Fake news and patient-family-physician interaction in critical care: concepts, beliefs and potential countermeasures
2020
Fake news has been defined as fabricated information mimicking media content in form but not in organizational process or intent. Science and medicine are deeply affected by this increasing phenomenon. Critical care represents a hot spot for fake news due to the high risk of conflictive communication, the rapid turnaround of clinical news and high prevalence of unpleasant information. Communication with patients' relatives is one of the hardest aspects. The relationship between physicians and families is pivotal to improve relatives' comfort, and reduce anxiety and pain. Fake news may undermine this relationship, posing an alternative truth between the critical care physician and relatives,…

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.

A Choquet Integral Based Assessment Model of Projects of Urban Neglected Areas: A Case of Study
2014
This paper describes a multi-criteria evaluation model to support decisions related to the redevelopment of urban residual areas, a central theme in planning practices. Renewal projects on urban or neighborhood scale are complex problems because of the social, economic and environmental implications generated on the different categories of stakeholders. In the awareness of the specific characteristics of each city, the cognitive and evaluation model is especially defined for a given urban context, although it is easily adaptable to different urban ones. In order to take into account the interactions among the criteria by which we compare design alternatives, the Choquet integral is implemen…

2015
Il problema decisionale relativo agli interventi di riqualificazione delle aree urbane si caratterizza per la complessità degli impatti sociali, economici e ambientali che in generale si producono. Le destinazioni funzionali delle aree abbandonate compatibili con le loro caratteristiche e il relativo contesto possono essere molteplici e la scelta fra le alternative si traduce nella selezione di una determi-nata ripartizione fra gli stakeholder dei vantaggi e svantaggi causati dall’intervento.L’analisi multicriteriale fornisce strumenti operativi idonei per affrontare tali problemi, per realizzare una vera e propria attività cognitiva, finalizzata a comprendere i punti di vista dei diversi s…

Preprocessing methods for nodule detection in lung CT
2005
Abstract The use of automatic systems in the analysis of medical images has proven to be very useful to radiologists, especially in the framework of screening programs, in which radiologists make their first diagnosis on the basis of images only, most of those corresponding to healthy patients, and have to distinguish pathological findings from non-pathological ones at an early stage. In particular, we are developing preprocessing methods to be applied for pulmonary nodule Computer Aided Detection in low-dose lung Multi Slice CT (computed tomography) images.
