The course describes some of the key models, concepts and applications of clinical psychology. The course discusses topics including theories and models in clinical psychology; multidimensional assessment in clinical psychology; clinical features and etiopathogenetic mechanisms of some of the most prevalent mental disorders; description of the main interventions and their mechanisms in clinical psychology; and examples of clinical formulation and discussion of clinical cases. The course requires students to have completed at least one year of study in the field, specifically on courses in General Psychology, Brain and Behavior, and Developmental Psychology across Cultures, as a prerequisite.

This course is part of the Laurea Magistrale program and is intended for advanced level student. Enrolments is by consent of the instructor. At the end of the course students acknowledge that when an asset is musealized, it needs special processes: it must be recognized, it must be cured, and it needs special care before and after its entrance in the museum. Students acquire understanding of museography and museology as theory and practice of the care and interpretation of heritage. Students are acquainted with the computational processes involved in the discipline, with a focus on virtual museum, and digital curation.

The course is part of the Laurea Triennale degree program.. The course explores some of the main concepts and topics of intercultural education including multiculturalism and interculturality, migratory flows and models of integration and coexistence, stereotypes and prejudices, racism, second generations of immigrants, migrant literature, multicultural classes, ethnic-cultural conflict and its management, and sectarianism and religious pluralism.

This course provides students with a sound basis for communicating effectively and accurately in oral and written Italian. In this course, students practice recognizing and using complex Italian grammatical and syntactic structures, such as verbs in all tenses and moods, connective words, and all uses of the subjunctive mood in hypothetical sentences, conjunctions, or indirect speech. Authentic materials (songs, videos, advertisements, and film clips) are used in a communicative-based approach, and emphasis is placed on the four skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Students participate in several sessions of language exchange with Italian university students, and field trips take them outside the classroom to engage with the city and Romans to reinforce the grammatical skills learned in class. The course is conducted entirely in Italian.

This is an intensive elementary Italian language course designed for students with a minimum of 2 quarters/1 semester of previous Italian language (the equivalent of Italian 1A). Grammar is applied through exercises, games, communicative activities, written texts and oral monologues, and role play. Students express basic needs which enable them to communicate in familiar situations regarding everyday topics. Students read brief, simple texts and write brief descriptive and narrative texts. Grammar topics covered include: regular and irregular verbs, regular and irregular participles, reflexive forms, auxiliary and modal verbs (eg. potere, dovere, volere), and use of the verb "piacere." Students learn active conjugation of the auxiliary verbs, "essere" and "avere" and regular verbs in the indicative tense (present, past tense, imperfect, future simple); the conditional present and the imperative. Other grammatical elements include forms and uses of simple and articulated prepositions, adverbs, connectives, determinate and indeterminate articles, gender and number of adjectives, common regular and irregular nouns, demonstrative adjectives and pronouns, subject pronouns, direct and indirect pronouns, reflexive pronouns, and possessives. Student performance is evaluated based on quizzes and a final exam. Texts include a reader provided by Bocconi.

This course is part of the Laurea Magistrale program. The course is intended for advanced level students only. Enrollment is by consent of the instructor. The course focuses on designing wastewater treatment plants and other sanitary engineering works. The course requires a good understanding of Hydraulic and Chemistry base subjects as a prerequisite. The course exercises focus on analysis and discussion of treatment plants and natural treatment systems in their preliminary, definitive, and executive projects. Students are encouraged to design their own treatment system. The course consists of three parts. Part one of the course discusses a general introduction to the following treatment techniques: Activated sludge provided of denitrification with internal carbon source. Submerged aerated biofiltration. Granular settling. Mass settling. Lamellar settling. Oxynitrification by pure oxygen, by micro bubbles and by high efficiency air diffusers. SBR plants. Chemical and UV disinfection. Anaerobic sludge digestion. Composting of sludge and urban waste organic fraction Mitigation of olfactory emissions by biofiltration. Part two of the course discusses a detailed analysis of all text and drawings elaborates of the following projects: Preliminary project of a large-activated sludge urban wastewater treatment plant working in steady state and provided of predentrification phases. Definitive project of a medium urban wastewater treatment plant based on submerged aerated biofilters. Executive project of a small wastewater treatment plant using bio disk techniques. Price list. Metric-Calculation. Amount calculation. Special tender dossier. Contract. Works direction. Accounting. Part three of the course discusses a detailed analysis of the following preliminary and definitive full-scale projects for natural treatment and finishing systems: Aerobic lagoon system. Optional lagoon system. FWS phytotreatment with or without recirculation. Onsite SFS phytotreatment systems applied to small communities. Biofilter applied to mitigate emissions from solid waste pre-treatment plants.

The course offers an overview of social studies of technologies (science and technologies studies), with particular reference to the social dimensions of digital media and communication technologies, providing a set of historical, conceptual, and methodological tools to analyze the relationship between technologies and society. The course is structured in two parts: a first theoretical part presents some of the main concepts and theories for the study of the social implications of technologies, with particular reference to the field of Science and Technology Studies (STS); a second part is dedicated to the deepening of the social and cultural implications that have characterized some of the most important technologies for digital communication and in particular the Internet, the smartphone, and online platforms. More specifically, the topics addressed are: an introduction to the basic concepts and terminology for the study of the relationship between technologies and society; the critique of “technological determinism;” the “social construction of technologies” approach; the role of end users in shaping technologies; the history of the Internet in a social and cultural perspective; the process of innovation of the smartphone and its uses in society; and the social role and technical mechanisms of digital platforms.
