Du déclin à l’émancipation : changer les paradigmes dans la recherche éducative sur le troisième âge en Italie
No full textLe phénomène du vieillissement de la population mondiale a été défini comme “une mutation démographique sans précèdent en train de modifier le visage du monde” (NU, 2002). Les démographes estiment qu’ici à 2050, pour la première fois dans l’histoire du genre humain, le nombre de personnes âgées dans le monde dépassera celui des jeunes.
Cet énorme phénomène interroge les sciences sociales, ainsi que les systèmes d’assistance publique. Le vieillissement de la population pose plusieurs questions de participation, citoyenneté, santé et cohésion sociale, bien sur concernant les hommes et les femmes qui vieillissent, mais aussi par rapports aux relations intergénérationnelles qui deviennent plus fréquentes et significatives. La plupart de ces questions sont plutôt abordées d’un point de vue médicale, que risque de mettre à part la marge d’auto-émancipation que les personnes âgées, peuvent exercer et l’importance des relations avec les jeunes et les adultes, dans ces dynamiques émancipatoires. Penser au vieillissement en termes d’auto-émancipation, d’émancipation intergénérationnelle, et d’empowerment, demande un changement de paradigme par rapport à l’idée même du troisième âge, des relations entre générations et du soin des personnes âgés.
Ce travail vise à tracer des voies à travers lesquelles la recherche éducative participative peut accompagner ce changement de paradigme, permettant de sortir de ce qu’on appelle « perspective adulte-centrique » (Chattat, 2004), pour investir sur l’émancipation des personnes âgées et des jeunes et adultes qui sont engagés dans des relations intergénérationnelles.
Ce travail va analyser trois parcours de recherche formations engageant des professionnels qui travaillent avec différentes catégories de personnes âgées pour montrer quelle méthode et quelle posture de recherche participative et quelles relations permettent d’accompagner le changement de paradigme, d’une vision de la vieillesse autant que âge de déclin et de perte, à moment de la vie où l’accompagnement vers une auto émancipation existentielle est toujours possible.
On va donc présenter trois dispositifs de recherche-formation dans les trois domaines suivants :
- éducation intergénérationnelle: comment jeunes et personnes âgés (surtout les jeunes retraités) peuvent s’engager réciproquement dans des relations éducatives emancipantes (Luppi, 2015) ;
- monitoring des personnes âgées fragiles : comment évaluer la marge d’autonomie et d’auto émancipation en créant des relations entre personnes âgée et assistant sociaux (Luppi, 2010);
- soins des personnes âgées: comment former les professionnels à un travail de soins visé à l’autonomie et à l’émancipation des personnes âgées (Luppi, 2015/2016)

The bis (1-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinyl)-decandioate (IAC) is an innovative nonconventional
radical scavenger used with success in several disease models, such as inflammation,
neurological disorders, hepatitis and diabetes. To date, the main limit for the drug use is
represented by the intraperitoneal (i.p.) route of administration used in the pharmacological
treatments. In order to develop a delivery system that allowed both oral administration and the
therapeutic efficacy, Solid Lipid Microparticles (SLMs) containing a theoretical 18% w/w of IAC
have been produced. Recently, three formulations (A, B, C) have been tested at different dosages
in an inflammation and pain rat model. Inflammatory model was induced by the use of an
intraplantar injection of 100ml/paw of Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA). Administered per os at
different dosages, IAC B (60% stearic acid-20% Compritol® HD5 ATO) was the most efficient
formulation in reducing oedema and alleviating pain, compared to the gold standard Paracetamol.
Since the anti-diabetic effects of the i.p. formulation of IAC was already demonstrated in vivo, we
are now investigating the therapeutic efficacy of the selected (B) oral IAC formulation (SLMs) in
streptozotocin-nicotinamide diabetic mice
Education for Older Adults: an Exploratory Study
No full textIn many European countries, the last few decades have seen the emergence of a demographic phenomenon without precedence and of notable social impact: an overall ageing of the population.
In Europe, current debate has shown that it is now no longer sufficient to focus on rights in old age with the focus having shifted to the rights of every citizen to quality of life in old age. Educational initiatives aimed at the over 65's form part of a group of strategies aimed at guaranteeing quality ageing and at providing these individuals with the means to exercise their rights as active citizens. The educational and training environment for the elderly is becoming progressively richer and diversified and the growing importance of this phenomenon is food for thought in pedagogical and didactic terms. In this respect, education is one of the central needs of this age group. These “new learners” in “new contexts” represent somewhat of a challenge to pedagogy that must now reconsider the educational opportunities open to elderly people.
This work outlines an analysis of education initiatives aimed at the elderly. It examines the characteristics of the old aged learner, his/her “educability” and the foundations for an educational approach for this age group. These theoretical assumptions form the basis of this research: an exploratory study into various educational and training environments offered to the elderly. The analysed approaches suggest characteristics and means of understanding the multiple facets of the research subject, whilst the research findings allow us to understand certain aspects of the educational contexts which the elderly learner encounters, in order to delineate a didactic approach for old age.
The elderly today find that they must deal with the demands of a continually changing society. Education must aim to facilitate the acquisition of knowledge that will allow them to adopt an active and participatory approach to this change and that guarantees the exercise of their citizen’s rights. An approach to education for the third age must encourage the development of all of the abilities and resources that allow the individual to actively participate as a citizen. It is very important to put into place the conditions that allow the elderly to fulfil important educational experiences that can lead both to personal growth, in term of the acquisition of knowledge and abilities and are opportunities for relationship building, communication and interaction with others, whether they are elderly, adult or young. Educational initiatives whilst they must have as their central focus the older learner, should attempt to cross over generational barriers, furthering to bridge the gap between old age and other life phases.
The rights of the elderly can be guaranteed through an approach that involves these individuals both in the learning process and in shaping their learning contexts. It is very important to put into place the conditions that allow elderly people to engage in important learning experiences.
How to guarantee citizens' rights through education, what are the most suitable, useful and efficient teaching and learning models, how to lay the foundations for a learning relationship with the elderly, how to use the educational experience to further inter-generational relationships, these are just a few questions that an educational approach for the older learner should try to address
Introduction of 4(S)-oxazolidineacetic acid, 2-oxo (D-Oxac) motif in a polypeptide chain: Synthesis and conformational analysis
No full textA four step synthesis of 4(S)-oxazolidineacetic acid, 2-oxo benzyl ester (D-Oxac-OBn) from L-Asp-OH in 45% overall yield is reported. The formation of by-products is completely avoided, by microwave irradiation and by the use of caesium carbonate as base. Moreover the synthesis and IR and 1H NMR conformational analysis of the tetramers Boc-L-Val-D-Oxac-L-Ala-OBn and Boc-L-Val-D-Oxac-Aib-L-Ala-OBn in solution is reported
MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations
No full textInformation overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank
