Exploring social exclusion through immersive virtual reality
A synergistic approach combining invasive and non-invasive compositional analysis techniques on Italian maiolica tin glazes from Montelupo Fiorentino
This study presents a multi-analytical approach to the study of tin glazes of Italian maiolica aiming to optimise a detailed characterisation of these materials comparing and combining invasive and non-invasive methodologies. First, the application of ion beam analysis (IBA) on tin-glazed ceramics is tested as a non-invasive alternative to scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), which is considered the benchmar…
Unveiling ancient maritime secrets through X-ray computed tomography (CT)
In August 1961 the remains of a shipwreck, dating back to the early 6th century BCE, were located at the Island of Giglio in the Bay of Campese (Tuscany, Italy), announcing a major archaeological discovery. Meticulous excavations carried out in the early 1980s partly brought to light both the exceptionally diverse cargo and structural remnants of the vessel. Owing to the extremely heterogeneous composition of the load of international scope, rang…
Learning Landscape in Gamification
In education, the term “gamification” refers to of the use of game-design elements and gaming experiences in the learning processes to enhance learners’ motivation and engagement. Despite researchers’ efforts to evaluate the impact of gamification in educational settings, several methodological drawbacks are still present. Indeed, the number of studies with high methodological rigor is reduced and, consequently, so are the reliability of results.…

Lonely online
Digital media addiction limits face-to-face communication, which can have negative effects on the subjective wellbeing of individuals. However, the effect of digital media addiction on subjective wellbeing has not been adequately explored, and it is recommended in the literature that the role of mediating variables related to social life should be investigated. These include loneliness and satisfaction with relationships. The current study invest…

This study analyses the role of social support in Internet use, focusing on when it leads to problematic or functional use in male and female adolescents. Three research hypotheses state: (1) when offline social support is low, online social support leads to a problematic Internet use; (2) when offline social support is high, online social support leads to a functional Internet use; (3) significant differences between male and female adolescents …
Measurement invariance of the Facebook intrusion questionnaire across 25 countries
Facebook is one of the most popular social networking sites. However, Facebook intrusion or addiction is a growing concern as it involves an excessive attachment to Facebook, which disrupts daily functioning. To date, few studies have examined whether cross‐cultural differences in the measurement of Facebook addiction exist. The aim of this study was to investigate the cross‐cultural validity and measurement invariance of the Facebook Intrusion Q…
Geology of the Toundoute Region (South Morocco)
A new geological map representing the southern leading edge of Central High Atlas (Toundoute, South Morocco) updates the stratigraphic architecture of a Lower Jurassic-Cretaceous succession including marine carbonates and terrestrial clastics. Integrated facies and structural analyses outline a marked syn-tectonic control on depositional patterns since the Early Jurassic, as documented by geological maps of adjacent sectors of the Central High At…
How technology use is changing adolescents’ behaviors and their social, physical, and cognitive development
Artificial intelligence and human behavioral development
Despite the significant emphasis placed on incorporating 21st century skills into the educational framework, particularly at the primary level, recent scholarly works indicate considerable variation in the implementation of these skills across different countries and regions, suggesting a demand for further research specifically focusing on primary education. The indications of the Digicomp framework 1 and 21st-century skills in Europe have outli…
The globalizability of temporal discounting
Economic inequality is associated with preferences for smaller, immediate gains over larger, delayed ones. Such temporal discounting may feed into rising global inequality, yet it is unclear whether it is a function of choice preferences or norms, or rather the absence of sufficient resources for immediate needs. It is also not clear whether these reflect true differences in choice patterns between income groups. We tested temporal discounting an…
Measurement invariance of the Phubbing Scale across 20 countries
Mobile phone addiction is a robust phenomenon observed throughout the world. The social aspect of mobile phone use is crucial; therefore, phubbing is a part of the mobile phone addiction phenomenon. Phubbing is defined as ignoring an interlocutor by glancing at one's mobile phone during a face‐to‐face conversation. The main aim of this study was to investigate how the Phubbing Scale (containing 10 items) might vary across countries, and between g…

Networked Flow in Creative Collaboration
The recent model of Networked flow (NF) mapped out factors underlying optimal creative collaboration in blended spaces (physical and digital). NF conceives creativity as an evolving network bridging material and symbolic resources of the creative collaboration process at both inter and the intra-group levels. First, this model posits that optimal group creativity is characterized by highest levels of the experiences of flow and social presence. S…

Relations Between Facebook Intrusion, Internet Addiction, Life Satisfaction, and Self-Esteem
With the increasing popularity of new media, problems involving its excessive use have emerged. The main aim of the study was to analyze the associations between Facebook intrusion, Internet addiction, self-esteem, and life satisfaction in Italy and the USA. We administered the Facebook Intrusion Scale, Internet Addiction Test, Self-Esteem Scale, and Satisfaction with Life Scale. The participants in the online study were N = 555 Italian and Ameri…
Laboratory study of the sulfation of carbonate stones through SWIR hyperspectral investigation
Paleoenvironmental context of the early Neanderthals of Poggetti Vecchi for the late middle Pleistocene of Central Italy
Work on thermal pools at Poggetti Vecchi in Grosseto, Italy, exposed an up to 3-meter-thick succession of seven sedimentary units. Unit 2 in the lower portion of the succession contained vertebrate bones, mostly of the straight-tusked elephant, Palaeoloxodon antiquus , commingled with stone, bone, and wooden tools. Thermal carbonates overlying Unit 2 are radiometrically dated to the latter part of the middle Pleistocene. This time span indicates …
Approaching the study of rock “monuments”. The archaeological site of Pietralba (Upper Tiber Valley, Arezzo, Italy)
Late Pleistocene relic Ultisols and Alfisols in an alluvial fan complex in coastal Tuscany
Modelling the failure mechanisms of Michelangelo's David through small-scale centrifuge experiments
Palaeoenvironmental signals in ancient urban setting
A case study of an archaeological section in the pre-Islamic town of Sumhuram (third century bc–fifth century ad; Dhofar, S Oman) is presented. Sedimentological and palynological data have been integrated with the aim of finding signals of natural processes within an urban context. Two main types of deposits alternate in the section: anthropogenic (AD) and waterlain (WD). The presence of laminated sediments within the WD deposits, suggesting shor…
