The Experimental Women: An Introduction
Experimental cinema, as well as experimental video practices, have always been art forms in which women have excelled. Yet, if cinema studies have devoted research – although only recently – to women involved in narrative and commercial films, as directors, actresses, screenwriters, as well in other roles of cinema industry, the history of women’s Western experimental audio-visual production is still little explored and would benefit from being retraced and framed in a wider historical and theoretical perspective. This special issue of Cinéma&Cie is therefore aimed at tracing experiences of women’s practices at the intersection of cinema and the arts by intertwining a theoretical and historical approach through the analysis of cases of studies from the mid-century up to the present time
Trend of Correlations between Psychological Symptoms and Socioeconomic Inequalities among Italian Adolescents: Cross-Sectional Study from 2006 to 2018 in Tuscany Region
Abstract: Adolescence is a critical moment in life; people become individuals, create new relationships,
develop social skills and learn behaviours that they will use for the rest of their lives. During
this phase, adolescents establish patterns of behaviour that can protect their health. This study aims
to 1. assess the presence of psychological disorders in adolescents of both genders, 2. determine
their relation to socio-economic differences based on the Family Affluence Scale (FAS), and 3. assess
trends from 2006 to 2018. Data were collected from the Italian Health Behaviour in School-aged Children
survey given to a representative sample of Tuscan adolescents aged 11–15 years. Participants
(n. 12,550) filled out questionnaires to assess whether psychological symptoms such as feeling low,
irritability, nervousness, or sleeping difficulties manifested weekly or more often over the past six
months. For the study we utilized a cross-sectional survey method and linear regression to examine
the association between psychological symptoms (dependent variable measured on an interval scale
(0–16)), gender and FAS. We conducted similar analyses using logistic regressions for each of the four
symptoms. An increase in psychological symptoms in both genders was revealed between 2006 and
2018, with a statistically significant presence in females: 0.29 (95% Confidence Interval [CI], 0.17 to
0.41), 1.43 (95% CI, 1.37 to 1.48) and 1.43 (95% CI, 1.34 to 1.52) in low-, medium- and high-affluence
families, respectively; whereas males presented 0.14 (95% CI, 0.01 to 0.27), 0.71 (95% CI, 0.65 to 0.77)
and 0.31 (95% CI, 0.22 to 0.39), respectively. The probability of a predictive episode of psychological
symptoms (feeling low, irritability, nervousness, sleeping difficulties) occurring weekly, or more,
often was greatly increased in females of all socioeconomic classes. These findings suggest that the
increase in psychological disorders in adolescents should be considered a public health problem and
further investigated through longitudinal studies and continuous monitoring of health trends

Il Fenomeno delle Dipendenze nella Regione Liguria. Anno 2010
-Il Report analizza il fenomeno delle dipendenze nella regione Liguria. La descrizione del fenomeno si sviluppa intorno all\u27analisi degli indicatori individuati dall\u27Osservatorio Europeo delle Dipendenze di Lisbona (OEDT): 1-uso di sostanze nella popolazione generale (questo indicatore va a rilevare i comportamenti nei confronti di alcol e sostanze psicoattive da parte della popolazione generale); 2-prevalenza d\u27uso problematico delle sostanze psicoattive; 3-domanda di trattamento degli utilizzatori di sostanze; 4-mortalit? degli utilizzatori di sostanze; 5-malattie infettive. Altri due importanti indicatori che si stanno sviluppando, e che vengono qui illustrati, sono l\u27analisi delle Schede di Dimissione Ospedaliera (SDO) e gli indicatori relativi alle conseguenza sociali dell\u27uso di droghe (criminalit? droga correlata). Inoltre sono state applicate diverse metodologie standard di stima sia per quantificare la quota parte sconosciuta di utilizzatori di sostanze che non afferiscono ai servizi, sia per identificarne alcune caratteristiche

CoNLL 2017 Shared Task : Multilingual Parsing from Raw Text to Universal Dependencies
The Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning (CoNLL) features a shared task, in which participants train and test their learning systems on the same data sets. In 2017, one of two tasks was devoted to learning dependency parsers for a large number of languages, in a real world setting without any gold-standard annotation on input. All test sets followed a unified annotation scheme, namely that of Universal Dependencies. In this paper, we define the task and evaluation methodology, describe data preparation, report and analyze the main results, and provide a brief categorization of the different approaches of the participating systems.Peer reviewe
