Published: October 2021

Adolescence is an important stage in a child’s developmental transition to adulthood. Internal and external factors are believed to extensively influence teenage sexual behaviors, including self-concept. Consequently, several unwanted pregnancies were reported in Dlingo village. Therefore, community-based preventive interventions appear very necessary. These efforts tend to increase awareness after series of psycho-educational activities. The results showed a significant improvement among adolescents, in terms of demonstrating sufficient psychological development and positive self-concept. Furthermore, the cadres also demonstrated an increasing comprehension of adolescent and effective communication. Therefore, it is expected that the provisions of integrated healthcare services are without severe obstacles.

Published: October 2021

Adolescents encounter various changes, including biological, mental and social behaviors during the transition stage. Several developmental tasks also need to be fulfilled, although certain obstacles appear inevitable. Failure to overcome these challenges tends to adversely impact mental health, and as a result, multiple cases have been reported in the psychology unit of a major Kotagede Health Center in Yogyakarta. Also, stress have been described as a contributing factor, leading to physical pain or somatization, relationship conflicts with parents and friends, anxiety as well as depression. Therefore, it is necessary to initiate community-based preventive interventions. The results showed an increase in the knowledge of adolescents and parents after the psycho-education. Additionally, the teenagers obtained sufficient information about the developmental phase, importance of self-awareness and effective communication to appropriately assist peers facing related problems. Parents also tend to be increasingly conscious of their involvement in adolescent growth, and were more patient, empathetic, and non-judgmental. This awareness and comprehension also supported parents in fostering effective communication and encouraging openness with the children.

Food modification is still quite common in the community, especially the processing of candy, jelly drinks and dawet. The manufacture of candy, jelly drinks and dawet can be modified from the raw material of grass jelly leaves which have a lot of protein and vitamin content. The women of the Teger Farmer Group, Mangunsari Village, Gunungpati District, Semarang City mostly work as farmers and factory workers and do not quite know what food modification is, especially those made from grass jelly leaves. There are many grass jelly plants in the environment around the Teger Farmer Group that have not been utilized until now, so we aim to provide information to the Teger Farmer Group's mothers about preparations made from grass jelly leaves, which can be made into candy, dawet and jelly drinks that have a lot of content. nutrition. The service method was carried out with lectures, discussions and simulations of making processed products. The results of the service revealed that the Teger Farmers' Group, Mangunsari Village, Gunungpati District, Semarang City, mostly had eaten dawet and grass jelly drink, but had never eaten grass jelly candy. In addition, they also do not know how to make sweets, jelly drinks and dawet from grass jelly, and do not know what the ingredients are. Furthermore, at the end of this service activity, partners better understand how to make and nutritional content of all processed products from grass jelly.

Published: October 2021

ABSTRACT The purpose of the study was to explore challenges of Virtual Instruction during the COVID-19 Pandemic in Accounting Classrooms. A qualitative research approach and a case study design was used. 10 Accounting teachers were purposively selected. Thematic data analysis was used. The study shows challenges of virtual classroom like lack of teacher readiness, and ready infrastructure to support the virtual learning. The study concludes that rural schools and those that are in semi-urban areas needs to be priorities when technology resources are distributed. Teachers who are in rural and semi-urban areas needs to be up-skilled with technological skills. The study recommends that Network companies should partner with education sector in order to supply data, connectivity, and accessibility by zero- rising then to support virtual classroom learning. After the COVID-19 all teachers should be encouraged to attend various forms of online workshops in order to improve their understanding of online teaching.

Background: Reported sex distributions differ between frontotemporal dementia (FTD) cohorts. Possible explanations are the evolving clinical criteria of FTD and its subtypes and the discovery of FTD causal genetic mutations that has resulted in varying demographics. Objective: Our aim was to determine the sex distribution of sporadic and genetic FTD cases and its subtypes in an international cohort. Methods: We included 910 patients with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD; n = 654), non-fluent variant primary progressive aphasia (nfvPPA; n = 99), semantic variant primary progressive aphasia (svPPA; n = 117), and right temporal variant frontotemporal dementia (rtvFTD; n = 40). We compared sex distribution between genetic and sporadic FTD using χ2-tests. Results: The genetic FTD group consisted of 51.2% males, which did not differ from sporadic FTD (57.8% male, p = 0.08). In the sporadic bvFTD subgroup, males were predominant in contrast to genetic bvFTD (61.6% versus 52.9% males, p = 0.04). In the other clinical FTD subgroups, genetic cases were underrepresented and within the sporadic cases the sex distribution was somewhat equal. Conclusion: The higher male prevalence in sporadic bvFTD may provide important clues for its differential pathogenesis and warrants further research.

