Una guida concreta, efficace, ricchissima di esercizi. Come si combattono gli ostacoli alla concentrazione; che fare se non avete voglia di concentrarvi; come usare la concentrazione per aumentare le capacità di memorizzazione e di apprendimento... La concentrazione non è un talento misterioso, né un gene che vi è toccato in sorte o vi è negato. A quanti si rammaricano perché trovano difficile rammentare le cose o prestare attenzione dopo un certo lasso di tempo, Sam Horn risponde: credetemi! potete farcela!

Il problema cruciale di una psicoterapia analitica di gruppo consiste nella possibilità per il paziente di sentirsi esistere entro il campo gruppale stesso. Qualora nel paziente manchi o sia molto fragile la preconcezione di un campo gruppale abitato da estranei l’esperienza terapeutica risulta impossibile e si interrompe. Ciò è particolarmente frequente in alcuni Disturbi di Personalità. Nel presente lavoro viene affrontato il tema del Disturbo Schizoide di Personalità e come sia stato possibile, in un lungo lavoro psicoterapeutico individuale, molto centrato sui sogni e su incontri con i familiari, rendere possibile ad un giovane paziente l’inizio proficuo di una psicoterapia di gruppo.

Il libro presenta un’inedita riflessione sistematica e organica sulla nascita in chiave pedagogica. Dopo una parte introduttiva, ci si concentra sulla gestazione e sul divenire della relazione genitori-figlio, considerando i sentimenti che scandiscono l’accoglienza di una nuova creatura e che recepiscono dalla sacralità della nascita stimoli preziosi per una rinnovata e feconda vitalità familiare. Approfondimenti specifici sono dedicati alla sapienza del corpo materno, alla presenza del padre in tutta l’esperienza generativa, alle trasformazioni via via più radicali e dirompenti che - attraverso l’attesa, il travaglio, il parto e l’allattamento - guidano i genitori a incontrare il “bambino reale” e ad accogliere quel processo di separazione che li porterà progressivamente a consegnare il proprio figlio al mondo.

The present essay introduces and discusses two important aspects of Wittgenstein’s philosophy. The first one is his insistence on the fact that philosophical investigations are conceptual or grammatical investigations, not to be confused with factual investigations. It will be shown that it is exactly this kind of confusion between the conceptual and the factual, which characterizes, according to Wittgenstein, metaphysical thinking. The second aspect, narrowly connected to the first one, concerns the way in which Wittgenstein tries to show that conceptual or grammatical investigations must take into account the correspondence obtained between our grammar or our conceptual formations on one hand and many general facts of nature on the other, without therefore becoming or taking up the form of a natural science or natural history.

According to the concept of sustainable development, available natural resources are limited and disproportionately exploited. The growing depletion of these resources is leading to intergenerational disparities, as it systematically deprives future generations of a standard of living even remotely comparable to the current one. Sustainability is an integrative and dynamic concept, composed of issues that have often been described as crossroads of interests and social initiatives, both economic and environmental. Being such a complex and multidimensional phenomenon, sustainability is thus very difficult to explore through traditional measurement approaches. The objective of this study is to define the research questions that subtend the concept of sustainability. In particular, the complexity of sustainability measurement in food security contexts and the approaches used for incorporating its economic, environmental and social facets will be analyzed.

The relevance of the study at the theoretical level is conditioned by the inconsistency of modern needs of domestic methodology and regulatory framework for state strategic planning, including strategic planning for the development of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, taking their capabilities into consideration. The purpose of the study is to develop a conceptual model of strategic planning for the sustainable development of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The methodological framework of the study are both general scientific methods and special methods. Specific regularities concerning the state of combat capability of the Armed Forces and the integrity of the process of strategic planning of the Armed Forces development are determined, which describe their influence on changes in the state of the Armed Forces in the future. The process of sustainable development of the military sphere, namely its influence on the Ukrainian society, is considered. Additional defined principles for forecasting the military power of the Armed Forces, consistency with the state strategic planning, partial openness of information and scientific substantiation are proposed, which are taken as a basis for hypothesising and developing rules for determining the development strategy of the Armed Forces.The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that the proposed conceptual model of strategic planning of the Armed Forces development, which is based on the provisions of legal acts on strategic and defense planning, takes the results of defence reform and defence review into consideration and provides for determining specific patterns and principles of choosing the development strategy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

