Visualizing and exploring nonlinear behavior, timescales, and mechanical signatures of human blood
Authors: Armstrong Matthew , Milner Erin , Nguyen Chi , Corrigan Trevor , Lee Yu-Fan
Published: April 2021

BACKGROUND: Human blood is a thixo-elasto-visco-plastic (TEVP) material that exhibits unique fluctuations in mechanical properties based on physiology, and shear rate. We demonstrate new visual tools to help visualize and characterize these varied mechanical properties. OBJECTIVE: Our objective is to demonstrate contemporary visual and numerical tools to help visualize and characterize the varied mechanical properties of human blood. METHODS: Using the ARESG2 strain-controlled rheometer with double wall couette geometry and eight human blood donors, with lab test results, elastic and viscous properties are investigated using Series of Physical Processes (SPP) and MITLaos to both analyze and visualize the mechanical signatures of the blood. RESULTS: Variations of mechanical properties are shown via SPP generated Cole-Cole plots and MITLaos analysis. These variations are a function of physiological properties of blood on the day of the blood draw based on hematocrit, fibrinogen, cholesterol, triglycerides, and a host of other proteins and constituents. Each rheological experiment with blood is replicated with an analogous experiments with 0.04 wt% xanthan in glycerol, and water to demonstrate that the mechanical properties of the human blood, and its rheological signatures are unique to human blood. CONCLUSIONS: Human blood is proven to be a TEVP material, as shown on a series of Cole-Cole plots for eight different donors, at two different frequency and strain amplitude combinations. Variations in Cole-Cole plots for each donor are shown. MITLaos average mechanical properties are calculated and shown. Aggregated elastic and viscous projections and a Cole-Cole plot is shown for Donors 1–8, along with 95% confidence interval.
A UN Specialized Agency for the Environment
Authors: Mahmoudi Said
Published: April 2021

The issue, international organization for the protection of the environment perhaps more than those in any other area of international law, is characterized by the contestation of the policies and aspirations of developing and industrialized countries. The discussions which preceded the 1972 Stockholm Conference concerned partly the type of international institutional arrangement required for addressing the environmental problems. As regards the institutional reforms with respect to international environmental governance (IEG), the main question is whether to focus on the existing global institution, i.e. UNEP, or to create a new functional international organization. After almost five decades of existence, turning UNEP into a ‘specialized agency’ within the UN system is a reasonable move. It would meet the long-felt need to elevate its status and equip it with the necessary competence and financial stability for the demanding task it should have as an efficient global environmental organization.
ICTs as the New Environmental Sentinels1
Authors: Desai Bharat H.
Published: April 2021

This article seeks to place under scanner the role of international courts and tribunals (ICTs) as important agents for the peaceful settlement of international disputes through the instrumentality of law. The rapid upswing in the number of specialized international courts and tribunals (in areas such as trade, human rights, law of the sea, criminal justice and environment) can be perceived as an attempt by the sovereign states to maintain viability of the ICTs in light of perplexity in international relations, growing recognition of peaceful co-existence, quest for institutionalized cooperation and emergence of some of the ‘Common Concerns of Humankind’ and the ‘Duty to Cooperate’. It has sought to make sense of emergence of ICTs as the ‘New Environmental Sentinels’. Do we need a specialized International Environmental Court (IEC) as an ‘ideal’? What does it portend for our common future?
An automated lung cancer detection system based on machine learning algorithm
Authors: Lalitha S.
Published: April 2021

Cancer has been one of the most serious health challenges to the human kind for a long period of time. Lung cancer is the most prevalent type of cancer which shows higher death rates. However, lung cancer mortality rates can be tracked by periodic screening. With the advanced medical science, the society has reaped numerous benefits with respect to screening equipments. Computed Tomography (CT) is one of the popular imaging techniques and this work utilizes the CT images for lung cancer detection. An early detection of lung cancer could prolong the lifetime of the patient and is made effortless by the latest screening technology. Additionally, the accuracy of disease detection can be enhanced with the help of the automated systems, which could support the healthcare experts in effective diagnosis. This article presents an automated lung cancer detection system equipped with machine learning algorithm, which can differentiate between the benign, malignant and normal classes of lung cancer. The accuracy of the proposed lung cancer detection method is around 98.7%, which is superior to the compared approaches.

