The link between psoriasis and sport is a controversial issue. The topic has been poorly investigated, and nowadays there are many unsolved questions, dealing with the role of psoriasis in influencing the sporting habits of patients and, vice versa, the impact of sport activity on course, severity and extent of the disease, with particular regard to the indirect benefits on cardiovascular risk and metabolic syndrome. Moreover, the role of physical activity on patients’ quality of life and the potential limitations on physical activity due to joint involvement have not been well elucidated until now. In this narrative review we will try to provide answers to these queries.

The role of physical strain, psychosocial and psychological factors in relation to temporary and long-lasting lower back pain and sick leave in an occupational setting The role of physical strain, psychosocial and psychological factors in relation to temporary and long-lasting lower back pain and sick leave in an occupational setting Ellen Wijnen, Els Gheldof, J. Bart Staal & Jan Vinck, Gedrag & Organisatie, Volume 18, February 2005, nr. 1, pp. 32-46 This cross-sectional study examines a number of work related physical, psychosocial and psychological correlates of temporary and long-lasting lower back pain and sick leave among 712 employees of a Belgian metallurgical plant. Associations have been studied through multiple logistic regressions, while controlling for relevant confounders. The main conclusion is that physical strain is related to temporary lower back pain, and that physical strain and psychosocial factors such as job demands, power of decision and social support are associated with long-lasting lower back pain. A remarkable finding is that a lack of power of decision and a high level of fear of movement are significantly related to sick leave. Finally, the results show that the variables psychological job demands and power of decision clearly interact in their effect on sick leave.

Nowadays, the important role of the sport in our society is undeniable. From the Physical Education point of view, we must take its values and we must transmit them to our pupils. Let us think that it is not sufficient with presenting sports at school, but it must have a direct transference that affects our pupils’ free time transforming it into an active leisure, because the Physical Education has the purpose to achieve the integral education of the pupils. In this sense, it seems necessary to form good spectators to be critics with which they see and that they value the principles of all sport activity and to appreciate the different sport manifestations they attend, contributing to form different opinions to achieve an integral education. The mass media, and particularly the television, present a set of values that turn around several axes (exit, competition, consumption, possessiveness). The television must have the purpose of entertaining, of informing and of educating; but if we compared the values that arise from the sport competitions emitted on television with the values that we tried to promote at schools, we could question ourselves if they are at the same level, or, on the contrary, they aim in opposite ways. The sport activity occupies an important role in the leisure of the young people, on the one hand as a sport practice and, on a second hand, as spectators of sport events. From our subject, we want to contribute providing a meaningfulness to these activities for our students and, to reach, as Pierre de Couvertin said that all the sports were for everybody, pleading for a global sport in which any limit of age, physical condition, sex… En los tiempos que corren es innegable el papel que juega el deporte como gran agente social en nuestra sociedad. Desde el área de Educación Física debemos utilizar los valores tan extraordinariamente importantes que nos aporta y que de una manera decidida tenemos que transmitir a nuestro alumnado. Consideramos que no es suficiente con dar a conocer los deportes en el ámbito educativo; no parece suficiente con que trabajemos para que hagan deporte, sino que éste tenga una transferencia directa que incida en su tiempo libre transformándolo en un ocio activo, ya que la Educación Física, como área del currículum escolar, tiene como finalidad posibilitar la formación integral del alumnado, desarrollando todas las capacidades del ser humano. En este sentido, parece necesario conseguir buenos espectadores, que sean críticos con lo que ven y que valoren los principios de toda actividad deportiva y sepan apreciar desde una perspectiva crítica las diferentes manifestaciones a las que asisten como espectadores, aportando opiniones fundamentadas que contribuyan de alguna manera a su formación integral. Señala Cagigal que todo deporte organizado para el ocio y para la educación, como el espontáneo de cualquier movimiento popular es cada vez más, otra realidad distinta del deporte espectáculo. Por tanto, debemos ser conscientes de que no sólo es deporte el que sale en la televisión, sino mucho más, y nosotros desde estas líneas queremos mostrar algunas ideas encaminadas a desarrollar ese espíritu crítico en nuestro alumnado. Somos conscientes que desde los medios de comunicación, en general, y de la televisión, en particular, se desprende una jerarquía de valores que giran en torno a una serie de ejes (éxito, competencia, consumo, posesividad...). Aunque sabemos que la televisión debe tener la triple finalidad de entretener, informar y educar, si nos detenemos a analizar los valores que emanan de las competiciones deportivas emitidas por televisión y los valores que intentamos proporcionar, propiciar y potenciar desde los centros educativos, podríamos cuestionarnos si están en la misma línea, con el mismo frente común o, por el contrario, apuntan en sentidos opuestos. Como señalan los estudios al respecto, la actividad deportiva ocupa un lugar preponderante en lo que es el ocio activo de nuestros jóvenes, por una parte como práctica deportiva y, por otra, como espectadores de eventos deportivos. Por lo tanto, desde nuestra asignatura queremos contribuir a que estas actividades sean lo más significativas posible entre nuestro alumnado y, en definitiva, conseguir como señalaba el barón Pierre de Couvertin, que todos los deportes sean para todos, abogando por un deporte globalizador en el que no existan límites de edad, condición física, sexo…

In today’s global economic turmoil, organizations are challenged every day to stay not only in competition but also ahead, for the sake of its stakeholders. It is the leaders of an organization who spearhead the changes and handle contingent situations. After the leaders, the employees are the core strength of an organization. The top management invest a lot to ensure a contented workforce. Employees in all levels, give importance to the way they are being treated- with respect and dignity. They demand that the compensation and remuneration they receive are justified and deserving. If there is a conflict of these situations, then an employee is under undue stress to perform better, even when not satisfied with the workplace- leading to emotional exhaustion, cynicism, feeling unaccomplished and physical strain. In short, the employee experiences burnout. In this research study, two leadership styles- authentic leadership and transformational leadership are analyzed with respect to their influence on an employee’s perception about organizational justice and the burnout experienced. The impact of these leadership styles in ensuring a positive perception of organizational justice in employees is studied along with their influence in reducing employee burnout. The role of organizational justice is studied in a mediating capacity.
