MALE VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN: INTEGRATION BETWEEN PSYCHOLOGICAL AND NEUROSCIENTIFIC DATA AND THEIR USE IN FORENSIC EVALUATION FOR THE JUDGMENTS
2020
Human growth and development, starting from conception, are characterized by a progressive increase in body and organ dimensions, as well as specific functional maturity, under the influence of genetic as well as environmental and epigenetic determinants. Beyond a possible normal familial trait, increased fetal growth resulting in a large for gestational age newborn, isolated macrosomia or that associated with congenital malformation, can be attributable to both maternal metabolic and genetic pathology. Overgrowth syndromes are a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by excessive tissue development often concomitant to neurodevelopmental involvement. Recently, an increased risk of f…

2014
El procés de millora d'ensenyament- aprenentatge en el context universitari ha generat l'aplicació de noves o millorades tècniques docents, les quals fomenten una participació activa de l'alumne i una major interacció amb el professor. L'objectiu d'aquest treball ha estat analitzar el grau de satisfacció de l'alumnat universitari amb una de les innovacions docents més populars, sobretot, pel seu baix cost i senzillesa, que és el one minute paper, la qual va registrar una alta taxa de participació en el context analitzat. En particular, aquesta experiència docent es va fer en una assignatura de comptabilitat en el Grau d'Administració i Direcció d'Empreses de la Universitat de Santiago de Co…
Sixth graders evaluating online texts : self-efficacy beliefs predict confirming but not questioning the credibility
2023
This study investigated how sixth graders’ credibility evaluation self-efficacy was associated with their ability to evaluate the credibility of online texts. Students (N = 265, Mage = 12.45) worked in a web-based environment, where they read and evaluated two more credible texts and two less credible texts that required confirming and questioning the texts’ credibility, respectively. Students were asked to evaluate the author’s expertise, the author’s benevolence, and the quality of evidence in each text. They were also asked to assess their credibility evaluation self-efficacy during the task. The structural equation model indicated that students’ self-efficacy was positively associated w…

ORAL EXPRESSIVE COMPETENCE’S DEVELOPMENT BY USE OF MINDTOOLS
2015
The aim of this work is to verify the efficacy of a training programme focused on the enhancement of oral expressiveness (the generation of ideas and planning, pragmatic awareness), realized with a group of children between 10 and 12 years, in the last year of primary school and in the first year of secondary school in the Palermo area. The educational activities were conducted from January to June 2014. Action learning provided a learning environment based on real problem solving with team work; the active search for information, discussion and reflection, as well as decision-making, were assisted by semantic networks (concept maps) and knowledge construction tools. Oral presentation, or p…

Promotions and Earnings – Gender or Merit? Evidence from Longitudinal Personnel Data
2017
This study examines the determinants of promotions, performance evaluations and earnings using unique longitudinal data from the personnel records of a large university. The study focuses on the role of gender in remuneration using, first, information on the complexity ratings of job tasks to define promotions on job ladders and, second, information on objective individual productivity. The study finds that individual research productivity was an important determinant of promotions and earnings. The results indicate that gender has no effect on the probability of being promoted, conditional on productivity, nor does it play a role in the performance evaluation of employees. Furthermore, the…
