I bisogni delle vittime del crimine: proposta per un modello esplicativo

Scopo di questo lavoro è proporre un modello di comprensione dei bisogni delle vittime che emergono nel primo approccio con le Forze dell’Ordine. In questo lavoro i bisogni verranno analizzati e correlati ai processi psicologici che li sottendono e favoriscono il loro emergere. Naturalmente, le reazioni delle vittime sono estremamente variabili e, per affrontare l’argomento in modo adeguato, è necessario comprendere che possono essere influenzate da un numero elevatissimo di fattori. La parte introduttiva della presente trattazione sarà pertanto dedicata all’importanza di comprendere le variabili coinvolte, anche con lo scopo di proporre una concettualizzazione della vulnerabilità delle vittime aperta e flessibile che includa fattori protettivi e fattori di rischio. In tale cornice verrà poi delineato un continuum di possibili reazioni delle vittime, che ad un estremo propone le più moderate e comuni risposte emotive, mentre all’altro estremo posiziona le reazioni postraumatiche. Al termine verrà illustrato il modo in cui il particolare stato mentale, che emerge nella vittima in conseguenza del reato, favorisca l’insorgere di alcuni bisogni fondamentali

Geodetic model of the 2016 Central Italy earthquake sequence inferred from InSAR and GPS data

We investigate a large geodetic data set of interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR)and GPS measurements to determine the source parameters for the three main shocks of the 2016Central Italy earthquake sequence on 24 August and 26 and 30 October (Mw6.1, 5.9, and 6.5,respectively). Our preferred model is consistent with the activation of four main coseismic asperitiesbelonging to the SW dipping normal fault system associated with the Mount Gorzano-Mount Vettore-Mount Bove alignment. Additional slip, equivalent to aMw~ 6.1–6.2 earthquake, on a secondary (1) NEdipping antithetic fault and/or (2) on a WNW dipping low-angle fault in the hanging wall of the mainsystem is required to better reproduce the complex deformation pattern associated with the greatestseismic event (theMw6.5 earthquake). The recognition of ancillary faults involved in the sequencesuggests a complex interaction in the activated crustal volume between the main normal faults and thesecondary structures and a partitioning of strain releas

A systematic review and meta-analysis of hepatitis E virus (HEV) in wild boars

This systematic review and meta-analysis summarize the available information on Hepatitis E virus (HEV) -specific antibody seroprevalence and HEV RNA prevalence in wild boar, one of the most abundant game species worldwide. A literature search (CAB Abstracts, Web of Science, Embase and Scopus) was performed to find relevant peer-reviewed works published during the period 1990–2020. A random-effect model was carried out to calculate the pooled HEV-specific antibody seroprevalence and HEV RNA prevalence estimates with 95% confidence intervals, and I2 statistic was used to assess the heterogeneity of the data. Values by subgroups were compared according to the geographical area, age class (≤ 12 months old and > 12 months old), and sample type (bile, faeces, liver, meat/muscle, serum). Sixty-nine publications were selected, with the majority of the studies from Southern Europe (n = 27). The pooled HEV-specific antibody seroprevalence in wild boar was 28% (CI95% 23–34) and the HEV RNA prevalence 8% (CI95% 6–10). The analysis highlighted a significant heterogeneity among the estimates from the included studies (I2 = 98% and I2 = 95% for HEV-specific antibody seroprevalence and viral prevalence respectively). The moderator analysis indicated a statistically significant difference (p-value = 0.03) for the HEV RNA prevalence according to the sample type, with the highest value in bile (17%, CI95% 9–27), followed by liver (10%, CI95% 7–14), serum (7%, CI95% 4–10), faeces (5%, CI95% 2–9), and meat/muscle (3%, CI95% 0.04–10). Finally, the HEV RNA prevalence in Europe (8.7, CI95% 6.7–11) was significantly (p-value = 0.04) higher than in Asia (4, CI95% 0.6–8). The analysis highlights the important role of wild boar in the epidemiology of HEV