In 1998 Miller, in his paper titled "The margins of accounting" observed that "By looking at the margins of accounting, we can understand how this influential body of expertise is formed and transformed" (Miller, 1998: 618). Drawing on this analogy, the boundaries of reporting and the ways these are defined and re-defined, as a consequence of the relationships organisations form with other entities from time to time, and their substantive nature provide insights about the business and its business model. Accordingly, an examination of reporting boundaries helps to better understand and appreciate the objective of an organisation, the logic that underlies its business model and how that is ‘reflected’ and communicated through the reporting entity’s financial statements - which may or may not align with the boundaries of the ‘organisation’. Despite the relevance of reporting boundaries as a critical aspect of the accounting discipline, it remains a relatively unexplored area in the literature. Accordingly, the aim of this work is to offer an initial overview on how the boundaries of reporting have (not) changed in response to the broadening scope of reporting to address both financial and ‘non-financial’ information (e.g. sustainability, governance and intangibles) and attempts to promote greater integration between both sets of information (IIRC, 2013). In particular, the analysis draws on the interpretative schemes of Zambon (1996) and Zambon and Zan (2000) and is combined with the concept of ‘transplantation’. The manner in which reporting boundaries are defined for both financial and non-financial reporting is investigated and compared. This comparison enables similarities and differences between the definition of the ‘reporting boundary’ to be problematised and explored for both financial and non-financial reporting.

In this article, the authors argue that, within the framework of the current information society and the development of Industry 4.0, a revolution hinges on a stock of skills on which adults in general - and adult workers in particular - need to be trained in order to be prepared for the change and improve their employability. Within these skills, we find computational and critical thinking (CCT) as two key skills for workers which are not being developed in adult education. In this contribution, we propose a conceptualisation of both kinds of thinking, associating them with the Problem Solving in Technology Rich Environments variable of the OECD PIAAC survey. This allows us to propose a CCT training methodology for adults based on Vanek’s (2017) work and to measure and analyse this relevant skill, making it easier to promote CCT teaching-learning in adult education courses.

Il content marketing (CM) è stato descritto, soprattutto in ambito professionale, come un nuovo approccio nella pratica della comunicazione di marketing in grado di raggiungere una serie di obiettivi specifici (coinvolgimento del cliente, brand awareness, ecc.). Nonostante la sua diffusione pervasiva nelle pratiche di business, poco è stato detto riguardo al suo significato teorico effettivo. Pertanto, il presente lavoro mira a esplorare le dimensioni chiave del CM. È stata sviluppata un’analisi Delphi di tipo predittivo coinvolgendo numerosi esperti nazionali e internazionali (sia accademici che professionisti), con l’obiettivo di delineare un quadro, per quanto possibile esaustivo, in merito alle determinanti, ai fattori costitutivi e agli effetti generati dall’adozione di tale approccio, oltre che per esaminare alcune eventuali barriere all’implementazione. Lo studio conferma il contributo potenziale del content marketing nel ridisegnare alcune tendenze nell’ambito della comunicazione di marketing. Il paper propone, inoltre, alcune implicazioni manageriali e offre un’agenda di ricerca per questo campo di studio emergente.

Literature shows that concern for personal reputation varies as a function of both individual and contextual factors, with entitativity of the group to which a person belongs emerging as a key antecedent of individual’s concern for personal reputation. The present research focuses on a further antecedent of the phenomenon, that is, accountability to the group. We presented participants with a high entitative ingroup and manipulated accountability (vs. anonymity) of their response to other ingroup members. Results showed that being accountable to the ingroup determines higher concern for personal reputation, and this relation is mediated by the fear of social exclusion.
