Semantic and action tool knowledge in the brain: Identifying common and distinct networks.
2021
Most cognitive models of apraxia assume that impaired tool use results from a deficit occurring at the conceptual level, which contains dedicated information about tool use, namely, semantic and action tool knowledge. Semantic tool knowledge contains information about the prototypical use of familiar tools, such as function (e.g., a hammer and a mallet share the same purpose) and associative relations (e.g., a hammer goes with a nail). Action tool knowledge contains information about how to manipulate tools, such as hand posture and kinematics. The present review aimed to better understand the neural correlates of action and semantic tool knowledge, by focusing on activation, stimulation an…

Abstract Pantomime has a long tradition in clinical neuropsychology of apraxia. It has been much more used by researchers and clinicians to assess tool-use disorders than real tool use. Nevertheless, it remains incompletely understood and has given rise to controversies, such as the involvement of the left inferior parietal lobe or the nature of the underlying cognitive processes. The present article offers a comprehensive framework, with the aim of specifying the neural and cognitive bases of pantomime. To do so, we conducted a series of meta-analyses of brain-lesion, neuroimaging, and behavioral studies about pantomime and other related tasks (i.e., real tool use, imitation of meaningless…
I respingimenti in mare di migranti alla luce della Convenzione europea dei diritti umani
2009
Forcible return of migrants and the European Convention on human rights - Italian authorities have recently undertaken a new policy to face migration flows from north african coasts. Since May, 6th 2009 Italian coastguard and financial police vessels have intercepted a large number of boats carrying migrants and returned them to Libya, in force of a readmission agreement between Italy and Libya. These operations, even if they take place on the high seas, have to comply with the European Convention for Human Rights, considering that the migrants fall under jurisdiction of Italian authorities within the meaning of art. 1 of the Convention. In particular, on the basis of the European Court of …
CORRELATION AMONG DYSLEXIA, DYSPRAXIA AND DYSCALCULIA IN STUDENTS WITH LEARNING DYSABILITIES
2016
The article is devoted to evaluate the correlation among dyslexia, dyspraxia and dyscalculia in students with learning dysabilities. There is a point of view that students with learning dysabilities mostly have dyspraxia, but not all of them have dyscalculia or dyslexia. There is a necessity to have theoretical findings and state criteria for evaluation to carry out empirical research. Students with learning dysabilities have difficulties in many areas, but it is not possible to assure that all of them meet the same problems.
Una lectura teológica del sermón de José María Cos
2015
<p>El presente trabajo hace una lectura teológica de un sermón insurgente de José María Cos y puede ser considerado un capítulo en la historia de la teología en América Latina, un área todavía poco desarrollada, y es necesario hacer nuevos estudios en este campo. El artículo se inserta en la nueva historiografía que se ha interesado por la religiosidad de los curas insurgentes y resalta la motivación cristiana del padre Cos, quien se había volcado hacia la praxis política de la independencia de México motivado en primera instancia por su fe cristiana. El artículo concluye aseverando que José María Cos forma entonces parte de una larga tradición de sacerdotes políticos en la historia d…
Shifting perspectives. Representations of the Maya in modern Mexican and Guatemalan narrative
2020
The aim of this article is to examine the dominant literary tendencies in the 20 th and 21 st century Mexican and Guatemalan narrative, which depict the Maya in their social and cultural environment. From indigenismo , through a hybrid genre known as testimonio , to indigenous literature, the Maya have been present over the last century in literary production, in which several important changes in narrative voice and perspective can be observed. Initially represented by the paternalistic indigenista narrative, which is compliant with the government-endorsed ideology, the Maya have gradually regained their own unmediated literary voice, which enables them to speak for themselves rather than …
Heterogeneous knowledge: Trends in German discourse analysis against an international background
2011
This contribution maps the complex field of discourse analysis in Germany by situating its major currents and putting them in historical perspective. In a first step, it presents the major intellectual sources, such as (post-)structuralism, pragmatism/interactionism as well as hermeneutics, which have served as a backdrop for the establishment of discourse analysis as an interdisciplinary field since the 1980s. In a second step, it takes a closer look at the intellectual conjunctures in the social sciences such as Critical Theory and systems theory before turning to the discourse analytical tendencies that have emerged since the 1980s in the light of Foucault's reception in Germany. Finally…
La valoración del Practicum en la formación inicial: un estudio de casos internacional en el área de Geografía e Historia
2020
El acceso a la función docente es asunto regulado por las instituciones administrativas, pero depende en gran medida de las competencias, actitudes y expectativas personales. Los estudios comparativos que mostramos revelan que las representaciones sociales que determinan un sentido práctico del saber escolar inciden en las opiniones de los actuales profesores de Secundaria y en los que aspiran a serlo. Este fenómeno subjetivo, que incide en las competencias profesionales, se interpreta cualitativamente con una metodología de casos, con la comparación de estos a partir de las encuestas y memorias del Practicum en tres universidades de Brasil, Colombia y España. El análisis sobre objetivos y …
