Una storia chiamata letteratura. Storia e antologia della letteratura italiana. Volume 3B: Dall’Ermetismo ai nostri giorni
2022
L’opera è strutturata in ampie sezioni relative alle grandi periodizzazioni letterarie. Ciascuna sezione si apre con un quadro storico-culturale che presenta l’epoca a partire da un’immagine. I capitoli sono incentrati sui grandi autori, o su correnti e generi di un dato periodo. Due rubriche in particolare riprendono gli elementi portanti dell’impianto didattico culturale dell’opera: - Mondo interiore/Mondo esteriore: che collega il brano antologizzato con un’opera e un autore o un’autrice del Novecento, con opere della letteratura europea o con testi non letterari; - Un personaggio per discutere: una riflessione per confrontarsi sul senso delle scelte effettuate dai grandi personaggi dell…

La letra... por la vista entra. A propósito de la nueva normativa sobre el uso de las mayúsculas y su aplicación en los textos de enseñanza
2015
El propósito de este artículo consiste en analizar el uso de las mayúsculas en una serie de manuales posteriores a 2010 y determinar los aspectos que plantean mayores problemas u ofrecen diferentes soluciones, con la finalidad última de divulgar los aspectos pendientes de una mejor regulación, hacer hincapié en la importancia de criterios claros en la aplicación práctica de las normas y en la responsabilidad de los profesionales del sector editorial, puesto que en la adquisición y aprendizaje de la ortografía es fundamental la memoria visual. El análisis muestra que las mayores dificultades se hallan en la función identificativa de las mayúsculas y se centran en los aspectos más novedosos y…
Towards a historiographical study of translation. A proposal for a historiography reader and its applications
2013
Tras el auge experimentado en los últimos años por las antologías que recogen el discurso de la traducción a lo largo del tiempo, parece llegado el momento de reflexionar sobre el tipo de investigación histórica que se está haciendo en nuestros días. En esta línea, defendemos en este artículo la necesidad de elaborar un manual de lecturas guiadas de historiografía de la traducción que proporcione algunas claves para entender la pluralidad y el dinamismo de nuestra disciplina. Dentro de la tradición del reader, la obra cumpliría una función eminentemente pedagógica e incluiría una muestra representativa y bien contextualizada de la investigación producida en el campo histórico de la traducci…
Clausal coordination in Finnish Sign Language
2016
This paper deals with the coordination of clauses in Finnish Sign Language (FinSL). Building on conversational data, the paper first shows that linking in conjunctive coordination in FinSL is primarily asyndetic, whereas in adversative and disjunctive coordination FinSL prefers syndetic linking. Secondly, the paper investigates the nonmanual prosody of coordination: nonmanual activity is shown both to mark the juncture of the coordinand clauses and to draw their contours. Finally, the paper addresses certain forms of clausal coordination in FinSL that are sign language-specific. It is suggested that the sign language-specific properties of coordination are caused both by the fact that signe…
Prevalence and severity of eating disorders: A comparison of DSM-IV and DSM-5 among German adolescents.
2016
Objective Changes in the DSM-5 eating disorders criteria sought to increase the clarity of the diagnostic categories and to decrease the preponderance of nonspecified eating disorders. The first objective of this study was to analyze how these revisions affect threshold and EDNOS/OSFED eating disorder diagnoses in terms of prevalence, sex ratios, and diagnostic distribution in a student sample. Second, we aimed to compare the impairment levels of participants with a threshold, an EDNOS/OSFED and no diagnosis using both DSM-IV and DSM-5. Method A sample of 1654 7th and 8th grade students completed self-report questionnaires to determine diagnoses and impairment levels in the context of an ea…
Group Music Therapy as a Preventive Intervention for Young People at Risk : Cluster-Randomized Trial
2017
Background Music forms an important part of the lives and identities of adolescents and may have positive or negative mental health implications. Music therapy can be effective for mental disorders such as depression, but its preventive potential is unknown. Objective The aim of this study was to examine whether group music therapy (GMT) is an effective intervention for young people who may be at risk of developing mental health problems, as indicated via unhealthy music use. The main question was whether GMT can reduce unhealthy uses of music and increase potentials for healthy uses of music, compared to self-directed music listening (SDML). We were also interested in effects of GMT on dep…
Recovery from sauna bathing favorably modulates cardiac autonomic nervous system
2019
Objective: Sauna bathing is becoming a common activity in many countries and it has been linked to favorable health outcomes. However, there is limited data on the heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) responses to an acute sauna exposure. Design: We conducted a single-group, longitudinal study utilizing a pre-post design to examine acute effects of sauna bathing on the autonomic nervous system as reflected by HRV. A total of 93 participants (mean [SD] age: 52.0 [8.8] years, 53.8% males) with cardiovascular risk factors were exposed to a single sauna session (duration: 30 min; temperature: 73 °C; humidity: 10–20%) and data on HRV variables were collected before, during and after …
Effects of osteopathic manipulative treatment of the pivots on lower limb function in young professional football players
2022
Introduction: The most frequent injuries in professional soccer players are those pertinent to the lower limbs. In particular, strains of the hamstrings and ligamentous injuries of the knee. Therefore, preventive measures are aimed to reduce such events. We aimed to investigate if an osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) of the pivots could improve lower limb function in young professional football players. Methods: Thirty-eight young male professional football players were recruited (mean age 17.8 +/- 0.44 years). These were randomly assigned to an OMT or control group (n 1/4 20 and 18, respectively). Both groups underwent osteopathic evaluation. A sit-and-reach test, a vertical jump te…
Self-Regulation Therapy to Reproduce Drug Effects:A Suggestion Technique to Change Personality and theDRD3Gene Expression
2013
This study proposes a strategy, based on self-regulation therapy, to change personality and its biological substrate, the DRD3 gene expression. It has been demonstrated that acute doses of stimulating drugs, like methylphenidate, are able to change personality and the expression of certain genes in the short term. On the other hand, self-regulation therapy has been proven to reproduce the effects of drugs. Thus, it is feasible to hope that self-regulation therapy is equally effective as methylphenidate in changing personality and the gene expression. This is a preliminary study with a single-case experimental design with replication in which 2 subjects participated. The results and potentia…
