La kafalah e la sua circolazione nello spazio giuridico europeo: una indagine di diritto comparato
2019
L’intento dell’indagine è provare a rileggere con un approccio comparatistico la reazione che l’alieno, ovvero la kafalah internazionale, innesca nel confronto con tradizioni e ordina- menti giuridici lontani rispetto al mondo da cui esso proviene, nello spazio giuridico europeo. Si è ritenuto di osservare dapprima le varie strategie di regolazione adottate dagli stati nazio- nali con riguardo all’efficacia giuridica della kafalah negli ordinamenti interni, focalizzando l’attenzione in particolar modo sugli sforzi di giurisprudenza e dottrina tesi a individuare un “equivalente” dell’istituto straniero nello strumentario di diritto di famiglia nazionale per la protezione del minore.

Processing of a spoken narrative in the human brain is shaped by family cultural background
2020
ABSTRACTUsing neuroimaging, we studied influence of family cultural background on processing of an audiobook in human brain. The audiobook depicted life of two young Finnish men, one with the Finnish and the other with the Russian family background. Shared family cultural background enhanced similarity of narrative processing in the brain at prelexical, word, sentence, and narrative levels. Similarity was also enhanced in brain areas supporting imagery. The cultural background was further reflected as semantic differences in word lists by which the subjects described what had been on their minds when they heard the audiobook during neuroimaging. Strength of social identity shaped word, sent…

2016
Few studies examine intercultural relations in emerging adulthood.

Additionally, the moderating role of context was analysed. A two-group structural equation modelling was performed on data collected from 305 Italian emerging adults living both in northern and in southern Italy with different socio-political climates towards immigrants. In both groups, tolerance and perceived consequences of immigration me…
