Biografic turning point in lifetime of individuals living in degraded contexts. The role of resilience.
2020
In the course of their lives all people experience events such as the loss of a parent, a child, job or sometimes violence, after which life is no longer the same. In these moments the regular, repetitive and comforting course of life changes because the event is the turning point that changes the direction of the subject's lifetime. The paper is focused on a study of 60 cases in which resilience intervenes in the biographies of individuals, living in conditions of socio-spatial marginality and high social vulnerability, to restore the existential imbalance of a biographical discontinuity represented by a traumatic event. The problem of the research focuses on understanding the role of resi…
Global Spaces for Local Politics: An Exploratory Analysis of Facebook Ads in Spanish Election Campaigns
2021
[EN] Sponsored content on Facebook has become an indispensable tool for implementing political campaign strategies. However, in political communication research, this channel is still unexplored due to its advertising model in which only target audiences are exposed to sponsored content. The launching of the Facebook Ad Library in May 2018 can be considered a turning point in this regard, inasmuch as it now offers users direct access to ads paid for by political parties, among other advertisers. This paper analyzes some aspects of the strategies implemented by six national parties during the campaigns running up to the two general elections held in Spain in 2019, by performing an analysis o…
Diagnosis in track and field performances past the 1988 Ben Johnson doping scandal
1999
Beginning with the early 1960s, a lot of performance supporting effects have been integrated in the structure of track and field training, such as technical progress, theoretical knowledge of the training process, development of societies and medical steps, which among others include the forbidden use of steroids or other doping ‘techniques’. Since the integration of those effects took place quite fast, a logistic growth of world class performances concerning the years 1960–1988 can be observed in many disciplines especially if they were not far developed at the beginning of this period. Eight years (1989–1996) later, doping tests of world class athletes have spread (or should have spread) …

Children’s Right to Play and Its Implementation: A Comparative, International Perspective
2021
The child's right to play is specifically addressed in the framework of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The international recognition of this right is the central theme of this study. Through a documentary analysis of the reports of the States Parties to the Convention and the Concluding Observations of the Committee on the Rights of the Child, the study assesses the recognition of this right. The entry into force of General Comment 17 on the right of the child to rest, recreation, play, recreational activities, cultural life and the arts (art. 31) in 2013 should have marked a turning point in policies on children in the States Parties, but this did not occur. Policies cannot be …
Giovani devianti, desistenza dal crimine, riflessività: note su una ricerca
2015
La ricerca che viene presentata nel paper mette a fuoco il fenomeno della desistenza dal crimine da parte di giovani devianti in alcune città siciliane, evidenziando come entri in gioco la dimensione della riflessività individuale, nel contesto delle loro relazioni con gli operatori sociali che si occupano delle loro vicende giudiziarie. Quello della desistenza non è un fenomeno così raro, come talvolta si ritiene, ma effettivamente assai frequente, come documenta la ricerca socio-criminologica, specie quella che opera nell’ambito della developmental life-course criminology, un indirizzo di studio interdisciplinare che tematizza i fenomeni devianti e criminali in chiave dinamica, inquadrand…
Desistenza dal crimine e discontinuità biografiche: un’analisi dinamica di percorsi di vita di giovani adulti
2011
In the chapter, a discussion is presented concerning a sample of young people who tend to get out of a deviant life path thanks to the strong 'discontinuity' represented by a prison sentence and by being entrusted to social services. The authors succeed in bringing out the process through which an experience - that of punishment - is articulated, i.e. lived and interpreted by the subjects, with the facilitation of a social worker. One can thus see how the articulation of the experience (supported by a social worker) can bring out a reflexivity that is not fractured, which instead characterised many of these young people before entering the transition phase. This also constitutes an importan…
Stories of professional development in physiotherapy education
2022
This study examines graduating physiotherapy students’ narratives related to their professional development. The data comprised interviews with 33 graduating physiotherapy students. The data were analyzed using the narrative analysis approach. As a result, five different story models were identified. The descriptive story models were named: 1) “Study path dominated by life changes”; 2) “Realizing the connection between physiotherapy theory and practice”; 3) “Self-regulated and practical-oriented learning path”; 4) “Becoming a critical developer”; and 5) “Multiprofessional working towards expertise”. In students’ stories, there appeared different turning points that illustrated especially me…