The article examines the evolution of the role of architect – artist, his properties, based on the study of architectural, artistic, monumental features, both historical stages and modernity on the examples of architectural objects, design synthesis of arts – sculpture, painting, monumental and decorative art. The expediency of generalizing the nature of different attitudes to the architect as a specialist – an architect-artist in order to popularize the profession is substantiated. The article substantiates the study of the role of the architect in the historical development of architecture, the peculiarities of the perception of the architect as the main in the formation of the architectural environment, socio-political, historical events of society to promote it and approve the architect as the main builder, making the name of the architect of the object in history. The expediency of the attitude to the architect as to the specialist – the architect-artist, for the purpose of popularization of a profession is proved. The article examines the historical stages and styles in architecture, from ancient times the formation of human environment for existence and ending with the present. Theoretical methods, generalization of information are used in the work when considering scientific research related to the historical periods of architecture of the world and Ukraine. It is important to deepen the understanding of the culture of the profession. The generalization of research results provides material for understanding the role of the architect's profession as the main one in the implementation of the postulate "expediency, benefit, beauty", as well as in the implementation of theoretical research in the educational process of architects and designers and is a continuation of previous research.
INFORMATION MODEL OF THE STANDARDIZATION OBJECT AS THE BASIS OF DETERMINATION OF NORMATIVE REQUIREMENTS WITH APPLICATION OF PARAMETRIC STANDARDIZATION METHOD
Authors: Omelianenko Maksym , Omelianenko Maryna
Published: April 2021

The article explains the viability of designing an information model of the standardization object (facilities or territory, their parts) as a foundation for setting statutory requirements using a parametric standardization method.

To establish a contemporary normative base of the construction industry, one should comprehensively review methodological approaches to the definition of normative requirements for standardization objects. Normative assurance should be mobile and should promptly respond to changes in consumer needs regarding the forming environment and its elements. Therefore, development of a new concept of normative requirements is one of the crucial objectives in construction industry standard setting.

The efficiency of normative assurance affects industry performance, the level of consumer satisfaction with the forming living conditions and human activities.

An important step in creating the new concept is to develop the efficient information model of the standardization object, which will lie at the root of developing new up-to-date normative requirements. This information model should be based on consumer needs. It is worth mentioning that such an information model is a dynamic system because of constantly changing consumer demands and integration of new technologies and materials in construction operations.

The plant environment in the production of Achachairu (Garcinia humilis) seedlings aims to obtain quality plants for orchards' formation. The present study aimed to evaluate reflective materials on benches and fruit seeds harvested from different plant positions to produce Achachairu seedlings. The reflective materials used under the cultivation benches were aluminum foil, "fake sequin" fabric, mirror, and tetra pak®. The fruit collection positions in the plants were at the top, median and bottom. The largest seedlings were obtained on the bench with reflective material of Tetra Pak®; however, in this material, there was a greater relationship between the height and diameter of the seedlings' neck, which is not desired for quality seedlings. The largest number of sheets was observed on the benches with reflective material of Tetra Pak® and "false sequin" fabric. The lowest dry masses of the root system and the lowest Dickson quality indexes were obtained from seedlings grown on the bench with reflective mirror material, forming lesser quality seedlings. The fruit collection place in the matrix plant did not influence the seedlings' quality. The use of reflective material on the bench is not recommended for the cultivation of Achachairu seedlings.
The fat and lipase content of the blood following fat feeding and during increased muscular work
Authors:   , Robnett Dudley Anderson
Published: April 2021

Summary: 1. The fat content of the blood inoreases after a meal rich in cotton seed oil fat. 2. Cotton seed oil fat is more slowly digested than cream fat. 3. The lipase content of the blood increases after a meal of cotton seed oil fat. 4. The fat and lipase content of the blood show marked variations from the normal during musoular work and in the period of rest following work. 5. The changes in the fat and lipase occur so correlated in the various animals that they justify the conclusion that lipase is part of the mechanism controlling the distribution and utilization of fat during increased metabolism due to muscular work. 6. The variations in both fat and lipase are smaller and occur at later stages of exercise in old animals. 7. The variations in the fat content are affected by the nutritional condition of the animal and the degree of exercise. 8. The lecithin variations in the blood are parallel to the blood fat variations during work. 9. The cholesterol in the blood shows marked percentage changes during work.

