La comunità educante di fronte alla pandemia: possibili strategie di intervento e nuovi scenari in un’ottica di rete
2022
Quando nel mese di marzo 2020, anche i servizi educativi 0-6 in Italia furono chiusi in base alle misure di sicurezza per pandemia da Covid 19, ci si ritrovò da un giorno all’altro e senza alcuna esperienza pregressa, ad organizzare delle forme di educazione a distanza e di sostegno alle famiglie e ai bambini. Nell’articolo, in particolare, descrivo come si è cercato di far fronte all’emergenza nei nidi e nelle scuole dell’infanzia gestiti dal Comune di Palermo e come l’esperienza del primo lock down abbia permesso di mettere a fuoco alcune strategie di intervento che si sono rivelate una risorsa potenzialmente trasferibile in situazioni di normalità. Sottolineo, inoltre, come la necessità …
The association between stress mindset and physical and psychological wellbeing : testing a stress beliefs model in police officers
2020
Objective: Emergency service workers like police officers experience high levels of stress in the course of their regular duties. Holding particular stress mindsets may help to mitigate the deleterious effects of stress and promote wellbeing in workers experiencing regular stress. The study aimed to examine the processes by which stress mindsets relate to health and wellbeing in police officers. A stress beliefs model in which perceived somatic symptoms and coping behaviours mediate effects of stress mindsets on outcomes was tested. Design: Police officers (N = 134) completed an online cross-sectional survey. Main outcome measures: Perceived somatic symptoms, proactive coping behaviours, ph…
Costituzionalismo dei diritti e diritto di eccezione
2010
Il costituzionalismo dei diritti limita i poteri delle autorità obbligandole al rispetto dei diritti fondamentali, nonché ad agire secondo le procedure ed entro le competenze prescritte assumendo che ciò sia necessario al fine di massimizzare, nel complesso, la protezione dei diritti; in virtù del medesimo fine, obbliga i cittadini ad osservare le direttive delle autorità delegando ad esse la tutela dei loro diritti. Ciò comprime ma non elimina la possibilità di giustificare lo stato di eccezione o il diritto di resistenza: si potrà infatti rivendicare il diritto eccezionale delle autorità a violare i limiti dei propri poteri, ovvero il diritto eccezionale a rovesciare un’autorità…
The mediation of subtitling in the narrative construction of migrant and/or marginalized stories
2020
Media products, cultures and the arts have recently been transformed by migration, and these cultural and aesthetic transformations have contributed to re-shaping identities, ethnicities, distant societies, and minority groups. The growing interest in migratory aesthetics has brought into representation marginalized subjectivities in ways that depart from migrant depictions in the conventional media (e.g., the news bulletins) and the oversimplified and manipulated stories of marginalization in networked mainstream platforms. Against the backdrop of narrative theory and accessibility as a new terrain of human rights practice, this study examines the subtitling activity of what I identify as …

Development and Preliminary Italian Validation of the Emergency Response and Psychological Adjustment Scale
2021
Evaluating the personal adaptation response to the emergency situations is very important for the prevention of mental distress, for the activation of network and community synergies and for the planning and implementation of appropriate psycho-social interventions. So far there are no short tools for the overall assessment of cognitive, emotional and behavioral responses of psychological adaptation to the emergency in the psychometric panorama. The Emergency Response and Psychological Adjustment Scale (ERPAS) was administered to a sample of 1,088 participants, while the concurrent validity was tested through a second administration to 600 participants along with the GSE (Generalized Self-E…
Considerations regarding the alleged association between Herbalife products and cases of hepatotoxicity: a rebuttal.
2014
We thank Dr. K Appelhans et al. for their comments [1] on our paper [2], published online first in April 2012. In our review, we aimed to draw the attention of physicians to the uncontrolled and increasingly alarming use of herbal products and dietary supplements in the general population. In fact, in Italy this phenomenon, though still limited, has rapidly increased over the last few years. Here, use of herbal medicine products has increased to 3.7 %, while in other countries consumption is higher, reaching 20 % in the UK, and 40 % in the USA. Young non-smoking women with a high level of education appear to be the most common consumers [3]. It seems that women use these products more than …
Application of a Bayesian Spatiotemporal Surveillance Method to NYC Syndromic Data
2014
Incorporating prior knowledge (e.g., the spatial distribution of zip codes and background population effects) into a model using Bayesian methods could potentially improve outbreak detection. We adapted a previously described Bayesian model-based spatiotemporal surveillance technique to daily respiratory syndrome counts in NYC Emergency Department data in 2009, the year of the H1N1 influenza pandemic. Citywide, 56 alarms were produced across 15 zip codes, all during days of elevated respiratory visits. Future work includes evaluating our choice of baseline length, considering other alarm thresholds, and conducting a formal evaluation of the method across five syndromes in NYC.

Challenges in the Transition from In-Patient to Out-Patient Treatment in Depression
2020
Background Few data are available on the characteristics of inpatient treatment and subsequent outpatient treatment for depression in Germany. In this study, we aimed to characterize the inpatient and outpatient treatment phases, to determine the rates of readmission and mortality, and to identify risk factors. Methods We carried out a descriptive statistical analysis of routine administrative data from a large health-insurance carrier (BARMER). All insurees aged 18 to 65 who were treated in 2015 as inpatients on a psychiatry and psychotherapy service or on a psychosomatic medicine and psychotherapy service with a main diagnosis of depression were included in the analysis. Risk factors for …
