No full textThe most popular method of training in basic life support and AED remains instructor-led training courses. Recent reviews provide good evidence to support alternative methods of training including lay instructors, self-directed learning (web, video, poster) and CPR feedback/prompt devices

Per una critica all’uso della ‘vulnerabilità’ nelle politiche su migrazione e asilo
No full textIn the current public debate on asylum and migration, there is a growing emphasis on the need to protect the most vulnerable - such as minors, pregnant women, LGBTQI people, people with disabilities and women victims of gender-based violence. In fact, the concept of ‘vulnerability’ is playing an increasingly central role in migration and international protection policies, first and foremost at borders and in protection claim procedures, but also in programmes for the resettlement or relocation of refugees in countries of the global South
La migrazione fa bene alle donne? Il nesso genere-migrazione e la riproduzione sociale in una prospettiva globale
No full textWhile contemporary global migrations are increasingly discussed through the concept of «feminization of migration», the present article proposes the concept of gender-migration nexus in order to explore how gender inequality is constitutive of migrations and simultaneously migrations may impact on gender. Drawing on sociological and feminist literature, and tackling the question of whether migrations may represent a transformative potential for women, we elaborate on the need to analyze migration in an intersectional perspective: indeed, besides gender, inequalities of race, class and nationality, significantly contribute to shape women's position in contemporary global migrations. This becomes clear when one takes into account the international division of reproductive labor, including domestic, care and sex labor, that are all subject to forms of increasing commodification in transnational markets
NEUROSCIENTIFIC PARADIGMS TO INVESTIGATE EMOTIONS IN MULTICOMPLEX SYSTEMS: FROM A "SINGLE-SUBJECT PERSPECTIVE" TO A "DOUBLE-SUBJECT PERSPECTIVE"
No full textLe emozioni sono state largamente indagate da discipline differenti che ne hanno evidenziato il ruolo fondamentale nei processi cognitivi, sociali e comportamentali degli individui.
Alla luce di queste evidenze, la presente tesi di dottorato si è proposta di indagare, attraverso l’utilizzo di un approccio multimetodologico caratterizzato dall’uso di elettroencefalografia (EEG), spettroscopia funzionale nel vicino infrarosso (fNIRS) e biofeedback, il ruolo e l’influenza delle emozioni in differenti contesti di vita sociale, passando da una prospettiva “intra-soggettiva” ad una “inter-soggettiva”. Nello specifico, il primo studio ha indagato i correlati neurofisiologici impliciti ed espliciti delle risposte emotive caratterizzanti la presa di decisione morale nel singolo individuo. Il secondo studio, attraverso l’utilizzo dell’hyperscanning, ha osservato i correlati neurofisiologici e i meccanismi di sintonizzazione cerebrale e periferica associati alle risposte emotive di individui interagenti durante uno scambio prosociale. Infine, il terzo studio ha investigato i correlati neurofisiologici e i meccanismi di sintonizzazione emotiva sottostanti un’interazione comunicativa non-verbale. In conclusione, i tre studi si sono proposti di osservare, adottando un livello crescente di complessità, da una prospettiva sul singolo individuo ad una diadica, come l’utilizzo di un approccio multimetodologico possa informare sui meccanismi impliciti ed espliciti delle risposte emotive durante differenti situazioni sociali.Emotions have been extensively investigated by different disciplines, highlighting their fundamental role in individuals’ cognitive, social and behavioral processes.
In light of this evidence, the present doctoral thesis aims to investigate, through the use of a multimetodological approach characterized by the use of electroencephalography (EEG), functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS), and biofeedback, the role and influence of emotions in different contexts of social life, passing from an “intra-subjective” to an “inter-subjective” perspective. Specifically, the first study has investigated the implicit and explicit neurophysiological correlates of emotional responses characterizing moral decision-making in single individuals. The second study, through the use of the hyperscanning paradigm, has observed the neurophysiological correlates and the brain and peripheral tuning mechanisms associated with emotional responses of interacting individuals during a prosocial exchange. Finally, the third study has investigated the neurophysiological correlates and emotional synthonization mechanisms underlying a non-verbal communicative interaction. In conclusion, the three studies set out to observe, adopting an increasing level of complexity, from a single individual to a dyadic perspective, how using a multimetodological approach can inform about the implicit and explicit mechanisms of emotional responses during different social situations
Le difficoltà emotive nello sviluppo: il caso dell’alessitimia e dell’autolesionismo. Dalla ricerca psicologica e neuroscientifica alla psicoterapia
No full textEmotional Developmental Disorders: The Case of Alexithymia and Self-harm. From Psychological and Neuroscientific Research to Psychotherapy - The paper examines the contribution that psychological and neuroscientific research on emotional developmental problems may offer for psychotherapy. Alexithymia – i.e. the inability to recognize and express one’s own emotions – and self-harm in adolescence are considered as examples of emotional problems. Starting from this analysis, we address some currently debated theoretical and methodological issues in psychotherapy
WHEN A CHILD MEETS A ROBOT: THE PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS THAT MAKE INTERACTION POSSIBLE
No full textLa presente tesi di dottorato, dal titolo When a child meets a robot: the psychological factors that
make interaction possible, vuole introdurre ed esplorare un campo abbastanza nuovo della ricerca psicologica che si occupa specificatamente dell’interazione bambino-robot, presentando le molteplici sfaccettature che la caratterizzano e i principali costrutti psicologici come la Teoria della Mente (ToM), la fiducia, la relazione di attaccamento, non tralasciando, inoltre, la valenza del design dei robot utilizzati nelle ricerche che hanno reso possibile questa tesi. I lavori di ricerca, qui presentati, vanno ad esplorare i costrutti sopra citati, indagandoli in profondità e con curiosità scientifica. Nel dettaglio, sono presentate le seguenti ricerche: 1) Shall I trust you? From Child-Robot Interaction To Trusting Relationship, 2) Can a robot lie? The role of false belief and intentionality understanding in children aged 5 and 6 years, 3) A robot is not worth another: exploring Children’s Mental State Attribution to Different Humanoid Robots, 4) Coding with me: exploring the effect of coding intervention on preschoolers’cognitive skills.
Infine, nell’ultimo capitolo, relativo alle conclusioni, viene sviluppata una riflessione teorica riguardante il ruolo rilevante assunto dallo sviluppo cognitivo dei bambini nei processi interazionali con gli agenti robotici.This PhD thesis, title When a child meets a robot: the psychological factors that make interaction possible, wants to introduce and explore a fairly new field of psychological research that specifically deals with the child-robot interaction, presenting the many facets that characterize it and the main psychological constructs such as the Theory of Mind (ToM), trust, attachment relationship, without neglecting, moreover, the value of the design of the robots used in the studies that have made this thesis possible. The research works, presented here, exploring the constructs mentioned above, investigating them in depth and with scientific curiosity. In detail, the following studies are presented: 1) Shall I trust you? From Child-Robot Interaction To Trusting Relationship, 2) Can a robot lie? The role of false belief and intentionality understanding in children aged 5 and 6 years, 3) A robot is not worth another: exploring Children’s Mental State Attribution to Different Humanoid Robots, 4) Coding with me: exploring the effect of a coding intervention on preschoolers’cognitive skills.
Finally, in the last chapter, concerning the conclusions, a theoretical reflection is developed regarding the relevant role assumed by children's cognitive development in interactional processes with robotic agents
