Motivating Physical Activity for Individuals with Intellectual Disability through Indoor Bike Cycling and Exergaming.
2022
People with intellectual disabilities have more sedentary lifestyles than the general population. Regular physical activity is of both medical and social importance, reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and promoting functioning in everyday life. Exergames have been envisioned for promoting physical activity; however, most of them are not user-friendly for individuals with intellectual disabilities. In this paper, we report the design, development, and user acceptance of a mobile health solution connected to sensors to motivate physical activity. The system is mounted on an indoor stationary bicycle and an ergometer bike tailored for people with intellectual disabilities. The develop…
Anti-Inflammatory Activity of Citrus bergamia Derivatives: Where Do We Stand?
2016
Inflammatory diseases affect a large portion of the worldwide population, and chronic inflammation is a major risk factor for several dangerous pathologies. To limit the side effects of both synthetic and biological anti-inflammatory drugs, the use of herbal medicines, nutraceuticals and food supplements has increased tremendously as alternative and/or complementary medicine to treat several pathologies, including inflammation. During the last decades, the biological properties of Citrus bergamia (bergamot) derivatives have obtained important scientific achievements, and it has been suggested their use in a context of a multitarget pharmacological strategy. Here, we present an overview of t…

Intersoggettività e “prospettiva in seconda persona”: una nuova cornice sulle relazioni educative nei nidi d’infanzia
2017
The article reflects on kindergartens’ specificity, focusing on the intersubjective perspective. By this perspective, the developement and the construction of the Self can’t be separated from the perception of the “other” and it is a process working, since birth, through an “embodied relationship”. According to the infant research and the neurosciences studies, the article analyzes the quality of the relationships between adults and children and explores how it can affect personality development, self-image, and learning processes. Finally, the professional skills necessary for educators in kindergartens are deepened, looking at the needs of the children during their first years.
High energy gamma ray counterparts of astrophysical sources of ultra-high energy cosmic rays
2004
If ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) are accelerated at astrophysical point sources, the identification of such sources can be achieved if there is some kind of radiation at observable wavelengths that may be associated with the acceleration and/or propagation processes. No radiation of this type has so far been detected or at least no such connection has been claimed. The process of photopion production during the propagation of UHECRs from the sources to the Earth results in the generation of charged and neutral pions. The neutral (charged) pions in turn decay to gamma quanta and electrons that initiate an electromagnetic cascade in the universal photon background. We calculate the f…
Explaining the Usage Intentions of Exergames
2014
Different kinds of digital gaming concepts that combine exercise and games, commonly referred to as exergames, have become increasingly common in recent years. These games, which can be used because of both hedonic and utilitarian reasons, have also become a subject of growing interest among academic researchers. However, the factors that explain their usage remain vaguely understood. This study aims to find out what kinds of factors explain the intentions to use exergames as part of one’s exercise. To do this, we first propose a new theoretical model for explaining the usage intentions of exergames and then empirically test this model by analyzing an online survey sample collected from 271…
Niewolnik i władca przedmiotów : człowiek wobec rzeczy w prozie realistycznej
2020
Awans „rzeczy”, jaki nastąpił w literaturze doby realizmu, miał wiele przyczyn, między innymi naukowy światopogląd epoki i zainteresowanie materialnymi uwarunkowaniami egzystencji, rozszerzenie tematyki i werystyczną opisowość, obiektywizm i rzeczowość uszczegółowionej narracji. W rozległym kompleksie prozy realistycznej można przykładowo wyróżnić cztery sposoby czy modele funkcjonowania rzeczy: (1) rzecz w znaczeniu elementu boskiego i sensownego ładu świata, zgodnie jeszcze z tradycją metafizyczno-filozoficzną (np. przypadek biedermeierowskiej twórczości Adalberta Stiftera, gdzie „rzecz” jest terminem i pojęciem kluczowym, a pedantyczne katalogowanie przedmiotów swoistą obsesją narracji);…

2021
La Corte costituzionale affronta il delicato tema dei rapporti tra giudizio abbreviato ed ergastolo, di recente riformato dalla legge n. 33 del 2019. Assecondando le istanze securitarie provenienti dalla collettività, il legislatore del 2019, con il nuovo comma 1 bis dell'art. 438 c.p.p., ha stabilito che è inibita la possibilità di accedere al rito premiale per gli imputati di reati puniti con la pena perpetua. Sollevate diverse questioni di legittimità costituzionale, la Corte le ha respinte, siglando la conformità a Costituzione della nuova disciplina. L'Autrice ripercorre il ragionamento dei giudici costituzionali, rilevando come, sulle questioni attinenti al merito della novum legislat…