Authors: Shukla Deepika , Mandal Pravat K. , Mishra Ritwick , Punjabi Khushboo , Dwivedi Divya , Tripathi Manjari , Badhautia Vaishali
Published: October 2021

Background: Oxidative stress plays a major role in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathogenesis, and thus, antioxidant glutathione (GSH) has been actively investigated in mitigating the oxidative load. Significant hippocampal GSH depletion has been correlated with cognitive impairment in AD. Furthermore, postmortem studies indicated alterations in cellular-energy metabolism and hippocampal pH change toward alkalinity in AD. Objective: Concurrent analysis of hippocampal GSH and pH interplay in vivo on the same individual is quite unclear and hence requires investigation to understand the pathological events in AD. Methods: Total 39 healthy old (HO), 22 mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and 37 AD patients were recruited for hippocampal GSH using 1H-MRS MEGA-PRESS and pH using 2D 31P-MRSI with dual tuned (1H/31P) transmit/receive volume head coil on 3T-Philips scanner. All MRS data processing using KALPANA package and statistical analysis were performed MedCalc, respectively and NINS-STAT package. Results: Significant GSH depletion in the left and right hippocampus (LH and RH) among MCI and AD study groups as compared to HO was observed, whereas pH increased significantly in the LH region between HO and AD. Hippocampal GSH level negatively correlated with pH in both patient groups. The ROC analysis on the combined effect of GSH and pH in both hippocampal regions give accuracy for MCI (LH: 78.27%; RH: 86.96%) and AD (LH: 88%; RH: 78.26%) groups differentiating from HO. Conclusion: Outcomes from this study provide further insights to metabolic alterations in terms of concurrent assessment of hippocampal GSH and pH levels in AD pathogenesis, aiding in early diagnosis of MCI and AD.
Quantifying the Onset of Unintended Weight Loss in Huntington’s Disease: A Retrospective Analysis of Enroll-HD
Authors: Ogilvie Amy C. , Nopoulos Peg C. , Schultz Jordan L.
Published: October 2021

Background:

Unintended weight loss and decreased body mass indexes (BMIs) are common symptoms of individuals with manifest HD. It is unknown at what point during disease progression weight loss starts to accelerate relative to a healthy individual’s weight and when recommended interventions should be initiated to have the strongest impact on patient care.

Objective:

The objective of this study was to identify a point in time relative to age at motor onset when the decline in weight in HD starts to accelerate relative to a non-HD population. The relationship between initiation of weight loss interventions and changes in weight loss was also explored.

Methods:

Participants from the fifth version of the Enroll-HD study were identified for this research. Linear mixed-effects piecewise regression models were used to estimate the point in time relative to the reported age of motor onset in which BMI started to decline in participants with HD compared to healthy non-HD controls. A post-hoc descriptive analysis was performed to look at when nutritional supplements and swallow therapy were initiated in participants with HD relative to motor onset.

Results:

BMI decline in the HD group began to accelerate compared to controls approximately 5.7 years after the reported age of motor onset (95% CI: 4.7–6.9). The average initiation times of swallow therapy and nutritional supplements were 7.7 years (SD = 5.5 years) and 6.7 years (SD = 6.5 years) after motor onset, respectively.