The energy requirements for the normal growth of dairy heifers
Authors:   , Dice James R. (James Renfrew)
Published: April 2021

Text from introduction: "There are at least two reasons why more definite knowledge of the energy requirements of growing cattle are desirable. First, the energy requirement of the animal is known to be high and because of the increased cost of feeds with high energy value there is a greater economic demand to know the actual energy requirement of a young animal. Second, if an intelligent study is to be made of the requirement of a growing animal for any other constituent of the ration, it is quite essential that the energy requirement be known."
A simple presentation of Fourier's Series

Published: April 2021

Text from page 1-2: "It is the chief purpose of this paper to give a relatively simple proof for the possibility of representing a large class of functions by meansof convergent sine or cosine series, - generally classed as Fourier's Series. This seems desirable because of the growing importance of trigonometric series in their application to applied mathematics,along with their historical value in the development of the theory of functions and mathematicalanalysis. Even those who are not specially interested in advanced thematics may find an elementary treatment of the subject of some value in giving them some knowledge of the subject at a first reading."
Housing conditions in St. Louis
Authors:   , Miller Edwin Burch
Published: April 2021

"Citizens of the City of St. Louie have joined with Mr. Lawrence Veillier, Deputy Commissioner of the New York Tenement House Commission, in the belief that St. Louis has no tenement problem. Regarding a housing problem the latter has remained silent, the former silently ignorant. To show that St. Louis has a very serious housing problem and a menacing tenement problem is the object of this investigation and report. The present report is founded upon a thorough house to house investigation and based upon its findings, if from no other desire than that of self-preservation. Yet there should be a higher motive for demand - a motive which gives the working class a right to live decently. In determining the area to be investigated the Housing Committee of the Civic League sought for a representative section where St. Louis working peoples were contending with old housing evils and threatened with new ones. As a means of simplification and more graphic presentation, the single large area has been dealt with in this report under the following divisions; (l) the Jewish district; (2) the Negro district; (3) the Mixed district; (4) the Italian district; and (6) the Polish district. Nor is this division one of nationality alone, but rather is it one of physical differences which adhere closely to such a division of peoples."--Pages 1-4.
The reaction of metallic hydroxides on secondary butyl bromide
Authors:   , Johler Walter William
Published: April 2021

The alkyl halides are among the most important of the synthetic reagents of organic chemistry, due to the ease with which they enter into chemical reaction with many other substances. The chemical properties of this group of compounds have therefore been extensively studied. Most of this work has been qualitative in nature, though in recent years considerable attention has been given to quantitative measurements of their reactivity. Conant, Kirner, and Hussey[superscript 1] studied a variety of halogen compounds, measuring the rates of replacement of certain halogens by iodine, using potassium iodide or sodium iodid in acetone solution. Toward this reagent, the primary halide proved to be the most reactive, and the tertiary the least reactive. This particular reaction was selected because it gave the same type of prodcut with a large variety of halogen compounds and was realtively free from side reactions. Slator[superscript 2] measured the rate of reaction between organic halides and sodium thiosulphate in water and in mixtures of alcohol and water and obtained results which compared favorably with those of Conant.

Published: April 2021

Text from page 3: "Introduction: The following study was undertaken at the suggestion of Dr.G .S .Dodds, ,with the intent of discovering the factors which determine the distribution of a group of our local fauna, the land gastropods. This group has been a favorite object of study with naturalists for the past century, and a great mass of literature exists on isolated collections made the country over. In Missouri a certain amount of collecting has been done, probably exhausting largely the possibilities so far as species are concerned. However, some interesting additions to our knowle[d]ge of the regional distribution have been ad1ed in the course of the present study, as will be noted later. Greger (1905) has made extensive collections in Callaway County, Pilsbfy and Ferris (1S06) in the Ozark Region, and Sampson (1913) over most of the State. There are besides, more general collections, as those of Binney (1885), in which mention is made of Missouri shells. Heretofore no attempt has been made to correlate the information scattered. Thru these papers, or to study the distribution from an ecological standpoint, and there has not been an intensive study of a single region in Missouri."
Place names of six south central counties of Missouri

Counties: Osage, Gasconade, Miller, Maries, Phelps, and Pulaski||"The six counties covered in this study, Osage, Gasconade, Miller, Maries, Phelps, and Pulaski, lie south of the Missouri River and east of Jefferson City. They are drained and joined by the great Osage River and its tributaries and the beautiful Gasconade River and its chief tributary, the Big Piney. For scenic beauty I have seen nothing to compare with these foothills of the Ozarks, especially in Phelps and Pulaski Counties. All of these counties are rocky and hilly, with fertile land to be found usually in the river valleys, "creek bottoms", and a few small prairies. Gasconade County, the oldest of this group, was formed in 1820 while Missouri was still a territory. It is a long, narrow county, though at one time it was known as the "State of Gasconade" because it included nearly all of the territory southwest of St. Louis..."--Pages 3-4.

