从碎片化到系统化：农村精准扶贫中的社会工作资源整合

在脱贫攻坚的大背景下,社会工作专业力量积极参与农村精准扶贫,资源整合是其中的一个重要议题。当前农村贫困对象的资源呈现总体匮乏、资源无联动、资源流失的状态。在农村精准扶贫中,社会工作资源整合需要使贫困对象碎片化的资源状态能够系统化。开展社会工作资源整合,首先需要评估贫困对象的资源需求,然后盘点贫困对象现有资源,并优化资源输送机制,再次需要对整合的资源进行管理与评估。在农村精准扶贫中,也需要反思社会工作资源整合的本土化问题,以及思考后扶贫时代如何针对农村相对贫困群体开展社会工作资源整合服务。     

Radioactivity in the environment around past radium and uranium mining sites of Portugal

Measurements of ambient radiation doses and determination of radionuclide concentrations in mining waste and soils were performed in 60 areas of former radium and uranium mining. In several places, mining waste and low-grade uranium ore left on the surface contain radioactivity above regional background. Most of the former mining sites present no enhanced radionuclide concentrations. However, in the mining facilities where the radioactive ore was chemically extracted, mill tailings contain materials with elevated levels of radioactivity, up to 200 times the levels in unaffected soils of the region. Mud from neutralization ponds used to treat acid mine waters contains also elevated radionuclide concentrations. Furthermore, depending on the type of waste, the radioelement composition varies. Environmental rehabilitation measures shall take these differences into account in order to prevent in the long term the radioactive contamination of agriculture soils and water resources, and to ensure adequate radiological protection to the public and to the environment.
