A total of 217 articles published between 1974 and 2025 were identified through searches in Scopus, PsycInfo, and PubMed, complemented by manual screening of the Journal of Personality Assessment, Rorschachiana, and the Therapeutic Assessment Bibliography. Publication volume increased steadily across decades. Exner’s Comprehensive System was the most frequently used coding system, followed by the School of Paris and, more recently, R-PAS. Strong associations emerged between coding systems and language of publication: CS and R-PAS articles were published almost exclusively in English, whereas School of Paris contributions appeared predominantly in French. R-PAS case studies were more often published in higher-ranked journals, whereas School of Paris contributions appeared more frequently in non-indexed journals. Most case reports focused on children, adolescents, and young adults, although demographic variables such as ethnicity and cultural background were rarely reported. The Rorschach was used primarily in clinical settings, commonly within multimethod assessments integrating psychostructural and psychodynamic perspectives. Reporting transparency varied considerably, highlighting the need for clearer reporting standards and greater openness in future Rorschach case study publications.

(violenza sessuale di gruppo), invece prevista dall’art. 609-bis c.p. (violenza sessuale), ritenendo sussistente in tale discrasia la «violazione del principio di proporzionalità della pena nonché del principio di ragionevolezza intrinseca, desumibili dagli artt. 3 e 27 Cost.». Si constata, in questa prospettiva, come sia andata strutturandosi un’estensione del giudizio di conformità alla finalizzazione rieducativa delle pene richiesta dall’art. 27, co. 3, Cost. non più riguardante le sole norme sull’esecuzione penale, ma anche le scelte sanzionatorie operate dalle norme incriminatrici. Si approfondisce, pertanto, il significato della nozione di proporzionalità con riguardo alla sistematica delle pene, individuando, altresì, fattispecie le cui opzioni sanzionatorie esigerebbero uno scrutinio urgente di proporzionalità. Nel contempo, rimarcandosi come un utilizzo univoco del paradigma della proporzionalità da parte della Corte costituzionale non possa dirsi tuttora acquisito, vengono proposte valutazioni critiche circa alcune pronunce recenti della medesima Corte che non hanno riconosciuto, in merito a casistiche particolarmente delicate, la violazione di tale paradigma.

The objective of this paper is to analyse the papers that, over the last two decades, have investigated different aspects of audit teams and to draw some conclusions on the state of the art in this field. Design/methodology/approach – Firstly, we conducted a descriptive analysis of the papers published on the topic and a bibliometric review of the literature using social network analysis (SNA). Secondly, we examined the specific contents of all the papers published on audit teams and critically assessed them. We adapted the framework by Georganta et al. (2024) and classified contributions in relation to dimensions that affect audit teams' outcomes. We then considered the impact that the evolution of technology has on audit teams. To do this, we relied on the existing evidence from studies that analysed the impact of new technology on audit activities. Finally, we summarised our conclusions, highlighting the avenues for future research, as well as policy implications. The authors declare that AI tools were used solely for checking the syntax and grammar of the text, with the aim of improving correctness and clarity. Findings – Our analysis shows some fragmentation in the literature due to the rather limited focus on audit teams as the main unit of analysis. In addition, it reveals the potential characteristics of an “ideal” audit team and the profiles of its members, a number of features within the audit procedures that are beneficial to audit outcomes, and the impact of softer dimensions on the outcomes of the auditing process. It also reconsiders the conclusions achieved in the past research, in light of the advent of new technologies. Finally, we propose avenues for future research, as well as policy implications. Originality/value – Audit teams play a pivotal role in determining audit outcomes. This is widely recognised nowadays in both theory and practice and is confirmed by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), which highlights that the specifics of audit teams are key to achieving audit quality (PCAOB, 2015). It is therefore crucially important to understand what we know about the characteristics and functioning of auditing teams, as well as their consequences. So far, no attempt has been made to systematically review the literature that explicitly focuses on audit teams. While there are studies that review various dimensions of auditing, such as audit fees and audit partners (Hay et al., 2006; Lennox and Wu, 2018; Simnett and Trotman, 2018), none has considered audit teams as the unit of analysis. Our objective is to fill this void.

Through a comparative analysis of selected episodes and visual-textual excerpts, the study investigates how technological artifacts such as robotic prostheses, consciousness-transfer capsules, and environmental anomalies function as catalysts for ontological disruption, existential recognition, and shifts in modes of relationality. Central to the analysis is the recurring juxtaposition between a transhumanist logic of enhancement – embodied in the scientific elite’s efforts to transcend biological constraints – and a posthumanist imaginary that emerges from the landscape itself: abandoned robots, machine-organic hybrids, and altered temporalities that resist instrumental control. The paper draws on Heidegger’s concept of Gestell (1977) to frame the Loop as both an infrastructural dispositif and a symbolic structure of enframing, while identifying moments in which characters encounter technology not as resource but as site of alētheia. Particular attention is given to episodes where identity, care, and vulnerability are renegotiated through encounters with machines. Rather than proposing a linear narrative of progress or decline, Tales from the Loop articulates a speculative ecology in which human and non-human agencies coexist, conflict, and co-emerge. In doing so, the work offers a multi-layered meditation on the limits of control, the fragility of embodiment, and the possibility of a different attunement to being in the technological age.
