The aim of this study was to analyze the distribution of oral pigmented lesions in a Brazilian population. Material and Methods A retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study was performed. Oral pigmented lesions were retrieved from the files of two oral and maxillofacial pathology services from Brazil over a 45-year period (1974-2019). The clinical data and the diagnoses of each case were retrieved and included in a Microsoft Excel® database. Results From 77.074 lesions diagnosed in this period, 76…

Italy in Uncertain Times: Europeanizing Foreign Policy in the Declining Proces of the American Hegemony

2019

Il libro analizza l'influenza dei cambiamenti nell'ordine internazionale egemonico a guida americana sulle variazioni nei pilastri tradizionali della politica estera italiana (USA, UE e multilateralismo) ed il ruolo che l'Italia gioca all'interno di quell'ordine. Per esplorare queste variazioni, il libro propone un'analisi del comportamento di voto e di sponsorizzazione dell'Italia alle Nazioni Unite nel periodo 2000-2017, guardando sia all'Assemblea Generale sia al Consiglio di Sicurezza, ed enfatizza l'importanza di quest'ultima sede per individuare i riflessi dei cambiamenti nel sistema internazionale sul comportamento italiano.

Nuove dipendenze del terzo millennio: l'utilizzo di steroidi anabolizzanti come sostanza d'abuso

2005

Obiettivo. L'abuso di sostanze anabolizzanti si sta configurando come un problema di rilevanza psicosociale. L'uso di steroidi anabolizzanti in questi ultimi anni si è spostato dalla pratica sportiva professionale allo sport amatoriale e ad ambiti occupazionali particolari (buttafuori, modelli, ect.). La letteratura indica l'assuntore di steroidi come un poliassuntore che mette in atto condotte pericolose e aggressive per sé e per gli altri. L'obiettivo di questo studio è indagare le abitudini, le condotte di vita e il profilo psicologico di un gruppo di soggetti che frequentano centri sportivi nella città di Palermo (Italia), per verificare come l'utilizzo sconsiderato di sostanze anaboliz…

Parent–Infant Attachment Insecurity and Emotional Eating in Adolescence: Mediation through Emotion Suppression and Alexithymia

2021

Contains fulltext : 233652.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access) Emotional eating (EE), the propensity to eat in response to emotions, is thought to have its origins in the early parent-infant relationship. This study tested the hypothesis that infant attachment insecurity results in EE in adolescence through the increased use of the emotion regulation strategy suppression of emotions and subsequent alexithymia. At the age of 15 months, parent-infant attachment security (n = 129) was observed with two abbreviated attachment measures: the shortened strange situation procedure (SSSP), and the shortened attachment Q-set (S-AQS). At the age of 12 years, children completed self-report questio…

Pre-sleep arousal and sleep quality during the COVID-19 lockdown in Italy

2021

Abstract Objective The COVID-19 pandemic has strongly affected daily habits and psychological wellbeing, and many studies point to large modifications in several sleep and sleep-related domains. Nevertheless, pre-sleep arousal during the pandemic has been substantially overlooked. Since hyperarousal represents one of the main factors for the development and the perpetuation of chronic insomnia disorder, the assessment of variables associated with high levels of pre-sleep arousal during the pandemic is clinically relevant. The study aimed to assess the prevalence and predictors of perceived sleep quality and pre-sleep arousal in an Italian sample during the COVID-19 lockdown. Methods We used…

Evidence of conservative treatment for overuse injuries analysis of systematic reviews

2011

Overuse injuries are common among top athletes and people who exercise regularly. Conservative, non-pharmacological methods are used widely to treat overuse injuries and there is a large body of literature, including multiple systematic reviews, evaluating different terms of treatment. This literature needs summarizing and critiquing. Objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of different methods of conservative treatment on overuse injuries and to provide an analysis of systematic reviews. Published systematic reviews were identified by searching Medline, PEDro, Cochrane and Sportdiscus databases from the year 1996 to July 2010. Reference lists of identified studies were al…

Robežlīmeņa personības traucējumu izplatība studentiem Latvijā

2021

Nosaukums: “Robežlīmeņa personības traucējumu izplatība studentiem Latvijā.” Ievads: Robežlīmeņa personības traucējumi (RPT) vispārējā populācijā ir aptuveni 1%. Savukārt universitātes un koledžas studentu populācijā šis skaitlis var sasniegt vidēji pat 16,5%, jo studenti saskaras ar lielu stresu, kas kombinējoties ar nediagnosticētiem RPT un sabiedrības spiedienu nelabvēlīgi ietekmē studentus ilgtermiņā. Mērķi: Noteikt RPT izplatību studentu populācijā Latvijā, salīdzināt to izplatību saistībā ar dzimumu un vecumu. Materiāli un metodes: Šķērsgriezuma pilotpētījums tika veikts Latvijā tiešsaistes aptaujas veidā laika posmā no 2021.gada 1.februāra līdz 1.martam COVID-19 pandēmijas laikā. Lai…

Managing Teachers' Job Attitudes: The Potential Benefits of Being a Happy and Emotional Intelligent Teacher

2021

According to the broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions, the frequency of positive emotions is associated with the development of positive attitudes, cognitions, and behaviors in organizational contexts. However, positive and negative attitudes at work might also be influenced by different personal and job resources. While emotional intelligence has been significantly associated with positive job attitudes and personal well-being, no studies have yet examined the joint role of teacher happiness and emotional intelligence in key teacher job attitudes. The present study assesses whether emotional intelligence interacts with levels of teacher happiness to jointly explain important teach…

Highmann's Theorem on Discrete Sets

2006

In this paper we investigate properties of different classes of discrete sets with respect to the partial-order of subpicture. In particular we take in consideration the classes of convex polyominoes and L-convex polyominoes. In the first part of the paper we study closure properties of these classes with respect the order and we give a new characterization of L-convex polyominoes. In the second part we pose the question to extend Higman’s theoremto discrete sets. We give a negative answer in the general case and we prove that the set of L-convex polyominoes is well-partially-ordered by using a representation of L-convex polyominoes in terms of words of a regular language.
