Korpusu lietojums klasifikācijas un salīdzinājuma rindkopu rakstītmācīšanā
2018
Nesenie panākumi korpusa lingvistikā liecina par to, ka korpusa lietojums rakstītmācīšanā var nodrošināt svešvalodas ar īpašu datubāzi, sastāvošu no autentiskiem valodas datiem, kas savukārt var uzlabot mācību procesu. Šī pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot, vai korpusos balstītu aktivitāšu lietojums var uzlabot saistošo vārdu izmantošanu klasifikācijas un salīdzinājuma/kontrasta rindkopu rakstītmācīšanā. Pētniecības metode, kas tika izmantota šī maģistra darba tapšanā bija gadījuma izpēte, kas ietvēra pirmstestu, pēctestu un aptaujas anketu. Pētījuma rezultāti liecina, ka korpusos balstītu aktivitāšu izmantošana ievērojami uzlabo saistošo vārdu kopskaitu, palielina pareizi izmantoto saistošo v…
Initial approaches in benchmarking and round robin testing for proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers
2019
Abstract As ever-increasing amounts of renewable electricity enter the energy supply mix on a regional, national and international basis, greater emphasis is being placed on energy conversion and storage technologies to deal with the oscillations, excess and lack of electricity. Hydrogen generation via proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) is one technology that offers a pathway to store large amounts of electricity in the form of hydrogen. The challenges to widespread adoption of PEM water electrolyzers lie in their high capital and operating costs which both need to be reduced through R&D. An evaluation of reported PEMWE performance data in the literature reveals that there …
Structural diversity of copper(II) amino alcoholate complexes
2017
Abstract Amino alcohols which carry both amino and hydroxyl groups in the same molecule are good chelating and bridging ligands. They have been broadly used for the preparation of copper(II) amino alcoholate complexes through the self-assembly process, which generally leads to the formation of diverse structures from mononuclear to polynuclear copper(II) clusters. There are three main factors to control the nuclearity of these clusters: (i) the molar ratio of Cu(II) to amino alcohol, (ii) the choice of the counter anions and (iii) the nature of the amino alcohol. These structures can be used as model systems in magnetic studies, allowing a better understanding about the magnetic interaction…
The Impact on Healthcare Workers of Italian Law n. 24/2017 “Gelli–Bianco” on Patient Safety and Medical Liability: A National Survey
2022
Italian “Gelli–Bianco” law (law n. 24 enacted by the Italian Government on 8 March 2017) introduced innovative changes and regulations regarding patient safety and healthcare workers’ (HCWs) liability. We promoted a national survey to evaluate the effect of the law on HCWs. The questionnaire was edited and distributed using the free online tool “Google Forms” (Google LLC). The mode of administration chosen for the questionnaire was telematic self-completion. In particular, the questionnaire was sent to several portals of information, websites, in the scientific and medical sectors. Four hundred forty-five subjects participated in the survey. The differenc…
Musculoskeletal ultrasound in hemophilia: Results and recommendations from a global survey and consensus meeting
2021
Abstract Introduction For persons with hemophilia, optimization of joint outcomes is an important unmet need. The aim of this initiative was to determine use of ultrasound in evaluating arthropathy in persons with hemophilia, and to move toward consensus among hemophilia care providers regarding the preferred ultrasound protocols for global adaptation. Methods A global survey of hemophilia treatment centers was conducted that focused on understanding how and why ultrasound was being used and endeavored to move toward consensus definitions of both point‐of‐care musculoskeletal ultrasound (POC‐MSKUS) and full diagnostic ultrasound, terminology to describe structures being assessed by ultrasou…
Controllo di gestione nelle PMI e consulenti esterni
2019
L'articolo considera, a partire da un'indagine di campo su un campione di professionisti, il loro ruolo, in particolare quello degli esperti contabili e dei dottori commercialisti, nella diffusione degli strumenti e delle metodiche del controllo di gestione nell'ambito delle PMI. Management control in SMEs and external consultants. The issue of management control in small and medium-sized enterprises has long been the subject of scientific debate, as well as a key point of professionals’ interest. Starting from the recognition of the role played by the latter, this paper aims to investigate the type and level of dissemination of management control tools in SMEs by adopting the perspective o…
Management of Acute Kidney Injury and Extracorporeal Blood Purification Therapies During the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Italian SIN–SIAARTI Joint Survey …
2022
Background and AimThe novel coronavirus disease 2019 remains challenging. A large number of hospitalized patients are at a high risk of developing AKI. For this reason, we conducted a nationwide survey to assess the incidence and management of AKI in critically ill patients affected by the SARS-CoV-2 infection.MethodsThis is a multicenter, observational, nationwide online survey, involving the Italian Society of Nephrology and the critical care units in Italy, developed in partnership between the scientific societies such as SIN and SIAARTI. Invitations to participate were distributed through emails and social networks. Data were collected for a period of 1 week during the COVID-19 pandemic…
Managing an Online Survey about Influenza Vaccination in Primary Healthcare Workers
2015
Online surveys are increasingly used due to their speed and efficiency. The aim of this study was to analyze factors that may have contributed to the quality and speed of response of an online survey on influenza vaccination in primary healthcare workers. A multicenter study including family physicians, nurses and pediatricians from primary healthcare teams from seven Spanish Autonomous Communities was designed. The centers were selected by simple random sampling. The survey remained active and accessible for 56 days and four reminders were sent. The odds ratios (OR) and their 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated to assess the association of sociodemographic variables and respondin…
Day surgery for cataract: descriptive survey in central and southern Italy
2005
Abstract Day surgery has rapidly gained worldwide acceptance especially in the field of ophthalmology. In Italy, cataract surgery is the most frequently performed surgical procedure, even on account of the ageing of the population. This procedure represents a very sensitive indicator of trends in day surgery hospitalizations and of political-managerial situations in the different regional healthcare realities. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diffusion of cataract day surgery in ophthalmology centres/divisions in central and southern Italy in 2003. A questionnaire was used to collect information regarding the number of surgical procedures performed, types of hospital admissions, ti…
Wireless Sensor Network Operating System Design Rules Based on Real-World Deployment Survey
2013
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been a widely researched field since the beginning of the 21st century. The field is already maturing, and TinyOS has established itself as the de facto standard WSN Operating System (OS). However, the WSN researcher community is still active in building more flexible, efficient and user-friendly WSN operating systems. Often, WSN OS design is based either on practical requirements of a particular research project or research group's needs or on theoretical assumptions spread in the WSN community. The goal of this paper is to propose WSN OS design rules that are based on a thorough survey of 40 WSN deployments. The survey unveils trends of WSN applic…
