Assessment of Burden Among Family Caregivers of Schizophrenia: Psychometric Testing for Short-Form Zarit Burden Interviews
2018
Objective: Although various short forms of Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) have been developed, there is a lack of standard psychometric testing and comparison among them.

Colour alone matters : no predator generalization among morphs of an aposematic moth
2018
Local warning colour polymorphism, frequently observed in aposematic organisms, is evolutionarily puzzling. This is because variation in aposematic signals is expected to be selected against due to predators' difficulties associating several signals with a given unprofitable prey. One possible explanation for the existence of such variation is predator generalization, which occurs when predators learn to avoid one form and consequently avoid other sufficiently similar forms, relaxing selection for monomorphic signals. We tested this hypothesis by exposing the three different colour morphs of the aposematic wood tiger moth, Arctia plantaginis, existing in Finland to local wild-caught predato…
From soil to soil-less in horticulture: quality and typicity
2013
In this review, the technique of soil-less cultivation of horticultural crops is analysed, the main differences between this and traditional cultivation techniques are described, and the advantages and disadvantages of each method in relation to the others are identified. Soilless cultivation has revolutionised various sectors of vegetable and floriculture production, and recent years have also seen interest being shown by Italian fruit crop producers, particularly those involved in table grape viticulture. The various issues related to the use of this technique are described in relation to the needs of the substrate, water management, and mineral nutrition of the different species, and to …

POTENZIALI EVOCATI VISIVI (PEV) IN NEONATI DA GRAVIDANZA PLURIMA: RELAZIONE CON LA DISCORDANZA IN PESO (AGA VS SGA)
2009
Premessa: I PEV consentono di valutare nel neonato lo sviluppo delle vie ottiche e del SNC. Un ritardo della maturazione morfologica del tracciato, una marcata riduzione di ampiezza, o un significativo aumento di latenza delle principali componenti è frequente in neonati con encefalopatia ipossico ischemica od emorragica, o affetti da patologia cerebrale sia congenita che secondaria a grave compromissione sistemica. Nelle gravidanze plurime è frequente il rilievo di una discordanza per il peso alla nascita (neonati AGA e SGA). Obiettivo: Valutare in un campione selezionato costituito da nati da gravidanza plurima, prevalentemente pretermine e con assenza di fattori di rischio perinatali per…
