Abstract: Biopsychosocial frailty, a new construct combining modifiable physical, psychological, and social domains, was associated with increased risk of dementia, mild cognitive impairment, and their subtypes. The aim of the present study was to estimate the role of biopsychosocial frailty on the incident risk of cardio- and cerebrovascular disease, i.e., myocardial infarction, peripheral artery disease (PAD), and definite stroke. From the eight municipalities of the population-based Italian Longitudinal Study on Aging, we examined 2410 older individuals in a longitudinal analysis with an 8-year follow-up. Biopsychosocial frailty operationalization was based on the results of a previous comprehensive geriatric assessment and the presence of physical frailty. Generalized estimating equation models assessed the independent contribution at three different follow-ups of baseline individuals with biopsychosocial frailty on occurring new events of myocardial infarction, PAD, and stroke. The prevalence of biopsychosocial frailty in older individuals with myocardial infarction was 10.9%, in older subjects with PAD was 8.9%, and in older individuals with definite stroke was 23.7%. After 8 years of follow-up, participants with biopsychosocial frailty showed an increased odds ratio (OR) of definite stroke [OR 2.67; 95% confidence interval 1.11–6.40]. No statistically significant associations between biopsychosocial frailty and myocardial infarction or PAD were observed. Over an 8-year follow-up, in a large, older cohort, a biopsychosocial frailty phenotype was associated with incident cerebrovascular disease, in particular with definite stroke. This complex phenotype of frailty has several modifiable components and could be an optimal target for potential interventions and prevention strategies. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10807/334178 Titolo: Spazi che formano.

Processi formativi e professionalizzazione nei contesti organizzativi Autori: Sofia Carboni Abstract: L’articolo esplora il “rovesciamento” in atto tra scuola e lavoro: la scuola, segnata da quella che Gert Biesta ha definito learnification, ha progressivamente ridotto la propria funzione educativa, mentre il lavoro contemporaneo si configura sempre più come spazio di riflessione, oricerca di senso e costruzione identitaria (soggettivazione, cfr. Biesta). In questo scenario il corporate learning può essere inteso come fenomeno pedagogico in cui pratiche riflessive e relazionali generano una “educazione dal basso”, capace di accogliere domande esistenziali e realizzative nei contesti organizzativi. Collocata entro la pedagogia del lavoro e ispirata al pensiero di G. Biesta, l’analisi propone una lettura critica del rapporto tra formazione e soggettivazione, riconoscendo nel lavoro contemporaneo un laboratorio culturale in cui l’educare si ridefinisce come pratica condivisa di significazione, responsabilità e crescita professionale. 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10807/334176 Titolo: Editorial: Discourse, conversation and argumentation: theoretical perspectives and innovative empirical studies, volume IV Autori: Bova, Antonio; Arcidiacono, Francesco; Galimberti, Carlo; Haddouk, Lise Abstract: Despite the central role of discourse, conversation, and argumentation in social life, psychological research still lacks a unified framework for understanding these communicative phenomena across contexts, methods, and theoretical traditions. Investigations of language use, dialogic interactions, and argumentative processes continue to develop within partially separate research communities, often limiting the possibility of a systematic interdisciplinary exchange. This fourth volume of the Research Topic “Discourse, conversation and argumentation: theoretical perspectives and innovative empirical studies” aims to further bridge this divide by bringing together innovative contributions that examine communicative practices from a broad psychological and socio-discursive perspective. The papers collected in this Research Topic explore the place of discourse within institutional, educational, interpersonal, media, and intercultural contexts, while also advancing a methodological reflection through corpora analyses, meta-analyses, comparative discourse analyses, stories completion, and functional linguistic approaches. Taken together, the contributions presented in this volume demonstrate the vitality and diversity of contemporary research on communication: they show how discourse and interaction are deeply implicated in the construction of identities, values, institutional positions, epistemic stances, and moral responsibilities. At the same time, they reveal how communicative practices are shaped by historical changes, cultural contexts, technological environments, and shifting social norms. By assembling studies that range from media representations and diplomatic discourses to educational dialogues, research writings, executive identities, and digital subtitlings, this volume offers a rich and multifaceted account of the psychological significance of language in use. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z
