Partecipazione ed appartenenza nell’ottica di un nuovo pensiero islamico. Associazionismo e partitismo di stampo frerista in Italia
2018
L’obiettivo del presente saggio consiste nell’analizzare le traiettorie partecipative delle seconde generazioni di italo-egiziani con particolare riferimento alla loro partecipazione nel contesto delle primavere arabe. Di particolare interesse sarà la trattazione delle loro appartenenza identitaria e di come questa si traduca, eventualmente, in un percorso politico definito o vago, legato all’Egitto e/o all’Italia, capace di o meno di fornire un apporto a quel nuovo ijtihad cui facevamo prima riferimento. Ci siamo concentrati sulla Fratellanza musulmana e le sue ramificazioni italiane al fine osservare quanto e come queste seconde generazioni possano contribuire al rinnovamento di un pensie…
«Roumain italiens»: pastoralisme et dynamiques migratoires dans le troisième millénaire
2011
This paper considers the phenomenon of migration, by proposing a case study upon the migration of Romanians in Italy. As a consequence of the access of Romania in the UE in January 2007, Romanians became citizens of UE, but, nevertheless, they are not aware of their rights and juridical statute and continue to live in a state of subordination and humility in their interaction with their employers. They do not rebel, since they are afraid of losing their working place. This is a step backwards as to the process of integration, which, as Buttitta noticed, should not lead to a "standardization of the immigrants to the culture of the host country, but to an acceptance of immigrants, as part of …
Teatro Bene Comune: Gedanken zum italienischen Theaterfrühling
2019
This contribution describes and reevaluates the Occupied Theatre Movements in Italy (2010-2017) from a marxist and post-structuralist perspective. It situates the theatre occupations in Italy in a broader genealogy of social movements and gives a phenomenological analysis of the specific forms of community-building that caracterize contemporary critique from the Left.
The State of the Art of Planning In Europe: Italy
2015
An enquiry on the status of planning in Italy. The role of planning in Italy is now in crisis, and this crisis has been going on for more than a decade. As a consequence, planning practitioners face a hard time when trying to deal with the national political framework and to relate to most important topics, such as commons, public spaces, environmental threats, and so on. In the widespread context of the neoliberal turn, Italy has been experiencing a growing attraction towards everything that is private, and a strong rejection of all that is public. However, planning proficiencies are still requested in those cases where civil society activates bottom-up processes for local transformation p…
Quale nucleare per l’energia? Energia nucleare e problema morale
2021
Questo XIV Rapporto della Società Geografica Italiana affronta il tema dell’energia, che più di altri, non può essere traguardato dal punto di vista di un solo Paese, dato che basterà riandare alla quantità di implicazioni politiche e militari che, nel corso degli ultimi cent’anni almeno, attorno al controllo delle fonti di energia si sono manifestate in tutte le regioni del globo. Il paragrafo, nello specifico, riguarda l'energia nucleare in Italia. This 14th Report of the Italian Geographic Society addresses the issue of energy, which more than others cannot be addressed from the point of view of a single country, given that it will suffice to go back to the quantity of political and mil…
The Dimensions of Facebook Addiction as Measured by Facebook Addiction Italian Questionnaire and Their Relationships with Individual Differences
2017
Abstract The studies reported analyze the factorial structure of Facebook Addiction Italian Questionnaire (FAIQ), a variant of 20-item Young's Internet Addiction Test (IAT). In Study 1, we tested FAIQ psychometric properties using exploratory factor analysis (EFA). In Study 2, we performed a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to verify the FAIQ factorial structure identified through EFA. Results from CFA confirm the presence of a four-factor model accounting for 58 percent of total variance, plus a general higher order factor that best fits the data. Further relationships between FAIQ factor scores, personality, and Facebook usage have been explored.
Differences in achievement not in intelligence in the north and south of Italy: Comments on Lynn (2010a, 2010b)
2012
Lynn (2010a, 2010b) argued that individuals from south Italy have a lower IQ than individuals from north Italy, and that these differences in IQ are at the basis of north–south gap in income, education, infant mortality, stature, and literacy. In the present paper, we discuss several theoretical and methodological aspects which we regard as flaws of Lynn's studies. Moreover, we report scores of southern Italian children on Raven's Progressive Matrices and a north–south comparison for the PASS theory of intelligence as measured by the Cognitive Assessment System (Taddei & Naglieri, 2006). Both results reveal similar levels of performance of northern and southern Italian children in fluid int…
Self-Perceived Health, Objective Health, and Quality of Life among People Aged 50 and Over: Interrelationship among Health Indicators in Italy, Spain…
2020
It is well known that self-perceived health (SPH), even if it is a subjective health indicator, is significantly associated with objective health and quality of life (QoL) in the general population. Whether it can be considered an indicator of cognitive functioning and quality of life in the elderly is still an open issue. This study used a data-driven approach to investigate the interrelationship among SPH, non-communicable diseases (NCDs), QoL, and cognitive functioning to answer this question. The study sample included information about 12,831 people living in Italy, Spain, and Greece, extracted from the Survey on Health, Aging, and Retirement in Europe, in the year 2015. The additive Ba…
Cognitive vulnerability to depressive symptoms in children: the protective role of self-efficacy beliefs in a multi-wave longitudinal study.
2014
The current multi-wave longitudinal study on childhood examined the role that social and academic self-efficacy beliefs and cognitive vulnerabilities play in predicting depressive symptoms in response to elevations in idiographic stressors. Children (N = 554; males: 51.4 %) attending second and third grade completed measures of depressive symptoms, negative cognitive styles, negative life events, and academic and social self-efficacy beliefs at four time-points over 6 months. Results showed that high levels of academic and social self-efficacy beliefs predicted lower levels of depressive symptoms, whereas negative cognitive styles about consequences predicted higher depression. Furthermore,…
Emotional intelligence in children with severe sleep-related breathing disorders
2019
Background. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) affects up to 4% of a pediatric population, with many comorbidities in the medium-long term. Functional alterations in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) may explain why OSAS impacts aspects such as executive functions, memory, motor control, attention, visual-spatial skills, learning, and mood regulation. Emotional intelligence (EI) is a complex neuropsychological function that could be impaired in many clinical conditions. Purpose. The aim of the study is to evaluate the difference in emotional intelligence skills among children with OSAS and healthy subjects (nOSAS). Methods. 129 children (72 males; mean age 7.64±1.98 years) affected by OSAS w…
