Uso de la infografía en la optativa “Alimentación y Dietética” del grado de Medicina
2020
[ES] Como sustitución de la clase magistral, en la sesión dedicada a tratar las características de “dietas occidentales de moda” de la asignatura optativa 34493-Alimentación y Dietética del Grado en Medicina de la Universitat de Valencia, se utilizaron infografías previamente diseñadas por los estudiantes. Con esta iniciativa se pretendía mejorar la participación del alumnado en la asignatura, además de profundizar en la materia, mejorar sus habilidades digitales y de búsqueda y síntesis de información. Esta propuesta fue bien valorada por el estudiantado, que mostró su preferencia por esta forma de trabajar frente a la clase magistral. Además, opinó que la actividad mejoraba su capacidad d…
El descubrimiento de nuevos fármacos, concepto umbral en farmacología.
2021
[EN] The so-called “threshold concepts” are present in all areas of study. Its acquisition by the student represents a milestone in the advancement of the conceptual understanding of a subject. They are often difficult to learn, but when they are overcome they generate a reconceptualization that allows progress and deepening in the subject of study. We present an activity designed to develop a key threshold concept in pharmacology, the drug discovery process. To do this, we develop a practical laboratory project that will integrate both the extraction and search for active ingredients and the simulation of some aspects of their clinical trials in the phase I.

Teorie globali per azioni locali: i processi autonomi di riappropriazione dello spazio
2014
Le pratiche autonome di (ri)appropriazione e riconversione temporanea a fini “pubblici” di aree in disuso hanno fatto emergere nelle principali città europee (e non solo) e in maniera significativa in alcune tra le più importanti città italiane, esperienze di partecipazione interessanti dal punto di vista della sperimentazione di pratiche capaci di proporre politiche pubbliche dal basso e di costruire strategie alternative di “produzione dello spazio” (Lefebvre, 1991). Per poter costruire queste “utopie concrete” è come se i poveri, gli sfruttati, “coloro che non ci stanno”, ricorrendo a forme di disobbedienza radicale, definissero uno “stato d’eccezione proclamato dal basso” (Virno, 2012),…
Rigenerazione urbana e pratiche urbane microspaziali
2017
Nello scenario post-crisi attuale, che ha visto la sensibile riduzione delle risorse pubbliche per i progetti di rigenerazione urbana, in molte realtà urbane italiane e non solo, stiamo assistendo alla crescita di una serie di pratiche urbane micro-spaziali che stanno ridisegnando gli spazi urbani. Si tratta di esperienze che diversi studiosi hanno definito come "insurgent", "do-it-yourself" (DIY), "guerrilla", "everyday", "participatory" e/o "grassroots" urbanism (Haydn and Temel, 2006; Borasi and Zardini, 2008; Chase et al., 2008; Burnham, 2010; Hou, 2010; Zeiger, 2011a) e che si caratterizzano per una capacità proattiva che sfida gli approcci tradizionali delle politiche urbane e le loro…
Cosmetic Practices: The Intersection with Aesthetics and Medicine
2018
According to Shusterman, somaesthetics is as an aesthetic-ethical art of living, a practice devoted to living an attractively good life. So the aesthetic experience is not limited to art, but concerns also everyday life; consequently we can explain cosmetic practices (from make-up and hair-styling to plastic surgery) not only as making beauty, but also as feeling beauty, as a feeling better with oneself and with others. When beyond aesthetics purpose there is a functional purpose, cosmetic practices meet the medical science. This essay focuses on Somaesthetics in relation to high culture and popular culture. Firstly, some artistic practices are examined, which operate onto or into the body …
Is the French mobile phone cartel really a cartel?
2009
International audience; France Telecom (FT), SFR and Bouygues Telecom (BT) have been fined by France's Conseil de la Concurrence (CC) for organizing a mobile phone cartel with stable market shares (one-half, one-third and one-sixth, respectively) and for directly exchanging commercial information. While not contesting the legal decision, it is argued here that the economic reasoning is flawed. (1) As the CC made much of the firms' stable market shares, we have first followed this line of reasoning by considering that the market shares are quotas under uniform costs. Even if there is a general incentive to form a monopolistic cartel, BT was too small for it to be worth its while to join it; it i…

The effect of organizational separation on individuals' knowledge sharing in MNCs
2017
Abstract The ability of an organization to apply knowledge globally has been conceptualized as critical for the existence of multinational corporations (MNCs). We argue for an organizational separation effect on knowledge sharing that challenges the view of the MNC as a latent social community. Using a unique data-set of more than 4000 individual responses from an MNC, Telenor, we test how three types of drivers for individuals’ knowledge sharing – individuals’ motivation, and individuals’ perceptions of organizational values and organizational work practices – work differently within, as opposed to across, business units. Our analysis suggests that while intrinsic motivation, innovative va…
