A brief review about anxiety and aggressive behavior in pediatric age

Anxiety can be considered a normal experience of the human being and as such also of the child. It manifests itself in different ways according to the level of development: in the smaller the child, the more anxiety is expressed with manifestations that involve the whole organism, becoming evident either with motor excitement or with physical discomfort. As the psychic apparatus is structured, anxiety is experienced as an inner phenomenon and is experienced as an unpleasant state. Fortunately, we are all a bit anxious, even if there are some people who are more, others less.

Behavioral aspects in children's brothers affected by Autism Spectrum Disorders

Introduction: Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a permanent and complex disability arising within the first three years of life characterized by a socio-communicative disorder and by fixed interests and repetitive behaviors. The present pilot study aims to evaluate behavioral aspects in a small population of siblings of ASD children. Material and methods: Population: 5 school-aged children (2 males, 3 females) (mean age 9.235 ± 2.041) were enrolled, as siblings of ASD children, and for comparison, 12 healthy (7 males, 5 females) children (average age 9,528 ± 3,351). All subjects underwent evaluation of the behavioral with Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) scale. Results: The two groups were…

La luce nell'architettura del Mediterraneo

L’articolo precisa alcune considerazioni sul tema della luce nel Mediterraneo dove quest’ultima ha la capacità di incidere sull’architettura e ne evidenzia le forme. La forte relazione tra architettura e luce nel Mediterraneo è presente negli spazi delle Medine del Nord Africa come nelle famose moschee di Kairouan, Tunisi, Cordova, Damasco ecc. Il rapporto tra architettura e luce è già stato teorizzato nel viaggio d’Oriente di Le Corbusièr ed evidenziato nelle sue opere più importanti come Ronchamp e La Tourette, mentre nell’architettura contemporanea emergono progettisti come Alberto Campo Baeza, Louis Barragan, Tadao Ando ed Alberto Campo Baeza. In Alberto Campo Baeza il tema della luce è…

3C 279 Event Horizon Telescope imaging

3C 279 is an archetypal blazar with a prominent radio jet that show broadband flux density variability across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. We use an ultra-high angular resolution technique - global Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) at 1.3mm (230GHz) - to resolve the innermost jet of 3C 279 in order to study its fine-scale morphology close to the jet base where highly variable gamma-ray emission is thought to originate, according to various models. The source was observed during four days in April 2017 with the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) at 230 GHz, including the phased Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), at an angular resolution of ~20uarcsec (at a redshif…
