Robot, Did You Read My Mind? Modelling Human Mental States to Facilitate Transparency and Mitigate False Beliefs in Human–Robot Collaboration
Providing a robot with the capabilities of understanding and effectively adapting its behaviour based on human mental states is a critical challenge in Human–Robot Interaction, since it can significantly improve the quality of interaction between humans and robots. In this work, we investigate whether considering human mental states in the decision-making process of a robot improves the transparency of its behaviours and mitigates potential human…
Deception in HRI and Its Implications: A Systematic Review
Background. People commonly use deception to gain advantages for themselves and their significant ones, such as with children, for educational purposes, or for protecting someone else feelings. As robots increasingly are being used in various human-centered environments, experts in robotics and social sciences are trying to adapt similar deceptive techniques to social robots, such as in assistive and service applications. However, robots’ ability…
Brillo: Personalised HRI with a Bartender Robot
The BRILLO (Bartending robot for interactive long-lasting operations) project aims to create an autonomous robotic bartender that can interact with customers while accomplishing its bartending tasks. In such a scenario, people’s novelty effect connected to the use of an attractive technology is destined to wear off and, consequently, negatively affects the success of the service robotics application. For this reason, providing personalised natura…

A Two-Tier GAN Architecture for Conditioned Expressions Synthesis on Categorical Emotions
Emotions are an effective communication mode during human–human and human–robot interactions. However, while humans can easily understand other people’s emotions, and they are able to show emotions with natural facial expressions, robot-simulated emotions still represent an open challenge also due to a lack of naturalness and variety of possible expressions. In this direction, we present a two-tier Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) architectu…
Motor Development of Children in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq: Parent Survey
The actual literature highlights the importance of the socio-cultural context in the development of children. However, there is a lack of specific evidence about the middle East, especially regarding the development of Kurdish children who are living in a post-war scenario, in a country which is experiencing continuous instability due to the different crises. The main aim of this study is to identify the features of the motor development of Kurdi…

Covid-19 Impact in the Italian Reception System for Migrants during the Nationwide Lockdown: A National Observational Study
From the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, attention was raised to protect vulnerable populations, including migrants and refugees (M&R), with the claim to leave no one behind in the pandemic response. In particular, concern was expressed in M&R's reception centres since several COVID-19 outbreaks had been observed in Europe. Our study aimed to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 in the Italian reception system in the first pandemic wave in terms o…
Inaction on Lead Despite the Relevant Knowledge: Predictors, Covariates, and Outreach Implications
Testing residential soil and paint for lead provides actionable information. By showing where and how much lead exists on the residence, it allows one to quantify risk and determine the best ways to reduce exposure along with the corresponding health and financial costs. For these reasons, several federal and state programs offer outreach to audiences on the benefits of testing residential soil and paint for lead. Not all individuals who know abo…
Geographic Inequalities in Breast Cancer in Italy: Trend Analysis of Mortality and Risk Factors
We calculated time trends of standardised mortality rates and risk factors for breast cancer (BC) from 1990 to 2016 for all women resident in Italy. The age-standardised mortality rate in Italy decreased from 4.2 in 1990 to 3.2 (×100,000) in 2016. While participation in organised screening programmes and age-standardised fertility rates decreased in Italy, screening invitation coverage and mammography uptake, the prevalence of women who breastfed…
The Secret Life of Robots: Perspectives and Challenges for Robot’s Behaviours During Non-interactive Tasks
Sociodemographic Characteristics Associated with Harmful Use of Alcohol Among Economically and Socially Disadvantaged Immigrant Patients in Italy
In many contexts, individuals with lower socioeconomic status, especially immigrants, have a higher burden of negative alcohol-related consequences and a higher probability of receiving a psychiatric diagnosis. This study aimed at exploring sociodemographic and clinical characteristics associated with harmful use of alcohol (HUA) among immigrant patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Rome (Italy) on a sample of 330 immigrant patients …
The geography and economics of forgoing medical examinations or therapeutic treatments in Italy during the economic crisis
In Italy, the number of individuals who have forgone medical examinations or treatments for economic reasons is one of the highest in Europe. During the global economic crisis of 2008, the restrictive policies concerning access to healthcare and the quality of these services, which differs widely throughout the country, may have accentuated the territorial differences in unmet needs, thereby penalizing the more disadvantaged segments of the popul…
The variation in the health status of immigrants and Italians during the global crisis and the role of socioeconomic factors
Our findings support the hypothesis that economic global crisis could have negatively affected health status, particularly mental health, of Italians and immigrants. Furthermore, results suggest socioeconomic inequalities increase, in economic resources availability dimension. In a context of public health resources' limitation due to financial crisis, policy decision makers and health service managers must face the challenge of equity in health
Determinantes do comportamento alimentar: Uma revisão com enfoque na família
O comportamento alimentar ocupa atualmente um papel central na prevenção e no tratamento de doenças. A alimentação durante a infância, ao mesmo tempo em que é importante para o crescimento e desenvolvimento, pode também representar um dos principais fatores de prevenção de algumas doenças na fase adulta. Freqüentemente a família, os fatores sociais e os ambientais podem influenciar o padrão alimentar das crianças. O objetivo desta revisão foi abo…
