University has changed dramatically over the last decades. From the spirit of Humboldt, that science in itself is the greatest motivator to study and do research, we experience a shift towards neoliberalism. Studying became part of something one needs to do to compete on a competitive job market. Research gets more and more influenced by interests of those financing research funds. Digitalization changed the way people interact in a university setting. This book shows different views regarding university: from being a student, becoming an alumnus and then maybe a teacher, challenging views on grading and exams, to problematic patriarchal structures and problems with creating a new study program. Students, alumni, researcher, and lecturers were invited to join this volume and give unique insights into (post-) university life.
L'educazione emotiva è un'esigenza sempre più sentita, a tutte le età: finalmente un libro chiaro e semplice che offre esempi illuminanti e strumenti concreti. Tuo figlio piccolo pianta un capriccio, l'ennesimo della giornata. Tu perdi le staffe e lo sgridi, e lui fa peggio. Tua figlia adolescente ti risponde male e si chiude in camera. Tu le urli che non deve permettersi di risponderti così, e lei non ti parla per giorni. Che cosa è successo? Che sei andato a sbattere contro le emozioni dei tuoi figli, e contro le tue, senza nemmeno rendertene conto. Ma c'è un'alternativa? Per fortuna, sì. L'alternativa è ascoltare. Ascoltare le emozioni che si agitano in loro e in te, riconoscerle,...

L'antimassonismo di questo libro, opera di un ex alto massone, Domenico Margiotta, esula in parte dal cliché della "teoria del complotto" tanto caro alla propaganda antimassonica. E' vero, vi si ritrovano, in una luce prettamente clericale, l'aberrante amalgama tra ebrei, protestanti, filosofi cosmopoliti, martiri della libertà, uniti in uno stesso complotto, orchestrato per sovvertire l'ordine costituito e l'identità comunitaria della società. La Massoneria, mischiando e confondendo volutamente origini sociali, nazionali e confessionali nega proprio le identità comunitarie; ma nelle pagine del libro trapela che tale condizione di sovvertimento è piuttosto da attribuire ad una voluta azione criminale esercitata fuori dall'ortodossia.
This book is aimed at primary care providers who care for the pediatric age group (general pediatrician, the PCP working with pediatric patients, and family medicine providers) with the goal of covering the endocrine differential diagnosis of common signs and symptoms of possible endocrine disease as well as appropriate initial laboratory evaluation and interpretation. While multiple pediatric endocrine textbooks exist, most of them are heavy in coverage of physiology and rare diseases, with less discussion of practical steps in evaluation and diagnosis. This book distinguishes itself through a very practical approach. The first section is organized by presenting signs and symptoms, the seco...
For five decades, negative body image has been a major focus of study due to its association with psychological and social morbidity, including eating disorders. However, more recently the body image construct has broadened to include positive ways of living in the body, enabling greater understanding of embodied well-being, as well as protective factors and interventions to guide the prevention and treatment of eating disorders. Handbook of Positive Body Image and Embodiment is the first comprehensive, research-based resource to address the breadth of innovative theoretical concepts and related practices concerning positive ways of living in the body, including positive body image and embod...
