Abstract:
L'ipermodernitŕ avanza col suo carico di flussi e luoghi, storie e Storia, pericoli e opportunitŕ. Il tessuto sociale in dialogo con queste dimensioni sta ripensando nei fatti l'idea stessa di confine e presto dovrŕ mettere mano anche all'idea di comunitŕ da tempo dissolta ed evoluta. In questo numero monografico della rivista affronteremo daunache ai piů parrŕ inattesa. La rappresentazione proposta attraverso sei saggi č quella del paesaggio di San Marino coniugata al futuro attraverso lo sguardo di esperti o ricercatori che, attraversando liberamente sia le frontiere tra saperi e specialismi sia i confini fisici e mentali, porta una visione insolita che č di impegno, studio, ricerca ma che dialoga con la complessitŕ e le parti sociali. In queste pagine si coglie l'invito a guardare di nuovo il cielo, con il luccichio dell'intelligenza, della passione, della conoscenza e con alcune proposte per una nuova saggezza, in una nuova era.

Abstract:
L'autore descrive un caso clinico di un adolescente autistico seguito in un centro di riabilitazione. Il funzionamento psichico del paziente non permette di giocare con il suo analista perché mancano la capacità simbolica e l'incontro relazionale in uno spazio potenziale. Per il paziente la relazione è vissuta come pericolosa, evitata e tenuta a distanza attraverso l'esercizio di un marcato controllo. Inizialmente il paziente è impegnato in un'attività solitaria che ha una doppia funzione: di autodifesa e di autocostruzione, necessarie per la propria sopravvivenza. Il sostegno silenzioso dell'analista permette il passaggio a una prima apertura relazionale, la condivisione di storie. Le storie hanno dapprima un carattere sensoriale, contraddistinto dal suono della voce e il dondolio del lettino, per iniziare ad acquisire un senso. La continuità e ritmicità sensoriale creano le basi per una prima forma di continuità dell'essere, il paziente inizia a riconoscere la presenza dell'oggetto e questa apertura crea le condizioni per la definizione di un'attività sempre più condivisa, dove l'esclusività del carattere sensoriale si indebolisce ed è possibile rintracciare i prodromi di significati più articolari. Il lavoro analitico è stato contraddistinto dalla costruzione dei rudimenti psichici, dalla definizione dei confini mentali e dalla tolleranza della vitalità relazionale, per poter iniziare a giocare con i propri pensieri. Si delinea sempre più il passaggio da un'attività solitaria e sensoriale al poter giocare "insieme".

Abstract:
The need to confine and restrain psychotic patients at the turn of the last century saw the building of a few large asylums which soon became overcrowded with the growth of the population. These asylums were the only service available to the mentally ill until 1959 when the trend to decentralise began with the building of general hospital psychiatric units.

Abstract:
Antoine-Marie Chambeyron (1797–1851) was a disciple of Jean-Etienne Esquirol (1772–1840) that history forgot, undoubtedly because he made no original contribution to psychiatric nosography. In 1827, his interest in the medical-legal status of the insane led him to translate into French and annotate the first medical-legal psychiatric treatise ever published, which was the work of the German philosopher Johann Christoph Hoffbauer (1766–1827). His translation played a role in shaping the French Law of 1838, the first piece of modern legislation aimed at protecting the rights of mental patients and limiting the State’s power to confine them arbitrarily. Chambeyron is among the least-cited contributors to the prestigious work of nineteenth-century French alienists.

Abstract:
IntroductionThe new coronavirus (COVID-19) is being a threat to global health. Pregnancy is considered a state of vulnerability to mental health and can be even greater if they are facing the current pandemia.ObjectivesWithin this framework, we wanted to inquire about the state of mental health, and more specifically, about depression, during pregnancy during pandemia COVID-19 and their opinion of the health team∙s professionals that controls pregnancy and how they are involved in the assessment of their mental health status. Also know her fears and uncertainties about the virus and its possible consequences (complications during pregnancy, childbirth or confinement at home, possible contact with COVID-19 positive patients).MethodsA cross-sectional study was carried out that includes 73 pregnant women from Spain, during September 2020, through an anonymous, voluntary and multiple response type online survey which included questions about socio demographic aspects and the Beck Depression Inventory.ResultsThe average age was 32 years. 90.41% were with a partner or married. The results of Beck’s questionnaire: 24.65% have moderate/severe depression. 25.65% had or had thought about consulting a mental health professional, 90.41% considered that professionals had not asked about their mental health during pregnancy. 98.89% reported fear of becoming infected and having to confine themselves at home and 97.26% reported fear of get COVID and affect the health of the unborn baby.ConclusionsCOVID-19 represents a huge challenge for pregnant women’s mental health. The Development and implementation of mental health service, skilled and aware of this area is crucial, for this vulnerable population.

