Borderline intellectual functioning and parental stress: An italian case-control study
2016
Introduction: Borderline intellectual functioning (BIF) children comprises a group of subjects whit intelligence quotient (IQ) ranging 71-85, with a prevalence about 13.6%. Several studies pinpointed the role of parenting on BIF management. Aim of present study was evaluating with objective and validated tool the parental stress rate in mothers of an Italian sample of BIF children. Materials and methods: 26 BIF children (20 males and 6 females) aged 6-10 years (mean age 10.36± 2.03), according to DSM-5 criteria, and 53 (42 males and 11 females) typical developing children (mean age 10.58 ± 1.97) were recruited for present study. Mothers of all enrolled children underwent an evaluation with …
A study on maternal-fetal attachment in pregnant women undergoing fetal echocardiography
2017
Purpose: To investigate the possible effects of the fetal echocardiography experience on the prenatal attachment process. The predictive effect of specific women’s psychological variables will be explored as well. Design and methods: This between groups study involved 85 women with pregnancy at risk who underwent the fetal echocardiography, and 83 women who were about to undergo the morphological scan. The tools employed were: the Prenatal Attachment Inventory (P.A.I.) to explore the maternal-fetal attachment; the Maternity Social Support Scale to investigate the woman perception of being socially supported during pregnancy; both the Big Five Questionnaire and the FACES III to explore the p…
Inhibition, set-shifting and working memory in Global Developmental Delay preschool children
2018
Executive functions (EFs) allow to planning and voluntarily and autonomously produce targeted behaviors, in unusual or complex conditions in which the automated response schemes are not appropriate or sufficient to achieve behavior goal. The aim of this study was to evaluate EFs in preschool children presenting with Global Developmental Delay (GDD). Fifty-two preschool children participated in this study: 20 GDD children and 32 typical developing children (TDC) as control group, enrolled in the schools of Campania and Sicily Regions. All subjects underwent evaluation of the executive functioning through the administration of the Battery for the Assessment of Preschool Executive Functions (B…
THE HILBERT FUNCTION OF BIGRADED ALGEBRAS IN k[P1x P1]
2020
We classify the Hilbert functions of bigraded algebras in k[x1, x2, y1, y2] by introducing a numerical function called a Ferrers function.
Random Stability of an Additive-Quadratic-Quartic Functional Equation
2010
Using the fixed point method, we prove the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of the following additive-quadratic-quartic functional equation f(x+2y)+f(x−2y)=2f(x+y)+2f(−x−y)+2f(x−y)+2f(y−x)−4f(−x)−2f(x)+f(2y)+f(−2y)−4f(y)−4f(−y) in complete random normed spaces.
On some parameters related to weak noncompactness in L1(μ,E)
2009
A weak measure of noncompactness γU is defined in a Banach space in terms of convex compactness. We obtain relationships between the measure γU(A) of a bounded set A in the Bochner space L1(μ,E) and two parameters Π(A) and Λ1(A).
Denjoy and P-path integrals on compact groups in an inversion formula for multiplicative transforms
2009
Abstract Denjoy and P-path Kurzweil-Henstock type integrals are defined on compact subsets of some locally compact zero-dimensional abelian groups. Those integrals are applied to obtain an inversion formula for the multiplicative integral transform.

Generalized functions are here intended to mean a particular class V˜(Ω) of ultrafunctions, i.e. functions defined on a non-Archimedean field that extends a class V(Ω) of L2(Ω)-integrable continuous functions. The particular class of ultrafunctions is selected by some desiderata to obtain the properties sufficient for applications to PDE. One of these is to maintain the locality property of a local operator defined on V(Ω) when it is extended to V˜(Ω). This fact is related to the possibility of defining a sort of orthogonality between "Delta ultrafunctions''. The results are applied to the definition of the derivative operator, the definite integral and to associate an ultrafunction to ever…
On fixed points of alpha-eta-psi-contractive multifunctions
2014
Recently Samet et al. [B. Samet, C. Vetro, P. Vetro, Fixed point theorem for alpha-psi-contractive type mappings, Nonlinear Anal., 75 (2012), 2154{2165] introduced the notion of alpha-psi-contractive type mappings and established some fixed point theorems in complete metric spaces. Succesively, Asl et al. [J.H. Asl, SH. Rezapour, N. Shahzad, On fixed point of alpha-contractive multifunctions, Fixed Point Theory Appl., 2012, 212 (2012)] introduced the notion of alpha_*-psi-contractive multifunctions and give a fixed point result for these multifunctions. In this paper we obtain certain new fixed point and common fixed point theorems via alpha_*-admissible multifuncions with respect to eta. T…
A decomposition of Denjoy-Khintchine-Pettis and Henstock-Kurzweil-Pettis integrable multifunctions
2010
We proved in one of our earlier papers that in case of separable Banach space valued multifunctions each Henstock-Kurzweil-Pettis integrable multifunction can be represented as a sum of one of its Henstock-Kurzweil-Pettis integrable selector and a Pettis integrable multifunction. Now, we prove that the same result can be achieved in case of an arbitrary Banach space. Moreover we show that an analogous result holds true also for the Denjoy-Khintchine-Pettis integrable multifunctions. Applying the representation theorem we describe the multipliers of HKP and DKP integrable functions. Then we use this description to obtain an operator characterization of HKP and DKP integrability.
