Note del terapeuta e misure del processo referenziale. Un possibile terzo analitico
THERAPIST’S NOTES AND MEASURES OF THE REFERENTIAL PROCESS. A POSSIBILE “ANALYTIC THIRD”. The Author presents an analysis of a therapist’s notes on the clinical work with a patient by means of Multiple Code Theory computerized linguistic measures. In accordance with literature the results show a strong connection between the linguistic properties of the therapist’s notes and the effectiveness of treatment.
Thus, the linguistic analysis of the therapist’s notes not only expands the possibilities of clinical research, but also could be a useful support to understand and predict the evolution of a case and the type of relationship developed by the therapeutic couple. Clinicians that adopt this methodology in their professional practice have a useful tool facilitating supervision and reflection on the case. This tool can be considered as an “analytic third” monitoring and strengthening the referential process that connects therapists to their lived emotional experience and to patients
La giurisprudenza francese sulle clausole di non concorrenza
Nel XIX secolo i rapporti di lavoro sono retti dal principio della libertà contrattuale, ma dal XX secolo la giurisprudenza tende a proteggere gli interessi dei lavoratori e i contratti collettivi prevedono, dagli anni Settanta, un indennizzo in contropartita dell’astensione da parte del dipendente, licenziato o dimessosi, dallo svolgere un’attività in concorrenza con il precedente datore di lavoro. Dal 1992 il Code du travail esige che tale restrizione sia proporzionata alla possibilità di una concorrenza effettiva, e dall’inizio del XXI secolo la Cassazione specifica i requisiti della clausola di non concorrenza
Evolution of the Trigger and Data Acquisition System for the ATLAS experiment
The ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN relies on a complex and highly distributed Trigger and Data Acquisition (TDAQ) system to gather and select particle collision data at unprecedented energy and rates. The TDAQ is composed of three levels which reduces the event rate from the design bunch-crossing rate of 40 MHz to an average event recording rate of about 200 Hz. The first part of this paper gives an overview of the operational performance of the DAQ system during 2011 and the first months of data taking in 2012. It describes how the flexibility inherent in the design of the system has be exploited to meet the changing needs of ATLAS data taking and in some cases push performance beyond the original design performance specification. The experience accumulated in the TDAQ system operation during these years stimulated also interest to explore possible evolutions, despite the success of the current design. One attractive direction is to merge three systems - the second trigger level (L2), the Event Builder (EB), and the Event Filter (EF) - within a single homogeneous one in which each processing node executes all the steps required by the trigger and data acquisition process. Appealing aspects of this design are: a simplification of the software architecture and of its configuration, a better exploitation of the computing resources, the caching of fragments already collected for L2 processing, the automated load balancing between L2 and EF selection steps, the sharing of code and services on HLT nodes. Furthermore, the full treatment of the HLT selection on a single node allows more flexible approaches, for example "incremental event building" in which trigger algorithms progressively enlarge the size of the analyzed region of interest, before requiring the building of the complete event. To spot possible limitations of the new approach and to demonstrate the benefits out-lined above, a prototype has been implemented. The preliminary measurements are positive and further tests are scheduled for the next months
Structure of FAD-bound L-aspartate oxidase: insight into substrate specificity and catalysis
L-Aspartate oxidase (Laspo) catalyzes the conversion of L-Asp to iminoaspartate, the first step in the de novo biosynthesis of NAD(+). This bacterial pathway represents a potential drug target since it is absent in mammals. The Laspo R386L mutant was crystallized in the FAD-bound catalytically competent form and its three-dimensional structure determined at 2.5 A resolution in both the native state and in complex with succinate. Comparison of the R386L holoprotein with the wild-type apoenzyme [Mattevi, A., Tedeschi, G., Bacchella, L., Coda, A., Negri, A., and Ronchi, S. (1999) Structure 7, 745-756] reveals that cofactor incorporation leads to the ordering of two polypeptide segments (residues 44-53 and 104-141) and to a 27 degree rotation of the capping domain. This motion results in the formation of the active site cavity, located at the interface between the capping domain and the FAD-binding domain. The structure of the succinate complex indicates that the cavity surface is decorated by two clusters of H-bond donors that anchor the ligand carboxylates. Moreover, Glu121, which is strictly conserved among Laspo sequences, is positioned to interact with the L-Asp alpha-amino group. The architecture of the active site of the Laspo holoenzyme is remarkably similar to that of respiratory fumarate reductases, providing strong evidence for a common mechanism of catalysis in Laspo and flavoproteins of the succinate dehydrogenase/fumarate reductase family. This implies that Laspo is mechanistically distinct from other flavin-dependent amino acid oxidases, such as the prototypical D-amino acid oxidase
Livelli e codici multipli della mente, ovvero vincoli e possibilità della nostra relazione con il mondo
LEVELS AND MULTIPLE CODES OF THE MIND, OR CONSTRAINTS AND POSSIBILITIES OF OUR RELATION WITH THE WORLD. The authors offer a reading of the multiple code theory of Wilma Bucci both as a theory of the mind, intended as being in relationship with the world, and as a theory of the technique, intended as the hypothesis on how patient-therapist communication can spawn some changes in their being in relationship with the world. In particular they examine – also exemplifying it through the analysis of clinical cases discussed by Wilma Bucci – the process considered essential for therapeutic change: the emergence in the multiform subjective experience of symbols understood as patterns of multimodal sensory experiences in interpersonal communication that becomes defined and recognizable. The words in the talking cure become central only at a later stage and they are primarily the result of this process, not the engine. According to the authors’ hypothesis it is exactly the joint non verbal symbolization of subjective experience that is
itself transformative and creative as it deconstructs the constraints of automatic processing that occurs in subsymbolic processing and greatly expands the degree of freedom of the subject. This non verbal symbolic communication in fact gives to analyst and patient the possibility of taking a position with respect to the experiences made recognizable within and because of the relationship in which they are immersed. And that is why psychotherapeutic
change can be defined as an embodied, contextual and relational process
