La responsabilitat social universitària i la construcció d’una societat per a totes les edats
2019
espanolEl presente ensayo ofrece una reflexion sobre el rol que puede ejercer la responsabilidad social universitaria en la construccion de una sociedad para todas las edades, concepto propuesto por Naciones Unidas (1995a; 2003) e inspirado en los principios de respeto, proteccion, solidaridad intergeneracional e inclusion de las personas mayores. Durante anos las personas mayores representaron un grupo minoritario excluido y socialmente estigmatizado. En virtud de los avances cientificos y tecnologicos que han prolongado la vida, el progresivo aumento del numero de aquellas, a nivel mundial, ha suscitado la creacion de politicas en favor del respeto e igualdad social, que frenen la reprodu…
LAW AND SOCIAL CHANGE: RIGHT TO A NAME, PERSONAL IDENTITY AND PRIVATE LIFE IN CONTEXT
2014
The name is the key to identify a single individual and to link a person to her family, as well as the primary interface in the relationship between a person and the community he or she lives in. This study claims that private life and private autonomy are becoming interpretative arguments and vehicles to ensure that law would be able to follow – and sometimes to chase – social changes in personal and family life, in finding new rules to regulate the relationship between the individual, the family and public authorities or between a private individual and the community she interfaces with.1 Judicial interpretative activity often reveals legislative shortcomings. In particular, the judiciary…
Several names, several identities? The orthography of Finnish country people’s names from the 18th to 20th centuries
2013
In this article, I shall examine how the personal names of the Finnish-speaking population of rural Finland, who themselves were generally unable to write, were written in Swedish equivalents in various documents in the 18th and 19th centuries, and how this influenced the formation of their identities. The advent of laws governing language towards the end of the 19th and in the early 20th century was manifested in official documents in which the authorities gradually started to write personal names in Finnish. The population of the countryside began to acquire the ability to write finally when compulsory universal education came into force in 1921. Before that, the majority of the rural pop…

“At the Western Palace”: The Dehumanization of Whiteness, Americanness, and Chinese-Americanness in Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior
2021
The dehumanization of whiteness in Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior (1976) inheres in the overarching ghosthood metaphor. While first generation Chinese American immigrants in The Woman Warrior attribute the power of transforming people into ghosts to the United States of America as a country, the questioning of a person’s humanity by calling them a “ghost” is not reserved for white people alone. Chinese American immigrants also run the risk of losing their humanity and becoming ghosts if they renounce their relatives and their heritage. The husband of the first-person narrator’s Chinese aunt, Moon Orchid, is an example of a Chinese American man, who turns into a ghost on account of…
Opportunity- and Necessity-Driven Self-Employment Among Older People in Finland
2017
To date, few empirical studies have attempted to highlight the impact of the socio-economic characteristics of older entrepreneurs according to whether they are driven by necessity or opportunity. Tervo and Haapanen contribute to the economics of ageing by showing that opportunity- and necessity-driven senior entrepreneurs differ in terms of socio-economic characteristics. This chapter utilizes a longitudinal data set from Finland. Individuals aged between 55 and 70 entering self-employment are grouped in terms of pull and push motivations. Profiles of entrepreneurs are developed using personal, family, and environmental characteristics. The results show that opportunity-driven older self-e…
Storie di guerra. Sfollati, rimpatriati, profughi a Palermo (1940-1943)
2018
In the realm of wartime history, a little real analysis has been done on the implications of total war in Sicily. Indeed, World War II transformed the relationship between fascist regime and society. Moreover, there are few studies on reorganization of the connections between local institutions and fascist government. Civilians have been most involved in this process. In this article, I will mainly adopt the perspective of civilians to reconstruct how war led to these transformations. I will focus on the city of Palermo, were war front and home front blurred together in 1943. Especially, I would like to highlight the stories of returned from fascist colonies in Africa, as well as the issue …
Variants in ZFHX3 are associated with atrial fibrillation in individuals of European ancestry
2009
We conducted meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for atrial fibrillation (AF) in participants from five community-based cohorts. Meta-analyses of 896 prevalent (15,768 referents) and 2,517 incident (21,337 referents) AF cases identified a novel locus for AF (ZFHX3, rs2106261, risk ratio [RR]=1.19; P=2.3×10−7), an association that was replicated in the German AF Network (odds ratio=1.44; P=1.6×10−11). Combining the discovery and replication results, rs2106261 was significantly associated with AF (RR=1.25; P=1.8×10−15).
Faire face ou faire avec. Situations de vulnérabilité et situations de handicap
2020
Nous sommes tous victime lorsqu’un aléa survient au cours d’un déplacement (grève, panne, situation climatique exceptionnelle, etc.), par définition imprévisible. Mais il peut rendre vulnérables les personnes en situation de handicap cognitif et/ou mental plus particulièrement. La distinction sémantique entre situation de handicap et situation de vulnérabilité doit ici garder tout son sens. Et la tendance à employer indifféremment l’une et l’autre notion en sciences humaines et sociales, mérite d’être dénoncée. Différencier l’une et l’autre notion, c’est admettre et reconnaître les tactiques résilientes que les personnes en situation de handicap mettent en œuvre quotidiennement pour compens…
Komunikownie się z osobami z niepełnosprawnością w kontekście relacji opiekun- wychowawca - podopieczny - wychowanej. Wybrane utrudnienia i uwarunkow…
2016
Komunikacja interpersonalna (międzyludzka) oznacza porozumiewanie się ludzi między sobą, polegające na przekazywaniu sobie nawzajem myśli, opinii, sądów, informacji o przeżyciach. Komunikowanie się zawsze przebiega między dwiema osobami (nadawcą i odbiorcą), które w określony sposób reagują na wzajemne komunikaty. Jest to proces złożony i uwarunkowany wieloma czynnikami, wśród których szczególnie ważne są kompetencje komunikacyjne jego uczestników (umiejętność wyrażania myśli, precyzyjnego formułowania, rozumienia komunikatów itp ). W artykule autorka omawia istotę oraz uwarunkowania skutecznej komunikacji między osobami z niepełnosprawnością sensoryczną oraz intelektualną a pełnosprawnymi.…
