Published: October 2023

Pada penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menginvestigasi pengaruh dari variasi komposisi zeolit alam terhadap hasil pirolisis campuran plastik polypropylene (PP) dan polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Dengan bertumpu pada masalah meningkatnya penggunaan plastik sekali pakai, penelitian ini menerapkan teknologi pirolisis untuk mengubah sampah plastik menjadi bahan bakar minyak. Zeolit alam ditambahkan sebagai katalis dalam pirolisis dengan persentase variasi 5%, 10%, dan 15%. Eksperimen dilakukan dengan memanaskan campuran plastik dalam reaktor selama 2 hingga 3 jam, kemudian hasil pirolisis diukur volume minyaknya. Selain itu, analisis kandungan senyawa sintetik dilakukan menggunakan alat GCMS (Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan zeolit alam memiliki dampak pada kualitas hasil pirolisis. Semakin tinggi persentase zeolit, semakin jernih warna bahan bakar yang dihasilkan, menyerupai bahan bakar premium. Selain itu, waktu pirolisis juga dipengaruhi oleh penambahan zeolit, dengan waktu yang semakin singkat seiring peningkatan persentase zeolit. Analisis menggunakan(GCMS) mengungkapkan bahwa variasi komposisi zeolit berpengaruh pada jumlah zat senyawa komponen sintetik yang dihasilkan. Kesimpulannya, penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa zeolit alam memiliki potensi sebagai katalis dalam proses pirolisis plastik campuran PP dan PET. Penambahan zeolit dapat meningkatkan kualitas bahan bakar hasil pirolisis, yang dapat memiliki implikasi positif dalam upaya mengurangi dampak sampah plastik dan mendapatkan sumber energi alternatif. Meskipun demikian, diperlukan penelitian lebih lanjut untuk memahami efek zeolit secara lebih rinci serta untuk mengoptimalkan proses pirolisis secara menyeluruh.

Published: October 2023

With the increasing need for electrical energy today, resulting in the use of fossil fuels also increasing and in line with its development, the use of fossil fuels will experience shrinkage, therefore other alternative energy is needed to overcome the decreasing fossil fuels. One form of energy that exists in nature is wind. Therefore, wind turbines are starting to be used as alternative energy. The purpose of this design is to determine the performance of a 3-blade horizontal axis wind turbine and to determine the effect of wind speed on turbine rotation, output power and efficiency generated by the wind turbine. The design method is to design a horizontal axis wind turbine using 3 blades of PVC material with a diameter of 182 cm. The results of the wind turbine design show the theoretical data at the highest wind speed of 7.3 m/s with 606.92 watts of wind power generated. In these conditions it can be seen that the wind speed and blade diameter greatly affect the output power of the design results.

Published: October 2023

Different investigations lead to the urgent need to generate validated clinical protocols as a tool for medical doctors to orientate patients under risk for a preventive approach to control Alzheimer’s disease. Moreover, there is consensus that the combined effects of risk factors for the disease can be modified according to lifestyle, thus controlling at least 40% of cases. The other fraction of cases are derived from candidate genes and epigenetic components as a relevant factor in AD pathogenesis. At this point, it appears to be of critical relevance the search for molecular biomarkers that may provide information on probable pathological events and alert about early detectable risks to prevent symptomatic events of the disease. These precocious detection markers will then allow early interventions of non-symptomatic subjects at risk. Here, we summarize the status and potential avenues of prevention and highlight the usefulness of biological and reliable markers for AD.

Authors: Ma Junpeng , Liu Feiyan , Xiao Chenggang , Wang Kairan , Liu Zirui
Published: October 2023

The wake effect of wind farm can reduce the incoming wind speed at the wind turbine located in the downstream direction, resulting in the decrease of global output. WRF model adopts a three-layer two-way nested grid division scheme to simulate the upper atmospheric circulation, obtain wind speed, wind direction and other data that can truly reproduce the fluid characteristics of the regional wind farm group. The boundary conditions and solution conditions of CFD model are set, and the computational fluid dynamics model of the region is obtained. WRF is coupled with CFD, and Fitch wake model is introduced into it. By introducing the drag coefficient of wind turbine into the calculation of wind speed and turbulent kinetic energy in CFD-WRF coupling model, the wind field characteristics and wake effect of wind farm are simulated online. Monte Carlo sampling method is used to obtain random wind resource data in CFD-WRF coupling model, and then the sampled data is used to calculate the group output of wind farms, and evaluate the impact of wake effect on wind farm treatment. The experimental results show that this method can effectively analyze the characteristic data of regional wind field, and the calculation time of RANS method is about 3 s. Due to the wake effect, the overall output and efficiency of wind field will be significantly reduced.

Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND: Athletic fatigue is an inescapable issue in competitive sports. It belongs to a physiological response that is triggered when competitive athletes are trained to a critical point. OBJECTIVE: The study aims to explore the relationships involving boxers’ social support, mental fatigue, coach leadership behaviors and psychological resilience. METHODS: 1050 boxers were selected in several provinces across China and investigated on the basis of the Social Support Questionnaire for Athletes, Mental Fatigue Scale, Psychological Resilience Scale, and Leadership Scale for Sport. RESULTS: Boxers’ social support was negatively correlated with mental fatigue and psychological resilience, while it was positively correlated with coach leadership behaviors. Apart from direct effects on mental fatigue, other impacts are imposed by boxers’ social support via mediating effects such as coach leadership behaviors and psychological resilience. The total effect value was -0.18, the direct effect value was -0.08, and the indirect effect value was -0.12; furthermore, coach leadership behaviors and psychological resilience play a mediating role, accounting for 65.57% of the total. CONCLUSION: In order to alleviate the stress from intense competitive training and abate mental fatigue, competitive athletes may be encouraged in subsequent training to seek all-sided social support for social interpersonal relationships. While clarifying the mechanism how the external environment affects individuals, this paper explains the principle of social support on athletes’ psychological fatigue and identifies mutual influences between coaches and athletes.
Retrospective analysis of medical records of patients with postoperative scarring deformities of the perianal area for the period 2011-2021
Authors: Aksan Mykhailo
Published: October 2023

surgical interventions in the perineal area account for a significant proportion of all colorectal operations. Thus, the problem of postoperative scar deformities of the perianal area has been the cause of scientific discussions for many years and remains relevant today. The reason for this is the lack of described clear approaches to the choice of treatment tactics in different clinical situations. That is why the aim of our study is to establish the relationship between clinical and anamnestic data and the choice of treatment methods for patients with postoperative scar deformities. We analyzed the medical records of 214 patients who were diagnosed with postoperative scar deformities. These patients were treated during 2011-2021 in the proctology department of the "Kyiv City Clinical Hospital No. 18". In order to facilitate the presentation of the results of the analysis, we formed 2 groups depending on the method of treatment: the first group included 78 (36.44%) patients who were treated with non-surgical methods; the second group included 136 patients (63.56%) who underwent surgical treatment. First of all, we made a comparison by gender and found that women are probably more prone to the formation of postoperative scar deformity. Also, a possible link between the duration of the disease and the choice of treatment method was found, which was shorter in group 1 compared to group 2. The main complaints of the patients were as follows: stool retention, inability to defecate without enemas, pain during defecation. According to the status localis description, it was found that anal stricture was present in 71 patients in group 1 (91.03%) and 86 (63.24%) in group 2. Regarding the method of treatment, only conservative treatment was performed in 24 patients (11.21%), bougienage - in 54 patients (25.23%), alloplasty - in 59 patients (27.57%), sphincterolevatoroplasty - in 34 patients (15.89%), and combined interventions - in 43 patients (20.09%). It was also found that in 12 cases (5.61%) patients were re-hospitalized, most of them, namely 9 patients, were in-group 1. Therefore, it should be noted that there is a possible relationship between the duration of the disease, patient complaints and the choice of treatment, but a randomized trial is needed to prove this more accurately. It was also found that postoperative scarring deformities occur more often in women, and the most common causes are hemorrhoidectomy, surgical treatment of purulent-necrotic perineal diseases and combined surgical interventions.

