Supportive Parenting Buffers the Effects of Low Peer Acceptance on Children’s Internalizing Problem Behaviors
2019
Background Children who are not accepted in their peer group are at risk of developing internalizing problem behaviors. It is possible, however, that supportive parenting can provide a buffer against the detrimental effects of low peer acceptance. Objective This study examined maternal and paternal affection and psychological control as moderators of the association between children’s peer acceptance during the critical transition to primary school and level and subsequent development of internalizing problem behaviors from first to sixth grade. Method A total of 608 children (264 girls, 344 boys) were rated by their teachers on their internalizing problems in grades 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6. Child…
Reliability of adapted version of Italian Label tobacco Impact Index for the adolescent: ALII
2017
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to assess the reliability of the Adolescent Label Impact Index (ALII) , it is an adolescent adapted version of Italian LII of the tobacco products warnings. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A sample including students aged 13-15 years was considered. The ALII is constructed by 4 items: salience, harm, quitting and forgo. The questionnaire was self-administered to study participants twice with 3 days between each administration (T1 and T2) to measure reliability. The internal consistency using Cronbach's alpha and Corrected Item-Total Correlations (CITC) and the test-retest reliability applying Pearson's correlation were computed. RESULTS: Cronbach's alpha ranges fro…
Motor imagery in unipolar major depression.
2014
Background: Motor imagery is a potential tool to investigate action representation, as it can provide insights into the processes of action planning and preparation. Recent studies suggest that depressed patients present specific impairment in mental rotation. The present study was designed to investigate the influence of unipolar depression on motor imagery ability. Methods: Fourteen right-handed patients meeting DSM-IV criteria for unipolar depression were compared to 14 matched healthy controls. Imagery ability was accessed by the timing correspondence between executed and imagined movements during a pointing task, involving strong spatiotemporal constraints (speed/accuracy trade-off par…
Associations of neuroticism with falls in older adults : do psychological factors mediate the association?
2020
OBJECTIVES Neuroticism predicts falls in older people. In addition, concern about falling and depressive symptoms are associated with fall risk. This study examined whether concern about falling and depressive symptoms mediate the association between neuroticism and falls. METHOD Cross-sectional data on 314 community-dwelling people aged 70–85 years were utilized. Neuroticism was assessed with a short modified form of the Eysenck Personality Inventory. Indoor and outdoor falls during the past year were self-reported. Concern about falling was assessed with the Falls Efficacy Scale-International and depressive symptoms with the Geriatric Depression Scale-15. Path modeling was used to examine…
Bilancio dello Stato italiano e contesti socio-economici. Un’analisi evolutiva in chiave economico-aziendale.
2020
Il volume analizza l'evoluzione del bilancio dello Stato italiano alla luce delle influenze dei principali contesti che hanno inciso sui suoi cambiamenti. In particolare, si mettono in evidenza le relazioni esistenti fra i contesti economico-sociali e le funzioni assegnate al bilancio dello Stato. I risultati della ricerca mostrano come nel contesto della finanza pubblica neutrale, il bilancio dello Stato sia essenzialmente uno strumento accertativo-contabile e di rendicontazione. Con il passaggio al contesto della finanza pubblica attiva, il bilancio pubblico diventa uno strumento a servizio della programmazione economica. Successivamente, nel contesto dell'aziendalizzazione della pubblica…
Estar al otro lado de la mesa. Profesionales de los servicios públicos de empleo ante los dilemas de la activación laboral
2019
Under the paradigm of activation, the Public Employment Services has been reshaped by two levels of contractualization. On one hand, the collaboration of the administration with a network of agents on the programme scheme that make up the active policies of employment. On the other hand, the unemployed person?s access to a compartmentalized offer of services and individually taking responsibility for finding work. This double contractualization reveals redefinition of lowering public responsibility faced with the problem of unemployment that this activation supposes. This paper analyses how this redesign has an impact on how professionals serve the unemployed population. This lays bare, in …
Public health as a limit to the right to scientific research in the case of vaccines
2022
El auge del movimiento antivacunas en general, y las investigaciones y publicaciones científicas que desacreditan la vacunación en particular, representan una seria amenaza para la salud pública. Puesto que en nombre de estaúltima pueden limitarse derechos y libertades fundamentales, podría pensarse que, en nombre de la salud pública, podría limitarse también la investigación y difusión de material científico que cuestione la práctica de la vacunación. El objetivo de este artículo será comprobar si esa hipótesis es compatible con el actual régimen de derechos y libertades, y señalar el mejor modo de hacerfrente al discurso antivacunas. The boom of the anti-vaccine movement in general, and s…
Projektowane zmiany w regulacji prawnej planowania przestrzennego w Polsce w świetle Europejskiego Zielonego Ładu
2022
Artykuł przedstawia dyskutowane obecnie na świecie zagadnienia związane z pojawieniem się nowych instrumentów mających na celu zapewnienie zrównoważonego rozwoju w kontekście rozważanej obecnie reformy systemu planowania i zagospodarowania przestrzennego w Polsce. W Europie przedmiotem szczególnej uwagi jest wizja nowego paradygmatu rozwoju przewidziana w ramach Europejskiego Zielonego Ładu. Obejmuje on nie tylko kwestie związane z problematyką zmian klimatu (czy szerzej ochrony środowiska) czy też np. tak istotną obecnie samowystarczalność energetyczną Europy, ale też przewiduje konkretne instrumenty służące wdrażaniu nowej wizji rozwoju oraz wskazuje na konieczność rozszerzenia udziału sp…

Ultrafast Interface Charge Separation in Carbon Nanodot-Nanotube Hybrids
2021
Carbon dots are an emerging family of zero-dimensional nanocarbons behaving as tunable light harvesters and photoactivated charge donors. Coupling them to carbon nanotubes, which are well-known electron acceptors with excellent charge transport capabilities, is very promising for several applications. Here, we first devised a route to achieve the stable electrostatic binding of carbon dots to multi- or single-walled carbon nanotubes, as confirmed by several experimental observations. The photoluminescence of carbon dots is strongly quenched when they contact either semiconductive or conductive nanotubes, indicating a strong electronic coupling to both. Theoretical simulations predict a favo…
