Pharmacological treatment of sexual offenders in German outpatient treatment centers
2018
In Germany, depending on a sexual offender's culpability and the severity of the offence, he/she can be placed either in the forensic-psychiatric or the correctional system. Numbers related to the pharmacological treatment of sexual offenders for the correctional system are missing so far. In sexual offenders, the pharmacological treatment of paraphilic disorders is of special importance. The present study aimed at assessing the prevalence of pharmacological sexual offender treatment in German outpatient treatment centers supervising mainly clients from the correctional sector. An online questionnaire was sent to 112 outpatient treatment centers and 21 provided data relevant for the present…

Patterns of care and cost profiles of women with breast cancer in Italy: EPICOST study based on real world data
2020
Objectives To estimate total direct health care costs associated to diagnosis and treatment of women with breast cancer in Italy, and to investigate their distribution by service type according to the disease pathway and patient characteristics. Methods Data on patients provided by population-based Cancer Registries are linked at individual level with data on health-care services and corresponding claims from administrative databases. A combination of cross-sectional approach and a threephase of care decomposition model with initial, continuing and final phases-of-care defined according to time occurred since diagnosis and disease outcome is adopted. Direct estimation of cancer-related cost…
Removal of silicon from CFB-derived fly ash leachate in the context of phosphorus recovery
2018
High concentrations of dissolved silica in the acid leachate impose two major challenges on precipitation based recovery of phosphorus (P). Firstly, co-precipitation of colloidal silica in the acidic regimes decreases the purity and value of precipitated P-products. In addition, silica scaling on internal surfaces of equipment is also a problematic issue in industrial operations. Therefore, removal of dissolved silica prior to P-recovery process minimizes the risks of Si-contamination in P-products and Si-scaling. In the present study, silica removal was achieved by accelerated silica polymerization with higher acidity and ionic strength of mineral acid, which also assisted the leaching of …
COPE-indeksillä mitatun omaishoitajan kuormittumisen tilan yhteys omaishoidettavan käyttämien sijaishoitopalveluiden määrään ja käytön useuteen
2013
On olemassa vahva yhteisymmärrys siitä, että ikääntyneen henkilön omaishoitaminen voi olla kuormittavaa. Omaishoitoa tuetaan erilaisilla sijaishoitopalveluilla. Niiden vaikutuksista omaishoitajien kuormittumiseen ei kuitenkaan olla yksimielisiä. Sijaishoitopalveluiden käyttömäärissä ja käytön useudessa on suuria vaihteluja omaishoidettavien välillä. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää COPE-indeksiä (Carers of Older People in Europe, COPE index) apuna käyttäen, minkälainen on omaishoitajien kuormittumisen tila Jämsä-Kuhmoinen SoTe-yhteistoiminta-alueella. Lisäksi tutkimuksessa selvitetään, onko omaishoitajien kuormittumisen tila yhteydessä omaishoidettavan käyttämien sijaishoitopalv…
The Export Strategy and SMEs Employment Resilience During Slump Periods
2021
Abstract The Spanish economy was the most hit by the Great Recession. It suffered a greater decrease in the gross domestic product (GDP) (affecting especially internal demand). However, it suffered a greater increase in exports (the so-called Spanish “miracle”). Particularly, Spanish SMEs incorporation into exports has been spectacular since 2008. Further, this has coincided with a huge increase in unemployment. Therefore, our main objective is to investigate the moderating role of exports in job destruction associated with recessive contexts of domestic demand using Spanish manufacturing SMEs as a case study. We obtain for SMEs that export participation helps compensate for the decrease in…
