Uso de redes sociales online en personas mayores de 55 años : un análisis exploratorio
2012
Es una aproximación cualitativa al uso y percepción que tienen los mayores de 55 años, de las tecnologías de la comunicación e información (TIC); Concretamente del uso de las redes sociales online. Mediante la técnica de los grupos de discusión trataremos de buscar los prejuicios, mitos conocimientos, motivaciones, barreras, etc. del uso o no de las redes sociales online. It is a qualitative approach to the use and perception of over 55 years of technology and information communication technology (ICT), specifically the use of online social networks. By the technique of focus groups will try to find the prejudices, myths, knowledge, motivations, barriers, etc.. use or not online social netw…
Lifelong Learning in Seniors in the Perspective of the Neuro- and Psychosocial Concept
2019
Niezwykle istotne z perspektywy procesów zachodzących we współczesnym społeczeństwie jest całożyciowe uczenie się. Obecnie idea uczenia się przez całe życie, w obliczu konsekwencji starzenia się społeczeństwa, nabiera nowego znaczenia, gdzie nadrzędnym celem staję się optymalizacja aktywności społecznej oraz polepszenie jakości życia osób starszych. Proces przyswajania wiedzy związany jest z możliwościami mózgu człowieka, gdzie w wyniku starzenia się, organ ten również przechodzi fazę atrofii (starzenia się mózgu). Jednym ze sposobów przeciwdziałania tego niekorzystnego procesu jest właśnie lifelong learning, czyli całożyciowe uczenie się. Idea edukacji osób starszych aktualnie znajduje się…
Performances Recovery of Flax Fiber Reinforced Composites after Salt-Fog Aging Test
2022
In the present paper, the performance recovery under conditions of discontinuous exposure to a marine environment of a natural fiber-reinforced composite (NFRC) reinforced by flax fibers was assessed. In particular, this laminate was initially exposed to salt-fog for 15 and 30 days, and then stored in a controlled air condition for up to 21 days. The flax fiber-reinforced composite showed coupled reversible and irreversible aging phenomena during the wet stage, as well as evidencing a significant mechanical recovery during the dry stage. Unlike the stiffness, the laminate showed a noticeable recovery of its flexural strength. This behavior affected the composite material toughness. A simpli…
Le regole del caso. Modelli di razionalità
1996
L'autrice si cimenta in una riflessione argomentativa che trova i suoi capisaldi nel pensiero di M. Weber e J, Habermas nella individuazione di due elementi fondativi della definizione di razionalità: razionalità plurima ed idealtipica, quella della Verstehende Soziologie di Weber, razionalità procedurale, quella del Kommunicatives Handeln di Habermas. Sullo sfondo la dialettica caso/regole del sapere,
La responsabilitat social universitària i la construcció d’una societat per a totes les edats
2019
espanolEl presente ensayo ofrece una reflexion sobre el rol que puede ejercer la responsabilidad social universitaria en la construccion de una sociedad para todas las edades, concepto propuesto por Naciones Unidas (1995a; 2003) e inspirado en los principios de respeto, proteccion, solidaridad intergeneracional e inclusion de las personas mayores. Durante anos las personas mayores representaron un grupo minoritario excluido y socialmente estigmatizado. En virtud de los avances cientificos y tecnologicos que han prolongado la vida, el progresivo aumento del numero de aquellas, a nivel mundial, ha suscitado la creacion de politicas en favor del respeto e igualdad social, que frenen la reprodu…
Quality culture boosts agile transformation : Action research in a business‐to‐business software business
2023
Agile methodologies are sometimes adopted, with the assumption that benefits can be attained by only using a set of best practices, which can sometimes work to a degree. In this paper, a case is discussed where a software-producing organization of seven teams achieved significant improvements. The goal of the research was to answer two questions: how an already agile organization could improve its performance further and what is the impact of promoting quality aspects? The questions were answered by implementing interventions based on prior literature and data emerging from semi-structured interviews. The context was an established business with a complex revenue stream structure, meaning t…
AGE6. Skin Ageing: Focus on the Role of Inflammatory Genetic Factors in Cutaneous Neoplasia
2014
AGE6. Skin Ageing: Focus on the Role of Inflammatory Genetic Factors in Cutaneous Neoplasia C. M. Gambino1, F. Crapanzano1, G. Accardi1, A. Aiello1, C. Virruso1, G. Pistone1, M. R. Bongiorno1, D. Lio1, C. R. Balistreri1, G. Candore1 1University of Palermo, Palermo, Italy Background: Skin aging is a complex process that involves intrinsic and exogenous causes. Photo-oxidative damage caused by UV is the leading cause of extrinsic aging of the skin, known as photo-ageing. UV damages can be linked mostly to overproduction of ROS that induces a complex molecular cascade able to accelerate physiological aging, determining a typical dermal/epidermal inflammation with an increased risk of getting s…
Role of Menopausal Transition and Physical Activity in Loss of Lean and Muscle Mass : A Follow-Up Study in Middle-Aged Finnish Women
2020
In midlife, women experience hormonal changes due to menopausal transition. A decrease especially in estradiol has been hypothesized to cause loss of muscle mass. This study investigated the effect of menopausal transition on changes in lean and muscle mass, from the total body to the muscle fiber level, among 47–55-year-old women. Data were used from the Estrogenic Regulation of Muscle Apoptosis (ERMA) study, where 234 women were followed from perimenopause to early postmenopause. Hormone levels (estradiol and follicle stimulating hormone), total and regional body composition (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and computed tomography (CT) scans), physical activity level (self-reported…
Advantages of Hyaluronic Acid and Its Combination with Other Bioactive Ingredients in Cosmeceuticals
2021
This study proposes a review on hyaluronic acid (HA) known as hyaluronan or hyaluronate and its derivates and their application in cosmetic formulations. HA is a glycosaminoglycan constituted from two disaccharides (N-acetylglucosamine and D-glucuronic acid), isolated initially from the vitreous humour of the eye, and subsequently discovered in different tissues or fluids (especially in the articular cartilage and the synovial fluid). It is ubiquitous in vertebrates, including humans, and it is involved in diverse biological processes, such as cell differentiation, embryological development, inflammation, wound healing, etc. HA has many qualities that recommend it over other substances used…
Hopes and Limits of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ADSCs) and Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) in Wound Healing
2020
Adipose tissue derived stem cells (ADSCs) are mesenchymal stem cells identified within subcutaneous tissue at the base of the hair follicle (dermal papilla cells), in the dermal sheets (dermal sheet cells), in interfollicular dermis, and in the hypodermis tissue. These cells are expected to play a major role in regulating skin regeneration and aging-associated morphologic disgraces and structural deficits. ADSCs are known to proliferate and differentiate into skin cells to repair damaged or dead cells, but also act by an autocrine and paracrine pathway to activate cell regeneration and the healing process. During wound healing, ADSCs have a great ability in migration to be recruited rapidly…
