Interreality in the Management of Psychological Stress: a Clinical Scenario
The term “psychological stress” describes a situation in which a subject perceives that environmental demands tax or exceed his or her adaptive capacity. According to the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, the best validated approach covering both stress management and stress treatment is the Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) approach. We aim to design, develop and test an advanced ICT based solution for the assessment and treatment of psychological stress that is able to improve the actual CBT approach. To reach this goal we will use the “interreality” paradigm integrating assessment and treatment within a hybrid environment, that creates a bridge between the physical and virtual worlds. Our claim is that bridging virtual experiences (fully controlled by the therapist, used to learn coping skills and emotional regulation) with real experiences (allowing both the identification of any critical stressors and the assessment of what has been learned) using advanced technologies (virtual worlds, advanced sensors and PDA/mobile phones) is the best way to address the above limitations. To illustrate the proposed concept, a clinical scenario is also presented and discussed: Paola, a 45 years old nurse, with a mother affected by progressive senile dementia

PELAKSANAAN PERJANJIAN BAGI HASIL TANAH PERTANIAN BERDASARKAN UNDANG-UNDANG NO. 2 TAHUN 1960 TENTANG PERJANJIAN BAGI HASIL (Studi di Desa Wangunharja Kecamatan Lembang Kabupaten Bandung Barat)
Fokus tesis ini adalah mengenai pelaksanaan perjanjian bagi hasil
tanah pertanian yang banyak terjadi. kajian tesis ini penting untuk
dilakukan penelitian sebab dalam kenyataan prakteknya di masyarakat
banyak ditemui pelaksanaan perjanjian bagi hasil tanah pertanian yang
tidak sesuai dengan yang terdapat dalam UU no 2 tahun 1960 tentang
perjanjian bagi hasil.
Tesis ini membahas berdasarkan 2 (dua) permasalahan pertama ,
bagaimana pelaksanaan perjanjian bagi hasil tanah pertanian di Desa
Wanguharja telah di dasarkan atau sesuai dengan UU no 2 tahun
1960?dan yang kedua, apakah perjanjian bagi hasil tersebut sudah
memenuhi rasa keadilan bagi para pihak
Untuk menganalisis 2 (dua) permasalahan tersebut, dilakukanlah
penelitian di wilayah Desa Wanguharja Kecamatan Lembang Kabupaten
Bandung Barat. Penulis melakukan jenis penelitian deskripstif, dengan
metode pendekatan yuridis empiris (socio legal). Ini artinya tesis ini
menggunakan 2(dua) pendekatan sekaligus normatif dan empirik. Teori
yang digunakan adalah teori bekerjanya hukum , teori the living law dan
nilai keadilan. Kesimpulan dari data yang diperoleh dianalisis secara
kualitatif.
Dari penelitian yang dilakukan diperoleh beberapa temuan bahwa
perjanjian bagi hasil tanah pertanian di Desa Wanguharja berlangsung
menggunakan hukum kebiasaan/adat secara tidak tertulis , karena
memberikan rasa nyaman yang didasarkan pada rasa percaya dan
keinginan untuk saling tolong menolong. Proses yang tidak rumit serta
keterbatasan biaya. Sehingga UU no 2 tahun 1960 tidak efektif digunakan
di Desa Wanguharja, mereka merasa bahwa perjanjian bagi hasil yang
mengacu pada UU no 2 tahun 1960 terlalu rumit. Perjanjian yang dibuat
tidak tertulis menyebabkan kekuatan hukumnya tidak kuat.
