Social networks, acculturation strategies and refugees' wellbeing in Italy
No full textThe literature on the refugee experience has often highlighted how the nonvoluntary nature of the migration process, the traumatic experiences and the resources loss, expose migrants to acculturative stress (Rossi & Mancini, 2016). Acculturative stress promotes attitudes of separation or marginality (Sem & Berry, 2010), which in turn contribute to generating psychological disease and poor socio-cultural adaptation. However, various studies have shown that this acculturative stress in related to several factors and, among these, also on the personal, social and contextual resources to which forced migrants can draw once they arrive in the host context (Rossi, 2018). Focusing on social resources, this study analyzed how the frequency of contacts, the cultural heterogeneity and the emotional closeness of the social network in the host country is related both to the acculturation attitudes and the to the psychological well-being of forced migrants in Italy. A semi-structured interview composed of Name generator, Acculturation Attitudes Scale and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale were administered to a sample of 160 forced migrants (refugees = 111; Males = 123, Mage = 29.96). The path analysis showed that, by promoting integration, it was above all cultural heterogeneity and the emotional closeness of the social network that increased the migrants' psychological well-being

The strong Brunn-Minkowski inequality and its equivalence with the CD condition
No full textIn the setting of essentially non-branching metric measure spaces, we prove the equivalence between the curvature dimension condition CD(K,N), in the sense of Lott-Sturm-Villani [Sturm, On the geometry of metric measure spaces. I, Acta Math. 196(1) (2006) 65-131; On the geometry of metric measure spaces. II, Acta Math. 196(1) (2006) 133-177; Ricci curvature for metric-measure spaces via optimal transport, Ann. of Math. (2) 169(3) (2009) 903-991], and a newly introduced notion that we call strong Brunn-Minkowski inequality SBM(K,N). This condition is a reinforcement of the generalized Brunn-Minkowski inequality BM(K,N), which is known to hold in CD(K,N) spaces. Our result is a first step toward providing a full equivalence between the CD(K,N) condition and the validity of BM(K,N), which has been recently proved in [M. Magnabosco, L. Portinale and T. Rossi, The Brunn-Minkowski inequality implies the CD condition in weighted Riemannian manifolds, Nonlinear Anal. 242 (2024) 113502] in the framework of weighted Riemannian manifolds
Favole Di Giovanni Gherardo De Rossi
No full textBeautiful engraving in the middle of the title-page leads into this collection of 70 Italian fables delivered on the occasion of a wedding. T of C at the rear. I can find no mention of De Rossi in McKendry, Hobbs, or Quinnam. There is a great introductory epigram from Martial saying something like: Big talk for big folks. It is enough for me who have said little things to return often into your hands. I have not yet made my way through the fables themselves.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Language note: ItalianGherardo De Ross
Tonic activation of GABA-B receptors reduces release probability at inhibitory connections in the cerebellar glomerulus
No full textMapelli L, Rossi P, Nieus T, D'Angelo E. Tonic activation of GABA(B) receptors reduces release probability at inhibitory connections in the cerebellar glomerulus. J Neurophysiol 101: 3089-3099, 2009. First published April 1, 2009; doi:10.1152/jn.91190.2008. In the cerebellum, granule cells are inhibited by Golgi cells through GABAergic synapses generating complex responses involving both phasic neurotransmitter release and the establishment of ambient gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels. Although at this synapse the mechanisms of postsynaptic integration have been clarified to a considerable extent, the mechanisms of neurotransmitter release remained largely unknown. Here we have investigated the quantal properties of release during repetitive neurotransmission, revealing that tonic GABA(B) receptor activation by ambient GABA regulates release probability. Blocking GABA(B) receptors with CGP55845 enhanced the first inhibitory postsynaptic current (IPSC) and short-term depression in a train while reducing trial-to-trial variability and failures. The changes caused by CGP55845 were similar to those caused by increasing extracellular Ca2+ concentration, in agreement with a presynaptic GABA(B) receptor modulation of release probability. However, the slow tail following IPSC peak demonstrated a remarkable temporal summation and was not modified by CGP55845 or extracellular Ca2+ increase. This result shows that tonic activation of presynaptic GABA(B) receptors by ambient GABA selectively regulates the onset of inhibition bearing potential consequences for the dynamic regulation of signal transmission through the mossy fibergranule cell pathway of the cerebellum
Beltrami Equations on Rossi Spheres
No full textBeltrami equations L¯t(g)=μ(·,t)Lt(g) on S3 (where Lt, |t|1, are the Rossi operators i.e., Lt spans the globally nonembeddable CR structure H(t) on S3 discovered by H. Rossi) are derived such that to describe quasiconformal mappings f:S3→N⊂C2 from the Rossi sphere S3,H(t). Using the Greiner–Kohn–Stein solution to the Lewy equation and the Bargmann representations of the Heisenberg group, we solve the Beltrami equations for Sobolev-type solutions gt such that gt−v∈WF1,2S3,θ with v∈CR∞S3,H(0)
