Order and Chaos. Margins of “normality” between diagnosis and therapy: from the preliminary meeting to the plot of a speech to come
Creators: name: Nardi, Paolo
Publisher: name: University of Messina
Year: 2015

description: As human beings, we are driven by two eternal feelings in perpetual fight: the search for order and the fascination of chaos. Man live inside this fight: between body and language, substance and history, soul and its biological reflections.

Every moment we act, talk, think, or dream, mirrors an experience of the present related to a given order. As Jung wrote: “there is a cosmos in every chaos and a secret order in every disorder”. Thus, Man is an entity where the being and the becoming, the endless and the ended coexist.

It is exactly the present state of the psychic life that can be subjected to a given disorder. Then the different disturbs of the various psychic functions interact in an entangled way in shaping that psychic state identified by a structural disorganization of the experience, which is pathologic.

In the therapeutic process, our “fluctuating” attention will listen to the emotions experienced by the patient, as symbolic expressions of dreamlike elements. Such attention will be put both during the diagnostic inquiry including the administration of the Rorschach Test and in the other phases of the therapeutic path. Free associations will provide the basis of both a sound shape and a visual listening of elements hanging between order and chaos, asymmetry and symmetry, past and present, inner and outer world. This should help the “person” in her/his recovering the integrity of belonging to the self: to be “soul” (psyche) of “life” (bìos).

Keywords: Rorschach Test, psychodiagnosis and therapy, order and chaos, clinical psychology and psychoanalysis.

description: Sometimes we wonder to ourselves (and to those of you listening) whether some of the biggest “stories” in the world of digital media really are stories. Maybe it’s just us, but is it really news that Google is combining all of its user data into one big file? Or did Apple really revolutionize the textbook market? Dan, Amanda, and Mills asked these and other really, really big questions during the most recent podcast. Among those other questions were whether the growing boycott of Elsevier publications by scholars was really going to make a difference and why it should (or shouldn’t)? We also speculated on what it would be like to take an online course with 64,999 of your closest friends at a university called U-Da-City?
Thematic Apperception Test: an original proposal for interaction analysis

Publisher: name: University of Messina

description: The TAT as projective technique gives the opportunity to explore the inner world and the intra-psychic functioning, as well as the objectual representations and the prevailing thinking processes. Our hypothesis is that the TAT could also be deployed as a valid tool in the analysis of inter-personal functioning, specifically within the couple. From this assumption originates our proposal for an original methodology of TAT deployment and reading, which integrates the classical individual TAT methodology with the Common Rorschach method suggested by Willi. The goal is to experiment a parallel utilisation of the test that could contribute to the understanding of personalities and of how these intertwine in couple interaction. “In the relationship with the partner, the personality takes new shapes, given personality and character traits are strengthened, while others lose importance”, (Theodore Lidz, in Willi, 1990). The couple TAT presupposes a sequence of pictures proposed following procedures identical to the Common Rorschach ones to the single individuals at first and then to the couple. From the initial individual task follows the one of building a commonly shared history starting from the stimulus. The suggested methodology shall be exemplified through the presentation of clinical cases belonging to the research sample. The comprehension of the inter-personal dynamic, in a common task, could allow to explore the ways in which conflict expresses itself, the roles and prospects for collaboration, the “generativity” of the couple and the management of affects and anxieties in the interaction and could be successfully deployed as a tool in the context of couple counselling.

Using land use change scenarios to inform the monitoring of species’ conservation statuses
Creators: name: Januchowski-Hartley, Stephanie
Publisher: name: F1000Research
Year: 2016

description: Human land use change is a major threat to freshwater biodiversity worldwide. Considering land use change scenarios can contribute to and facilitate more proactive conservation and decision making. Drawing on three projections for 2051 we evaluated how land use could change within freshwater fish species ranges in the United States. Using an existing area based threshold, we identified both range-restricted and threatened species that are most likely to be impacted by land use change. We set our analyses within the context of species’ status on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List and United States’ Endangered Species Act, and discuss the potential implications of our findings for informing species’ conservation status assessments. We reflect on how these analyses could be further integrated with information on other human threats, such as dams, to further inform national and international assessments such as the Convention on Biological Diversity.

