Emotion Regulation and Attachment: a Bond Told Through the Adult Attachment Projective Picture System

openLa mia tesi ha l’obiettivo di approfondire lo straordinario legame tra l’attaccamento del bambino al suo caregiver primario e la regolazione emotiva. In particolare, voglio raccontare questo legame attraverso un test proiettivo-narrativo di recente costruzione: l’Adult Attachment Projective Picture System. Lo farò provando a descrivere brevemente la culla teorica della Teoria dell’Attaccamento di Bowlby, soffermandomi sui filoni di ricerca più recenti; approfondirò poi il legame esistente tra l’attaccamento e la regolazione emotiva, mettendo in luce, in particolare, gli aspetti legati all’impulsività e all’alessitimia. Successivamente farò un breve excursus sui Disturbi del Comportamento Alimentare e sugli Agiti Autolesivi nella prospettiva dell’attaccamento. Presenterò poi, l’Adult Attachment Projective Picture System, che ha lo scopo di valutare le rappresentazioni mentali di attaccamento che l’individuo si forma nell’ambito delle relazioni primarie. In particolare, presenterò tre casi clinici individuati in un campione clinico di adolescenti afferenti all’UOC della Neuropsichiatria di Padova.My thesis aims to explore the extraordinary link between a child's attachment to his or her primary caregiver and emotional regulation. Specifically, I want to recount this link through a newly constructed projective-narrative test: the Adult Attachment Projective Picture System. I will do this by attempting to briefly describe the theoretical cradle of Bowlby's Attachment Theory, dwelling on the most recent strands of research; I will then elaborate on the link between attachment and emotional regulation, highlighting, in particular, aspects related to impulsivity and alexithymia. I will then give a brief excursus on Eating Behavior Disorders and Self-Injurious Acts in the attachment perspective. I will then present, the Adult Attachment Projective Picture System, which aims to assess the mental representations of attachment that the individual forms in the context of primary relationships. In particular, I will present three clinical cases identified in a clinical sample of adolescents followed by the UOC of Neuropsychiatry in Padua, Italy

Guida alle macrofite acquatiche del Friuli Venezia Giulia I - Piante vascolari

La Direttiva Quadro sulle Acque (2000/60/CE), recepita in Italia dal DL. 152/2006, ha introdotto lo studio delle macrofite acquatiche nella valutazione dello stato ecologico delle acque interne, basato sui criteri tecnici del DM 260/2011. Per i corsi d'acqua è previsto l'uso dell'Indice Biologique Macrophytique en Rivière IBMR (AFNOR, 2003), per i laghi degli indici MTIspecies e MacroIMMI (CNR-ISE, 2009). La certificazione di qualità delle analisi biologiche richiede strumenti conoscitivi adeguati: la creazione di chiavi informatizzate è una tappa fondamentale. Questa guida è stata sviluppata dal Dipartimento di Scienze della Vita dell'Università di Trieste e da ARPA Friuli Venezia Giulia come supporto all'identificazione della flora acquatica regionale. Risulta dalla condivisione delle conoscenze dell'ateneo giuliano con l'esperienza dei tecnici ARPA FVG nell'ambito delle attività di biomonitoraggio per il Piano Regionale di Tutela delle Acque. Le macrofite acquatiche comprendono vegetali molto diversi: alghe macroscopicamente visibili, muschi, epatiche e piante vascolari, a cui è dedicata questa guida. L'elenco floristico comprende taxa tipici di ambienti lotici e lentici, creato in fasi successive. Una prima lista deriva dal confronto tra la quella utilizzata per il calcolo dell'IBMR e la lista delle macrofite acquatiche dei corsi d'acqua italiani pubblicata da ENEA (RT/2009/23/ENEA). La successiva comparazione tra i dati dell'Atlante Corologico del Friuli Venezia Giulia (Poldini 2002) ed una lista risultante da rilievi condotti nel 2009-2010 da ARPA FVG, hanno portato all'elenco di 244 taxa inclusi in questa guida. La suddivisione in Famiglie segue Angiosperm Phylogeny Group III (2009)

Prehistoric copper metallurgy in the Italian Eastern Alps, recent results

The results of archaeometric investigations on copper slags and copper/bronze artefacts of Eneolithic and Bronze Age from North-Eastern Italy are presented. The research has been carried out in collaboration with a number of Regional Superintendencies, Museums, and Universities. Concerning prehistoric slags, all known occurrences of Eneolithic slags from Trentino (La Vela, Gaban, Acquaviva di Besenello, Romagnano, Montesei di Serso) and Alto Adige (Millan, Gudon, Bressanone Circonvallazione Ovest) have been investigated from the chemical and mineralogical point of view to interpret the copper extraction technology. Lead isotope ratios and trace element concentrations measured on copper droplets and residual sulphides within the slags have been used to locate the ore sources. Analogous characterization measurements were performed on Late Bronze Age slags from three sites in Trentino (Luserna, Segonzano, Transacqua). The critical interpretation of the data confirms that there are two major phases of copper exploitation in the area: one peaking in the latter part of the Eneolithic Age, and one peaking in the Late Bronze Age. Each phase is characterized by distinct metal extraction technologies and geographical distribution of the metallurgical activities. Concerning prehistoric artefacts, a number of selected copper and bronze objects have been investigated from the area for the interpretation of the manufacturing technology (metallography) and metal provenance (chemical and isotopic analyses). A few objects made with copper ores of East Alpine origin have been positively identified, though the data also indicate a wide circulation of copper metal originating from ore sources outside the Alps