Published: October 2023

The article is devoted to the problem of assessing the innovative potential of the enterprise. An enterprise that operates in a competitive market should develop its innovative potential. The innovative potential of the enterprise is a complex category that includes a large number of parameters. The uncertainty of many of them, the lack of clear formulations, clear calculation algorithms leads to the fact that the assessment of innovation potential causes problems and does not always inspire confidence. The main indicators by which the innovation potential of the enterprise is traditionally evaluated have been studied. Assessment methods used in the calculation of innovation potential are considered. The shortcomings of the existing methods have been clarified. A proprietary methodology based on marketing principles is proposed and consists in calculating costs and profits per unit of production at each marketing stage. The profit calculated as the difference between the price and costs will allow to evaluate each specific innovation. The sum of profits from innovations will allow to assess the innovative potential of the enterprise. The developed innovation evaluation scheme at the enterprise is simple and clear, does not require expert evaluations or complex calculations. All information can be obtained from marketing reports. The developed innovation evaluation scheme at the enterprise is simple and clear, does not require expert evaluations or complex calculations. All information can be obtained from marketing reports. The advantage of the method is the availability of data that can be obtained from marketing and accounting reports.

The Russian labor market: Long-term trends and short-term fluctuations
Authors: Kapeliushnikov Rostislav I.
Published: October 2023

This paper provides a statistical portrait of the Russian labor market during the latest period of 2010–2022. The analysis delves into both the long-term trends in its evolution and short-term fluctuations associated with its adjustment to economic downturns. The most noteworthy among the long-term changes are a gradual shrinkage of the labor force and employment, the transition to record low unemployment, a sharp acceleration in worker turnover, and the emergence of an extensive overhang of unfilled job vacancies. During the period under review, the Russian economy experienced three strong adverse macroeconomic shocks — the first sanctions crisis in 2014–2015, the corona crisis in 2000–2021, and the second sanctions crisis, which began in 2022 and is still far from over. The paper provides the evidence that the Russian labor market has retained the same algorithm for accommodation to economic downturns, which it developed back in the 1990s. A distinctive feature of this specific model is that the negative shocks are absorbed predominantly through declines in wages and reductions in working hours, rather than through contraction of employment and surge in unemployment. The general conclusion is that the Russian labor market is undergoing a transition from a functional regime marked by tight labor demand to another characterized by tight labor supply.

Authors: Utomo Bambang Suprayogi Resi , Kusumawati Dyah Sari , Saputra Egon Ilman , Hanny Hervina Restianty
Published: October 2023

Background: Povidone Iodine (PVP-I) is a well-known antiseptic and chemical compound to kill and inhibit the growth of microorganisms. Povidone Iodine 5% antiseptics are expected to have similar or better clinical efficacy compared with topical antibiotics in Chronic Suppurate Otitis Media (CSOM) patients but this is not fully clear. Topical antibiotics can also come in the form of ear drops. Topical antibiotics are the standard in CSOM patient therapy. This study aimed to discover Povidone Iodine 5% in terms of clinical efficacy in CSOM patients. Method: This research was conducted in accordance with the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Review and Intervention, in adherence with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. All clinical trial studies comparing Povidone Iodine with topical antibiotics in CSOM management were performed in several databases including Google Scholar, PubMed, Springer Link, and Cochrane. The collected data from a number of samples have improved each study, seen by the clinical signs and symptoms. Results: A total of 407 research articles were included in this analysis then we had 24 works of literature. Final decision, only 2 literature met the criteria to review. Al-Abbasi et al study, PVP-I 5% recovered 13/16 (81.2%), Neomycin + Dexamethasone 11/16 (68.7%) and saline 4/16 (25%). Jaya et al study, PVP-I-5% recovered: 16/18 (88.8%), Ciprofloxacin 0.3%: 19/21 (90.4%), and no side effects were found in both studies. Conclusion: Our analysis revealed that PVP-I 5% have similar treatment as great as the efficacy of topical antibiotics, and there were no side effects of treatment. More evidence-based research is needed to determine the effectiveness of topical PVP-I 5% in the treatment of CSOM.

