A Bridge Between Body and Environment in Egocentric-Allocentric Switching Processes: Evidence from Behavioural and Neuroimaging Studies

In daily life activities like working on the computer or eating a meal at the lunch time, we encode the position of the objects around us according to an egocentric (subject-to-object) or allocentric (object-to-object) frame of reference. To give an example, while eating we encode the position of the fork with respect to the hand (i.e., egocentrically), but also with respect to the plate where the food is (i.e., allocentrically). It should be noted that while eating, rather than representing...

The Relationship between Workaholism, Well-Being and Performance: A Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Perspective Involving Subjective and Objective Measures

In the past decades, there have been many changes in the work context: the increasing use of technology (e.g., mobile devices as work tools), the constant 24-hour availability of workers, high job demands, and high-performance expectations. This culture of overwork has played a crucial role in the spread of workaholism, namely the individual tendency to work excessively and compulsively (Schaufeli, Taris & Bakker, 2008). Interest in workaholism has grown among scholars over the years, em...

THE PROTECTION OF DEAF IDENTITY: OPERATIONAL MODELS, TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION AND COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVES

This dissertation analyses the evolving legal conceptualisation of disability and its impact on the protection of the rights of persons with sensory disabilities, with particular focus on Deaf identity (or Deafhood). It traces the shift from a medical model of disability, centred on individual impairment, to a social and rights-based model that assigns responsibility to society for removing structural barriers. The research adopts a comparative perspective, further exploring the legal status...

Electrochemical treatment of pollutants from industrial wastewater for sustainable reuse

Environmental contaminants found in the various ecosystemic matrices may cause health, economic and social risks. One of these concerns at different territorial scales is the nitrogen content in industrial waste water. In particular, agricultural livestock farms apply these effluents to the soil with the mending/fertilising function. The excess of nitrogen compounds that leach, both due to the agrozootechnical system and the urban system, in surface and underground bodies cause risks to t...
