The entangled multi-level responses of Mytilus galloprovincialis (Lamarck, 1819) to environmental stressors as detected by an integrated approach.

Anthropogenic pressure adds up and interacts with the effects of climate change with a varying magnitude and potential changes depend on species' Life History (LH) traits, local environmental conditions and co-occurrence of several stressors. Stressors exert negative effects on marine biota when acting as a single factor, but the effects may be amplified when more than one stressor work in combination, producing interacting effects on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. The impairment of individual functional traits (FT) leads to strong rebounds on LH traits and this may have ecological consequences.

The importance of thermal history: costs and benefits of heat exposure in a tropical, rocky shore oyster.

Although thermal performance is widely recognised to be pivotal in determining species' distributions, assessment of this performance is often based on laboratory-acclimated individuals, neglecting their proximate thermal history. The thermal history of a species sums the evolutionary history and, importantly, the thermal events recently experienced by individuals, including short-term acclimation to environmental variations. Thermal history is perhaps of greatest importance for species inhabiting thermally challenging environments and therefore assumed to be living close to their thermal limits, such as in the tropics.

The obsessive persecution: illness or crime?

The risk of a psychiatric treatment of Stalking can be avoided by starting to examinate socio-cultural aspects in which the phenomenon of stalking and violent behavior develop. The results of research programs and study in psychiatry are closely related to the study of the dynamics of socio-environmental factors that often act as contributing factors. It is certain that stalking is a disease of relationship, communication and emotional dependence.

Psychosis and migration: does a correlation exist?

The mental health of migrants is considered today one of the major problems of individual and public health. Unlike other European countries, such as England and France, where migration is linked to a colonial past, Italy has only recently found itself faced with a tumultuous transformation of identity, becoming from a country of emigration, an immigration country. In light of all this, this work stems from the need to shed light on the relationship between social integration and development of psychiatric disorders in migrants, with particular attention to the correlation between migration and psychotic pathology.

The clinical interview and its psychological needs.

The interest in the study of communication in real social contexts characterized, for several decades now, numerous researches conducted in theoretical frameworks and different disciplines. Communication is at the heart of everyday life, is present in every environment of human life, in every social group, and is the element of the plot of the relationship between people. It is characterized by a substantial condition of simplicity in regard to our relationship life everyday and distinguishes the possibilities we have to interact with others.
