La mobilit? autonoma dei bambini in Italia

The work performed has enabled data to be obtained on Italian children\u27s current level of independent mobility. The data reveal that children\u27s independent mobility rises with age with a significant increase at the time of the transfer from primary to secondary school (11 years old). In addition, it emerges that children and young people tend to overestimate their independence whilst parents tend to underestimate it.Il lavoro svolto ha consentito di acquisire dati sull\u27attuale livello di autonomia dei bambini italiani. Dai dati emerge che la mobilit? autonoma dei bambini aumenta con l\u27et? con un significativo incremento in corrispondenza del passaggio dalla scuola primaria alla secondaria (11 anni). Inoltre emerge che bambini e ragazzi tendono a sovrastimare la loro autonomia mentre i genitori tendono a sottostimarla

Community planning activities for rehabilitation projects in Italy. The positive case of the children participatory design on the area of Vergomasco landfill in Odolo, Brescia

Participatory planning methods are an essential tool for rebuilding the relationship between the inhabitants and their environment.This paper presents a successful participation process with children and the adult inhabitants of the small town of Odolo through which a landfill of inert waste was transformed in a park of 10 hectares with recreational facilities. Following the proposals of the children and the other stakeholders, the implementation of the park was carried out between the end of 2009 and the beginning of 2010. The paper also gives a short presentation of the outcomes of a qualitative evaluation of the process and its results, the park, done in September 2015.

Search for dark matter produced in association with bottom or top quarks in √s = 13 TeV pp collisions with the ATLAS detector

A search for weakly interacting massive particle dark matter produced in association with bottom or top quarks is presented. Final states containing third-generation quarks and miss- ing transverse momentum are considered. The analysis uses 36.1 fb−1 of proton–proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at √s = 13 TeV in 2015 and 2016. No significant excess of events above the estimated backgrounds is observed. The results are in- terpreted in the framework of simplified models of spin-0 dark-matter mediators. For colour- neutral spin-0 mediators produced in association with top quarks and decaying into a pair of dark-matter particles, mediator masses below 50 GeV are excluded assuming a dark-matter candidate mass of 1 GeV and unitary couplings. For scalar and pseudoscalar mediators produced in association with bottom quarks, the search sets limits on the production cross- section of 300 times the predicted rate for mediators with masses between 10 and 50 GeV and assuming a dark-matter mass of 1 GeV and unitary coupling. Constraints on colour- charged scalar simplified models are also presented. Assuming a dark-matter particle mass of 35 GeV, mediator particles with mass below 1.1 TeV are excluded for couplings yielding a dark-matter relic density consistent with measurements
