Perceived family cohesion, social support, and quality of life in patients undergoing treatment for substance use disorders compared with patients wi…

Abstract Purpose Support from family and other social network elements can be important in helping patients to cope with practical and emotional consequences of diseases. The aim of the study was to examine perception of family and social support and quality of life (QoL) in patients undergoing treatment for substance use disorders (SUDs). We compared them with patients in treatment for mental disorders (MDs) and physical disorders (PDs). Methods We used data from a national multicenter study that recruited patients (N = 518) from three treatment domains; SUD treatment units, MD treatment units, and PD treatment units (severe neurological conditions or cancer). Data on family cohesion, so…
RECIPROCITÀ: UNA DECLINAZIONE SOCIOLOGICA
2019
Tra iconcetti polisemici presenti in tutti i paradigmi sociologici, nonché approfondito da sociologi di diversa epoca, vi è certamente quello di reciprucità. Nella sua accezione più immediata, possiamo considerarla anzi come uno degli oggetti di studio principali della sociologia — si potrebbe sostenere che non vi può essere società senza reciprocità — ma proprio perché costituisce uno dei fondamenti alla base delle diverse società, a prescindere dalla loro diversa collocazione nel tempo e nello spazio’. Simmel, ad esempio, uno dei pionieri dello studio dei modelli di ‘sociazione”, come egli stesso definiva le forme di associazione e prosecuzione nel tempo di relazioni sociali, sosteneva ch…
Towards Ecoism on the Road of Societal Resilience
2013
How citizens are able to understand eco-responsible conducts and a necessary community-based action in an individual world? With the "Transition Towns MOVIDA" project, we wish to identify levers related to a most collective and sustainable consumption. How our civilization can survive to a collective sclerosis accompanied with doomsayer's messages, increasing complexity and unstable governance? The present proposal consider major terms definition and practices, which can support the bounce to socio-ecological transition. When adaptive principles and practices runs for self-sufficiency and contributes to opportunity, availability or competition in a fragmented warming world, which behavioral…
Inner peripheries: dealing with peripherality and marginality issues within the European policy framework
2020
Abstract : Inner Peripheries is a complex and often misinterpreted concept, as demonstrated by current scientific evidence. Such complexity derives from the intrinsic peripherality and marginality characteristics of the Inner Peripheries. Despite Inner Peripheries suffer from geographical and socio-economic disparities, their environmental, social and economic potentialities are not fully expressed, and thus can be further strengthened by both the EU Cohesion and Rural Development Policies. However, there is currently a lack of knowledge about the linkages between the Inner Peripheries and both Cohesion and Rural Development Policies, which could limit the effectiveness of planning strategi…
Enseñanza de las ciencias : revista de investigación y experiencias didácticas
2021
La biodiversidad es un concepto complejo, convertido en un importante referente curricular. Esta investigación explora si un ejercicio avanzado de las competencias necesarias para hacer significativo el concepto de biodiversidad en diferentes contextos conlleva una mejora significativa de la calidad de los argumentos implicados en la toma de decisiones sobre conservación de la biodiversidad. Para ello se ha aplicado una metodología cualitativa al análisis de doce argumentos formulados por estudiantes de 1.º de Bachillerato, caracterizados por su elevada complejidad estructural, de los cuales se muestra uno a modo de ejemplo. Los resultados revelan que, a pesar del nivel de cohesión estructu…
Modelling steel jacketed RC columns: Remarks by experimental-numerical comparisons
2015
The recent large use of nonlinear seismic assessment techniques requires the definition of highly reliable computational models. The retrofitting or strengthening of RC columns by steel angles and battens is a commonly adopted technique, used to improve strength and deformation capacity of existing RC buildings. In the case of steel angles not directly loaded, the numerical definition of the cross-section model has to be handled carefully since it is affected by more uncertainties. The vertical load carried by the angles is a function of the lateral confinement pressure, the cohesion and the friction coefficient between the materials, parameters which are not always easy to predict. The pap…
La strategia europea delle macroregioni. Opportunità e criticità
2018
Le politiche regionali europee hanno offerto nuovi spazi per promuovere l’azione ai livelli subnazionali di governo, nonché la possibilità di sperimentare nuove strategie per lo sviluppo territoriale. In questo lavoro prenderemo in considerazione la strategia macroregionale dell’Unione Europea al fine di identificare opportunità e aspetti critici delle esperienze già maturate (macroregioni del Mar Baltico, del Danubio, Adriatico-Ionica e Alpina), con particolare attenzione alla possibilità di istituire una macroregione del Mediterraneo occidentale. Alcune riflessioni e questioni critiche vengono proposte nella parte finale del contributo. European regional policies have offered new spaces t…
A Psychometric Evaluation of the Group Environment Questionnaire in a Sample of Professional Basketball and Soccer Players
2013
Psychometric properties of the Group environment Questionnaire were investigated in a large sample of soccer (n = 222) and professional basketball players (n = 375). Confirmatory factor analysis was performed both on the total sample and on the two sub samples through a multi-group approach; associations between cohesion and the duration of belonging to the team were also explored. Results confirmed the four-factor structure proposed by Carron's original model even though some items with low loadings were eliminated. No signifcant associations were found between team cohesion and the duration of belonging to the team. © Perceptual & Motor Skills 2013.
Integrazione dei migranti
2022
Il termine “integrazione” nell’ambito degli studi sulle migrazioni, conosce una pluralità di accezioni, che deriva sia dalla molteplicità di variabili oggettive e soggettive che concorrono alla sua definizione, sia dalla sua interconnessione con i mutamenti politici e culturali costantemente in atto (partecipazione [3], inclusione giuridica, intervento civile e politico, cittadinanza, politiche sociali, convivenza democratica, diritti sociali ecc.). The term "integration" in the field of migration studies has a plurality of meanings, which derives both from the multiplicity of objective and subjective variables that contribute to its definition, and from its interconnection with the politic…
