The Watts riots : a contemporary study of the news coverage of the riots
Authors:   , Cammarata Stephanie L.
Published: September 2024

The Watts riots happened in Los Angeles, California, in 1965. It was six days of looting and burning, 34 deaths, thousands of arrests, and $40,000,000 in damages. This research questioned how the black California press framed and covered the Watts riots, specifically looking into the Los Angeles Sentinel and Sacramento Observer's use of sources, terms used when describing the riots. After reading more than a hundred articles, I found that the Sentinel interviewed and quoted mostly community leaders and witnesses when covering the Watts riots, and the Observer used unidentified sources or official sources while reporting on the riots. The language used by authors and sources when referring to the Watts riots in the Los Angeles Sentinel and the Sacramento Observer changed in each edition of the newspaper. Editions sent to the printers closer to the end of the Watts riots were more likely to discuss the cause of the riots, where later editions in the timeframe I researched were more likely to discuss how to go about fixing the causes of Watts riots. Both newspapers made an attempt to stay neutral in most of their reporting of the Watts riots, but writers from both papers framed the riots more negatively than positively. Some articles had undiscernible frames as those articles contained either straight facts or did not have a set frame.
User-generated content as war and peace journalism in the wake of terror
Authors:   , Fleck Madison
Published: September 2024

This framing analysis explores how broadcast news networks with a large international audience incorporate user-generated content (UGC) in reports immediately following a terrorist attack and how these reports contribute to war/violence journalism or peace journalism. This analysis of CNN and Al Jazeera English coverage of the 2017 Manchester Arena attack using peace journalism theory, as defined by researcher Johan Galtung, found that while both CNN and Al Jazeera English are more likely to use war journalism frames when reporting on terrorism, there are a number of peace journalism frames also used. Further research in this area should look at when war journalism is being used in breaking news scenarios and formulate guidelines of when war journalism is a more beneficial form of journalism than peace journalism.
An examination of athletic participation and academic achievement among high school students in a midwest, catholic high school
Authors:   , Crutcher Bryndyn
Published: September 2024

This quantitative study was designed to examine whether there was a statistically significant difference in grade point average (GPA) between students who participated in school-sponsored athletic programs and nonparticipants in a Midwest, Catholic high school. Secondarily, this study examined whether there were significant differences in the relationship between athletic participation and GPA based on type of sport (i.e., team sport or individual sport). This study utilized Astin's theory of student involvement, looking at the impact of student involvement on academic achievement. Data analysis was conducted by the researcher using regression analyses. The results of the study indicate that the difference in GPA of athletic participants compared to nonparticipants was found to be statistically significant. After data analysis, neither team sport only participant GPA nor individual and team sport participant GPA were found to be statistically different compared to individual sport only participant GPA. Limitations of this study include demographic representation, socioeconomic representation, location, and by the type of school studied. Based on the results of this study, the researcher concluded that participation in school-sponsored athletics at a Catholic high school is valuable to students. Thusly, schools should not only fund school-sponsored athletics, but school officials should also be committed to policies that increase access to, and encourage participation in, school-sponsored athletic programs.
Between a nuclear family and a stepfamily : growing up with married biological parents and older half-siblings
Authors:   , Sanner Caroline
Published: September 2024

Shared children in stepfamilies (i.e., those who are born into the repartnered family; they live with married biological parents and older half-siblings) have been found to fare worse than other sibling groups on a variety of outcomes. Little is known, however, about the qualitative experiences of these individuals. Using descriptive phenomenology, I conducted interviews with 20 shared children to answer the research question: What is the nature of the experience of being a shared child in a (step) family? Participants ranged in age from 19 to 30 and lived in the same household with their halfsibling(s) for at least some time growing up. Findings indicated that the shared children's life-world contexts were shaped by living in a hybrid 'step-nuclear' family; their experiences were characterized by the tension of 'reorganizing' as a nuclear unit but doing so within a larger stepfamily structure. The overriding phenomenon of participants' experiences was regulating family privacy boundaries -- privacy rules existed surrounding sensitive information about family relatedness, marital histories, stepfamily dynamics, and more. In the absence of information, these children hypothesized about the topics that were not openly discussed in their families -- a key part of their lived experiences. Practical implications of the findings are discussed.
Perforated sovereignty : the geopolitical dilemma of Aegean hydrocarbons
Authors:   , Higgs Melissa Anne North
Published: September 2024