Holts Summit (Devonian) conodonts from Missouri
Authors:   , Zalusky Donald W.
Published: April 2021

The conodonts of a previously unrecognized Upper Devonian formation, the Holts Summit, are unusually abundant and include unique forms which have not been elsewhere reported from strata of North America. An assemblage from Germany as described by Sannemann is closely allied to the fauna of the Holts Summit. The Devonian fauna and the stratigraphic relationships exclude the Holts Summit from the Bushberg and "Basal Mississippian" of previous authors. Lack of recognition in the past of the Holts Summit as a unit has led to the inclusion of its fauna in other faunal lists preventing correlation with these units in this report on the basis of the fauna. The highly plastic state of development of the fauna is discussed and three new genera are recognized. A partial faunal list is submitted which will enable recognition of the Holts Summit fauna and permit correlation with this unit.

Before Tohaikovsky wrote his Fifth symphony and the year Wordsworth died, preachers with guns and an old hand press were publishing a newspaper on the Texas frontier. The preachers were Methodists and they called their paper The Texas Wesleyan Banner. Later, the name was changed to The Texas Christian Advocate and still later it became The Southwestern Advooate. But the auspices. the purposes. the characteristics and the methods of the publication remained the same for almost a century. Purpose of the Study. To reconstruct the history of this journal which for so long was an active force in the religious growth. and to a lesser extent. the secular development of Texas is the purpose of this study. Such a study must emphasize the primarily journalistic aspects of the subject. But since it is a study of a publication whose nature was greatly determined by the political and sociological conditions of its time, it cannot ignore these. And since it is a study of a religious publication v.hose significance hinges largely upon the influence it exerted among its readers. it cannot escape it cannot escape evaluation of this influence and reaction if it is to be fully accurate and meaningful...--Page [1].
British outlook on America, 1800-1850
Authors:   , Steel Ruth Marjorie
Published: April 2021

The British Outlook on America offers an interesting field for study and one in which there is a vast amount of material both in books and periodicals. This subject has been treated in such works as The English Traveller in America 1785-1835 (1922) by Jane Louise Mesiok and American Social History as Recorded by British Travellers (1934) by Allan Nevins. In this study, however, the material for most of the observations and conclusions is taken from the leading English periodicals, while the two books mentioned are based more upon the books of travel. The period of 1800 to 1850 was selected for several reasons. This first half of the nineteenth century brought out many antagonistic writings by the English and sharp retorts from the Americans. Also, the great party periodicals originated during the first decades of this century. These magazines probably influenced the reading public and molded the opinions of the British more than the books of travel. The study has been ended in 1850 largely because after that date the slavery issue overshadowed all others, and the British tended to lose interest in other aspects of American life.--Preface.

Published: April 2021

El hipotiroidismo ha sido asociado con dislipidemia. Su tratamiento con levotiroxina ha mostrado un efecto positivo sobre el perfil lipídico en adultos, siendo poco descrito en población pediátrica.Objetivo: Evaluar el efecto de la normalización del perfil tiroideo sobre el perfil lipídico en niños con hipotiroidismo primario.Pacientes y Método: Estudio retrospectivo en niños de 6 a 16 años de edad, con diagnóstico de hipotiroidismo primario por tiroiditis de Hashimoto, en tratamiento con levotiroxina, y que contaron con evaluación de lípidos séricos antes y durante su tratamiento. Se evaluó el perfil lipídico en 2 tiempos: el primero, referido como “antes del tratamiento con levotiroxina” (al diagnóstico de hipotiroidismo primario) y el segundo, referido como “a la normalización del perfil tiroideo”. Se registraron datos sociodemográficos y antropométricos. La evaluación del perfil lipídico consistió en la determinación sérica de colesterol total (CT), colesterol de alta densidad (HDL-C) y TG. El fenotipo de las dislipidemias se caracterizó a través de la clasificación de Fredrickson.Resultados: Se incluyeron 72 pacientes (61% mujeres; edad de 11,5 ± 2,9 años), de los cuales 58,3% (n = 42) presentó dislipidemia pretratamiento. En estado hipotiroideo, se evidenció la correlación de TSH con CT (r = 0,36; p = 0,002), LDL-C (r = 0,46; p = 0,01) y HDL-C (r = -0,33; p = 0,004). A la normalización del perfil tiroideo se evidenció la reducción de CT [184 mg/dL (RIC 92-322) vs 147 mg/dL (RIC 92-283); p = 0,05], LDL-C [99 mg/dL (RIC 44-232) vs 82 mg/dL (RIC 41-168); p = 0,02], TG [113 mg/dL (RIC 50-483) vs 88 mg/dL (RIC 16-343); p = 0,03] y de la frecuencia de dislipidemia [58,3% vs 22,2%; p = 0,001), así como la corrección de CT con TG (r = 0,35; p = 0,02) y LDL-C (r = 0,88; p = 0,01).

