Download or read book Gender Diversity in European Sport Governance written by Agnes Elling and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender equality is one of the founding democratic principles of the EU. However, recent studies of the Federation of Olympic Sports in Europe have shown that women occupy only fourteen percent of decision-making positions in sport organizations. This book presents a comprehensive and comparative study of how various regions and countries of Europe have addressed this lack of gender diversity, discussing which strategies have brought about change and to what extent these changes have been successful. With contributions from leading sport sociologists, covering countries such as Germany, Hungary, Norway, Poland, Spain, Turkey and the UK, it provides a foundation for future policymaking, methodological analyses and theoretical developments that can result in sustainable gender equality in European sport governance. Gender Diversity in European Sport Governance is important reading for scholars and students in the fields of sociology of sport, sport management, sociology, gender studies and studies of organization, management and leadership. It is also a valuable resource for policy makers in the EU, as well as national sport organizations and activists.

Download or read book Evidence Based Public Health written by Ross C. Brownson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-12-03 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are at least three ways in which a public health program or policy may not reach stated goals for success: 1) Choosing an intervention approach whose effectiveness is not established in the scientific literature; 2) Selecting a potentially effective program or policy yet achieving only weak, incomplete implementation or "reach," thereby failing to attain objectives; 3) Conducting an inadequate or incorrect evaluation that results in a lack of generalizable knowledge on the effectiveness of a program or policy; and 4) Paying inadequate attention to adapting an intervention to the population and context of interest To enhance evidence-based practice, this book addresses all four possibilities and attempts to provide practical guidance on how to choose, carry out, and evaluate evidence-based programs and policies in public health settings. It also begins to address a fifth, overarching need for a highly trained public health workforce. This book deals not only with finding and using scientific evidence, but also with implementation and evaluation of interventions that generate new evidence on effectiveness. Because all these topics are broad and require multi-disciplinary skills and perspectives, each chapter covers the basic issues and provides multiple examples to illustrate important concepts. In addition, each chapter provides links to the diverse literature and selected websites for readers wanting more detailed information. An indispensable volume for professionals, students, and researchers in the public health sciences and preventative medicine, this new and updated edition of Evidence-Based Public Health aims to bridge research and evidence with policies and the practice of public health.

Download or read book Tecniche mentali per il potenziamento della prestazione sportiva written by Valentina Penati and published by Edizioni FerrariSinibaldi. This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lo sport riveste un ruolo fondamentale nella nostra vita. Per alcuni è un lavoro, per altri è una passione, per altri ancora è l'occasione per mettere alla prova se stessi e i propri limiti. In ciascuno di questi casi, oltre a un ovvio e buon allenamento, ciò che fa spesso la differenza è la preparazione mentale. Motivazione, resistenza psichica, capacità di gestire l'ansia da prestazione e orientamento all'obiettivo sono gli ingredienti necessari affinchè ciascun atleta possa aspirare a raggiungere i risultati che si è prefissato e derivare dalla pratica sportiva soddisfazione e appagamento. Nello sport “c’è tanta testa”, proprio perché l’attività sportiva richiede la costanza e l’impegno dell’allenamento, la capacità di tener duro di fronte alla fatica e ai sacrifici che comporta, la capacità di sopportare la pressione emotiva di una gara o dei giorni che la precedono. In questo libro l'autrice propone una ricca serie di tecniche mentali per il potenziamento della prestazione sportiva, illustrandone i principi di base, gli sport in cui risultano più utili e le modalità di applicazione. Un testo particolarmente utile non solo per gli atleti, ma anche per tutti quei professionisti che lavorano al servizio dell’atleta (allenatori, fisioterapisti, psicologi) che desiderano approfondire il tema della preparazione mentale e la sua importanza nella prestazione sportiva.

Download or read book The Ethical Sellout written by Lily Zheng and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all fear selling out. Yet we all face situations that test our ideals and values with no clear right answer. In a world where compromise is an essential aspect of life, authors Lily Zheng and Inge Hansen make the bold claim that everyone sells out-and that the real challenge lies in doing so ethically. Zheng and Hansen share stories from a diversity of people who have found their own answers to this dilemma and offer new ways to think about marginalization, privilege, and self-interest. From these stories, they pull out teachable skills for taking the step from selling out to selling out ethically. The Ethical Sellout is for all those committed to maintaining their integrity in a messy world.

