Secure attachment and individual protective factors against internalized homophobia
2019
This article explores the relationship between internalized homophobia and three main variables: attachment to mother, father, and peers; ego resiliency; and self-esteem. We recruited 51 Italian gay men and 54 lesbian women aged between 18 and 30, and asked them to complete self-report measures. The results showed that internalized homophobia negatively correlated with the security of attachment to father and self-esteem. On the other hand, no significant association was found between ego resiliency and internalized homophobia. The implications of these findings are considered in the discussion, along with the potential role of preventive programs targeting attachment relationships and self…
Un futuro per Kiribati : proposte di intervento per insediamenti abitativi resilienti
2020
Secondo il Rapporto Speciale dell’IPCC Oceano e Criosfera in un clima che cambia, il livello dei mari è cresciuto a un ritmo di 3,6 mm all’anno nel periodo compreso tra il 2005 e il 2015, aumentando più velocemente nel corso dell’ultimo secolo a causa dello scioglimento delle calotte di ghiaccio e dell’espansione termica dell’oceano. Questo aumenta i rischi per le popolazioni che vivono nelle zone costiere ed in particolare per quelle che abitano le regioni artiche e gli atolli come le isole di Kiribati che, entro la metà del secolo potrebbero diventare inabitabili. I sistemi di protezione delle coste e i processi di adattamento che utilizzano gli ecosistemi e soluzioni derivate dalla natur…
Planning Rehabilitation Actions on Water Distribution Networks in Condition of Data Scarcity
2011
The paper shows a viable approach to the selection of water networks rehabilitation actions, in condition of data scarcity and uncertainty, based on the use of four concise performance literature indices, allowing the analysis and identification of efficient, reliable and robust rehabilitation alternatives, even if assessed on the basis of a relatively small amount of data. A promising statistical sampling method of water consumptions is also described, that may be fruitfully employed within the proposed approach for drafting water balances at network district scale in order to quantify the extent of leakages. The illustrated case study shows that the selected indices are capable to describ…
Work satisfaction, psychological resiliency and sense of coherence as correlates of work engagement
2018
The objective of the article is to describe the links between work engagement—the response variable, work satisfaction—the explanatory variable, and sense of coherence, along with resiliency as resources—moderating variables. The theoretical foundations for our hypotheses are Hackman and Oldham’s Job Charcteristics Model, Block and Kremen’s conception of resiliency, Antonovsky’s salutogenesis, the JD-R of relation between work demands and resources and also the model of work engagement in the research of Schaufeli, Salanova, González-romá, and Bakker. Methods: 94 independent workers of Polish branches of international corporations were studied. Work satisfaction was measured using the SSP s…
Ἔκπληξις e κατάπληξις: shock e resilienza in Tucidide
2012
Because of their ambiguous position between irrational frailty and rational choice, the emotions play a strategic role in Thucydides’ narrative system as well as in his historiographical paradigm. This paper aims at demonstrating the importance of emotions in particular circumstances: ekplexis (and kataplexis) as expressions of fear. The analysis of some crucial passages shows indeed the importance of fear within the historian’s view, where it is presented as a sentiment, both negative and positive, useful to the decision-making in the polis of the fifth century.