Conclusion:

Our findings suggest a potential point for intervention of nutrition programs or therapies used to prevent future weight loss.
Interval fuzzy probability method for power transformer multiple fault diagnosis
Authors: Zhou Lintao , Wu Qinge , Chen Hu , Hu Tao
Published: October 2021

Accurately diagnosing power transformer faults is critical to improving the operational reliability of power systems. Although some researchers have made great efforts to improve the accuracy of transformer fault diagnosis, accurate diagnosis of multiple faults is still a difficult problem. In order to improve the accuracy of transformer multiple faults diagnosis, a multiple fault diagnosis method based on interval fuzzy probability is proposed. Different from the previous methods which provide single-value probability, this method use probability interval to represent the occurrence degree of various possible faults, which can objectively predict the potential faults that occurring in a transformer and provide a more reasonable explanation for the diagnosis results. In the proposed method, the interval fuzzy set is used to describe the evaluation of state variables and the interval fuzzy probability model based on interval weighted average is applied to integrate the fault information. The representative matrix of fault types based on fuzzy preference relationship is established to estimate the relative importance of each gas in the dissolved gases. The proposed method can provide the probability of probable faults in transformer, help engineers quickly determine the type and location of faults, and improve the accuracy of diagnosis and maintenance efficiency of transformer. The effectiveness of the method is verified with case studies.

Published: October 2021

To solve the problems of strong infrared radiation, poor continuous combat capability of the system, serious ablation of the launching device, and environmental pollution of the existing missile launching system, electromagnetic launch system (EMLS) has been studied for missile launch system. Combining the situation that the current research on missile electromagnetic launch system (MEMLS) mainly focuses on the key technical points and the deficiencies in the previous research on MEMLS, this paper establishes an effectiveness prediction model based on GRA-PCA-LSSVM, and discusses the investment efficiency of the system based on DEA. The experimental results prove that the established model is reasonable, effective and superior, and provides a reference for the further improvement and development of MEMLS.
Learning intents behind interactions with high-order graph for session-based intelligent recommendation
Authors: Wang Jianfeng , Wang Ruomei , Liu Shaohui
Published: October 2021

Session-based recommendation is an overwhelming task owing to the inherent ambiguity in anonymous behaviors. Graph convolutional neural networks are receiving wide attention for session-based recommendation research for the sake of their ability to capture the complex transitions of interactions between sessions. Recent research on session-based recommendations mainly focuses on sequential patterns by utilizing graph neural networks. However, it is undeniable that proposed methods are still difficult to capture higher-order interactions between contextual interactions in the same session and has room for improvement. To solve it, we propose a new method based on graph attention mechanism and target oriented items to effectively propagate information, HOGAN for brevity. Higher-order graph attention networks are used to select the importance of different neighborhoods in the graph that consists of a sequence of user actions for recommendation applications. The complementarity between high-order networks is adopted to aggregate and propagate useful signals from the long distant neighbors to solve the long-range dependency capturing problem. Experimental results consistently display that HOGAN has a significantly improvement to 71.53% on precision for the Yoochoose1_64 dataset and enhances the property of the session-based recommendation task.
Performance measurement of decision making units through interval efficiency with slacks-based measure: an application to tourist hotels in Taipei
Authors: An Qingxian , Zhang Ruiyi , Shen Yongchang
Published: October 2021

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is widely used to evaluate the performance of a group of homogeneous decision making units (DMUs). Considering the uncertainty, interval DEA has been introduced to fit into more situations. In this paper, an interval efficiency method based on slacks-based measure is proposed to solve the uncertain problems in DEA. Firstly, the maximum and minimum efficiency values of the evaluated DMU are calculated by the furthest and closest distance from the evaluated DMU to the projection points on the Pareto-efficient frontier, respectively. Then, the AHP method is used for the full ranking of DMUs. The paper uses the pairwise comparison relationship between each pair of DMUs to construct the interval multiplicative preference relations (IMPRs) matrix. If the matrix does not meet the consistency condition, a method to obtain consistency IMPRs is introduced. According to the consistency judgment matrix, the full ranking of DMUs can be obtained. Finally, we apply our method to the performance evaluation of 12 tourist hotels in Taipei in 2019.

