Parental Distress and Perception of Children’s Executive Functioning after the First COVID‐19 Lockdown in Italy
2021
The spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), and the consequential first italian lockdown to minimize viral transmission, have resulted in many significant changes in the every-day lives of families, with an increased risk of parental burnout. This study explores the impact of the first COVID-19 lockdown in Italy on parental distress and parental perceptions of children’s executive functions (EFs). Participants were 308 Italian parents with children between 4 and 17 years of age; they were recruited through online advertisements on websites and social media, and they were given an online survey. The measures were: the balance between risks and resources (BR2) and the executive functionin…
L’impresa socialmente irresponsabile: un primo itinerario di giurisprudenza, anche in prospettiva comparata
2021
The essay aims to analyse the most recent national and international case law in the light of corporate social responsibility theories. Starting with the study of judgments where European and North-American Courts have ruled for their jurisdiction over enterprises’ abusive conducts in foreign countries, this paper will investigate possible criteria of imposing liability on corporations, such as the duty of care, the enterprise liability theory or violations of code of conducts.
'Episodios de una guerra interminable' de Almudena Grandes: ¿novelas de la memoria histórica?
2014
Resumen : Este articulo propone un analisis de la presencia de la Guerra Civil espanola en la narrativa de Almudena Grandes, concretamente en El corazon helado (2007) y en las dos entregas que hasta el momento se han publicado de los Episodios de una guerra interminable , titulados Ines y la alegria (2010) y El lector de Julio Verne (2012). Mediante un enfoque critico, se plantea en estas paginas una pregunta clave: ?son estas novelas, en sentido estricto, novelas de la memoria historica, o, por el contrario, estos textos no provocan sino un debilitamiento de la historicidad? El modo en que en estas novelas la Historia se interpreta desde el espacio privado, se lleva a cabo una reconstrucci…
Parental expectations and prosocial behavior of adolescents from low-income backgrounds. A cross-cultural comparison between three countries: Argenti…
2014
Parental expectations are influenced by cultural models, which in turn are subject to a great influence from historically fluctuating features of the socioeconomic background. Parental expectations seem to be linked to children’s social and emotional development in terms of empathy and prosocial behavior. The current study aims to (a) compare low-income adolescents’ perceptions of parental expectations of prosocial and antisocial behavior across three Latin countries (Argentina, Colombia, and Spain), (b) compare the empathy and prosocial behavior between the three countries, (c) compare the prosocial behavior between the three countries, and (d) study the effect of perceived parental expect…
School performance of children from monogamous and polygamous families in Nigeria
2014
Scholastic success of Nigerian children coming from polygamous ( n = 50) and monogamous families ( n = 156) was compared. No differences between the two groups were observed across background variables of demographics, parental education and occupation, or family support for schooling. There were no differences in the Junior Secondary School Entrance Exam scores between the groups. However, children from polygamous families reported more difficulties in mathematics and English than their counterparts from monogamous families. The findings are discussed in relation to previous research.
Parenting culture(s): Ideal-parent beliefs across 37 countries
2022
What is it to be “an ideal parent”? Does the answer differ across countries and social classes? To answer these questions in a way that minimizes bias and ethnocentrism, we used open-ended questions to explore ideal-parent beliefs among 8,357 mothers and 3,517 fathers from 37 countries. Leximancer Semantic Network Analysis was utilized to first determine parenting culture zones (i.e., countries with shared ideal-parent beliefs) and then extract the predominant themes and concepts in each culture zone. The results yielded specific types of ideal-parent beliefs in five parenting culture zones: being “responsible and children/family-focused” for Asian parents, being “responsible and proper de…
Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir in Adults With Chronic Genotype 1–6 Hepatitis C Virus Infections and Compensated Liver Disease
2019
Background: Untreated, chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection may lead to progressive liver damage, which can be mitigated by successful treatment. This integrated analysis reports the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of the ribavirin-free, direct-acting, antiviral, fixed-dose combination of glecaprevir/pibrentasvir (G/P) in patients with chronic HCV genotype 1-6 infections and compensated liver disease, including patients with chronic kidney disease stages 4 or 5 (CKD 4/5). Methods: Data from 9 Phase II and III clinical trials, assessing the efficacy and safety of G/P treatment for 8-16 weeks, were included. The presence of cirrhosis was determined at screening using a liver …
Indirect Discrimination and School Segregation of Roma Children in the Czech Republic
2018
In DH v. Czech Republic (2007), the Czech government argued that Roma parents consented to the assignment of their children to ‘special’ schools. According to the government, parental consent undermined the claim that the disproportionate assignment of Roma children to inferior schools amounted to discrimination. The court rejected the argument, finding as a matter of law that parents could not choose to subject their children to discriminatory education, and as a matter of fact that the parents’ consent was not informed. Since the judgment, the Czech government continues to disproportionately assign Roma children to inferior schools, but it has revised the procedure they use to obtain pare…
Using Y-chromosome capture enrichment to resolve haplogroup H2 shows new evidence for a two-path Neolithic expansion to Western Europe
2021
Uniparentally-inherited markers on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and the non-recombining regions of the Y chromosome (NRY), have been used for the past 30 years to investigate the history of humans from a maternal and paternal perspective. Researchers have preferred mtDNA due to its abundance in the cells, and comparatively high substitution rate. Conversely, the NRY is less susceptible to back mutations and saturation, and is potentially more informative than mtDNA owing to its longer sequence length. However, due to comparatively poor NRY coverage via shotgun sequencing, and the relatively low and biased representation of Y-chromosome variants on capture assays such as the 1240 k, ancient DNA…
I congedi parentali e la genitorialità “intenzionale”
2021
Costituisce discriminazione diretta, ai sensi dell’art. 2, D.Lgs. 9 luglio 2003, n. 216, il diniego di usufruire del congedo parentale, previsto dall’art. 32, del D.Lgs. n. 151 del 2001 e dal contratto collettivo applicato, opposto dal datore di lavoro ad una propria lavoratrice, unita civilmente ad un’altra donna e “seconda madre” (la cosiddetta madre intenzionale) di un figlio avuto tramite ricorso a tecniche di procreazione medicalmente assistita, quando tale legame sia documentalmente certificato e provato dagli atti dello stato civile. Rientra, inoltre, nel novero delle discriminazioni dirette la dichiarazione d’intento con cui il datore di lavoro preannunci alla propria lavoratrice, “…
