"Un'epoca di servitù e abiezione". Il viceregno spagnolo nelle pagine della storiografia siciliana dell'Ottocento.
2009
This essay analyses certain passages by the 19th century Sicilian historiography on the Spanish vice-reign in the island where the main tendency was the anti-Spanish movement. The joint opinion of the historians, here analyzed, consisted of a great love for their country based on a nostalgic cult of its indipendent reign and its institutions. The latter were a constant reason of consolation compared to the present reality, which seemed very disappointing and awkward if compared with the "mythical" previos ages. Scrofani, Palmeri, Lanza di Scordia and La Lumia are the historians considered in the essay: their works remain some of the most significant of the century historiography in defining…

Cercavano la luce. Storia sanitaria delle zolfare di Sicilia
2012
Il volume monografico è dedicato alla storia sanitaria dei solfatari di Sicilia nel periodo compreso tra la fine del 1800 e la chiusura degli insediamenti estrattivi avvenuta agli inizi degli anni '60. La narrazione, nel cogliere i problemi di salute di questa popolazione di operai, esplora lo sforzo delle istituzioni per il loro riscatto, i provvedimenti sanitari che sono stati assunti e le motivazioni etiche che le hanno determinate.
Diversità di genere e sistema sanitario: un’analisi su un campione di aziende sanitarie italiane
2022
Il lavoro analizza in che misura la diversità di genere fa parte delle attuali pratiche delle aziende sanitarie. Attraverso un’analisi di tipo statistico-inferenziale su un campione di 39 strutture ospedaliere appartenenti al Gruppo San Donato, ha lo scopo di valutare se la presenza delle donne nel CdA influenza la performance aziendale. I risultati suggeriscono che la diversità nelle aziende sanitarie è un tema poco esplorato e non mancano opportunità e ostacoli al percorso di carriera delle donne. L’analisi di correlazione e regressione conferma che la presenza delle donne è positivamente correlata all’indice di performance delle strutture; la strada per arrivare alla parità non è breve e…
Gender Violence: Social Structure in Latin America, the question of victim and trauma.
2014
In this article, I firstly argue that femicide is a word that indicates the psychological and physical violence against women because they belong to the female gender. I analyze in particular the femicide cases that took place in the border between Ciudad Juarez and Texas from 1993 until now, in addition to the cases on the border between Tijuana and Baja California. During this period more than 700 women were murdered in the border area between Ciudad Juarez and El Paso, still the criminals of these brutal homicides are unknown. The reason for the lack of justice can be explained through institutional corruption and the existence of a patriarchal society. Through an interdisciplinary appro…
Automatic differentiation of melanoma from dysplastic nevi.
2015
International audience; Malignant melanoma causes the majority of deaths related to skin cancer. Nevertheless, it is the most treatable one, depending on its early diagnosis. The early prognosis is a challenging task for both clinicians and dermatologist, due to the characteristic similarities of melanoma with other skin lesions such as dysplastic nevi. In the past decades, several computerized lesion analysis algorithms have been proposed by the research community for detection of melanoma. These algorithms mostly focus on differentiating melanoma from benign lesions and few have considered the case of melanoma against dysplastic nevi. In this paper, we consider the most challenging task a…
Sull’espressione non prototipica dell’agentività nei testi siciliani del XIV secolo
2009
L’esistenza di più opzioni lessicali per la codifica dell’agente nelle costruzioni passive dell’italoromanzo è sempre stata assunta come semplice dato di fatto. Tuttavia, un’analisi accurata dei testi rivela l’esistenza di una distribuzione funzionale, che si manifesta in modo coerente, sebbene non identico, nei diversi vernacoli. Sulla base di quest’osservazione, viene formulata e testata l’ipotesi secondo cui tale distribuzione sia semanticamente determinata: essa si motiva nel tipo di rappresentazione dell’evento codificato dalle due preposizioni, che articola in forme diverse la nozione di agentività. Sullo sfondo di un approccio teorico di matrice cognitivista e sulla base di un esame …
Does self-acceptance captured by life narratives and self-report predict mental health? A longitudinal multi-method approach
2019
Abstract We aimed to investigate the validity of different self-acceptance measures to predict mental health. Self-acceptance and negative life events, assessed via self-report and rated from life narratives (N = 149), served as predictors of mental health at baseline (T1) and four years later (T2). Path models showed distinguishable, complementary effects of self-reports and other-ratings. A moderate congruence of self- and other-ratings of self-acceptance was observed. Exploratory analyses revealed an association of self-acceptance with emotional words in life narratives. Controlling for negative life events, a positive link and a moderating effect of self-acceptance on mental health at T…
Improving the security of multiple passwords through a greater understanding of the human memory
2016
Multiple passwords are an increasing security issue that will only get worse with time. One of the major factors that compromise multiple passwords is users’ memory, and the behaviors they adopt to compensate for its failures. Through studying memory elements that influence users’ password memorability, we may increase our understanding of the user and therefore make proposals to increase the security of the password authentication mechanism. This dissertation examines the human memory to understand password security behaviors; and moreover, develops new theories and revises prominent memory theories for the password context. This research employs memory theories to not only increase the me…
Materialitäten der Kindheit
2020
Der Band fasst aktuelle Theorieperspektiven und Forschungsbefunde zur Bedeutung von Körpern, Objekten und Räumen in der interdisziplinären Kindheitsforschung zusammen. Es wird gezeigt, in welchem Maße diese Materialitäten daran mitwirken, dass sich bestimmte gesellschaftliche Kindheitsmuster und -erfahrungen ausbilden und wie material die Positionierungs- und Subjektivierungsprozesse von Kindern als Kinder gedacht werden müssen.
