PROJECT ON THE BODY OF PEOPLE WITH PHYSICAL DISABILITIES BETWEEN IDENTITY, SEXUAL EMBODIMENT AND SPORT
Get PDFIf the sexuality of disabled people, in its complexity of embodiment, is considered a cultural taboo, a mere physiological problem in medicine, and has not been the subject of much attention from the social sciences, it should be noted that
even the disability policies themselves have only recently begun to recognize their myopia with respect to sexuality.
The concept of sexual citizenship has offered a promising way forward, aiming to relate the sexual self and the social
self, thus framing sexuality in a perspective that integrates desires and rights, intimacy and civil recognition, sexual
bodies and legislative bodies. A further focus on the corporeity/disability binomial can be found by deepening the
educational value of sports practice for the disabled person, and the social and cultural phenomenon of the Paralympic
Games. The pedagogical-special feld, is actually increasingly expanding today - in line with the recent “UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities” - to the problems that emerge in relation to work integration, the right to
leisure and recreation, and basically to the search for an adult identity for the disabled person. Accordingly, it is in this
broadened horizon of perspective of the Special Pedagogy studies that we can integrate and investigate the formative
value of the corporeal dimension, the educational and social value of sport for the disabled people
Narrare l’esperienza professionale di persone con la Sindrome di Down
Get PDFThe work experience allows to broaden the range of tools (such as knowledge, behaviors andskills) that each individual can dispose of to increase their self-determination and calls, ineveryone, the possibility of "believing" that the other has skills that they wait to emerge and tobe empowered, in order to develop a multifaceted identity in their Life Project. Work inclusionmust be embodied in good practices that build concrete possibilities to carry out work projectsthat are "real" and "realistic". Often it is the Associations that in the national context plan andimplement social and work inclusion interventions. Among these, the project, promoted by theItalian Association of Down People, entitled "Who finds a job finds a treasure" and funded bythe Ministry of Labor and Social Policies, is particularly interesting. The article aims to explorethe narratives of the professional stories and professional projects of twenty young adults withDown syndrome in the Italian context. Specifically, it was decided to carry out an exploratorystudy starting from the epistemological and methodological paradigm of the Grounded Theory(Glaser & Strauss, 1967) and to carry out the qualitative analysis of the data using NVIVO software(Richards, 1999). We also propose a reading of the data that emerged in the light of thequality of life perspective
La didattica inclusiva per una scuola di tutti e per tutti. Dal riconoscimento dei bisogni educativi speciali alla personalizzazione degli apprendimenti
Get PDFThe article focuses on a significant cultural shift occurring in Education: from integration to inclusion in both national and international contexts. Such a shift is analyzed in the light of the special educational need construct and its repercussions in teaching and teacher training in order to promote Learning for all
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