subject: Mixed methods

description: Utilizing a mixed methods design, this research examines the ways in which students’ perceptions of safety and danger on the college campus vary and do not vary according to gender through the inclusion of three key components. The first focuses on individual perceptions of safety on campus, along with the ways in which students and other members of the campus community police their behaviors within the university setting to ensure that their personal space is not violated as they navigate to and from classes and campus events. This section relies on data from interviews and focus groups with 24 Mason students and staff, along with data from the observations of two open meetings of the Presidential Task Force during April 2011 which centered on issues regarding campus safety. The second component of this study examines the institutional presentation of safety issues and risks to the university community. This section includes a content analysis of five crime and safety documents released during the 2011-2012 academic year to the campus community from the University Police and administration. The final component consists of a nation-wide assessment of safety on college campuses, relying on the crime and security data from two nationally representative datasets including the Bureau of Justice Statistics’ 2004-2005 Survey of Campus Law Enforcement Agencies and the U.S. Department of Education’s 2006-2007 Campus Safety and Security Data Analysis Cutting Tool. This study builds on previous research on this topic by investigating the gendered (and not gendered) dimensions of fear, in addition to how such fears may operate to restrict women’s participation on the university campus and beyond. Further, this research seeks to inform discussions at colleges and universities about how to make students feel safer as they pursue higher education.

description: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) hold great promise as therapeutic modalities due to their endogenous characteristics, however, further bioengineering refinement is required to address clinical and commercial limitations. Clinical applications of EV-based therapeutics are being trialed in immunomodulation, tissue regeneration and recovery, and as delivery vectors for combination therapies. Native/biological EVs possess diverse endogenous properties that offer stability and facilitate crossing of biological barriers for delivery of molecular cargo to cells, acting as a form of intercellular communication to regulate function and phenotype. Moreover, EVs are important components of paracrine signaling in stem/progenitor cell-based therapies, are employed as standalone therapies, and can be used as a drug delivery system. Despite remarkable utility of native/biological EVs, they can be improved using bio/engineering approaches to further therapeutic potential. EVs can be engineered to harbor specific pharmaceutical content, enhance their stability, and modify surface epitopes for improved tropism and targeting to cells and tissues in vivo. Limitations currently challenging the full realization of their therapeutic utility include scalability and standardization of generation, molecular characterization for design and regulation, therapeutic potency assessment, and targeted delivery. The fields’ utilization of advanced technologies (imaging, quantitative analyses, multi-omics, labeling/live-cell reporters), and utility of biocompatible natural sources for producing EVs (plants, bacteria, milk) will play an important role in overcoming these limitations. Advancements in EV engineering methodologies and design will facilitate the development of EV-based therapeutics, revolutionizing the current pharmaceutical landscape.

description: Background: The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had a profound impact on health care in Australia. To contain the spread of the virus, strict physical distancing and social isolation policies were implemented from late March 2020. This presented a situation in which patients recovering from anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction had limited access to face-to-face supervised rehabilitation and rehabilitation facilities. Purpose: To explore the impact of social distancing and isolation policies on postoperative rehabilitation in patients after ACL reconstruction. Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Patients who had ACL reconstruction from October 2019 until the end of March 2020 (6 months before the implementation of COVID-19 restrictions) completed an online self-report questionnaire containing 5 sections: utilization of health care professionals for rehabilitation, frequency of rehabilitation, patient concerns and attitude, perceived impact on recovery, and changes to employment status. We compared the responses of patients who had surgery in 2019 with those who had surgery in 2020. Statistical analysis was performed using frequency statistics and central tendency measures. Results: A total of 185 patients (97 men, 88 women) completed the survey, for a 73% response rate. Patients had a mean age of 28 years (range, 13-57 years) and had undergone surgery a mean 4.5 months prior (range, 1.5-8 months). Most patients (80%) maintained face-to-face rehabilitation, predominantly with a physical therapist, regardless of whether their surgery took place in 2019 or 2020; rehabilitation with active, supervised exercises was most common. Almost all patients were performing strengthening exercises (164/185), and most were performing range-of-motion (139/185) and aerobic (123/185) activities at their homes. Patients were minimally concerned about access to supervised rehabilitation and knee reinjury, but they were concerned about access to equipment. Because of COVID-19, 30% were working from home; 17% were on reduced hours and 8% on increased hours; 15% were on leave or unemployed; and 30% reported no change in employment status. Conclusion: Patients who had undergone ACL reconstruction just before or during the first few months of the COVID-19 pandemic were able to maintain in-person contact with their health professionals during rehabilitation, and they had a positive outlook and managed well despite the restrictions.