Published: October 2023

Background: Down syndrome (DS) is a genetic disorder that occurs due to an excess of genetic material on chromosome 21. Down syndrome was associated with various congenital abnormalities and dysfunction of several organs, one of which was hearing. DS patients often experience sensorineural hearing loss. Evaluation of sensorineural hearing loss in DS patients could be done in several ways, one of which is the Otoacoustic Emission (OAE) examination. Purpose: This study aimed to describe the results of the OAE examination in elementary school children at special need schools in Padang City in 2022. Methods: This research was a descriptive study, using a cross sectional study design. Data were collected and processed using consecutive sampling technique. The research subjects who met the criteria were 31 samples. Results: The results showed that the majority of DS subjects received “refer” results 25/31 on OAE examination, OAE “refer” results occurred both in one ear or both ears. The “refer” results of the OAE were greater in male DS patients 20/24 than female 5/7 and more common in the 18-21 year old age group. Conclusion: Conclusions based on this study, people with DS are more at risk of having sensorineural hearing loss.

Atualmente, tem-se observado um aumento na demanda por água engarrafada, devido à insatisfação da população com a qualidade da água fornecida pelos órgãos públicos. O presente estudo buscou avaliar a presença de P. aeruginosa formadora de biofilme em água potável engarrafada. Foram selecionadas trinta e cinco amostras típicas de água engarrafada para identificar a presença de P. aeruginosa e sua capacidade de formar biofilme bacteriano. A metodologia usada para verificar a presença de P. aeruginosa seguiu a técnica do tubo múltiplo e a avaliação da capacidade de formação de biofilme seguiu a técnica de microdiluição, com a leitura da capacidade óptica por espectrofotometria a 620 nm. A presença de P. aeruginosa foi detectada em 26% das amostras analisadas, representando nove das 35 amostras testadas. Dessas, 55% tinham a capacidade de formar biofilme. O presente estudo mostra que a presença de P. aeruginosa, capaz de formar biofilmes, é um fator de risco para a saúde pública devido à ampla comercialização de água engarrafada.
Riflessività e pratiche del sé professionale
Authors: Oliverio Stefano
Published: October 2023

Dopo aver delineato l'importanza epocale della figura del professionista riflessivo, in questo articolo si rivolge l'attenzione alle critiche che la nozione ha sollevato. In particolare si discute l'accusa secondo la quale la professionalità riflessiva sarebbe complice della contemporanea tesi culturale del cosmopolitismo incompleto e della logica del lifelong learning. In questo orizzonte, da un lato si indicano le ragioni per le quali l'autointerpretazione costruttivista che Donald Schön ha dato alle sue idee possa aver contribuito al loro fraintendimento e appropriazione lungo una traiettoria strumentalistica, operazionalizzata e intellettualista; dall'altro, si rivendica l'intreccio creativo di dimensioni sperimentali ed esistenziali che è presente nel congegno concettuale di Schön. Proprio per rafforzare tale legame di dimensioni e per scongiurare adulterazioni della nozione del professionista riflessivo in senso strumentalista e orientato alla learnification, si invoca la tradizione degli esercizi spirituali su sé stessi, teorizzata da Foucault, come possibile alleato per pensare la riflessività (anche) in termini di soggettivazione e senza cedimenti alle indesiderate derive del discorso dell'apprendimento.