The Aegean Sea, as an integral portion of the Mediterranean Sea, has always been a region endowed with special significance. Either as a familiar route of trade or culture, or as a fault-line between hostile civilizations and states, this vortex of human dynamic and conflict is a center of tactical and strategic interplay that has evolved over thousands of years. Although sovereignty in the Aegean ultimately lies with the states of Greece and Turkey within today's global governance structure as laid out in the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS III), the geographic space of the Aegean Sea is a cumulative social construction assembled over centuries of interactions and events, and the traditional concept of Westphalian sovereignty embedded in UNCLOS III is being increasingly perforated by the paradiplomatic activities of the plethora of non-state actors who operate on the world stage of the 21st century. These circumstances mute the ability of UNCLOS III to mitigate and/or resolve the issues of maritime delimitation. This historically and theoretically grounded research looks beyond the static lines of traditional sovereignty in the Aegean arena as defined by UNCLOS III to examine the agents operating within this socially constructed space, and how they act through paradiplomacy to perforate state sovereignty in decisions regarding exploration, extraction, and exploitation of the hydrocarbon reserves projected to exist in the area.
ENSO and PDO-related variability in South Pacific circulation patterns and seasonal range prediction for Bolivia in South America
Authors:   , Korner Alexander
Published: September 2024

Seasonal range prediction over North America has been based on intraseasonal and interannual variability related to the Pacific North America (PNA) pattern and El Nino and Southern Oscillation (ENSO), respectively. These events have an impact on the occurrence of atmospheric blocking and the long-term conditions for North America. Similar studies may determine seasonal range prediction valid for South America, specifically for the Bolivian Altiplano region. Previous studies have examined ENSO-related variability of the South Pacific Jetstream as well as atmospheric blocking. Using the National Centers for Environmental Prediction / National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP/NCAR) reanalysis tool, the character of the monthly circulations was studied over the South Pacific / South America sector from 1969-2017. Initial results show significant pattern development in the upper air circulation over the East Pacific and downstream of South America during winter for ENSO. Also, the interannual variability in the jet-stream pattern for the region as related to ENSO shows a 180 degrees phase difference for the current, negative Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), while having a slightly more zonal pattern during the latter part of the 20th century (Positive PDO). Finally, it can be shown that the circulation pattern for 1999-2017 is different from that of the Positive PDO as indicated by a recent turnaround of the interdecadal variability of atmospheric blocking over the South Pacific Region. Further pattern recognition will be completed in conjunction with surface observation.
Detecting explosive hazards in 3D radar imaging through slice based feature extraction and sequential learning
Authors:   , Laroe Quenton
Published: September 2024

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] This thesis provides the history and framework of detecting explosive hazards from three-dimensional radar by extracting features through a slice-based perspective and using a sequential classifier. This problem rises from the concerns of saving the lives of many brave men and women who serve this country while in areas of hostility. One of the deadliest problems faced by service men and women are side attacks from explosive hazards while patrolling areas or moving with a convoy. Many advances have been made in upgrading vehicle armor and design to lessen the impact of the explosives and protect those within the vehicles. This thesis specifically looks at the advancements made within radar systems that can create a three-dimensional space in which the vehicle is traveling. The goal of the research within this thesis is to detect explosive hazards proactively and prevent any harm to the operators and passengers within the vehicle. For this a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) has been developed and tested experimentally.
Longitudinal links between marital quality and prosocial behavior in adolescence : the mediating roles of coparenting and adolescents' emotion regulation and sympathy
Authors:   , Han Youngsook
Published: September 2024