description: Athletes' dietary intakes sometimes do not meet sports nutrition guidelines. Nutrition knowledge (NK) is one factor that may influence dietary intake, but NK measurement tools are often outdated or unvalidated, and results regarding athletes' NK are equivocal. The aims of this systematic review were to update previous systematic reviews by examining athletes' NK and to assess the relationship between athletes' general NK, sport NK and dietary intake. MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, Web of Science, and Cochrane were searched for studies published between November 2015 and November 2020, that provided a quantitative measure of NK and described the NK tool used. Twenty-eight studies were included; study quality was assessed using JBI checklists and data on NK score, diet intake was extracted. Eight studies utilised validated, up-to-date NK measurement tools. Mean general and sport NK% scores varied between 40.2% ± 12.4 and 70 % ± 9. Mean protein and carbohydrate consumption were 1.1-3.4 g/kg.bw/day and 2.4-4.6 g/kg.bw/day, respectively. Weak-to-moderate, positive associations were found between NK and positive dietary behaviours. Due to a wide variety of NK measurement tools used, it is difficult to synthesise results to determine overall NK in athletes. Overall, there appears to be a low standard of knowledge. Quality of measurement tools for NK has improved but remains an issue. Future studies should use relevant, current validated NK tools, or validate tools in their study population. More research is needed into the relationship between NK and other modifiable factors influencing dietary intake.

description: This dissertation analyzes the economic growth dynamics of low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) eligible for the World Bank’s International Development Association (IDA) support. LMICs are prime candidates for development and innovation, but unfortunately, a lack of a suitable framework and poor data environments dent their value and representation. I cater to those issues by building and testing a framework of growth conditions (capacities in this dissertation) using secondary data from 82 LMICs and primary data from fieldwork in Pakistan. Specifically, I address the impact of national-level capacities on economic growth over time while controlling for confounders (including incoming skills). Capacities comprise technology and innovation, business environment and finance, human capital, infrastructure, public policy, and social policy, including welfare and inclusion. Inspired by management science and innovation system literature, the first chapter asserts the need for absorptive capacity approaches in measuring innovation and development processes in LMICs. The second chapter builds a new complete panel dataset with no missing values for 82 LMICs and establishes the reliability and suitability of the dataset in operationalizing the capacities in LMICs. The third chapter builds a framework of capacities in LMICs and tests the framework using machine learning and econometric approaches to examine how capacities affect economic growth in LMICs longitudinally. The fourth chapter classifies LMICs into five clusters to explore trends for policy implications: leading, walking, limping, crawling, and sleeping economies. Economic growth and capacities are higher in leading economies, followed by walking, limping, crawling, and sleeping. The findings highlight the criticality of infrastructure, finance, skilled human capital, and public policy capacities to enhance economic growth. Incoming flows and skills from abroad are also found to be relevant for economic growth in LMICs. Lastly, the fifth chapter conducts research through interviews and secondary content analyses in Pakistan and Bangladesh to ascertain qualitative findings. Analyses confirm the positive effects of some capacities on economic growth as well as the role of confounders in mitigating those effects. Overall, by ranking empirically important capacities for economic growth, I offer suggestions to cash-strapped governments and international organizations such as the World Bank, the UN, and the USAID to make effective investments to achieve sustainable development goals and boost prosperity.

description: The relationship formed between a human and a dog can be transformative. Human-Animal Interaction (HAI) research aims to understand why these relationships are so important. Within this field, human-dog relationships have been explained through various theoretical constructs, of which the ‘biophilia hypothesis’, ‘attachment theory’ and ‘social support’ are the most common. However, none of these constructs completely explain the benefits that human-dog relationships can provide. In this paper, a new theory, the Thriving Through Relationships (TTR) theory, is applied to human-dog relationships, in order to ascertain its capacity to further explain the benefits that dogs can provide to humans. The TTR theory proposes mechanisms for immediate and long-term indicators of thriving, which may add new insight into how human-dog relationships are beneficial. Multiple dimensions of thriving are used to explain how a supportive other could assist an individual to thrive, both in the face of adversity and during times of relative normalcy. The TTR theory may, therefore, enhance understanding of the transformative potential of human-dog relationships.

description: Background: The Type D personality is a vulnerability factor associated with the psychological suffering that affects the physical and mental health state. Literature shows that the Type D personality is defined by a combination of two independent constructs: the negative affectivity (NA) which refers to the tendency to experience negative emotions over time and in several situations; and the social inhibition (SI) or the tendency to inhibit emotions and behaviors in social interactions.

