SARS-COV-2 PANDEMIC IN THE MEDITERRANEAN AREA: EPIDEMIOLOGY AND PERSPECTIVES
2020
In December 2019, a disease caused by a novel Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the pandemic due to SARS-CoV-2. At the end of May 2020, SARS-CoV-2 confirmed cases and deaths due to novel Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) were about 6.5 million and 380,000, worldwide. In this commentary the authors argue on the impact of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in different epidemiological settings within the Mediterranean area, discussing any possible association with higher or lower virus spread according to climatic factors, pollutants, characteristics of general population, and organi…
THINKING ABOUT OPHTHALMOLOGY IN THE ERA OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
2020
There is no part of the health care system that has remained unscathed by the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of its organizational, scientific or medical models. The surgical specialities were called upon to analyse the concepts of urgency and deferrable, reconsider the procedures and the times for those, and to evaluate new and specific strategies for the remote and safe management of patients. The aim of this paper is to evaluate new and different approaches in the field of ophthalmology triggered by the COVID-19 emergency. We analysed literature and on line documents; key words for the research were: SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19, ophthalmology, ophthalmologist, eye, guidelines, and their combination…
Yleisen saunan merkitys nyky-yhteiskunnassa : 2010 -luvun Helsingin uusien yleisten saunojen toimintakonseptien perusteella
2015
Tässä pro gradu -tutkielmassa on tarkoitus selvittää Suomen yleisen saunan uudenlaisia merkityksiä ja mahdollisuuksia nyky-yhteiskunnassa tarkastelemalla 2010-luvulla rakennetun kahden omaperäisen yleisen sauna -projektin ideaa. Suomessa asuvana japanilaisena olen kiinnostunut siitä, että Suomen yleisen sauna-kulttuurin historia ja nykytilanne vaikuttavat samanlaiselta kuin Japanin sento-kylpylä-kulttuuri, jonka säilyttämisen toimintaan olen osallistunut Tokiossa. Kummatkin on rakennettu useimmiten isoihin kaupunkeihin hyödyttämään heitä, joiden ei ole mahdollista kylpeä kotona. 1960-luvun jälkeen kuitenkin yleisten saunojen ja sentojen määrät ovat nopeasti laskeneet, sillä ihmisten elintas…
Implementing kiva antibullying program in pioner schools in Spain
2022
This study analyzes the implementation of the KiVa Antibullyiing program in Spain with 10 pioneer schools. This research has two aims. The first is a preliminary evaluation of the KiVa program’s implementation in the pioneer schools in Spain. To do so, the perceived levels of bullying and victimization have been analyzed through the surveys done anonymously by the students of 10 KiVa schools before and after the program’s implementation. The second is to identify the factors which explain the phenomenon with a view to knowing the background of the victims and the bullies and proposing courses of action. To do so, the school environment (atmosphere in the classroom and in the school), the pe…
I minori stranieri non accompagnati nei Centri di Istruzione per gli Adulti in Sicilia
2018
Per i Minori Stranieri Non Accompagnati (d'ora in avanti MSNA), l’apprendimento della lingua italiana diventa lo snodo attraverso cui accedere a tutela, diritti, partecipazione. I bisogni formativi dei MSNA sono stati oggetto di una ricerca che si è proposta di definirne i profili socio-linguistici, attraverso una ricognizione delle competenze linguistiche, delle condizioni familiari e sociali di partenza e delle condizioni di accoglienza in Italia, a partire dai quali tracciare percorsi possibili per massimizzare l’offerta formativa ad essi rivolta. Una particolare attenzione è stata data ai LESLLA (Low Educated Second Language and Literacy Acquisition), individui a bassa o bassissima scol…
Reading Comprehension in Both Spanish and English as a Foreign Language by High School Spanish Students
2022
Several studies have highlighted that reading comprehension is determined by different linguistic skills: semantics, syntax, and morphology, in addition to one’s own competence in reading fluency (accuracy, speed, and prosody). On the other hand, according to the Linguistic Interdependence Hypothesis, linguistic skills developed in one’s own native language (L1) facilitate the development of these skills in a second one (L2). In this study, we wanted to explore the linguistic abilities that determine reading comprehension in Spanish (L1) and in English (L2) in Secondary Education students. To do this, 73 Secondary Education Students (1st and 3rd year) participated in this study. The student…
Maahanmuuttajamiesten tekemän seksuaalisen väkivallan konstruoiminen sosiaaliseksi ongelmaksi vuoden 2015 internetkeskusteluissa
2017
Tässä pro gradu -tutkielmassa selvitetään, miten maahanmuuttajamiehistä puhutaan seksuaalisen väkivallan tekijöinä internetkeskusteluissa vuonna 2015. Tarkastelun kohteena ovat selonteot, joilla tekoja selitetään, ongelmapuhe ja uhkakuvat, joita keskusteluissa nousee sekä ratkaisuehdotukset, joita tähän sosiaaliseen ongelmaan esitetään. Tutkimuksessamme tarkastelun kohteena ovat myös vasta-argumentit, joilla maahanmuuttajien tekemää seksuaalista väkivaltaa ja siitä tuotettua ongelmaa kiistetään. Tutkimuksen aineisto muodostuu Helsingin Sanomien ja Turun Sanomien digilehtien artikkeleihin kirjoitetuista lukijakommenteista sekä Suomi24-foorumin sekä Kaksplus-lehden internetfoorumin keskustelu…
The role of Christianity in the European Union’s heritage and history initiatives
2022
In its political discourse, the European Union balances Christian heritage, the secularization of European societies, liberal values and Europe’s culturally and religiously diverse contemporary reality. This article explores how the European Union narrates the story of Europe and the role of Christianity in this narrative. This exploration is based on two qualitative case studies focusing on key heritage and history initiatives of the European Commission and the European Parliament: the European Heritage Label and the House of European History. The article argues that issues related to Christianity become easier to handle for the European Union when they are dealt with as memory, tradition…
Economic Double Censorship
2020
This chapter explores the censorship impact generated by economic logic on the selection and coverage of topics in factual formats and current affairs documentaries on French television. This prelimina- ry research studies more specifically the subcontracting relationships between TV channels and production companies from semi- structured interviews with various categories of professionals (managers of TV press agencies, journalists, directors, Commissioning Editor). The analysis distinguishes two types of censorship ef- fects. The competitive relationships and the business models of the broadcasters condition their positions in the media field and thus exercise a structural censorship on t…
