The Kanun is an important manifestation of Albanian consuetudinary law in force at a given historical moment. It is characterized by the absence of institutions or bodies set up to design and impose rules, norms or precepts that could maintain order and ensure that within the community, the associates can live and carry out their activities in observance of and compliance with the rules and precepts imposed by the State authorities. Active operation according to the Kanun rules is not only common among the populations settled in the mountains of Albania but also, and above all, in the context of Albanian criminality which, as is well known, has also spread to Italy, creating partnerships and cross-contaminations with Italian crime. The research was carried out mainly in Albania at the bodies and institutions responsible for dealing with and controlling crime in the nation, but also focuses on the issue of connections with, and influences on, Italian crime.

Interdisciplinary Department of Medicine, Section of Criminology and Forensic Psychiatry, University of Bari "Aldo Moro", Bari, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- Since 2015, Residencies for Execution of Security Measures (REMS) in Italy have treated dangerous offenders acquitted for mental disorders, primarily those with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) and personality disorders (PD).
- The study analyzed data from 528 REMS patients, revealing that the PD group had more females and substance abuse issues, while the SSD group often involved serious offenses like homicide.
- Findings suggest that patients with PD show more violent behavior in REMS, while SSD patients are treated with higher doses and combinations of antipsychotics, highlighting the need for tailored treatment approaches.
Role of turnover, downsizing, overtime and night shifts on workplace violence against healthcare workers: a seven-year ecological study.

December 2024
EPIMED Research Center, Department of Medicine and Surgery, University of Insubria, Varese, Italy.
Background: About one-third of workers identify organisational factors as contributors to workplace violence (WPV), but the associations between these factors and WPV have primarily been explored retrospectively and with measures of perceived organisational constraints, hence providing limited information for prevention. Therefore, we assessed whether objectively measured ward-level indicators of turnover, downsizing, overtime, and night shifts are associated with the occurrence of WPV and whether these associations vary by ward type.
Methods: We conducted an ecological study at a university hospital in northern Italy from 2016 to 2022, using wards as statistical unit (average: 230 wards per year).
