OCD, ONE DISORDER, VARIOUS EXISTENTIAL REALITIES: FROM “MICHAEL KOHLHAAS” TO “LA MIGLIOREOFFERTA”, PSYCHOPATHOLOGICAL CHANGES OVER A CENTURY
In thetransition from themodern to thepostmodern age, there has been a changein the Obsessive-Compulsive - Prone Style of
Personality, style that can lead to OCD.
In this paper we analyze, through literature and cinematographic art, some typical aspects of this style of personality and how
they changed over time: the impersonality of the set of references on the basis of which to fix the variability of one’s experience by
providing it with definite and certain meaning, the issue of one’s responsibility related to a failure in anticipation and a new aspect,
called “logical complacency” by the current scientific literature, in which the need of the set of references is contemporary with the
relationship with the others which embodies and personifies that reference system
HOW ARTWORKS CAN GATHER UNSPOKEN YET DEEPLY FELT EXPERIENCES. USING NARRATIVE LAB IN DAILY PSYCHIATRIC CENTER
In this paper I’m going to illustrate my experience related to the six month narrative laboratory with the psychiatric patients of
the Daily Psychiatric Center located in Rutigliano. This project originated from my own way of conceiving the concept of Psychiatric and Psychosocial Rehabilitation in terms of Therapeìa, that is in my view the regaining "sense and meaning" as the essence of rehabilitation therapy. My goal was to awaken thoughts, words, gestures, emotions in order to reconnect an interrupted dialogue with themselves and start an initial storytelling experience. By telling this new story the relationship between the Self, the Story and the Character is recreated so that freedom and life planning are generated again. In order to “gather unspoken yet deeply felt experiences” I used artworks extracted from the catalogue “tutti uguali, tutti diversi”; catalogue created during the awareness campaign and the fight against social stigma and social exclusion by Art, that the Center of Mental Health 3 – CSM 3 - in Troia (Puglia, Italy) held in 2007 in synergy with the School of Fine Art and with the Monuments and Fine Art Department
ART AS A MEANS OF ACCESSING OURSELVES. USING ART IN PSYCHOTHERAPY
Using art in psychotherapy could become an interesting instrument for the cure and the prevention of psychological and
psychiatric problems. This belongs to that trend that sees the mediation of art as having big potential to go beyond the spoken word. Everybody knows that our emotions, thoughts, feelings, and so on, are living in the body and speaking through the body, in fact the symbolic dimension (art, music, dance, painting and so on) reconfigures the experience of living. In this form of therapy we use Art as a means of accessing ourselves and opening ourselves up to the world. The forms of artistic mediation that we mainly describe in the paper are the basic elements of tango and performative theatrical technique (Theatre of the Oppressed and Physical Theatre). In the final part of this paper a series of images illustrate specific cases in which the method and its outcomes are described
Novel Perspectives on Due Process Symposium: Uncoupling Habeas Corpus and Due Process
This exploration concludes by finding that select elements of the Due Process Clause persist even during suspension and thus restrict otherwise forbidden Executive action. Part I overviews the scope of the Great Writ and the effect of its suspension. Part II details two conflicting views of the writ’s relationship with the constitutional demands of due process. Finally, Part III asserts that suspension quiets some facets of the Due Process Clause but does not entirely extinguish the right to procedural due process
THE PERSISTING SADNESS, AN INCLINATION TO BECOME EMOTIONAL: THE CASE OF INSPECTOR RICCIARDI GIFTED WITH THE CAPACITY TO FEEL PAIN
Through the analysis of “Luigi Alfredo Ricciardi” the main character of detective series by Maurizio De Giovanni, the structuring
of a normal melancholic constitution, which we term the depression-prone style of personality, is reconstructed

Compressing over-the counter markets. ECMI Working Paper No 11 12 Nov 2020.
Over-the-counter markets are at the centre of the global reform of the financial system. The authors of this paper show how the size and structure of these markets can undergo rapid and extensive changes when participants engage in portfolio compression, which is an optimisation technology that exploits multilateral netting opportunities. They find that tightly knit and concentrated trading structures, as featured by many large over-the-counter markets, are especially susceptible to reductions of notional amounts and network reconfiguration resulting from compression activities.
Using a unique transaction-level dataset on credit-default-swaps markets, they estimate reduction levels suggesting that the adoption of this technology can account for a large share of the historical development observed in these markets since the Global Financial Crisis. Finally, the authors test the effect of a mandate to centrally clear over the counter markets in terms of size and structure. When participants engage in both central clearing and portfolio compression with the clearinghouse, results show large netting failures if clearinghouses proliferate. Allowing for compression across clearinghouses by-and-large offsets this adverse effect
Photon sensitivity of superheated drop at room temperature
It has been reported so far that superheated drop detector made of R-12 at
room temperature are sensitive to neutrons yet insensitive to photons. This
property makes its use as one of the most useful neutron dosimeter. The photon
sensitivity of R12 at room temperature when exposed to 59.54kev photons
obtained from radioactive Am has been noted for the first time in our
laboratory. This discovery is important nt only from the point of view of basic
science but more important to the users of R12 in neutron dosimetry to take
note of this in assessing the neutron dose correctly.Comment: 3pages, 1 fig. Nuclear Instruments and Method A, 2000, (accepted
