""Frisk, men likevel ikke som før-"" : slagrammedes erfaringer etter hjerneslag og trombolytisk behandling
2017
Bakgrunn: Et hjerneslag kan forårsake store funksjonshemminger og medfører økt risiko for nye hjerneslag. Intravenøs trombolytisk behandling kan føre til ingen eller minimale mén etter hjerneslaget. Det er begrenset kunnskap om hvordan slagrammede opplever denne hendelsen. Kunnskap om denne pasientgruppens erfaringer vil være nyttig for sykepleiere som arbeider med behandling og rehabilitering av hjerneslag. Hensikten med studien er å få mer kunnskap om slagrammedes erfaringer etter trombolytisk behandling; hvordan livskvaliteten er påvirket og på hvilken måte hjerneslaget har hatt betydning for endring av livsstilen for å forebygge nye hjerneslag. Metode: Studien benytter et kvalitativt de…

Le organizzazioni internazionali europee fra promozione dei diritti umani e diritto umanitario
2020
This essay aims at critically summarizing the role played by the European Union and the Council of Europe with regard to both the promotion of human rights and humanitarian law following the second world war (para. 2 and 3). The idea is submitted that such a role is currently far from being so active as it was until the end of the '90. A similar conclusion stems from the fact that both the recent case law of the European Court and the recent case law of the Court of Justice (as well as the practice concerning the external relations of the EU in the field of migrations) display a clear tendency not to contribute to the development of the international or the european legal regime of human ri…
Self-Perceived Health, Objective Health, and Quality of Life among People Aged 50 and Over: Interrelationship among Health Indicators in Italy, Spain…
2020
It is well known that self-perceived health (SPH), even if it is a subjective health indicator, is significantly associated with objective health and quality of life (QoL) in the general population. Whether it can be considered an indicator of cognitive functioning and quality of life in the elderly is still an open issue. This study used a data-driven approach to investigate the interrelationship among SPH, non-communicable diseases (NCDs), QoL, and cognitive functioning to answer this question. The study sample included information about 12,831 people living in Italy, Spain, and Greece, extracted from the Survey on Health, Aging, and Retirement in Europe, in the year 2015. The additive Ba…
Promoting prosocial behaviour among Colombian adolescents: the evaluation of a universal school-based program using a multi-informant perspective
2022
The present study evaluated the efficacy of an Italian school-based intervention programme adapted in three Colombian sites (Medellín, Manizales, and Santa Marta) in promoting prosocial behaviour among adolescents. Using a pre-test-post-test design with a multi-informant approach, the present study assessed 451 students (Mage = 12.77, SD = 1.06) of the intervention group and 428 students (Mage = 12.64, SD = 1.01) by using self-report and peer rating measures of prosocial behaviour. After establishing the measurement invariance across time and informants, a latent difference score model showed the positive effect of the intervention programme in improving prosocial behaviour evaluated by pee…
Rythmes alimentaires: du fast au slow
2020
This article aims to show, with the instruments of semiotic analysis, that Slow Food is a perfect brand. On the one hand, this brand was born as opposed to another very strong brand, the world colossus of fast food McDonald’s. On the other hand, this opposition was not originally an offer of alternative products to McDonald's, but a proposal for new values: an abstract formulation of an alternative form of life. It is only in a second step, once the brand is established (thanks to its communicative supports), that it acquires a series of commercial offers: food, wines, places of catering, publishing, companies, territories whole, even slow-moving cities. Thus, by a semiotic gesture, Slow Fo…
