ACT for sleep - Internet-delivered self-help ACT for sub-clinical and clinical insomnia : A randomized controlled trial
2019
Background: Sleep disturbances are a common health problem. New and more accessible alternatives are needed to improve the availability of psychological treatments for insomnia. - Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of a self-help Acceptance and Commitment Therapy-based web-intervention for sleep disturbances. - Method: Participants (N = 86) reporting symptoms of insomnia were randomly assigned to an Internet-delivered ACT (iACT, n = 43) or a control condition (WLC, n = 40) and assessed with standardized self-report measures related to sleep (ISI, BNSQ, ESS, DBAS), psychological symptoms (BDI-II, SCL-90), life satisfaction, and ACT-related processes (AAQ-2…
La semantica di peuple nel linguaggio di Brunetto Latini
2020
Il Tresor di Brunetto Latini è un’enciclopedia al cui interno il peso dei saperi politici o civili è molto forte. A questa chiara scelta di contenuto fa riscontro una scelta linguistica, quella di scrivere in francese, per nulla inusuale fra gli scrittori dell’Italia centro- settentrionale del XIII secolo, e che pone un interessante problema, quello del rapporto tra ‘lingua politica’ e ‘lingua letteraria’, dove con il primo termine si intende semplicemente il codice politico che il secondo veicola. Il saggio intende mettere sotto osservazione la scelta di adoperare la ‘lingua franca’ del momento – l’antico francese, appunto - per accertare eventuali forme di condizionamento esercitato dal v…
Deep Learning-Based Methods for Prostate Segmentation in Magnetic Resonance Imaging
2021
Magnetic Resonance Imaging-based prostate segmentation is an essential task for adaptive radiotherapy and for radiomics studies whose purpose is to identify associations between imaging features and patient outcomes. Because manual delineation is a time-consuming task, we present three deep-learning (DL) approaches, namely UNet, efficient neural network (ENet), and efficient residual factorized convNet (ERFNet), whose aim is to tackle the fully-automated, real-time, and 3D delineation process of the prostate gland on T2-weighted MRI. While UNet is used in many biomedical image delineation applications, ENet and ERFNet are mainly applied in self-driving cars to compensate for limited hardwar…
Crociere e lunette in Sicilia e in Italia meridionale nel XVI secolo. Dalla costruzione gotica all'affermazione di un modello peninsulare
2016
Se gli studi di storia dell’architettura privilegiano spesso le “avanguardie” e i casi eccezionali, in alcuni contesti aspetti altrettanto importanti per le valutazioni storiografiche emergono da una riflessione su continuità, ripetizioni, serialità. Le ragioni della persistenza o della riproposizione di certe soluzioni non sono infatti sempre le più ovvie o possono risultare meritevoli di ulteriori valutazioni sul peso di alcune componenti piuttosto che di altre. Un ripensamento dei parametri di lettura e del contesto di riferimento può svelare l’infondatezza di alcuni presunti anacronismi; mentre dietro la ripetizione apparentemente inerte si celano non di rado, a un’osservazione più appr…

Leadership Manipulation and Ethics in Storytelling
2012
This article focuses on exerting influence in leadership, namely manipulation in storytelling. Manipulation is usually considered an unethical approach to leadership. We will argue that manipulation is a more complex phenomenon than just an unethical way of acting in leadership. We will demonstrate through an empirical qualitative study that there are various types of manipulation through storytelling. This article makes a contribution to the literature on manipulation through leadership storytelling, offering a more systematic empirical analysis and a more nuanced view of the topic than previously existed by outlining how managers engage in manipulative storytelling and what kind of ethics…
Hearing Voices in Dreams: Freud's Tossing and Turning with Speech and Writing
2002
In The Interpretation of Dreams, Freud repeatedly claims that there is no original speech in dreams. All dreamed speech is lifted from waking life and used as mutable raw material, whereas thought and writing can occur independently of the dream-work. This article examines Freud's insistence of the unoriginality and mutability of speech, which ostensibly reverses the supposed phonocentric tradition of Western metaphysics. Freud's interpretations, the article suggests, point to the importance of a general linguistic system in the production of meaning in dreams. This system includes non-phonetic writing and the concretization of abstract dream-thoughts into visual images. This concretization…
Trends in sleeping difficulty among adolescents in five Nordic countries 2002–2014
2019
Sleep has been found to be an important factor in adolescents’ mental and physical health. The aim of the present study was to examine trends in sleep difficulty (i.e., difficulty falling asleep more often than once a week) in the Nordic countries among 11- to 15-year-olds. We analysed Nordic data from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study (HBSC), which is conducted every four years, looking specifically at trends in sleep difficulty over a 12-year period from 2002 to 2014. The participants were aged 11 to 15 years. The total number of participants across these years was 113,447. A large percentage (17% to 31% in 2014) of adolescents in the Nordic countries experience sleep dif…

2016
Resum : El simil de la segona cobla de la canco 74 d’Ausias March s’articula al voltant d’un mot agrest i poc poetic: «paralitic». Dues obres de divulgacio aristotelica del dos-cents, la Summa Alexandrinorum i la Sententia libri Ethicorum de Tomas d’Aquino, tambe empren «paralitic» en el mateix context, a saber, per a referir-se a l’incontinent, es a dir, a qui pateix la malaltia de la voluntat.

Venäjänkielisen internetin poliittisen sääntelyn kiristäminen
2017
Tässä artikkelissa käsittelemme internetin venäjänkielisen segmentin, ”Runetin” sääntelyä kansalaisyhteiskunnan ja poliittisen opposition toiminnan rajoittamiseksi. Keskitymme toimenpiteisiin, jotka alkoivat opposition protestiaallon aikana 2011–2013, jolloin Kreml käynnisti päämäärätietoisen kampanjan Runetin poliittisen käytön kontrolloimiseksi. Tätä kampanjaa kutsumme ”Runetin valtaukseksi”.
