Social businesses present a new paradigm to capitalism, in which private companies, non-profit organizations and civil society create a new type of business with the main objective of solving social problems with financial sustainability and efficiency through market mechanisms. As any new phenomenon, different authors conceptualize social businesses with distinct views. This article aims to present and characterize three different perspectives of social business definitions: the European, the American and that of the emerging countries. Each one of these views was illustrated by a different Brazilian case. We conclude with the idea that all the cases have similar characteristics, but also relevant differences that are more than merely geographical. The perspectives analyzed in this paper provide an analytical framework for understanding the field of social businesses. Moreover, the cases demonstrate that in the Brazilian context the field of social business is under construction and that as such it draws on different conceptual influences to deal with a complex and challenging reality.

Questa tesi nasce con l’intento di indagare il rapporto tra l’interpretazione di conferenza e il mondo del volontariato, nonché di esplorare le dinamiche personali e professionali che originano da tale incontro. Nel primo capitolo viene presentata una cornice storica del fenomeno del volontariato quale premessa del suo emergere e imporsi sia a livello sociale e culturale, che a livello legislativo e giuridico. Nel secondo capitolo di questo studio si propone un breve quadro della situazione italiana odierna a partire dall’ultimo Censimento Istat sulle istituzioni non profit. In seguito, si presentano i caratteri strutturali dell’attività di volontariato così come individuati dalla legge-quadro sul volontariato, per passare poi ad indagare la natura giuridica dell’attività di volontariato con l’intento di collocarla all’interno di schemi qualificatori che assicurino la più adeguata tutela degli interessi del volontario e del beneficiario. Il terzo capitolo presenta l’indagine sperimentale condotta su un campione di interpreti di conferenza professionisti al fine di analizzare l’attività pro bono eventualmente svolta a partire da fattori come il tempo dedicato al volontariato, la natura delle motivazioni, i rapporti con le organizzazioni per le quali prestano i propri servizi. Viene presentata, inoltre, l’attività organizzata degli interpreti volontari tramite una disamina di alcune associazioni di interpreti pro bono attive a livello internazionale, nonché l’opinione delle associazioni di interpreti riguardo all’attività pro bono dei propri membri. Per ultimo, ci si soffermerà sulle difficoltà e i limiti che ostacolano lo svolgimento dell’interpretazione pro bono e che costituiscono, in pratica, la fonte delle critiche mosse nei suoi confronti dagli interpreti e dalle associazioni di interpreti. A tale scopo, verrà presentato, a titolo esemplificativo, il caso del Forum Sociale Mondiale tenutosi a Porto Alegre nel 2005.

Coordinating organizational activity across different sectors is crucial in disaster management. We analysed the response of 291 aid workers to the Haiti earthquake in 2010 and found that common incentives and a high degree of equality among aid organizations positively affected perceived network coordination. Large and public organizations were more likely to take leadership roles and high numbers of public organizations involved in the disaster response network led to improved network coordination. These results indicate the need for mechanisms that enable smaller and non-profit organizations to participate in network coordination and leadership.

BACKGROUND: Health risk appraisal is a promising method for health promotion and prevention in older persons. The Health Risk Appraisal for the Elderly (HRA-E) developed in the U.S. has unique features but has not been tested outside the United States. METHODS: Based on the original HRA-E, we developed a scientifically updated and regionally adapted multilingual Health Risk Appraisal for Older Persons (HRA-O) instrument consisting of a self-administered questionnaire and software-generated feed-back reports. We evaluated the practicability and performance of the questionnaire in non-disabled community-dwelling older persons in London (U.K.) (N = 1090), Hamburg (Germany) (N = 804), and Solothurn (Switzerland) (N = 748) in a sub-sample of an international randomised controlled study. RESULTS: Over eighty percent of invited older persons returned the self-administered HRA-O questionnaire. Fair or poor self-perceived health status and older age were correlated with higher rates of non-return of the questionnaire. Older participants and those with lower educational levels reported more difficulty in completing the HRA-O questionnaire as compared to younger and higher educated persons. However, even among older participants and those with low educational level, more than 80% rated the questionnaire as easy to complete. Prevalence rates of risks for functional decline or problems were between 2% and 91% for the 19 HRA-O domains. Participants' intention to change health behaviour suggested that for some risk factors participants were in a pre-contemplation phase, having no short- or medium-term plans for change. Many participants perceived their health behaviour or preventative care uptake as optimal, despite indications of deficits according to the HRA-O based evaluation. CONCLUSION: The HRA-O questionnaire was highly accepted by a broad range of community-dwelling non-disabled persons. It identified a high number of risks and problems, and provided information on participants' intention to change health behaviour.

During the second half of the nineteenth century fraternal and benevolent associations of numerous descriptions grew and prospered in mining communities everywhere. They played an important, but neglected role, in assisting transatlantic migration and movement between mining districts as well as building social capital within emerging mining communities. They helped to build bridges between different ethnic communities, provided conduits between labour and management, and networked miners into the non-mining community. Their influence spread beyond the adult males that made up most of their membership to their wives and families and provided levels of social and economic support otherwise unobtainable at that time. Of course, the influence of these organisations could also be divisive where certain groups or religions were excluded and they may have worked to exacerbate, as much as ameliorate, the problems of community development. This paper will examine some of these issues by looking particularly at the role of Freemasonry and Oddfellowry in Cornwall, Calumet, and Nevada City between 1860 and 1900. Work on fraternity in the Keweenaw was undertaken in Houghton some years ago with a grant from the Copper Country Archive and has since been continued by privately funded research in California and other Western mining states. Some British aspects of this research can be found in my article on mining industrial relations in Labour History Review April 2006
