Optimization of the Speech Test Material in a Group of Hearing Impaired Subjects: A Feasibility Study for Multilingual Digit Triplet Test Development
2021
Background: The development of the global digit-in-noise test requires optimization of each language version on a group of normal-hearing native-speakers. An alternative solution may be an adaptive optimization during ongoing tests in a group of subjects with unknown hearing impairments. The objective of the research was to compare the optimization results between these groups. Methods: Digit triplets consisting of three pseudo-randomly selected digits were presented in speech-shaped noise at various signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), according to the protocol of the final speech test. Digit-specific and position-specific speech reception thresholds (SRTs) were determined and compared between g…
Servizio sociale e Covid-19 in accoglienza: strategie di prossimità e di cura
2021
La gestione dell’accoglienza in tempi di coronavirus ha risentito del clima di generale spaesamento che si è registrato nell’intero paese, aggravando le criticità già esistenti e impegnando gli assistenti sociali con una tempistica che stravolge i ritmi naturali di lavoro. Immediatezza e improcrastinabilità degli interventi, difficoltà di contatto con i servizi del territorio, crescita esponenziale delle situazioni di emergenza emotiva e psicologica, coinvolgimento della sfera e dei tempi privati del professionista, inadeguatezza dei protocolli ordinari e altro ancora. Condizioni che hanno messo e mettono a dura prova l’essenza stessa di una professione che, invece, si fonda sull’empatia, s…
Communicating through ancillary gestures: Exploring effects on coperformers and audiences
2020
Musicians make elaborate movements while performing, often using gestures that might seem extraneous. To explore these movements, we motion-captured and audio-recorded different pairings of clarinetists and pianists performing Brahms’ Clarinet Sonata No. 1 with two manipulations: (a) allowing the performers full vs. no visual feedback, and (b) allowing the performers full vs. partial auditory feedback (i.e., the clarinetist could not hear the pianist). We found that observer ratings of audio–visual point-light renditions discriminated between manipulations and refined this insight through subsequent audio-alone and visual-alone experiments, providing an understanding of each modality’s cont…
Rola biskupa Franciszka Jopa w dziele odnowy liturgicznej Kościoła po Vaticanum II
2016
Patrząc z perspektywy 40 lat od śmierci pierwszego biskupa opolskiego na jego wpływ na recepcję odnowy liturgicznej w Polsce i w jego diecezji, trzeba zdecydowanie podkreślić jego pozytywny wkład w to dzieło. Analiza dokumentów i jego osobistych notatek pokazuje nam osobę bardzo pracowitego biskupa, który niewątpliwie należał do grona najaktywniejszych polskich ojców soborowych. Jego solidne wykształcenie, znajomość języków obcych, głęboka pobożność oraz gorliwa i roztropna działalność pasterska zjednały mu wielki szacunek w rzymskich komisjach, a także w gronie polskiego Episkopatu. Jako biskup opolski wiedział, że był zobowiązany do wprowadzenia odnowy liturgicznej w swojej diecezji. Było…
Believe It or Not – No Support for an Effect of Providing Explanatory or Threat-Related Information on Conspiracy Theories’ Credibility
2021
Past research suggests that certain content features of conspiracy theories may foster their credibility. In two experimental studies (N = 293), we examined whether conspiracy theories that explicitly offer a broad explanation for the respective phenomena and/or identify potential threat posed by conspirators are granted more credibility than conspiracy theories lacking such information. Furthermore, we tested whether people with a pronounced predisposition to believe in conspiracies are particularly susceptible to such information. To this end, participants judged the credibility of four conspiracy theories which varied in the provision of explanatory and threat-related information. Intere…
Social Work with Refugees and Migrants in Italy
2021
Social Work in Italy has been tackling the internal migration phenomenon since the post-WW II period, when more than 1,300,000 Italian citizens from poor southern regions, where employment was scarce, moved to the center and to the industrialized north of Italy (Simone 2016). Since then, and as early as the late 1980s, social workers have had to deal with flows of migrants and refugees from other countries. Faced with the growing commitment of Social Work to the field of migration, the professional community has been called to reassess both the training of social workers and the updating of methodology and functions, especially with regard to the adaptation of professional work and ser- vic…
Tourism and reception in the ancient world
2010
If we broaden the notion of ‘tourism’ to mean ‘integrated relational tourism’, based on the interpersonal relationships of friendship between guest and host, and serving to strengthen the bonds between different countries and cultural traditions and between man and territorial, historical, artistic and oenological-gastronomic patrimony, we realize that this formula is only apparently ultramodern, in that it is rooted in remote times. An outstanding example is what we are told in the Homeric poem, the Odyssey, regarding that exceptional ‘tourist’ named Ulysses who, sailing from one coast to another, is shipwrecked, escaping from the furious sea, on the island of the Pheacians where the touri…
The aporia of the European myth. How LGBTI+ migrants are stranded in the Italian reception system
2021
Considerando l’aumento di migranti e la tipologia di accoglienza orientata ad un approccio assistenziale standardizzato e omogeneo, il presente articolo indaga gli effetti della preponderanza di un sistema di prima accoglienza, nell’identificazione ed assistenza ai richiedenti asilo SOGI (sexual orientation and gender identity). La risposta tempestiva di un apparato di accoglienza basato su un approccio di sopravvivenza a breve termine, tende a ignorare le particolari esigenze dei richiedenti asilo SOGI, e di sottovalutare il rischio di violenza dentro dei centri dalla parte degli altri ospiti. Quindi, questo saggio intende riflettere se, i migranti SOGI sono una categoria vulnerabile per s…
