Il modello alternativo dei disturbi di personalitá nel DSM-5 e le sue implicazioni per la perizia in ambito canonico
No full textThe present paper is aimed at illustrating the alternative model of personality disorders (PD), included in the DSM-5
system, with a series of possible implications for the expert report in the canon law field. In order to do this, the DSMIV
TR diagnostic system with its limits as well as the new criterions of DSM-5 alternative model of PD were
systematically presented and articulated. In particular, a series of new proposals, included in the alternative model, were
illustrated and critically evaluated, clarifying their role for the improvement of DSM-IV TR unresolved questions, such
as the excessive comorbidity of PD categories, the high heterogeneity of individuals with the same PD diagnosis, the
obsolete approach to diagnostic thresholds, the temporal instability of diagnoses, the narrow range of personality
psychopathology considered and the lack of a theoretical model, empirically founded, that is able to support the
criterions. Improvements that DSM-5 alternative model may involve for the expert report in the canon law field,
especially regarding the link between diagnostic label and legal incapacity, are discussed
Prevenzione delle complicanze nella traumatologia dentale del paziente in crescita
No full textObiettivi: Lo scopo del lavoro e` diffondere le esatte procedure da eseguire in urgenza in seguito a trauma dentale nel paziente pedia- trico.
Materiali e metodi: E` stata condotta una revisione della letteratura riguardante la gestione dei traumi dentali, con la valutazione delle conoscenze da parte di personale sanitario e non; inoltre, e` stata eseguita un’indagine territoriale attraverso la distribuzione di un questionario a mamme di bambini tra 0 e 15 anni. Sulla base dei risultati ottenuti e` stato realizzato un pieghevole informativo conte- nente linee guida sulla gestione dei traumi dentali.
Risultati: La maggior parte dei genitori non conosce le corrette procedure da eseguire in seguito a un trauma dentale del bambino. Conclusioni: Una corretta informazione, attraverso un pieghevole informativo di facile comprensione e dai costi contenuti, funge da prevenzione nella gestione delle complicanze

EVALUATION OF EXTREME SEA STATES BY INTEGRATING EXPERIMENTAL DATA WITH THE RESULTS OF WEATHER AND WAVE MODELS
No full textAn essential tool of engineering is the estimation of the probability of of natural events, such as rainfall, river flow or - in the case of offshore or coastal structures – the sea state. This estimate is normally carried out by adapt-ing suitable theoretical frequency distributions to the extreme values to the data series. In the case of marine struc-tures, the most important parameter is the significant wave height (SWH), whose values are generally provided by wave meters in situ (buoys, or sometimes pressure gauges, pole, or platform gauges) and more recently by satellite altimetry data. There are however relatively few sites where wave meters are present, and even fewer have been kept and monitored long enough to provide reliable time series.
Over the past 25 years, many state and international meteorological centres, as well as some research insti-tutes and private companies have begun to systematically run global and regional wave generation and propaga-tion models. These models are in turn driven by meteorological forecasting systems and constantly validated through the acquisition ('assimilation') of measured data. Both forecast and analysis are published almost in real time, thus providing long time series of "synthetic data" which are today the main source of information for statis-tical analyses, to the point that the use of such data has now become a commonplace. However, the estimation of extreme SWH values for high return times through synthetic data raises several questions: apart from the obvious problem of reliability of the modelling chains, an important aspect is the way through which the wave data measured in situ are assimilated into the analysis. Most of the assimilation procedures are based on satellite alti-metric data, which are scattered in time (at intervals of many hours) and distant in space (tens or hundreds of kil-ometers); the extreme SWH values are thus often missed. Furthermore, the sampling time of the models, i.e. the time interval in which the data are stored and released, is often longer than the standard sampling time of the buoys, which causes a negative distortion of the estimated extreme values (Arena et al., 2013; Reale et al., 2014; Dentale et al. 2016).
