La percezione della legalità nella scuola, lo sviluppo economico e del capitale sociale nell’Italia meridionale. Una misura di sintesi e un confronto sul territorio nazionale.
No full textL’obiettivo del lavoro è stato identificare e verificare le relazioni che legano il capitale sociale e la crescita economica alla percezione della legalità, nelle regioni italiane con particolare interesse a quattro regioni dell’Italia meridionale, Calabria, Campania, Puglia e Sicilia, appartenenti all’Obiettivo Convergenza dell’Unione Europea, cercando un punto di sintesi tra i risultati di due metodologie di analisi della legalità percepita tra i ragazzi degli Istituti di Istruzione Secondaria di Primo e di Secondo Grado (Progetto PON Sicurezza) da un lato e di stima del Capitale Sociale.
Si ritiene di aver apportato un elemento di novità, avendo integrato l’approccio individuale della stima della percezione della legalità degli adolescenti (parte del concetto di capitale sociale individuale di Backer) del Progetto PON con la proposizione di un modello di stima, strutturale, della misura del Capitale Sociale, identificato con le reti di relazioni interpersonali, con gli atteggiamenti culturali e con i comportamenti effettivamente tenuti dagli agenti, la società adulta, insistenti sul medesimo territorio.
Il primo dato che emerge dai risultati delle due analisi è che le reti di relazioni, il cosiddetto “Fattore di Prossimità”, è fondamentale sia dal punto di vista del singolo individuo (percezione della legalità, scelta di denunciare o di omertà) sia dal punto di vista della vita civica. In particolare, quando sono molto presenti i legami forti familiari, come nelle quattro regioni dell’Italia meridionale, oggetto del Progetto PON, è più difficile lo sviluppo individuale verso la società e, di conseguenza, a livello macro, uno sviluppo sociale, culturale ed economico del territorio. Laddove invece esistano legami familiari meno forti, a vantaggio dei legami deboli, rappresentati dalla rete di amicizie, di conoscenze, di partecipazione ad attività di volontariato e culturali, lo sviluppo del capitale sociale e di quello economico sono agevolati dalla fiducia nel vicino, da rapporti diretti con i singoli o con le Istituzioni, e non mediati da fattori protezionistici quali legami “para-sociali” o di legalismo esclusivamente normativo. Il secondo risultato da evidenziare è che livelli più alti di partecipazione ad attività e iniziative culturali sono fortemente e positivamente correlati con l’interesse per la politica, l’abitudine di tenersi informati leggendo i giornali, la partecipazione associativa e il consumo di beni relazionali e significativamente e negativamente correlati con il capitale sociale familiare

No full textQuality Teaching through Mobility: CEI University Network Cusina L., Di Biase R., Paolino L., Pibernik T., Zicari S. University of Trieste and CEI-ES - Italy Abstract This paper provides an overall view of the CEI (Central European Initiative) University Network. Founded in November 2003, with its headquarters in Trieste (Italy), the network aims at creating cooperation among the universities of the 17 Member States of the Initiative: Albania, Austria, Belarus, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Macedonia, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Serbia & Montenegro, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine. The Network supports the mobility of students and teachers, by implementing Joint Programmes, such as PhDs, Master’s courses, summer schools, seminars and workshops. Joint Programme proposals are to fall within the three main Areas of Cooperation (Economics, Public Administration and Communication including IT), they should involve at least 2 universities belongin
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Computer tailored nutrition education: Mediterranean diet.
No full textGoal of this work is to promote via on-line applications the knowledge of the Italian Weekly Pyramid, which is based on the concept of WI (Well Being Index) as a unit for a correct lifestyle. On the website www.piramideitaliana.it the user can verify his/her weekly lifestyle by participating in a "game" based on the introduction, for seven consecutive days, of food and beverages consumption and time assigned to physical activity. At the end of the seven days it is possible to access the page with an evaluation of dietary habits together with the possible suggestions for a correct lifestyle. On the basis of the data collected through this web game, a statistical analysis has been developed to evaluate the food habits and the level of physical activity. In the period between September 2005-January 2010 16,546 participants have completed the game. The data collected compare actual WI consumption for each food group with the one suggested by the Pyramid. The sample eating pattern appears almost varied; all the food groups were consumed daily, albeit in much lower quantities with regard to the suggested portions. It is pointed out that some differences in the nutritional habits are related to differences in age groups and in the school degree of the sample analyzed. This work highlights the importance of web-based tailored interventions on population food habits: many people can be reached to promote the knowledge of the guidelines leading to a healthy lifestyle
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
