No full textL'articolo descrive una ricerca condotta in contesto napoletano su campioni di madri di tre differenti classi sociali, ed esplora i loro stili educativi mediante la somministrazione di strumenti elaborati dal gruppo di ricerca del sociologo del linguaggio Basil Bernstein. I risultati confermano sostanzialmente le ipotesi, che prevedevano una distribuzione degli stili materni, da meno autoritario a più autoritario, in funzione della tipologia sociale considerata
Erice 2018 Charter on the role of the National Health Service in the prevention of doping
No full textThe Erice 2018 Charter was unanimously approved at the conclusion of the 53rd Residential Course of the International School of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine “Adapted Physical Activity in Sport, Wellness and Fitness; the role of the Departments of Prevention and of the National Health Service in doping prevention and health promotion”, held on 15-19 May 2018 in Erice, Italy, at the “Ettore Majorana” Foundation and Centre for Scientific Culture, and promoted by the Study Group on “Movement Sciences for Health” of the Italian Society of Hygiene, Preventive Medicine and Public Health.
The event was part of a larger project supported by the Ministry of Health aimed at preventing doping in the general population involved in sport and physical activities. After an intense discussion the participants focused on ten statements involving the following critical issues: responsibility, priority, message, alphabetization, networks and alliances, school promoting health, player and opportunities, competences, know-how, programming
and acting.
These statements provide hints to approach doping within a public health frame and summarize the role of the Departments of Prevention and NHS in promoting and coordinating preventive actions with other institutions and stakeholders. Doping represents a complex phenomenon related to cultural, social, economic and legal issues. In addition to regulatory or repressive actions, education to health and legality is proposed as the fundamental strategy to contrast doping by promoting healthy lifestyles, based on scientific knowledge and respect for legality

Education to legality and doping
No full textWhen planning actions to prevent doping in the general population, public health operators may collide against the interests of criminal organizations involved in illicit trafficking of drugs. In addition to technical and professional expertise, or clinical and pharmacological skills, also a deep knowledge of legal and social issues is strongly required to face the problem and assure the effectiveness of the preventive actions. Sports competitions, athletes training or adapted physical activity may all represent conditions and environments at risk for misusing or abusing drugs and dietary supplements. A correct approach to sport and physical activity implies respect of competition rules, attention to own body limits and knowledge of risk factors. Health education campaigns and preventive actions should also consider education to legality in the different settings. The comprehension of the complex net that is available to access doping, locally or globally through online Internet sites, is essential as well as the awareness of the huge economic burden of crime interests behind the illicit trafficking of drugs. A modern whole rounded approach needs to consider doping not only as a violation of sport rules but also of the own body health, representing almost a form of addiction involving individuals and communities, and being supported by crime. Within this frame, doping is considered not just as a sport violation or a risk factor for individual's health, but as a disease of the society, in the society, against the society. A peculiar equilibrium seems to prevail between crime external pressures and resigned internal acceptance, according to the 'mafia hypothesis' model, where hosts accept parasitism to avoid retaliation. Here, main contributes and topics from the Erice 53rd Course are summarized and reviewed, providing links and references for further studies in the field. Health education and education to legality represent two sides of a same question, concerning both the general population and the health authorities. In conclusion, education to legality is a key component for prevention of doping and a priority for public health operators involved in protecting population health
Peer Education strategies for promoting prevention of doping in different populations
No full textIn the field of doping prevention, alongside the traditional functions of repression and control of the phenomenon, educational aspects are becoming increasingly important. Article 18 of the World Anti doping Code obliges the signatories to invest in anti-doping education with the aim of preserving the spirit of sport. The educational commitment should involve young people in health promotion interventions for the prevention of risk behaviors. Therefore, our attention has focused on finding the mechanisms that lead people to make certain behavioral choices
Evaluating school based comprehensive sexuality education using non randomized cluster design study
No full textExisting evidence demonstrated the effectiveness of Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) in providing adolescents with rightful and appropriate information to improve knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours about sexuality. However, there is no consensus on the optimal methodological approach to evaluate CSE interventions. Here we propose a protocol to assess the outcome of a standardized evaluation strategy on adolescents’ knowledge about sexuality. This research is part of a national Italian project on school-based CSE (EduForIST), funded by the Italian Ministry of health
Reading Democracy and Education in the Context of World War I
No full textIn this historical study, the author offers a reading of Dewey’s Democracy and Education in the context of the two other books Dewey published the year before, German Philosophy and Politics and his coauthored Schools of To-morrow. Having published three books in two years, Democracy and Education arrived at the end of one of Dewey’s most prolific periods. Through these three texts, Dewey offered a pointed critique of authoritarian German politics, philosophy, and schooling and crafted an innovative pedagogy grounded in progressive democratic ideals as contrast. Using Germany as a clear and present foil, Dewey clarified his ideas on American democratic and pedagogical ideals in the context of World War I
