    Abstract La pandemia in corso del COVID-19 a livello globale sta rimettendo in discussione i nostri stili di vita e luoghi dell’abitare. È oggettivo, infatti, che a fronte di un’emergenza sanitaria venga imposto alla popolazione di uscire il meno possibile e, di conseguenza, la casa diventa il luogo non solo del dormire, ma anche del lavorare, dello svago, dell’attività fisica, ovvero di una serie di attività che in buona parte vengono svolte al di fuori del nucleo familiare. Prima di questo evento la progettazione delle nuove forme dell’abitare metteva fortemente in discussione l’abitazione tradizionale che vede la cucina come luogo nevralgico della famiglia, separata dal salotto, l’anticamera di ingresso, ecc., privilegiando invece gli ambienti open space con la cucina integrata nel salotto, la camera da letto con la dimensione minima indispensabile - per valorizzare gli spazi comuni, nonché una casa sempre più intelligente grazie alla domotica. Alla luce di tale esperienza, questi orientamenti dovrebbero essere ulteriormente ripensati e messi in discussione, a partire dall’organizzazione degli ambienti interni, dai materiali di finitura e arredi, dalla presenza di aree esterne quali un giardino, un terrazzo o un balcone, fino alla possibilità di modificare gli spazi in base alle esigenze del momento. Le case infatti ritornano, seppure temporaneamente, ad ospitare molteplici attività diurne, molto diverse e talvolta in contrasto tra loro, e questa situazione potrebbe ripresentarsi in futuro. Ma quanto sono resilienti le attuali abitazioni per viverle h24/7? Tale quesito risulta fortemente influenzato dal numero di utenti presenti nella stessa abitazione e dalla superfici e/o numero di stanze ad essi dedicato. Attualmente, in particolare nelle città più densamente abitate, per questioni di ristrettezza economica, persistono numerose situazioni di sovraffollamento abitativo con conseguente maggiore criticità all’utilizzo multifunzionale richiesto in questi giorni di emergenza. È stimato che un terzo delle case non ha né terrazzo né balcone e, in generale, si stima una superficie media di 68 mq in città (vedi Dezza 2020). Pertanto l’organizzazione del layout distributivo risulta strategico soprattutto nell’ipotesi in cui uno dei componenti familiari (un operatore sanitario, un commerciante, ecc.) deve relazionarsi con utenti esterni, e può risultare contagioso. In tal caso un ambiente con un bagno dedicato, in prossimità dell’ingresso, può prevenire la salute degli altri componenti familiari. Per fronteggiare pandemie del genere, il ruolo dell’anticamera di ingresso risulta strategica come spazio filtro in cui possono essere riposti abbigliamento e dispositivi di protezione adoperati all’esterno per evitare di portare possibili cariche batteriche e virali all’interno dell’appartamento. Tale spazio inoltre si presta anche per accogliere i fattorini per la consegna di spese online, delivery, ecc. senza entrare nell’ambiente privato. I progettisti da tale situazione devono anche imparare a prevedere l’utilizzo di materiali innovativi per ridurre le cariche batteriche sulle superfici di finitura ma anche per gli arredi; a oggi infatti ci sono diverse aziende che producono materiali a componente eco-attiva e vernici fotocatalitiche per fronteggiare il rischio biologico; in alternativa è comunque preferibile l’utilizzo di materiali sanificabili rispetto a quelli che posso essere puliti esclusivamente con detergenti neutri o delicati. È inoltre richiesto che in punti strategici, come le maniglie delle porte, vengano introdotti materiali anti-virali, quali ad esempio il rame (vedi van Doremalen et al. 2020). La Comunità Scientifica ha anche evidenziato che la relazione con l’esterno, e possibilmente con il verde, è molto importante per il benessere psico-fisico degli utenti. In occasione di pandemie del genere, in cui è imposto di non uscire di casa, la presenza di un giardino, o almeno di un balcone o terrazzo può risultare terapeutica, come dimostrano gli studi di Evidence Based Design (vedi Ulrich 1984). Dove ciò non fosse possibile, la presenza di una facciata verde o la vista su aree parco, alberature o tetti verdi potrebbe risultare in parte ottimale. Tutte le abitazioni (ad esclusione dei monolocali) dovrebbero avere una doppia esposizione per favorire una migliore areazione tramite l’apertura di finestre. Negli ambienti dove non è possibile il ricircolo di aria naturale, è richiesta la presenza di sistemi di ventilazione con una regolare manutenzione e pulizia dei canali per evitare l’accumulo di carica batterica e virale. In conclusione, alla luce di questa pandemia sarà necessaria un’ulteriore implementazione dei regolamenti edilizi e di igiene, recentemente aggiornati su scala nazionale, al fine di introdurre azioni concrete e indicatori prestazionali per il progetto di abitazioni maggiormente rispondenti alle esigenze legate alle eventuali emergenze sanitarie. Un approccio maggiormente resiliente e salutogenico dovrebbe, comunque, essere introdotto in tutti i progetti di ambienti di vita sia su scala edilizia che urbana, sia negli spazi indoor che outdoor.

