Where Democrats Disagree: Citizens’ Normative Conceptions of Democracy

2017

While support for the essential norms of liberal electoral democracy is high in almost all developed democracies, there is arguably also a gap between democratic aspirations and democratic practice, leading to dissatisfaction among citizens. We argue that citizens may hold very different normative conceptions of democracy which are equally compatible with support for liberal democracy, but lead to different expectations where institutional design and democratic practice are concerned. Satisfaction with democracy may thus depend on congruence between such normative conceptions and institutionally entrenched norms. Drawing on survey data from Germany with a comprehensive item battery on attit…

The consequences of supply gaps in two‐dimensional policy spaces for voter turnout and political support: The case of economically left‐wing and cult…

2019

Parties with left-wing positions on economic issues and right-wing (i.e., authoritarian) positions on cultural issues have been historically largely absent from the supply side of the policy space of Western European democracies. Yet, many citizens hold such left-authoritarian issue attitudes. This article addresses the hypotheses that left-authoritarian citizens are less likely to vote, less satisfied with the democratic process and have lower levels of political trust when there is a left-authoritarian supply gap. Using data for 14 Western European countries from the European Social Survey 2008 in the main analysis, it is shown that left-authoritarians are less likely to vote and exhibit …

Language constraints in producing prefiguration posters for a scientific exhibition

1997

The museographic transposition of scientific knowledge leads notably to the preparation of exhibition posters. This is a delicate operation, on account of the constraints imposed by space, language, concepts and the text. These difficulties are even greater in the case of bovine reproduction biotechnologies, such as cloning, where knowledge is not yet stable. This paper deals with the choices made during the phase of museographic transposition. First of all, based on an epistemological approach, a historical analysis of knowledge-building underpins the choice of information to be presented. Language is then selected according to the linguistic analysis of a series of articles which popular…

Rieducazione geriatrica: approccio sistemico

2016

La rieducazione geriatrica e portata a evolvere in un contesto di grande eterogeneita della popolazione anziana. Dai piu robusti ai piu dipendenti, passando per i soggetti fragili, la variabilita delle capacita sensorimotorie e cognitive di questi pazienti anziani giustifica l’istituzione di una valutazione specifica. Per quanto riguarda le capacita motorie, diversi test funzionali sono gia utilizzati e validati. E proposta, qui, una valutazione sistemica della funzione dell’equilibrio, basata sull’invecchiamento degli aspetti centrali (invecchiamento del controllo motorio) e degli aspetti periferici (invecchiamento del sistema muscoloscheletrico), e, piu in generale, della motricita negli …

Transitions in adolescence and type 1 diabetes: a socio-anthropological approach

2019

Resume L’adolescence est un « moment dense » de l’existence durant lequel une constellation de micro-passages a la fois biologiques, personnels, familiaux et sociaux, s’entrecroisent. Les sentiments d’incertitude et d’instabilite engendres par ces transitions peuvent etre amplifies par l’experience de la maladie. A partir de deux recherches sociologiques et anthropologiques menees sur les transformations du corps et les passages d’âge entre 9 et 14 ans et sur les transitions medicales et biographiques que vivent les jeunes de 12 a 21 ans porteurs de diabete de type 1 (DT1), nous avons analyse la maniere dont les manifestations de la maladie se greffent au processus de grandir. Nous decrivon…

Inteligencia artificial, big data y aplicaciones contra la COVID-19: privacidad y protección de datos

2020

espanolEl big data y la IA han fracasado en la prevencion, pero pueden ser muy utiles frente a la COVID-19 e incluso para evitar confinamientos y otras restricciones de derechos que provoca. La IA puede ser extremadamente eficaz para integrar, estructurar y extraer informacion y conocimiento de ingente cantidad y variedad de big data para la investigacion biomedica. Tambien es util para mejorar la atencion e informacion ciudadana y de salud, la telemedicina y la mejor asignacion de los recursos humanos y materiales. Mas amenazante para la privacidad puede ser el desarrollo de apps, pasaportes biologicos electronicos o sistemas de geolocalizacion, trazabilidad y monitoreo de personas impleme…

Ecografia polmonare: principi e applicazioni in fisioterapia respiratoria

2019

L’ecografia polmonare ha beneficiato di un interesse crescente negli ultimi anni in medicina e, piu recentemente, in fisioterapia. I normali strumenti di valutazione del fisioterapista hanno una precisione diagnostica limitata. In questo contesto, l’ecografia polmonare fornisce un’eccellente precisione nella valutazione dei deficit che possono interessare il fisioterapista: consolidamento polmonare, sindrome alveolointerstiziale, versamento pleurico, diaframma e cosi via. L’uso dell’ecografia polmonare da parte del fisioterapista offre nuove prospettive, migliorando la precisione dell’esame clinico e guidando la scelta della strategia terapeutica di fronte a deficit polmonari e diaframmatic…