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The aim of the present research was to examine the longitudinal relations between marital quality and adolescents' prosocial behavior toward different targets via coparenting and adolescents' emotion regulation and sympathy. This study also explored an alternative reverse model. The sample consisted of 654 mothers, fathers, and their adolescents (M age = 12.4 years at T1; 50.4 percent females) who participated in the Flourishing Families Project conducted in two cities in the U.S. The results demonstrated that mothers' and fathers' perceived marital quality was positively associated with adolescents' emotion regulation via mothers' perceptions of fathers' coparenting, which in turn predicted adolescents' prosocial behavior toward strangers and family. Adolescents' emotion regulation was also positively related to their prosocial behavior toward strangers, friends, and family via sympathy. Mothers' perceived marital quality was directly linked to adolescents' prosocial behavior toward strangers and family. The results of the reverse model indicated that adolescents' prosocial behavior toward strangers and friends was positively associated with their sympathy, which in turn predicted mothers' and fathers' coparenting via adolescent emotion regulation. In turn, mothers' and fathers' coparenting was positively related to mothers' and fathers' marital quality. Adolescents' prosocial behavior toward family was also related to mothers' and fathers' coparenting via adolescent emotion regulation, which in turn predicted mothers' and fathers' perceived marital quality. There were no child gender differences in the study models. Discussion focused on the roles of mothers' perceptions of fathers' coparenting and adolescents' emotion regulation and sympathy.
Explaining variation in adoption and implementation of anti-corruption policies
Authors:   , Min Kyoung-sun
Published: September 2024

Since the negative effects of corruption on the quality of government are becoming more apparent, the anti-corruption industry is expanding. Yet while scholars have developed several anti-corruption policies, political leaders have only partially adopted them. This selective adoption causes those anti-corruption policies to be less effective. Why do political leaders adopt different anti-corruption policies? This research question has not yet been fully answered. The extant literature on this topic suggests that a lack of political will can explain incomplete compliance with anti-corruption policies, and yet it stops short of explaining what encourages or discourages political will. This dissertation assumes that political leaders want to maximize power to govern their people effectively. To fortify their power within national affairs and to respond to international, social, economic, and political circumstances, political leaders develop a governance strategy. When an anti-corruption policy is consistent with their governance strategy, the leaders' political will to adopt the policy will increase. If not, their political will might decrease. To evaluate the validity of this assertion, this thesis uses the comparative-historical method in an exploration involving three countries: India, Russia, and China. The Indian leaders refuse to build a strong anti-corruption agency that may impede their ability to protect political allies. The Russian leaders avoid introducing reformative anti-corruption policies to keep from losing the support of corrupt elites. The Chinese leaders use anti-corruption policies as a punishment against opponents to increase their power in the party and the power of the party. This dissertation concludes that experts should consider the circumstances which political leaders face before suggesting prescriptions for reducing corruption.
Simulation of spiral-shaped mems human energy harvester using piezoelectric transduction
Authors:   , Srivastava Tanya
Published: September 2024

Energy harvesters are one of the focus areas in the field of research. The complex smart devices and miniaturized electronic design limit the use of traditional wired power source. The need for an efficient human energy harvester for such devices is growing exponentially every year due to an increase in the demand of energy sources and power requirement for the electronics. In the recent years, the trend of research is leading us to come up with a better solution of replacing the use of non-renewable energy with the renewable sources. Human energy harvesting technique has evolved as an efficient substitute to these. But there are few challenges in designing such energy harvesters. Firstly, obtaining higher efficiency. Moreover, since the efficiency is lower it is difficult to obtain enough energy considered to size. The goal is to model and simulate small scale energy harvester which harvests the ambient energy efficiently. There are several advantages of human energy harvester which make it beneficial, cost-effective and has grabbed the attention of researchers since past several years. In this thesis report, a human energy harvester has been designed in a 2-loop spiral design and simulated to obtain an efficient design using piezoelectric materials.

Background: In Algeria, data on the epidemiology of theileriosis in small ruminants are limited. Objectives: The current study investigates the seroprevalence of Theileria spp. in goats from the M’Sila region, Central Algeria. Methods: Blood samples of 128 goats from 19 farms were collected from the locality of Maâdid. The indirect fluorescence antibody test (IFAT) was performed to test the goats’ sera for antibodies against Theileria ovis and Theileria lestoquardi. Results: Out of 128 tested samples, 21 sera (16.40%) were positive for T. ovis antibodies. All samples were seronegative for T. lestoquardi. The seroprevalence of T. ovis varied from 10% to 30% on farms. The seropositivity rates did not differ significantly with age, sex, or breeding system of goats. Tick-infested goats were significantly more seropositive than no-infested goats. Conclusion: The present study reports essential data on the epidemiology of caprine theileriosis from Central Algeria.

