Promoting social inclusion in sporting contexts: the different abilities motor program.
No full textPhysical actions are a complex and articulated set of functional processes for the initiation, monitoring and execution of non-automatic, but adaptive and directed behaviors for a purpose. The studies carried out in the field of neuroscience, motor science and the consequent didactic applications have highlighted the need to initiate processes of design and organization of content, the organizational methods and methodologies in physical education and in the introduction to sport, to integrate and modulate factors inherent in the inclusive quantity and promote adaptive and preventive practices to reach more and more people with different needs.
For disabled people, in fact, the movement is the element thanks to which the body can find a condition of balance and coping with the stress caused by the chronic condition.
This is demonstrated by the growing interest that the issue has aroused in recent decades, with the enactment of supranational regulatory arrangements that recall the right of all minors, without distinction, to an education capable of involving in a harmonious way every dimension that constitutes the human being, including the education of the body; stressing the essential nature of mainstreaming in physical education and sports practices.
National and supranational policies, through the NRRP, underline how physical education plays a privileged role in countering the phenomena of exclusion and marginalization, in the period between childhood and adolescence, especially for people with disabilities. In this perspective, the present contribution is dedicated to the description of the DAMP - Different Abilities Motor Program and to the results of the first experience of its application.
The three-year research course, which took place in 2019-2021, involved 58 disabled athletes and had the purpose of monitoring the creation and application of a suitable motor program to enhance the real skills of students with the identification of strengths and critical areas
Promuovere l’inclusione attraverso il Programma Motorio Abilità Diverse
Full text linkGli studi svolti nell’ambito delle neuroscienze, delle scienze motorie e le conseguenti applicazioni didattiche, hanno posto in evidenza la necessità di avviare processi di progettazione e organizzazione dei contenuti, delle modalità organizzative e delle metodologie in educazione fisica e nell’avviamento allo sport, per integrare e modulare fattori inerenti la quantità inclusiva e promuovere pratiche adattive e preventive per raggiungere sempre più persone con diverse esigenze.
Le politiche nazionali e sovranazionali, attraverso il PNRR, sottolineano come l’educazione motoria rivesta un ruolo privilegiato per contrastare i fenomeni dell’esclusione e della marginalizzazione, nel periodo compreso tra l’infanzia e l’adolescenza, in particolare per le persone con disabilità. In questa prospettiva, il presente contributo è dedicato alla descrizione del PMAD - Programma Motorio Abilità Diverse e ai risultati della prima esperienza di applicazione dello stesso.The studies carried out in the field of neurosciences, motor sciences and the consequent didactic applications have highlighted the need to start processes for the planning and organization of contents, organizational methods and methodologies in physical education and in introducing sports, to integrate and modulate factors inherent in inclusive quantity and promote adaptive and preventive practices to reach more and more people with different needs.

Resilienza e promozione del benessere: l’allenamento multilaterale metodo didattico innovativo per persone disabili
Full text linkPhysical activity for people with disabilities is an opportunity to cope with high stress situations and meet individual needs. Intentionally educational sport is the expression of fundamental human values: loyalty, discipline, rigor, emotional self‐gov‐ ernment, promotion of feelings of self‐esteem and solidarity. These values are useful to develop resilience in order to over‐ come, flexibly, adverse conditions finding functional forms of adaptation to the negative contexts that are being experienced and to the psycho‐physical difficulties that can occur in a disabled person.
The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a physical education program within the overall framework of in‐ dividual training and personal growth of people with disabilities. The effects of a motor program based on the eight‐month Multilateral Training (MT) teaching method on physical efficiency and resilience in people with disability. The study carried out in the academic year 2021‐2022 involved 20 disabled athletes.
The results show that in athletes, the MT teaching method has been effective in increasing physical efficiency and resilience capacity, highlighting the need to orient sports teaching practice increasingly towards an inclusive model adapted to the needs of the user
MULTILATERAL TRAINING AS AN INNOVATIVE TEACHING METHOD TO SUPPORT THE RESILIENCE IN PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
No full textIn recent years the ability of human beings, and some of them, to transform a critical event, potentially destabilizing, into a motive of proposition that allows to reorganize positively the existence has aroused considerable interest.
Physical activity for people with disabilities is an opportunity to cope with high stress situations and meet individual needs. Intentionally educational sport is the expression of fundamental human values: loyalty, discipline, rigor, emotional self-government, promotion of feelings of self-esteem and solidarity. These values are useful to develop resilience in order to overcome, flexibly, adverse conditions finding functional forms of adaptation to the negative contexts that are being experienced and to the psycho- physical difficulties that can occur in a disabled person.
It is no coincidence, moreover, that national and European supranational policies have for years placed the research and development of transversal motor pathways that involve all individuals, from childhood to adulthood regardless of their abilities, for the promotion of psychophysical well-being.

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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