Published: October 2023

Questo lavoro presenta l'uso del Quaderno per riflettere sul Senso della Vita nei CPIA 2 e 3 (Centri Provinciali per l'Educazione degli Adulti) di Roma. L'esperienza è stata effettuata nell'ambito del Progetto FARO (FAre Reti e Orientare), cofinanziato dall'UE e dal Ministero dell'Interno. Obiettivo del progetto è la costruzione di una rete integrata per rispondere ai bisogni formativi e lavorativi dei cittadini di Paesi Terzi residenti in alcuni territori italiani. Attraverso l'applicazione di strumenti e metodologie educative, è stato progettato e applicato un modello orientativo nel quale si realizzasse una connessione tra conoscenze, abilità e competenze metacognitive. Il Quaderno per riflettere sul Senso della Vita (QSV) si inserisce in questo quadro e pone il tema della riflessione come elemento chiave per aiutare i giovani migranti a sviluppare la consapevolezza di essere protagonisti del proprio percorso formativo e professionale. Il QSV è compilato su file word ed è pubblicato online in una presentazione Google. Si compone di sei pagine, ognuna delle quali contiene esercizi specifici per riflettere sui valori e sul senso della vita. Nella esperienza sono stati coinvolti 50 giovani studenti con background migratorio che hanno frequentato i corsi CPIA. L'analisi quantitativa, relativa alla rilevazione dei dati sulla compilazione del Quaderno, ha mostrato che la maggior parte dei ragazzi ha partecipato con interesse alle attività. Per mostrare le caratteristiche specifiche dei lavori eseguiti, come esempio, viene riportato il riassunto del lavoro svolto da Bah, una giovane donna del Congo emigrata in Italia un anno fa; il QSV compilato da Bah è disponibile anche al link https://express.adobe.com/page/10r73yENfRHP0/.
Catturare esperienze, sviluppare riflessione: la vignetta ad orientamento fenomenologico come pratica riflessiva
Authors: Zadra Cinzia , Mian Stephanie
Published: October 2023

Questo contributo presenta uno strumento di ricerca che può essere implementato come risorsa formativa e professionalizzante e che, allo stesso tempo, rappresenta un nuovo strumento per la promozione di pratiche riflessive nei contesti delle scienze sociali e della formazione. Il dispositivo nasce da un approccio pedagogico fenomenologico e i fondamenti teorici su cui si fonda permettono di portare alla luce il ruolo centrale della riflessione nell'impegno con il mondo e contribuire allo sviluppo di un ethos pedagogico sempre aperto alle reti di significato che i professionisti della formazione e del sociale distinguono nell'esperienza. Dopo una breve introduzione in cui si accenna alle sfide poste a studenti e studentesse negli ambiti sociali, vengono presentati diversi costrutti di riflessione, per poi recuperare il valore originario della riflessione alla luce della cornice epistemologica della fenomenologia. Viene quindi presentato lo strumento di ricerca e di formazione ad orientamento fenomenologico, la vignetta, e la sua potenzialità come mezzo per confrontarsi con l'alterità. Ne viene illustrato il valore aggiunto come strumento di pratica riflessiva e il significato nel contesto delle scienze della formazione. L'articolo si concentra quindi sulle cornici teoriche e sui processi di scrittura e analisi della vignetta come pratica riflessiva e sul suo utilizzo come esercizio percettivo e riflessivo nelle comunità di apprendimento e nei processi di professionalizzazione.
Il valore della riflessività nel lavoro educativo, a partire dall'intreccio fra gesti e saperi professionali
Authors: Tabacchi Alessia
Published: October 2023

Il lavoro educativo è una pratica profondamente relazionale che, per sua natura, si dispiega nel quotidiano, assumendo la complessità che contraddistingue la società contemporanea come orizzonte di riferimento. Questo implica l'esigenza di rifuggire da tecniche o metodi standardizzati, per individuare, nella realtà nella quale ci si trova ad operare, la via per accompagnare i soggetti coinvolti ad un cammino di perfezionamento e progettazione esistenziale. Si ritiene che per gli educatori sia, pertanto, fondamentale avviare una costante riflessività nel corso della pratica e sulla pratica, vagliando i propri saperi, i propri gesti, la postura assunta e la propria modalità comunicativa e relazionale. Gli studi pedagogici si sono soffermati, in modo particolare, sui saperi, sul linguaggio e la parola, mentre resta sullo sfondo la corporeità che ad essi si accompagna. Il contributo intende muovere da una analisi della comunicazione non verbale, con particolare riferimento alla gestualità e al valore dei gesti nel campo professionale. In ambito educativo, la riflessività sui gesti può portare ad un guadagno conoscitivo su più fronti, indagando l'intenzionalità sottesa all'agire professionale. La meta diviene, sul piano teoretico, la delineazione di pratiche formative per un apprendimento riflessivo nel lavoro educativo.
Great Resignation o Great Reshuffle? Un primo commento a Ciucciovino-Caravaggio
Authors: Reyneri Emilio
Published: October 2023

