The nocebo effect, linked to the belief in the harmfulness of a treatment or a noxa, has been less studied than its opposite, the placebo, but has proven to be equally if not more important than the latter both in clinics and in research. The factors that determine it, the mechanisms that mediate it and the pathological processes that can result are briefly summarized. The implications of nocebo effect in different fields are therefore discussed, as are the main indications for counteracting it. Finally, given that the nocebo effect implies the connection between the cognitive, emotional and behavioral levels, the possibility that it constitutes an interesting study model for a better understanding of the relationships between physical and psychological aspects in both in health and in illness is discussed.

Thanks to current national investigations, research applied to libraries in Italy has an unprecedented amount of data from which are emerging new complex issues and some worrying contradictions. In this framework lies the need to design structured in-depth investigations using innovative interpretative tools. Following an interdisciplinary approach, the article therefore proposes a methodological reflection on the opportunities offered by the integration between geographical knowledge and librarianship. Starting from the comparison between the main application purposes of GIS technology (Geographic Information System) adopted so far, both nationally and internationally, with some new experiments conducted in recent years, the contribution intends to present the potential of a method geographical gis-based for the interpretation of the relationships that link libraries to their context of action.

Background: Beta thalassemia minor and iron deficiency anemia both exhibit microcytic hypochromic anemia commonly. Different screening indexes have been introduced in order to differentiate between BTT and iron deficiency anemia which are easy to approach and convenient. Objective: Our study aimed to differentiate and screen the BTT and iron deficiency anemia on the basis of different discrimination indexes in order to evaluate the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of those indexes. Results: In this study, data from 201 people were collected, in which 175 cases were confirmed diagnosed with heterozygous beta thalassemia having HbA2 equal to or greater than 3.5%. 26 out of 201 were presenting iron deficiency anemia confirmed via serum ferritin. Both genders were included in this study. Upon applying eight different discrimination indexes, none of them showed 100% specificity and sensitivity. However, Shine & Lal index was more sensitive (93%) in diagnosing BTT as compared to others. 166(94%) out of 175 confirmed cases were diagnosed to have beta thalassemia trait via the S&L index followed by the Ricerca index that screened about 74% of total diagnosed cases of beta thalassemia trait. RDWI was also helpful in screening beta thalassemia traits and diagnosed about 73% of confirmed cases of BTT. The order of sensitivity of indexes in detecting BTT is S&L > RICERCA > RDWI > MCHD > MI > E&F > SRIVASTAV > MDHL. E&F index and MDHL screened 92% of confirmed IDA cases showing 88% of sensitivity and were helpful in diagnosing iron deficiency anemia. The order of accuracy of indexes in diagnosing IDA is E&F = MDHL > SRIVASTAV > MI > RDWI= RICERCA > S&L > MCHD Conclusion: Upon studying the sensitivity and specificity of different discrimination indexes regarding BTT and IDA, none of them seemed 100% authentic and accurate to be relied upon. Only RICERCA appears to be the most reliable index to discriminate between BTT and IDA One should go for diagnostic lab tests after being screened with the discrimination index for getting correct and specific treatment and prevent any unpleasant condition upon relying and diagnosis on the basis of discrimination index. The discrimination index is helpful in screening some cases of BTT and IDA but it doesn't perfectly screen all cases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Wikipedia, i progetti Wikimedia e OpenStreetMap sono banche dati e siti Internet collaborativi internazionali, che permettono a tutti i cittadini di avere accesso al sapere e di partecipare alla costruzione di una conoscenza libera, ovvero aperta e collaborativa in oltre 300 lingue. “Aperto” significa che tutti i contenuti prodotti e diffusi attraverso queste piattaforme possono essere modificati e riutilizzati da tutti anche per usi commerciali. “Collaborativo” significa che questi progetti invitano ciascuno a contribuire, si basano su fonti esistenti e disseminano e danno grande visibilità a testi, immagini, contenuti multimediali e dati. Wikipedia, i progetti Wikimedia e OpenStreetMap sono attualmente i più grandi esempi di come l’apertura dei contenuti e l’interoperabilità nutrano l’impegno civico, rendano possibile il riutilizzo virtuoso dei contenuti della ricerca e della cultura e permettano alle comunità del mondo di contribuire alla citizen science; i dati aperti di questi progetti sono inoltre uno strumento e un oggetto di studio per i ricercatori e le istituzioni culturali.