Published: April 2021

Las fisuras labio palatinas (FLAP) son anomalías congénitas que afectan anatómica y funcionalmente la cara y boca, comprometiendo labio (FL), paladar (FP), o ambos (FL/FP).Objetivo: caracterizar el tratamiento de niños con FLAP en instituciones públicas en Argentina.Pacientes y Método: Estudio transversal en muestra aleatoria de 100 niños de la Red Flap. Se incluyeron niños con FL, FP y FL/FP aisladas, de ambos sexos, con peso nacimiento de 2500 gramos o más y edad gestacional mayor a 36 semanas. Se reportó fecha de nacimiento, hospital de nacimiento, peso nacimiento, edad gestacional, sexo, diagnóstico específico de la fisura, y datos de la cirugía inicial. Se realizó una encuesta telefónica a los progenitores de los niños. Para caracterizar el tratamiento se construyeron tres indicadores: interdisciplina, oportunidad e integralidad, que se compusieron de diferentes variables y según la suma del puntaje atribuido a cada una, se categorizó en: alto, medio o bajo según las pautas de tratamiento que usa el Programa Sumar.Resultados: Iniciaron tratamiento precoz el 30%. El 58% se operó oportunamente e hicieron seguimiento con las especialidades básicas el 29% de los niños. El alto nivel educativo materno se asoció con mayor probabilidad de tener tratamiento interdisciplinario (OR2,9; IC95% 1,3-6,8), integral (OR3,7; IC95% 1,6-8,7) y oportuno (OR2,9; IC95% 1,3-6,7).Conclusiones: Existen barreras para acceder a la atención, como las grandes distancias o la gestión de los turnos. La menor vulnerabilidad social de las familias se asoció con mayor probabilidad de recibir un tratamiento cercano a los estándares.

La atención neonatal ha experimentado importantes avances que involucran tecnología para el tratamiento y monitorización, diseño de los espacios de atención, incorporación de profesionales de apoyo y especialmente el fortalecimiento de un modelo de organización en redes con centros de distintos niveles de complejidad. Las unidades neonatales deben ubicarse en instituciones con servicios de maternidad e idealmente con servicios de pediatría de complejidad equivalentes. Este documento define criterios de admisión según el nivel de complejidad y criterios de traslado entre los diferentes niveles. La evidencia recomienda un diseño de pieza individual por los beneficios asociados: disminución de ocurrencia y mejor control de infecciones asociadas a la atención de salud, favorecer la lactancia y la interacción con los padres. Los tamaños sugeridos favorecen la implementación del modelo de atención centrado en la familia. Estas recomendaciones establecen la posibilidad de realizar procedimientos quirúrgicos de urgencia en la unidad neonatal y los requerimientos de seguridad de la planta física. Se define la dotación de recursos humanos según nivel de complejidad reconociendo el tiempo dedicado a actividades no asistenciales, pero necesarias para la gestión. La atención neonatal debe ser liderada por el neonatólogo como subespecialista, permitiendo la participación de pediatras generales con formación y experiencia demostrada en la atención neonatal. Las matronas o enfermeras deben contar con capacitación certificada en neonatología. Además, se definen requerimientos de profesionales de apoyo tales como, nutricionistas, psicólogos, kinesiólogos, terapistas ocupacionales, fonoaudiólogos químico-farmacéuticos y asistentes sociales. El objetivo de este documento es actualizar las “Recomendaciones sobre Organización, Características y Funcionamiento de Servicios o Unidades de Neonatología” para que sirvan como orientación y guía para el diseño y la gestión neonatal de los centros de atención de salud pública y privada del país.
TRANSITION FROM LOCAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS TO INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS: A COMPARISON BETWEEN THE OHADA MEMBER COUNTRIES AND TURKEY
Authors: THIERNO DIALLO Amadou , ÇEVİK Zülküf
Published: April 2021