Abstract:
201/2012
La questione inerente il progetto di recupero del Porto Vecchio di Trieste, uno dei siti di maggior pregio storico-architettonico della zona costiera italiana, da almeno 30 anni rappresenta la cartina di tornasole dello stato della città intera, sotto il profilo politico, sociale ed economico. Trieste, da sempre una città considerata laboratorio etnico, politico e sociale dagli osservatori qualificati, in realtà racchiude in sé due anime contrapposte che si confrontano: una aperta e cosmopolita, l’altra misantropa ed impaurita, amante di muri e confini. Oggi più che mai questo duello risulta esiziale per le prospettive future di una città ubicata nel cuore dell’Europa del terzo millennio, in costante calo demografico, con l’età media degli abitanti in continua crescita, in preda ad una sorta di lenta ma inesorabile decadenza. L’occasione di analizzare il progetto di recupero del Porto Vecchio assume rilevanza anche sotto il profilo psicologico e sociale, in una vicenda che continua a sortire i suoi effetti più deleteri, dove i confini politici e geografici sono stati sostituiti da quelli mentali, invisibili, ma fortemente presenti negli abitanti di questa città. All’interno di questa danza macabra giocata sulle spoglie di quella che viene definita “città proibita”, si muovono i protagonisti istituzionali, politici ed amministrativi, ma anche e soprattutto i cittadini, i quali vengono interpellati attraverso un sondaggio che in 5 sezioni riassume i concetti ritenuti principali ai fini della ricerca: il rapporto con la città di Trieste, l’atteggiamento nei confronti dei politici e degli amministratori, la presenza del Punto Franco, l’opinione sul progetto di recupero e sulla destinazione del Porto Vecchio, l’influenza dei media e del web. La visione dicotomica di una città dalle due anime contrapposte, trova conferma anche nelle diverse interviste realizzate con gli attori e i testimoni qualificati. Il quadro complessivo che si ricava attraverso l’analisi dei risultati, è utile a confermare le ipotesi di partenza, ossia l’importanza del sito in questione e la sua rappresentatività in chiave politica, economica e sociale, per quello che sarà il futuro di Trieste, in un processo in continuo divenire nel quale le geometrie variabili e la trasversalità degli schieramenti, uniti alla non soluzione dei problemi strutturali, sembrano mantenere sospesa la collocazione temporale della città e a rimandare, in maniera quasi compiaciuta, qualsiasi decisione.