Il commento si concentra su quattro questioni. In primo luogo, si afferma che il comportamen-to delle persone nel mercato del lavoro può essere spiegato sia da un punto di vista culturale-psicologico, sia da un punto di vista socioeconomico. In secondo luogo, si sottolinea il fatto che troppe donne lasciano per sempre il lavoro quando hanno un figlio. In terzo luogo, si mo-stra che in Italia il numero di dimissioni potrebbe essere sovrastimato, in quanto alcuni lavora-tori passano da un'azienda a un'altra che sono diverse solo dal punto di vista giuridico. In quarto luogo, si auspica che una nuova collaborazione tra diritto del lavoro e socioeconomia possa affrontare problemi importanti come quelli del part-time involontario e dei lavori a tem-po determinato.
Il giustificato motivo oggettivo dopo le sentenze della Corte costituzionale
Authors: Nuzzo Valeria
Published: October 2023

L'Autrice si interroga sulle conseguenze sanzionatorie del licenziamento illegittimo per gmo dopo il duplice intervento della Corte costituzionale, che ha comportato un ampliamento dell'area della tutela reintegratoria a scapito di quella meramente indennitaria, ma anche una reazione da parte della dottrina tesa a restringere i ritrovati spazi della sanzione forte. In parti-colare, esamina il possibile attacco al repêchage quale elemento da espungere dalla nozione di "fatto" la cui insussistenza consente l'applicazione del meccanismo reintegratorio previsto dal comma 7 dell'art. 18 St.lav., affermando invece come esso provi il carattere effettivo e non pretestuoso della soppressione del posto di lavoro e sia, dunque, strettamente collegato alla ragione giustificativa e alle fattispecie stessa di gmo. Il saggio esamina, infine, i possibili effetti del ragionamento condotto dalla Corte circa l'irrazionalità del sistema sanzionatorio dell'art. 18 St.lav. sulla disciplina del contratto a tutele crescenti, che solo nell'area del gmo non collega alla totale insussistenza del fatto posto a base del licenziamento la sanzione reintegratoria, in un contesto normativo ove la giustificatezza del licenziamento si profila come elemento indefettibi-le del principio fondamentale di tutela della persona che lavora.

Il presente contributo prende spunto dall'articolo bersaglio di Santo Di Nuovo sulla forma-zione degli operatori psicologi impegnati nel campo della tutela ai minori, soprattutto alla luce della riforma "abilitante" delle Lauree Triennali e Magistrali in Psicologia. I riflessi del-la riforma suscitano diverse considerazioni riguardanti sia la struttura dell'offerta formativa sia le modalità di gestione delle attività pratico-valutative previste dalla revisione dei piani di studio. Ci si soffermerà dunque soprattutto sulla formazione di secondo livello, quella mag-giormente interessata dal dispositivo della riforma, articolando le considerazioni sia sugli insegnamenti e i temi che possono essere ritenuti nodali per un/a professionista psicologo/a che si occuperà di protezione dell'infanzia e dell'adolescenza, sia su alcune proposte perché le linee guida dell'organizzazione del Tirocinio Pratico Valutativo possano essere declinate – entro i gradi di libertà determinati dalla normativa – in modo da rappresentare una reale opportunità di primo ingaggio operativo "sul campo" da parte dei laureandi magistrali.
Minorenni traviati, irregolari, sfuggenti: la freccia dei tempi e le incognite del presente nei procedimenti amministrativi
Authors: Rudelli Alessandro
Published: October 2023