Download or read book Retrotopia written by Zygmunt Bauman and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-03-06 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have long since lost our faith in the idea that human beings could achieve human happiness in some future ideal state—a state that Thomas More, writing five centuries ago, tied to a topos, a fixed place, a land, an island, a sovereign state under a wise and benevolent ruler. But while we have lost our faith in utopias of all hues, the human aspiration that made this vision so compelling has not died. Instead it is re-emerging today as a vision focused not on the future but on the past, not on a future-to-be-created but on an abandoned and undead past that we could call retrotopia. The emergence of retrotopia is interwoven with the deepening gulf between power and politics that is a defining feature of our contemporary liquid-modern world—the gulf between the ability to get things done and the capability of deciding what things need to be done, a capability once vested with the territorially sovereign state. This deepening gulf has rendered nation-states unable to deliver on their promises, giving rise to a widespread disenchantment with the idea that the future will improve the human condition and a mistrust in the ability of nation-states to make this happen. True to the utopian spirit, retrotopia derives its stimulus from the urge to rectify the failings of the present human condition—though now by resurrecting the failed and forgotten potentials of the past. Imagined aspects of the past, genuine or putative, serve as the main landmarks today in drawing the road-map to a better world. Having lost all faith in the idea of building an alternative society of the future, many turn instead to the grand ideas of the past, buried but not yet dead. Such is retrotopia, the contours of which are examined by Zygmunt Bauman in this sharp dissection of our contemporary romance with the past.

Download or read book A Dictionary of European Anglicisms written by Manfred Gorlach and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2005-06-16 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Dictionary of European Anglicisms documents the spread of English in Europe. It provides the first exhaustive and up-to-date account of British and American English words that have been imported into the main languages of Europe. English, which imported thousands of words from French and Latin (mainly after 1066), is now by far the world's biggest lexical exporter, and the trade is growing as English continues to dominate various fields ranging from pop music to electronic communication. Several countries have monitored the inflow of anglicisms and some have tried to block it. But language, as lexicographers have always found and as this book demonstrates once more, respects neither boundary nor law. The dictionary not only shows which words have been exported where, but how the process of importation can change a word's form and function, sometimes subtly, at others remarkably as in the transformation of painkiller to Bulgarian 'jack of all trades'. The book provides a systematic description of the lexical input of English into Icelandic, Norwegian, Dutch, German, Russian, Polish, Croatian, Bulgarian, French, Spanish, Italian, Romanian, Finnish, Hungarian, Albanian, and Greek. Each entry has a brief definition of the loan word, followed by information on its history and distribution; variations in its spelling, meaning, and pronunciation; its route of transmission if not direct from English; its degree of acceptance and usage restrictions; and its native equivalents and derivatives. Grids showing distribution patterns across Europe accompany many of the entries. The Dictionary of European Anglicisms is a scholarly tour de force [French: imported early nineteenth century] and the result of a prodigious research effort across Europe masterminded and directed by Manfred Gorlach. It is a unique resource for comparative analysis and the study of linguistic variation and change. It will fascinate linguists and word-watchers of all persuasions.

Download or read book The Anglicization of European Lexis written by Cristiano Furiassi and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2012-08-22 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the lexical influence of English on European languages, a topical theme with linguistic and cultural implications. It provides an extensive introductory background to a cross-national view of English-induced lexical borrowing, posing crucial analytical questions such as what counts as an Anglicism. It also offers a typology of borrowings with examples from the languages represented: Armenian, Danish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Serbian, Spanish, and Swedish. The articles in this volume address general and language-specific issues related to the analysis and collection of Anglicisms, extending the scope to the largely unexplored area of phraseology and bringing new insights into corpus-based and corpus-driven methodologies. This volume fits into a well-established and constantly developing research field and will appeal to scholars interested in the spread of English as an international language, contact and contrastive linguistics, lexicology and lexicography, and computer corpus lexicography.