Economic Growth Is the Best Solution to China’s Environmental Problems: An Analysis within the Framework of Environmental Kuznets Curve
Authors: Gao Qixuan
Published: September 2024

This paper uses the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) theory to analyze the relationship between the Chinese case and environmental quality, and explores whether the Chinese case provides the best solution to environmental problems. In the early stages of China's economic development, heavy industry and pollution-intensive agriculture led to environmental deterioration. However, with the increase in per capita income, the economic structure has shifted from heavy industry to knowledge-intensive manufacturing and services, and the widespread application of clean energy technologies, China's environmental quality has improved significantly. Economic growth provides financial support for clean technology research and development, and also stimulates market investment in green technology. As people's environmental awareness increases, the government has strengthened environmental supervision, which has helped to repair environmental pollution caused by economic development. However, the EKC theory also has limitations. Economic growth may not be equally converted into environmental improvements in all regions, and there are significant differences between regions. In addition, rapid economic development has also led to the loss of biodiversity, and these problems require long-term systematic governance. Therefore, although I recognize the best solution for China to solve environmental problems, it still requires a comprehensive approach of balanced development, effective environmental policies, technology, public awareness, and cooperation to achieve sustainable development in China.

У статті уточнено сутнісні ознаки понять, зокрема: «загальнобіологічні поняття» – «наскрізні» поняття, що включають знання про біологічні закономірності, що відбуваються у природі та в живих організмах. Біологічні поняття є основою шкільних предметів, зокрема: «Біологія», «Біологія і екологія» та інтегрованих природничих курсів і основною формою знань і мислення здобувачів середньої освіти; «генетичні поняття» – спеціальні біологічні поняття, що формуються у межах розділу «Генетика». Розроблено методику формування генетичних понять в процесі вивчення теми: «Спадковість і мінливість». Запропоновано авторський «Генетичний тренажер» із використанням мережевого сервісу LearningApps.org, який складається із інтерактивних вправ, а саме: «Генетичні пазли», «Тепер я знаю!», «Ілюструємо поняття», «Я це розумію!», «Я це знаю!» тощо. Виокремлено рівні засвоєння генетичних понять старшокласниками із метою діагностики означеної якості, зокрема: високий (розуміння взаємозв’язків і відношень природи генетичних понять; уміння їх аналізувати, порівнювати й узагальнювати, потребу знаходити причинно-наслідкові зв’язки; уміння застосовувати їх у практичній діяльності за різних умов), середній (розуміння природи генетичних понять, володінням уміннями та навичками аналізу і порівняння відповідних генетичних знань, застосування їх у пізнавальних і практичних завданнях, встановлення зв’язків і відношень між поняттями), низький (репродуктивні знання генетичних понять, уміння і навички їх відтворення у контексті конкретного навчального змісту, здатність оперувати ними на основі формальних символів). Обґрунтовано й експериментально доведено ефективність запропонованої методики формування генетичних понять у процесі вивчення теми: «Спадковість і мінливість» відносно до традиційного навчання. За результатами проведеного діагностування зафіксовано, що в експериментальній групі прослідковуються такі відсоткові показники: високий рівень – +35,48%, середній рівень – +6,45%, низький рівень – -41,93.

Published: September 2024

У пропонованій статті досліджено організаційно-методичні засади спортивного відбору в баскетбольні групи ДЮСШ і сформульовано практичні рекомендації з підвищення якості такого відбору. Відзначено, що узагальнено він включає в себе як медико-біологічні, так і соціально-педагогічні аспекти, і повинен здійснюватися на основі методологічних принципів комплексного підходу, послідовності та вибірковості, діагностики здатності до навчання і подальшої спортивної підготовки. У статті надано загальну характеристику початкового відбору, в якому рекомендовано надавати перевагу організованому (плановому) і стандартизованому варіантам, але з наданням тренерам відносно широких повноважень щодо визначення рамок тестів на виявлення баскетбольних якостей. Особливу увагу приділено важливості застосування комплексного підходу до вибору ключових критеріїв відбору і показників, які можуть свідчити про наявність у дітей специфічних баскетбольних здібностей. У рамках такого підходу рекомендовано включати у структуру спортивного відбору агітаційну роботу, перегляд дітей у дошкільних та загальноосвітніх навчальних закладах, анамнез (попередню роботу з батьками й дітьми), діагностику ігрової діяльності (з використанням модельних тестів на основі рухливих ігор), інтересів і рівня домагань дітей, їх здібностей до ігрової взаємодії, а також медичну експертизу. Ступінь баскетбольної обдарованості може бути визначено за допомогою спеціальних баскетбольних модельних тестів, які запропоновано використовувати на додаток до діагностики ігрової діяльності. Також рекомендовано комплексно використовувати такі основні критерії початкового відбору як морфологічні особливості (довжина тіла, тип тілобудови та інші), рухові якості (швидкість бігу, координація рухів, вестибулярна стійкість, відчуття м’яча тощо) та психологічні особливості (емоційна стійкість, оперативне мислення, реакція прогнозування й т. д.). Серед основних засобів спортивного відбору в баскетбольні групи ДЮСШ відзначено антропометричні виміри, тести функціонального стану і фізичної підготовленості, засоби визначення здібностей до ігрової діяльності, ігрові тести на визначення ступеня обдарованості в баскетбольній грі.
Ulteriori riflessioni sul disturbo dell'identità di genere nei bambini e negli adolescenti
Authors: Bell David
Published: September 2024

