    Abstract Questo volume si inserisce nel discorso accademico e pubblico sullo studio del territorio con un contributo specifico: da un lato riporta in modo critico alcune esperienze di eccellenza, dall'altro offre approfonditi elementi di sfondo per comprendere il fenomeno nel suo complesso.La diffusione di nuove tecnologie e il mutevole scenario culturale e sociale ci obbligano a ripensare le tradizionali alleanze tra i soggetti presenti sul territorio (istituzioni, enti, privati...) per dare nuova forma ai servizi, al ruolo dei diversi attori, all'offerta formativa/creativa sia nei confronti dei ragazzi in età scolare, sia per i percorsi di formazione continua.Il libro descrive alcune esperienze che si sono sviluppate in un territorio specifico ovvero l'area Nord della città metropolitana di Milano, campo di studio privilegiato da diversi studiosi dell'Università degli Studi di Milano - Bicocca in quanto territorio di appartenenza. Analisi locali quindi, accompagnate da uno sguardo più esteso su fenomeni che interessano più in generale l'Italia, come il caso della Dote Lavoro o la diffusione di inedite collaborazioni di ricerca e promozione della cultura (ecomusei, Fablab...), e sul ruolo che l'educazione, nelle sue varie declinazioni, può giocare nella promozione di nuovi percorsi di sviluppo sociale ed economico.Il dialogo tra dimensione locale e nazionale attraversa tutto il volume e lo rende uno strumento versatile per lo studio dei percorsi di innovazione territoriale in contesti anche molto differenti, fornendo una serie di spunti di riflessione e di linee guida per pianificare interventi concreti

    Abstract Objective: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, burnout among healthcare workers has significantly increased. This study evaluated rates of burnout in neuropsychologists one year into the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Method: A survey invitation was sent across five neuropsychology-related listservs in April 2021. Burnout was assessed with the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI; Kristensen, T. S., Borritz, M., Villadsen, E., & Christensen, K. B. (2005). The Copenhagen Burnout Inventory: A new tool for the assessment of burnout. Work & Stress, 19 (3), 192-207) and differences in Personal, Work, and Client burnout scores were evaluated across patient population and work setting.
    Results: 57.3% and 51.5% of respondents (N = 130) endorsed moderate-to-high levels of personal and work-related burnout, respectively. In the Personal domain, respondents working with pediatric patients had higher mean scores and a higher proportion of respondents endorsed moderate-to-high levels of burnout.
    Conclusion: More than half of the survey respondents endorsed elevated levels of personal and work-related burnout. This is concerning as burnout is associated with personal challenges and diminished patient care. Potential organizational interventions are discussed.

    Abstract Objective: To establish, apply, and evaluate a computable phenotype for the recruitment of individuals with successful cognitive aging.
    Participants and methods: Interviews with 10 aging experts identified electronic health record (EHR)-available variables representing successful aging among individuals aged 85 years and older. On the basis of the identified variables, we developed a rule-based computable phenotype algorithm composed of 17 eligibility criteria. Starting September 1, 2019, we applied the computable phenotype algorithm to all living persons aged 85 years and older at the University of Florida Health, which identified 24,024 individuals. This sample was comprised of 13,841 (58%) women, 13,906 (58%) Whites, and 16,557 (69%) non-Hispanics. A priori permission to be contacted for research had been obtained for 11,898 individuals, of whom 470 responded to study announcements and 333 consented to evaluation. Then, we contacted those who consented to evaluate whether their cognitive and functional status clinically met out successful cognitive aging criteria of a modified Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status score of more than 27 and Geriatric Depression Scale of less than 6. The study was completed on December 31, 2022.
    Results: Of the 45% of living persons aged 85 years and older included in the University of Florida Health EHR database identified by the computable phenotype as successfully aged, approximately 4% of these responded to study announcements and 333 consented, of which 218 (65%) met successful cognitive aging criteria through direct evaluation.
    Conclusion: The study evaluated a computable phenotype algorithm for the recruitment of individuals for a successful aging study using large-scale EHRs. Our study provides proof of concept of using big data and informatics as aids for the recruitment of individuals for prospective cohort studies.

    Abstract Abstract Birds experience a sequence of critical events during their life cycle, and past events can subsequently determine future performance via carry‐over effects. Events during the non‐breeding season may influence breeding season phenology or productivity. Less is understood about how events during the breeding season affect individuals subsequently in their life cycle. Using stable carbon isotopes, we examined carry‐over effects throughout the annual cycle of prairie warblers (Setophaga discolor), a declining Nearctic–Neotropical migratory passerine bird. In drier winters, juvenile males that hatched earlier at our study site in Massachusetts, USA, occupied wetter, better‐quality winter habitat in the Caribbean, as indicated by depleted carbon isotope signatures. For juveniles that were sampled again as adults, repeatability in isotope signatures indicated similar winter habitat occupancy across years. Thus, hatching date of juvenile males appears to influence lifetime winter habitat occupancy. For adult males, reproductive success did not carry over to influence winter habitat occupancy. We did not find temporally consecutive “domino” effects across the annual cycle (breeding to wintering to breeding) or interseasonal, intergenerational effects. Our finding that a male's hatching date can have a lasting effect on winter habitat occupancy represents an important contribution to our understanding of seasonal interactions in migratory birds.

    Abstract The use of two cusp catastrophe models has been effective for untangling the effects of cognitive workload, fatigue, and other complications on the performance of individuals. This study is the first to use the two models to separate workload and fatigue effects on team performance. In an experiment involving an emergency response simulation, 360 undergraduates were organized into 44 teams. Workload was varied by team size, number of opponents, and time pressure. The cusp models for workload and fatigue were more accurate for describing trends in team performance criteria compared to linear alternatives. Individual differences in elasticity-rigidity were less important than subjective workload and experimental conditions as control variables. Fluid intelligence within the team was an important compensatory ability in the fatigue model. Results further supported the nonlinear paradigm for the assessment of cognitive workload and fatigue and demonstrated its effectiveness for understanding team phenomena.

    Abstract Background: HIV infection causes neuroinflammation and immune activation (NIIA) and systemic inflammation and immune activation (SIIA), which in turn drive neurodegeneration (ND). Cross-sectionally, higher levels of NIIA biomarkers correlate with increased biomarkers of ND. A more convincing confirmation would be a longitudinal demonstration.
    Methods: PWH in the US multisite CHARTER Aging project were assessed at a baseline visit and after 12 years using standardized evaluations. We measured a panel of 14 biomarkers of NIIA, SIIA, and ND in plasma and CSF at two time points and calculated changes from baseline to the 12-year visit. Factor analysis yielded simplified indices of NIIA, SIIA, and ND.
    Results: The CSF NIIA factor analysis yielded Factor1 loading on soluble tumor necrosis factor type-2 (sTNFR-II) and neopterin, and Factor2, loading on MCP1, soluble CD14, and IL-6. The SIIA factor analysis yielded Factor1 loading on CRP, D-dimer, and Neopterin; Factor2 loading on sTNFR-II. The ND analysis yielded Factor1 loading on Phosphorylated tau (p-tau) and Aβ42; Factor2 loading on NFL. NIIA Factor1, but not Factor2, correlated with increases in CSF NFL (r = 0.370,
    Conclusions: Increases in NIIA and SIIA in PWH were associated with corresponding increases in ND, suggesting that reducing neuro/systemic inflammation might slow or reverse neurodegeneration.
