A training proposal on Non-Sexist Education and Human Development in El Salvador
No full textThis paper aims to present and critically analyze, from a political-cultural and pedagogical-didacticpoint of view, the design of training intervention programme on Non-Sexist Educationand Human Development in El Salvador, addressed to the key actors of the Salvadoran educationalsystem. Take in account the perspective of inclusive education, this contribute highlightsthe strengths, the critical aspects and the possible perspectives to develop of a “blendedlearning” course (physically and online) about the gender education. Although relevant initiativeshave been carrying out recently to promote gender equality in El Salvador and to try toreduce the rate of violence against women, it is necessary to consider that the Salvadoran societyhas a strong cultural inclination and conservative politics, which could degenerate into actionsof strong resistance to the raising awareness processes supported by the training programme
Effectiveness of antimicrobial-coated sutures for the prevention of surgical site infection: a review of the literature
No full textOBJECTIVE:Surgical site infections (SSIs) are the third most common hospital-acquired infections and account for 14% to 16% of all such infections, and suture material may play a role in SSI rate. Given this risk of infection, sutures with antimicrobial activity have been developed. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments have shown that triclosan-coated sutures (TCS) are effective in the prevention of SSIs. Our aim is to analyze currently available RCTs, comparing the effect of antimicrobial-coated suture (ACS) with uncoated suture on the occurrence of SSIs following surgical procedures, we highlighted major contributions of most significant studies and evaluate the current "state of the art" on antimicrobial-coated sutures.MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed 15 RCTs comparing antimicrobial-coated sutures with conventional sutures and assessing the clinical effectiveness of antimicrobial sutures to decrease the risk for SSIs. We focused our attention on each variable in all the analyzed study. RESULTS:Our selected RCTs, produced controversial results: 7 RCTs demonstrated a significant benefit, on the contrary, 8 RCTs presented a comparison in which there was no difference.CONCLUSIONS:On the basis of our selected trial results and the heterogeneous findings of our 7 selected meta-analyses, we conclude that even though the question of whether TCSs could reduce the occurrence of SSI remains still open, the antimicrobial suture was effective in decreasing the risk for postoperative SSIs in a broad population of patients undergoing surgery. Alternative substances are becoming clinically relevant, such as Chlorhexidine (CHX) coated sutures and only 6 in vivo scientific studies evaluated them. In vivo studies, large and comparative clinical research trials are necessary to validate the efficacy of CHX-coated sutures thus allowing their use in clinical practice
Corpi materni: Anna Magnani tra divismo e maternità
No full textPer Federico Fellini, la figura della madre è l’archetipo femminile fondamentale della cultura italiana: «c’è una vera idolatria di madre; mamme, mammone, grandi madri di tutti i tipi dominano, in un’affascinante iconografia, i nostri firmamenti privati e pubblici; madre vergine, madre martire, mamma Roma, madre Lupa, madre patria, madre Chiesa» (Fellini 1974, p. 83). Le stesse donne protagoniste dei film del regista riminese sono spesso fantasie del materno, opulente, abbondanti, erotiche ma rassicuranti, simboleggiate dai grandi seni della tabaccaia in cui affonda e quasi scompare il ragazzino Titta in Amarcord, o dal corpo morbido e accogliente di Carla, l’amante-madre di 8 1/2 interpretata da Sandra Milo.Negli anni Cinquanta, l’intreccio tra divismo e immagine materna emerge in ruoli chiave che producono letture identitarie e metaforiche, in particolare quelle rappresentate da Anna Magnani, come Pina in Roma città aperta (Rossellini, 1945), madre della Resistenza uccisa dai tedeschi e prefiguratrice della rinascita italiana dopo la guerra; la madre volitiva di Bellissima (Visconti, 1952); quella tragica di Mamma Roma (Pasolini, 1962).Percorrendo la strada delle varie iconografie materne richiamate dalla prosa di Fellini, il mio intervento vuole analizzare il rapporto tra stardom e maternità nel cinema del dopoguerra attraverso l’esempio di Anna Magnani, il cui corpo costituisce un’immagine divistica segnata dall’ibridazione, per usare il termine di Morin, tra i suoi personaggi on screen e la sua maternità off screen, illustrata e raccontata dalla stampa popolare (Morin 1995)
TOX-OER: learning Toxicology through Open Educational Resources (Erasmus+ KA2 Strategic Partnership 2015)
No full textIn “Bucharest Communication”, 2012, European Higher Education Area, Ministerial Conference, it was stated: “We reiterate our commitment to promote student-centred learning in higher education, characterised by innovative methods of teaching that involve students as active participants in their own learning”. This project (TOX-OER) faces this principle joining as partners Universities and research centers from 7 European States, with high level of knowledge and skills in subdisciplines of Toxicology. This is a transversal science in human and environmental health, society well-being and economy, being part of high-education curricula in Pharmacy, Human and Veterinary Medicine, Environmental Engineering, Biology, Law/Regulation and Forensic Sciences. The profile of partners is adequate to the project needs, to transfer the scientific expertise from one to the other partners, to improve their scientific knowledge and skills, and to strengthen the educational offer and quality among the participating Universities.
