MATERNAL PRENATAL ATTACHMENT: A STUDY ON RELATIONAL PROTECTIVE FACTORS
No full textLiterature has widely verified that the quality of prenatal attachment significantly influences mother’s and newborn’swell-being (Tani et al., 2017a,b; Walsh et al., 2014; Laxton-Kane & Shade, 2002).The aim of this study was to analyze the protective relational factors of prenatal attachment by exploring the role that the social support mothers perceive during pregnancy and the quality of their relationships with their own parents and partners plays in influencing the maternal prenatal attachment to child.
161 women (Mage = 31.63, SD = 4.88) at 31-32 week of gestation were recruited for the present study.
The Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI, Parker et al., 1979;Bonaiuto et al., 1997) was used to assess the quality of women’s relationships with their mothers and fathers.
The Romance Qualities Scale (RQS; Ponti et al., 2010) was employed to measure the quality of the women’s romantic relationships.
The Maternal Social Support Scale (MSSS, Webster et al., 2000;Dabrassi et al., 2009) was used to assess the maternal perceived social support.
Finally, the Prenatal Attachment Inventory (PAI, Müller, 1993;Della Vedova et al., 2008) was used to measure the mother’s attachment bond to her unborn child.
A linear regression analysis was conducted with prenatal attachment as the dependent variable, and maternal social support and relationships with mother, father and partner as predictors.
In line with previous studies, the perceived social support during pregnancy (Doan & Zimermann, 2008; Tani et al., 2017a) and quality of couple relationship (Barone et al., 2014; Walsh et al., 2014) positively affect prenatal attachment to the unborn child. On the contrary, the quality of mothers’ relationships with their parents was not a significant predictor of their prenatal attachment.
In conclusion, perceiving support from their social network and having a good couple relationship during pregnancy enhance feelings of well-being, fostering a good prenatal attachment bond

Quadrature Rules in the Isogeometric Galerkin Method: State of the Art and an Introduction to Weighted Quadrature
No full textIn this paper we introduce the quadrature needed in the IsoGeometric
Galekin method. Quadrature rules affect the cost of the assembly of the discrete
counterpart of the IgA method, so that the search for efficient quadrature is an active
research topic. The focus of the first part is on a brief survey on the contributions
available for the reduction of computational costs for such issue. We review the
Generalized gaussian strategies and the reduced quadrature introduced. Then we
present the novelty of weighted quadrature, recently proposed by Calabro, Sangalli `
and Tani for the efficient assembly. We detail the construction of such rules and
give some examples. Finally we end with some remark on current work and further
developments
Interview with Karen Tani, author, State of Dependency: Welfare, Rights, and American Governance, 1935-1972
No full textWhat new can there be to say about the New Deal? Perhaps more than you think. Join us as Karen Tani talks about her new book, States of Dependency: Welfare, Rights and American Governance, 1935-1972 (Cambridge University Press, 2016), which examines the ways in which the rights talk we typically associate with the 1960s might be traced back to New Deal Administrators who, through programs like the ADC, simultaneously reshaped federal state relations and created new incentives for the professionalization of state bureaucracies
Do communication patterns predict the psychological abuse in young adults romantic relationships?
No full textThe aim of the study was to investigate the link between different communication patterns and psychological abuse among young adults romantic relationships. Specifically, the research was aimed at analyzing the direct relation between efficacious, avoidant, dismissive and manipulative communicative patterns and both reported victimized and perpetrated behaviors of psychological abuse within the couple. Participants were 557 young adults (211 males), aged between 18-30 years (M = 22.61; DS = 3.85), currently involved in a heterosexual romantic relationship of at least 6 months duration. Results showed that the most important predictors of perpetration and victimization reports of psychological abuse are the Dismissal and Manipulation communication patterns, whereas Avoidance is not a significant predictor of psychological abuse. Theoretical and social implications and directions for future research are identified
Paradigmi. numero monografico su Lingua, identità, cittadinanza
No full textLa teoria politica ha da tempo messo l’accento sulla complessità del concetto di cittadinanza. La prospettiva dello stato nazionale ci ha abituato a considerare la lingua, o meglio il suo modello standardizzato, al tempo stesso come rappresentazione e strumento primario del legame sociale, e cioè come uno dei principali fattori di costruzione di quella forma di identità che Alaine Touraine e poi Manuel Castells hanno definito legittimante.
Il processo di indebolimento di questo modello di cittadinanza, che ha dominato la politica europea degli ultimi due secoli, ad opera delle due forze speculari che oggi si contendono lo spazio sociale e politico, quella della globalizzazione, da un lato, e quella della reazione localistica e particolaristica, dall’altro, ha consentito l’emergere di una più diffusa consapevolezza circa la necessità di tenere separato il discorso sulla cittadinanza da quello sulle nazionalità. Ma ha anche risvegliato un nuovo interesse per le lingue come simboli e strumenti di forme di identità difensive e resistenziali rispetto alla pervasività di forze omologanti legate ai processi socio-economici globali. In particolare le questioni linguistiche sono divenute un decisivo banco di prova per la messa a fuoco del rapporto tra diritti umani e diritti di cittadinanza.
I contributi raccolti nel fascicolo discutono questo complesso insieme di questioni da diverse angolature: T. De Mauro si interroga sul significato del termine “identità” nella ricerca linguistica; P. Sériot si sofferma sull’ambiguità concettuale e terminologica legata al termine "nazione" e alla sua delimitazione rispetto ai termini contigui nazionalità, stato, cittadinanza; J. Trabant discute la fondamentale antinomia tra funzione simbolico-espressiva e funzione comunicativo-strumentale della lingua in relazione alla storia degli stati nazionali europei degli ultimi due secoli; I. Tani porta allo scoperto le differenti concezioni del linguaggio che influenzano la riflessione contemporanea sui diritti e le politiche della cittadinanza; J. E. Joseph analizza alcuni aspetti del dibattito contemporaneo sullo statuto dei diritti linguistici in relazione al problema del rapporto individuo-gruppo; P. Nanz si sofferma sulla questione della cittadinanza europea dal punto di vista normativo-legislativo, a partire dagli obiettivi del Trattato di Maastricht (1992) fino al ruolo della Corte di giustizia europea; J. Boutet esamina le conseguenze in termini di diseguaglianza sociale della diseguaglianza linguistica degli immigrati nel contesto francese, fortemente caratterizzato dal monolinguismo; M. Barni, infine, discute l’orientamento delle normative che regolamentano in Italia la concessione del permesso di soggiorno subordinandolo alla competenza linguistico-comunicativa