This study tries to get a clear grasp of the factors that might play positively or negatively in a country’s convergence or adoption of the international financial reporting standards (IFRS). Through a comparative analysis between Turkey and the OHADA countries and based on the existing literature, the transition process towards the IFRS and challenges faced by each one is discussed from a historical perspective to the level of development. As a result, it is understood that the adoption or convergence towards the IFRS can be a challenging and a long-term process requiring multiple adjustments. Also, countries may differ in terms of historical past, level of development, cultural and socio-economic aspects which can all influence their transition. In addition, given the lack of study on the new adoption of the IFRS in the OHADA countries, this paper will contribute to filling the gap in the literature on the transition process. Furthermore, it will help countries which are in their early stage of the transition process to avoid some missteps and learn from others experience to get better prepared for a successful shift towards a fully IFRS compatible accounting system as has done Turkey.
Rendita e metropolizzazione. Il caso di Roma
Authors: Pizzo Barbara
Published: April 2021

Il contributo approfondisce la questione della rendita urbana a Roma nel suo rapporto con la metropolizzazione. Si ragiona intorno ad una metropolizzazione debole e incerta e ad alcune peculiari modalità di formazione e estrazione della rendita che caratterizzano il contesto romano, evidenziando come la scala metropolitana, all'interno di una specifica costruzione discorsiva, a Roma abbia alimentato il meccanismo della rendita più di ogni altro esito possibile di un processo di rescaling.
La rendita attraverso l'edilizia residenziale pubblica: i quartieri INA-Casa come marker della rendita differenziale
Authors: Rusci Simone , Pozzobon Elisabetta
Published: April 2021

L'articolo propone una metodologia di comparazione dei valori della rendita urbana utiliz-zando come marker i quartieri di edilizia residenziale pubblica costruiti in Italia nell'ambito dei Piani INA-Casa. Il confronto tra i valori fa emergere due aspetti ritenuti significativi: la forte differenziazione delle condizioni economico-immobiliari che caratterizzano il paese e il riconoscimento dell'ineliminabilità della rendita, che manifesta nei casi studio effetti economici del tutto rilevanti.

Trasformazione urbana tra convenienze private ed interessi pubblici. Il waterfront di Genova
Authors: Lombardini Giampiero , Rosasco Paolo
Published: April 2021

Nei recenti processi di trasformazione urbana i margini di redditività per gli investitori si so-no ridotti e le decisioni di investimento devono trovare un equilibrio tra le istanze del sog-getto pubblico, che cerca di trarre il massimo vantaggio dalla trasformazione urbana in termini di servizi pubblici e il soggetto privato orientato alla massimizzazione dei profitti e alla riduzione del rischio. In questo senso, il caso del waterfront genovese costituisce un in-teressante caso di studio. .
Quale futuro per la rendita? Riflessioni e tendenze di ricerca
Authors: Pezzagno Michèle , Richiedei Anna
Published: April 2021

Il dibattito scientifico, culturale e politico sul consumo di suolo e sul recupero del patrimo-nio esistente è pervasivo. Si ravvisa la necessità di provare a spostare lo sguardo rispetto alla tradizionale definizione della rendita cercando di costruire, tramite un confronto tra i saperi scientifici, un diverso sistema di valori utili alla valutazione dei suoli e dei servizi ecosistemici, affrontando con nuova consapevolezza alcuni nodi storici del governo del territorio tra cui la rendita.
La spada e lo scudo. Prime note sulle nuove forme di intervento diretto dello Stato nell'economia con finalità di politica industriale
Authors: Benvenuti Marco
Published: April 2021

L'articolo affronta, in una prospettiva di diritto costituzionale, il tema delle nuove forme di intervento diretto dello Stato nell'economia con finalità di politica industriale. In una prima parte, si ritorna agli albori del processo di privatizzazione delle partecipazioni societarie dello Stato. Una seconda parte è dedicata all'analisi di un fondamentale strumento di intervento proiettivo dello Stato nell'attività economica pubblica, qual è la Cas-sa depositi e prestiti S.p.A. Una terza parte, infine, tratta uno strumento cruciale di intervento protettivo dello Stato nei confronti dell'attività economica pubblica e privata, dato dai poteri speciali, che tendono anche ad assumere, oggi, una spiccata finalità di politica industriale.
Chi ha paura dell'orco cattivo? Lo stigma nella percezione sociale e nel lavoro trattamentale con l'autore di reato sessuale
Authors: Xella Carla Maria , Mosiello Francesca
Published: April 2021

Chi compie reati contro i minori è visto dall'opinione pubblica come un mostro, un "orco", nel migliore dei casi un malato incurabile che non ha niente a che fare con le persone "normali". L'odio per l'orco ha conseguenze molto gravi: impedisce di prendere atto della diffusione degli abusi sessuali nei circoli della fiducia (famiglia, scuola, associazionismo, sport, ecc.) contribuendo al negazionismo dell'abuso; ostacola l'attivazione di interventi efficaci, favorisce il diniego e la minimizzazione o l'adesione passiva allo stigma nei trattamenti.
Il rapporto analitico con il paziente rabbioso
Authors: Rondanini Daniele
Published: April 2021

