On Cancer Cell Cycle and Universal Apoptosis Parameters Signaling Unravelled In Silico

2010

Here, cell cycle in higher eukaryotes and their molecular networks signals both in G1/S and G2/M transitions are in silico replicated. Systems control theory is employed to design multi-nestled digital layers to simulate protein-toprotein activation and inhibition in the cancer cell cycle dynamics in presence of damaged genome. Sequencing and controlling the digital process of four micro-scale species networks (p53/Mdm2/DNA damage; p21mRNA/cyclin-CDK complex; CDK/CDC25/wee1/SKP2/APC/CKI and apoptosis target genes system) paved the way for unravelling the participants and their by-products having the task to execute (or not) cell death. The results of the proposed cell digital multi-layers g…

Does Childhood Psychological Abuse Contribute to Intimate Partner Violence Victimization? An Investigation Using the Childhood Experience of Care and…

2018

International audience; Although psychological abuse is recognized as a particularly insidious form of child abuse, research on the impact of this type of abuse related to intimate partner violence (IPV) is scant. This study examined the contribution of childhood psychological abuse to IPV in female victims and non-victims. Furthermore, it investigated the role of cumulative abuse in predicting IPV. The study included 38 women victims of IPV and 40 non-IPV women. All participants were investigated using the Childhood Experience of Care and Abuse Interview (CECA); the Revised Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS2) and the IPV History Interview were used to assess IPV in the last year and lifetime, re…

Esperienze sfavorevoli infantili ed esiti psicopatologici: cluster analysis su campioni clinici e non clinici mediante la Childhood Experience of Car…

2012

Gli eventi traumatici esperiti durante l’infanzia hanno un’influenza rilevante sulla strutturazione del Sé nascente del bambino (Bifulco & Moran,1998; Jurist et al., 2008; Schimmenti & Bifulco, 2008). L’impatto di tali eventi e i loro possibili esiti psicopatologici variano in maniera significativa in relazione alla presenza simultanea di molteplici e pervasive esperienze negative e all’età in cui esse si verificano (Cook et al., 2005; van der Kolk, 2005). Questo contributo propone un’analisi esplorativa finalizzata ad individuare, attraverso la metodologia della cluster analysis, tipologie rappresentative dei diversi pattern di esperienze sfavorevoli infantili. Vengono, inoltre, analizzate…

Esperienze sfavorevoli infantili ed Intimate Partner Violence in età adulta

Group climate, cohesion, and curative climate: A study on the common factors in the group process and their relation with members' attachment dimensi…

2015

This study examined the relationships among the group process measured by the Group Climate Questionnaire, the Cohesion to the Therapist Scale and Cohesion to the Group Scale, and the Curative Climate Instrument to explore higher order factors that explained the group relationship in a sample of 91 female university students attending six interpersonal growth groups. Furthermore, the study examined how group members' attachment dimensions, anxiety, and avoidance were associated to their perceptions of the group relationship. We found that a three-factor model consisting of positive bond, positive work, and negative relationship approached conventional standards of a model fit. Moreover, the…

CO-PARENTING IN HOMOSEXUAL AND HETEROSEXUAL COUPLES: SELF-EFFICACY AND EDUCATIONAL MODELS

2016

Structural and relationships changes involving the parental and conjugal axes represent alterations that have challenged the traditional families’ model of a married heterosexual couples and biological children. This article shows the data collected during a fact-finding survey realized between 30 partners of same-sex couples with children and 30 partners of heterosexual couples with children recruited in Sicily. Participants were offered a protocol of instruments for the measurements of perceived conjugal and familiar self-efficacy, the parenting style, and the self-perception of the dynamics in the same-sex parenting in relationship with school institution (ad hoc questionnaire). The aim …

Community Participation in Urban Suburbs: The Italian Case of Z.E.N. Slum of Palermo

2015

Based on Kurt Lewin’s Action Research theory, the paper focuses on an Action Research project issued in Southern Italy, in the disadvantaged suburb of Palermo (Sicily), called Z.E.N., sadly famous as a dangerous and “criminogenic” urban slum, in order to stimulate social participation and to develop social change. The principal goal was the empowerment of ordinary inhabitants, obtaining their collaboration through participation, giving them acquisition of knowledge for a real social change.

La metafora di Edipo. Revisited.

2015

L’uso della metafora è stata una modalità di rappresentare in simboli alcune funzioni dell’inconscio in psicanalisi. Tale uso sembra essersi un po’ perso, per la maggiore attenzione che le scienze, soprattutto l’infant research, hanno riposto sul funzionamento del bambino e sul funzionamento psico-fisiologico più in generale dell’uomo. In realtà, a mio avviso, il riprendere l’uso della metafora, ed in particolar modo i simboli, non è in contraddizione con l’acquisizione delle nuove conoscenze scientifiche. Anzi, collegate a queste, possono aiutarci ad ampliare il nostro modo di rappresentazione della funzionalità psichica. Uno dei lavori classici più rappresentativi, ripresi metaforicamente…