Abstract:
This essay is the result of an ethnographic research on organizational practices carried out in five mental health departments in the Veneto region. Based on a narrative style, the analysis focuses on the relational dynamics between the different actors who participate in the activities aiming at socially re-habilitating people with mental health problems (theatrical sessions, sport activities, etc.). The thesis highlights the processes of sociation shaped by these practices while conveying autonomy and dependence: it explores the dynamics people use to mark boundaries, make them porous, or experience the risk of interactions where, at least temporarily, the fear of contamination is suspended. In this perspective, the social construction of the categories of “madness” and “normality” is analysed as well. Furthermore, by combining the micro observation of interactions with the meso level of the analysed organizational contexts, the study explores the dynamics which separate and connect the mental health services and the local communities where they operate. The adopted theoretical perspectives – in particular the combination between simmelian/batesonian approaches and ritual interaction theories – enable to highlight the processes that shape the differences through interactions, thus continuously building and re-building the premises of social living.
Il presente lavoro è frutto di una ricerca etnografica che ha esplorato alcune particolari pratiche organizzative di cinque dipartimenti per la salute mentale in Veneto. Utilizzando uno stile narrativo, l’analisi si concentra sulle dinamiche relazionali tra i diversi soggetti che partecipano alle attività mirate alla ri-abilitazione alla vita sociale delle persone con disagio psichico (gruppi teatrali, pratiche sportive, etc.). Mostrando i processi di sociazione che prendono forma in queste pratiche che veicolano autonomia e dipendenza, si esplorano le dinamiche attraverso cui i soggetti tracciano confini, li rendono porosi o sperimentano il rischio di interazioni in cui, almeno temporaneamente, la paura della contaminazione viene messa tra parentesi. In questa prospettiva viene anche analizzata la costruzione sociale delle categorie di “pazzia” e “normalità”. Coniugando inoltre le osservazioni micro delle interazioni con le dimensioni meso dei contesti organizzativi studiati, l’analisi rende conto delle dinamiche che separano e connettono le organizzazioni per la salute mentale e le comunità locali in cui esse sono inserite. Le prospettive teoriche utilizzate – in particolare coniugando quelle simmeliane e batesoniane con le teorie dei rituali dell’interazione – mettono in evidenza i processi attraverso cui le differenze prendono forma nell’interazione, costruendo e ricostruendo continuamente i presupposti del vivere sociale.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine whether cognitive-behavioral therapy could be effective in alleviating depression in mildly mentally retarded or borderline intelligence individuals. It was hoped this would prove to be a viable alternative or adjunct to medical interventions in treating depression with this population. Subjects participated in one of two cognitive-behavioral groups for 12 weeks. Two other treatments (two exercise and two structured, talk-oriented groups) served as control groups; these group members had the same daily routine as individuals in the treatment group. Control group subjects were also administered the same pre- and post-test. Seventy-three subjects were referred to participate, all on a volunteer basis. Subjects resided at the Stockton Developmental Center. All subjects were at the Center involuntarily, with 39 percent committed to the Center due to penal code violations. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was used as a pre-screening device, and subjects scoring in the clinical ranges of depression on the BDI were included in the study. Fifty-eight subjects met pre-screening criteria and were included. Based on BDI scores, subjects were assigned to one of three ranges of depression specified for the BDI. Subjects in each range were then matched on BDI scores and randomly assigned to the treatment groups. The pre- and post-test measure was the Emotional Problems Scales, which include both a personality inventory with questions answered by each individual and a behavior rating scale answered by the individual's primary counselor. Scores on depression and related scales were examined through the multivariate analysis of variance procedure. Forty-nine subjects were included in the final statistical analysis. There was no significant finding across groups for a decrease in depression or for other variables. No treatment proved more effective than any other. An examination of subject characteristics for those demonstrating the highest levels of improvement following treatment found that subjects with scores initially in the extremely severe range on depression were most likely to evidence change in a positive direction. Those who demonstrated improvement in the cognitive-behavioral groups tended to have IQ's over 62.