Published: October 2021

In agricultural production, weed removal is an important part of crop cultivation, but inevitably, other plants compete with crops for nutrients. Only by identifying and removing weeds can the quality of the harvest be guaranteed. Therefore, the distinction between weeds and crops is particularly important. Recently, deep learning technology has also been applied to the field of botany, and achieved good results. Convolutional neural networks are widely used in deep learning because of their excellent classification effects. The purpose of this article is to find a new method of plant seedling classification. This method includes two stages: image segmentation and image classification. The first stage is to use the improved U-Net to segment the dataset, and the second stage is to use six classification networks to classify the seedlings of the segmented dataset. The dataset used for the experiment contained 12 different types of plants, namely, 3 crops and 9 weeds. The model was evaluated by the multi-class statistical analysis of accuracy, recall, precision, and F1-score. The results show that the two-stage classification method combining the improved U-Net segmentation network and the classification network was more conducive to the classification of plant seedlings, and the classification accuracy reaches 97.7%.

Published: October 2021

The aim of this work was to evaluate lemon-scented gum (Corymbia citriodora) extracts in inhibiting the in vitro growth of Xanthomonas spp. The treatments consisted of aqueous, infusion, alcoholic and boiling extracts, in addition to the control with antibiotics. The methodology used to assess the antagonism was the double layer diffusion. The extracts were tested at 50, 35 and 15% concentration. None of the extracts inhibited the growth of X. citri pv. glycines, only the antibiotic bacitracin. As for X. vesicatoria, it was observed that only the alcoholic extract of C. citriodora leaves inhibited its growth, with emphasis on the 35% alcoholic extract, in addition to the antibiotics streptomycin and bacitracin. The growth of X. campestris was inhibited by alcoholic and aqueous extracts, highlighted on 50% and 35% alcoholic and 50% aqueous extracts, as well as by streptomycin and penicillin. The aqueous and alcoholic extracts of lemon-scented gum showed potential in the in vitro control of Xanthomonas and new studies will be carried out with new concentrations and in vivo control of diseases caused by these bacteria.

Authors: Dendasck Carla Viana , Santos Rogério Bongestab dos , Santos Vitor Maia , Andrade Tadeu Uggere de , Pflug Adriano Ribeiro Meyer
Published: October 2021

L’obésité est une maladie chronique multifactorielle. Le patient peut présenter plusieurs conditions cliniques qui lui sont associées. Le tableau clinique est complexe, ce qui peut entraver l’utilisation de traitements et de méthodes conventionnels. La chirurgie bariatrique est un traitement efficace à long terme pour cette condition. Basé sur une revue de la littérature, l’article vise à discuter de l’importance du suivi psychologique et nutritionnel post-bariatrique. La question fondamentale qui sous-tère cette étude est la suivante: comment les stratégies typiques de la période postopératoire peuvent-elles contribuer à ce que l’individu subisse une intervention chirurgicale accorde une plus grande importance à son alimentation et à sa santé mentale? La stratégie de traitement la plus efficace a été la chirurgie bariatrique, cependant, l’évaluation multidisciplinaire qui note l’état biologique, social et psychologique du patient est fondamentale, car les changements psychopathologiques sont communs aux personnes obèses. Bien que la chirurgie bariatrique contribue à l’amélioration de la qualité de vie des patients, il faut accorder une plus grande attention au traitement postopératoire. Ces personnes doivent être encouragées à poursuivre leur suivi nutritionnel et psychologique pendant la période postopératoire, afin qu’il soit possible de prévenir d’éventuelles complications à moyen et à long terme.

Published: October 2021

Adipositas ist eine multifaktorielle chronische Erkrankung. Der Patient kann mehrere damit verbundene klinische Zustände haben. Das Krankheitsbild ist komplex, was den Einsatz konventioneller Behandlungen und Methoden erschweren kann. Die bariatrische Chirurgie ist eine wirksame Langzeitbehandlung für diese Erkrankung. Basierend auf einer Literaturrecherche zielt der Artikel darauf ab, die Bedeutung der postbariatrischen psychologischen und ernährungsphysiologischen Nachsorge zu diskutieren. Die dieser Studie zugrunde liegende Leitfrage lautet: Wie können typische postoperative Strategien dazu beitragen, dass der Patient, der sich einer Operation unterzieht, seiner Ernährung und psychischen Gesundheit mehr Bedeutung beimisst? Die effektivste Behandlungsstrategie war die Durchführung einer bariatrischen Chirurgie, jedoch ist die multidisziplinäre Beurteilung, die den biologischen, sozialen und psychologischen Status des Patienten bewertet, unerlässlich, da psychopathologische Veränderungen bei adipösen Personen üblich sind. Obwohl die bariatrische Chirurgie zu einer Verbesserung der Lebensqualität der Patienten beiträgt, muss der postoperativen Behandlung mehr Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt werden. Diese Personen sollten ermutigt werden, die ernährungsphysiologische und psychologische Nachsorge in der postoperativen Phase fortzusetzen, um mittel- und langfristig möglichen Komplikationen vorzubeugen.

