Personality profiles and problematic internet use in a sample of Italian adolescents
No full textObjective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between specific personality profiles and Internet use in a sample of Italian adolescents. Method: Four hundred thirty-two adolescents (58.3% males) with an average age of 14.41 years (SD=.95) were enrolled in the study. Participants were administered the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) and the Minnesota Multiphasic Inventory - Adolescent Form (MMPI-A). A two-step cluster analysis was relied according to IAT items’ scores. Results: Participants were grouped into three clusters labeled "Regulated Internet users" (n=180), "Involved with Internet activities" (n=105), and "At risk for problematic Internet use" (n=147). Consistently, the group at-risk for problematic Internet use showed higher IAT score and MMPI-A scores than the other groups, while no differences emerged between the group of regulated Internet users and the group of those involved with Internet activities. For the group at risk for problematic Internet use, the MMPI-A Clinical Scales on Paranoia (Pa) and Schizophrenia (Sc) showed the highest elevation, indicating a MMPI-A codetype 6-8/8-6 which describes adolescents with ego immaturity, dysregulated affects and behaviors, and reduced reality testing. Conclusions: Adolescents at risk for developing a dysfunctional use of the Internet may have little insight, bizarre beliefs, grandiose thought, and a persecutory view of the external world that may limit their capacity to counteract feelings of hopelessness and anguish. They could perceive the Internet as safe environment where it is possible to express such dysregulated feelings and behaviors, and to cope with emotional distress
Politiche di integrazione dei servizi e reti sociali
No full textCon la riforma costituzione del 2001 il sistema dei servizi socio-assistenziali e sociali in generale si muove nella direzione dell’ampliamento delle
competenze delle regioni e delle autonomie locali, in una logica che chiama
a farsi carico delle responsabilità concernenti l’implementazione della rete
di servizi del welfare locale tutti gli attori del territorio che, sulla base del
metodo della pianificazione, della programmazione e della valutazione, partecipano alla costruzione del sistema
L'invecchiamento sano e attivo nelle politiche sociali
No full textLa rappresentazione demografica della struttura della popolazione evidenzia in modo chiaro e netto che l’invecchiamento della popolazione è un
fenomeno in continua espansione a cui sono connesse sia dimensioni macro
che incidono sull’intero assetto dell’organizzazione sociale, economica e politica dei sistemi nazionali sia dimensioni micro che possono modificare il corso della vita degli individui.
Questo “nuovo” scenario, o la cosiddetta galassia anziani riguarda ormai la maggior parte dei Paesi del nostro globo
Contesto e risultati generali della ricerca
No full textNegli anziani, che crescono di numero, si presenta sempre più una somma
di condizioni ciascuna delle quali non sarebbe in grado, da sola, di provocare
la perdita dell’autonomia. Condizioni che sembrano mettere in crisi
l’approccio clinico tradizionale e che richiedono nuovi modelli interpretativi
e operativi, a partire dai servizi dei Comuni – singoli e costituiti in Ambiti
territoriali – e dei Distretti Socio-Sanitari (DSS). Emerge, quindi, un cambiamento non solo quantitativo ma anche qualitativo dei bisogni della popolazione anziana, che richiede un cambiamento sia del modello “clinico” sia di quello “sociale” per fronteggiare i problemi degli anziani
VERSO UNA METODOLOGIA PER LA FORMAZIONE SULL'INVECCHIAMENTO SANO E ATTIVO
No full textLa realtà dell’invecchiamento sano e attivo si prospetta come un campo
che impegnerà, sempre più nel futuro, lo sviluppo di conoscenze e competenze adeguate. Sarà importante passare dagli elementi di conoscenza e riflessione teorica alla necessità di potersi calare nella realtà professionale,
utilizzando adeguatamente gli strumenti dell’integrazione dei servizi. Le
buone pratiche chiudono questa ipotesi metodologica verso una formazione
completa: esse testimoniano forme innovative di cambiamento e la rilevanza
del ruolo che il Terzo settore svolge nell’attuazione piena del principio di
sussidiarietà
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
