No full textDevianze on line: sexting e cyberbullismo. Psicopatologia del fenomeno ed alcune considerazioni psicodinamiche
No full textThe following work, examining the widespread diffusion of some online deviant phenomena such as cyberbullying (threats persisted through e-mail and online media) and the sexting (sending offensive pornographic material not required), highlights the role they have, both in the victims and in the abusers, the personality traits, the family environment and the relationship with the peers, considering that the victims are mostly teenagers. The author traces a psychodynamic reading of the phenomena also highlighting some models of intervention for prevention. The following work also underlines the usefulness of a psychotherapeutic treatment for both the abusers and the victims, considering that especially the latter could fall into depressive crises because of the abuses they suffered
Living in a loft
No full textLOFT (Large area Observatory For x-ray Timing) is an innovative mission concept for the next generation of X-ray experiments, submitted to the ESA Call for Medium size missions “M3”. Recent developments in the field of Silicon detectors allowed us to design a realistic observatory devoted to X-ray timing studies with an effective area above 10 m2, operating in the energy range 2-30 keV with an energy resolution of ∼250 eV. Such an exceedingly large area (20 times that of RXTE/PCA), with a time resolution better than 10 μs, will enable unprecedently fast and accurate time variability studies related to accreting collapsed objects (e.g. fast coherent pulsations and QPOs). The scientific payload is complemented by a coded-mask wide field monitor based on similar detectors. In this paper we present the mission concept, the payload design and the expected performances. © Copyright owned by the author(s)
Professional exposure to basaltic rock dust: Assessment by the Vibrio fischeri ecotoxicological test
No full textA recent study demonstrates that inhalation of airborne particulate from Mount Etna eruptions may induce fibrotic lung disease. The occupational exposure of construction workers from the Etna area, who excavate building sites and use basalt dust to make mortar, has never been assessed
AGILE observation of gamma-ray variability of the bright blazar 3C 273 during the MWL campaign of Dec 2007 - Jan 2008
No full textEight years after the last EGRET observations in gamma-ray, the GRID (30 MeV - 50 GeV) and SuperAGILE (18 - 60 keV) experiments on board the AGILE mission observed the Virgo sky from December 16, 2007 and January 6, 2008. We organized a multi-wavelength campaign for the FSRQ 3C 273 with joint observations from the REM observatory (covering the near-IR and optical), Swift (near-UV and 0.2-10 keV). We report the preliminary results from the campaign. The first week the source was not detectable in Gamma Rays. Then we detected gamma-ray activity, with a flux comparable to the EGRET detection in June 1991. The hard x light curve show a decrease in flux of ∼ 20% during the period of activity in Gamma-ray.

A new method for the experimental assessment of finger haemodynamic effects induced by a hydraulic breaker in operative conditions
No full textA New Method for the Experimental Assessment of Finger Haemodynamic Effects Induced by a Hydraulic Breaker in Operative Conditions: Matteo Valentino, et al. Clinic of Occupational Medicine, University of Ancona, Italy-The haemodynamic effects, in terms of grip force and hand-transmitted accelerations, produced on the fingers of 10 healthy subjects by operation of a hydraulic breaker held with a low or a high grip were investigated with a new experimental set-up. A novel apparatus consisting of a capacitive sensor matrix and a laser Doppler vibrometer was used to measure the two parameters during breaker operation. Finger blood flow in basal conditions and after each test was evaluated in the four long fingers of both hands with a photoplethysmograph and superficial skin thermometry. The amplitude of the accelerations transmitted to the hand surface was greater during the test with the low grip. Photoplethysmographic and thermometric values were significantly lower than basal values after either test. The amplitude of photoplethysmographic values during the tests was significantly lower with the low than with the high grip in 6 subjects, in both index fingers, and in the right middle finger. The authors show that the level of grip force used for holding the breaker causes transmission of vibrations of wider amplitude, resulting in greater reduction in finger blood flow. In line with the literature, stimulus magnitude, frequency and duration affected finger blood flow, especially in the index finger
