SURGICAL CORRECTION OF LABIA MINORA HYPERTROPHY, A PERSONAL TECHNIQUE

2018

Background. Labia minora hypertrophy is a congenital or acquired condition in which both labia minora (or more rarely only one) protrude beyond the edge of the labia majora. The authors present a surgical technique of volumetric reduction of hypertrophic labia minora, associated with lipofilling of the labia majora. Methods. Between 2005 and 2014, 27 patients underwent surgical reduction of labia minora, as described by Altier and Rouzier. The indications for surgical treatment varied and were as follows: interference with sexual intercourse; poor hygiene; difficulty wearing tight-fitting pants; difficulty while performing sporting activities such as cycling; aesthetic complaints. The surgi…

Planning Research ‘with’ Minorities in Palermo: Negotiating Ethics and Commitments in a Participatory Process

2008

The paper will explore some ethical issues which arise when undertaking research with minorities (ethnic groups, children, poor people) in the context of an uncollaborative planning process, like the Palermo Local Agenda 21. There are important ethical issues that have to be carefully considered when undertaking research with people, particularly when these people are marginalised or excluded by wider society. Here, issues of powerlessness and vulnerability abound. If this is accepted, some questions arise. How are we supposed to consider planning researchers – understood as immersed in the policy process – as moral/political agents, given their political commitments? Here there are both ge…

A defense of the moral and legal right to secede

2021

We defend the moral and legal right to secede in accordance with plebiscitary theory. Our paper has three main goals. First, by offering a schematic characterization of plebiscitary theory, the main arguments in its favour (and the main objections to them), we contribute to clarify the structure of this complex debate. Second, we stress the point that, if the moral right to secede is established, the resistance for its inclusion into positive law is unjustified. Finally, by addressing old and new objections to plebiscitary theory, we hope to make a compelling case for a wider recognition of secessionist rights.

Riflessioni a margine della pronuncia della Corte di Appello di Torino 4 dicembre 2014 in tema di trascrizione dell’atto di nascita formato all’ester…

2015

L'Autrice affronta il tema della trascrivibilità degli atti di nascita formati all'estero all'estero a seguito di tecniche di procreazione medicalmente assistita di tipo eterologo o di gestazione per altri da parte di coppie italiane indicate come genitori nel certificato straniero. A partire da una sentenza della corte di appello di Torino viene tracciato il percorso interpretativo, dottrinale giurisprudenziale, in materia di famiglie same-sex per soffermare poi l'attenzione su filiazione e criteri di imputazione della genitorialità. Specifica attenzione è dedicata all'indagine circa la non contrarietà all'ordine pubblico dell'atto straniero.

"She's straight, you delusional cunt!" : a study on bullying and homophobia in online fandoms

2016

Tämä kandidaatintutkielma käsittelee seksuaalisten vähemmistöjen syrjintää ja nettikiusaamisen esiintymistä internet-faniyhteisöissä. Edelliset tutkimukset kertovat nettikiusaamisen olevan haitallista ja vaikuttavan uhrien mielenterveyteen – usein jopa enemmän kuin kasvotusten tapahtuva kiusaaminen. Tutkielmaa varten tehty nettikysely suunnattiin “femslash”-faniryhmille. Näiden ryhmien median kulutukseen kuuluvat esimerkiksi tv-ohjelmien naishahmojen väliset (romanttiset) suhteet ja näistä suhteista puhuminen sekä eri materiaalien (kuten kuvien, videoiden ja fanifiktion) luominen ryhmien henkilöiden kesken. Kyselyn perusteella oli tarkoitus saada selville, miten yleistä näiden ryhmien kokem…

Contrastive Analysis of the Interlanguages of Unaccompanied Foreign Minors Learning L2 Italian

2019

This paper proposes a contrastive analysis of the interlanguage of L2 Italian learners belonging to the category of “unaccompanied foreign minorsˮ, with the same L1 but different levels of education. The profile of unaccompanied foreign minors is complex and sociolinguistically very peculiar, since it is characterized by the frequent coexistence of a plurilingual ability and a (very) low, or zero, level of education. The study is based on oral productions collected through video interviews and studied with the support of conversation analysis. Focusing on the acquisition of verb inflectional morphology, the comparison of learners’ varieties aims to show to what extent several differences de…

Minori stranieri non accompagnanti: abilità, risorse e competenze

2019

L’apprendimento dell’italiano per i minori stranieri non accompagnati procede a passi relativamente rapidi anche se i ragazzi intervistati hanno una scarsa scolarità. L’età relativamente giovane, insieme a una esperienza di vita del tutto particolare, che li ha fatti crescere forzosamente, deve avere reso questi ragazzi particolarmente ricettivi nei confronti dell’apprendimento della lingua. D’altra parte, essa si presenta, ai loro occhi, come la porta principale di accesso a una condizione di vita che non può che essere migliore di quella che hanno lasciato e che, in ogni caso, offre loro la convinzione di avere più prospettive di vita e di riuscita di quelle che hanno lasciato nel paese d…

Percorsi relazionali nelle comunità. Minori, buone prassi e rappresentazioni a confronto.

2014

The aim of this thesis was to analyze the context of residential communities for young offenders (Part I) and to analyze the influence of social representations in adolescents and educators (Part II). The first part offers two levels of study on adolescents and on the organizational structure of the community. Adolescents show many problematic levels in the identified variables (Experiences of neglect and abuse during childhood, Attachment Styles, Self-Esteem, Interpersonal Relations, Behavioural problems). No differences between groups of young differentiating according to the reason for placement in community were found. Analysis of community (101 educators from 20 different households) w…
