The Rights of the Child forgotten in Italy\u2019s coronavirus emergency

The coronavirus emergency radically changes our habits and way of life, and clearly highlight the inadequacy of our decision-making apparatus and the latent injustices in society. The paper focuses on the failure consideration of the needs and rights of the Child in the urgent decrees implemented by the Italian Government and by the most affected Regions of the peninsula. In a general context in which the perception of the danger activates regressive mechanisms at a social level (such as the search for the scapegoat and the polarization of the behaviours of the citizens), one would expect that the ruling classes maintain rationality and foresight in management of the crisis. Moreover, a scarce "widespread pedagogical culture" which generated the complete removal of the child and educational issue from the political agenda and from public discourse up to the present day. The question of the relationship between education and democracy and the education as a community task must be reconsider as a prior topic for our society, as John Dewey taught

The challenge of “rationality” and “commitment” within “Pedagogical Problematicism” paradigm

The thought of Giovanni Maria Bertin and the “Pedagogical Problematicism” approach he forged, aims to es- tablish “the education challenge” as an essential issue for the whole of society. Studies adopting Problematicism as their theoretical framework build upon or argue in favour of two core notions: “rationality”, conceived of as a methodological horizon (i.e., a guideline for conferring meaning on education); and “commitment”, con- ceived of as fundamental to an ethical and political vision of education. Like other deleterious effects of global- isation, the coronavirus pandemic poses new questions to both education professionals and scholars, providing us with new and urgent issues to be analysed from the viewpoint of Problematicism. In the contemporary sce- nario, Pedagogy should be considered as an authoritative reference in the public debate, as a discipline capable of (re)orienting educational practices towards more autonomous and critical thought and as a scientific disci- pline at least as influential as the other human sciences. The following three sections included in the Issue intro- duction, aim to highlight the categories of Bertin’s philosophy of education by applying them to contemporary dilemmas and emergencies. In the first one (Towards a new Problematicism) Massimo Baldacci underlines the connection between Antonio Banfi’s and Berti’s thoughts as references to read the contemporary education dilemmas. The second one by Maurizio Fabbri (Experience and reality. Epistemological and political implications of the concept of reason in Antonio Banfi and his reasons for actuality) has focused on the connection be- tween Pedagogical Problematicism and politics. In the third one (What use for pedagogical problematicism in 2022? Problematicism and uncertainty against polarizations and binary thought) Alessandro Tolomelli uses the Problematicism approach to read two typical bias of the contemporary main stream way of thinking as the polarization and binarism tendency

The Stress and its Influence on the Health of the Nursing Professionals: The Case of Preceptors of a Clinical School

