Il profilo del partner maltrattante by Luca Cimino

“…In most cases, however, violent behavior does not arise suddenly but has been heralded by a series of overt and covert attitudes with a nonnegligible predictive value. Although it is not possible to identify a prototypical psycho(patho)logical profile of the abusive partner, against whom in the vast majority of cases it is not possible to find a defined clinical condition, nevertheless it seems possible to detect in the IPV perpetrators a common denominator that feeds a “perverse” dimension of the interpersonal relationship in which, that is, it is possible to identify a distortion of the functioning of “object relations”, followed by problems in the formation of the ego and with the structuring of pathological forms of attachment that, by preventing the processing of abandonment issues, may also cause violent behaviors. …”

Study of forecasting urban private car volumes based on multi-source heterogeneous data fusion by Chenxi LIU, Dong WANG, Huiling CHEN, Renfa LI

“…By effectively capturing the spatio-temporal characteristics of urban private car travel, a multi-source heterogeneous data fusion model for private car volume prediction was proposed.Firstly, private car trajectory and area-of-interest data were integrated.Secondly, the spatio-temporal correlations between private car travel and urban areas were modeled through multi-view spatio-temporal graphs, the multi-graph convolution-attention network (MGC-AN) was proposed to extract the spatio-temporal characteristics of private car travel.Finally, the spatio-temporal characteristics and external characteristics such as weather were integrated for joint prediction.Experiments were conducted on real datasets, which were collected in Changsha and Shenzhen.The experimental results show that, compared with the existing prediction model, the root mean square error of the MGC-AN is reduced 11.3%～20.3%, and the average absolute percentage error is reduced 10.8%～36.1%.…”