Objective: The present study aims to explore the emotions of a group of patients with heart disease, through the use of the Rorschach projective tecnique.

Method: Fourty subjects with an history of heart attack, aged between 32 and 76 years, were evaluated in order to find some possible indicators of Type D personality such as the quality of contents, movements response, popular responses and Erlebnistypus.

Results: Findings shows that the majority of patients present a prevalence of responses belonging to Animal and Anatomy contents and the Erlebnistypus is mostly introversive.

Conclusions: The study points out some scientific element useful both in research and in clinical practice, confirming the Rorschach potential in the assessment and identification of specific personality traits, involved in the Type D personality, that characterizes the majority of cardiac impared patients.

description: Perceptual derailment and confabulations often appear in a subtle way, being processes addressable to the field of inner world, conditioning the diagnostic process. The present clinical report aims to explore the role of Rorschach projective technique in eliciting processes otherwise unsearchable. Psycho-diagnostics data were compared to other psychometric tests such as the MMPI-2 (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) and the POMS (Profile of Mood States) at time 0 and time 1 (after six months). Among these, the exploration of the projective process was crucial to understand the patient's mental functioning, as an elective instrument,  thanks to its ambiguous nature, which leads to effectively explore both the inner world and the cognitive processes.

description: The USA is one of the hardest hit areas by COVID-19. As of March 13th, 2021, 29.5M people were infected and 534K have lost their lives [1]. The USA government has authorized Pfizer and Moderna mRNA COVID-19 vaccines for the prevention of Coronavirus. However, these vaccines are allocated to certain groups and are not available to the public yet. Vaccine’s demand is skyrocketing as the United States of America is unable to contain the virus, and a new more contagious and deadlier Covid-19 variant is emerging. Given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is imperative to efficiently distribute vaccines to contain and eventually eradicate the virus. It is important to identify the hardest hit region/state that is still struggling to fight and protect their residence from viruses. The main question we are attempting to answer is how we can use COVID-19 data to identify focal points for COVID-19 breakout and formulate an efficient and speedy response. In this research we analyze COVID-19 vaccine trend.

description: Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder characterized by deficits in the areas of communication, socialization and behavior. Current diagnostic criteria have been modified in a restrictive sense, thus the possibility that individuals with milder impairments may not reach the diagnostic threshold is concrete. Furthermore, heterogeneity in phenotypic expression and the high rate of comorbidity with other psychiatric disorders would make even more difficult the diagnostic classification in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The present study was a Rorschach investigation aimed to identify specific psychopathological elements to properly orient the diagnosis of ASD in adulthood. Results have shown that the examined subjects were characterized by pragmatism, documented by the presence of details and little details, falls in formal thinking, thought inflexibility, lack of answers with human content, and the prevalence of particular phenomena (denial, perseveration). Data obtained in the study showed a specific pattern of psychopathological signs in adults with ASD, thus suggesting the importance of projective methods for a better understanding of the clinical features of avoidance behaviors and relationships.

description: Abstract


The remarkable importance of a calibration of a test lies in the formalization of useful statistical norms. In particular, the determination of these norms is of key importance for the Rorschach Test because of it allows objectifying the estimates of the interpretations’ formal qualities, and help to characterize responses consistent with the common perception.


The aim of this work is to communicate the new results provided by a study conducted  on Rorschach protocols related to a sample of “non-clinical” subjects.


The expert team in Psychodiagnostic of CIFRIC (Italian Center for training, research and clinic in medicine and psychology) has carried out the following work identifying the rate at which the details of each card are interpreted by normative sample.


The data obtained are systematized in new Location sheets, which refers to the next edition of the "Updated Manual of Locations and Coding of Responses to Rorschach Test".