Le fragilità della montagna. Tra micro (innov)azioni e grandi eventi
Authors: Corrado Federica
Published: October 2021

Le montagne si configurano come un mosaico di territori, estremamente complesso e diversi-ficato, oggi protagonisti di percorsi di rigenerazione che partono dalla re-interpretazione delle risorse locali da parte delle comunità montane. Le fragilità delle montagne, pur in parte costi-tuendo elementi strutturanti i territori stessi, hanno determinato forme di marginalità oggi rivi-ste come opportunità. In relazione a questa diversa visione della marginalità, l'articolo propo-ne alcune riflessioni sulla capacità di alcuni territori di invertire il loro cammino approdando verso nuove forme di sviluppo. Si tratta di esempi che mettono in luce il valore delle risorse locali e quello dei processi di ibridazione tra esterno e interno quale chiave di volta del percor-so. Fuori da ogni retorica, l'articolo mette in luce come infatti siano necessarie alcune condi-zioni affinché si possa attivare un tale percorso di rigenerazione. Infine, facendo riferimento alla situazione di contatto di molte aree montane fortemente fragili con aree invece globalizzate dai fenomeni del turismo di massa e dei grandi eventi, nell'articolo si mette in evidenza una ri-lettura di queste situazioni di contatto come occasione in termini di costruzione di un sistema territoriale che integra le varie parti, producendo ri-equilibrio e valore aggiunto territoriale
Ripensare l'italia a partire dalle periferie: il caso del conselvano alla luce della pandemia di covid-19

Published: October 2021

La ricerca ha come scenario alcune municipalità situate nella zona Sud di Padova, chiamata comunemente Bassa Padovana. Un territorio liminale, ritagliato negli interstizi tra zone di influenza urbane e vie di transito tra entroterra e mare. Un'area non tanto fragile, quanto piuttosto "non vista" e in parte dimenticata. L'obiettivo iniziale del nostro lavoro era co-costruire con gli attori locali una mappa generativa di comunità in vista di un futuro piano di sviluppo in termini di aumento dell'attrattiva dell'area in chiave turistica. Sfida complessa portare avanti durante il lockdown un progetto di questo tipo, ma questo nuovo scenario ha condotto la ri-cerca ad una svolta imprevista, permettendoci di individuare alcune chiavi di lettura interes-santi per inquadrare questo territorio in un nuovo scenario negli anni a venire. La nostra ricerca si è quindi spostata e concentrata nel far prendere coscienza alla comunità locale delle proprie potenzialità in termini di capacità di "fare rete", guardando anche alle prospettive tracciate dal recente Manifesto per riabitare l'Italia.
Il delta del Po ferrarese. Racconto di una fragilità ambientale e politica
Authors: Farinella Romeo , Seconi Edoardo
Published: October 2021

La storica mutevolezza del paesaggio è paradossalmente il carattere più permanente del Delta del Po. Si parla di un territorio di valli e lagune che è sempre stato povero, ma che fu al centro di una delle operazioni più importanti di colonizzazione nel territorio italiano. Il Delta nel do-poguerra fu oggetto di ipotesi progettuali che, se realizzate, lo avrebbero devastato, ben oltre quanto successo con le urbanizzazioni costiere anche perché negli anni del boom economico si puntava alla "modernizzazione" ma si iniziò anche a parlare di Parco del Delta del Po. Altra fragilità ricorrente è certamente quella ambientale associata ai temi del rischio idraulico, dell'ingressione salina, dell'urbanizzazione turistica diffusa e senza qualità, dell'innalzamento del livello del mare. Il Delta costituisce uno straordinario laboratorio di ricerca progettuale sui temi posti dai cambiamenti climatici, necessario per definire strategie centrate su conflitti, con-traddizioni e opportunità.
Territori disarmati. Giampilieri: il totem della ricostruzione
Authors: A. Arena Marina
Published: October 2021