L'introiezione dell'immagine distorta di sé derivata dall'identificazione con il genitore abusante genera l'insediamento nel proprio sistema psichico di un sé alieno che può avere le caratteristiche di un sé sabotante, capace di attaccare e minare le realizzazioni e le relazioni sane, proprie e altrui, con pensieri, comportamenti e atteggiamenti distruttivi e autodistruttivi di natura narcisistica, grandiosa e rabbiosa. La stessa cura analitica è indotta ad affrontare l'ostilità del paziente nel setting. Per essere efficace, l'analista, oltre a intendere il non analizzato del paziente grazie al proprio controtransfert, persegue un costante impegno di autoanalisi per riconoscere ed elaborare i propri "resti non analizzati", che la relazione terapeutica lascia emergere, così da favorire lo sviluppo della cura e della relazione stessa.
Odio: cinque speculazioni e una provocazione
Authors: Barbetta Pietro
Published: April 2021

In questo saggio produrrò 5 variazioni sul tema dell'odio, in ognuna si sostiene che l'odio - a differenza dei sentimenti di rancore, rabbia, invidia, gelosia, rivalsa - non è un sentimento. L'odio è un gesto del tutto consapevole, è una scelta che può dipendere dalla reazione ai sentimenti elencati sopra, o ad altri, ma i sentimenti, che sono disposizioni all'azione, non determinano ancora la decisione, la deliberazione. L'odio invece è deliberazione. Questa distinzione si è sempre più offuscata, in ambito psicologico, da quando si confonde il "benessere", qualsiasi cosa sia, con la consapevolezza, riducendo la "guarigione" psichica alla consapevolezza. Ma la Shoah, i processi stalinisti e ogni forma di totalitarismo è, in primo luogo, progetto materiale, finalità cosciente e consapevolezza. In questo senso, se Freud disse «la consapevolezza non basta», Bateson aggiunse «la consapevolezza è dannosa».
Dio, odio e l'odio
Authors: Fabbri Francesco
Published: April 2021

L'odio è una costante che accompagna la vita dell'uomo. Si esprime in molte forme, ma nasce sempre dalla paura, dall'incertezza, dalla non conoscenza. Le cronache ci raccontano, dall'alba dei tempi, di grandi odii ed efferatezze - dall'Olocausto all'assalto a Capitol Hill - che sembrano nati in tempi brevi. Tutti invece sono stati nutriti di sensazionalismi pret-a-porter, che come il cibo dei fast-food sono facili da ingurgitare ma dannosi alla digestione.
L'odio: una coperta o un fiume?
Authors: Cervini Federica
Published: April 2021

A partire da una digressione sull'origine immaginale della parola odio, in particolare nella mitologia greca, l'autore riflette sull'odio come potenziale istanza separativa, come estrema ratio per combattere il diniego della separazione tra gli esseri che spesso opprime le famiglie in cui vige un'atmosfera indifferenziata e incestuale.
Il corpo nella storia di attaccamento. Commento al caso di Maria in un'ottica di terapia sensomotoria
Authors: Marin Francesca
Published: April 2021

Attraverso il commento del caso di Maria, si vuole offrire un diverso punto di vista per poter intervenire clinicamente, secondo i principi teorici della moderna teoria dell'attaccamento e le applicazioni della terapia sensomotoria. L'ipotesi che ci guida è che la depressione di Maria possa trovare fondamento nella relazione di attaccamento, che ha promosso una identità incarnata in schemi posturali ed emotivi disfunzionali ed ha negato l'espressione autentica della sua identità. Grazie alla terapia sensomotoria, il lavoro si incentra sul recupero di pattern somatici bloccati e sul tentativo di fornire una riparazione dell'esperienza di attaccamento mancante.
Competenza tecnica e attitudinipersonali nel lavoro dello psicoterapeuta cognitivista
Authors: Ruberti Saverio , Visini Raffaella
Published: April 2021

