Il valore della marginalità in un mondo conformista- un diverso modo di pensare lo sviluppo
2009
La marginalità è sinonimo di periferia e se il centro, oggi, produce profondi danni, è agli estremi che possono avvenire grandi cambiamenti, dove le realtà economiche e sociali sperimentano nuove situazioni. I processi di standardizzazione, necessari nell'ottenere e raggiungere economie di scala, non spiegano gli eventi shock che rispondono ad esigenze di differenziazione delle preferenze degli individui superando quel facile conformismo di massa in cui le società, oggi, rischiano di annegare. Il libro propone una serie di case studies orientati all'economia reale. In particolare, il legame tra nutrizione artificiale ed economia nell'ambito, oggi molto dibattuto, della sopravvivenza dei mal…

La difficile “via della conciliazione” nel processo civile italiano. Una storia di equivoci terminologici e concettuali
2011
1) La difficile “via della conciliazione” nel processo civile italiano - una storia di equivoci terminologici e concettuali L’indagine muove da una breve esegesi storica dei rapporti tra conciliazione e processo civile italiano, a partire dal Regno delle due Sicilie fino al d.lgs. 28/2010. Nei primi due capitoli si esamina la figura del conciliatore borbonico e le sue progressive evoluzioni, con l’avvento del Regno d’Italia, verso un organo sempre più giurisdizionale (quale fu il giudice conciliatore sotto il codice del 1865 e il codice del 1940), fino all’attuale giudice di pace, le cui funzioni di conciliatore in sede stragiudiziale, sono pressoché atrofizzate. Si esamina, quindi, la conc…

Impact of the environment on the health: From theory to practice
2021
The Erice 56 Charter titled "Impact of the environment on the health: from theory to practice" was unanimously approved at the end of the 56th course of the "International School of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine G. D'Alessandro" held from 3th to 7th November 2019 in Erice - Sicily (Italy) and promoted by the Study Group of "Environment and Health" of the Italian Society of Hygiene, Preventive Medicine and Public Health. The course, that included lectures, open discussions and guided working groups, was aimed to provide a general training on epidemiological and toxicological aspects of the environmental health impact, to be used by public health professionals for risk assessment, with…
Validating an Efficient Method to Quantify Motion Sickness
2011
Objective: Motion sickness (MS) can be a debilitating side effect associated with motion in real or virtual environments. We analyzed the effect of expectancy on MS and propose and validate a fast and simple MS measure.Background: Several questionnaires measure MS before or after stimulus presentation, but no satisfactory tool has been established to quickly capture MS data during exposure. To fill this gap, we introduce the Fast MS Scale (FMS), a verbal rating scale ranging from zero (no sickness at all) to 20 (frank sickness). Also, little is known about the role of expectancy effects in MS studies. We conducted an experiment that addressed this issue.Method: For this study, 126 volunteer…
European vestibular experiments on the Spacelab-1 mission: 7. Ocular counterrolling measurements pre- and post-flight.
1986
The static ocular counterrolling (OCR) of the four scientific crew members in the first Spacelab mission was measured during baseline-data-collection before and after the flight of SL-1. It was presumed that the modification of otolithic responses during spaceflight will be reflected in specific changes of the OCR-gain on the first days after recovery. The magnitude of OCR was determined analysing colour-transparencies of subjects right eyes that were produced in different positions of lateral body tilt. In general, one subject did not show any changes at all; three subjects exhibited a significant decrease of OCR-gain after exposure to weightlessness, whereby differences could be found bet…

This study investigated the role of vection (i.e., a visually induced sense of self-motion), optokinetic nystagmus (OKN), and inadvertent head movements in visually induced motion sickness (VIMS), evoked by yaw rotation of the visual surround. These three elements have all been proposed as contributing factors in VIMS, as they can be linked to different motion sickness theories. However, a full understanding of the role of each factor is still lacking because independent manipulation has proven difficult in the past. We adopted an integrative approach to the problem by obtaining measures of potentially relevant parameters in four experimental conditions and subsequently combining them in a …
Time trends, sociodemographic and health factors associated with discharge and length of stay of hospitalised patients with sickle cell disease in Gh…
2021
ObjectivePatients with sickle cell disease (SCD) are prone to multiple episodes resulting in frequent hospital visits. We determined the time trends, sociodemographic and health factors associated with length of stay (LoS) for patients with SCD in Ghana.Design, participants, settingWe retrospectively analysed SCD hospitalisation records of 22 680 patients from a nationwide database of the Ghana Health Service from 2012 to 2017.Outcome measuresFactors associated with LoS were estimated using Cox regression, while the cumulative incidence of being discharged alive was estimated with in-hospital death as a competing risk.ResultsPatients admitted for SCD over 6 years constituted 22 680 (0.8%) o…
