Prevenire i comportamenti antisociali e la radicalizzazione dei giovani attraverso Internet. L’esperienza del Progetto europeo “DIVE IN”

The paper reflects on the importance of preventing antisocial behavior and radicalization in young people, understanding the signs of extremism and how to interpret them in an attempt to determine how to counter these phenomena spread through the Internet and social media. In this perspective, as recommended in some documents issued by the European Institutions, we highlight the need to strengthen the specific skills of education professionals needed to be able to detect potentially dangerous behavior in young people and prevent and combat radicalization. In this context, the European project “DIVE IN – Preventing violent radicalisation among young individuals in Europe by innovative training approaches” 2019-2021, is presented, aimed at the prevention of violent radicalisation in young people through the implementation of a blended learning training course addressed to teachers, educators, social workers.

Inappropriate spending of budgetary funds as a criminal form of behavior and dysfunction of the modern economy

The article is devoted to the study of a very complex economic and legal phenomenon —inappropriate spending of budget funds. The article presents economic and legal arguments substantiating the need to counteract this kind of delinquent-criminal behavior as a dysfunction of the modern economy. The substantiation of the social and legal conditionality of the criminalization of misuse of budget funds is proposed. A high level of blanketness of the disposition of Article 2851 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The most controversial examples of misappropriation of budgetary funds are demonstrated, within the framework of which the most frequent problems of qualification of this kind of socially dangerous behavior arise.

Correction to Taylor & Pileggi (2021)

In the article “Perioperative Delirium/Agitation Associated With the Use of Anesthetics and/or Adjunct Agents: A Study of Patient Behaviors, Injuries, and Interventions to Mitigate Risk” by Matthew A. Taylor, PhD, and William Pileggi, CRNA, MSN, MAJ, USAR/AN (Ret.) (Patient Safety, December 2021, Vol. 3, No. 4, pp 16–27. https://doi.org/10.33940/med/2021.12.2), there was an error in the Discussion section. The second sentence of paragraph two of the Discussion section should have read, “For example, during the intra- and postoperative periods the patients had dangerous behavior themes described in 75% and 74% of the event reports, respectively, compared with only 25% in the preoperative events.” The online versions of this article have been corrected.

Dangerous Behavior and Intractable Axial Skeletal Pain in Performance Horses: A Possible Role for Ganglioneuritis (14 Cases; 2014–2019)

Introduction: Dangerous behavior is considered an undesired trait, often attributed to poor training or bad-tempered horses. Unfortunately, horses with progressive signs of dangerous behavior are often euthanized due to concerns for rider safety and limitations in performance. However, this dangerous behavior may actually originate from chronic axial skeleton pain. This case series describes the medical histories and clinical presentations of horses presented for performance limitations and dangerous behavior judged to be related to intractable axial skeleton pain.Material and Methods: Fourteen horses that developed severe performance limitations resulting in euthanasia were included. A complete spinal examination and behavioral responses, gait and neurologic evaluations, diagnostic imaging, gross pathologic and histopathologic examinations of the axial skeleton were performed on all horses. A tentative diagnosis of the affected spinal region was formulated using medical records, owner and trainer complaints, and antemortem examination findings. The selected spinal regions were further examined with gross and histopathologic evaluations of the associated osseous, soft tissue and neural tissues.Results: Ten horses showed severe behavioral responses during the myofascial and mobilization examinations. Based on an aggregate evaluation, the cervicothoracic and lumbosacral regions were the most common regions believed to be the primary area of concern. All horses had moderate to severe ganglionitis present at multiple vertebral levels. Subdural and epidural hemorrhage or hematomas were a common finding (71%) in the cervicothoracic and lumbosacral regions.Discussion: In this case series, neuropathic (i.e., structural) pain was judged to be the underlying cause of dangerous behavior. The dorsal root ganglia (DRG) serve an important role in relaying peripheral sensory information to the central nervous system and ganglionitis has been associated with neuropathic pain syndromes. This series highlights the need for more in-depth understanding of pain behavior and its clinical presentation and progression in chronic or severely affected horses. Limitations of the study are the lack of age-matched control DRG and the incomplete collection of DRG from every vertebral level of interest.

Results of Behavioral Evaluations Predict Length of Stay for Shelter Dogs

Most animal shelters conduct behavioral evaluations before making dogs available for adoption. However, little information exists on whether behaviors displayed during these assessments predict a dog’s length of stay at the shelter. We reviewed nearly 5 years of records from 975 dogs released for adoption at a New York shelter to see whether behaviors shown during their evaluation predicted length of stay. For most tests and subtests, the prevalence of concerning and especially dangerous behaviors was low. Nevertheless, dogs’ scores on some tests or subtests—food guarding and meeting another dog—predicted length of stay at the shelter. Dogs evaluated as showing dangerous behavior had longer lengths of stay than dogs evaluated as showing either concerning behavior or no concerning behavior; the latter two groups did not differ from one another in length of stay. The most likely explanation for the relationships found between behavior during the evaluation and length of stay at the shelter is that dogs with challenging behaviors had smaller pools of potential adopters. Understanding the relationships between performance on behavioral evaluations and length of stay may inform shelter management of canine populations and also help identify dogs requiring special adoption efforts to avoid long shelter stays.

A Fish Story: Hot Water and Dangerous Behavior!