Abstract:
Background: The human ability to adapt to extreme environments is fascinating. Research into this adaptation has been lacking in Arctic isolated teams because it has concentrated on Antarctic teams. The hazards of the poles often confine the researchers indoors with their colleagues, reducing their privacy. This deployment also limits their contact with loved ones at home. Subsequently, over the course of polar night, rates of anxiety, depression, irritability and sleep disturbance increase (Suedfeld & Palinkas, 2008). Often, the teams complain of cognitive impairments. The High Arctic’s distinctive feature is the polar bear. The presence of bears requires Arctic research station teams to handle fire arms for their personal safety. It also means that fire arms – which are highly restricted in the Antarctic – are ever-present and easily accessible at Arctic stations. This poses a unique psychological challenge for these teams which has not been well-researched. Methodology: This thesis is an original contribution to science in that it employs a mixed-methods approach combining phenomenological interviews, cognitive testing and mental health assessment via questionnaires with a team spending a year at the Polish Polar Station, Hornsund, Svalbard. The participants were ten of the eleven winter team members who spent the year between July 2015 and June 2016 at Hornsund (“Explorers”) and an age-/gender-/education-matched control group (“Controls”). They filled in the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised and the Profile of Mood States-Brief Version in July, September, January, April and June of that year. Cognitive testing was completed in September, January and June; it comprised the Figural Learning and Memory Test, the Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART), the elevator tasks of the Test of Everyday Attention (TEA) and the Raven Standard Progressive Matrices. The interviews took place at the same time as the cognitive testing. Results: The results showed that the most stressful time reported in the questionnaires was April 2016, just after the winter isolation had ended and the sun had risen again. The Explorers reported little subjective complaints about their cognition but they performed near-ceiling on the TEA while scoring far below their Controls on the SART. This implies a dichotomy between sustained attention and inhibition in the Explorers. Their lived experiences were shaped by a struggle to adapt to the other team members rather than by struggling to adapt to the hazardous environment. The environment was perceived as awe-inspiring. Over time, the Explorers shifted their view of the team from informal colleagues to a family which they did not choose to be a member of and then, to friends. Unanimously, other people were seen as the most difficult aspect of the mission. Conclusions: This thesis provides unique insight into a non-Anglo-Saxon Arctic wintering team: the conclusions suggest that participants should receive social training to get along better and be emotionally prepared. The findings can be implemented by my research partner, the Institute of Geophysics (Warsaw) to better select and prepare their future expeditions to Hornsund. Some of the insights such as the nature of the interpersonal stressors may be applicable to space missions.

Abstract:
Identità sociale e territorio. Il Montalbano presenta un lavoro di ricerca sul rapporto tra abitanti e paesaggio nella campagna toscana. Il materiale raccolto si articola in testo, immagini e video in una rappresentazione polifonica delle basi territoriali dell'identità sociale del complesso collinare del Montalbano, che si estende tra Firenze, Empoli, Prato e Pistoia. Il tema dell'identità locale territoriale è trattato nelle sue varie articolazioni. Si analizza come è organizzata la relazione tra abitanti e loro territorio, prendendo in considerazione, in particolare, la memoria storica sedimentata nei documenti e nei ricordi degli anziani, e poi analizzando la percezione dei confini e dei luoghi di riferimento che contribuiscono a formare un'immagine mentale chiara e strutturata dell'area vasta del Montalbano. Si prendono inoltre in esame gli attori sociali che contribuiscono a fare il paesaggio: coloro che a vario grado, con azioni e micro-azioni quotidiane, continuamente riproducono quella complessa figura territoriale che tanto interesse suscita in chi vive o semplicemente attraversa il Montalbano.

Abstract:
In our culture, dominated by shallow rationality and reliance on the empirical, measur-able and demonstrable, the embodied, experiential and mental dimensions of design are supressed. Yet, there is an interest in the possibilities of neuroscience to reveal the roles of space, form, materiality, memory and imagery in our sensory experiences and mind. Neuroscience supports the mental objectives in design, which are in danger of being eliminated in the crudely rationalized, quantified and functionalized processes of de-sign. The task of architecture extends beyond its utilitarian purposes to the existential and mental sphere. Articulating lived existential space, architecture constitutes our sys-tem of externalized order, hierarchy, memory and meaning. Neuroscience will reveal how the external and internal, material and mental, utilitarian and poetic dimensions constitute an integrated existential experience. The interest in the mental dimensions of architecture will confirm the significance of intuition, empathy and imagination.

Abstract:
Abstract Scholars from diverse disciplines are increasingly concerned with the benefits generated by the practice of physical activity in the natural environment on individuals (Gomila Serra, 2014; Jirásek et al., 2016). This chapter attempts to shed light on the various scientific approaches that confirm this beneficial relationship. It also contributes to the holistic and integral conception of the human being, made up of different dimensions: physical, mental, emotional and social (Sandell et al., 2009; Borkowski, 2011). After an introductory approach to the relationship between outdoor sports and the integral development of their participants, an empirical study is shown. A five-day Nordic skiing camp is used to evaluate the effects of this practice on the individuals and on the group.