Dari temuan-temuan tersebut diatas diajukan beberapa
rekomendasi yakni pertama untuk dapat melaksanakan UU No. 2 tahun
1960 dengan baik perlu adanya sosialisasi kembali dari Pemerintah
bukan hanya kepada masyarakat sebagai Adriset (sasaran) tapi kepada
pihak-pihak terkait yakni aparat Kecamatan dan Desa. Dan kedua,
hendaknya Pemerintah melakukan pembaharuan mengenai peraturan
tersebut sesuai dengan kebutuhan dan perkembangan zaman untuk lebih
menjamin peningkatan taraf hidup masyarakat
Being-in-the-world-with: Presence Meets Social And Cognitive Neuroscience
In this chapter we will discuss the concepts of “presence” (Inner Presence) and “social presence” (Co-presence) within a cognitive and ecological perspective. Specifically, we claim that the concepts of “presence” and “social presence” are the possible links between self, action, communication and culture. In the first section we will provide a capsule view of Heidegger’s work by examining the two main features of the Heideggerian concept of “being”: spatiality and “being with”. We argue that different visions from social and cognitive sciences – Situated Cognition, Embodied Cognition, Enactive Approach, Situated Simulation, Covert Imitation - and discoveries from neuroscience – Mirror and Canonical Neurons - have many contact points with this view. In particular, these data suggest that our conceptual system dynamically produces contextualized representations (simulations) that support grounded action in different situations. This is allowed by a common coding – the motor code – shared by perception, action and concepts. This common coding also allows the subject for natively recognizing actions done by other selves within the phenomenological contents. In this picture we argue that the role of presence and social presence is to allow the process of self-identification through the separation between “self” and “other,” and between “internal” and “external”. Finally, implications of this position for communication and media studies are discussed by way of conclusion
The Composite Higgs and Light Resonance Connection
Weinberg sum-rules have been used in the past to successfully predict the
electromagnetic contribution to the charged-pion mass as a function of the
meson masses. Following the same approach we calculate in the minimal composite
Higgs model (MCHM) the Higgs mass as a function of the fermionic resonance
masses. The simplicity of the method allows us to study several versions of the
MCHM and show that a Higgs with a mass around 125 GeV requires, quite
generically, fermionic resonances below the TeV, and therefore accessible at
the LHC. We also examine the couplings of the Higgs to the SM fermions and
calculate their deviation from the SM value.Comment: Version to be published in JHE
Towards the Ultimate SM Fit to Close in on Higgs Physics
With the discovery of the Higgs at the LHC, experiments have finally
addressed all aspects of the Standard Model (SM). At this stage, it is
important to understand which windows for beyond the SM (BSM) physics are still
open, and which are instead tightly closed. We address this question by
parametrizing BSM effects with dimension-six operators and performing a global
fit to the SM. We separate operators into different groups constrained at
different levels, and provide independent bounds on their Wilson coefficients
taking into account only the relevant experiments. Our analysis allows to
assert in a model-independent way where BSM effects can appear in Higgs
physics. In particular, we show that deviations from the SM in the differential
distributions of h->Vff are related to other observables, such as triple
gauge-boson couplings, and are then already constrained by present data. On the
contrary, BR(h-> Z+gamma) can still hide large deviations from the SM.Comment: 20 pages, 5 figures, v2: typos corrected. JHEP versio
Bernardino Ramazzini, three hundred years after his death, Padua (Italy), October 18th, 2014
open2noThe year 2014 has marked the tercentenary from the death of Bernardino Ramazzini (1633-1714), universally credited as the founder of Occupational Health (5, 9, 10, 11). Indeed, the renowned physician died on November 5th 1714 in Padua, where he had been appointed as Professor of Practical Medicine at the local prestigious University from the year 1700. To commemorate this anniversary, the professors of Occupational Health of the University of Padua, the Italian Society of Occupational Health and Industrial Hygiene (SocietĂ Italiana di Medicina del Lavoro eIgiene Industriale, SIMLII), the International Commission on Occupational Health (ICOH) and the University of Padua organized a conference in the wonderful location of Palazzo Bo (Main Hall) under the patronage of the Padua Municipality, the Workers' Compensation Authority (INAIL), the Venetian Region and the Societas Internationalis Historiae MedicinaopenRiva, Michele Augusto; Zampieri, FabioRiva, Michele Augusto; Zampieri, Fabi
