Vittorio, un pacifico libraio, e Massimo, un prete di provincia un po’ originale, sono trascinati in una spirale di orrore e violenza dalle perfide macchinazioni ordite da una nefasta “Anima Oscura”. Efferati delitti e avvenimenti sovrannaturali mineranno le esistenze dei due protagonisti trascinandoli fino al limite del baratro che conduce alla follia. Con l’aiuto di una coppia di medium e di uno spirito benigno, Massimo e Vittorio ingaggeranno una strenua lotta per tentare di non soccombere. Il romanzo utilizza elementi tipici della letteratura di genere per gettare uno sguardo disincantato sulla grave crisi, sia economica sia sociale, che attanaglia il nostro Paese.
Designed as a contribution to contrastive linguistics, the present volume brings up-to-date the comparison of German with its closest neighbour, Dutch, and other Germanic relatives like English, Afrikaans, and the Scandinavian languages. It takes its inspiration from the idea of a "Germanic Sandwich", i.e. the hypothesis that sets of genetically related languages diverge in systematic ways in diverse domains of the linguistic system. Its contributions set out to test this approach against new phenomena or data from synchronic, diachronic and, for the first time in a Sandwich-related volume, psycholinguistic perspectives. With topics ranging from nickname formation to the IPP (aka 'Ersatzinfi...

Questo primo romanzo "Il paese delle vedove bianche" tratta della Sicilia degli anni ottanta-novanta, in cui si svolgono le vicende di donne abbandonate dai mariti, emigrati all'estero, e costrette dalla società a subire i soprusi di mafiosi e politici corrotti. Protagonista di questo episodio è la romena Erika, abbandonata dal marito emigrato all'estero e rimasta sola e senza un soldo. L'emblematico e fantasioso paese di Metadoro viene esaminato con occhi critici e melanconici. La corruzione amministrativa dei politici e dei potenti viene messa in luce dal maresciallo Augusto Caruso che, alla fine, indagando su un omicidio di un politico, viene condizionato nelle azioni e nelle scelte dagli avvenimenti che lo travolgono e lo deludono profondamente.
Un reportage in prima persona, ricco di rivelazioni, retroscena, testimonianze inedite, in un percorso che prende il via dai dintorni del Vaticano tra vizi privati e pubbliche virtù. Un racconto in presa diretta, di grande forza narrativa, resoconto di confidenze e incontri segreti, a volte dolenti a volte sconcertanti. Un'inchiesta esclusiva, che rifiuta lo scandalismo fine a se stesso ma sceglie comunque di riportare le storie più intime e dolorose come quelle più difficili e scabrose, di provare a capire, di non voltare lo sguardo.

This book is the second of two volumes that bring together the works presented at the congress "Contributions of Psychology to COVID-19", organized by the Interamerican Society of Psychology in 2020. This was one of the first virtual international meetings on psychology and COVID-19 in the world and brought together researchers and professionals from South, Central and North America in a single online event. The content of both volumes includes many of the first issues addressed by researchers, scholars, and practitioners across the Americas at the start of the pandemic – before vaccines, before knowledge of treatment and impact, before our worlds and daily lives were forever changed.

The emerging precision medicine approach aims to tailor disease prevention and treatment to each patient on the basis of individual variability, environmental factors and lifestyle. Fundamental achievements in the last few decades have converged to offer nowadays the compelling opportunity to move towards this innovative approach: i) unprecedented improvements in disease modeling in silico, in vitro and in vivo; ii) acquisition of a wide range of biomedical information combined with the development of computational toolsets for flexible and integrative analyses of multi-assay datasets. Our deeper understanding of oncogenic mechanisms has finally begun to have a crucial impact on clinical decisions at several steps, from cancer prevention and diagnosis to therapeutic intervention. However, precision oncology still encounters several unresolved hurdles including tumour heterogeneity and recurrence as well as unexplained drug resistance and lack of effective ways to monitor response to therapeutic treatments. Notably, limitations in biomedical research regulation and governance represent additional debatable issues that need careful consideration.