In questo secondo scritto, che fa seguito al primo, pubblicato su un numero precedente di questa rivista (n. 26, 2), David Bell risponde alle varie critiche ricevute. Anche qui si concentra sulla disfunzione del servizio GIDS (Gender Identity Development Ser-vice) della clinica Tavistock. L'autore ritiene che un gran numero di bambini siano stati gravemente danneggiati dalla penetrazione dell'ideologia "trans" nei servizi per l'infanzia e l'adolescenza, che ha portato a guardare ai loro problemi complessi (come storie familiari, omofobia interiorizzata, comorbilità complesse) soltanto attraverso il pri-sma del genere, portando così a trascurare la complessità di natura intrapsichica e interpsichica. L'Autore esamina anche i processi socioculturali più ampi che hanno contribui-to alla diffusione di questo fenomeno dei disturbi dell'identità di genere nei bambini e negli adolescenti.
Psicoanalisi, fondamentalismo e terrorismo religioso: considerazioni in psicologia della religione
Authors: Golasmici Stefano
Published: September 2024

Il fondamentalismo è prevalentemente religioso. Nell'articolo si considera, quindi, il sentimento religioso come materia analitica in quanto compromesso di motivazioni consce ed inconsce. Viene suggerito di considerarlo un contenuto mentale transizionale in grado di imbrigliare la libertà di pensiero e di azione individuale. Attraverso un breve excursus storico, si illustra come il fondamenta-lismo non coincida con l'Islam, ma sia una ‘reazione psicologica globale' legata a caratteristiche personologiche di autorità e dipendenza. La tesi sostenuta è che il fondamentalismo si genera quando una credenza si radicalizza e vicaria un senso di identità narcisisticamente ferito. Quest'ultimo è particolarmente va-cillante nelle persone che sono migrate in Paesi di culture e religioni diverse dalle proprie a causa dello sradicamento culturale, simbolico e identitario, in particolare nelle seconde e terze generazioni. Un ideale dell'Io personale diven-ta un ideale da imporre alla collettività; esso diviene la giustificazione per il passaggio all'azione di marca terroristica in cui l'esperienza paralizzante e le-siva del senso di sé viene fatta vibrare in altre persone. Il fondamentalismo ri-sponde ad un desiderio di fusione con l'immenso a riparazione dell'identità feri-ta; esso si esprime con il narcisismo di morte che riporta alla quiete totale.
Gli uomini del Duca. I segretari del giovane Cosimo I de' Medici
Authors: Lo Bartolo Alessandro
Published: September 2024

Nel 1537, quando fu eletto "capo e primario" della Repubblica fiorentina, Cosimo I de' Medici era ancora un ragazzo di diciassette anni, pressoché privo di esperienza politica. Nondimeno, egli riuscì a consolidare il proprio potere in appena sei anni. Secondo Riguccio Galluzzi, i segretari che già avevano servito il duca Alessandro giocarono un ruolo centrale in questo processo. Basato su un'ampia ricerca archivistica, il saggio ricostruisce il retroterra politico e l'attività di governo dei più importanti segretari che, grazie anche a Maria Salviati, iniziarono a collaborare con Cosimo I fin dal momento della sua elezione: Angelo Marzi, Francesco Campana, Ugolino Grifoni e Lelio Torelli. Essi avevano infatti già iniziato a lavorare per i Medici a Firenze o nello Stato pontificio tra gli anni Dieci e Venti del Cinquecento, e la loro lunga esperienza contribuì certamente al successo del principato mediceo nei suoi primi e travagliati anni di vita.
Il privilegio delle armi. La Milizia Nazionale nel Ducato di Mantova (secoli XVI-­XVIII)
Authors: Pagano Emanuele
Published: September 2024

