Intervention sociale, politique d’intégration des étrangers et territoire
No full textAmong the numerous fields of the social intervention, this paper focus on the measures facilitating the integration of the foreigner minors. The intercultural education is the favourite approach as it represents the natural “landing” of a multi-ethnic society aiming to set off the cultural differences on the base of a symbiotic and empathic exchange. What is, in particular, the effectiveness of the intervention measures centred on the linguistic factor? We intend to answer this question analysing the typology of the courses, the instruments, the financial and human resources employed in a context of recent installation of immigrants (and their descendants): Apulia Region in Southern Italy

No full textt: The increase of obesity and decline of fitness during childhood highlight the need for suitable interventions, designed to increase physical activity in children and adolescents. This paper aims to describe and identify the characteristics of three childhood obesity programs conducted in pediatric primary care setting and/or in school environment. Participants were overweight and obese boys and girls, aged 8 to 12 years. Children were assessed before and after the interventions with respect to body composition, physical activity, physical fitness, body image, perceived physical ability, enjoyment of physical activity, health related quality of life, and dietary habits. After treatments, overweight and obese children reported improvements in the body mass index, percent body fat, and in almost all health-related fitness tests. Psychosocial health related quality of life, body image, perception of physical ability, and physical activity enjoyment also improved at the end of the programs. For dietary habits, participants reported reductions in total and commercial food caloric intakes, with higher protein and lower fat consumptions from pre- to post-intervention. Results could have methodological implications for tailoring interventions to the needs of obese children. Findings encourage the adoption of a comprehensive approach focused on nutritional education and structured fun-based skill-learning physical activity

No full textCausal models are playing an increasingly important role in machine learning, particularly in the realm of explainable AI. We introduce a conceptualisation for generating argumentation frameworks (AFs) from causal models for the purpose of forging explanations for the models' outputs. The conceptualisation is based on reinterpreting desirable properties of semantics of AFs as explanation moulds, which are means for characterising the relations in the causal model argumentatively. We demonstrate our methodology by reinterpreting the property of bi-variate reinforcement as an explanation mould to forge bipolar AFs as explanations for the outputs of causal models. We perform a theoretical evaluation of these argumentative explanations, examining whether they satisfy a range of desirable explanatory and argumentative properties

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
