Italian multicentric survey on laparoscopic spleen surgery in the pediatric population.

2007

Abstract Background: Some technical aspects of laparoscopic spleen surgery still are debated, although efforts have been made to standardize them. The position of the patient, the approach to the spleen, vessel identification and division, and spleen extraction can vary from center to center. Methods: This retrospective muticentric study led by the Societa` Italiana di Videochirurgia Infantile (SIVI) examined indications, surgical details, and complications of laparoscopic spleen surgery in the pediatric population during a 5-year period. Results: The study period from January 1999 to December 2003 (5 years) involved nine centers and included 85 patients with a mean age of 10 years (range, …

Identifying Drivers of Destination Attractiveness in a Competitive Environment: A Comparison of Approaches

2016

Abstract This study applies a demand-side analysis framework to assess drivers of destination attractiveness in consideration of competitor destinations. The framework, consisting of a relevance–determinance analysis (RDA) and a competitive-performance analysis (CPA), is further benchmarked against competing variants of importance–performance analysis (IPA). As this study reveals, the RDA+CPA framework significantly outperforms the IPA approaches with regard to the level of detail and validity of recommended managerial action. In particular, this study reveals that the original IPA framework of recommendations is not compatible for use with attributes that are characterized by large discrep…

Impact of burn-out syndrome in oncology personnel and its improvement through specific interventions

2019

Abstract Background Burn-Out Syndrome (BOS) in oncology nurses, has few experiences reported about its incidence and impact in its three different areas: emotional and physical exhaustion, cynism and despersonalization and no personal nor profesional fulfillment. There is a lack of resources for its diagnosis and management, although it impacts negatively in the patient attention/ care quality and the quality of institutional processes, added the personal impact in personal workers lives. Our objective was to determine the incidence of the BOS in our workers, analyze its causes and reduce in 20% the percentage of workers suffering or at risk of suffering BOS. Methods 23 nurses / nurse assis…

High-overtone bulk acoustic resonator as passive ground penetrating RADAR cooperative targets

2013

International audience; RAdio-frequency Detection And Ranging instruments—RADARs—are widely used for applications aimed at measuring passive target velocity or ranging for various metrology applications such as ground position and localization. Within the context of using piezoelectric acoustic passive sensors as cooperative targets to RADARs probed through a radiofrequency link, this paper reports on investigating the compatibility of narrowband resonator architectures with the classical operation mode of wideband RADAR instruments. Since single mode resonators are hardly compatible due to the limited bandwidth of their spectrum, the investigation has been extended to High-overtone Bulk Ac…

Comments to the paper "do we really need new medical information about the Turin Shroud?".

2015

Abstract Following the interesting arguments raised in a recent letter to the editor, about a paper recently published in this journal, the authors are happy to take a cue from them to clarify some facts that have not been sufficiently treated for space. After a description of the methods used, arguments regarding a blunt trauma on the right shoulder with consequent dislocation, the position of the hands on the pubis with brachial plexus injury, and the wrist nailing that caused retracted thumbs are discussed in detail.

Presentazione

2013

Il testo propone un articolato commento alle posizioni teoriche e alle linee di ricerca progettuale espresse da Michele Argentino, professore ordinario di Design a Palermo circa la necessità di riconquistare il ruolo sociale alla creatività individuale, riprendendosi il desiderio di diventare nuovamente "Homo Faber". Il testo inoltre presenta gli obiettivi della nuova collana scientifica - diretta dall'autrice - dal Titolo " Design e Contesti": intercettare ambiti di ricerca trasversali alle discipline del progetto, favorire gli intrecci tra idee progettuali e percorsi di innovazione socio-culturale, sviluppare nuove strategie produttive compatibili con i diversi aspetti della sostenibilità.

Les détails archéologiques dans les décorations monumentales des bâtiments publics siciliens du XXe siècle : une recherche d’identité

The intervention presented a premise aimed at reconstructing the Greek and Roman past of Sicily, the importance of the archaeological heritage rediscovered during the years of the Grand Tour and the archaeological excavation campaigns between the 18th and early 20th centuries. Subsequently, the presence of «archaeological» details or at least attributable to Greek and Roman classical art and architecture in the monumental decorations of Sicilian public buildings of the 20th century was analyzed, focusing on the period of the fascist regime. Fascist ideology, inspiration from the Roman past for the constitution of the «Third Rome» and references to it in periodicals and Italian architectural…

Two-dimensional filters for structured text

1997

The paper introduces a method for defining filters for structured text. In the method, the text structure is originally defined by a grammar consisting of a set of productions. To describe the information interests, a two-dimensional template is first created interactively from the grammar to show the structure of a set of textual elements, at a chosen level of detail. The template depicts the hierarchical structure of the elements and indicates also optionality, alternatives, and iteration in the structure. Then, the template is filled by constraints and annotations. The constraints allow giving conditions to the content of parts, to the position of parts in an ordered set of parts, and to…

Shaping women's agency through temporality in "The life and activity of the holy and blessed teacher Syncletica"

2020

The present article attempts to discuss the relationship between two female characters, Thecla and Syncletica, against the wider theoretical background of temporality as it was perceived and construed through literary texts. Syncletica is portrayed as a ‘disciple’ of Thecla. However, while the apocryphal Acts of Paul and Thecla appear to be pervaded with an eschatological expectation, the Life of Saint Syncletica shows signs of a different temporality. The detailed description of the whole life of Syncletica, with an emphasis on the course of illness, reveals a temporality more focused on the stages of life. Building on this evidence, I aim to identify a set of key features that…