I sistemi sociali sono caratterizzati dalle connotazioni del rapporto che il mondo adulto istituisce con i comportamenti oppositivi e con le espressioni di problematicità manifestate dalle giovani generazioni. Tale rapporto è fortemente condizionato dalle terminologie che vengono adottate per indicare la necessità d'intervenire con strumenti giuridici, quali quelli previsti dall'art. 25 r.d.l. n. 1404/1934, nei confronti di quei minorenni non conformi che segnalano con le proprie condotte una condizione soggettiva di marcata criticità. A fronte della sostanziale invarianza nella trat¬tazione dei procedimenti amministrativi a seguito della riforma "Cartabia", rimasta di competenza collegiale alla sede distrettuale, l'articolo propone una disamina dei significati sociali e pedagogici associati alle definizioni normative, aprendosi a interrogativi sul futuro a fronte delle inquietudini che stanno procurando le nuove manifestazioni del malessere adolescenziale.
Musica trap, reati minorili e messa alla prova
Authors: Trezzi Micol , Bertin Federica , Lecce Silvestro , Maggiolini Alfio
Published: October 2023

La musica trap ha spesso testi con contenuti trasgressivi, droghe, criminalità, deside¬rio di essere ricchi e famosi, e misoginia. Molti cantanti che approdano al successo grazie all'enorme numero di visualizzazioni ottenute online sono giovani autori di reato e le loro canzoni riscuotono un grande successo anche tra ragazzi totalmente estranei al mondo della criminalità. Gli psicologi nei servizi della giustizia minorile incontrano e accompagnano durante il procedimento penale i ragazzi che produco¬no questa musica. L'obiettivo primario del procedimento penale è guidare i ragazzi verso una responsabilizzazione e favorire una ripresa evolutiva sintonica rispetto ai bisogni di crescita. Ascoltare storie messe in rima con cui i ragazzi tentano di parla¬re di sé aiuta gli operatori a tentare una comprensione che ampli la prospettiva degli adolescenti.
Considerazioni sull'articolo di Giuseppe Civitarese "Sul concetto di intersoggettività in psicoanalisi"
Authors: Ferro Filippo Maria , Riefolo Giuseppe
Published: October 2023

In dialogo con il testo proposto da Civitarese (2023), si colgono alcuni punti di riflessione. L'intersoggettività sposta il vertice dell'interesse psicoanalitico dal soggetto all'"intersoggetto". L'interesse psicoanalitico, quindi, da studio dei fenomeni si orienta verso un processo continuamente instabile e fluido. Tale processo individua campi e non più tòpoi in cui organiz- zarsi. La riflessione proposta vuole rilanciare le aperture proposte da Civitarese, e si orienta so- prattutto a sottolineare i tre livelli di intersoggettività proposti dalla infant research, preliminari alle posizioni più radicali del gruppo di Stolorow, e poi di Jessica Benjamin fino a quelle di Ogden. L'intersoggettività individua necessariamente un terzo tipo di inconscio, non solo dina- mico e preriflessivo, ma soprattutto non validato. Infine, gli enactment, emancipando l'azione dagli acting-out, assumono una funzione di evoluzione creativa del processo terapeutico.
Festivals as instruments of cultural welfare: A theoretical reflection
Authors: Alonzo Giulia , Rossetti Giulia
Published: October 2023

Cultural welfare is an instrument of social cohesion which, using cultural forms, fights inequalities and focuses on health promotion. It is a model for developing individual and community well-being and enhancing bottom-up practices. Festivals generate socio-cultural impacts on the territory and on citizens, acting as moments of inclusion and participation, and offering spaces for innovation. Festivals can therefore be tools for creating cultural welfare, triggering processes of social innovation in communities, breaking down some social barriers, improving people's well-being, and enlivening spaces not usually used for cultural activities. This theoretical work does not want to be a systematic review of the existing literature, but a starting point for the analysis of festivals as instruments of cultural welfare.

