Statistical misconceptions, awareness, and attitudes towards open science practices in Slovak psychology researchers
2023
In the years following the reproducibility crisis in behavioral sciences, increased attention of the scientific community has been dedicated to the correct application of statistical inference and promotion of open science practices. In the present survey, we contacted psychology researchers, lecturers, and doctoral students from all universities in Slovakia and the Slovak Academy of Sciences via email. Together we re-ceived answers from 65 participants. Questions in the survey covered the most common misconceptions about statistical hypothesis testing, as well as awareness, attitudes, and barriers related to the adherence to open science practices. We found a high prevalence of statistical…
Towards a New System for the Assessment of the Quality in Care Pathways: An Overview of Systematic Reviews.
2020
Clinical or care pathways are developed by a multidisciplinary team of healthcare practitioners, based on clinical evidence, and standardized processes. The evaluation of their framework/content quality is unclear. The aim of this study was to describe which tools and domains are able to critically evaluate the quality of clinical/care pathways. An overview of systematic reviews was conducted, according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, using Medline, Embase, Science Citation Index, PsychInfo, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library, from 2015 to 2020, and with snowballing methods. The quality of the reviews was assessed with Assessment the Methodology of Systemati…
Enhanced Customer Cooperation : Experiences with cooperative compliance in Finland
2018
This report examines the experiences with a collaborative compliance project – Enhanced Customer Cooperation (ECC) – introduced by the Finnish Tax Administration. The ECC was introduced by the Large Taxpayers’ Unit of the Finnish Tax Administration at the beginning of 2013, and it ran as a pilot until the end of 2015. Since the start of 2016, the ECC has been a part of the permanent operations of the Large Taxpayers’ Unit. Based on the interviews with tax officers, corporations participating in the ECC and tax lawyers and tax consultants, the ECC is bringing about a cultural change in the administrative practices and ways of communicating between tax authorities and taxpayers. In general, t…

La vita degli oggetti: il ruolo della cosa donata in Seneca
2014
This paper highlights the very active role of objects in the practice of gift exchange, focusing on the representation of munus and donum which emerges from Seneca's De beneficiis and Medea's tragedy. Examining the function of the gift and its cultural patterns permits a critical comparison with anthropological studies concerning the theory of the spirit of the gift (hau) formulated by Marcel Mauss and the theme of inalienable gifts, elaborated by Annette Weiner. Such an analysis emphasizes the objects' propensity to stimulate the memory of the receiver and to arouse his gratitude. Moreover, the gift, imbued with the giver's identity, is suitable to replace him not only in gift-giving relat…
“Reclaiming public spaces”: Individuazione di strategie e metodi per la partecipazione della cittadinanza attiva nella produzione e gestione di spazi…
2014
A partire dall’analisi di due casi studio di (ri)appropriazione e riconversione temporanea a fini “pubblici” di aree inutilizzate, quali le appropriazioni/(ri)appropriazioni dell’ex-aeroporto di Tempelhof a Berlino e del “laghetto” in via Prenestina a Roma, l’articolo si propone di esplorare alcuni interrogativi quali: E’ possibile costituire una alternativa reale alla riduzione/sostituzione dello spazio pubblico, dovuta in gran parte ai problemi di bilancio che minacciano l’operatività delle amministrazioni locali, valorizzando le esperienze di auto-organizzazione, auto-gestione e partecipazione emerse nelle nostre città? Come interpretare/tradurre in strategie e metodi operativi la pressa…
Reflecting through the designing: a brief analysis of the teacher’s planning process
2016
The aim of this work is to study the conditions in which teachers plan and execute educational actions in the classroom and to find out which difficulties they encountered during the development of the planned teaching action. The “concrete operations” that 15 teachers in the Palermo area had accomplished, were highlighted before, during and after every structured activity to promote the pupils’ oral expression. Specifically, the research, which is collocated in the case study, had the function of verifying forty descriptors. These were grouped in the five cardinal points of the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation), with a motivated group of teachers that …
Complejidad, reflexividad y autoetnografía. Las posibilidades de la investigación narrativa en la mejora de la práctica profesional
2015
Desde hace unos años es evidente la creciente dificultad para intervenir desde los servicios sociales ante situaciones que se presentan en un contexto de multiplicidad e inestabilidad. Esta realidad, tradicionalmente concebida como una expresión de la complejidad de la sociedad, puede ser también observada desde un enfoque particular y poco conocido de los problemas sociales: el de los wicked problem, que nos acerca a otra forma de entenderlos. Sus cualidades nos llevan a reflexionar sobre la posibilidad de que coexistan ciertos límites en la capacidad de las organizaciones y profesionales para obtener resultados que mejoren significativamente las situaciones a las que se enfrentan. Al mis…
Riflettere per formare cittadini riflessivi: specificità della formazione dei formatori
2017
The article deals with the theme of reflexivity in learning processes, considering reflexivity as a thinking activity about our own actions and about ourselves in relation with our own actions. In particular, it focuses on the training of trainers and educators, analyzing the specificity and the importance of “learning by experience” not only in initial training, but also during the in-Service training and during working practices. In this sense the article also tackles the theme of “situated learning” (specifying the meaning of “context” in an ecological and systemic perspective) and the concept of “community of practices”. Consequently, the working group and its relevant function in the e…