È in atto un nuovo interesse nei confronti della smallness che non sia solo l'esito della lettura dei piccoli centri dal binocolo della grande scala. Oggi questi luoghi generano molteplici visioni, anche contrapposte: c'e` una grande attenzione al tema della fragilità e dell'abbandono così come a quello del ritorno ai luoghi. Il piccolo centro di Giampilieri Superiore (ME) rap-presenta una situazione particolare, essendo non abbastanza vicino al mare per rientrare tra gli insediamenti turistici costieri e non abbastanza lontano dal mare per poter rientrare nei progetti destinati alle aree interne (Snai); e se la frana del 2009 non lo avesse riportato alla ribalta nazionale per le 37 vittime sarebbe rimasto nel suo marginale anonimato. Invece, paradossalmente, proprio il disastro lo ha riportato al centro. Ma il totem della ricostruzione attraverso imponenti opere di ingegneria ha prevalso su una idea di sviluppo economico e sociale della comunità.

Published: October 2021

Numerosi studi hanno sottolineato l'importanza della capacità di identificare e descrivere le emozioni, come centrale rispetto al benessere psicologico in adolescenza. Sono pochi gli studi che hanno però indagato le difficoltà alessitimiche degli adolescenti, in relazione al funzionamento familiare. Nel presente studio gli autori si sono posti l'obiettivo di indagare le difficoltà alessitimiche di adolescenti appartenenti alla popolazione generale, in relazione al loro funzio-namento familiare, tenendo in considerazione il proprio rischio psicopatologico. Il campione era composto da N = 314 famiglie con adolescenti. Gli adolescenti hanno compilato alcuni questionari self-report per la valutazione delle difficoltà alessitimiche e del rischio psicopatologico e madri, padri e adolescenti hanno compilato un questionario per la valutazione del funzionamento familiare. Al fine di verificare la presenza di eventuali differenti funzionamenti familiari, gli autori hanno condotto una cluster analysis, identificando quattro profili distinti di funzionamento familiare. È stata poi condotta un'analisi di covarianza che ha evidenziato una maggiore somatizzazione e ostilità in adolescenti con famiglie che mostrano una minore coesione e flessibilità e maggiori livelli di ipercoinvolgimento, o disimpegno. Inoltre, gli adolescenti appartenenti a queste famiglie, riportavano maggiori difficoltà a descrivere le emozioni ed un pensiero maggiormente concreto.

Sebbene sia documentata una maggiore prevalenza del gioco d'azzardo nei ragazzi, tale comportamento sembra interessare sempre più le ragazze. Tuttavia sono relativamente pochi gli studi sulla specificità del gambling nelle adolescenti e mancano lavori di ricerca che abbiano utilizzato strumenti per il comportamento di gioco d'azzardo invarianti per genere. Scopo di questo lavoro era analizzare le caratteristiche del comportamento in adolescenti italiane (Studio 1) e testare un modello in cui sensation seeking e pensiero superstizioso, attraverso la media-zione delle distorsioni cognitive sul gioco d'azzardo, influenzano il comportamento problema-tico di gioco d'azzardo (Studio 2). Per realizzare tale scopo, è stata utilizzata la Gambling Be-havior Scale-For Adolescents, uno strumento che è risultato invariante per genere negli adole-scenti italiani e che permette di rilevare sia le caratteristiche comportamentali che i sintomi di comportamento problematico secondo il DSM-5. Al primo studio hanno partecipato 1527 ado-lescenti femmine (età: M = 15.86; DS = 1.81) ed al secondo 552 adolescenti femmine (età: M = 15.99; DS = 1.34). I risultati hanno confermato che le ragazze prediligono giochi di tipo non strategico, giocano prevalentemente con i familiari, ed intorno agli 11 anni conoscono il gioco d'azzardo. Il 7% delle giocatrici è a rischio di sviluppare problematiche e il 3% ha problemi di gioco. Il modello di mediazione ipotizzato è stato inoltre confermato. Tale modello può quindi essere considerato per la messa a punto di interventi di prevenzione genere-specifici.

