Les bizutages dans le monde ouvrier en France à l’époque contemporaine
2013
Dans le monde ouvrier, des pratiques informelles de bizutage se reperent, accomplies par des hommes comme par des femmes sur les jeunes jusque vers les annees 1970 environ, pour accompagner leur entree dans les usines. Elles fonctionnent a la fois comme rites de passage, manifestations brutales de domination voire de violence, et blague dont il convient de rire. Mais, parce qu’elles revetent une dimension sexuelle manifeste, elles participent de l’identification des masculinites ouvrieres a la virilite.
Activity trackers and fitness centre members : motivation and awareness
2017
Worldwide, physical activity level of the general population is below what is recommended for achieving a healthy lifestyle. At the same time the use of fitness related products, such as fitness applications for smartphones and wearable activity monitors are increasing, particularly in fitness centre settings. This trend leads to questions about what is the influence of the activity trackers on a person’s motivation to exercise, and whether these devices can contribute to improving the health of the general population. The aim of this research was to explore if wearing an activity tracker (Polar Loop) motivates fitness centre members (SATS ELIXIA) and increases their physical activity parti…
ICT in education : EFL teacher trainees' views of the affordances of ICT use in education and the need for ICT training in teacher education programm…
2014
Tieto- ja viestintäteknologia (TVT) on tärkeä osa ihmisten jokapäiväistä elämää ja toimintoja. TVT:n yleistyminen yhteiskunnan jokaisella osa-alueella alleviivaa myös uusien digitaalisten kompetenssien tärkeyttä kaikissa ikäluokissa. Aikaisemmassa tutkimuksessa on keskitytty mm. opettajien ja oppilaiden taitoihin ja tapoihin hyödyntää TVT:aa opetuksessa ja oppimisessa, mutta vastaavia kysymyksiä opettajaopiskelijoiden näkökulmasta on esitetty häviävän vähän. On tärkeää huomioida, että kuten kriittisen ajattelun taidot, myös TVT:n laaja-alainen osaaminen on pitkän aikajakson kuluessa kehittyvä taito. Jotta tulevan opettajasukupolven TVT-taitoja voitaisiin tutkia ja selvittää oleellisia taust…
Transcranial direct current stimulation for treatment of freezing of gait: a cross-over study.
2014
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Progression of Parkinson's disease (PD) is frequently characterized by the occurrence of freezing of gait (FOG) representing a disabling motor complication. We aim to investigate safety and efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation of the primary motor cortex of PD patients with FOG. METHODS: In this cross-over, double-blind, sham-controlled study, 10 PD patients with FOG persisting in "on" state underwent anodal and sham direct current stimulation for 5 consecutive days. Clinical assessment over a 1-month period was performed. RESULTS: A significant improvement of gait, as assessed by the Stand Walk Sit test, with reduction in number and duration of FOG …

Resting State EEG Directed Functional Connectivity Unveils Changes in Motor Network Organization in Subacute Stroke Patients After Rehabilitation
2022
Brain plasticity and functional reorganization are mechanisms behind functional motor recovery of patients after an ischemic stroke. The study of resting-state motor network functional connectivity by means of EEG proved to be useful in investigating changes occurring in the information flow and find correlation with motor function recovery. In the literature, most studies applying EEG to post-stroke patients investigated the undirected functional connectivity of interacting brain regions. Quite recently, works started to investigate the directionality of the connections and many approaches or features have been proposed, each of them being more suitable to describe different aspects, e.g.,…

Motywacje do nauki języka ukraińskiego studentów filologii rosyjskiej Uniwersytetu Opolskiego
2010
Motywacje do nauki języka ukraińskiego wśród studentów filologii rosyjskiej Uniwersytetu Opolskiego zostały zbadane na podstawie przeprowadzonej ankiety. Zadaniem ankietera było określenie, jakie funkcjonuje nastawienie wśród studentów i czy istnieje chęć do nauki języka ukraińskiego. Następnie określono motywacje do nauki tego języka. Badania dowiodły, że studenci wykazują zainteresowanie nauką języka ukraińskiego, jak również wskazują na konkretne motywacje do nauki oraz są skłonni je wprowadzić do procesu przyswajania wiedzy. Wśród motywacji wskazują m.in., że język ukraiński jest – potrzebny w przyszłości, ciekawy i potrzebny już teraz oraz, że lektorat języka ukraińskiego jest dobrym u…
Training practices of Filipino athletes during the early covid-19 lockdown
2022
The imposition of COVID-19 lockdown restricted the daily activities of many people, including athletes. This study investigated the training practices of athletes in the Philippines during the first COVID-19 lockdown. A total of 442 athletes answered an online survey (May-July 2020), with questions pertaining to training practices, such as training frequency and duration. Data were analyzed according to: athlete classification (world-class, international, national, state, or recreational), sport category (individual or team), and sex (male or female). During lockdown, significant reductions in training frequency (except recreational, i.e., lower pre-lockdown training) and duration were obse…
Anàlisi de la mobilitat de l'estudiant universitari en el marc de l'Europa 2020 per al foment de l'ocupació i les competències genèriques. Un estudi …
2012
Aquesta investigació analitza la percepció de l'estudiant universitari sobre els beneficis de la mobilitat estudiantil en l'Espai Europeu d'Educació Superior. Especialment atenem a l'anàlisi de competències genèriques que puguin atorgar més possibilitats en la recerca d'ocupació. Per això, abordem un estudi de casos a la Universitat d'Oviedo des d'una metodologia quantitativa prenent com a referència els objectius marcats en la iniciativa Europa 2020. Les conclusions donen resultats molt positius en competències interdisciplinars per a la recerca de feina, com ara el domini idiomàtic, el coneixement de noves societats i dels entorns professionals.
