The paper aims to reflect on the training of teachers in Italian lower and upper secondary schools by presenting the training activities carried out by the Pegaso Telematic University in the provision of the training course foreseen by Ministerial Decree 180/2022. The first training activities focused on the training of the course tutors, while the second focused on the feedback given to the teachers who followed the course, following the development of the competence assessment. The aim of this paper is to reflect on the replicability of the training actions presented and the lines of research that open up.

The great potential of mobile learning devices hooks up these new contexts that are, above all, cultural and social, but also organisational and relational, forcing us to reconsider fundamental themes of pedagogical discourse. Among these themes, the first must be the construction of the student’s identity and, connected to this, the issue of personalised education. Let us consider, for instance, the by-now familiar distinction between formal, informal and non-formal. Compared with formal learning, we have always considered the two conditions of informal and non-formal education as independent or at least parallel, but essentially distinct and fundamentally different. In the moment in which teaching is done through mobility, and therefore with the effects of interference in contexts completely different from those that are somewhat predictable by the designer of distance learning, can we still think of a "distinction" between formal and informal or, at least, should we not assume a sort of context cross-breeding?

This review aims to understand how the body and the brain interact with different brain computer interfaces (BCI) and to analyze the implications of these tools on embodied learning in the educational field. Through a theoretical approach a review of the literature is developed by studying the relationship between the body, the brain and BCI. To conduct this research, the keywords “embodied learning”, “cognition”, “digital learning”, “body”, “brain-computer interface” were used in Pubmed, Frontiers, Google Scholar and Researchgate. There are multiple concepts related to digitization and they can vary from owning digital tools such as computers, phones, virtual reality devices to even using interventional BCI. BCI are being reported safe and are capable of reversing physical and cognitive disabilities. The impact of these tools is variable according to their nature, the environmental factors linked to their use, and the condition of the brain and body while using them. With the massive development of technology nowadays many interrogations are coming into surface about the relationship between the human and the machine, and at what level the digital world will be able to interfere with our lives and integrate our bodies.

Short chain fatty acid butyrate is a compound physiologically produced in human colon by resident flora fermentation of undigested carbohydrates. The multiple beneficial effects of butyrate on human health are well documented. Butyrate is able to modulate a wide range of processes like the ion transport, the maintenance of the intestinal barrier, the mucosa trophism and metabolism, the visceral perception and the intestinal motility. Some of these effects depend on the inhibition that butyrate exerts on the enzyme hystone deacetylase that in turn modulates gene expression for hundreds of genes. The global level of hystone acetylation is relevant for many common diseases including inflammation related diseases like obesity, diabetes mellitus, neurodegenerative diseases and cancer, as well as for some rare diseases such as mitochondrial diseases and lipodystrophies. Although butyrate represents a minor intermediate of fiber digestion, many evidences demonstrate that it has the stronger anti-inflammatory action among SCFAs. Here we focus on known targets and anti-inflammatory mechanisms of butyrate action and discuss the latest anti-inflammatory therapeutic strategies related to the use of this compound in human diseases. We also investigate about exercise effect on gut microbioma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
