The role of cefditoren in the treatment of lower community-acquired respiratory tract infections (LRTIs): from bacterial eradication to reduced lung …
2014
Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs), including pneumonia and acute exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), are among the most common diagnoses in both outpatient and inpatient settings. Due to the burden of LRTIs healthcare providers must adopt practices focused on improving outcomes with the aim to reduce treatment failure and antibiotic resistances. Moreover, the role of acute and chronic infection in the pathogenesis of COPD has received considerable attention, since chronic infection can contribute to airways inflammation and COPD progression. This review discusses the role of cefditoren for the treatment of LRTIs, compared with the definition of "appropria…
Trasferimenti tecnologici nella Sicilia d’età moderna: l'impiego del mattone a “cortina”
2016
In Sicilia, nel contesto di quella che è stata definita la civiltà della pietra, e tra i laboratori della stereotomia medioevale nel Mediterraneo, il ricorso al laterizio e alla tecnica costruttiva che l’impiego di un materiale “artificiale” comporta, ha generato in età moderna fabbriche che hanno operato uno scarto rispetto alla tradizione fino a produrre una nuova tradizione. La serie di casi che sono segnalati in questo contributo indicano come sia stata spesso la mobilità di alcuni maestri “forestieri” a spiegare l’introduzione, l’attecchimento e la fortuna dell’impiego del mattone a faccia vista, o altrimenti detto a “cortina”, nel cantiere siciliano d’età moderna. In Sicily, as a part…
A Holistic Approach to Comprehending the Complexity of the Post-growth Era: The Emerging Profile
2015
The goal of this study is to investigate the problems caused by the rapid growth of the global economy, coupled with high population growth and the excessive exploitation of natural resources. The global economy will not be able to maintain its current speed of growth in the long term, so a paradigm shift in production and consumption is necessary, if the collapse of ecosystems and the concurrent depletion of natural resources are to be avoided. This is the reason why capitalism needs to take a turn towards a sustainable and naturally harmonized development model.
Circolazione e sviluppo di un modello metodologico. La critica testuale delle fonti giuridiche romane fra Otto Gradenwitz e Salvatore Riccobono
2018
La ricerca delle interpolazioni, cominciata con la Scula culta, viene ripresa in Germania alla fine del XIX secolo. Fra quanti misero a punto un metodo storico-critico per lo studio delle fonti giuridiche romane va menzionato anche Gradenwitz, che – insieme ad altri studiosi tedeschi – sarebbe stato uno dei maestri di Riccobono. La prima produzione scientifica di Riccobono, che si riconosce nel nuovo indirizzo storico-critico affermatosi in Germania, si avvale dei metodi appresi dai maestri tedeschi. Lungo questo solco, tuttavia, comincia l’elaborazione di un metodo più raffinato, che distingue fra interpolazioni formali e interpolazioni sostanziali e recupera gradualmente altri strumenti d…
Parenting in the digital era: Protective and risk parenting styles for traditional bullying and cyberbullying victimization
2019
Abstract This study analyzes the parenting styles that could act as risk or protective factors for bullying and cyberbullying victimization in Spain, considering the predisposition to aggression of the adolescents. The protective or risk effect of parenting styles for adolescents' related behavior such as antisocial behavior, school adjustment, and self-esteem was also analyzed. Study sample was 1109 adolescents aged between 12 and 17 years (49.96%, females, M = 13.88, SD = 1.38). A 4 × 2 × 2 × 2 MANOVA was applied for the outcome variables of bullying victimization (traditional bullying and cyberbullying), antisocial behavior, school adjustment, and self-esteem; with parenting style, predi…

Educació artística per sensibilitzar en diversitat sexual
2021
Aquesta investigació forma part del projecte "Sensibilització en igualtat de gènere i diversitat sexual mitjançant intervencions artístiques en contextos universitaris" (GV/2020/069). L'objectiu és reflexionar a partir de pràctiques artístiques, elaborant dissenys gràfics, tot incorporant qüestions d'educació en disseny des del taller de gràfica. Es presenta l'estudi de cas d'una intervenció als espais universitaris, ana-litzant el taller impartit a grups d'alumnat, fent servir instruments d'avaluació com diagnòstics, grups focals i treball creatiu, formant mestres conscients del respecte a la diversitat sexual i l'educació inclusiva. Entre els resultats, destacar la utilització del disseny…
Evaluation of the ERA5 reanalysis-based Universal Thermal Climate Index on mortality data in Europe
2021
Air temperature has been the most commonly used exposure metric in assessing relationships between thermal stress and mortality. Lack of the high-quality meteorological station data necessary to adequately characterize the thermal environment has been one of the main limitations for the use of more complex thermal indices. Global climate reanalyses may provide an ideal platform to overcome this limitation and define complex heat and cold stress conditions anywhere in the world. In this study, we explored the potential of the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) based on ERA5 – the latest global climate reanalysis from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) – as a h…
The Eradication of Poliomyelitis in Spain: Projects, Obstacles, Achievements, Realities
2015
he main aim of our paper is to provide a historical approach to the complex process undertaken in Spain to achieve the official WHO certificate of polio eradication in 2002, within the framework of the initiatives launched in the WHO European Region. At the time of the first meeting of the European Regional Commission for the Certification of Poliomyelitis Eradication in 1996, the epidemiological situation and levels of vaccination cover (over 90%) enabled Spain, like other countries, to ensure compliance with the conditions set by the World Health Organization. This showed that the country, at the end of the twentieth century, had achieved high public health standards, which is remarkable …
Sub specie æternitatis: the role of the ruin and the ancient in the process of architectural renewal between metamorphosis and resurgence
2022
Composing new works of architecture inspired by vestiges from antiquity or archaeology. The reflections and the case study which will be proposed, pertaining to a recent design experiment for the archaeological area and Antiquarium of Tyndaris, are dedicated to this theme. Over and above any charm exerted by such places, by landscapes in which the ruins appear identical in substance and which sometimes manifest themselves as “sub specie æternitatis”, there are reasons linked to the very profession of architect and to the gashes in the crucible of controversies around the role of history in its contentious relationship with architectural design. That apart, the aporias revealed by Michel Fou…