Abstract:
This chapter reflects on the importance of the historical narrative of mental illness, arguing that Western countries have sought new ways to confine the mentally ill in the post-asylum era, namely through the effects of stigma and medicalization. The walls are invisible, when once they were physical. The chapter outlines how health and illness can be understood as socially constructed illustrating how mental health has been constructed uniquely across cultures and over time. To understand this process more fully, it is necessary to consider the history of madness, a story of numerous social flashpoints. The trajectories of two primary mental health narratives are charted in this chapter. The authors argue that these narratives have played, and continue to play, an important role in the social construction of mental illness. These narratives are “confinement” and “individual responsibility.” Drawing on the work of Michel Foucault and Roy Porter, the authors describe how Western culture has come to consider the mentally ill as a distinct, abnormal other.

Abstract:
This chapter reflects on the importance of the historical narrative of mental illness, arguing that Western countries have sought new ways to confine the mentally ill in the post-asylum era, namely through the effects of stigma and medicalization. The walls are invisible, when once they were physical. The chapter outlines how health and illness can be understood as socially constructed illustrating how mental health has been constructed uniquely across cultures and over time. To understand this process more fully, it is necessary to consider the history of madness, a story of numerous social flashpoints. The trajectories of two primary mental health narratives are charted in this chapter. The authors argue that these narratives have played, and continue to play, an important role in the social construction of mental illness. These narratives are “confinement” and “individual responsibility.” Drawing on the work of Michel Foucault and Roy Porter, the authors describe how Western culture has come to consider the mentally ill as a distinct, abnormal other.

Abstract:
It wasn't until I had a profound personal experience with mental illness in my family that I started covering psychiatry and psychology. In the late 19905, my son, Alex, was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. A few years later, my daughter, Alicia, began suffering from repeated bouts of severe depression. Even after they became ill, I resisted turning my reporting to mental health. But as I continued to experience the suffering that these illnesses can cause, I finally succumbed. If I was going to help my children, I needed to learn a lot more about psychiatry, both research and treatment. With a background covering research, I could have confined my reporting to published studies and conferences, the bread-and-butter of science coverage. But I quickly realized that by taking that approach, I would be getting only a small piece of the story. For one thing, research in the behavioral sciences is, as I had always suspected, at a rather primitive stage. Researchers know far more about the heart, the kidneys, and tumor cells than they do about the brain. That's understandable; the brain is a far more complex organ. The scandal, however, is that what is known about the brain is rarely taught to psychiatrists. “Most of the more advanced training for psychiatric residents is really apprenticeship training in which brain science plays little or no part,” write the Harvard psychiatrist J. Allan Hobson and the writer Jonathan A. Leonard in their book, Out of Its Mind: Psychiatry in Crisis (2002). “The brain science knowledge of many practicing psychiatrists remains mostly informal or even anecdotal, leaving psychotherapy and psychopharmacology separated, isolated, and diminished at a time when brain science has the ability to nourish and combine them in an empowering fashion.” The message to reporters is that if we are to understand psychiatry, psychology, and mental illness, and write capably about them, we must do more than peruse the scientific journals and attend the neuroscience meetings. We need to get out there in the trenches, by which I mean the homes and the minds and hearts of the families who are suffering from mental illness.

Abstract:
Specialist forensic mental health (fmh) services are for people with serious mental disorders and grave offending behaviour who tend to be rejected from mainstream services. Although often triggered by single high profile cases, these specialist services are among the best planned and commissioned services in psychiatry, founded in evidence of need, risk and efficacy of interventions. They are grounded in a multidisciplinary clinical perspective and often have integrated academic units. They interface both with other clinical services and with the criminal justice service. Good relationships with the local community are vital for establishment and growth. Secure psychiatric hospitals have two overarching aims: improving health and delivering safety for patients and others. In secure hospitals, patients’ autonomy is limited in a number of important ways: they may not be allowed to leave the hospital at all, may be confined to a particular area within the hospital, and/or treatment may be enforced. Although these restrictions are undoubtedly at least partly in the interests of the patients themselves, they are commonly also in the interests of others. This chapter looks at service structure, including planning principles, principles of assessment, admission criteria, the pathway to treatment, and finally assessing outcomes.