Lo scopo del presente studio è quello di analizzare la struttura fattoriale della versione ita-liana della Verbal Commentary on Physical Appearance Scale-Partner (VCOPAS-P; Carriere e Kluck, 2014) volta a cogliere i commenti sull'aspetto fisico ricevuti dal proprio partner. Le partecipanti sono 313 donne italiane. Sono state condotte una item analysis e un'analisi fattoriale confermativa; la validità convergente della scala è stata indagata esaminando le correlazio-ni tra la VCOPAS-P, il Body Shape Questionnaire-14 (BSQ-14), e la Couple Satisfaction Scale (CSS). In linea con la versione originale della scala, la struttura trifattoriale della VCO-PAS-P risulta confermata nella versione italiana: commenti negativi relativi a peso e forma (NWS = 9 item; a = 0.87), commenti positivi relativi a peso e forma (PWS = 4 item; aa 0.70), e commenti positivi relativi all'apparenza in generale (PGA = 7 item; a = 0.87). Per quanto riguarda i risultati della validità convergente, le sottoscale NWS e PWS correlano signi-icativamente con l'insoddisfazione corporea; entrambe le sottoscale PWS e PGA correlano significativamente con la soddisfazione diadica. Questi risultati suggeriscono che la VCO-PAS-P potrebbe rappresentare uno strumento utile ed attendibile per misurare, nelle giovani donne italiane, i commenti relativi all'apparenza ricevuti dal proprio partner.
Per un progetto nazionale di psicologia di cure primarie
Authors: Liuzzi Michele
Published: October 2021

L'articolo riporta un'esperienza di intervento di psicologia di cure primarie a Torino, nel quale vengono affrontati i temi più rilevanti, le caratteristiche, i punti di forza e le criticità di tali progetti. L'intento è quello di fornire informazioni e dati al fine di dare un ulteriore contributo al dibattito all'interno della comunità scientifica che porti alla creazione di servizi di psicologia di cure primarie a livello nazionale. Vengono presentati gli aspetti cruciali che caratterizzano il modello, accessibilità, gradualità, efficacia clinica e costo–efficacia. Accessibilità poiché tali servizi devono essere posizionati sul territorio, vicini ai luoghi di vita dei cittadini, flessibili e inclusivi. Gradualità poiché gli in-terventi debbono essere appropriati come intensità rispetto alle esigenze di salute. Efficacia cli-nica poiché è fondamentale dare il giusto trattamento al determinato disturbo del paziente. Co-sto-efficacia poiché gli interventi debbono essere appropriati al problema del paziente, tempe-stivi in modo da anticipare patologizzazione e cronicità, e inoltre devono svolgere una funzione di filtro per i servizi secondari e i dipartimenti di emergenza. Vengono altresì presentati alcuni risultati rispetto al medical cost offset di tali interventi, in particolare sugli effetti pre-post che l'intervento ha generato su prescrizioni farmacologiche, numero di invii ai servizi specialistici, e numero di visite dal medico di famiglia. Questi progetti nelle realtà internazionali più avanzate sono da tempo operanti, e le recenti vicende (Decreto Calabria) sono una testimonianza di quanto sia necessario realizzare tali ser-vizi. L'autore porta quindi alcune proposte in tal senso.

Verso una diagnosi relazionale della schizofrenia
Authors: Pereira Roberto
Published: October 2021

Il rapporto tra la psicopatologia, o meglio, tra la diagnosi psicopatologica, o la psicologia clinica, e la terapia familiare (TF) è comples-so, e si è modificato nel corso del tempo, in base ai cambiamenti che si sono verificati nella TF a partire dalla sua nascita. Questo articolo descrive le due anime che la TF ha sempre manifestato, una contraria e una a favore dell'uso delle diagnosi, rappresentate da Gregory Ba-teson e da Don Jackson, i quali, pur condividendo lo studio della comunicazione tra i pazienti schizofrenici e le loro famiglie, avevano un approccio molto differente ai problemi relazionali e/o psicologici o psichiatrici. La nostra posizione è decisamente favorevole all'uso delle diagnosi, proponendo però un nuovo linguaggio diagnostico relazionale che possa sostituire l'altrimenti inevitabile linguaggio psicopatologico tradizionale. Si propone, in conclusione, una diagnosi dimensionale e relazionale della schizofrenia, basata sulle caratteristiche relazionali descritte in queste famiglie, che permette di definire meglio le aree d'intervento e di analizzare l'evoluzione dell'intervento terapeutico.
L'anello mancante: verso una contestualizzazione del caregiving nell'ambito delle relazioni familiari
Authors: Tramonti Francesco
Published: October 2021