    Abstract Introduction: In paediatrics, the word "humanization" means to care for the whole patient's family. It is vital to preserve a balanced relationship between family members to help the healing process for the young sufferer. How do we ensure that all the strategies adopted up to now have positively reached their objectives of humanization? How then can we measure hospital users' perception? The purpose of this research project is to identify the main factors that influence users' opinion about the quality of environment in paediatrics through a qualitative analysis on users' well-being. Monitoring the humanization level achieved by hospitals and testing the effectiveness of spaces devoted to host young people, may be considered essential phases in gathering new useful evidences as well as to identify potential emerging guidelines.
    Methods: Operative measurements were supported by the LpCp-tool, an effective tool that includes a questionnaire-based investigation and a processing software. The tool was then adapted to the specific explored field. The investigation was applied in three hospitals in Lombardy Region (Italy).
    Results: The most influent factors in users' perception were the space comfort and the standards of security services. Hospital staff generally had a worse opinion than patients/visitors on all items. Under no circumstances must users' involvement relevance be overlooked.
    Conclusions: The research highlights the relevance of the environmental well-being and involvement of users' in the decision-making processes, as well as the absolute requirement of a multicultural context.

    Abstract Background: Previous studies linking compulsive sexual behavior disorder (CSBD) and sexual health have shown mixed results, which could be due to the fact that different CSBD facets may have differential relationships with sexual functioning.
    Aim: As CSBD is a multidimensional disorder, we wanted to investigate whether distinct CSBD domains are differentially related to sexual health.
    Methods: Two online studies were conducted-the first on a convenience sample (812 Polish participants; mean [SD] age, 22.07 [5.91] years) and a replication study on a representative sample of Polish adults (n = 1526; 43.02 [14.37]). Hierarchical regression was employed with sexual functioning as a predicted variable and CSBD symptoms as predictors.
    Outcomes: The Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder Scale was used to assess CSBD symptoms, and the Arizona Sexual Experience Scale was used to measure sexual dysfunction.
    Results: In study 1, CSBD salience (β = -.20, P < .001) predicted hyperfunction (ie, stronger sex drive, easier sexual arousal, easier vaginal lubrication/penile erection, easier ability to reach an orgasm, and more satisfying orgasms). Yet, CSBD negative consequences (β = .15, P = .001) and dissatisfaction (β = .22, P < .001) predicted hypofunction (ie, weaker sex drive, more difficulties in sexual arousal, greater difficulties in vaginal lubrication/penile erection, less ability to reach an orgasm, and less satisfying orgasms). Similar results were found in study 2: salience (β = -.26, P < .001) and relapse (β = -.11, P = .004) predicted hyperfunction, while negative consequences (β = .12, P < .001) and dissatisfaction (β = .12, P < .001) predicted hypofunction.
    Clinical implications: Our results stress the importance of assessing the severity of each group of symptoms in patients with CSBD to better understand possible difficulties in their sexual functioning.
    Strengths and limitations: Our studies are the first to evaluate the effects of each CSBD domain on sexual health. We also replicated results obtained from a convenience sample on a representative sample. The cross-sectional design of the current studies does not allow causal relations to be tested, so future longitudinal research should be carried out. We also gathered data from a general population-thus, it is important to replicate these results on patients diagnosed with CSBD.
    Conclusion: Our research points out the differential impact of CSBD domains on sexual health: salience and relapse are related to sexual hyperfunction, while negative consequences and dissatisfaction to hypofunction.

    Abstract Background and aim: Health and Well-Being (HWB) measurement represents a key issue for companies in all sectors and a core element of social sustainability, according to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Despite its importance for companies and in sustainability reporting, the topic has not been investigated yet from a cross-sectoral perspective. Therefore, this research aims to assess if health and well-being are disclosed in sustainability reports of the largest European companies.
    Methods: The disclosure of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) has been investigated and compared according to the main international frameworks of sustainability. The research focused on sustainability reporting from a sample of the 30 largest companies in three methodological steps. First, the inclusion of HWB issues has been analyzed, identifying references to the SDGs and ISO 45001 within the documents. A second level of analysis considered the adoption of the Global Reporting Initiatives (GRI) Standards, with particular attention to Health metrics (GRI:403). The third level of analysis aimed at researching health and well-being performances, linked to specific KPIs from two selected case studies.
    Results: The review highlighted that all 30 companies generally refer to SDG 3 and SDG 8 in their sustainability reporting while 83%(n=25) of them also apply either Occupational Health and Safety ISO 45001 or Health metrics in GRI Standards; 22 (73%) companies adopted both GRI as the sustainability reporting standard and disclosed the adoption of ISO 45001 management system. Only in two cases, an additional structured framework for HWB is reported highlighting the need for more comprehensive KPIs, especially for employee's well-being.
    Conclusions: The study highlighted that health indicators disclosure is generally limited to GRI Standards disclosure. To achieve greater transparency in sustainability reporting, there is a need to further investigate the issue. (www.actabiomedica.it).

