Master's Thesis from the year 2011 in the subject Physical Therapy / Occupational Therapy, grade: -, Atlantic International University (School: Science and Engineering), language: Portugues, abstract: Cada molecula, celula viva do corpo humano e objeto e composto de energia que se manifesta como materia fisica. A energia e detectavel atraves de frequencias em uma ou mais faixas de radiacao no espectro eletromagnetico. E essas frequencias correspondem aos processos bioquimicos e biologicos no corpo. Com terapias de electromedicina, a cura e alcancada ao trabalhar com a radiacao eletromagnetica (emissoes), com a energia que se forma, e que e emitida para a materia fisica. O estudo dos efeitos terapeuticos dos campos magneticos levantou a possibilidade do emprego e producao, atraves de correntes de baixa frequencia, em contraste com a alta-frequencia que provoca um campo magnetico muito mais intenso do que a electrica. Os primeiros testes foram muito encorajadores, e experiencias biologicas funcionaram logo na aplicacao clinica. No campo crescente da "medicina energetica" e bem sabido que o nosso universo e criado por meio de padroes de frequencia. A ciencia agora esta documentando o que os misticos de muitas tradicoes ja sabiam. Tudo o que existe no plano fisico, mental, emocional e espiritual tem uma base vibratoria, se considerar-mos que os electrons estao sempre em movimento e vibracao. Todas as intervencoes de cura vai influenciar o corpo de alguma forma e alterar a sua frequencia de ressonancia. A cura tem sido frequentemente afectadas por modalidades, tais como som, luz, musicoterapia e varias outras tecnicas de medicina da energia que alteram os padroes de frequencia de um individuo. Toda a materia, incluindo plantas aromaticas, produtos farmaceuticos, alimentos e ate mesmo vitaminas, minerais e outros nutrientes podem ser examinados a partir de uma perspectiva de frequencia que pode explicar os seus efeitos biologicos.

Questi "Elementi di psicolinguistica generale" mirano a dare una visione globale dell'elaborazione dell'informazione linguistica. Dopo un primo capitolo introduttivo in cui vengono fissati i concetti chiave, nei capitoli successivi vengono descritti i livelli dell'elaborazione linguistica (nell'ordine, il livello fonetico, fonologico, morfologico, sintattico, semantico, pragmatico e testuale). Scritto con uno stile semplice ma preciso, ricco di esempi e di schede riassuntive, questo libro si pone come un valido ausilio per la didattica della linguistica generale sia in ambiti umanistici che in ambiti piu tecnici. L'integrazione dei dati della linguistica generale con quelli della ricerca psicolinguistica e neurolinguistica renderanno piu completa la preparazione di coloro, come per esempio i logopedisti, che devono utilizzare le proprie conoscenze linguistiche a fini riabilitativi.