Tipologia e archeometria dei bronzi di Castel de Pedena (San Gregorio nelle Alpi, Belluno).

Typological, chemical and isotopic analysis on Castel de Pedena bronze artifacts (San Gregorio nelle Alpi, Belluno) - Chemical and isotopic results made on bronze artifacts, together with typological and deeply chrono-cultural aspects, fundamentally contribute to the understanding of the mountain settlement of Castel de Pedena in the transition between the final Bronze age and the ancient Iron age, also considered in relation with alpine and venetian cultural influences

Prehistoric copper metallurgy in the Italian Eastern Alps: recent results

The University of Padova has developed a geochemical database for the Alpine copper mines which contains lead isotope data for most of the copper deposits in the Western Alps and Italian Eastern Alps, besides a number of other geochemical tracers for selected deposits. The database fills an existing gap in available reference data and provides information for the geochemical interpretation of the mineral deposits. It is of course also an important reference for archaeometric purposes, to provenance the mineral source of slags and metal objects. Several Alpine copper deposits may now be successfully discriminated from those of other European and Mediterranean mining areas. The results obtained on a number of Copper Age and Bronze Age metal objects are presented. A few objects made with copper ores of South-East Alpine origin have been positively identified for the first time, though the data also indicate a wide circulation of copper metal possibly originating from ore sources outside the Alps

A hidden Oligocene pluton linked to the Periadriatic Fault System beneath the Permian Bressanone pluton, eastern Southern Alps

The Bressanone (Brixen) pluton, cropping out at the culmination of the Southalpine indenter between the North Giudicarie and the Pustertal-Gailtal faults, is mainly composed of Permian granodiorite to granite, with minor gabbros and diorites in its southern part. New U–Pb SHRIMP zircon ages reveal two distinct crystallization episodes at 289.7 ± 3.2 and 280 ± 2.2 Ma, respectively. The pluton is affected by a hydrothermal potassic to sodic + Cu metasomatic alteration, which has long been ascribed to a late phase of the Permian magmatism. In contrast with this hypothesis, we report new 39Ar–40Ar data for different generations of metasomatic K-feldspar, which indicate formation ages between 35.3 ± 0.3 and 27.8 ± 0.5 Ma. This interval overlaps with the ages of the widespread ‘Periadriatic’ calc-alkaline magmatism, which extends from the Western to the Eastern Alps straddling the Periadriatic Fault System. The observed hydrothermalism has geochemical characteristics compatible with those of the coeval calc-alkaline Periadriatic magmatism. These data altogether suggest the release of fluids from a hidden intrusion during the main stage of the Alpine orogenic magmatism. Our results provide the first evidence of Oligocene magmatic activity in the Southern Alps east of the Giudicarie Line, bridging the gap between the western-central and eastern Alpine magmatic plutons. A fairly continuous Oligocene magmatic belt straddling the Periadriatic Fault System is consistent with a triggering of the magmatism by slab steepening or slab break-off, either of which are considered to be an essential driver for the Miocene lithospheric rearrangement in the Eastern Alps. Our finding is particularly relevant given that the outcropping area of the Bressanone pluton is centred above the imaged subducting lithosphere gap that separates the Western-Central and the Eastern Alps, hence at a location where mantle upwelling should have been easier although no relevant magmatism was found to date

Una nuova ascia vicina al tipo Ponte S. Giovanni da Cesiomaggiore (Belluno). Inquadramento tipocronologico e analisi archeometriche.

A new bronze axe from Cesiomagg iore (Belluno). Typ ological classification, chemical and isotopic results - We report the found of a new bronze axe from Cesiomaggiore, in the Belluno area. This sporadic found, at about 1000 m asl, is chronologically dated to the transition between the final Bronze age and the ancient Iron age. It may be classified between the latest types of Ponte San Giovanni axes and the Aldeno axes with upper wings. The axe belongs to a wider region distinguished by mountain settlement adaptations including bronze hoards and other sporadic discoveries.The new Cesiomaggiore axe should be located on the connecting route from the Belluno Dolomites, through Primiero, to the Trentino interland. The comparison between chemical and isotopic results on the new bronze axe and the data coming out from the current project on Copper in the Alps seems to be an interesting element for metal circulation hypotheses and knowledge
