Young adults personal concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic in Finland: an issue for social concern

2020

PurposeThis study focuses on how young adults face the COVID-19 pandemic by investigating their personal concerns about mental well-being, career/studies and economic situation. The authors investigated how young adults' (aged 18–29) personal concerns differ from older people's concerns (aged 30–65) and which person- and context-related antecedents relate to personal concerns.Design/methodology/approachData of Finnish young adults aged 18–29 (n = 222), who participated in the “Corona Consumers” survey (N = 1,000) in April 2020, were analyzed by path analysis and compared to participants aged 30–65 by independent samples t-test.FindingsYoung adults were significantly more concerned about the…

Micropollutants throughout an integrated urban drainage model: Sensitivity and uncertainty analysis

2017

Abstract The paper presents the sensitivity and uncertainty analysis of an integrated urban drainage model which includes micropollutants. Specifically, a bespoke integrated model developed in previous studies has been modified in order to include the micropollutant assessment (namely, sulfamethoxazole – SMX). The model takes into account also the interactions between the three components of the system: sewer system (SS), wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and receiving water body (RWB). The analysis has been applied to an experimental catchment nearby Palermo (Italy): the Nocella catchment. Overall, five scenarios, each characterized by different uncertainty combinations of sub-systems (i.e…

study question: Are attachment anxiety and avoidance dimensions in female and male partners in couples seeking infertility treat- ment associated with her and his infertility-related stress? summary answer: Attachment dimensions are significantly associated with several aspects of infertility stress in couples undergoing IVF treatment. what is known and what this paper adds: Attachment dimensions of anxiety and avoidance (where highly anxious individuals fear rejection and are preoccupied with maintaining proximity to their partner and highly avoidant individuals are uncomfortable with intimacy and prefer to maintain distance from their partner) may influence the well being of individuals u…

Political risks: the “red shift” in debt sustainability analysis

2020

Political stability and economic policy uncertainty can be key determinants of sovereign debt dynamics, and we show how they can be incorporated in debt sustainability analysis. We distinguish between short-term ambiguity and long-term uncertainty about political risk factors, and using a combination of narrative scenarios and calibrated probabilistic scenarios we obtain a comprehensive heatmap of high-risk debt dynamics. We use Italy as an interesting case study and demonstrate a “red shift” in the assessment of vulnerabilities when accounting for political risks. Ignoring these risks can lead to excessive optimism and wrong decisions.

La stabilità del sistema politico istituzionale e l'incertezza riguardo le politiche economiche sono due fattori chiave che possono influenzare la dinamica del debito pubblico. Nell'articolo si propone un modello di analisi della sostenibilità del debito sovrano che tenga conto dei fattori di rischio concernenti l'assetto istituzionale di un paese e le sue politiche economiche. In particolare distinguendo fra ambiguità a breve termine e incertezza a lungo termine dei fattori di rischio politico e utilizzando una combinazione di scenari narrativi e scenari probabilistici si costruisce una "heatmap" che permette di attribuire ad ogni politica fiscale la probabilità che l'obiettivo di riduzione dello stock di debito o del deficit sia soddisfatto. Il modello è applicato al caso Italia. I risultati mostrano un "red shift" della vulnerabilità del debito pubblico italiano quando sono inclusi nell'analisi i fattori di rischio politico. Si può quindi concludere che ignorare i rischi derivanti dall'instabilità del sistema politico-istuzionale o quelli derivanti dall'incertezza delle politiche economiche può condurre a un eccessivo ottimismo e a conseguenti scelte sbagliate.n debt sustainability analysispolitical risksPolitical riskEconomic policymedia_common.quotation_subjectGeneral EngineeringRed shiftSettore SECS-S/06 -Metodi Mat. dell'Economia e d.

