Methodological Guidelines Designed to Improve the Quality of Research on Cross-Country Skiing
2021
AbstractCross-country (XC) ski races involve a variety of formats, two different techniques and tracks with highly variable topography and environmental conditions. In addition, XC skiing is a major component of both Nordic combined and biathlon competitions. Research in this area, both in the laboratory and field, encounters certain difficulties that may reduce the reliability and validity of the data obtained, as well as complicate comparisons between studies. Here, 13 international experts propose specific guidelines designed to enhance the quality of research and publications on XC skiing, as well as on the biathlon and Nordic combined skiing. We consider biomechanical (kinematic, kinet…
Assessment of Burden Among Family Caregivers of Schizophrenia: Psychometric Testing for Short-Form Zarit Burden Interviews
2018
Objective: Although various short forms of Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) have been developed, there is a lack of standard psychometric testing and comparison among them.

Cultural Adaptation of the Modified Version of the Conflicts Tactics Scale (M-CTS) in Mexican Adolescents
2019
Several scales are used in Dating Violence studies assuming cross-cultural invariance and equivalence of the measures without making the proper validation in the intended populations. This study focuses on the importance of adapting existing dating violence psychological instruments (as the widely recognized Modified Version of the Conflict Tactics Scale, M-CTS) in diverse adolescent populations adjusting to international validation procedures that ensure the cultural fit of the instrument and the measurement invariance of the construct. We sought to adapt the M-CTS in Mexican adolescents (N = 1861; 57.5% woman) following the ITC Guidelines for Translating and Adapting Test. We made an anal…
Students’ Perceptions of Instructional Rubrics in Neurological Physical Therapy and Their Effects on Students’ Engagement and Course Satisfaction
2021
One of the main challenges faced by physical therapy (PT) students is to learn the practical skills involved in neurological physical therapy (PT). To help them to acquire these skills, a set of rubrics were designed for formative purposes. This paper presents the process followed in the creation of these rubrics and their application in the classroom, noting that students perceived them as valid, reliable, and highly useful for learning. The perception of the validity and usefulness of the rubrics has different closely related dimensions, showing homogeneous values across the students´ sociodemographic and educational variables, with the exception of dedication to studying, which showed a …

Note controcorrente in tema di nome familiare completo e rivendicazione di titoli nobiliari nei tribunali ecclesiastici
2009
Il diritto al nome familiare è stato oggetto di molte discussioni e risente dei profondi cambiamenti che si vanno operando nel contesto nazionale ed europeo. Cambiano i legami interni nella famiglia e la struttura di questa. Tuttavia il nome continua ad assolvere alla fondamentale funzione di identificare un soggetto rispetto un dato contesto sociale. Permane nel nome anche la funzione di tramandare un patrimonio familiare storico e ciò giustifica, insieme all’esistenza d’una apposita norma costituzionale (XIV cost. transit.), la possibilità di completare il cognome familiare con l’eventuale predicato nobiliare appartenete alla famiglia e riconosciuto prima dell’avvento del Fascismo. Dal mo…
Riferimenti. L'arte urbana e la Land Art
2008
L'articolo affronta il tema del rapporto tra arte, città e territorio, osservando come non sia affatto scontato che la realizzazione del grande manufatto artistico o lo svolgimento di un evento culturale – sia scultoreo, architettonico, teatrale o di Land Art – pur prodotto da artisti di chiara fama internazionale, sia di per sé capace di generare quel valore aggiunto di cui molte tra le più grandi città del mondo sono sempre alla ricerca per rilanciare la propria immagine ed ambire a ranghi sempre più elevati. Nel caso particolare di Gibellina la città possiede un rapporto opere d’arte/abitanti più alto di ogni altra città, e per tale motivo è molto nota in tutto il mondo ed attira un pubb…
