La presa de decisions entorn els acolliments familiars per tal que un infant en situació de desemparament sigui acollit per una família alinea és un procés molt complex, en el qual poden incidir molts factors. L'estudi se centra precisament en analitzar els factors que intervenen en la presa de decisions dels i les professionals pel que fa als acolliments en família aliena a Catalunya, Estudi encarregat per l'Institut Català de l'Acolliment i de l'Adopció (ICAA) i finançat per l’Obra Social "la Caixa"

Infografia sobre com millorar els processos de presa de decisions en els acolliments familiars d'urgència i diagnòstic, on es resumeixen els principals punts de l'estudi relatius a objectius, metodologia, anàlisi de resultats i conclusions. L'objectiu general d'aquest estudi és aprofundir en el coneixement dels acolliments d'urgència i diagnòstic per tal de fer propostes de millora i facilitar la presa de decisions dels responsables tècnics i polítics, fent servir una metodologia qualitativa basada en la realització de grups de discussió i entrevistes semiestructurades. Finalment s'exposen els resultats més rellevants a partir de les valoracions realitzades per les persones, famílies, i els/les professionals participants en l'estudi i es presenten les conclusions i unes recomanacions pràctiques sorgides de l'estudi, La recerca ha rebut el suport del Departament de Recerca i Universitats de la Generalitat de Catalunya, concretament del programa d'ajuts predoctorals FI_SDUR, 3

This document contains different graphic simulations that complement the results mentioned in the published article. Graphics have been calculated from the data collected in the "Language database".

- S1 Database in XLSX available at https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0198346.s002. It is the Language database that contains the list of phonemes for 359 languages. For each language are provided the number of phonemes and the distance from the origin of the out-of-Africa. For these 359 languages, 908 different phonemes have been found. First, all languages ​​in the dataset were coded in strings of "1" and "0". This leads to a "full" matrix of 359 rows (languages) x 908 columns (phonemes). The presence of a phoneme is marked with a "1" in the corresponding position. The absence of a given phoneme is marked with a "0". Data from this database are used to generate the observed phonetic cline and the simulated phonemic cline, explained in the published article. - Two programs in FORTRAN to carry out the numerical simulations based on the data collected in the Language database (S1): S1 Software is the SFE with phonemic loss program, available at https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0198346.s003 (ZIP) and S2 Software is the program to compute diversity tF of languages at given distance intervals, available at https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0198346.s004 (ZIP), It has been observed that the number of phonemes in languages in use today tends to decrease with increasing distance from Africa. A previous formal model has recently reproduced the observed cline, but under two strong assumptions. Here we tackle the question of whether an alternative explanation for the worldwide phonemic cline is possible, by using alternative assumptions. The answer is affirmative. We show this by formalizing a proposal, following Atkinson, that this pattern may be due to a repeated bottleneck effect and phonemic loss. In our simulations, low-density populations lose phonemes during the Out-of-Africa dispersal of modern humans. Our results reproduce the observed global cline for the number of phonemes. In addition, we also detect a cline of phonemic diversity and reproduce it using our simulation model. We suggest how future work could determine whether the previous model or the new one (or even a combination of them) is valid. Simulations also show that the clines can still be present even 300 kyr after the Out-of-Africa dispersal, which is contrary to some previous claims which were not supported by numerical simulations​