Abstract:
While traditional theories of cognition tend to conceive of mental capacities as disembodied or merely supervenient on brain states, in recent decades the insight has spread that mental processes cannot be confined to activities inside the skull alone. The paradigm of enactive embodiment endeavors to overcome the limitations of traditional cognitive science by reconceiving the cognizer as an embodied being and cognition as enactive. According to a well-known early definition, cognition depends on “the kinds of experience that come from having a body with various sensorimotor capacities” (...

Abstract:
Organization of knowledge is needed to help doctors learn and recall information in their clinical practice. Diagnostic constructs help, providing prototypes against which doctors can diagnose patient conditions. They then seek to confirm or disprove this diagnosis by searching for relevant information. Attached to these diagnostic constructs are information such as causes, prognosis, and treatment. Diagnostic constructs are provisional and should be changed if information suggests they are incorrect. They also aid communication between professionals for teaching and research, and have important social functions such as providing access to healthcare, determining eligibility for welfare, offering administrative and payment functions, and collecting health statistics. Some social effects of diagnostic constructs can be harmful, such as stigma. Diagnostic constructs are included in broad diagnostic formulations including relevant clinical information.

Abstract:
Thermography-based physiological measurement is an active re-search topic. Using such contact-free approach can be particularly helpful for detecting pilots’ mental state in operational settings. In particular, thermal infrared imaging of the face is a powerful and non-invasive tool that enables rapid and automatic analysis of changes in regional facial blood flow. This blood flow changes index sympathetic activity and are measured by capturing thermal imprints of particular facial regions such as nose, forehead, or around the eyes. Although several studies suggest a relationship between cognitive workload and facial thermoregulation profile, evidence about this link has not been yet sufficiently investigated and infrared imaging has yet to prove its importance in the cognitive workload detection scenarios. In this work, we investigated how thermal measures can allow continuous assessment of cognitive workload variations of pilots undergoing simulated flight tasks, and compare these measures with the heart rate, a more established marker,. The approach has been evaluated with 20 participants in flight simulator, and cognitive workload was modulated by the difficulty of two landing scenarios. Participants also performed a resting task (also called cool off). Thermal imprints did not varied significantly with landing difficulty. However, we found that the nose tip and nose area were significantly colder during the flight scenario vs the rest period (signal slope). Further analysis is needed to confirm that the thermal measures could identify more fine grained mental workload variations in a flight simulator setting.

Abstract:
The latest years have seen an increasing interest in the topic of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the challenges it is facing, and the recent advances it has achieved, e.g., intelligent personal assistants. Differently from the past, where research on AI was mainly confined in research labs, the topic is now attracting interest from a wider audience, including policy-makers, information technology companies, and philosophers. Alas, these advances have also raised a number of concerns on AI’s social, economic, and legal impact. Hence, the definition of design principles and automated methods to support transparent intelligent machine deliberation is highly desirable. Argumentation is important for handling conflicting beliefs, assumptions, opinions, goals, and many other mental attitudes. Argumentation pervades human intelligent behavior, and I believe that it is a mandatory element to conceive autonomous artificial machines that can exploit argumentation models and tools in the cognitive tasks they are required to carry out. Results in this area will allow reducing the gap between humans and machines towards a good AI hybrid society.

Abstract:
With the COVID-19 pandemic, we were confined to the home environment as a measure to prevent the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. In this context, the elderly, being from the risk group, went up to their homes and were often forced to abandon their daily activities, which are great allies in maintaining their autonomy and independence. However, social and physical isolation, especially among the elderly, is a serious public health concern and can lead to increased risk of cardiovascular, neurocognitive and mental health problems. In this context, the present study aims to promote the use of teleworkshops with the elderly, during the isolation imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, in order to investigate theimpacts generated by this tool in the routine of the elderly. A field study with a qualitative approach will be developed with 20 elderly people, both genders, who are fulfilling social isolation. Initially, online training will be conducted through videos recorded by researchers on how to participate in teleworkshops. These, in turn, will take place twice a week, for one months, always with the guidance of a researcher. Before the teleworkshops, there will be pre-test questionnaires and, after the post-test questionnaires, together with a geriatric depression scale containing 15 questions to assess the participants' cognitive development. Pre-test and post-test questionnaires will be prepared on the GoogleForms platform, with questions related to sociodemographic characteristics and teleworkshops, and will be made available online via WhatsApp. The data will be through SPSS software. Cognitive stimulation activities with characteristics of games and playfulness are objectives that have been used with the intention of seeking to maintain the elderly's abilities, in their cognitive health and socialization as factors that guarantee their quality of life. Thus, the present study aims to contribute to the promotion of the maintenance of mental and cognitive health of the elderly, which was granted due to a COVID-19 pandemic in the city of Campos dos Goytacazes / RJ.

