Studiare l’attività fisica attraverso l’analisi secondaria dei dati
No full textL’obiettivo di questo capitolo è fornire al lettore le principali caratteristiche metodologiche ed applicative dell’analisi secondaria. La proliferazione di
banche dati sul web, molte di queste ad accesso aperto (open data), sta modificando il modo di fare ricerca sociale sul fenomeno sportivo. Queste miniere di dati offrono grandi opportunità di analisi anche con budget ridotti e
in tempi contenuti. La conoscenza dei vantaggi, ma anche dei limiti, dell’analisi secondaria diviene, allora, strumento fondamentale per la costruzione
di nuove domande di ricerca che, ad esempio, privilegiano lo studio del cambiamento e la comparazione tra diversi contesti. Le modalità di consultazione
e accesso, dunque, alle statistiche ufficiali sullo sport, sia a livello nazionale e internazionale, resta un momento fondamentale all’interno di un percorso di ricerca secondari
Giocare un doppio misto: il campo dei Mixed Methods
No full textApproccio quantitativo e qualitativo possono essere combinati e integrati tra loro. È una pratica sviluppata negli ultimi decenni, ma si è diffusa solo recentemente, soprattutto in Italia. Il Mixed Method (MM) assegna medesima dignità ai due approcci, anche se la sua teorizzazione e applicazione assume tratti differenti a seconda degli autori. Per alcuni è una vera e propria rivoluzione, un cambio di paradigma, per altri una semplice scelta pragmatica che si può adottare durante una ricerca empirica
Introduzione
No full textÈ un prodotto editoriale che, seppur ampiamente presente all’interno
dei circuiti accademici internazionali, mancava nel contesto italiano dove, al
contrario, la ricerca sullo sport e l’attività fisica sta assumendo un ruolo sempre
più centrale per lo studio della società contemporanea e delle sue trasformazioni.
In particolare, le nuove stanno modificando
significativamente le e le modalità di
fruizione dello sport nelle In tal senso, il testo nel
suo complesso, indaga il mutamenti, procedendo
attraverso una e sulla realizzazione
di percorsi di emergenti. La pluralità dei contributi
è stata una struttura del testo che distingue
i metodi Tale distinzione, tradizionalmente
oggetto di avviso resta utile, soprattutto nella pratica
della didattica, per evidenziare le specificità e la complementarità dei due
approcci anche nell’analisi del fenomeno sportivo
Digital Practices, Communicative Codes and Social Inequalities: a Case Study During the Pandemic in Italy
No full textThis paper analyses the complex relationship between digital practices, communicative codes and social inequalities in the period of the pandemic in Italy, through the analysis of data collected from a broader research project based on a web survey administered to 13,473 Italians. The study examined the use of social media by the respondents to acquire information on the Covid 19 emergency situation. After having carried out a theoretical overview, making reference to the perspective of Mannheim - above all in the direction developed by Bernstein - multiple regression models were constructed; these were aimed at identifying possible relationships between aspects related to the use of social media as an information source and the degree of trust in the information conveyed, and the socio-cultural and occupational conditions of the respondents. The main results showed that disadvantaged groups are more inclined than other groups to find and trust information on social media, as this channel responds to the horizontal mode of communication that is more consistent with the specific code they possess
The employability skills of young offenders. Evidence from a European project
No full textThis paper presents the main results of an empirical research, carried out under a K2 Erasmus Plus European project, lasting from September 2014 to December 2016, aimed at supporting the social inclusion of young inmates and preparing them to deal with the labor market. The research, through a mixed methods approach which consisted of a com-bined use of a structured questionnaire and a focus group, allowed to investigate the skills that young offenders could develop in order to fos-ter the social integration after their release
Fare ricerca sociale sullo sport. Metodologia, tecniche, applicazioni
No full textUn manuale di metodologia della ricerca sociale applicata alle tematiche dello sport e dell’attività fisica. Un testo innovativo nel contesto italiano, risultato dell’esperienza di ricerca e di insegnamento di sociologi e metodologi delle scienze sociali che negli ultimi anni si sono dedicati agli Sport Studies. Un libro pensato sia per gli studenti dei corsi che prevedono l’acquisizione di conoscenze nel campo della ricerca sociale applicata ai fenomeni sportivi, sia per ricercatori e operatori pubblici e privati attivi nei settori delle scienze motorie, della promozione della salute e della progettazione in ambito educativo e sociale
Bio-products from algae-based biorefinery on wastewater: A review
No full textIncreasing resource demand, predicted fossil resources shortage in the near future, and environmental concerns due to the production of greenhouse gas carbon dioxide have motivated the search for alternative ‘circular’ pathways. Among many options, microalgae have been recently ‘revised’ as one of the most promising due to their high growth rate (with low land use and without competing with food crops), high tolerance to nutrients and salts stresses and their variability in biochemical composition, in so allowing the supply of a plethora of possible bio-based products such as animal feeds, chemicals and biofuels. The recent raising popularity of Circular Bio-Economy (CBE) further prompted investment in microalgae, especially in combination with wastewater treatment, under the twofold aim of allowing the production of a wide range of bio-based products while bioremediating wastewater. With the aim of discussing the potential bio-products that may be gained from microalgae grown on urban wastewater, this paper presents an overview on microalgae production with particular emphasis on the main microalgae species suitable for growth on wastewater and the obtainable bio-based products from them. By selecting and reviewing 76 articles published in Scopus between 1992 and 2020, a number of interesting aspects, including the selection of algal species suitable for growing on urban wastewater, wastewater pretreatment and algal-bacterial cooperation, were carefully reviewed and discussed in this work. In this review, particular emphasis is placed on understanding of the main mechanisms driving formation of microalgal products (such as biofuels, biogas, etc.) and how they are affected by different environmental factors in selected species. Lastly, the quantitative information gathered from the articles were used to estimate the potential benefits gained from microalgae grown on urban wastewater in Campania Region, a region sometimes criticized for poor wastewater management
Analgesic and sedative effects of epidural lidocaine-xylazine in elective bilateral laparoscopic ovariectomy in standing mule mares
No full textThe purpose of this study was to determine the analgesic efficacy and safety of epidu-ral lidocaine-xylazine administration in standing mules undergoing elective bilateral laparoscopic ovariectomy in order to suppress unwanted behaviour. Eight mule mares were sedated with intramuscular 0.05 mg/kg acepromazine followed by 1.3 mg/kg of xylazine and 0.02 mg/kg of butorphanol intravenously. Sedation was maintained by a constant rate infusion of 0.6 mg/kg/h of xylazine. The paralumbar fossae were infiltrated with 30 mL of 2% lidocaine. Epidural anaesthesia was performed at the first intercoccygeal space with 0.2 mg/kg of lidocaine and 0.17 mg/kg of xylazine. After 15 min, bilateral laparoscopic ovariectomy was performed. Heart rate, respiratory rate, rectal temperature, invasive arterial blood pressure, degree of analgesia, sedation and ataxia were evaluated during surgery. The laparoscopic ovariectomy was successfully completed in all animals. Sedation and analgesia were considered satisfactory in six out of the eight mules. In conclusion, caudal epidural block allowed surgery to be easily completed in six out of eight. The animals did not show any signs of discomfort associated with nociception and were mostly calm during the procedures, however additional studies are needed to establish epidural doses of xylazine and lidocaine that result in reliable abdominal pain control in mules for standing ovariectomy
