Tracking oneself for others: communal and self-motivational value of sharing exercise data online
2021
Self-tracking is increasingly popular in recreational sport. Leisure sports practitioners use wearable devices that are connected to online platforms to record, analyse, and share their exercise data. While doing that they interact with a digital system, with themselves, and with peers. This paper examines social-communicative aspects of self-tracking, and the support that these aspects and their associated practices may provide for physical activity behaviour. Data for the study was collected using an online survey and in-depth interviews with Finnish trail runners. The results indicate that sharing exercise data with others on a regular basis can support physical activity behaviour becaus…

Fonti per la storia del Manicomio di Palermo alla Vignicella (1884-1902)
2020
Il testo ripercorre le tappe che hanno condotto alla realizzazione di una delle più vaste opere pubbliche di stampo sanitario realizzate a Palermo nel XIX secolo: l'Ospedale Psichiatrico alla Vignicella. Tramite l’individuazione e l’analisi delle principali fonti ottocentesche e dei primissimi del Novecento, pur confrontandosi con la più recente letteratura periegetica, si fissano alcuni punti fermi rispetto alla progettazione ed esecuzione dei lavori, oltre che, non di meno, in relazione alla concezione scientifica sulle quali erano state fondate. Le immagini d’epoca accompagnano il testo in senso illustrativo e documentario. The text traces the steps that led to the construction of one of…
Siostry elżbietanki w Festung Breslau
2013
Stolica biskupstwa wrocławskiego odegrała istotną rolę w funkcjonowaniu Zgromadzenia Szarych Sióstr św. Elżbiety. Przed 1945 r. mieściły się tam władze zarządu generalnego, nowicjat, a pomoc chorym, ubogim, dzieciom i starcom niosło dziewięć placówek wspólnoty. Wraz ze zbliżaniem się Armii Czerwonej do Wrocławia, podobnie jak w innych klasztorach, wrocławskie elżbietanki stały przed dylematem, czy ewakuować się z zagrożonych terenów, czy pozostać z tymi, którzy z różnych względów nie mogli uciekać. Zgodnie z charyzmatem nadanym zgromadzeniu przez Marię Merkert wiele elżbietanek pozostało w celu niesienia pomocy starcom, chorym, matkom małych dzieci. Angażowały się do pracy w lazaretach zami…

Millaisena 1930-luvun potilas koki mielisairaalan, ja miten potilaat kertovat sairaalassa kohtaamastaan pakosta ja väkivallasta? Millainen sairaalakokemus on jättänyt hyvät ja lämpimät muistot? Monitieteinen teos perustuu ainutlaatuiseen muistitietoaineistoon, joka avaa uusia näkökulmia mielisairaaloiden arkeen, histo…
