Psychopathologies des demandeurs d’asile en Europe, traumatisme et fonctionnement défensif
2015
Refugees seeking asylum are a particularly vulnerable population. It has been observed that among the most commonly-occurring disorders exhibited in this population, there is a high incidence of post-traumatic stress disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and depression. These disorders may be linked to the difficult paths that refugees are forced to undertake, as well as to different traumatic events which are particularly destructive psychologically (deliberate physical, sexual and/or psychological violence, traumatic bereavements in the context of war, or social and political instability, socio-economic, familial or administrative difficulties), which compromise their view of their shor…
Deconstructing and reconstructing resilience: a dynamic network approach
2019
Resilience is still often viewed as a unitary personality construct that, as a kind of anti-nosological entity, protects individuals against stress-related mental problems. However, increasing evidence indicates that the maintenance of mental health in the face of adversity results from complex and dynamic processes of adaptation to stressors that involve the activation of several separable protective factors. Such resilience factors can reside at biological, psychological and social levels and may include stable predispositions (such as genotype or personality traits) and malleable properties, skills, capacities or external circumstances (such as gene expression patterns, emotion regulatio…

Narrazione, consapevolezza e resilienza
2017
La presente proposta intende ampliare e aggiornare le riflessioni sul ruolo, le funzioni e la capacità adattiva della famiglia di fronte agli eventi altamente stressanti, per riconoscerle quelle capacità e quelle risorse che le sono proprie. Dall’analisi delle funzioni della memoria autobiografica si osserva le trasformazioni della memoria familiare in seguito alle esperienze di discontinuità famigliare, con particolare riferimento alla genitorialità. L’articolo analizza il tema della memoria famigliare nei processi di formazione del senso di identità, di appartenenza famigliare e socio-culturale. Metteremo in evidenza la centralità del ruolo della narrazione nel funzionamento familiare e d…
The experience of risk in families: conceptualisations and implications for transformative consumer research
2014
International audience; Families represent an important context for understanding and addressing the various forms of risk experienced by consumers. This article defines and discusses the concept of risk as it applies to the familial unit, with a particular focus on the liminal transitions that occur within families and the resiliency required for families to identify and adopt effective coping strategies to manage these transitions. A framework is proposed that offers researchers an approach for applying concepts related to family risk to various consumption-related problems and issues. This framework constitutes a starting point that can be developed and expanded to facilitate a deeper un…
Education in a crisis. Italy within southern Europe: Trends and the way forward

El análisis permite concluir que las prioridades en términos de reforma son: completar el proceso de autonomía escolar, completar el plan de digitalización, dotando todas las escuelas de TICs actualizadas, cambiar la j…

Comparison of social-ecological resilience between two grassland management patterns driven by grassland land contract policy in the Maqu, Qinghai-Ti…
2018
Embraced for decision-making, resilience has evolved as a meaningful term in areas such as ecology, the economy and society. After a policy of grassland contracts was implemented on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, two grassland management patterns evolved: the multi-household management pattern (MMP) and the single-household management pattern (SMP). Within a resilience-driven perspective, this study compared the outcomes of these grassland management patterns by measuring their effects on the resilience of grazing, ecological, economic and social systems. Resilience indicators for each of the four systems were: grazing system (grazing space, transhumance, water source and reproduction); ecolo…
Sociolinguistic Resilience Among Young Academics. A Quantitative Analysis in Germany and France
2021
International audience; Already Friedrich Schiller was convinced that language mirrors a nation. If this is the case, then the often deplored ‘brutalization of language’, which has almost become a buzzword in the wake of the refugee crisis in Germany that started in 2015, points to a serious social crisis by raising questions of (national) identity and self-understanding. Based on newly introduced sociolinguistic resilience concept in line with the concept of group focus enmity (GFE) combining the dimensions of co-adaptation and co-evolution of linguistic signs, this article presents preliminary empirical evidence of a ‘classroom’ survey conducted among students in four university towns in …
A Knowledge Interface System for Information and Cyber Security Using Semantic Wiki
2018
Resilience against information and cyber security threats has become an essential ability for organizations to maintain business continuity. As bulletproof security is an unattainable goal, organizations need to concentrate to select optimal countermeasures against information and cyber security threats. Implementation of cyber risk management actions require special knowledge and resources, which especially small and medium-size enterprises often lack. Information and cyber security risk management establish knowledge intensive business processes, which can be assisted with a proper knowledge management system.
