Development and Preliminary Italian Validation of the Emergency Response and Psychological Adjustment Scale
2021
Evaluating the personal adaptation response to the emergency situations is very important for the prevention of mental distress, for the activation of network and community synergies and for the planning and implementation of appropriate psycho-social interventions. So far there are no short tools for the overall assessment of cognitive, emotional and behavioral responses of psychological adaptation to the emergency in the psychometric panorama. The Emergency Response and Psychological Adjustment Scale (ERPAS) was administered to a sample of 1,088 participants, while the concurrent validity was tested through a second administration to 600 participants along with the GSE (Generalized Self-E…
Literature Review of Scientific Articles about Cyber Information Sharing
2021
This literature review presents a review of cyber information sharing based on systematic queries in four scientific databases. Hundreds of articles were handled and clustered. Relevant publications concerning cyber information sharing are succinctly described in the paper. The findings are discussed from the perspective of how to develop a cybersecurity information sharing system and what possible features might be included in the system. The literature review will comprise a new database for the Echo Early Warning System (E-EWS) concept. E-EWS aims at delivering a security operations support tool, enabling the members of the ECHO network to coordinate and share information in near real-ti…
Factors determining patient admittance to the observation and consultation areas of the Emergency Department on workdays versus weekends
2019
Background In Poland, as in the world at large, Emergency Departments (EDs) face a formidable problem as they are overloaded with an excessive number of patients. It was decided to investigate whether there are any factors which determine patient admittance rates to the observation and consultation areas of EDs. Objectives The aim of this study is to determine whether differences in the rates of patient visits to emergency rooms (observation and consultation areas) on workdays and on weekends, are significantly determined by sociodemographic variables, patients’ beliefs and knowledge about the functioning of EDs and primary healthcare facilities (PHFs) or health-related variables.

Lo zerosei di fronte all’emergenza COVID. Esperienze, ricerche e riflessioni pedagogiche
2022
Il volume prende le mosse da un incontro on line organizzato il 28 novembre 2020 dal Gruppo SIPED Infanzia sul tema: Lo zero-sei di fronte all’emergenza COVID. In quella sede vennero proposte riflessioni particolarmente interessanti, che hanno trovato poi un approfondimento scientifico nei diversi contributi raccolti. È suddiviso in tre parti tra loro interrelate, che spaziano temporalmente dall’improvvisa chiusura totale dei servizi per l’infanzia a marzo 2020, fino alle prime esperienze di riapertura in nuovi assetti organizzativi nell’a.s. 2020-21. La situazione pandemica e le sue conseguenze pratiche, hanno generato criticità gestionali, oltre a preoccupazione e disorientamento nel pers…

Key Clinical Message Individual airway management is mandatory in patients with large goiters undergoing thyroid surgery. Preoperative endoscopic airway evaluation and imaging studies can support clinical decision making. Awake tracheotomy can be an effective and reasonable airway management strategy in such patients.
Los museos etnológicos como instrumentos de formación ciudadana para la sostenibilidad
2008
La investigación que se presenta estudia el papel que los museos etnológicos pueden jugar en la educación científica para contribuir a sociedades más sostenibles, dado que dichos museos pretenden mostrar aspectos esenciales de la vida de los grupos humanos y las relaciones que se establecen entre ellos y el medio que les rodea. Pueden ser así un instrumento idóneo para abordar, tanto los problemas locales que afectan a un grupo humano concreto, como los globales a los que ha de hacer frente la humanidad. Se ha analizado en qué medida el contenido de los museos etnológicos incorpora la problemática socioambiental y, a la luz de dicho análisis, se han diseñado herramientas -entre ellas un mus…
Infrastrutture (commento al decreto Rilancio)
2020
Nel c.d. decreto “Rilancio” sono state previste numerose norme a sostegno delle infrastrutture e dei servizi dei trasporti, nonché degli operatori economici del settore. Tali misure hanno carattere emergenziale e sono di vario genere: contributi pubblici, fondi di compensazione, riduzione di canoni, proroghe di concessioni e autorizzazioni, nomine di commissari straordinari, costituzione di nuove società a partecipazione pubblica. In questa prospettiva, lo Stato sembra assumere il ruolo di “assicuratore” di ultima istanza, con una ridefinizione dei rapporti tra pubblici poteri ed economia. In the so-called “Relaunch decree", numerous regulations have been adopted to support infrastructures …

Right to Food and Geoengineering
2023
AbstractClimate change poses grave risks to food security, and mitigation and adaptation actions have so far been insufficient to lessen the risk of climate-induced violations of the right to food. Could safeguarding the right to food, then, justify some forms of geoengineering? This article examines geoengineering through the analytical lens of the right to food. We look at the components of food security and consider how the acceptability of geoengineering relates to the right to food via its impacts on these components. Our examination shows that results vary greatly between different forms of geoengineering: while some forms of geoengineering fail to respect the right to food, certain o…
