European core curriculum in neurorehabilitation.
2017
Item does not contain fulltext To date, medical education lacks Europe-wide standards on neurorehabilitation. To address this, the European Federation of NeuroRehabilitation Societies (EFNR) here proposes a postgraduate neurorehabilitation training scheme. In particular, the European medical core curriculum in neurorehabilitation should include a two-year residency in a neurorehabilitation setting where trainees can gain practical experience. Furthermore, it should comprise six modules of classroom training organized as weekend seminars or summer/winter schools. In conclusion, after defining the European medical core curriculum in neurorehabilitation, the next activities of the EFNR will be…
La suspensión de la libre circulación de inversiones extranjeras en España por la crisis del COVID-19 (The Suspension of the Free Movement of Foreign…
2020
Spanish Abstract: La libre circulacion de inversiones es uno de los mantras que ha caracterizado la modernidad economica. El principio, sin embargo, se encuentra sometido a creciente prevencion, en el marco de una vision critica hacia la globalizacion en un mundo en pleno reajuste geoestrategico. Una de las manifestaciones de esta tendencia reciente de empoderamiento del Estado se refleja en la articulacion de mecanismos de control de las inversiones foraneas que le permitan evitar que sectores claves de la economia nacional caigan en manos de inversores extranjeros, en muchas ocasiones, controlados por Estados competidores. A diferencia de lo que ocurre con los paises de nuestro entorno, E…
COVID-19 y libre circulación de inversiones: un (muy) difícil matrimonio (COVID-19 and Free Movement of Investment: A (Very) Difficult Marriage)
2020
Spanish Abstract: Las inversiones extranjeras estan siendo objeto de una aproximacion mas cautelosa y critica en los ultimos anos en gran numero de paises. Una posicion que se refleja en su regimen juridico y se manifiesta, entre otros extremos, en el diseno de mecanismos de control previo con base en su eventual contrariedad con la seguridad nacional del pais receptor. La pandemia del COVID-19 no ha hecho sino acentuar esta tendencia. La posicion mantenida por la UE al respecto, y la suspension de la libre circulacion de inversiones decidida por el Gobierno espanol son manifestaciones de ello que, todo apunta, han venido para perdurar.

DYSGRAPHY AS DYSHARMONY OF BODY MOVEMENT. NEW SCENARIOS BETWEEN TRADITION AND TECHNOLOGY
2020
Diversi studi dimostrano come grazie al movimento si instaurino rapporti con l’ambiente e come questa relazione sia determinante nel processo di apprendimento di ogni individuo. Il corpo è il primo mezzo con cui l’individuo sperimenta l’ambiente, è il primo canale di comunicazione fra lui e gli altri e continuerà ad essere l’intermediario privilegiato nella relazione con gli altri, tra il mondo interno e quello esterno a sé (Federici, Valentini, Tonini Cardinali, 2008, p.85). Il presente articolo nasce dall’esigenza di descrivere una proposta di intervento che prevede l’integrazione del metodo Terzi con gli exergames, con lo scopo di potenziare le abilità visuo-spaziali e favorire il miglio…
Electrical activity patterns and the functional maturation of the neocortex
2011
At the earliest developmental stages, sensory neocortical areas in various species reveal distinct patterns of spontaneous neuronal network activity. These activity patterns either propagate over large neocortical areas or synchronize local neuronal ensembles. In vitro and in vivo experiments indicate that these spontaneous activity patterns are generated from neuronal networks in the cerebral cortex, in subcortical structures or in the sensory periphery (retina, cochlea, whiskers). At early stages spontaneous periphery-driven and also sensory evoked activity is relayed to the developing cerebral cortex via the thalamus and the neocortical subplate, which amplifies the afferent sensory inpu…
Effects of Trimipramine on Sleep EEG, Penile Tumescence and Nocturnal Hormonal Secretion
1989
Sleep EEG, nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) and nocturnal endocrine activity were studied in 3 male control subjects during placebo, under trimipramine (TR) and after withdrawal. TR did not change the sleep structure. NPT activity tended to increase under TR. Nocturnal plasma cortisol levels decreased markedly while the early morning rise of cortisol appeared delayed under 200 mg TR. After withdrawal the changes of the cortisol secretion rebounded. Nocturnal secretion of GH, testosterone, LH and FSH remained unaffected, but plasma prolactin levels increased under TR and returned to normalcy after cessation. Our data illustrate that the neurobiological effects of TR are different from those…
Effect of a 3-week body mass reduction program on body composition, muscle function and motor performance in pubertal obese boys and girls
2005
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a multidisciplinary body mass reduction (BMR) program on body composition, muscle function and motor performance in 50 obese [mean body mass index (BMI): 35.9+/-5.8 kg/m2] boys and girls aged 12-17 yr (Tanner stage III, IV and V). The hospital-based BMR program combined an energy-restricted diet (1400-1600 kcal), nutritional education, psychological counselling and moderate physical activity (45-60 min/ session; 5 sessions/week; 60-80% of the maximal heart rate) during a 3-week period. Fat mass, fat-free mass, maximal power during jumping and stair climbing as well as maximal strength of the upper and lower limb muscles were quantified…
Transition from self tilt to object tilt during maintained lateral tilt in parabolic flight.
1991
Abstract 19 young healthy subjects were subjected to parabolic rollercoaster flight. A horizontal luminous line was seen by the subjects in a headfixed goggle device. During the hypergravic phases of parabolic flight the luminous line seemed to rotate into and during the hypogravic phase against the direction of static head tilt. Ocular counter rotation and activity of the neck position receptors cannot explain these subjective rotations. We conclude that information from the otolith system, converging with visual information within the brain, dislocated the headfixed visual target line. While the retinal image of the luminous line remains unchanged, loading and unloading the otoliths in pa…
La deistituzionalizzazione nel Mezzogiorno. Lotte antistituzionali e rinnovamento psichiatrico a Palermo e Reggio Calabria tra anni sessanta e settan…
2021
The article explores the history of the process of deinstitutionalization in Palermo and Reggio Calabria, in the context of the critical psychiatric movements in Italy (1960-1978). It is consolidated the idea of a Southern Italy unconnected with the “psychiatric question” and anti-institutional practices, in Italy due mainly to Franco Basaglia and his team. The essay focuses on this issue in the South of Italy where, as well as in the other experiences, the actions were both political and scientific. The analysis considers also the connections of Palermo and Reggio Calabria movements, in particular with Democratic Psychiatry, and looks at the role played by social movements and political fo…
Comparison of motor competence in children aged 6-9 years across northern, central, and southern European regions.
2019
The present study aimed at examining differences in motor competence (MC) in children aged 6 to 9 years old in northern, central, and southern European regions using the Körperkoordinationstest für Kinder (KTK). The secondary aim of the study was to examine interactions between region and children's age, sex and weight status (determined as healthy weight or overweight/obese). Data was pooled from independent studies conducted in Finland (mean age 7.81 ± 1.19 years, n = 690), Belgium (mean age 8.25 ± 1.09 years, n = 1,896) and Portugal (mean age 8.31 ± 1.02 years, n = 758) between 2008 and 2016. Cross-cultural differences in MC and interaction effects were tested using ANOVAs and ANCOVAs. A…
