Embedding Locally Projective Planar Spaces Into Projective Spaces
1988
We shall show that a 3-dimensional locally projective planar space of finite order n can be embedded into a 3-dimensional projective space of order n, if it has at least n 3 points.
Embedding linear spaces with two line degrees in finite projective planes
1986
In this paper we shall classify all finite linear spaces with line degrees n and n-k having at most n2+n+1 lines. As a consequence of this classification it follows: If n is large compared with k, then any such linear space can be embedded in a projective plane of order n−1 or n.
Is backward disequilibrium in the elderly caused by an abnormal perception of verticality? A pilot study
2007
International audience; OBJECTIVE: We hypothesised that backward disequilibrium (BD), defined by a posterior position of the centre of mass with respect to the base of support, could be caused by a backward tilt in the perception of verticality. METHODS: The relationship between BD, the perception of verticality, and the history of falls in 25 subjects aged 84.5+/-7.4 years was analysed. An original ordinal scale, the BD scale (BDS), was used to quantify BD. Postural (PV) and haptic verticals (HV) were measured in sagittal plane. RESULTS: BDS scores closely correlated with the number of falls (r = 0.81, p =10(-5)). The more the PV was tilted backward, the greater the BDS scores (r = -0.95, …
Domestic Violence Interventions in Social and Health Care Settings: Challenges of Temporary Projects and Short-Term Solutions.
2020
Social welfare service and health care providers are in a key position to implement successful domestic violence (DV) interventions. However, it is known that DV intervention and prevention work is often lacking in coordination and continuity. In addition, the limited resources, hectic work pace, and changing practices negatively affect the development of successful ways to prevent and intervene in DV. This qualitative study involving 11 focus groups, composed of social welfare and health care professionals ( n = 51) in a midsized Finnish hospital, examined the challenges and possibilities within DV interventions and the adoption of good practices produced by a DV intervention development …
Rosalia La Franca: Thought and Practice
2017
The study proposes an iconographic apparatus with sketches, annotations, schemes and geometric matrices which often accompanies the critical and pragmatic approach of Rosalia La Franca. These graphic and conceptual elements determine the graphic skeleton of her research, through which it is possible to outline the path that from time to time Rosalia La Franca follows to recognize the ‘questionable value of knowledge’.
Una mostra sui disegni di architettura siciliani del XVII e del XVIII secolo
2010
La mostra - e il relativo catalogo - dal titolo "Ecclesia Triumphans. Architetture del Barocco siciliano attraverso i disegni di progetto XVII-XVIII secolo" (Caltanissetta, 2009) a cura di M.R. Nobile, S. Rizzo, D. Sutera, si pone come momento di confluenza di due diversi percorsi di ricerca intrapresi da anni da Marco Nobile e dal suo gruppo di ricerca: lo studio dell'architettura chiesastica siciliana d'età moderna, con particolare riferimento al dibattito sulle chiesa madri tra XVII e XVIII secolo, e la perlustrazione sistematica delle testimonianze progettuali superstiti, conservate nei diversi archivi, collezioni proivate ed enti pubblici. La mostra di Caltanissetta ha infatti raccolto…
New Prospectives in the Delivery of Galantamine for Elderly Patients Using the IntelliDrug Intraoral Device: In Vivo Animal Studies
2009
The transbuccal delivery of drugs could assist several categories of chronic, especially elderly, patients in adhering to a correct dosage regimen. In particular, patients suffering from dementia have several difficulties in following the prescribed dosage, in addition to problems associated with swallowing tablets. Galantamine is currently used for treating patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's-type dementia. The transbuccal delivery of this drug could be an interesting non- invasive and safe administration route. Several studies have been performed in vitro and ex vivo within the framework of a European Commission funded Project (IntelliDrug-FP6), aimed at developing a device which w…
SHAPES secure cloud platform for healthcare solutions and services
2020
The SHAPES project is an ambitious endeavour that gathers stakeholders from across Europe to create, deploy and pilot at large-scale a EU-standardised open platform incorporating and integrating a broad range of solutions, including technological, organisational, clinical, educational and societal, to enable the ageing population of Europe to remain healthy, active and productive, as well as to maintain a high quality of life and sense of wellbeing for the longest time possible. Not only each digital solution will be ethical, legal and appropriate for users, but also the results will align with the full and ethically responsible end-to-end exploitation of the new functionalities empowered b…
Premessa al volume: Il cubicolo X13 nella catacomba di Villagrazia di Carini. Indagini preliminari e interventi di consolidamento 2016-2019
2019
This book is dedicated to the archaeological excavations and to the consolidation of the structures of cubicle X13 in the catacomb of Villagrazia di Carini (PA). In 2015 the interesting funerary chamber was seriously damaged by the collapse of the ceiling; from 2016 to 2019, the realization of the recovery and restoration project by the Pontificia Commissione di Archeologia Sacra has been the occasion for the study of the rock-cut architectures and of the structural characteristics of the cubicle, one of the most remarkable private funerary spaces in the Early Christian and byzantine cemetery of Carini.
Professional Development and Impact of the Early Change Project : Reflections from the Finnish Example
2017
This chapter focuses on the reflections and feedback from the implementation of the Early Change project in Finland. More specifically, it discusses the particular way in which the project was implemented in Finland, presents some experiences of the early childhood teachers who used the observational rating scales and the way that it influenced their practices. Further, it discusses the impact the use of observational rating scales had on two levels—on the professional development of the early childhood teachers and on the educational policies implemented in the educational districts that were partners in the Early Change project. peerReviewed