    Abstract Purpose: We aimed to adapt for the Polish language two scales for studies on the psychological consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic - The Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S) by Ahorsu
    Methods: Besides the FCV-19S and SDA, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale HADS (Zigmond and Snaith), the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) (Cohen
    Results: Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the one-dimensional structure of the Polish adaptation of FCV-19S, with satisfac- tory internal consistency and Cronbach's α equal to 0.84. With regard to the Polish adaptation of the SDA, instead of the 4-facto- rial structure (as in the original tool), the analysis uncovered a three-factor structure: intrusions/thoughts, anxiety/emotions, and avoidance. Cronbach's α coefficient for the entire scale was 0.92. Both tools were significantly, positively correlated with anxiety, depression, and stress levels.
    Conclusions: Polish adaptations of both tools are characterized by satisfactory psychometric properties, which enable their use in research and clinical practice.

    Abstract La recente pandemia ha messo in crisi il sistema sanitario. L'ondata di infezioni e pazienti malati critici ha testato la resilienza degli ospedali costringendo le organizzazioni di adottare soluzioni di emergenza. Un gruppo di lavoro ha dato origine ad un decalogo di strategie applicabili sia ai nuovi ospedali che negli ospedali esistenti, suddivise sul livello progettuale e organizzativo/gestionale. Le strategie relative al tema progettuale sono: 01.Localizzazione strategica; 02.Assetto tipologico; 03.Flessibilità e resilienza; 04.Programma funzionale; 05.Centralità dell’utente. Le strategie relative agli aspetti organizzativi/gestionali sono: 06.Rete sanitaria sul territorio; 07.Sicurezza per i pazienti; 08.HVAC e qualità dell'aria interna; 09.Arredi e materiali di finitura innovativi; 10.Innovazione digitale. La pandemia ha accelerato i processi di innovazione e trasformazione, e le strategie gestionali e progettuali presentate possono consentire il raggiungimento di strutture resilienti.

    Abstract The purpose of the scoping review is to explore the relationship between housing conditions, indoor environmental quality (IEQ), and mental health implications on human well-being. In fact, time spent at home increased due to the recent COVID-19 lockdown period, and social-sanitary emergencies are expected to grow due to the urbanization phenomenon. Thus, the role of the physical environment in which we live, study, and work, has become of crucial importance, as the literature has recently highlighted. This scoping review, conducted on the electronic database Scopus, led to the identification of 366 articles. This, after the screening processes based on the inclusion criteria, led to the final inclusion of 31 papers related specifically to the OECD area. The review allowed the identification of five housing conditions [house type, age, and floor level; housing qualities; household composition; neighborhood; green spaces] that, by influencing the IEQ parameters, had impacts on the mental health outcomes addressed. By synthesizing the contributions of the review, a list of design recommendations has been provided. These will serve as a basis for future researchers, from which to develop measures to reduce inequalities in housing by making them healthier, more resilient, and salutogenic.

    Abstract We conducted two studies to investigate the links between perceived social support, problematic pornography use (PPU) and compulsive sexual behavior disorder (CSBD). In Study 1 (n=807, convenience sample recruited via social media) we collected preliminary data and in Study 2 (n=1526) we checked whether the results replicate in a sample representative of the Polish adult population. In both studies participants completed the Brief Pornography Screen, Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder Scale and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. In Study 1 and 2, general social support was a weak protective factor against CSBD (β = -0.15 and β = -0.10) and PPU (β = -0.12 and β = -0.09 respectively, all p values ≤ .001) adjusting for gender, age, sexual orientation and relationship status. The results for three domains of social support (from friends, significant other and family), however, largely differed between the two studies. In Study 1, perceived friends' support weakly protected against PPU and CSBD symptoms. In Study 2 higher support from friends weakly predicted lower CSBD symptoms among men; and stronger family support predicted lower PPU. Support from a significant other was weakly related to lower CSBD for women in Study 1. The conducted studies provided evidence that perceived social support is a protective factor against problematic sexual behavior; however, its predictive power is limited and further studies are needed to assess the importance of various domains of social support in the development of CSBD and PPU symptoms.

    Abstract Previous studies have shown that specific attitudes related to moral convictions can have an important role in the development and maintenance of problematic sexual behavior symptoms. However, although other types of attitudes, like sexual attitudes, are potentially highly relevant, they have not yet been studied in this role. We investigated how four dimensions of sexual attitudes: Permissiveness, Birth Control, Communion and Instrumentality, contribute to problematic pornography use (PPU) and hypersexual disorder (HD) symptoms, controlling for religiosity, sex, age and relationship status. The study was administered through an online questionnaire and based on a representative sample of n = 1036 (M