L'articolo approfondisce il rapporto fra gli aspetti tecnici della psicoterapia cognitiva e le dinamiche personali e affettive che intercorrono fra terapeuta e paziente. Gli autori evidenziano la crescente valorizzazione della relazione terapeutica nella psicoterapia cognitiva e mettono a fuoco i fattori di carattere emotivo nelle interazioni fra terapeuta e paziente, e il loro ruolo nella produzione del cambiamento. Questi elementi sono analizzati alla luce dei più recenti modelli di trattamento, noti come Terza Ondata della terapia cognitivocomportamentale.
L'uomo vaginale: lavorare con la corporeità di uomini queer al confine del transgender
Authors: Hansbury Griffin
Published: April 2021

Invece di esaminare i fenomeni espliciti dell'esperienza transgender, viene discusso il "confine del transgender" in persone non transgender, ed esplorato il rapporto tra gli uomini e "il Vaginale", inteso sia come reale che come fantasticato. Concepire il Vaginale come una controparte del Fallico permette di scollegare dal femminile in senso stretto gli stati vaginali psichici e corporei, così che, come il Fallico, diventano accessibili da persone di tutti i generi e sessi. Il concetto di Vaginale va al di là dell'esperienza reale e incarnata di molti uomini transgender che vivono in corpi "femminili" interi, parziali e/o temporanei, e può trovare applicazione anche alla realtà psico-fisica di numerosi uomini non transgender. Viene anche presentato il caso clinico di un paziente omosessuale che fa la fantasia che il proprio ano sia una vagina.
Interventi sull'articolo di Griffin Hansbury La propaganda di Tiresia
Authors: Benvenuto Sergio
Published: April 2021

La teoria del "Vaginale maschile" di Griffin Hansbury (2017) viene considerata come pleonastica nel contesto generale della teoria psicoanalitica; infatti per Freud il maschile e il femminile non sono caratteristiche fondamentali della sessualità umana, ma "costruzioni". Il caso clinico descritto da Hansbury viene discusso alla luce di una teoria generale del masochismo, rivisitando il concetto di masochismo femminile. Nelle conclusioni viene mostrato che l'intenzione libertaria dell'ideologia della queer theory finisce con l'accettare proprio la stessa logica del gender che cerca di criticare e superare.
Metafore e metapsicologia
Authors: Drescher Jack
Published: April 2021

Viene criticata la cornice teorica utilizzata da Griffin Hansbury (2017) nel trattamento del caso clinico da lui descritto. Nonostante la critica mossa al binarismo di genere, Hansbury di fatto amplia la teoria di Freud (1922, pp. 488-490) dell'«Io-corpo» introducendo un nuovo concetto binario, il «Vaginale con la V maiuscola» come «controparte simbolica del Fallico» [con la F maiuscola] (Hansbury, 2017 p. 20, p. 1010 ediz. orig.). Hansbury cerca di trascinare nel XXI secolo una teoria del XIX secolo radicata in presupposti antiquati riguardo alla identità di genere. Greenberg & Mitchell (1983, p. 61 trad. it.) chiamarono questo approccio teorico «strategia di accomodamento», per riferirsi ad autori che non mettono in discussione gli assunti di una determinata teoria ma la ampliano aggiungendo nuovi concetti. Viene discusso un esempio di strategia di accomodamento utilizzata nella riformulazione della teoria dell'omosessualità. A parte queste considerazioni, la capacità di Hansbury di accogliere le fantasie dei suoi pazienti su parti e funzioni sessuali del corpo crea uno spazio che permette di parlare anche di altri argomenti difficili. Facendo questo, mostra una mescolanza di tendenze sia conservatrici sia radicali nella teoria e nella clinica della psicoanalisi.
Pensare psicoanaliticamente, pensare meglio: riflessioni sul transgender
Authors: Saketopoulou Avgi
Published: April 2021

Viene sfatato il mito secondo cui il genere (gender) sarebbe un concetto non psicoanalitico imposto agli psicoanalisti da altre discipline (ad esempio dalla sociologia) e/o da attivisti, e sostenuto che vada sdrammatizzato il discorso sul transgender in modo che possiamo lavorare e pensare collettivamente sui gender complessi e sulle loro varie incarnazioni. Ciò implica che si riesca a identificare il motivo per cui la categoria della incarnazione transgender ha prodotto una tale crisi nel nostro campo - cercare cioè le fonti di questa crisi internamente piuttosto che esternamente. Questa crisi è sorta in parte perché il tema del trans ha confrontato gli analisti con i limiti delle teorie consolidate sul corpo, sulla categoria dell'azione e, in alcune scuole psicoanalitiche, sul duraturo primato della fantasia filogenetica. Gli psicoanalisti vengono esortati a impegnarsi in questa crisi in modo produttivo ripensando, cioè pensando meglio, il tema del transgender.