Climate change is warming up water all over the world, including in the San Francisco Estuary. This has caused fish who live there to change their behavior in unexpected ways. All animals, including fish, have regular and specialized behaviors that help them to survive. Fish swim, by themselves or in groups, to move to safer habitats, to find food or mates, or just to avoid danger. Scientists worry that changes to these behaviors brought on by warming water will make estuaries less safe for rare and endangered fish like the delta smelt. In the San Francisco Estuary, we found that warmer waters caused delta smelt to swim faster and further away from their neighbors, and to be eaten more often by predators. All these changes could hurt the ability of delta smelt to survive in the future.

CORRELATION BETWEEN EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE TENDENCY TO SOCIALLY DANGEROUS BEHAVIOR IN ADOLESCENT STUDENTS

The article is devoted to the study of the correlation between various types of socially dangerous behavior of students and their emotional intelligence in adolescence. The relevance of this study depends on the growing problem of ensuring security in educational institutions, which is confirmed by the annual tragic events committed by students in Russian schools and colleges. The purpose of the study is to test the correlation between the propensity of adolescents for various types of socially dangerous behavior and their emotional intelligence. The theoretical basis of the study was the modern data of Russian and foreign scientists on the connection of aggressive, deviant, victim behavior with various manifestations of emotional intelligence. The empirical study was conducted in 2020 to test the assumption that a low level of emotional intelligence development is a predictor of various forms of deviant behavior of adolescent students. The sample consisted of 793 adolescents at the age of 13-15. The method of organizing the study is a mass screening examination. Data collection was conducted using the inventory “Propensity to deviant behavior” by Leus E.V. and Solovyov A.G. and the “Questionnaire on emotional intellect Emin” by Lusin D.V. The obtained results allowed us to characterize the propensity of adolescents of the studied sample to the main types of socially dangerous behavior (delinquent, aggressive, self-injurious, etc.) and showed that more than a third of students have a low level of emotional intelligence. A reliable feedback relationship has been established between the tendency to deviant behavior and emotional intelligence: the lower its level in adolescent students, the higher their tendency to the studied types of socially dangerous behavior.

Terms of civil liability: are general theoretic approach

The article is sanctified to the questions of civil liability on the legislation of Ukraine. Taking these theoretical positions for basis, it is possible to assert that the normative founding of legal responsibility envisages the presence of legal norms, that determine possible and necessary behavior of the subject of legal relationships, embargo on certain behavior, and system of approvals and legal binding overs that determine the process of realization of responsibility. It is marked that traditionally a range of problems of responsibility was of interest such fields of law, as civil, administrative, ecological, domestic. Summarizing the above-mentioned in the article, it is possible to establish, that legal responsibility, including civil legal in whatever form she came forward always is direct influence on an offender. The substantial line of responsibility - it so to say perceptible bears by the face of negative consequences of offence in form privations of the personal, organizational or property order, regardless of what her measures will be realized: imprisonment, compensation of harm or something other. It stipulates the orientation of responsibility actually on the face of offender, stipulates penalty, punitive character of legal responsibility keywords: legal responsibility, offence, guilt, founding, inflicted harm, socially dangerous behavior. Thus, it costs to consider the composition of civil offence, that includes for itself the presence of the inflicted harm, unlegality of behavior of malefactor, causal connection between behavior of person and harmful result, guilt of malefactor the condition of civil responsibility. Thus, it costs consider that illegal there can be actions that violate the norms of legislation and equitable rights of citizens, and illegal - only those actions that violate the norm of law. Keywords: legal responsibility, offence, guilt, founding, inflicted harm, socially dangerous behavior.

On the Occurrence of Dangerous Problem Behavior during Functional Analysis: An Evaluation of 30 Applications

Functional analyses are often conducted by behavior analysts to understand the environmental variables contributing to an individual’s problem behavior to better inform treatment implementation. While functional analyses are integral for designing function-based interventions, they often arrange contingencies to evoke and reinforce dangerous problem behavior. In Study 1 we reviewed 22 functional analyses with open-contingency classes including non-dangerous topographies of problem behavior and we found that participants were more likely to exhibit the non-dangerous behavior in 82% of the applications. We then conducted a single-subject comparison of closed and open-contingency classes with four additional participants in Study 2. Our results suggest that the functional analyses with the open-contingency class reduced the likelihood of observing dangerous problem behavior.

Crime and Its Elements: Issues of Doctrinal Assessment

The paper examines the doctrinal problems of crime as the central institution of criminal law. The essence and content of the concept of "crime" and its features are revealed from ontological positions: an act, social danger, wrongfulness, guilt and punishability. A differentiated approach to assessing the wrongfulness and social danger of an act determines the emergence of many concepts of crime and its characteristic elements (features). The legal concept of a crime is based on the fact that the act reflects and characterizes the crime and it is the act that has a set of objective and subjective features. The author outlines some trends in the development of the doctrine of crime in the context of the global instrumentalization of criminal law and the unification of modern legal systems. The main conclusion is that the concept of a crime should be formulated through the definition of social danger and unlawfulness (a crime is socially dangerous and unlawful behavior). It is the combination of public danger and wrongfulness that forms the concept of a crime and the rest of the features are derivatives. Socially dangerous behavior contains a set of objective and subjective features of wrongfulness, which are directly enshrined in the criminal law, which also provides for an element of punishment as a measure of state influence.
