrative management is not mentioned. In addition, bioethics and legal aspects need to be involved in training regarding UTC.

Substantial Difference between Private and Public Pensions in Mexico 2018-2021

The objective of this article is to analyse the pensions of private sector workers, comparing them with those of the public sector. The work is framed under the deductive method, with a hermeneutic paradigm and with a quantitative approach. In 2018, the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) had 1.5 million pensioners receiving less than 5,000 pesos a month, which represented 69.8% of all its beneficiaries with that benefit and 46.7% of the national total; while the State Workers’ Social Security Institute (which groups government workers) had 1.7% of its retirees in that income segment; the IMSS as employer 0.4%; the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) and Petróleos Mexicanos 0%. The great inequality between the public sector and the private sector in pensions can be seen when the IMSS had 2,270 beneficiaries receiving incomes of 60 to 80 thousand pesos per month, while the CFE had 16,707 retirees receiving 60 to 200 thousand pesos per month (7.3 times more, when the IMSS is 51 times larger). In Mexico, the retirement system of decentralized public agencies needs to be restructured to unify the wide variety of subsystems currently operating.

Seeking for utopia or utopian travel

We believe that travel, which is perhaps the most important element of tourism, should be questioned with the concept of utopia further. Associating the concept of utopia with travel will close a gap or lead to a new discussion. Therefore, we evaluated the relationship between travel and utopia in this paper. Following the philosophical basis of the concept of utopia, we have determined its equivalent in tourism literature as the transformation of utopian thought into travel. In this context, we held discussions within the scope of travelers who prefer more independent and longer travel than tourists. We realized that the aims of travelers who set out to their own utopian spaces, transform being on the road rather than arriving a destination. Focusing on these utopian travels, we embrace the hermeneutic paradigm in the paper. Hence, we propose a model by examining travels with utopian ideas through sociological and psychological discussions. The prominent concepts in this model were the social life-utopia and the escape-approach. Eventually, we mentioned related discussions and gave suggestions for future studies.

Internalization of Religious Tolerance Through Cross-Cultural Dialogue in Kendal’s Art Performances

The intolerance symptoms in several regions of Indonesia are increasingly worrying as transnational actions proliferate. However, in some remote villages of Java island, cultural and Islamic spiritual capitals are still found, manifested through various local pearls of wisdom in performing arts, as seen in the Cacaban community, Singorojo, and Kendal Regency. Skills can be used as media for cross-cultural dialogues between Islam and Java to build harmony. This study examines the debate between Islamic values and Javanese cultures to find an accommodative model of acculturation between Islam and Javanese wisdom in cultivating the values of tolerance in moderate religious life. This study implements a qualitative-ethnographic-interpretive approach based on the phenomenological hermeneutic paradigm. It shows that the patterns of cross-cultural dialogue in Cacaban Kendal society are carried out through Jaran Kepang, Karawitan, and Wayang Orang performances. Meanwhile, the reproduction of cultural acculturation is found explicitly in the praxis of life in the form of world views; beliefs or ideology; social attitudes; rites or ceremonies; social principles, norms, and regulations; habits, and behavior in social interactions. The internalization of the tolerance system can be categorized into three main principles, namely: (1) the principle of religious freedom, (2) the principle of respect for the existence of other religions, and (3) the principle of freedom in doing good things and being fair to everyone.

Successful ageing: contributions of non-formal (adult) education in a group of older people in northern Portugal

ABSTRACT In the field of lifelong learning, it is universally accepted that education for and during old age is a powerful tool in the process of successful aging. This paper presents the results of a research and intervention project that worked with older people at a Day Centre belonging to a Private Institution for Social Solidarity in the north of Portugal, focusing on the promotion of successful ageing. The project involved a group of twenty-one older adults, aged between fifty-seven and ninety-two. Drawing on methodologies intrinsic to the qualitative interpretative hermeneutic paradigm and guided by the participative action research method, as a means of fostering motivation and participation among social agents, the intervention was structured around four workshops designed to promote human development. These activities provided opportunities for learning, interaction and leisure, transforming the daily lives of their participants. The outcomes were positive in terms of learning, more positive perspective of facing life and strengthening the interpersonal relationship network.

