Nonni caregiver e famiglie headed by grandparents
2020
The volume begins with a reflection on the multiple and changing forms that contemporary families have assumed. The new trends in the social sciences emphasize, in fact, an increasingly accentuated gap between the nuclear family, a union between "the social and the legal" and a multitude of new family models, a synthesis of choices and assumptions of responsibility in the perspective of care and of the well-being of the other. There are numerous studies that in the most recent period investigate the transformation of the family, an institution present in all human societies.

For a History of Anthropology in the Plural
2023
What are the reasons behind the “scientific” positioning that anthropology had adopted since its origins up to a few decades ago? They were certainly cognitive reasons, but they were intertwined with political concerns, ideological frameworks and cultural references. The urge to gain academic legitimacy, reliance on “Western-centric” perspectives and the aspiration to build broad, universal knowledge all played a role. Another significant role was played by its involvement in the project and the projection of colonial supremacy. These are all implicit factors that started to take on an increasingly deliberate problematic form, and finally culminated in the “crisis of representation”, fallin…

2016

Er det sammenheng mellom oppvarmet CO2 gass, postoperative smerter og hypotermi ved laparaskopiske inngrep? : en kvantitativ undersøkelse
2016
Masteroppgave i spesialsykepleie – Universitetet i Agder 2016 Background: A common complication to laparoscopic procedures is postoperative shoulder pain. As a result of a surgical procedure, the patient is also exposed to hypothermia. There are various theories of the causes of postoperative shoulder pain and hypothermia. One of them suggest that the internal environment in the abdomen changes by insufflation of standard CO2 gas, and that this may result in peritoneal changes. Previous studies show that heated CO2 gas can reduce postoperative pain and hypothermia by laparoscopic surgery. Surgical and intensive patient is in a vulnerable situation, and the reflection on the operation and in…
Il diavolo, il turco, il giudeo. Rappresentazioni dell’«altro» nella cultura tradizionale siciliana
2020
Oggi forse più di ieri, la ricerca affannosa dell’identità sospinge verso la creazione «di un’alterità assoluta che incombe come un nemico minaccioso» (al-T. Labīb 2006: 29). E questa richiesta di identità collettiva si cimenta nel recupero, nella costruzione, talora nell’invenzione di memorie condivise, nella costruzione e ri-costruzione di un ipotetico passato comunemente vissuto che si fonda su eventi, reali o immaginari (e per questo non meno “veri”) considerati cruciali (Lewis 2000: 27). Il turcu niuru, o più semplicemente u turcu, figura archetipica dell’immaginario mitico-rituale, condensato «di ogni pregiudizio antiarabo e anti islamico» (Said 2001: 35) era e resta, a dispetto di og…
ABOUT THE IDENTITY AND OBJECTIVES OF TOURIST LAW
2019
This paper undertakes the considerations on the issues of the identity of law in tourism. Law in tourism is one of many disciplines that has a complex and comprehensive character. As in the financial law or the public procurement law, in the tourist law simple dichotomous divisions into private law, public law does not bring the expected results. In such cases, the justifications for distin-guishing the law in tourism and seeking criteria for independence and identity lie outside the disciplinary divisions. In case of law in tourism, the reference to the methodological criteria for justifyingits distinctiveness seems less convincing. One of the possible ways to demonstrate the distinctivene…