In order to overcome these problems, a procedure has been proposed by some of the Authors of this work (Dentale et al 2018, 2020) according to which the extreme SWH curves as a function of the return time TR (herein-after: SWH (TR)) resulting from the synthetic data are compared and calibrated with similar curves calculated from the buoy data. This document presents an extension of this technique
I valori e il modello di Schwartz
No full textL’obiettivo di questo capitolo è, in primo luogo, quello di fornire un’introduzione generale al tema dei valori. Successivamente verranno presentate le teorie di Milton Rokeach e Shalom Schwartz, che occupano una posizione centrale nel panorama internazionale sul tema dei valori. Prenderemo in considerazione soprattutto la tassonomia di Schwartz, descrivendo le caratteristiche del modello e alcune sue applicazioni pratiche
Inconscio. Fra ricerca clinica e scienza cognitiva
No full textQuella dell'inconscio rappresenta una delle scoperte più straordinarie avvenute nell'epoca moderna: la nascita della prospettiva psicodinamica della mente ha rivoluzionato la concezione tradizionale dell'uomo, inteso come essere pensante, presente a se stesso e dotato di libero arbitrio. Oggi l'inconscio viene studiato con metodologie e tecniche scientifiche sempre più sofisticate, inserite in quadri teorici sempre più distanti dalle originarie suggestioni di matrice psicodinamica, in relazione ad ambiti disciplinari differenti (dalla filosofia della mente alla psicologia cognitiva, dalla psicologia clinica alla psicologia sociale e alla neurobiologia). Questo volume, partendo dalle diverse tradizioni di ricerca e dai loro riflessi applicativi, fornisce una approfondita analisi del concetto di inconscio: le definizioni di coscienza e inconscio; gli studi sperimentali; le concezioni cliniche dell'inconscio; la classificazione dei processi mentali impliciti; il ruolo delle interazioni fra coscienza e inconscio, e fra emozione e cognizione, nella determinazione del comportamento normale e patologico
Do antenatal maternal and paternal depression levels affect emotional availability during mother-child and father-child interactions?
No full textThis study determined the predictive value of antenatal maternal and paternal depressive symptoms in emotional availability (EA) during mother-child and father-child interactions. A self-reported measure of depression was administered to 50 couples of primiparous parents during the seventh/eighth month of pregnancy, and an observational system was applied to assess parent-child EA when the children were aged 7 and 9 months. To disentangle the contributions from the mother and fathers, 2 moderated regression models were tested separately for maternal and paternal EA, with maternal and paternal depressive symptoms and their interaction as predictors and the partners’ EA and age as controls. In the first model, maternal depressive symptoms (beta = -.32, p = .01) and paternal EA (beta = .57, p <.01) had a significant effect, and there was a significant interaction between maternal and paternal depressive symptoms (beta = -.24, p = .03). No significant effects emerged for paternal depressive symptoms or maternal age. A simple-slope analysis of the interaction showed that for high levels of depression in fathers (+1 SD), the relationship between maternal depressive symptoms and maternal EA was negative and significant (r = -.56, p = .005), whereas for low levels (-1 SD), this relationship tended to dissipate. Regarding the second model, no significant effects were found for maternal or paternal depressive symptoms or their interaction. Overall, the results suggest that high levels of maternal depressive symptoms during pregnancy impairs the development of adequate maternal EA. This risk increases when maternal and paternal depressive symptoms are high, implicating the importance of the relationship between parents. These effects were not observed for paternal EA
Wave orbital velocity effects on radar Doppler altimeter for sea monitoring
No full textThe orbital velocity of sea wave particles affects the value of sea surface parameters as measured by radar Doppler altimeters (also known as delay Doppler altimeter (DDA). In DDA systems, the along-track resolution is attained by algorithms that take into account the Doppler shift induced by the component along the Earth/antenna direction of the satellite velocity, VS. Since the vertical component of the wave particle orbital velocity also induces an additional Doppler effect (in the following R-effect), an error arises on the positioning of the target on the sea surface. A numerical investigation shows that when the wavelength of sea waves is of the same order of magnitude of the altimeter resolution, the shape of the waveform might be significantly influenced by the R-effect. The phenomenon can be particularly important for the monitoring of long swells, such as those that often take place in the oceans
