Au revoir Paris! Spanish regions closer to the EU average and further away from the leaders
2021
This paper confirms that Spanish regions in 2015 were closer to the EU average in labour productivity than in 2000, but further away from the richest regions such as Île de France. A dynamic shift-share analysis at a 10-industry level of disaggregation shows that the main driver of convergence with the EU average is catch-up in labour productivity within the same industry, while disparities with the top regions (especially Île de France) mainly involve differences in patterns of specialization (between-industry divergence) followed by technological divergence (within-industry effect). The industry mix of the regions reveals that a new pattern of specialization is taking shape in Europe, dri…
Matching across space: evidence from Finland
2005
This paper studies spatial aspects in local labour markets in Finland from the perspective of a matching approach. The monthly data comprise 173 Local Labour Office are as over a 12-year period between January 1991 and August 2002. The basic matching function is extended to account for spatial spill-overs between the local labour markets. The role of population density in the matching process is also examined. According to results, the Finnish local labour markets suffer from a strong congestion effect among job seekers, and spatial spill-overs even strengthen the congestion. An open vacancy is filled much easier than a job seeker is employed. The results show that the matching efficiency i…
El nost Milan: il rap dei ‘nuovi italiani', tra riappropriazioni urbane e rivendicazioni identitarie
2019
italianoFin dai suoi esordi, la cultura hip-hop e stata attraversata da una forte connotazione in senso spaziale, che ne ha variamente contraddistinto i diversi elementi. La citta post-industriale, specie lungo i suoi margini e nei suoi interstizi, rappresenta infatti un sito cruciale a partire dal quale la storia ma, soprattutto, la geografia del rap sono andate col tempo costruendosi. Obiettivo di questo articolo e di riflettere criticamente sulla relazione fra rap e spazi urbani in Italia alla luce delle complesse costruzioni culturali, sociali e politiche che la sottendono, con particolare riferimento a due rapper milanesi della cosiddetta generazione dei nuovi italiani, Zanko e Ghali. …
Service-learning in physical education teacher education: towards a critical and inclusive perspective
2020
The purpose of this study was to analyse the impact of service-learning (SL) in physical education teacher education students (PETEs). The PETEs (n = 169) completed one of the editions of a SL program carried out between 2015–2018. This program consisted of designing and leading motor game sessions to facilitate the inclusion of 116 children with special educational needs (SEN). The program was based on Kolb’s learning stages to promote reflection and critical thinking. Reflective journals were used as an instrument to gather information from their experiences. These data were analysed qualitatively through a multiphase approach, initial open-coding and axial coding, using NVivo (10) softwa…
Wielowymiarowa działalność szkoły na rzecz wspierania rozwoju dzieci i młodzieży ze specjalnymi potrzebami edukacyjnymi wyzwaniem dla edukacji jutra
2017
Niezaprzeczalnym prawem każdego dziecka, także niepełnosprawnego, niedostosowanego społecznie, mającego trudności w uczeniu się, jest prawo do edukacji. Aktualnie obowiązujące rozwiązania prawne zmierzają do zorganizowania zintegrowanych działań pedagogicznych, w trakcie indywidualizowanych zajęć edukacyjnych. Szkoła jest w pełni odpowiedzialna za zorganizowanie odpowiedniej organizacji działań dla uczniów o zróżnicowanych potrzebach edukacyjnych.

Co utrudnia opis logopedycznych zjawisk? Od słuchoniemoty, afazji wrodzonej i alalii do specyficznego zaburzenia językowego (SLI)
2016
This article, dedicated to Professor Stanisław Gajda because of his anniversary, raises theoretical issues of accuracy and explicitness of terms used in science which are familiar to him. Logopaedics, by virtue of its interdisciplinary character and exposure to borderline of numerous and often very distant from each other sciences such as anatomy, linguistics or physics, significantly uses appropriate for these sciences tools of descriptions (freąuently doubling notions) and thus, it represents a very good example of discipline in which unnecessary overgrowth of terminology makes it difficult to track research results and ąuality analysis of phenomena. Specific Language Impairment (SLI) is …
Literacy Skill Development of Children With Familial Risk for Dyslexia Through Grades 2, 3, and 8
2015
This study followed the development of reading speed, reading accuracy, and spelling in transparent Finnish orthography through Grades 2, 3, and 8. We compared two groups of children with familial risk for dyslexia, with or without dyslexia in Grade 2 (Dys_FR, n = 35 and NoDys_FR, n = 66) to a group of children without familial risk and dyslexia (Controls, n = 72). The Dys_FR group showed persisting deficiency especially in reading speed, and, to a minor extent, in reading and spelling accuracy. The Dys_FR children, contrary to the other two groups, relied heavily on letter-by-letter decoding in Grades 2 and 3. In children not fulfilling the criteria for dyslexia in Grade 2, the familial ri…
The Far-Reaching Consequences of Job Insecurity : A Review on Family-Related Outcomes
2017
Job insecurity (JI) appears a fairly stable job stressor in working life today and likely to impair employee well-being. This review article presents the key findings of studies examining the effects of perceived JI on family well-being (e.g., marital/parental role quality, work–family conflict). The results, based on 25 published peer-reviewed studies, suggest an association between JI and impaired family well-being. Thus, JI spills over into family life as proposed in the spillover theory of work–family interface. Furthermore, studies have found some evidence of crossover effects of JI from parents to children: parents’ JI relates to negative outcomes in children. These results support th…
An Examination of Tourist Arrivals Dynamics Using Short-Term Time Series Data: A Space—Time Cluster Approach
2013
The purpose of this study is to examine the development of Italian tourist areas ( circoscrizioni turistiche) through a cluster analysis of short time series. The technique is an adaptation of the functional data analysis approach developed by Abraham et al (2003), which combines spline interpolation with k-means clustering. The findings indicate the presence of two patterns (increasing and stable) averagely characterizing groups of territories. Moreover, tests of spatial contiguity suggest the presence of ‘space–time clusters’; that is, areas in the same ‘time cluster’ are also spatially contiguous. These findings appear to be more robust in particular for those series characterized by an…