This project aims to enhancing digital integration in learning, teaching, training and youth work at various levels by developing scientific, pedagogical, informative and formative materials in Toxicology (ICT-BASED), in their specialized field, which will be available both to all partners and through OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES (OER). The preparation of unified studying materials by experts on different areas will increase the quality of learning. Noteworthy, in this project, it will be design an international MOOC on Toxicology. To carry out the MOOC customization and implementation we have figured out five stages: syllabus; open Source MOOC platform; OER module creation; certifications and credit recognizable; harmonization of the OERs. This MOOC will be translated in all partner-country languages (Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, Czech, Bulgarian and Finnish) and potentially addressed to a plurality of target groups with different learning needs. Furthermore, it will be created conditions to recognize and certify the learning outcomes carried out by participants through the Toxicology MOOC fruition. This makes this material available to Europeans and also to South America and Africa people. Of note, the OER could be used in the Lifelong Learning scenario, being useful in long distance teaching in diverse social, economic and cultural contexts and reaching AUDIENCES OF DISADVANTAGED BACKGROUNDS. Thus, due to the lack of European MOOCs in Toxicology, the OER and the MOOCs resulting from this project will be fundamental resources to improve the access of learning, the active learning, the virtual and blended mobility. All the material will remain available even after project end.
The different target groups that will be reached and will benefit from this project are: a) staff of the consortium, benefiting of the various tools (like distance learning); b) scholars, undergraduate students, PhD students, post-docs of programs related to pharmacy, medicine, environmental protection, food safety, and forensic; c) interested professionals in the field: environment biologists and engineers, food and health professionals, authorities and police forces. Participation in scientific meetings and seminars and publication of the achievable tools in Toxicology journals will allow to disseminate the outcomes of the project in the academic environment. Toxicology is also important for general community as basic knowledge of the field can prevent risks associated to chemical exposure at home, in workplace and open environment, to drugs, “medicinal” plants, and drugs of abuse.
As methodology, communication between partners will be through physical meetings and virtual meetings (IT tools) will be held every three months and whenever necessary. Four full partnership meetings will be carried out, one at the beginning of the project in Salamanca for the scientific discussion of the toxicological themes, to be presented by the involved partners in workshops open to students and professors. Also, intensive learning courses will enable direct contact between interested students and experts in the selected fields of Toxicology. Two other interim meetings will be held in Bologna and Králové before the final meeting in Porto to prepare the final report of the project. This final meeting will include an open session to the community in order to share the outputs of the project and to discuss the pedagogical and scientific improvements with recognized experts in the area. The results will be used to prepare a future Join Master among the partners. In fact, after this project it is expected to increase the number of students interested in the courses related with Toxicology

Study Empowerment for inclusion
No full textIl contributo ha come scopo principale quello di sottolineare come, anche in contesti universitari, un intervento pedagogico sul metodo di studio possa essere per tutti gli studenti, e in particolare per le persone con disabilità o con Disturbo Specifico di Apprendimento (DSA), una efficace via per l’autodeterminazione e per l’inclusione. A partire da una attenta analisi della situazione internazionale in termini di dispositivi offerti dai centri di eccellenza universitari internazionali che accolgono studenti con disabilità e DSA, presentiamo il Progetto Inclusione 3.0 nella sezione relativa alla costruzione di un percorso di Study Empowerment rivolto a studenti universitari con dislessia che, attraverso un sistema integrato di dispositivi tecnologici, permetta di creare luoghi e tempi di vita universitaria inclusiva
L’identità autorevole. Il progetto d’identità visiva degli Istituti Culturali di San Marino
No full textIl contributo vuole approfondire il ruolo che il design strategico può rivestire nei processi di valorizzazione del patrimonio culturale in un piccolo contesto territoriale come San Marino, in cui istituzioni quali i Musei di Stato convivono, all’interno di un ristretto spazio turistico, con l’offerta pseudo-culturale e vernacolare di dubbia qualità proposta da realtà museali private. Considerando la mancanza di una riconoscibile strategia comunicativa dei musei statali come una vera e propria sottrazione di autorevolezza, si è ragionato sull’importanza del progetto di identità visiva come strumento in grado sia di conferire prestigio e visibilità al sistema museale statale che di attivare un progetto sinergico tra le varie realtà culturali del territorio
