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.
MOVILIDAD, TENENCIA Y DEMANDA DE VIVIENDA EN ESPAÑA
2003
Mobility studies take into account that housing tenure has a high influencethrough transaction costs. If benefit of change is greater than costs, the household willchange their dwelling, if not the household stays even though their consumption is notthe optimum. Our aim is to analyse the behaviour of Spanish households that facemobility and tenure decisions, taking into account that they are endogenous given theclose relation between both: the tenure selected depends on the future decisionregarding mobility and expected future mobility depends on the present decision abouttenure. Together with these decisions, we will analyse factors that determine thehousing services demand for recent move…
Movimenti che disturbano lo spazio della narrazione. Micro-diario di un viaggio (im)possibile
2015
Il movimento converte lo spazio in narrazione, scrive Giuliana Bruno nel suo Atlante (Bruno 2006). Viceversa, come si inventa lo spazio narrativo di corpi continuamente controllati, bloccati e anestetizzati nel loro movimento? O il movimento è altro e dovremmo cominciare a distinguerlo dalla mobilità (Cresswell 2006)? Prima scena. È il 2 settembre 2015. Ho un biglietto in mano per un treno fantasma. Un cordone di agenti della polizia circonda la maestosa stazione Keleti di Budapest e, amareggiata, penso che sarà impossibile entrare per chiunque. Tanto meno prendere il mio treno per Vienna. Ricordate il 2 settembre 2015? Le televisioni d’Europa gracchiavano all’unisono: una grande sollevazio…
Kinematics of Cervical Spine during Rowing Ergometer at Different Stroke Rates in Young Rowers: A Pilot Study
2022
Background: Research on biomechanics in rowing has mostly focused on the lumbar spine. However, injuries can also affect other body segments. Thus, the aim of this pilot study was to explore any potential variations in the kinematics of the cervical spine during two different stroke rates on the rowing ergometer in young rowers. Methods: Twelve young rowers of regional or national level were recruited for the study. The experimental protocol consisted of two separate test sessions (i.e., a sequence of 10 consecutive strokes for each test session) at different stroke rates (i.e., 20 and 30 strokes/min) on an indoor rowing ergometer. Kinematics of the cervical spine was assessed using an iner…
Knee extensor and flexor muscle power explains stair ascension time in patients with unilateral late-stage knee osteoarthritis: a cross-sectional stu…
2014
To determine the extent of asymmetrical deficits in knee extensor and flexor muscles, and to examine whether asymmetrical muscle deficits are associated with mobility limitations in persons with late-stage knee osteoarthritis (OA).Cross-sectional.Research laboratory.A clinical sample (N=56; age range, 50-75y) of eligible persons with late-stage knee OA awaiting knee replacement.Not applicable.Knee extensor and flexor power and torque assessed isokinetically; thigh muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) assessed by computed tomography; mobility limitation assessed by walking speed and stair ascension time; and pain assessed with the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index q…
Muscle deficits persist after unilateral knee replacement and have implications for rehabilitation.
2009
BackgroundKnee joint arthritis causes pain, decreased range of motion, and mobility limitation. Knee replacement reduces pain effectively. However, people with knee replacement have decreases in muscle strength (“force-generating capacity”) of the involved leg and difficulties with walking and other physical activities.Objective and DesignThe aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine the extent of deficits in knee extensor and flexor muscle torque and power (ability to perform work over time) and in the extensor muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) after knee joint replacement. In addition, the association of lower-leg muscle deficits with mobility limitations was investigated.Methods…
Warm-Up and Hamstrings Stiffness, Stress Relaxation, Flexibility, and Knee Proprioception in Young Soccer Players
2022
Context: Nerves or fascia may limit motion in young soccer players, thereby contributing to frequent hamstring injuries. Nerve gliding exercises and self-myofascial release techniques may enhance the range of motion. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the acute effect of foam rolling (FR) and neurodynamic nerve gliding (NDNG) on hamstring flexibility, passive stiffness, viscoelasticity and proprioception during the warm-up of soccer players. Design: Crossover study design. Setting: Research laboratory. Participants: Fifteen male soccer players on the same team (age 18.0 ± 1.4 years, body mass 76.9 ± 7.8 kg, height 183 ± 6 cm). Intervention: FR and NDNG included six sets of 45 s…
Les territoires périurbains entre dépendance automobile et ségrégation socio-spatiale : les ménages modestes fragilisés par les coûts de la mobilité
2012
A l'instar des " choix " résidentiels dans leur ensemble et d'autres catégories de ménages, le choix de s'installer ou de quitter des territoires périurbains dépendants de l'automobile effectué par des ménages modestes est le résultat de multiples logiques, à la fois économiques, sociales, professionnelles et familiales. Le terme de choix est certes controversé puisque de nombreuses contraintes interviennent dans la détermination d'une résidence et de sa localisation. Cependant, les contraintes et ressources objectives à l'œuvre (revenu disponible, aides diverses, etc.), les mécanismes sociaux, et donc plus subjectifs, façonnent également les préférences en termes de logement souhaitable ou…
Imagining a “post-carbon” future? Climate change as represented by media and film industries
2020
This study explores current trends in representing and communicating climate change by media industries. It reviews the current literature on mainstream media narratives of climate change focusing on their naturalization of progress and their techno-optimism (e.g., as regards geoengineering). It provides insight on how the media industry’s commercial agenda is linked to the types of disseminated messages and dominant imaginaries. It compares respective codes inherent in news media and film/fictional representations of climate change on representative examples. It traces the evolution of disaster/dystopian genres that involve climate issues. It discusses the implications from such a comparat…
Movescapes. Geografie del movimento fra spazio e rappresentazione
2013
This project has three main aims. First, it seeks to rethink space and spatiality from movement. To do this it follows some significant steps of philosophical tradition (Aristotle, Hegel, Heidegger, Merleau Ponty, Derrida, etc.) in an attempt to demonstrate the close relation between the movement of body and the production of space. No space would exist without an original movement producing it: the body comes out of himself, it spaces, and it is precisely in this dislocation that the spatiality is brought into being (Merleau Ponty). Bodies in motion produce space, but what happens if these bodies fall between the lines of a text or on the planes of a map? Can representational spaces hold t…
