Education and working life: VET adults' problem-solving skills in technology-rich environments
2015
The rapidly-advancing technological landscape in the European workplace is challenging adults' problem-solving skills. Workers with vocational education and training need flexible abilities to solve problems in technology-rich work settings. This study builds on Finnish PIAAC data to understand adults' (N?=?4503) skills for solving problems in technology-rich environments. The results indicate the critical issue that more than two thirds of adults with vocational education and training have weak skills or lack the skills in solving problems in technology-rich environments and that more than one fifth of these adults are at risk. Furthermore, this study indicates that the likelihood of havin…

A Comprehensive Analysis Regarding DESI Country Progress for Romania Relative to the European Average Trend
2017
Abstract In the absence of globally coherent specifications and standards, digitalization would never have spread across the world in such a huge extent as it did. The availability of digital technologies has significantly increased in the last decade, shifting the focus of policy-makers from on the diffusion of these technologies to their usage by governments, companies and also individuals. Actually, digital technologies and internet became the main forces for transforming the modern world and its economy. Activating within a turbulent environment, Romania faced many challenges in the last three years, but it managed to perform better from period to period. Relative to the past performanc…
L’apprendimento generativo e il reflective learningnella didattica universitaria: una ricerca con studenti universitari
2020
The present paper describes the results of a research carried out with 205 students attending the 2nd year of the degree course in Primary Education from the University of Palermo in A.Y. 2018-2019. Generative and reflective learning are the framework of the research, central in the teaching-learning process for the construction of professional, competent and responsible teachers. The research path wanted to verify the validity of the McDrury and Alterio Storytelling model (2003) in order to increase students reflective, narrative and critical competence, to promote generative learning and make students aware of their talents.
Motor and linguistic linking of space and time in the cerebellum
2009
Background: Recent literature documented the presence of spatial-temporal interactions in the human brain. The aim of the present study was to verify whether representation of past and future is also mapped onto spatial representations and whether the cerebellum may be a neural substrate for linking space and time in the linguistic domain. We asked whether processing of the tense of a verb is influenced by the space where response takes place and by the semantics of the verb. Principal Findings: Responses to past tense were facilitated in the left space while responses to future tense were facilitated in the right space. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the right cereb…
Copenhagen consensus statement 2019: physical activity and ageing
2019
From 19th to 22nd November 2018, 26 researchers representing nine countries and a variety of academic disciplines met in Snekkersten, Denmark, to reach evidence-based consensus about physical activity and older adults. It was recognised that the term ‘older adults’ represents a highly heterogeneous population. It encompasses those that remain highly active and healthy throughout the life-course with a high intrinsic capacity to the very old and frail with low intrinsic capacity. The consensus is drawn from a wide range of research methodologies within epidemiology, medicine, physiology, neuroscience, psychology and sociology, recognising the strength and limitations of each of the methods. …
Cuidado de pacientes oncológicos: una revisión sobre el impacto de la situación de estrés crónico y su relación con la personalidad del cuidador y ot…
1970
Objetivo: La incidencia y prevalencia de enfermedades de larga duración como el cáncer se ha incrementado en los últimos años. En este contexto, nuestro principal objetivo será el análisis de las principales consecuencias que la exposición a una situación de estrés crónico, como es el cuidado de un paciente oncológico, tiene sobre la salud psicosocial y la función cognitiva del cuidador informal y su relación con variables moduladoras. Método: Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica en las bases de datos PubMed y PsychINFO sobre las consecuencias de la situación de cuidado en pacientes crónicos. Resultados: Diversos estudios sugieren que la condición de cuidador de un paciente oncológico pued…
The Copenhagen Concensus Conference 2016: Children, youth, and physical activity in schools and during leisure time
2016
From 4 to 7 April 2016, 24 researchers from 8 countries and from a variety of academic disciplines gathered in Snekkersten, Denmark, to reach evidence-based consensus about physical activity in children and youth, that is, individuals between 6 and 18 years. Physical activity is an overarching term that consists of many structured and unstructured forms within school and out-of-school-time contexts, including organised sport, physical education, outdoor recreation, motor skill development programmes, recess, and active transportation such as biking and walking. This consensus statement presents the accord on the effects of physical activity on children's and youth's fitness, health, cogniti…
Improvement of gross motor and cognitive abilities by an exercise training program: three case reports

Methods: The integrated exercise training program was used in three children with Down syndrome, comprising two boys (M1, with a chronological age of 10.3 years and a mental age of 4.7 years; M2, with a chronological age of 14.6 years and a ment…