Teatro Sociale e bullismo: costruire il benessere con i/le pre-adolescenti
Authors: Genova Angela , Minoia Vito , Quadrelli Isabella
Published: October 2023

Il contributo presenta i risultati di una ricerca-azione realizzata con metodologia e tecniche partecipative che ha coinvolto gli studenti di una scuola secondaria di primo grado delle Marche in un percorso di prevenzione del bullismo. L'ipotesi metodologica che ha guidato questo lavoro è che l'arte attraverso il teatro sociale possa essere uno strumento di co-costruzione di nuovi significati e nuove azioni per il contrasto alle prevaricazioni e al bullismo. Gli studenti di una classe hanno partecipato al laboratorio teatrale mettendo in scena una situazione problematica. Gli studenti di un'altra classe hanno preso parte al forum finale contribuendo con la loro partecipazione attiva a trovare soluzioni. Il gioco del teatro-forum si è rivelato uno strumento efficace per le sue capacità di ascolto e di apertura verso l'altro. La "diversità" nel contesto del laboratorio è diventata un'occasione di esplorazione, secondo la lezione di Freire. Attraverso un processo di ricostruzione partecipata e di riflessione condivisa delle pratiche di bullismo è stato quindi attivato un processo di comprensione e di cambiamento nella logica di una sociologia che vuole essere pubblica.
The 99 AI Challenge: Empowering a University Community through an Open Learning Pilot
Authors: Toane Carey , Doucette Lise , Rousseau Paulina , Serafin Michael , Spence Michelle , Kim Chris
Published: October 2023

While AI has entered the mainstream discourse in the past decade, teaching and research focusing on artificial intelligence are not new to the University of Toronto (U of T). As the home of the Vector Institute for Artificial Intelligence and the “godfather of deep learning,” Geoffrey Hinton, U of T, and the city of Toronto have a rich history in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and have become a hub for AI research.1  However, many faculty, staff, and students are still in the dark about what AI is, how it works, and what implications it might have on their lives. While many departments at U of T offer AI courses and events, they are often aimed at those already engaged in this area of research or study who have a technical understanding of AI. 
Persuasion, Authority, and the (Common Law) Foundations of Transnational Legal Decision-Making
Authors: Hudson Graham
Published: October 2023

This paper outlines a model of argumentation that formulates the processes by which international and comparative human rights law influence the reasoning of domestic judges. I argue that the persuasive influence of such law flows from, and is justifiable by reference to, a distinctive mode of rational argumentation centred around precedent and analogy. If sound, this model helps explain how persuasive influence may be distinguished from political or ideological power (i.e. authority) and how decisions to use such law are constrained by formal and informal institutions of interpretation i.e. are justifiable in jurisprudential terms.
Ordinary Injustices: Persecution, Punishment, and the Criminalization of Asylum in Canada
Authors: Hudson Graham
Published: October 2023

[Introduction]: "In 2009 and 2010, approximately six hundred Sri Lankan Tamils arrived off the western coast of Canada aboard the MVs Ocean Lady and Sun Sea. Without permission to enter Canadian territory, the ships were interdicted and boarded by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who detained the passengers and later transferred them into the custody of the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA). Although the passengers were seeking asylum, the government characterized the arrivals as a serious security issue, stating that at least one-third of the passengers aboard the Sun Sea were “suspected human smugglers and terrorists” working to reconstitute the LTTE’s “base of operations overseas in order to renew resistance to the Government of Sri Lanka.” These statements reflect the Canadian government’s long-standing attempt to associate irregular migration with insecurity and criminality.”
City of hope, city of fear: Sanctuary and security in Toronto, Canada
Authors: Hudson Graham
Published: October 2023

The sanctuary city movement is a transnational human rights-based response to non-status migrants living and working in global cities. In many ways it is an oppositional mode of politics that challenges the exclusive authority of central governments over migration and political membership. Borrowing from critical legal geography, academics speak of the city as a ‘scale’ of urban belonging that can supersede national or international scales. However, clusters of practices, networks, and rationalities of governance are not necessarily confined to one scale. Urban securitisation is an apt example, where national governments cast off constraints of ‘high law’, shifting mechanisms of border control to regional and local scales. Research in Canada, the United States, and elsewhere demonstrates that local police, state authorities and, indeed, non-state actors, participate in the management of the (perceived) risks that non-status migrants pose to state and citizen. In this context, this chapter examines the uneasy relationship between sanctuary and security in Toronto, Canada. It does so by reflecting on the utility of the concepts of jurisdiction and temporality in better understanding how the securitisation of irregular migration has taken hold in the city. Placing this process in historical and jurisdictional context, it explores possible antidotes to urban securitisation.