Nella formazione degli Stati territoriali moderni in connessione con la military revolution, accanto agli eserciti professionali un fenomeno caratteristico fu il costituirsi di "milizie": forze armate permanenti di riserva, a basso costo, reclutate dai sovrani attraverso leve selettive di sudditi. Tale servizio militare, gratuito in linea di principio, era incentivato dall'ambìto porto d'armi e da privilegi fiscali e giudiziari. In questo contributo incentrato sul ducato di Mantova, piccolo Stato dall'alto valore strategico, l'autore, utilizzando fonti primarie inedite e inserendosi in chiave comparativa nel rinnovato filone storiografico del "militare", offre un'approfondita analisi della "Milizia Nazionale" creata dai Gonzaga e mantenuta sotto la Casa d'Austria. Impiegata in compiti vari – presidio, autodifesa territoriale, protezione civile, contrasto alla criminalità – la milizia mantovana fu istituzione precoce e duratura, dato il suo impianto speculare alle gerarchie e ai sistemi clientelari della società.
Scegliere tra pace e guerra nella monarchia spagnola al tempo di Filippo II: la rivolta genovese del 1575 come caso di studio
Authors: pacini Arturo
Published: September 2024

In questo saggio è affrontato come caso di studio il processo decisionale che, tra l'aprile e il luglio del 1575, portò Filippo II ad autorizzare i nobili vecchi genovesi a prendere le armi contro la repubblica per risolvere la contesa con i nobili nuovi, saliti al potere a seguito di una rivolta popolare avvenuta alla metà di marzo. La documentazione pervenutaci consente di ricostruire nel dettaglio sia la fase informativa, sia quella consultiva, demandata al Consiglio di stato, sia quella decisionale, che venne gestita nel massimo segreto da Filippo II e dal suo segretario Antonio Pérez. La possibilità di illuminare, almeno in parte, quello che Arndt Brendecke ha definito il «black box of decision-­making» permette di confrontare i risultati del caso di studio con alcune tendenze della storiografia sulla monarchia spagnola del cinque-­seicento, che negli ultimi quarant'anni ha cambiato a più riprese punti di osservazione, concetti chiave e visioni d'insieme.
(Anti) Risorgimento di massa / Politica di massa e controrivoluzione. Alcune note comparative. Da Napoli all'Europa / La monarchia populista
Authors: Fruci Gian Luca , Isabella Maurizio , Mellone Viviana
Published: September 2024

Il contributo manifesta apprezzamento per l'operazione storiografica raffinata di analizzare il caso di studio della campagna di petizioni per l'abrogazione della costituzione del 1848 nelle Due Sicilie di metà XIX secolo, inserendolo nel quadro di un'indagine più ampia sulla controrivoluzione nel Mezzogiorno borbonico e sull'architettura del potere di Ferdinando II che si fonda su un nuovo assolutismo di stampo populista (se non plebeista). Al contempo, si sviluppano alcune considerazioni critiche riguardo l'interpretazione delle elezioni del 1848 e del plebiscito di unificazione del 1860 proposte dal libro di Marco Meriggi con riferimento al dibattito sul Risorgimento e l'Anti Risorgimento di massa.

L'intervento mette in relazione il lavoro di Marco Meriggi con le recenti revisioni storiografiche sulla natura del Risorgimento e sulla dimensione popolare dei movimenti controrivoluzionari europei. Inserisce il realismo popolare napoletano del 1848 nel più ampio quadro europeo, paragonandolo con fenomeni simili apparsi in Francia, Portogallo e Spagna negli stessi decenni. Infine richiama l'attenzione sulla flessibilità e la porosità degli schieramenti politici ottocenteschi.