A pesquisa tem como objeto as condições geradoras de estresse e sua influência na saúde dos enfermeiros preceptores de uma clínica escola de enfermagem de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior (IES). Objetivos: Descrever as condições geradoras de estresse no ambiente de trabalho dos enfermeiros preceptores de uma clínica escola e analisar a influência sobre a saúde desses profissionais decorrentes das condições geradoras de estresse. Metodología: Estudo exploratório, com abordagem qualitativa, tendo como sujeitos sete enfermeiros (7), que corresponde a 78% do total de profissionais entrevistados.Utilizou-se roteiro de entrevista semiéstruturada. Ressultados principais: Os discursos foram analisados buscando a apreensão das condições geradoras de estresse e como esses fatores influenciam na saúde dos enfermeiros preceptores. Desse modo, a análise dos discursos possibilitou a formulação de duas categorias: I - Reconhecendo as fontes geradoras de estresse, sendo que esta apresenta três subcategorías temáticas: Assédio moral, Atraso de Salário e Sobrecarga de trabalho. II- A influência na saúde decorrente dos fatores geradores de estresse. Conclusão principal: As condições de trabalho constituem um fator predisponente para gerar estresse, sendo que estas condições englobam tudo que influencia o próprio trabalho: o ambiente, os meios, a tarefa, a jornada, a organização do trabalho, a alimentação, o salário e as relações interpessoais. O estudo aponta que o estresse pode ser um fator desencadeante de doenças. Neste contexto, observa-se a necessidade de elaborar estratégias eficientes, para tomada de medidas preventivas de forma que se possa previnir os agravos à saúde desses trabalhadores.Abstract: This research aims to study the conditions that lead to stress and their influence on the health of nurses in a clinical preceptors nursing school of a private Higher Education Institution (HEI) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Having objectives as: Describing the conditions that generate stress in the work environment of nurses and tutors and analyze the influence on the health of these professionals. Methodology: A qualitative exploratory study. For data collection we used a scripted semi structured interview. The subjects were 07 nurses preceptors who work at a clinic in al HEI school, corresponding to 78% of these professionals in the studied environment. The results showed that the stress response is an individual process and that for some workers, the perception and aggravations are higher. This research adds to other studies and confirms that stress can be a factor triggering various diseases. . The discourses analyzed showed two categories, the first being: Recognizing the sources of stress that included three subcategories: bullying, salary and workload and the second category: the influence on health due to the factors causing stress. It is important to highlight that within this context, it is noted the need for tracing strategies through the collaborative initiative involving the entire academic institution, requiring not only the knowledge of the factors causing stress, as well as the adoption of preventive measures of this problem, increasing the recognition and appreciation of the professional and seeking ways to improve the quality of life of its workers

Antropocene vs tautologia : quale ruolo per la pedagogia?

Il termine Antropocene ha il merito di aver posto l’accento sul ruolo del genere umano rispetto ai cambiamenti epocali che ha subito il pianeta dalla rivoluzione industriale ad oggi. L’Antropocene nelle sue varie declinazioni ci mette di fronte alla possibilità della fine della fine dell’umanità. Quello che rende difficile contrastare questa prefigurazione è il fatto che non percepiamo la possibilità di cambiare modello di sviluppo, di cambiare strada, come direbbe Morin, perché questo destino ci è stato trasmesso come l’aria che respiriamo, come uno zeitgeist che diamo per scontato piuttosto che come un fenomeno storico che ha avuto un inizio e può terminare. Ecco perché la sfida è prima di tutto razionale e impone agli educatori di elaborare la possibilità di un orientamento diverso da quello dominante per poter agire in una direzione divergente rispetto all’idea di immutabile destino. La pedagogia può quindi contribuire a formare un differente approccio a tale questione che non sia più solo di passiva lamentazione, ma di attiva opposizione. The concept of “Anthropocene” has been enlightening the role of the human being about the epochal changes that the planet has undergone from the industrial revolution to nowadays. The Anthropocene in its various forms confronts us with the possibility of the end of humanity. What makes it difficult to counter this prefiguration is the fact that we do not perceive the possibility of changing the development model, of changing direction, as Morin would say, because this destiny has been transmitted to us like the air we breathe, like a zeitgeist that we take for granted rather than as a historical phenomenon that had a beginning and can have an end. This is why the challenge is first of all rational and requires educators to develop the possibility of a different orientation from the dominant one in order to be able to act in a divergent direction with respect to the idea of immutable destiny. Therefore, Pedagogy can contribute to develop a different approach to this question that is no longer just a passive complaint, but an active oppositio

L\u2019empowerment come strumento di ri-abilitazione con il coinvolgimento della comunit\ue0

