Abstract:

Il presente studio si propone d’indagare alcuni aspetti dell’apprendimento in età adulta, e in particolare dell’apprendimento della lingua inglese, in Italia. Esso si colloca nella prospettiva del lifelong learning e si inserisce nel filone di ricerca sulla validità degli assunti dell’andragogia. La metodologia utilizzata è lo studio di caso e gli adulti presi in considerazione sono persone in età compresa tra i 18 e i 65 e più anni, esclusi i giovani adulti universitari, e i loro docenti. La ricerca si è svolta in contesti di educazione formale e non formale e una parte di essa si focalizza s

Abstract:

La ricerca su "L'educazione di comunita' nelle strategie di Lifelong learning in eta' adulta. Le learning communities of place" si propone di analizzare i modelli di community education e di learning community e di descrivere i processi educativi e di apprendimento che si realizzano nei contesti locali e, nello specifico, nelle comunita'. Si assume, infatti, che nella comunita' la dimensione della prossimita' (fisica e relazionale), nella misura in cui fa da ponte tra l'individuo, il gruppo e la societa', rende il locale un ambito privilegiato non solo per fronteggiare i fenomeni di disorienta

Abstract:

La lettura è un’abilità fondamentale nella vita quotidiana. Essa si compone di due abilità chiave: la decodifica e la comprensione. Un lettore competente deve essere in grado di decodificare ciò che legge, pronunciandolo in modo corretto e di comprenderlo. Da sempre c’è stato grande interesse da parte dei ricercatori per la valutazione e il potenziamento di tale competenza. A fronte di numerosi studi rivolti all’età evolutiva, sono, tuttavia, pochi gli studi condotti sulle abilità di lettura e comprensione in età adulta. Gli strumenti ad oggi utilizzati per la valutazione di tale competenza t

Abstract:

La lettura è un compito cognitivo complesso caratterizzato da due processi fondamentali: da un lato la decodifica dei segni grafici nei corrispondenti suoni linguistici, e dall’altro la comprensione di ciò che viene letto. Quando si riscontrano difficoltà di decodifica del testo, cioè nel mancato riconoscimento della corrispondenza tra grafema e fonema, ci si trova di fronte ad un disturbo di lettura comunemente conosciuto come dislessia. La dislessia rientra nella categoria dei Disturbi Specifici di Apprendimento (DSA) ed è un disturbo nella lettura che compromette la capacità di leggere in m

This study concerns the strategy of lifelong and life wide learning as a form of "taking care of oneself".

In this context, the world has become more complex and the future more unpredictable in comparison with only few decades ago. The former collective agents (workers, women, social movements in general) seem to have vanished and the prospect of a public solution to the problems posed by the new/post modernity is very slim.

Abstract:

It is well established that early cannabis use during adolescence leads to neurobiological changes that can affect adult brain functions which in turn might lead to an increased vulnerability to drug abuse (Realini et al., 2009). Epidemiological evidence of cannabis use before other drugs has reinforced the idea of the "Cannabis gateway hypothesis" according to which early exposure to cannabis increases the risk of starting the use of harder drugs, such as heroin, cocaine and amphetamine (Kandel, 1975). Indeed, several studies have suggested the presence of significant functional interactions

The journey from adolescence to adulthood spans many years and may be delayed in young patients with chronic conditions, such as liver transplantation. Moreover, young patients are involved in a significant process of transition from the paediatric to adult care. The study is based on a theoretical framework that considers patient education as an empowerment process aimed to promote self-reflection and life skills through educational relationship and dialogue. 2.

Interspeech posture (ISP) is a term used to define the position of a person’s articulators when they are preparing to speak. Research suggests that ISP may be representative of a speaker’s phonological knowledge in a particular language, as determined empirically with ultrasound measures of the tongue in English-French bilinguals (Wilson & Gick, 2014). It is possible, therefore, that measuring ISP could be a diagnostic tool for determining phonological knowledge in bilingual speakers.

Abstract:

Les troubles mentaux sont une problématique considérable depuis plusieurs années. Afin de mieux répondre aux besoins des personnes atteintes de troubles mentaux, le Code des professions a redéfini les champs d’exercices de certaines professions touchées par cette problématique, dont les conseillers et conseillères d'orientation. Pour l’évaluation des personnes atteintes de troubles mentaux, les instruments psychométriques s’avèrent des outils d’évaluation fort utiles aux c.o. Le questionnaire Adult Self -Report (ASR), nouvellement traduit en français pour le Canada, est l’instrument de l’ASEBA

Abstract:

Les ECFC (endothelial colony forming cells) sont considérées comme des cellules endothéliales dérivées des progéniteurs endothéliaux circulants in vitro. Les capacités angiogéniques de ces cellules leur confère un intérêt thérapeutique pour traiter les lésions ischémiques résultant des pathologies cardio-vasculaires. Les ECFC isolées à partir de sang périphérique adulte (ECFC-SPA) sont moins fonctionnelles et perdent leur capacité à former des vaisseaux sanguins persistants contrairement aux ECFC de sang de cordon ombilical (ECFC-SC).

Abstract:

Le système postural est un complexe sensori-moteur qui assure deux grandes fonctions, la stabilisation et l’orientation du corps dans l’espace. Le contrôle postural est permis par l’intégration de trois entrées sensorielles - vestibulaire, somatosensorielle et visuelle-, par le système nerveux central qui réalise les transformations appropriées et coordonnées de ces informations pour générer les réponses musculaires adaptées. Durant de nombreuses années, la posture a été considérée comme un système régulé de façon automatique, mais de récentes études ont mis en évidence l’existence d’une régul

Abstract:

There are many negative consequences of childhood sexual abuse, (Browne Finkelhor, 1990). These effects do not vanish with adulthood and some adults stay scarred for life. However, it has been noted that some victims of childhood sexual abuse recover better than others regardless of the particular type of abuse. Could this adaptation be related to, or represent "hardiness" of the adult? The purpose of this report is to explore the hardiness of adult victims of child sexual abuse and the adaptation strategies practiced. To achieve this goal, The Health Related Hardiness Scale, created by Susan
