La escritura expresiva en la orientación. Una metodología educativa para la construcción del proyecto de vida personal y profesional
2020
La scrittura espressiva adottata a scuola come strumento di autorientamento dell’adolescente di 17-18 anni non sostituisce l’intervento educativo dell’insegnante, piuttosto può considerarsi una tecnica efficace per raccogliere tutte le informazioni necessarie con cui formare, con il consenso dell’alunno e insieme a lui, un quadro esaustivo in cui includere lo stato attuale delle sue competenze, le sue attitudini, i suoi interessi, le sue motivazioni, la sua storia formativa, il suo profilo di personalità, i suoi limiti, nonché i suoi obiettivi e le modalità concrete con cui egli pensa di raggiungerli. Essa è pertanto un metodo educativo con cui gli studenti che si approssimano a svolgere gl…
Functions definable by numerical set-expressions
2011
A "numerical set-expression" is a term specifying a cascade of arithmetic and logical operations to be performed on sets of non-negative integers. If these operations are confined to the usual Boolean operations together with the result of lifting addition to the level of sets, we speak of "additive circuits". If they are confined to the usual Boolean operations together with the result of lifting addition and multiplication to the level of sets, we speak of "arithmetic circuits". In this paper, we investigate the definability of sets and functions by means of additive and arithmetic circuits, occasionally augmented with additional operations.
On the Complexity and Wholeness of Human Beings: Husserlian Perspectives
2017
At the beginning of Being and Time, Heidegger rejects Husserl’s classical phenomenology on three grounds: he claims that Husserlian phenomenology is impaired by indeterminate concepts, by naïve personalism, and by obscurities in its account of individuation. The paper studies the validity of this early critique by explicating Husserl’s discourse on human persons as bodily-spiritual beings and by clarifying his account of the principles by which such beings can be individuated. The paper offers three types of considerations. After a summary of Heidegger’s early critique of Husserl, the second section of the paper distinguishes between two dimensions of Husserl’s discourse on human persons. I…
Formare docenti creativi per costruire una società democratica e inclusiva
2023
Questo contributo si ispira a Mario Lodi e alla sua concezione della scuola come luogo potenziale in cui scoprire, nell’età dello sviluppo, le proprie capacità ma anche le proprie preferenze e i propri desideri e, nello stesso tempo, come contesto in cui sperimentare la dimensione comunitaria e di gruppo per potere divenire adulti consapevoli e attenti al bene comune. Il termine “potenziale” è utilizzato perché la scuola può non arrivare ad assolvere il suo compito ma, al contrario, contribuire a conformare il pensiero, a diffondere una cultura della competizione e a perpetuare le disuguaglianze. Benchè ci siano stati sicuramente cambiamenti significativi, legati anche alle trasformazioni s…
Novel Indexing Method of Relations Between Salient Objects
2011
Since the last decade, images have been integrated into several application domains such as GIS, medicine, etc. This integration necessitates new managing methods particularly in image retrieval. Queries should be formulated using different types of features such as low-level features of images (histograms, color distribution, etc.), spatial and temporal relations between salient objects, semantic features, etc. In this chapter, we propose a novel method for identifying and indexing several types of relations between salient objects. Spatial relations are used here to show how our method can provide high expressive power to relations in comparison to the traditional methods.
Social media e comunicazione fatica: verso una tipologia delle pratiche in rete
2017
Social media and fatic communication: toward a typology of practices in the web. It is often said that the communicative functioning of social networks is based on the “fatic function” of language and, in general, of semiosis. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the conceptual meaning of this notion, returning to the fundamental authors who have coined it; and therefore to show its relationships with the referential function, on the one hand, and the expressive one, on the other. Hence, another aim of the paper is sketch a typology of facebook users, halfway between desire to share and self-construction project.
Early markers of language delay in children with and without family risk for dyslexia
2015
Accepted manuscript version. Published version at http://doi.org/10.1177/0142723715596122. This study examined the extent to which receptive and productive vocabulary between ages 12 and 18 months predicted language skills at age 24 months in children born with family risk for dyslexia (FR) and a control group born without that risk. The aim was to identify possible markers of early language delay. The authors monitored vocabulary growth in 32 FR children and 21 control children longitudinally by using the Norwegian adaption of the MacArthur–Bates Communicative Development Inventories. The results show different patterns in the two groups: the study found a stronger interdependence of early…
Developmental trajectories of early communication skills.
2012
Purpose This study focused on developmental trajectories of prelinguistic communication skills and their connections to later parent-reported language difficulties. Method The participants represent a subset of a community-based sample of 508 children. Data include parent reports of prelinguistic communication skills at 12, 15, 18, and 21 months and language difficulties at age 4;7 (years;months). The authors used latent profile analysis to identify groups of children with differing developmental trajectories of prelinguistic communication skills ( n = 271). The relations among these groups and follow-up data of parent-reported concerns of language development ( n = 187), as well as the ro…
Development of early motor skills and language in children at risk for familial dyslexia
2007
Differences in motor development and the relationship between motor and language development were studied in 88 children with familial risk for dyslexia (43 females, 45 males; at-risk group) and 88 children without familial risk for dyslexia (35 females, 53 females; control group; n=176) during the first two years of life. A structured parental questionnaire was used to assess motor development. Expressive language skills were assessed at the age of 18 months with the Reynell Developmental Language Scales and at 18 and 24 months with the MacArthur Communicative Development Inventories. At group level, the motor development of children in both the at-risk and control groups was similar. Howe…
Reading outcomes of children with delayed early vocabulary: A follow-up from age 2-16.
2018
Abstract Background Delays in expressive vocabulary have been associated with lower outcomes in reading. Aim The aim is to conduct a long-term follow-up study to investigate if early expressive vocabulary delay (late talking) predicts reading development in participants age 16 and under. We examine further if the prediction is different in the presence of family risk for dyslexia (FR) and early receptive vocabulary delay. Methods Expressive and receptive vocabulary skills were assessed at the age of 2–2.5 years, and reading skills in Grades 2, 3, 8 and 9 (age 8–16). The longitudinal sample consisted of 200 Finnish-speaking children, of which 108 had FR for dyslexia and 92 came from families…