Affinché i diritti fondamentali alla ricerca, all’educazione e all’accesso alla cultura possano essere esercitati a livello digitale e transfrontaliero, è necessario sensibilizzare un intervento legislativo a livello internazionale. La direttiva europea sul diritto d’autore nel mercato unico digitale facilita notevolmente l’esercizio di tali diritti attraverso l’introduzione di eccezioni obbligatorie che consentono attività importanti, come l’estrazione di testo e dati o l’insegnamento online in contesti transfrontalieri, ma è applicabile solo all’interno degli ordinamenti degli Stati membri e, a volte, in modo disarmonico. Ogni Stato ha, infatti, un grado di flessibilità nella ricezione che mina l’omogeneità della disciplina.

The aim of this article is to share the Italian validation of the SOFTA-o (System for Observing Family Therapy Alliances; Friedlander et al., 2006), an observational rating system of the Therapeutic Alliance (TA) in conjoint therapy, family and couple therapy. This observing system contains the alliance-related behaviors clustered in four macro-dimensions: Engagement in the Therapeutic Process; Emotional Connection with the Therapist, Safety within the Therapeutic System, Shared Sense of Purpose within the Family. The SOFTA-o is useful for research, training and supervision. In the final part of this article, we highlight the clinical usefulness with some examples of application. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article examines how the Risorgimento is now presented in Italian text-books for secondary schools. By analysing a sample of 38 works currently on the market, it reflects on the authors, on the normative and editorial conditions in which they work, on the space, on the proposed periodisations, on the historiographical categories employed, and finally on the reception of the most up-to-date scholarship on this topic.

The paper traces the history of ‘Third Mission”, from an ethical perspective to an institutional task, defining the relevance in it of the information-research-society relationship, and the role of communication and of Public Engagement, both as tools to implement this relationship. The second part analyses the normative documents and the ministerial procedures, presenting the structural evolution, and reserving a specific in-depth analysis to the academic libraries as special laboratory places for a conjunction between research and society.

Alla luce della forte pervasività sociale e culturale, nelle società contemporanee, di tutte quelle tecnologie chiamate dell’informazione e della comunicazione, contraddistinte appunto dalla dimensione digitale, l’articolo si propone di fare una sintesi informata sul tema delle tecnologie digitali in educazione e formazione. Tale sintesi scaturisce da un campione di 25 articoli rilevanti ed evidenzia tre grandi aree tematiche che hanno contraddistinto il tema delle tecnologie digitali in ambito educativo e formativo: l’uso di risorse digitali all’interno delle pratiche di insegnamento e apprendimento, l’uso adeguato delle tecnologie digitali, anche al di fuori dei contesti formativi ed educativi, e la formazione del corpo docenti alle tecnologie digitali e soprattutto al loro utilizzo a fini didattici e pedagogici. Tale sintesi rappresenta un’opportunità privilegiata per evidenziare ciò che la rivista ha contribuito a diffondere in tale ambito dal punto di vista scientifico. L’articolo, grazie anche ad uno sguardo attuale sugli sviluppi della ricerca sulle tecnologie in educazione, permette così di delineare gli orientamenti passati e recenti, così come le problematiche e le criticità attuali che contraddistinguono questo ambito importante e in continua evoluzione.

Professor Renzo Canestrari (whose essential biographical notes are summarized) had a scientific activity over almost seventy years. This activity covered various areas of psychology, regarding in particular the psychology of perception, the psychology of developmental age and the clinical psychology. Taken as a whole, his publications reporting experimental and clinical findings and new insights into several theoretical issues constitute a cultural heritage of great epistemological value. Moreover, they document important steps of the development of Italian psychology in the second half of the 1900s, the knowledge of which is potentially of great interest for the history and epistemology of psychological sciences.

Psychotherapy supervision research, while reflecting empirical advances across the decades, also reflects unfulfilled promise. We subsequently consider why that is so, examining some of the roadblocks that seemingly have prevented supervision research from moving most fruitfully forward. It is our contention that rich seeds of supervision research advancement have long been available, cast in the form of constructive recommendations for action that, unfortunately, have generally gone unheeded and not been acted upon. In hopes of further stimulating supervision research and a re-study of those useful recommendations, we review long-lingering supervision roadblocks, remedies, and recommendations for remedy implementation. Several fundamental issues — focusing on study design, sampling, and measurement concerns — are taken up for consideration. Supervision research, because of its triadic nature, can be highly challenging, difficult to conduct, even 'messy'. But if supervision is to ever empirically advance beyond its current state, then re-visiting and acting upon some of those earlier-identified, admittedly-demanding recommendations seems sine qua non.

Is it really possible to make an histoire du temps présent by analyzing an event like a global pandemic? What tools should the historian use to investigate the phenomena related to the spread of Covid-19? In a similar context, what is the role of the public historian? The historians Enrica Salvatori (Pisa), Alessandro Casellato (Venice), Roberto Bianchi (Florence) have tried to answer these questions.