Lo studio del carico assistenziale dei caregivers, ossia delle persone che si prendono cura di chi ha una malattia, riscontra un crescente interesse in ambito sanitario, anche in considerazione del fatto che la ricerca indica che un'assistenza intensa e prolungata può mettere a serio rischio il benessere psicofisico di chi la presta. Gli studi tendono tuttavia a focalizzarsi sulle dimensioni individuali di potenziale distress, o tutt'al più sulle interazioni diadiche tra caregivers e persona malata, trascurando i contesti allargati, familiari e socioculturali, all'interno dei quali è necessario inquadrare il fenomeno del caregi-ving per una sua comprensione il più possibile accurata. Esistono modelli di analisi dei processi di adattamento familiare al-la malattia che possono fornire un contributo prezioso per una conte-stualizzazione delle relazioni di caregiving, oltre che per enucleare le numerose variabili implicate in questi processi relazionali e le loro reciproche e incessanti interazioni. Il tema assume particolare rilevan-za alla luce dei cambiamenti epidemiologici che hanno investito la maggior parte delle società industrializzate negli ultimi decenni e del crescente interesse verso un'inclusione più articolata e sistematica dei trattamenti psicologici e psicoterapici in ambito ospedaliero o nel campo delle cure primarie.
Survivors e legami di coppia

A partire dall'osservazione di tre casi di tre pazienti ricoverati in psichiatria per intenzione suicidaria, aventi in anamnesi un genitore morto suicida, è nata la riflessione che sarà oggetto di questo articolo. Abbiamo notato una somiglianza nei vissuti di questi individui, in particolar modo, connessa alla relazione di coppia e avvalendoci del-la teoria di Elkaim sulla Mappa del Mondo e il Programma Ufficiale, ci siamo chiesti in che misura l'esperienza genitoriale suddetta possa "compromettere" scelte fondamentali, come la scelta del partner. Infatti, abbiamo intercettato nei partner dei nostri pazienti le mede-sime caratteristiche, come l'incapacità di fornire accudimento e sup-porto e abbiamo letto tali aspetti alla luce del concetto di lealtà, pro-posto da Boszormeny-Nagy. Secondo tale approccio, il nostro legame con il sistema di valori e aspettative della famiglia può indurci a per-seguire strade "distruttive".
Sustainability, Territories and Circular Economy

The asymmetry in combining ethics, economic efficiency, intra-generational and inter-generational equity, which characterizes the current governance of the three fundamental functions of the planet's economic systems, is at the origin of the segmented approach to well-being in territories, that is, the inability to be able to satisfy the various demands of the Company without "outsourcing the costs of the scarcity" of capital stocks, generating inequalities and jeopardizing the well-being of future generations. In other words, without being able to pursue an integrated approach to well-being and its sustainability. In this context, the awareness of firms and families of having to adopt new deci-sion-making models, focused on the circular economy, and capable of directing Territories towards a "Circular Economic System" becomes central.
The reform of the third sector in the perspective of sustainable development
Authors: Romano Marina
Published: October 2021

With the issuance of the Third Sector Code in our legal system, the legislator seems to have laid the foundations for the construction of a third sector law, as a sub-system compared to the group of rules that regulate both profit and non-profit pri-vate organizations. The new legislation focuses on the category of Third Sector En-tities, such as private organizations that carry out institutionally an activity of ge-neral interest aimed at civic, solidarity and socially useful purposes and which are subject to transparency, information and control obligations on the activity carried out to encourage tax breaks. The reform also contains a series of innovations that highlight the cultural change regarding the leading role of the third sector in the per-spective of sustainable development.
