Pathways and Flexible Learning Opportunities - Implications for Lifelong Career Management Skills and Comprehensive Guidance Systems

2012

Introduction: Over the last decade lifelong guidance has been given increasing attention at both European and national levels. It is recognised as a crucial dimension of lifelong learning, promoting both social and economic goals: in particular, improving the effi ciency and effectiveness of education, training and the labour market through its contribution to reducing drop-out, preventing skill mismatches and boosting productivity. Two EU Resolutions of the Education Council (20041; 20082) have highlighted the need for strong guidance services throughout the lifespan to equip citizens with the skills needed to manage their learning and careers, and the transitions between and within educat…

Developments in the Use of ICT in Lifelong Guidance : Implications for Guidance Services and Related Practices

Il lifelong learning come vocazione ontologica “nell’Essere Più”

2022

Nel passato il paradigma fordista ha affidato alla politica e alla società di produrre capitale umano e sociale poiché in grado di consumare la produttività e l’efficienza del mercato (Margiotta, 2015). Oggi invece la produzione fa leva sulle ambizioni e capacità di tanti individui che si danno da fare. Saper gestire la propria formazione continua è una competenza che ogni insegnante deve sviluppare perché essa subordina l’acquisizione e lo sviluppo di tutte le altre. Emerge dunque la necessità di una policy educativa e formativa in grado di promuovere opportunità realizzativa, la riscoperta dell’intelligenza personale e comunitaria come motore generativo di estrazione di valore. Il dir…

Validación de un modelo explicativo del envejecimiento exitoso en muestra española

2015

La presente investigación presenta un modelo explicativo de envejecimiento exitoso que comprenda las concepciones del buen envejecer de la población española. Se parte de la premisa de que la formación continuada a lo largo de la vida del individuo (lifelong learning) puede ser un factor de gran importancia para el mantenimiento de la actividad mental y la realización personal, fomentándose así las conductas de salud y la calidad de vida en las personas mayores. Para ello, en primer término, se realiza una búsqueda sistemática de la bibliografía científica en los últimos 12 años sobre el envejecimiento harmónico relacionado con los principales modelos de envejecimiento y las variables consi…

Healthy Aging and Dietary Patterns

2021

A number of factors contribute to the complex process of aging, which finally define whether someone will or not develop age-associated chronic diseases in late life. These determinants comprise genetic susceptibility as well as various behavioral, environmental, and dietary factors, all of which have been shown to influence specific pathways regulating the aging process and the extension of life, which makes longevity a multidimensional phenomenon. Although a “miraculous elixir” or a “nutrition pill” are not plausible, researchers agree on the notion that nutritional factors have major impact on the risk of age-associated chronic non-communicable diseases and mortality. In recent years nut…

Impact of Mediterranean Diet on Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases and Longevity

2021

The average life expectancy of the world population has increased remarkably in the past 150 years and it is still increasing. A long life is a dream of humans since the beginning of time but also a dream is to live it in good physical and mental condition. Nutrition research has focused on recent decades more on food combination patterns than on individual foods/nutrients due to the possible synergistic/antagonistic effects of the components in a dietary model. Various dietary patterns have been associated with health benefits, but the largest body of evidence in the literature is attributable to the traditional dietary habits and lifestyle followed by populations from the Mediterranean re…

Temperature effects explain continental scale distribution of cyanobacterial toxins

2018

Insight into how environmental change determines the production and distribution of cyanobacterial toxins is necessary for risk assessment. Management guidelines currently focus on hepatotoxins (microcystins). Increasing attention is given to other classes, such as neurotoxins (e.g., anatoxin-a) and cytotoxins (e.g., cylindrospermopsin) due to their potency. Most studies examine the relationship between individual toxin variants and environmental factors, such as nutrients, temperature and light. In summer 2015, we collected samples across Europe to investigate the effect of nutrient and temperature gradients on the variability of toxin production at a continental scale. Direct and indirect…

LBNO-DEMO (WA105): a large demonstrator of the Liquid Argon double phase TPC

2016

LBNO-DEMO (WA105) is a large demonstrator of the double phase liquid argon TPC intended to develop and test the main elements of the GLACIER-based design for the purpose of scaling it up to the 10–50 kton size needed for Long Baseline Neutrino Oscillation studies. The crucial components of the design are: ultra-high argon purity in non-evacuable tank, long drifts, very high drift voltages, large area Micro Pattern Gas Detectors, and cold preamplifiers. The active volume of the demonstrator is 6×6×6 m3 (approximately 300t). WA105 is under construction at CERN and will be exposed to charged particle beams (0.5-20 GeV/c) in the North Area in 2018. The data will provide the necessary calibratio…

Intersections of Mobility and Belonging : Blogging Subjectivities of Finns on the Move

2019

Abstract As components of the contemporary experience, mobility and displacement (Appadurai 1990; Said 2002) are accompanied by our need to belong: while global mobility is encouraged by and expected from the educated ex-pats and temporary workers, the “flows” of migrants cause “debates, challenges, and crises” in the European nation-states (Skey 2014). Yet, in the novel interest in digital mobilities, the analysis of personal experiences has been left aside. In this article, the focus is on affective accounts of mobility and belonging. The autobiographical narratives published in the blogosphere are analyzed to shed light on the processes of multi-sited place attachments. The analysis of i…