Se prendiamo in considerazione i dati dell\u2019amministrazione penitenziaria in Italia, possiamo parlare senz\u2019altro di \u201cun caso di fallimento del pubblico\u201d (Giordano et al., 2017). Molti sono gli elementi che ci parlano di questa criticit\ue0 impressionante. Infatti, sappiamo bene come le carceri italiane siano sovraffollate: nel 2010 la media era di 150 detenuti ogni 100 posti e dati pi\uf9 recenti parlano di 60.439 detenuti (al 30 aprile 2019), quasi 10.000 in pi\uf9 dei 50.511 posti letto ufficialmente disponibili, per un tasso di affollamento ufficiale che sfiora il 120% (Antigone, 2019). Dal 2013, quando la Corte Europea dei Diritti dell\u2019Uomo ha condannato l\u2019Italia per le \u201ccondizioni inumane\u201d delle carceri (Sentenza Torreggiani), non ci sono stati sensibili miglioramenti nonostante il calo dei reati e delle condanne

From green innovations in oligopeptide to oligonucleotide sustainable synthesis: differences and synergies in TIDES chemistry

The growing market for therapeutic peptides and oligonucleotides (TIDES) draws attention towards their manufacture, aiming at efficient and sustainable productive processes in view of the predicted massive application of these molecules in several therapeutic areas in the near future. A comparative assessment of the principal innovations in the synthesis of these molecules is described herein, with a major focus on solid-phase synthesis (SPS), describing particularly the less-explored field of solid-phase oligonucleotide synthesis (SPOS). A head-to-head analysis of SPS techniques applied to peptides and oligonucleotides was performed, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of these iterative synthetic approaches. The green innovations introduced in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), namely reduction or replacement with greener alternatives of solvents and reagents, and implementations in purification techniques, were reviewed and projected to potential targets and sustainable practices in modern SPOS, including their application in P(v) chemistry for the synthesis of stereopure oligonucleotides. By a comparative analysis, the key elements for the development of overall green procedures for oligonucleotide manufacturing were emphasized. In addition, due to the intrinsically more sustainable profile of liquid-phase synthetic techniques (LPS), recent advancements in the field reported for both TIDES were analyzed to prove the industrial interest in the manufacturing of these classes of molecules, underlining the importance of investment and modernization in the development of stronger and greener synthetic pathways

Thinking the History of Women’s Activism into Global Labor History

The thirteen critical and well-documented chapters of Women, Work, and Activism examine women’s labor struggle from late nineteenth-century Portuguese mutual societies to Yugoslav peasant women’s work in the 1930s, and from the Catalan labor movement under the Franco dictatorship to workplace democracy in the United States. The authors portray women’s labor activism in a wide variety of contexts including transnational organizing, feminist engagement with men-dominated trade unionism, long-distance migration, and the socialist workplace. The chapters address the involvement of working people in multiple and often unstable labor relations and in unpaid labor, as well as the role of the state and other institutions in shaping the history of women’s labor activism

Italia anni '70: nemico di Stato vs. Stato nemico

L'articolo affronta la visione dello Stato e delle istituzioni statuali all'interno della sinistra extraparlamentare italiana tra la fine degli anni Sessanta e il decennio successivo sulla base della pubblicistica circolante e del discorso pubblico costruito. Da una prospettiva opposta il saggio si sofferma anche sull'immagine e l'interpretazione del terrorismo che le istituzioni stesse promanano e su cui legittimano la propria reazione

Copper-Free Heck−Cassar−Sonogashira and Suzuki−Miyaura Reactions of Aryl Chlorides: A Sustainable Approach

Sustainable and efficient aryl halides with copper free Heck−Cassar−Sonogashira (HCS) and Suzuki−Miyaura (SM) cross-coupling reactions were described. Independently from the aryl chloride substituents, the green protocol based on N-hydroxyethylpyrrolidone (HEP)/water as solvents and sodium 2′-dicyclohexylphosphino-2,6-dimethoxy-1,1′-biphenyl-3-sulfonate (sSPhos) as ligand afforded the target products with a high turnover number (TON), high reaction mass efficiency (RME), and low process mass intensity (PMI). The best results have been obtained with TMG and Cs2CO3 as the base for the HCS and Cs2CO3 and K2CO3 for the SM coupling. The PMI and RME achieved are among the best in the field and allowed us to simplify purification processes that are critical for industrial applications
