Facilitating leadership team communication
2015
The purpose of this study is to understand and describe how to facilitate competent communication in leadership teamwork. Grounded in the premises of social constructionism and informed by such theoretical frameworks as coordinated management of meaning theory (CMM), dialogic organization development (OD), systemic-constructionist leadership, communication competence, and reflexivity, this study seeks to produce further insights into understanding leadership team communication, communication competence, and team facilitation as applied communication research. This study consists of five articles. The first focuses on the theoretical framing of the relationality of communication competence i…
International distance learning design experiences. Above the clouds, a project for a temporary event in the Bolognetta valley
2021
The health emergency due to the spread of COVID-19 has required a methodological and technological adaptation to the entire world of teaching and researching, in order to define in a brief time new methods for designing and teaching. In consideration of this, Campus Asia1 decided to organize one of the key events of its educational offer in a distance learning form, an international winter school with overn eighty participants and five international guest universities. Together with Kyushu University (China), Tongji University (Japan) and Pusan National University (South Korea), the edition held between 15 and 26 February 2021 saw the participation of two European partner universities, the …
Influence of Calcium Carbonate Nanoparticles on the Soil Burial Degradation of Polybutyleneadipate-Co-Butylenetherephthalate Films.
2022
A polybutyleneadipate-co-butylenetherephthalate (PBAT) sample, commercially known as Ecoflex®, was processed via melt extrusion with CaCO3 nanoparticles coated with a hydrophobic coating. Blown films of PBAT and two composites with nanofiller (2% and 5%wt) were prepared and degradation tests in soil at 30 °C up to 180 days were carried out with weight loss measurements. Furthermore, biodegradation test according to ISO 14851 was carried out at 30 °C. The effect of CaCO3 on soil burial degradation was assessed by surface wettability and SEM. ATR-FTIR and XPS analyses highlighted chemical modifications induced by soil degradation. CaCO3 nanoparticles decreased surface wettability …
When feeling and action come together in educational practice. Relations between development education and service learning for a global citizenship
2016
Las problemáticas basadas en el desarrollo constituyen un tema recurrente eneducación. Tras resaltar la relevancia de la Educación para el Desarrollo (EpD) comoelemento fundamental en la construcción de una ciudadanía global, el objetivo de esteartículo consiste en relacionarla con una cultura educativa, el Aprendizaje Servicio(ApS). Éste pretende ser, así, un análisis teórico exploratorio e interpretativo sobre laspotencialidades que puede aportar el ApS en la consecución de las metas planteadaspor la EpD. Esta vinculación no sólo repercute en la mejora substancial de la prácticade ambas creando sinergias positivas, sino que su universalización constituye unaclara incidencia positiva en el…

Flexural Behavior of Steel Fibrous Reinforced Concrete Deep Beams
2012
Experimental research was carried out regarding the flexural behavior of deep beams cast with plain and fibrous concrete with hooked steel fibers, and subjected to monotonic vertical loads. Four deep fiber-reinforced concrete beams were cast. Two of them were made of plain concrete with main and web steel reinforcements (RC), and two were made of hooked steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) with main steel reinforcements. The experimental results show the brittle behavior of reinforced deep RC members characterized by crushing of concrete struts and fracture of web steel bars. SFRC deep beams exhibit higher strength and, above all, ductility with respect to RC members due to the bridging a…
Voimaharjoittelun vaikutukset dynaamiseen ja staattiseen tasapainoon nuorilla ja ikääntyneillä
2017
Tasapainolle ei ole olemassa universaalia määritelmää mutta se tiedetään, että sitä kontrolloivat useat eri mekanismit. Ikääntyminen aiheuttaa siinä heikkenemistä, joka aiheutuu muutoksista sekä sensorisissa että motorisissa prosesseissa. Kaatumisesta aiheutuneiden vammojen määrä kasvaa koko ajan ikääntyneillä. Heidän onkin havaittu pärjäävän nuoria huonommin sekä staattisissa että dynaamisissa testeissä mutta dynaamisissa testeissä ero on vieläkin suurempi. Erityisesti dynaamisten ominaisuuksin tutkiminen on tärkeää sillä staattiset testit eivät välttämättä paljasta tasapaino-ongelmia tai ikääntymiseen liittyviä eroja yhtä hyvin kuin dynaamiset testit. Tämän tutkimuksen suoritti loppuun 4 …

Modulations of corticospinal excitability following rapid ankle dorsiflexion in skill- and endurance-trained athletes
2022
Abstract Purpose Long-term sports training, such as skill and endurance training, leads to specific neuroplasticity. However, it remains unclear if muscle stretch-induced proprioceptive feedback influences corticospinal facilitation/inhibition differently between skill- and endurance-trained athletes. This study investigated modulation of corticospinal excitability following rapid ankle dorsiflexion between well-trained skill and endurance athletes. Methods Ten skill- and ten endurance-trained athletes participated in the study. Corticospinal excitability was tested by single- and paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulations (TMS) at three different latencies following passive rapid ankl…