            Considering the Rorschach Test one of the more effective means for the acquaintance of the personality, it appears therefore fundamental to provide the professional, who uses it, with the possibility of accessing updated statistical data that reflect the population of reference, in order to deduce from them reliable and objectively valid indications.

description: This study focuses on a real-world case that is defined as an extension of the container loading problem (CLP) with weakly heterogeneous types of boxes. A company producing plastic cups wants to increase its efficiency in container loading operations. To solve the problem, a hybrid approach including a static rule to rank orders and integer nonlinear programming (INLP) models is developed. INLP models form box sizes according to the properties of the cups, and determine the position of the boxes in layers while simultaneously minimizing the layer-depth. The presented approach is tested on real-world cases and benchmark data sets. The results show that simultaneously forming boxes and solving the CLP increases the effectiveness of container loading operations.

description: This thesis is a collection of personal essays that span my entire life. A few concern my childhood, but most of the essays revolve around the past few years, from the ages of twenty-three to twenty-six. The collection poses questions about ideas of homecoming— what “home” means, why we feel the desire to escape, and what, inevitably, brings us back. The centrifugal force behind this work is the passing of my mother, Tina, who died on April 20th 2010. Although I spent years trying to get away from Virginia, traveling to nearly two dozen countries on three continents, living for extended periods of time in Germany and Slovakia, I’ve always come back to where I was from. I currently live in Virginia, tethered to a teaching job and a fiancé; however, in less than a year I will be escaping yet again—south this time, to settle down in Mexico City.

description: Executive Functions are goal-directed neurocognitive processes that allow the management of cognition and behavior. Executive Functions are essential to allow people to set goals, self-monitor, inhibit inappropriate responses, and generally engage in well-planned, flexible, future-oriented behavior. Metacognitive processes, in close alliance with executive functions, are viewed as integral components of awareness and emotional regulation. The influence of metacognition on planning, monitoring and mental flexibility has not been investigated. The aim of this pilot study was to examine the relationship between metacognition and executive functions in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis patient's caregivers. Twenty-two caregivers were evaluated using the following instruments: Metacognition Questionnaire-30 and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test.


Data analysis was performed using SPSS for Windows applying correlational analysis (Spearman’s Rho). We founded that total score of metacognition is positive correlated with number of perseverative errors made in Wisconsin (0.75 p

description: This article aims to underline the organic way of working of an eclectic scientist and politician by the name of Gaetano Martino and his studies on nutrition, experimental reflex epilepsy and conditioned reflexes. The studies on conditioned reflexes were analyzing by Martino because he did not fully agree with Pavlov’s ideas regarding the modifications of the reflex arc subsequent to the formation of a conditioned reflex.

Furthermore, thanks to his studies on conditioned reflexes, psychology and psychiatry have found, and continue to find, important developments towards the understanding of man's personality.

The Messines physiologist, by virtue of his indisputable dedication and passion for research, managed to open a prolific dialogue between two apparently distinct and distant disciplines, actively moving towards an interdisciplinary approach, thus anticipating a basic principle of present-day science.

description: A stochastic bilevel programming problem with multiple followers is presented in this article. Such kinds of problem are computationally difficult and efficient algorithms are lacking thanks to the randomness properties in the problem setting, its hierarchical structure and the expected simultaneous decision at the followers' level for each strategy of the leader. This article proposes a systematic sampling evolutionary algorithm that is established on a sample average approximation, a systematic sampling technique and particle swarm optimization integrated with an iterated method. The solution procedure is implemented and its effectiveness is tested on a variety of illustrative examples from the literature and on carefully constructed problems. The simulation results show that the proposed method is promising and can be used to solve a variety of complex stochastic bilevel programming problems with multiple followers.

description: Peak match running intensities have recently been introduced to quantify the peak running demands of football competition, across incremental time intervals, to inform training practices. However, their between-match variation is yet to be comprehensively reported, limiting the ability to determine meaningful changes in peak match running intensities. The current study aimed to quantify the between-match variability in peak match running intensities across discrete moving average durations (1–10 min). GPS data were collected from 44 elite football players across 68 matches (mean ± SD; 13 ± 10 observations per player). For inclusion players must have completed 70mins of a match across a minimum of two matches. Performance metrics included total and high-speed (> 19.8 km·h-1) running distances and average acceleration (m·s -2), expressed relative to time. For each metric, the coefficient of variation and smallest worthwhile difference were calculated. The peak match running intensity data was similar to previously reported data from various football competitions. The between-match CV of relative total distance ranged between 6.8–7.3%, with the CV for average acceleration and relative high-speed running being 5.4–5.8% and 20.6–29.8%, respectively. The greater variability observed for relative high-speed running is likely reflective of the varying constraints and contextual factors that differ between matches. The reported between-match variability helps to provide context when interpreting match performance and prescribing training drills using peak match running intensity data.