Postgraduate Problems 1988 to 2000: ESE-IPN Case in Mexico

This article is presented under the deductive method, in the hermeneutic paradigm, with a qualitative approach, of interpretative type and narrative design of topic. The Escuela Superior de Economía: Instituto Politécnico Nacional (ESE-IPN) - Higher School of Economics of the National Polytechnic Institute- offers a master’s and doctorate in economics, starting courses in January 1970 and February 1986 respectively. During the last years of the last century, these postgraduate programs presented two complex problems: Too long time between the completion of academic subjects and the achievement of the professional license, and they were not recognized by the Programa Nacional de Posgrados de Calidad (PNPC) -National Quality Postgraduate Program. The first master’s degree card registration is kept until 1993 and the doctorate one is given in 2003, after completing the thesis and defense of the exam, taking up to fifteen years to obtain it. Regarding the degree of excellence that the PNPC qualifies, the ESE-IPN doctorate obtained this recognition until 2010, eighteen years after the first register of postgraduate excellence in the country was released, the master’s degree being in a similar situation.

Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton in psychobiography: Sense of coherence and faith across her lifetime.

This article focuses on the coping skills of one selected, extraordinary woman, Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton (1757–1854) during the founding of the United States of America. This work contributes to theory on two different levels. First, it contributes to psychobiographical research on women in diverse spheres of society, thereby strengthening the aspect of gender and coping strategies in terms of psychobiographical perspectives. Second, it contributes to theory-building in psychobiographical research anchored in positive psychology, promoting the idea that a multiplicity (crystallisation) of theories should be used to explore and analyse the lifespan of extraordinary individuals. The psychobiography responds to the question how Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton coped with life’s challenges and tragedies through the lenses of sense of coherence and faith development theory. The article uses a psychobiographical case study design within the research paradigm of modern hermeneutics. First- and third-person data on the subject were collected and evaluated through thematic analysis, including articles, documentation, letters, film material, and political scripts. Customary ethical standards for psychobiographical research were followed, thereby ensuring an ethical, respectful, empathetic and accountable research approach. The article presents findings on the coping skills, sense of coherence, and faith development in the life of Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton which strongly influenced her resilience and support for others during her long and extraordinary life. Conclusions are drawn with regard to the way women cope in different sociocultural, sociopolitical and socio-economic spheres using historical and contemporary retrospectives. Recommendations are provided for future psychobiographical research on women in diverse contexts and in psychobiographical, gendered practice.

The hermeneutic problem posed by digital humanities

This article aims to present the hermeneutic problem related to the emergence of the research field widely known as digital humanities. In general, at the epistemological level, this problem involves the consideration of a theory of historical interpretation that articulates research methods and techniques with digital objects in their symbolic character. At the ontological level, it highlights the need to take into account the constitutive aspects that make this theory of interpretation possible. By examining the historical-philosophical foundation of the hermeneutic paradigm, as well as the engagement of human sciences at large — and history in particular — with digital technologies, we have come to the conclusion that a digital historical hermeneutics needs to go beyond epistemological and methodological reflections towards the questioning of the ontological conditions not only of human understanding but also of machine interpretation.

E-LEARNING AND MODERN DIGITAL PROFESSIONAL SKILLS FOR MEXICO

The article follows the deductive method, with a hermeneutic paradigm and a qualitative approach. Online learning has allowed students to have academic preparation without having to go to a traditional educational center, where there is already physical displacement and there are no pre-established schedules, in addition, they allow lowering travel and tuition costs. Permanent relearning, asynchronous models and self-learning are managing to train individuals who know how to search for adequate information and solve problems as they arise, increasing their sense of responsibility and achieving permanent updating of their knowledge. In the last decade, modern digital media have generated the appearance of new professional activities, among which they have stood out for generating higher income: Chief Digital Officer (CDO); Chief Technology Officer (CTO); Digital Business Manager. Artificial intelligence allows imitating the functions that humans perform constantly and repetitively, making its application trend grow exponentially in the future.
