2021 Dataset on local gambling regulations in Italy
Get PDFThe dataset provides the data on gambling policies accessible in online and offline resources. The regulations are those implemented by Italian Municipalities between 2003 and 2021. The data set comprise the information collected by the documentation mapped and retrieved from the “Mapping of local gambling initiatives in Italy” (Baratin, et al. 2022), the personal archive of Dr Paolo Jarre and of Prof Marco Pedroni (both accessed in march 2021)
The following variables are available: Municipality ISTAT Code (ID), Municipality Name (Name) Province, Region, Major’s party, Majority coalition, Title of the measure, and a series of variables identifying the type of rulings adopted (“regolamento”, “ordinanza” and “delibera”), the topics covered, the year of approval. Additional variables describe the restrains placed upon zoning and timing for arcades or electronic gambling machines (EGM).
Overall, the dataset comprises 2097 specific regulations

Magnitude shifts spatial attention from left to right in young rhesus monkeys
No full textHumans represent numbers and quantities as increasingly orientated from left to right. Traditionally, these associations were considered cultural by-products. Recent comparative and developmental evidence challenged this idea. Newborns and animals have shown spatial-numerical association, but evidence on spatial-quantity association and the link between discrete and continuous magnitudes is sparce.
Here, we explore whether the magnitude could shift the spatial bias from left to right in young rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta). We designed a touch-screen task which required to remember and select a dot on which a target stimulus appeared. At test, monkeys faced arrays of 2, 4, 6 or 10 dots and maintained high performance through changes in arrays’ location, spacing and length. Remarkably, facing 2-dot arrays monkeys remembered better the left target; facing 6- or 10-dot arrays they remembered better the right targets. In a continuous transfer test, in which the array of dots was replaced with a long bar, they still remember better the right than left locations.
Our results demonstrate that rhesus macaques transfer a learned rule from discrete to continuous magnitudes, proving that in animals the association with space is not limited to numbers but comprises other magnitudes, like in humans
Second line tests in the differential diagnosis of neoplastic and non-neoplastic hypercortisolism: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Get PDFIntroduction: The clinical and hormonal overlap between neoplastic (CS) and non-neoplastic (NNH/pCS) hypercortisolism is a well-known challenge. The gold standard for the diagnosis of NNH/pCS is the resolution/lack of progression of the hypercortisolism over an adequate follow-up period. Various dynamic tests have been proposed to allow an early discrimination between these conditions, but to date there is no agreement on which of them should be used.
Aim: To provide an overview of the available tests and to obtain a quantitative synthesis of their diagnostic performance in discriminating NNH/pCS from CS.
Methods: An extensive search in Ovid (including Cochrane, Medline and Embase databases) was performed for articles published between 1990 and 2022. The included articles applied one or more second-line tests to differentiate NNH/pCS from CS patients. For the NNH/pCS group, we admitted the inclusion of patients presenting clinical features and/or biochemical findings suggestive of hypercortisolism despite apparent lack of a pCS-related condition.
Results: The electronic search identified 339 articles. After references analysis and study selection, we identified 9 studies on combined dexamethasone-corticotropin releasing hormone (Dex-CRH) test, 4 on Desmopressin test and 3 on CRH test; no study on Dex-Desmopressin met the inclusion criteria. Dex-CRH test provided the highest sensitivity (97%, 95CI% [88%; 99%]). CRH tests showed excellent specificity (99%, 95%CI [0%; 100%]), but its sensitivity was lacking. Although metaregression analysis based on diagnostic odds ratio failed to provide a gold standard, CRH test (64.77, 95%CI [0.15; 27174.73]) seemed to lack in performance compared to the others (Dex-CRH 138.83, 95%CI [49.38; 390.32] and Desmopressin 110.44, 95%CI [32.13; 379.63]).
Discussion: Both Dex-CRH and Desmopressin tests are valid tools in discriminating NNH/pCS from CS patients, with the first probably achieving slightly better performance and the latter being more suitable for clinical practice. We do not recommend CRH test alone in this setting, although its combination with other tests could be further researched. Further studies are needed on this topic, possibly focusing on mild Cushing’s Disease and clinically well-characterized NNH/pCS patients
Data for: Characterisation and analysis of transverse crack-induced delamination in cross-ply composite laminates under fatigue loadings
No full textThe delamination growth represents one of the main phenomena involved in the fatigue damage evolution in composite laminates. With the aim of characterising qualitatively and quantitatively this mechanism and its interaction with the other damage modes occurring during the fatigue life, an experimental campaign was carried out on glass/epoxy infused laminates. Two lay-ups were adopted, namely [02/904]s and [0/902]s. The damage evolution was characterised at the macro and micro-scales. The adopted macro-scale damage indicators were the laminate stiffness drop, the crack density and the delamination ratio, of which the evolution along with the fatigue cycles is shown. Damage evolution and final failure were seen to be sensitive to scale effect. Micro-scale edge observations were useful to understand the interaction between transverse cracks, delamination and fibre failure, all these mechanisms concurring in the laminate final failure
