Turning Kurt Lewin on his head: Nothing is so theoretical as a good practice
2016
Abstract Kurt Lewin is acknowledged as the “father of social change theories” because his work has affected many models. Inspired by Lewin's massive contribution to science, this special issue of Journal of Business Research (JBR) collects papers regarding “Turning Kurt Lewin on his head: Nothing is so theoretical as a good practice.” These papers are presented in the 6th Conference of the Global Innovation and Knowledge Academy (GIKA 2016), in Valencia, Spain, from March 20 to March 23. After double blind reviews, only 75 papers are recommended to this special issue.
Façade Solar Control and Shading Strategies for Buildings in the Mediterranean Region
2020
With the pressing need for holistic solutions that can help in overcoming the imminent environmental and resources crises, a call for the conservation of natural resources and sustainable strategies is needed. Sustainable strategies allow for the mitigation against the impact of climate change on the environment while, simultaneously, seeking the health and comfort of users. Another environmental issue that is worthy of the attention of the scientific research community is the reduction of resources consumption, through the implementation of sustainable development concepts and the use of renewable sources of energy generation. These two aforementioned paradigms are both intrinsic in nature…
Good practices and actions for sustainable municipal solid waste management in the tourist sector
2018
This paper deals with waste management in the tourism sector, specifically in the agro-tourism structures. Two regions of Romania and Italy have been considered as case studies in order to promote good practices and actions for sustainable municipal solid waste management. Specific criteria to adopt for the sustainable consumption of beverages and food and for the sustainable use of packaging of various types have been analyzed and suggested. The adoption of an indicator at the level of the single tourist structure has been proposed to help self-analysis that is aimed at setting the priorities of intervention for improving its environmental sustainability.
Are replicate evaluations of triangle tests during a session good practice?
1997
Results from four experiments in which replicated triangle tests were performed are reported. Two experiments were carried out with non experienced assessors and the two other ones with experienced assessors. Results from the non experienced assessors showed a slight performance increase from the beginning to the end of the session whereas results from the experienced assessors did not. This is explained by an attentional process allowing non experienced assessors to gradually focus their attention on the difference between the two tested products. In some specific occasions, replicate triangle tests might be a good methodological practice when the purpose of the test is to study the effect…
Omic techniques in systems biology approaches to traditional Chinese medicine research: present and future.
2012
AbstractOmic techniques have become key tools in the development of systems biology. As the holistic approaches underlying the practice of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and new tendencies in Western medicine towards personalised medicine require in-depth knowledge of mechanisms of action and active compounds, the use of omic techniques is crucial for understanding and interpretation of TCM development, especially in view of its expansion in Western countries. In this short review, omic applications in TCM research are reviewed which has allowed some speculation regarding future perspectives for these approaches in TCM modernisation and standardisation. Guidelines for good practice for …
Buone pratiche di gestione forestale sostenibile. le azioni dimostrative condotte nell’area pilota in Sicilia
2014
Nell’ambito del progetto Proforbiomed, nel corso dell’implementazione dell’Azione Pilota 4 “Applicazione sul campo di buone pratiche di gestione forestale sostenibile” del Work Package 5 “Energie rinnovabili come opportunità per le economie locali e regionali”, a partire dalla selezione di Buone Pratiche, sono stati praticati interventi forestali dimostrativi su specifiche aree che sono state identificate all'interno delle Aree Pilota selezionate da ciascuno dei partner coinvolti in questa Azione Pilota. Finalità generale di questa Azione Pilota è stata quella di supportare la disseminazione di specifiche informazioni tecniche e dei risultati che derivano dalle differenti attività previste …
Promuovere l’inclusione attraverso il Programma Motorio Abilità Diverse
2023
Gli studi svolti nell’ambito delle neuroscienze, delle scienze motorie e le conseguenti applicazioni didattiche, hanno posto in evidenza la necessità di avviare processi di progettazione e organizzazione dei contenuti, delle modalità organizzative e delle metodologie in educazione fisica e nell’avviamento allo sport, per integrare e modulare fattori inerenti la quantità inclusiva e promuovere pratiche adattive e preventive per raggiungere sempre più persone con diverse esigenze. Le politiche nazionali e sovranazionali, attraverso il PNRR, sottolineano come l’educazione motoria rivesta un ruolo privilegiato per contrastare i fenomeni dell’esclusione e della marginalizzazione, nel periodo com…
Sensibilización de los futuros egresados y egresadas de Magisterio hacia la diversidad desde la Educación Física por medio de la propuesta de buena p…
2020
El presente estudio describe y analiza la valoración del alumnado universitario ante la propuesta “More than able”. Esta es una propuesta de buenas prácticas sobre la sensibilización hacia la diversidad funcional desde el área de Educación Física, y específicamente, mediante tareas relacionadas con las habilidades motrices básicas. El objetivo de este trabajo fue diseñar, aplicar y valorar una buena práctica que ofrezca una propuesta de sensibilización al alumnado basada en el uso de personajes de cómics como son los superhéroes y las superheroínas. Para valorar el grado de satisfacción de la propuesta, se empleó el cuestionario sobre la experiencia de buenas prácticas y el análisis de cont…
The SCIA Questionnaire: standards for communities for children and adolescents – a tool for the evaluation of good practices
2019
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present the Italian validation of the standards for communities for children and adolescents (SCIA) Questionnaire, an evaluation tool of communities quality standards, based on the “Service Standards for Therapeutic Communities for Children and Young People – 2nd edition” of the Community of Communities (2009), that enables an empirical, multidimensional and complex evaluation of the therapeutic community (TC) “system”. It is a self-report that sets out and measures variables that allow to get an overview of organisational models and the possible development areas to improve the effectiveness of the protection of child and adolescents in community tr…
Migrazioni forzate e diritti disattesi. Lo sguardo di genere sui bisogni di frontiera
2021
La definizione di “tratta di esseri umani”, adottata dal Protocollo delle Nazioni Unite, descrive gli elementi che identificano un fenomeno rilevato su scala mondiale che occupa i primissimi posti delle classifiche relative ai crimini internazionali per la diffusione e la numerosità di casi. Esso prevede l’induzione forzata a varie forme di sfruttamento e, fra queste, un posto di rilievo occupa quello relativo allo sfruttamento a scopo prostitutivo. Malgrado accordi europei e leggi nazionali convergano sul piano giuridico, allo stato attuale, la condizione di “vittima di tratta” fatica ad essere riconosciuta come tale da un sistema di protezione e accoglienza che in Europa evidenzia procedu…
