Educare alla corporeità nel rapporto col reale, tra esteriorità ed interiorità
Full text linkWith this essay we want to investigate the pedagogical value of body mediation,in order to find the true meaning of life, the beauty and potentialityembedded in man, in a harmonic way, between the exteriority of the worldwe live in and inwardness of experiences and intimate values that everyman owns.The body becomes then an expression of the intimate substantial reality ofthe person, which may facilitate, transform and enhance the individual dimensionof man.It is important to explore the theoretical and epistemological basis of bodyeducation as means of communication, in order to restore the balance betweendifferent instances, between the outer self and inner self, betweenthe body and the inwardness, expecially in case of changes.Con questo saggio si vuole indagare il valore pedagogico della mediazionecorporea, al fine di ritrovare il senso autentico del vivere, del ritrovare labellezza e le potenzialità incorporate nell’uomo, in armonia tra l’esterioritàdel mondo in cui viviamo e l’interiorità dei vissuti e dei valori intimi chel’uomo possiede.Il corpo diventa così espressione intima della realtà sostanziale della persona,che può agevolare, trasformare e valorizzare la dimensione individualedell’uomo.Esplorare i fondamenti teorici ed epistemologici dell’educazione del corpocome vettore comunicativo, inserito nel contesto socio-culturale attuale,dovrebbe ristabilire l’equilibrio tra diverse istanze, tra il sé esteriore e il séinteriore, tra il corpo e l’interiorità, specialmente quando vi sono dei cambiamenti
L’esigenza di formazione nello sport e nelle attività motorie: tra economia e pedagogia
Full text linkEuropean and Italian situation in sport leads to think over the professionaland training importance of sport. A reflection on Italian sporting populationwill be made, analysing how it can be considered as an economic and workingforce, as stated by EC.The question: “Who cares about people that practise sports?” will be examinedunder both economic and educational aspects. Starting from these observationsthe importance of training in sport will be shown.Modern society wishes to fulfil all needs people have. The purpose of life isthe possession of anything instead of the pursuit of truth and mutual benefit.Through a specific training, sport as educational way can give a pedagogicknowledge that allows to develop educational values of this primaryhuman activity.Therefore, it is necessary to educate to liberty and well-being in sport, and thisis possible only through a training for people who practise sport activities.La situazione sportiva europea ed italiana porta a riflettere sull’importanzaprofessionale e formativa dello sport. Verrà fatta una riflessione sulla popolazione sportiva italiana, analizzando come essa possa essere consideratauna forza economica e lavorativa, come affermato dalla Comunità Europea.Verrà esaminata la domanda “Chi si occupa della popolazione che praticasport?” sia sotto l’aspetto economico che educativo. Partendo da queste osservazioni verrà evidenziata l’importanza della formazione nello sport.La società moderna mira a soddisfare tutti i bisogni delle persone. Lo scopodella vita sta diventando il possesso delle cose invece della ricerca della veritàe del bene reciproco.Attraverso una formazione specifica, lo sport come metodo e strumento educativo può fornire una conoscenza pedagogica che permette di svilupparei valori educativi di questa importante attività dell’uomo.Quindi, è necessario educare alla libertà e al benessere nello sport, e ciò èpossibile solo attraverso una formazione di coloro che praticano l’attivitàsportiva
Lo straordinario valore educativo dello sport
Full text linkIn our society, gratification, achievement and well-being as sport values are held in high regard only in theory, unfortunately.Indeed, sport values are still defined by generic trends which aren’t punchy enough on experience.Sport values and disvalues will be identified through a pedagogical point of view, and prompts of search and method to apply to concrete situations will be provided.Education to values through sport must be an answer to human needs of growth, of relationship with other people and reality, which can be good or rough, but true indeed.Nella nostra società, la gratificazione, il risultato ed il benessere come valori sportivi sono tenuti in grande considerazione solo in teoria, purtroppo.Infatti, valori sportivi sono tuttora definiti da orientamenti generici che non sono sufficientemente incisivi sulla pratica.I valori e disvalori dello sport verranno individuati da un punto di vista pedagogico, fornendo indicazioni di ricerca e di metodo da applicare a situazioni concrete.L’educazione ai valori attraverso lo sport deve essere una risposta al bisogno umano di crescita, di relazione con gli altri e con la realtà che può essere buona o cattiva ma comunque vera

La condivisione in ambito educativo di valori pedagogici ed ecologici mediati dagli animali nelle attività motorie e sportive
No full textHuman-animal interaction and its benefits have been a topic of interest in recent decades, but how this interaction can benefit both species remains unclear. In the case of companion animals, the focus of many studies is on human-dog interaction. When they live together, humans and dogs share activities, and when they share an enjoyment of daily activities such as walking and interacting with others, they are considered compatible in their activity preferences. Individuals who are more compatible with their dogs also report having a better relationship with them, which could explain some of the benefits of human-dog interaction. Recreational or functional walks with dogs represent authentic lifesavers, both in physical and cognitive health aspect, these promote impact programs of well-being and public health. There is a great ecological and pedagogical potential mediated by dogs in sharing physical activity, going out educational strategies are envisaged. Alongside individual factors, socio-ecological models underline the fundamental role of social and urban planning factors in supporting physical activity, in this perspective dog walking can represent the advance in nature. The emotional involvement in human dog interaction spontaneously leads to respect for natural environments and the adoption of conscious and correct behaviors towards nature
Cognitive impairment and stroke in elderly patients
Full text linkWe reviewed current knowledge about the interaction between stroke and vascular risk factors and the development of cognitive impairment and dementia. Stroke is increasingly recognized as an important cause of cognitive problems and has been implicated in the development of both Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia. The prevalence of cognitive impairment after stroke is high, and their combined effects significantly increase the cost of care and health resource utilization, with reflections on hospital readmissions and increased mortality rates. There is also substantial evidence that vascular risk factors (such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, dyslipidemia, and tobacco smoking) are independently associated with an increased risk of cognitive decline and dementia. Thus, a successful management of these factors, as well as optimal acute stroke management, might have a great impact on the development of cognitive impairment. Notwithstanding, the pathological link between cognitive impairment, stroke, and vascular risk factors is complex and still partially unclear so that further studies are needed to better elucidate the boundaries of this relationship. Many specific pharmacological treatments, including anticholinergic drugs and antihypertensive medications, and nonpharmacological approaches, such as diet, cognitive rehabilitation, and physical activity, have been studied for patients with vascular cognitive impairment, but the optimal care is still far away. Meanwhile, according to the most recent knowledge, optimal stroke care should also include cognitive assessment in the short and long term, and great efforts should be oriented toward a multidisciplinary approach, including quality-of-life assessment and support of caregivers
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
