La formazione tecnica di eccellenza per il lavoro del futuro. Una ricerca-intervento su domanda e offerta formativa tecnica nel mercato del lavoro bresciano
Full text linkIl tema del disallineamento (mismatch) tra le competenze professionali acquisite dai giovani nei percorsi di istruzione-formazione e quelle richieste dalle aziende rappresenta una questione cruciale per la comprensione del rapporto scuola-lavoro nella realtà economica contemporanea. Prendendo spunto dal progetto di ricerca-intervento “Buone pratiche per il lavoro del futuro” realizzato dal Centro Formativo Provinciale “G. Zanardelli” di Brescia all’interno del programma “Lombardia Eccellente” di Regione Lombardia, il volume propone una lettura
ragionata di questa tematica, con particolare attenzione al contesto bresciano e ai settori meccanico ed elettrico illustrando - nella prima parte – i risultati di una ricerca quali-quantitativa svolta su diversi gruppi della popolazione (studenti della formazione professionale, docenti, datori di lavoro) e - nella seconda – le indicazioni che sono state tratte dalla ricerca, al fine del miglioramento dell’offerta formativa sotto il profilo didattico, metodologico e della dotazione tecnologica del Centro. Nella parte conclusiva, vengono delineate le politiche di sviluppo del C.F.P. “G. Zanardelli” alla luce dell’esperienza maturata nel progetto
The role of group identification, self- and collective efficacy on secondary traumatic stress and general health in a sample of emergency medical service volunteers
Full text linkThis paper reports the results of a web-based survey on the relationship between group identification, secondary traumatic stress, and psychological distress in a sample of Italian emergency medical service volunteers. The theoretical foundation of this research was based on the social cure approach that suggests that group identification can increase people's wellbeing by enhancing the sense of social support and mastery. Responses from 1214 volunteers (50% men) were collected and structural equation modeling was performed to assess direct and indirect effect of group identification on both secondary traumatic stress and psychological distress. Results supported expectations, and indicated that group identification was associated with decreased secondary traumatic stress and psychological distress: this relation was both direct and mediated by self-efficacy and collective efficacy. Self-efficacy and collective efficacy completely mediated the relationship between group identification and secondary traumatic stress, while mediation was partial for the relationship between group identification and psychological distress. Moreover, our findings revealed that collective efficacy had a higher impact on psychological distress than on secondary traumatic stress. Self-efficacy, instead, had a significant negative effect on both secondary traumatic stress and psychological distress. Finally, secondary traumatic stress had a strong relationship with psychological distress. The practical implications for volunteers' wellbeing and volunteer association are discussed in view of the need to improve collective positive resources
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
