Disability in Older People and Socio-Economic Deprivation in Italy: Effects on the Care Burden and System Resources

2021

The sustainability of European Long-Term Care systems faces the demographic and socio-economic circumstances, mainly the increasing ageing of the population, with its chronic disease conditions, and the simultaneous economic general crises, exacerbated by the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Beyond the increase in general rate of relative poverty, there is a higher risk of poverty among elderly and families in a high demand of care, especially if situations of Activities Daily Living (ADL) disability are present. Italian welfare, which is based on family care regimes and regional strategies, and is oriented to private or public care, is a relevant case study with which to analyze such a relationsh…

Long-Term Educational Sustainability: Educational Innovation in Social Vulnerability Contexts

2017

This paper investigates the behavior of children from low socioeconomic status families and examines the effects of a socioemotional education program on aggression in children. The results of the program are compared according to the children’s gender and age, the family structure, the parents’ educational attainment, and social status. The results show that applying socioemotional education programs reduces children’s aggression and encourages positive development during adolescence. This positive development fosters open, expressive behavior.

Un retrato de las tipologías sociales de la España de los años 50 a través de El DDT contra las penas = A portrait of social typologies of Spain from…

2015

Tradicionalmente, la historieta ha sido considerada como una forma cultural menor de vocación infantil, por lo que su estudio había sido soslayado en los estudios históricos hasta la reivindicación que diferentes investigadores comenzaron a hacer de la importancia historiográfica de la historieta tanto como referente gráfico como recurso de análisis diacrónico y sincrónico. En el presente estudio se hace un análisis de las posibilidades de estudio de tipologías y estereotipos sociales que muestra una de las publicaciones humorísticas básicas de los años 50, El DDT contra las penas, de Editorial Bruguera, indicando cómo los diferentes personajes que aparecen en sus páginas se pueden clasific…

Occupations protohistoriques et médiévales en marge du village actuel de Ruvigny : Ruvigny, Aube "Proche l'Eglise". Document final de synthèse

2018

L’occupation se caractérise tout d’abord par une batterie au moins une soixantaine de silos de la transition entre le premier et le second Âge du Fer avec un bruit de fond Néolithique (mobilier résiduel) et Bronze final (quelques fosses et silos). Certains de ces silos ont livré un important mobilier céramique qui, couplé à des rejets de forges et des objets attestant d’un travail de tissage, pourrait indiquer la présence d’un habitat associé à proximité immédiate. L’activité métallurgique est attestée dès le Hallstatt D3.Si aucune inhumation n’a été retrouvé dans les silos, quelques ossements humains épars ont été prélevé dans quatre d’entre eux. Il faut également noter la présence du dépô…

Siirtymäresurssit varhaiskasvatuksen siirtymätilan suhteissa ja muutoksissa

2023

Artikkeli tarkastelee yhden lapsen siirtymäresursseja varhaiskasvatuspolun erilaisissa siirtymissä. Etnografinen, pitkittäisasetelmaan perustuva tutkimusaineisto muodostuu yhden lapsen varhaiskasvatuspolun ensimmäisistä päivistä aina esiopetuksen alkuun. Artikkeli vastaa kysymykseen siitä, millaisia resursseja lapsi hyödyntää siirtymätilassa sekä millaisia muutoksia resurssien hyödyntämisessä tapahtuu siirtymien aikana? Siirtymiä tarkastellaan siirtymätiloina, jotka rakentuvat sekä tilanteisesti että relationaalisesti, eli suhteessa ympäristöön ja muihin toimijoihin. Lisäksi artikkelissa käytetään siirtymäresurssin käsitettä, joka viittaa tilannekohtaisiin tietoihin, taitoihin ja materiaali…

Sosiaalisen median kommenttien analyysi multimodaalisesta näkökulmasta digitaalisen journalismin ja poliittisen viestinnän tutkimuksessa

2021

Societal discussions flow on social media platforms that are studied by researchers in multiple ways and through various kinds of data sets that are extracted from them. In the studies of these discussions, multimodality unravels the semiotic modes that are communication resources through which meanings are socially and culturally created and expressed. In addition, the viewpoint of affordances can be used for viewing the functions of social media platforms and their discussions. Furthermore, this review was conducted to better understand how social media comments are researched from the perspective of multimodality in the context of digital journalism and political communication. A systema…

Effect of Cycloplegia on Blur Perception Thresholds as Measured by Source Method

2017

Abstract One of the advantages of a source method over observer method in blur perception measurements is better control of a stimulus blur level, which is achieved with computerised image processing unlike the observer method that requires optical defocusing of the observer. The aim of this study was to determine if paralysation of accommodation has effect on blur perception thresholds, thereby evaluating its necessity in such experiments. Blur perception thresholds (just noticeable blur, clear image, recognition, and non-resolvable blur thresholds) were evaluated with (using cycloplegia) and without paralysed accommodation to determine effect on blur perception. A computerised low-pass sp…

Measuring the Task Induced Oscillatory Brain Activity Using Tensor Decomposition

2019

The characterization of dynamic electrophysiological brain activity, which form and dissolve in order to support ongoing cognitive function, is one of the most important goals in neuroscience. Here, we introduce a method with tensor decomposition for measuring the task-induced oscillations in the human brain using electroencephalography (EEG). The time frequency representation of source-reconstructed singletrail EEG data constructed a third-order tensor with three factors of time ∗ trails, frequency and source points. We then used a non-negative Canonical Polyadic decomposition (NCPD) to identify the temporal, spectral and spatial changes in electrophysiological brain activity. We validate …