SISTEMI VERDI COME CULTURA RIGENERATIVA: STRUMENTI E TECNOLOGIE

2021

The study analyzes and proposes in the historical and in the area immediately to it adjacent, the "values-nature" of the buildings through the creation of gardens wall and vertical gardens in the elevatiloy of non-monumental buildings. The study deepens in particular the specificity of the garden roof and the garden vertical, recognizing benefits and critical issues that distinguish these green systems for construction. It also deepens the concept of resilience in close relationship sustainability and regenerative design applied to the built environment. The theme of regenerative design is studied and promoted as an adaptive strategy at the design stage; it requires you to leave nature stre…

Lo studio analizza e propone nel centro storico e nell’area immediatamente ad esso adiacente la ”valori-naturazione” degli edifici attraverso la creazione di giardini pensili e di giardini verticali nei prospetti degli immobili non monumentali. Lo studio approfondisce in particolare le specificità del tetto giardino e del giardino verticale riconoscendo benefici e criticità che contraddistinguono questi sistemi verdi per l’edilizia. Si approfondisce inoltre il concetto di resilienza in stretta relazione alla sostenibilità e al regenerative design applicato all’ambiente costruito. Il tema del regenerative design viene studiato e promosso come strategia adattiva in fase di progettazioneesso richiede di lasciare che la natura rafforzi le sue capacità di autoguarigione e la sua integrità mediante l’uso di metodologie rigenerative integrate. Lo studio intende proporre una base su cui poter fondare ulteriori sviluppi scientifici sui sistemi di inverdimento esistenti o su brevetti in fase di sviluppo applicabili ai centri storici del territorio siciliano. Si prevede la redazione di un libretto divulgativo per gli abitanti volto alla disseminazione di una cultura del verde tecnologico ancora poco presente nei centri siciliani. Per quanto concerne le modalità attuative del progetto di ricerca sono state individuate: sia azioni orientate alla sensibilizzazione dei cittadini di Alcamo e dei residenti nella provincia sia l’individuazione di possibili forme di incentivazione per la mobilitazione di risorse private. Tale studio si inserisce nell’ambito di un filone di ricerca in itinere sui sistemi tecnologici di inverdimento per la costruzione di “Città parco” e di “Green hill” le cui linee guida e modalità attuative sono già state individuate dall’autrice per diversi comuni siciliani.Settore ICAR/12 - Tecnologia Dell'Architettura

Anxiety in adolescence. Can we prevent it?

2017

Background Emotions are potent modulators and motivators of the behaviour that the individual displays in the different situations they have to live and they can act as a protection factor or vulnerability of the adapted or maladaptive behaviour. This study focuses on anxiety in adolescence. Objectives. The objective is, through a longitudinal study, to analyse the psychological processes and emotions that facilitate the symptoms of anxiety and those which protect the adolescent from these symptoms. Material and Methods 417 adolescents (192 boys and 225 girls) participated in a three-wave longitudinal study in Valencia, Spain. In the first wave, adolescents were either in the third year of …

Body image and adolescence: A behavioral impairment model.

2017

Adolescence is a period marked by important physical and social changes that can lead to a negative body image. The purpose of this study was to find a model enabling the appearance of behavioral impairment related to body image (restrictions, avoidance, and checking) to be predicted by body image attitudes (concern or Appearance Orientation, and dissatisfaction or Appearance Evaluation), Gender, emotional symptomatology, self-consciousness, ideas of reference (IR) and age. A total of 661 participants (67.47% girls) with an average age of 17.14 years (SD=2.34) filled in the GHQ-28, SCS on self-consciousness, REF referential thinking scale, MBSRQ (AO and AE), and BIAQ. A partial mediation mo…

Participation in Physical Activity is Associated with Sexual Activity in Older English Adults.

2019

Physical activity (PA) is a potential modifiable correlate of the age-related decline in sexual function, but no studies have explicitly tested this. This study aimed to examine associations between PA, television viewing (TV) time and sexual activity, problems, and concerns. Data were from 7,038 men and women aged &ge
