The invisible violence. The denial of relational trauma and its consequences in early childhood.
2016
Abstract The paper is aimed at the analysis of recognition and legitimacy problems, historically present in the study of psychological trauma, as well as to opening reflections on the possibility that these difficulties are still current. Recent contributions on the study of the developmental trauma disorder mainly highlight the importance of relational and cumulative aspects and during the developmental cycle when the subject experiences his/her traumatic events. Multiple exposures to interpersonal trauma in fact have a stronger impact on the first decade of life, resulting in predictable consequences on at least seven mental functioning areas. Several authors propose a new diagnostic labe…
Semi-natural habitats in the European boreal region: Caught in the socio-ecological extinction vortex?
2022
AbstractWe propose to consider semi-natural habitats—hotspots for biodiversity—being caught in a socio-ecological extinction vortex, similar to the phenomenon described for species threatened with extinction. These habitats are essentially socioecological systems, in which socioeconomic drivers are interlinked with ecological processes. We identify four highly interlinked and mutually reinforcing socio-economic processes, pertaining to the importance of semi-natural habitats for (i) agricultural production, (ii) policy, research and development; (iii) vocational education in the fields of agricultural sciences and (iv) public’s experiences with semi-natural habitats. Evidence from six count…
Contract for the Supply of Digital Content
2014
The main aspects of a contract for the supply of digital content are analysed in this chapter. This can be seen as the most novel part of the proposed Regulation of the European Union, and is certainly a very important part of the final content of the proposal. This type of contract is a logical consequence of the development of information technology and communication, and the evolution of an information society and knowledge economy.
Effects of environment and genotype on dispersal differ across departure, transfer and settlement in a butterfly metapopulation
2022
Active dispersal is driven by extrinsic and intrinsic factors at the three stages of departure, transfer and settlement. Most empirical studies capture only one stage of this complex process, and knowledge of how much can be generalized from one stage to another remains unknown. Here we use genetic assignment tests to reconstruct dispersal across 5 years and 232 habitat patches of a Glanville fritillary butterfly ( Melitaea cinxia ) metapopulation. We link individual dispersal events to weather, landscape structure, size and quality of habitat patches, and individual genotype to identify the factors that influence the three stages of dispersal and post-settlement survival. We found that ne…
Probabilistic Logic under Coherence, Model-Theoretic Probabilistic Logic, and Default Reasoning
2001
We study probabilistic logic under the viewpoint of the coherence principle of de Finetti. In detail, we explore the relationship between coherence-based and model-theoretic probabilistic logic. Interestingly, we show that the notions of g-coherence and of g-coherent entailment can be expressed by combining notions in model-theoretic probabilistic logic with concepts from default reasoning. Crucially, we even show that probabilistic reasoning under coherence is a probabilistic generalization of default reasoning in system P. That is, we provide a new probabilistic semantics for system P, which is neither based on infinitesimal probabilities nor on atomic-bound (or also big-stepped) probabil…
The Infinite-Valued Łukasiewicz Logic and Probability
2017
The paper concerns the algebraic structure of the set of cumulative distribution functions as well as the relationship between the resulting algebra and the infinite-valued Łukasiewicz algebra. The paper also discusses interrelations holding between the logical systems determined by the above algebras.

All that glitters is not gold. The rise of gaming in the COVID-19 pandemic
2020
Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an unprecedented situation, with incalculable health, social, and economic consequences. At the start of the outbreak, the financial markets collapsed, although not all sectors suffered equally. The gaming and eSports industry is one of those that has suffered the least from the fall in the markets. Millions of people locked up at home, bored, stressed, and anguished, gave gaming and eSports companies growing prominence throughout the first half of 2020. This prominence has elicited interest in analyzing which variables can influence the returns in an industry in better financial health than many others. Using a logit–probit model, this research aim…
<title>Tradeoff between environmental impacts and economic benefits?: A case study of the Finnish and British pulp and paper industries</tit…
2001
Due to the increased used paper collection rates in Western Europe, more recycled fibre will be used in the manufacture of paper. This will affect both the environmental and economic performance of the pulp and paper industry. The potential for the increase of the collection rate varies significantly in different countries in western Europe. In some countries the collection rate is already close to 70% (Austria, Germany) and in others it is around 45% (Italy, United Kingdom). With the increased demand for recycled fibre also the collection will increase. When the collection of waste paper is increased something has to be done with the collected paper. Different utilisation modes results in …
A propósito del desarrollo sostenible: Origen, evolución y teorías alternativas
2016
Resumen . El Desarrollo Sostenible representa el modelo de desarrollo al que todas las sociedades deberian aspirar con el objetivo de mantener en equilibrio el sistema ecologico de nuestro Planeta, al menos para conservarlo tal como hoy lo conocemos. De no ser asi, las condiciones de vida existentes corren peligro de cambiar drasticamente y las consecuencias a nivel ambiental, social y economico podrian ser catastroficas. Desde la acunacion oficial del concepto, del que ya han pasado casi 30 anos, los principios del Desarrollo Sostenible (a pesar de la mayor concienciacion social y politica) todavia quedan muy distantes de una aplicacion real y de una consecucion optima de sus objetivos. Lo…
Lab And/Or Field? Measuring Personality Processes and Their Social Consequences
2015
How can researchers study personality processes and their social consequences? In our methodology overview, we first introduce ambulatory assessment methods, which repeatedly measure experiences, physiology and behaviour in people's daily lives based on real–time assessments of self–reports, physiological activity and behavioural observations. Then, we describe methods suitable for assessing personality processes in laboratory settings: self–reports on interpersonal perception, physiological measurements and behavioural observation. We discuss the combination of field and laboratory assessment methods based on their respective strengths and limitations and then highlight ethical issues sur…