Abstract:
Research in brain-computer interfaces have focused primarily on motor imagery tasks such as those involving movement of a cursor or other objects on a computer screen. In such applications, it is important to detect when the user is interested in moving an object and when the user is not active in this task. This paper evaluates the steady state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) as a feedback mechanism to confirm the mental state of the user during motor imagery. These potentials are evoked when a subject looks at a flashing objects of interest. Four different experiments are conducted in this paper. Subjects are asked to imagine the movement of flashing object in a given direction. If the subject is involved in this task, the SSVEP signal will be detectable in the visual cortex and therefore the motor imagery task is confirmed. During the experiment, EEG signal is recorded at 4 locations near visual cortex. Using a weighting scheme, the best combination of the recorded signal is selected to evaluate the presence of flashing frequency. The experimental result shows that the SSVEP can be detected even in complex motor imagery of flickering objects. The detection rate of 85% is achieved while the refreshing time for SSVEP feedback is set to 0.5 seconds.

Ao fazer julgamentos, as pessoas confiam em heurísticas ou "atalhos" mentais que podem levar a boas soluções. Em determinadas situações, no entanto, essas técnicas de simplificação podem causar inconsistências e promover vieses cognitivos. Em se tratando de iniciativas de melhoria de processos de software, é importante que as práticas, técnicas, métodos e ferramentas sugeridos no processo ofereçam mecanismos para apoiar a tomada de decisão, minimizando os efeitos negativos de tais vieses. Este artigo se propõe, apoiado em uma metodologia qualitativa aplicada em duas empresas de TI no Brasil e em Portugal, a analisar oito vieses, a saber: ancoragem, efeito da mera exposição, viés retrospectivo, efeito halo, falácia do planejamento, falácia do custo afundado, viés da disponibilidade, e efeito da lei de Parkinson. Através de entrevistas semi-estruturadas com gerentes de projeto (GPs), foram identificadas causas raízes para cada viés, assim como métodos e ferramentas utilizados para minimizar seus efeitos negativos, os quais foram consolidados em um mapa de conceitos. Práticas ágeis e atividades de gestão do conhecimento foram citados como essenciais em processos de software tendo em vista à tomada de melhores decisões.

Abstract:
Current social requirements concerning the living environment tend to be more and more related to the natural values of the urban space. People are aware of the fact that contact with nature is extremely important for of mental and physical health. Therefore, the quality of the natural environment around the place of living influences the quality of life. The studies confirm that the presence of natural elements in the urban space may expressly affect the improvement of this quality. An example of a city with high quality of life is represented by Olsztyn, the capital of the Warmian- Masurian Province, located within the borders of the functional area of the Green Lungs of Poland, which is characterized by the particularly valuable quality of its natural environment. This is confirmed by the results of the social Diagnosis dated 2015, which put Olsztyn in 4th place among the largest Polish cities in the ranking concerning the quality of life. It is also influenced by the quality of the natural environment, which in the case of Olsztyn is manifested in a large number of green areas and standing bodies of water located within the administrative borders of the city. The aim of this paper is to compare the quality of the living environment of individual boroughs of Olsztyn conditioned by the natural elements (greenery, bodies of water, air, noise) in relation to the received public opinion polling results.

