Apprendere ad abitare il mondo. Riflessioni pedagogiche e filosofiche sulla consegna educativa

2020

The text draws the lines of an education ontology, according to progressive levels of in-depth analysis of the experience. The first one is proper of the fundamental pedagogy and sets up its central category: the educative relationship is consignment of a meaning heritage to self-realization. The second one is proper of the philosophy of education, whose purpose is justifying a more original consignment, beyond its ethos, to the history and the being. As a matter of fact, both the immanence in the history and the conscience of a correlated transcendence are constitutive of the consignment. This is a further level and the task becomes foundational: what is not explained within the experience…

Socio-demographic characteristics have been suggested as risk factors in the development of burnout, although empirical stud…

Employability and Disability: New Challenges towards Equal Opportunities

2014

Abstract It is a fact that once passed the stage of compulsory education, the transition of a disabled child towards adult life and the world of employment is an increasing source of worry for parents. It is a process that terrifies parents and guidance is required as much for parents as for pupils to access useful employment or worthwhile activities and the adult world, besides personal autonomy and independence. This communication analyzes the different educational and occupational alternatives for disabled pupils. The employment of this group is recognized as key to enabling the disabled to participate fully in society and to achieve personal independence. It can also be the axis of an o…

Atlas construction and image analysis using statistical cardiac models

2010

International audience; This paper presents a brief overview of current trends in the construction of population and multi-modal heart atlases in our group and their application to atlas-based cardiac image analysis. The technical challenges around the construction of these atlases are organized around two main axes: groupwise image registration of anatomical, motion and fiber images and construction of statistical shape models. Application-wise, this paper focuses on the extraction of atlas-based biomarkers for the detection of local shape or motion abnormalities, addressing several cardiac applications where the extracted information is used to study and grade different pathologies. The p…

The spatial distribution of population exposure to outdoor air pollution in Valencia (Spain) and its association with a privation index

2013

Objetivo: Evaluar la variación espacial de la exposición a dióxido de nitrógeno (NO2) en la ciudad de Valencia y su relación con la privación socioeconómica y la edad. Métodos: La población por sección censal (SC) procede del Instituto Nacional de Estadística. Los niveles de NO2 se midieron en 100 puntos del área de estudio, mediante captadores pasivos, en tres campañas entre 2002 y 2004. Se utilizó regresión por usos del suelo (LUR) para obtener el mapa de los niveles de NO2. Las predicciones del LUR se compararon con las proporcionadas por: a) el captador más cercano de la red de vigilancia, b) el captador pasivo más cercano, c) el conjunto de captadores en un entorno y d) kriging. Se asi…

Delayed mixis in rotifers: an adaptive response to the effects of density-dependent sex on population growth

2004

In most cyclically parthenogenetic life cycles, sex is needed to produce resting stages. In several species of cyclically parthenogenetic rotifers, some generations of clones are not responsive to a density-dependent signal that triggers sexual female production. These unresponsive rotifers hatch from resting eggs and typically pass 8–12 generations of female parthenogenesis before becoming receptive to the mixis signal. We addressed the selection for mixis delay using a simulation model. A delay of sexual reproduction could increase population growth through parthenogenesis and thus the number of resting eggs ultimately produced. In a monomorphic population without mixis delay, we determin…

Inbreeding depression in perennial Lychnis viscaria (Caryophyllaceae): effects of population mating history and nutrient availability.

2005

We studied inbreeding depression in a perennial plant, Lychnis viscaria, in three populations differing in their inbreeding history and population size by measuring several traits at two nutrient levels over the plant's life cycle. The observed levels of inbreeding depression (cumulative inbreeding depression, from -0.057 to 0.629) were high for a plant with a mixed mating system. As expected, the population with a low level of isozyme variation expressed the least inbreeding depression for seed germination. Highest inbreeding depression for germination was found in the largest and genetically most variable population. No clear differences between populations in expression of inbreeding dep…

2014

Captive breeding for conservation purposes presents a serious practical challenge because several conflicting genetic processes (i.e., inbreeding depression, random genetic drift and genetic adaptation to captivity) need to be managed in concert to maximize captive population persistence and reintroduction success probability. Because current genetic management is often only partly successful in achieving these goals, it has been suggested that management insights may be found in sexual selection theory (in particular, female mate choice). We review the theoretical and empirical literature and consider how female mate choice might influence captive breeding in the context of current genetic…

Influences of geographic differentiation in the forewing warning signal of the wood tiger moth in Alaska

2014

Aposematic organisms have warning signals advertising their unpalatability to predators, and because signal efficiency is better in higher densities, positive frequency-dependent selection is expected to select against less common signals. The wood tiger moth (Parasemia plantaginis) occurs across the Holarctic and its conspicuous hindwings serve as warning signals to predators. It also has conspicuous black and white forewing patterns that could act as warning signals, or help to hide the moth by preventing predators from seeing the outline of the moth’s body (a strategy known as disruptive coloration). In Alaska, the predominant forewing pattern changes distinctly between the regions aroun…
