THERAPEUTIC EFFICACY OF MAGNESIUM VALPROATE IN SUCCINIC SEMIALDEHYDE DEHYDROGENASE DEFICIENCY
2012
Succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency (SSADHD or gammahydroxybutyric aciduria), a disorder of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) metabolism, manifests as a slowly progressive or static encephalopathy. The latter encompasses prominent cognitive dysfunction, neuropsychiatric morbidity and epilepsy.We report safe and effective treatment with MgVPA in an adolescent female with SSADHD and seizures refractory to a broad spectrum of antiepileptics. MgVPA therapy (20 mg/Kg/day) was introduced at 7 years based upon behavioural difficulties and EEG alterations without adverse effects. Therapy was halted at age 13 years, and reintroduced at 14 years, due to new onset complex partial seizures. EEG dem…
Teachers' perceptions of student engagement and teacher self-efficacy beliefs
2014
This study examines the teachers’ perceptions of student engagement, teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs, and their interrelation. Affective engagement can be understood as belonging or relatedness as well as identification with school. Cognitive engagement can be conceived as engagement in classroom, self-regulation, learning goals and a student’s overall investment in learning. Measuring students’ engagement is crucial in that it helps educators predict and, by amending current teaching practices and policies, avoid poor performance or even drop-out. The teacher’s belief in herself and her potential is critical for the students’ overall performance in class. This study attempts to investigate…
La Self-Efficacy del Docente Universitario in Situazione di Emergenza Covid-19
2021
Le convinzioni che i docenti universitari possiedono sulla propria Self-Efficacy influenzano non solo il loro modo di lavorare, ma soprattutto gli esiti di apprendimento e il senso di autoefficacia dei loro studenti. La percezione di autoefficacia dei docenti nella didattica a distanza assume un ruolo ancora più importante in situazione di emergenza Covid-19. Il presente contributo indaga tale costrutto in un campione di 50 docenti universitari dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo, rilevando l’eventuale incidenza di variabili quali le esperienze pregresse di insegnamento nell’ambito della didattica a distanza e l’autoefficacia nell’utilizzo di tecnologie didattiche. University teachers’ c…
La Self-Efficacy dell’insegnante per l’inclusione
2020
Gli studi sulla Self-Efficacy, da circa un ventennio, si stanno interessando, con non poche difficoltà, del contesto educativo, in particolare il focus della ricerca si è spostato recentemente sulla figura del docente. Le convinzioni che gli insegnanti possiedono sulla propria Self-Efficacy influenzano, non solo il loro modo di lavorare, ma soprattutto gli esiti di apprendimento e il senso di autoefficacia degli allievi. La percezione di autoefficacia degli insegnanti nel costruire ambienti di apprendimento inclusivi assume indubbiamente un ruolo ancora più importante. Il presente contributo indaga tale costrutto in un campione di 503 studenti iscritti al corso per il conseguimento della sp…

Introduction: Previous research has documented greater vulnerability and exposure to stress among temporary workers due to labor uncertainty, especially in cases where temporary workers are considered peripheral workers in whom employers are unlikely to invest foster long-term organizational commitment and motivation to work (Becker, 1993; Amuedo-Dorantes 2000; De Cuyper & De Nitte, 2005; De Cuyper at al., 2008). Many characteristics of temporary employment adds to the vulnerability of temporary workers: poor job characteristics, highly monotonous work (Hall 2006), lower influence on workplace decisions (Aronsson et al. 2002; Parker et al. 2002), lower job satisfaction and lower organizatio…