Abstract:
Chronic diseases affect the quality of life of families of sick people on the level of their physical, economic, mental, and subjective well-being. The aim of the paper is two-folded: a) to determine the economic and social consequences of the child's illness for families and b) to identify the factors that may influence the origin and development of asthma in the child population. The data come from a survey we carried out on a sample of parents with children who are treated in the Children's Speleotherapy Sanatorium in Ostrov near Macocha (a total sample of 201 respondents). We checked for any association by use of correlation analysis, Kruskal-⁠Wallis and Chi-square test. More than half of the families reported that the child's illness negatively influences the involvement in the labour market, families show an increase in financial costs associated with rehab and a financial loss during the care of a sick child. One third of the children’s patients has problems with missing classes at school, the average absence is 8 weeks in the school year, and every tenth child has difficulty in establishing social contacts. Analyses of external factors in relation to asthma show the effect of education on smoking in the family, but did not confirm the effect of age and mother's education on the birth weight of the child or the type of birth. From the results, it is clear that asthma adversely affects the quality of life of the asthmatic child and his family. The disease is thus associated with social and psychological consequences, which limits the performance at school for children and work activities for parents and other activities. All in one, it has not only health, but also socio-economic consequences.

Abstract:
In aviation, poor vigilance has been cited as an important factor of incidents and accidents. Consequently, many studies are conducted in order to detect the level of vigilance and thus reduce the risk of occurrence of low task engagement or low awareness. Being able to enhance someone’s level of vigilance could be useful in many fields, such as aviation or the navy, in particular when a particularly high level of awareness is required (critical maneuvers, occurrence of warning alarms etc.). With the evolution of the knowledge about brain waves, it seems now possible to influence cortical activity by inducing specific wave patterns, using stimuli such as binaural sounds or visual flashes. In this study, we assessed the possibility of artificially increasing the level of vigilance by stimulating brain activity using flashing visual stimuli. Twelve participants performed a vigilance test (Mackworth clock test) while visual flashing stimuli were displayed around the task on the screen border, and at different flashing frequencies (0 Hz, 4 Hz, 8 Hz, 40 Hz). Brain waves were recorded continuously with a 32-channel electroencephalogram (EEG). Results revealed that reaction times during the vigilance task were shorter with the 40 Hz flashing stimuli. However, subjective mental workload was increased by the presence of each type of visual flash. With the 40 Hz flash, gamma activity (roughly oscillating to the frequency of the 40 Hz flash) in the visual cortex was much higher than with the other flashing frequencies. Interestingly, this increased gamma activity was extended to the frontal regions. In addition, the theta/beta ratio was generally higher on frontal electrodes with lower flashing frequency (4 Hz) than with faster flashing frequencies (8 Hz and 40 Hz). It suggests that the vigilance level was poorer with lower flashing frequency. Indeed, higher theta/beta ratio has been associated with lower vigilance levels and mind wandering episodes. Despite these rather encouraging results, replications of such studies are needed to confirm that visual flashing stimuli can modulate vigilance level and elicit specific brain waves, in particular in regions outside the visual cortex.

Abstract:
In obstetrics ultrasound (US) training, the learner’s ability to mentally build a three-dimensional (3D) map of the fetus from a two-dimensional (2D) US image represents a major challenge. Pre-defined anatomical planes, known as standard planes (SPs), retain a sig- nificant clinical relevance. Their correct acquisition re- quires extensive experience due to the complexity of SP definition, their high intra- and low inter-class variation. Previous work proposed automating the extraction of SPs from data acquired with a simplified protocol rather than assisting operators in acquiring typical freehand 2D SPs. These methods, based on traditional machine learn- ing (ML) approaches [1] or convolutional neural network (CNN) [2], are mostly confined to selection or classifi- cation of SPs. Automatic approaches for the localisation of planes in 3D volumes are based either on supervised learning (SL) [3] or reinforcement learning (RL) [4]. The first ones, even though effective, can mainly localize one single plane at a time or are tailored to just one organ. Also, they attempt to learn a mapping from high- dimensional volumetric data to low-dimensional abstract features directly, making the training difficult. In the second case, most of the available solutions employing deep reinforcement learning (DRL) are based on robotic navigation and are used at the point of care. To the best of our knowledge, there are no available training systems to guide the sonographers in freehand obstetric US. Currently, training in obstetric US is focused on SPs recognition. The autonomous probe navigation towards SPs remains a highly challenging task due to the need to interpret variable and complex images and their spatial relationship. Our work aims to develop a real-time training platform to guide inexperienced sonographers in acquiring proper obstetric US images that could be potentially deployed for existing US machines.