Download or read book L arte del salto triplo written by Giorgio Merola and published by Edizioni Centro Studi Erickson. This book was released on 2023-10-18 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il volume offre un quadro completo degli aspetti psicologici legati all'attività sportiva: esperienze, riflessioni e strumenti di lavoro semplici e operativi per favorire la motivazione e la concentrazione. Alterna il linguaggio della teoria alle applicazioni pratiche alle esperienze dirette. Quanto il successo nello sport dipende dall'allenamento e quanto dalla motivazione e dall'autocontrollo? Se pratichi un'attività sportiva, che sia a livello agonistico o amatoriale, sai che dietro ogni movimento, dietro ogni progresso c'è una pratica lunga e impegnativa, fatta di allenamenti, tentativi, successi, delusioni, sudore e impegno. La ricerca del gesto perfetto non coinvolge né riguarda solo il corpo, ma anche la mente. Alla base di qualunque traguardo personale c'è la conoscenza di sé, che spinge a migliorarsi, e la resilienza, che permette di rialzarsi anche dopo una sconfitta. Per raggiungere i tuoi obiettivi non è sufficiente allenare il corpo: è indispensabile conoscere i circuiti mentali più insidiosi che possono compromettere i tuoi risultati, migliorare il senso di autoefficacia e di fiducia nelle tue abilità, imparare a controllare la tua energia e conoscere i tuoi limiti. L'arte del salto triplo si rivolge non solo ad atleti dilettanti e professionisti e allenatori, ma anche ai genitori che affiancano figli e figlie nella loro vita sportiva. Per soddisfare il proprio desiderio di miglioramento, i lettori troveranno, oltre a numerosi riferimenti all'esperienza di grandi sportivi, nuovi spunti di riflessione e strumenti di lavoro semplici e operativi (tecniche per gestire in modo efficace l'ansia e suggerimenti per favorire la motivazione e la concentrazione). In filigrana il saggio si legge come un ideale dialogo con Fabrizio Donato, bronzo olimpico, pluricampione europeo e primatista italiano di salto triplo.

Download or read book WHEN BRAINS COLLIDE written by Michael D. Lewis MD and published by Lioncrest Publishing. This book was released on 2016-09-24 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is nearly a 20% chance that you or someone close to you will suffer a concussion this year. Whether they are in a car accident, fall off their bike, or suffer a helmet-to-helmet hit at football practice, over 30% of such concussions will lead to long-term, potentially permanent disability. Even worse, many of these concussions are mild and go unnoticed and untreated. However, whether you are a concerned parent or an athlete worried about that recent or long-ago head injury, there is good news. The proper utilization of Omega-3 fatty acids and their nutritional potential to feed and cultivate the brain's biochemical environment can facilitate the concussion healing process, relieve symptoms without pharmaceuticals, and increase the chance for a happy and healthy future. Culminating a career spanning over three decades in the U.S. Army, Dr. Michael Lewis developed The Omega-3 Protocol, the military-grade brain injury treatment process for dealing with the concussive dangers of everyday life. Concussions are not always preventable, but they are treatable. Find out how to give yourself or your loved one the best chance at recovery from brain injuries-large or small-by learning everything about, and becoming ready to apply, The Omega-3 Protocol today.

Download or read book Primum non nocere written by Paolo Benini and published by PM edizioni. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questo libro nasce dalla mia esperienza sul campo e si rivolge agli allenatori e a tutti coloro che esercitano una leadership. Ho osservato molte volte come alle grandi competenze, strettamente tecniche, non faccia seguito un’altrettanto valida capacità nella gestione dell’atleta e come manchino alcune fondamentali conoscenze di base sui meccanismi di funzionamento umano. Molti allenatori che ho conosciuto erano involontariamente nocivi per gli atleti che, a loro volta, proprio per questo motivo unito ad una loro fragilità, si sono “persi per strada”. Questo testo è stato scritto nella maniera più semplice possibile, ma essere un grande leader o un grande allenatore non è una cosa facile ed occorre essere molto competenti. Il primo aspetto da comprendere è che un individuo aumenta il suo livello prestativo anche migliorando la conoscenza e la gestione di sé, e un allenatore che vuole definirsi di livello ha anche il compito di stimolare e sostenere questo percorso con gli strumenti giusti e le modalità adeguate. Tengo molto alla breve parte sulla filosofia, con cui sono certo di far capire come lo sport sia strumento di conoscenza di sé, e come questa, a sua volta, si riversi sul proprio sport. Concludo sottolineando che il modello sportivo è e deve essere esportato non solo a tutti i livelli di sport, ma in ogni ambito di vita, in quanto fornire la nostra miglior prestazione deve essere l’obiettivo di ciascuno di noi.
