For many service users and professionals in the field of social work, shame is an ongoing part of their daily experience. Providing an in-depth examination of the complex phenomena of shame and humiliation, this book sets out key contextual issues and theoretical approaches to comprehend shame and its relevance within social work. It provides a broad understanding of shame, its underlying social and political contexts and its effects on service users and professionals. The book uses innovative international scholarship and includes theoretical considerations, as well as empirical findings within the field of social work. It shows the importance of sensitive, reflective and relationship-oriented practice based on a better understanding of the complexity of shame.
Innesti
L’opera di Primo Levi presenta un caso straordinariamente ricco e articolato di intertestualità. Lettore curioso, onnivoro, asistematico, Levi esplorò molteplici campi del sapere – letterari, scientifici, storici, ecc. – navigando tra libri e riviste specializzate e di divulgazione, per motivi di ricerca o di puro divertimento, spesso accostandosi alle culture straniere in lingua originale, mosso da una curiosità eclettica e dal desiderio intenso di conoscere e di comprendere. Già scandagliata in parte da Levi stesso nella sua antologia La ricerca delle radici (1981), la biblioteca di Levi rimane comunque tutta da scoprire. Questo volume intende tracciare i lineamenti di una mappa critica degli innesti, intertesti e trapianti che collegano l’opera leviana ai libri altrui, mettendola a confronto con ventuno autori, in una galleria «poliglotta e polivalente» che include classici come Dante, Shakespeare, Leopardi, Baudelaire e Carroll, autori di letteratura moderna come Kafka, Mann e Calvino, e scienziati come Galileo, Darwin, Heisenberg e Lorenz.
Order, Disorder and Criticality
This book is the sixth volume of reviews on advanced problems of phase transitions and critical phenomena, with the first five volumes appearing in 2004, 2007, 2012, 2015, and 2018. It aims to provide an overview of those aspects of criticality and related topics that have attracted much attention due to the recent contributions. The six chapters discuss criticality of complex systems, where the new, emergent properties appear via collective behaviour of simple elements. Since all complex systems involve cooperative behaviour between many interconnected components, the field of phase transitions and critical phenomena provides a very natural conceptual and methodological framework for their study.As for the previous volumes, this book is based on the review lectures that were given in Lviv (Ukraine) at the 'Ising lectures' — a traditional annual workshop on phase transitions and critical phenomena which aims to bring together scientists working in the field of phase transitions with university students and those who are interested in the topic.The level of presentation makes the book readable both for professionals and the students in the field. On a larger scale, the book may contribute to promoting and deepening studies of phase transitions and critical phenomena.<b>Contents:</b> <ul><li>Nature of the Spin Glass Phase in Finite Dimensional (Ising) Spin Glasses <i>(J J Ruiz-Lorenzo)</i></li><li>Phase Transitions in Fermi Systems <i>(P Jakubczyk)</i></li><li>Geometrical Frustration in Interacting Self-Avoiding Walk Models of Polymers in Dilute Solution <i>(D P Foster)</i></li><li>Two-Dimensional Systems of Elongated Particles: From Diluted to Dense <i>(N I Lebovka and Y Y Tarasevich)</i></li><li>Modeling Tumor Growth: A Simple Individual-Based Model and Its Analysis <i>(Yu Kozitsky and K Pilorz)</i></li><li>Microscopic and Macroscopic Models for Vehicular and Pedestrian Flows <i>(M D Rosini)</i></li></ul><br><b>Readership:</b> Advanced undergraduates and graduate students, researchers and scientists interested in phase transitions and critical phenomena.Condensed Matter Physics;Statistical Physics;Phase Transitions;Criticality;Scaling;Complex Systems0<b>Key Features:</b><ul><li>Providing reviews of the state-of-the-art studies in various areas of phase transition theory and related topics that have currently attracted much attention</li><li>Focuses on the criticality of complex systems</li><li>Presents different aspects of complexity, analyzing systems of non-physical origin and studies the criticality of traditional complex physical objects such as disordered magnets and complex polymers</li></ul>
