Functional near-infrared spectroscopy is a useful tool for multi-perspective psychobiological study of neurophysiological correlates of parenting behaviour
No full textThe quality of the relationship between caregiver and child has long-term effects on the cognitive and socio-emotional development of children. A process involved in human parenting is the bio-behavioural synchrony that occurs between the partners in the relationship during interaction. Through interaction, bio-behavioural synchronicity allows the adaptation of the physiological systems of the parent to those of the child and promotes the positive development and modelling of the child's social brain. The role of bio-behavioural synchrony in building social bonds could be investigated using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). In this paper we have (a) highlighted the importance of the quality of the caregiver-child relationship for the child's cognitive and socio-emotional development, as well as the relevance of infantile stimuli in the activation of parenting behaviour; (b) discussed the tools used in the study of the neurophysiological substrates of the parental response; (c) proposed fNIRS as a particularly suitable tool for the study of parental responses; and (d) underlined the need for a multi-systemic psychobiological approach to understand the mechanisms that regulate caregiver-child interactions and their bio-behavioural synchrony. We propose to adopt a multi-system psychobiological approach to the study of parental behaviour and social interaction

No full textAnalysis of coat colour genes for traceability of Cinta Senese products
No full textCinta Senese is a white belted pig breed native of Central Italy. Market prices of Cinta Senese (CS) of fresh and cured products are very high and this is due to the quality of the raw material. Assurance that products are made using only CS individuals is what consumers want. Therefore the institution of a protocol for a DNA-based traceability of Cinta Senese products is desirable. Coat colour genes could allow to distinguish this belted breed from the most widespread breeds reared in Italy. Four polymorphisms at locus MC1R and one at locus KIT were analyzed in 180 Cinta Senese (CS) purebred, 18 F1 Large White x CS and 15 F1 Duroc x CS individuals. Cinta Senese is homozygous i/i at locus KIT, whereas it shows two allelic forms at locus MC1R: MC1R*6
and MC1R*3. The results confirm that it is possible to distinguish Cinta Senese from both white and red pig breeds and even from crossbred animals. The suggested protocol might consist in a PCR test genotyping KIT locus combined with at least one of the RFLPs test at the MC1R locus. Furthermore, sequencing of the PCR products were performed in order to validate the protocol
La cultura volgare senese all'epoca di Dante
No full textNell'articolo sono presi in considerazione i primi testi documentari in senese antico. I primi documenti sono lettere e inventari, si collocano quindi sul versante della comunicazione privata o comunque legata a singoli individui. A partire dall'ultimo decennio del Duecento, l’uso del volgare si associa a contesti ufficiali. Questo percorso ha il suo culmine nella scrittura del Costituto del Comune di Siena (1309-10), ma un momento intermedio e finora poco studiato è rappresentato dalle iscrizioni delle tavolette di Biccherna. Di una iscrizione si dà uno specimen di edizione diplomatica; inoltre le iscrizioni vengono commentate linguisticamente, con attenzione non solo agli aspetti fonomorfologici del testo, ma anche in riferimento alla sintassi, alla testualità e alla pragmatica storica dell’italiano. Oltre agli aspetti di linguistica interna, nella ricostruzione della cultura volgare senese si è posta particolare attenzione agli aspetti sociali; della scelta per il volgare è stata messo in luce il valore simbolico come strumento usato nella polemica tra ceti e gruppi sociali (in particolare i mercanti che si schierano contro i detentori del sapere giuridico); questa analisi da un lato ha confermato il rapporto tra classe al potere, uso del volgare, idea del bello; dall’altro lato ha portato alcune idee nuove relativamente al concetto di “democratizzazione” della cultura, a lungo dibattuto soprattutto dagli storici e dai linguisti
L'influenza delle caratteristiche familiari e dell'interazione madre-bambino sullo sviluppo della simbolizzazione
No full textCategorization and sensorimotor interaction with objects.
No full textThree experiments were aimed at verifying whether the modality of interaction with objects and the goals defined by the task influences the weight of the properties used for categorization. In Experiment 1 we used everyday objects (cups and glasses), in order to exclude that the results depended on pre-stored categorical knowledge and to assess the role of a purely perceptual property such as colour. Novel objects were used respectively in Experiment 2 and Experiment 3. Participants experienced objects in different modalities of interaction: Vision, Vision+Action, Action, and Mirror (they observed an experimenter touching and lifting them), then they were submitted to a similarity evaluation task and to a more action-based sorting task. Objects varied in intrinsic properties which had a different degree of interactivity: Grip, Shape, Size and Colour. Overall Grip, the most interactive property, was relevant for categorization, together with Size in Experiment 1 and with Shape in Experiment 2 and Experiment 3. The relevance of Grip in the sorting task confirms that goal-relevant properties are more weighted. The absence of a modality effect is discussed in the framework of the theories arguing that the vision of objects and of conspecifics interacting with objects automatically activates motor information