L'intervento si sofferma su di un aspetto specifico della monarchia assoluta di Ferdinando II di Borbone così come emerge dal volume di Marco Meriggi: il suo definirsi, dopo la rivoluzione del 1848, sulla scia della volontà popolare. Vista da tale prospettiva, la ricerca di Meriggi sottrae il Mezzogiorno borbonico al paradigma dell'eccezionalità negativa e offre all'autrice la possibilità di confrontare il caso napoletano con le monarchie francese, britannica, russa e spagnola della prima metà del XIX secolo. La comparazione, intrecciata alla considerazione delle altre politiche del governo ferdinandeo esaminate in studi recenti, consente di comprendere la spinta di fondo nella ricerca del consenso popolare: creare una nazione napoletana moderna e – allo stesso tempo – orientata ideologicamente in senso reazionario che competesse con le moderne nazioni liberali.
«Devi stare attento quando lavori». Sfruttamento, salute e accesso alle cure dei lavoratori stranieri in agricoltura
Authors: Berti Fabio , Mascagni Giulia
Published: September 2024

L'articolo affronta il tema dei percorsi di prevenzione e di accesso alle cure dei lavoratori stranieri occupati in agricoltura in Toscana; in particolare, si soffer-ma sulle conseguenze dello sfruttamento del lavoro sul benessere dei migranti più fragili e vulnerabili che svolgono le mansioni più gravose, pericolose e disprezzate. Dopo aver tracciato il quadro di riferimento relativo ai rischi di infortunio e alle condizioni di salute dei lavoratori stranieri in Toscana e dopo aver descritto l'impianto metodologico della ricerca, l'articolo si concentra sui principali risul-tati emersi prestando specifica attenzione a tre dimensioni: al rischio di depaupe-ramento del capitale di salute, anche ma non solo per cause lavoro correlate; al-la salute come "fatto privato" del lavoratore e alla carenza di reti formali e isti-tuzioni capaci di una presa in cura tempestiva ed efficace; ai limiti e alle oppor-tunità della medicina del lavoro nell'intervento rivolto ai migranti più vulnerabi-li.
«Abbiamo male dappertutto». Un'esperienza d'inchiesta e lotta sindacale per la prevenzione dei rischi e delle nocività a partire dalle soggettività operaie
Authors: Salvador Ottavia
Published: September 2024

In un contesto caratterizzato da violenza strutturale, diseguaglianze sociali ed economie della sofferenza, i sintomi determinati da condizioni di sfruttamento lavorativo sono qui intesi come indizi paradigmatici attraverso i quali rivelare stati di sofferenza altrimenti invisibili e mostrare la traumatica realtà di una sto-ria collettiva. Si tratta di sintomi insieme individuali, sociali e politici che posso-no suscitare percorsi di riconoscimento, resistenza e guarigione se queste tre di-mensioni non sono disgiunte nella costruzione di un discorso critico su patologie, società e prassi. Questa prospettiva attinge al dibattito internazionale dell'antro-pologia medica, alle inchieste ed esperienze operaie di auto-organizzazione e non-delega sulla prevenzione dei rischi e delle nocività nei luoghi di lavoro che si sono sviluppate in Italia negli anni sessanta e settanta, e, soprattutto, a un per-corso collettivo d'inchiesta e lotta sindacale che ha avuto inizio in due stabili-menti del comparto carni di Modena nel 2023.
Dual mastering and labour exploitation: Life and work stories of Romanian women in home care in Italy from Romania
Authors: Corvino Isabella , Petrescu Claudia , Sodano Pina
Published: September 2024

The study analyses the dual nature of mastering in the specific context of home care with reference to Romanian women employed in Italian families through life stories collected in Italy and Romania. This duality stems from the overlap between personal and work time in the home environment. The surveillance of Romanian domestic workers by the employers are combined with prejudices and sometimes sexual urges, expressed through verbal and non-verbal language, to define a coercive and segregating way of life and work, with consequences for workers in terms of exploitation, mental health and dependence on the employers' needs, even to the extent of defining specific workers'transnational relationships with the family of origin and its social network. The processes of dehumanisation and exploitation will be analysed by interviewing women who have worked in care of Romanian nationalities and who have lived or still live in Italy. The analysis of the concept of dor, a Romanian word meaning the longing for what one has left behind and the yearning for what one will no longer find, leads to the formulation of a hypothesis while considering Romanian women employed in Italy in the ethnicized labour market: their being considered as less ‘immigrant'. In other words, as European care givers' flows are not well controlled, it creates more favorable conditions for irregular work. This is a condition of masking or hiding persistent conditions of marginality and subordination.
