Online support groups for young women with self-harming behaviours: understanding the elaborative functions of the experience

This trend has produced an increase in studies and online psychological interventions. As of today, however, online support groups for self-harmers are still under-examined. Therefore, within a European project, we collected the discussions of four groups for young people with self-harming behaviours and analysed them by using a software for automatic qualitative text analysis. In particular, we focused on the themes discussed, and how these were discursively organized by the members in order to comprehend the psychodynamic functions promoted by each group. Four main themes and three sense vectors emerged. Online support groups with young women who self-harm produce some elaborative functions: the container of anguish, the emotion-regulation and the meaning-making. Clinical implications of online support groups for young people with self-harmi...

Model-Based Slippage Estimation to Enhance Planetary Rover Localization with Wheel Odometry

Applied Sciences, 2021

Future missions will be designed to study harsh environments that are characterized by rough terrains and extreme conditions. An accurate knowledge of the trajectory of planetary rovers is fundamental to accomplish the scientific goals of these missions. This paper presents a method to improve rover localization through the processing of wheel odometry (WO) and inertial measurement unit (IMU) data only. By accurately defining the dynamic model of both a rover’s wheels and the terrain, we provide a model-based estimate of the wheel slippage to correct the WO measurements. Numerical simulations are carried out to better understand the evolution of the rover’s trajectory across different terrain types and to determine the benefits of the proposed WO correction method.

Apoptotic cell death in canine hair follicle

Histology and histopathology, 2005

Apoptotic cell death is an essential homeostatic mechanism involved in the control of cellular tu... more Apoptotic cell death is an essential homeostatic mechanism involved in the control of cellular turnover in a variety of adult tissues. Cytoplasmic and nuclear condensation morphologically define this process whose biochemical hallmark is extensive DNA fragmentation into discrete oligonucleosomic units. Hair follicle growth and regression has been shown to be correlated with apoptosis in humans, mice, rats and guinea pigs. The present study was carried out to evaluate its implication in canine hair biology in order to define the spatio-temporal relationship between apoptosis and the hair cycle in dogs. As assessed by terminal deoxy-nucleotidyl transferase-mediated d-UTP nick-end-labelling (TUNEL) and by basic histological and ultrastructural assays, apoptotic cells appeared both in the growing and in the regressing follicle epithelium showing the well characterized morphological features described in the previous relevant literature.

In different fields, the one of clinical psychology through the Non-suicidal Self-injury and the one of the art through the extreme form of Body art, will be reflected on the experience of the limit, moving from corporeal borders, that posthuman challenges.

Corpi, cicatrici e genere: l'autolesionismo in adolescenza dal virtuale al reale

Incisioni, tagli e bruciature comunicano la necessita di depositare sulla pelle emozioni indigerite, elementi grezzi non ancora alfabetizzati (Bion, 1962). I corpi femminili lesi esplodono nel web, frammentati e condivisi nei siti dedicati al tema, tra immagini di ferite e legami di sangue (Margherita e Gargiulo, 2014). Da un vertice psicoanalitico, sensibile alla prospettiva degli studi di genere, sono state esplorate le condotte autolesive in adolescenza, tanto nei contesti virtuali quanto in quelli reali, problematizzando sulla relazione che intercorre tra autolesionismo e genere femminile (Gargiul...

Narratives of Self-harm: the experience of young women through the qualitative analysis of blogs

From a psychodynamic perspective, this article aims at identifying the most prevalent topics shared in blogs written by young people who Self-harm, in order to understand their experiences of suffering. We performed a thematic analysis of 70 Italian blogs relating to Self-harming behaviours. From our analysis all the blogs were declined in the feminine. Four thematic clusters were found: troubled relationships with the Other; the hidden Self; loneliness, hate and guilt: the melancholic emotions; the Self-harming act. Some specific functions of Self-harm blogs emerged: they can be a mean for self-disclosure and for emotion regulation. They are also spaces where young women meet to share their pain and offer and find support. Clinical implication...

U n crescente numero di studi si sta interrogando sui possibili fattori di rischio e di protezione connessi all’esposizione e alla partecipazione a tali comunita virtuali. Il lavoro propone una lettura dei blog redatti in prima persona da autrici che si dichiarano autolesioniste attraverso un’interpretazione delle dimensioni culturali che si dispiegano nel contesto virtuale. Sono stati monitorati 34 blog italiani dedicati all’autolesionismo, i cui post, considerati come narrazioni, sono stati accorpati in un unico corpus testuale, analizzato mediante il software T-Lab (Lancia, 2004; 2008). Sono emersi quattro cluster tematici che sul piano fattoriale organizzano tre vettori di senso ( il dolore come elemento di aggregazione, il vuoto dell'altro, la dinamica di svelamento/mascheramento del limite ) . Anche se i corpi sono decostruiti, le identita disincarnate e le rela...

Numerical Simulations for Planetary Rovers Safe Navigation and LIDAR Based Localization

These vehicles are equipped with instrumentation and sensors that allow accomplishing in-situ operations. To increase their access capability to harsh environments, onboard systems are included to enable obstacle avoidance and slip prediction that represent fundamental functionalities for safe navigation. This work focuses on the implementation of a method that accurately reproduces the wheel-soil interaction and predicts rovers' performances in different scenarios (e.g., cloddy/drift terrain type, steep terrains). We implemented a 3D model of a rover to simulate its navigation with obstacles on the path. Our estimated trajectory is obtained through the Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) data processing, which enables the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM).

Cancer Blog Narratives: The Experience of Under-Fifty Women with Breast Cancer during Different Times after Diagnosis

This study aims at exploring the most prevalent topics in Italian cancer blogs of women who have received a breast cancer diagnosis before the age of 50, in order to understand their experience of illness and the characteristics of women’s narrations at different times after diagnosis (1 year, 2 years, 3 years). We collected the textual corpus of 4 Italian breast cancer blogs and performed a thematic analysis. Five themes resulted, which, after interpretation using factorial mapping, fall into 3 sense vectors: toward the thought of the experience; from the external to the internal world; breast cancer: from rigidity to mobility. The blog analysis allows to build a first step of the scientific knowledge about the traumatic specificity of this experience, showing a need for processing the emotions. This allow...
