Quality of reporting in abstracts of RCTs published in emergency medicine journals: a protocol for a systematic survey of the literature
2017
Introduction The quality of reporting of abstracts of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in major general medical journals and in some category-specific journals was shown to be poor before the publication of the ConsolidatedStandards of ReportingTrials (CONSORT) extension for abstracts in 2008, and an improvement in the quality of reporting of abstracts was observed after its publication. The effect of the publication of the CONSORT extension for abstracts on the quality of reporting of RCTs in emergency medicine journals has not been studied. In this paper, we present the protocol of a systematic survey of the literature, aimed at assessing the quality of reporting in abstracts of RCTs p…
Positive family history of colorectal cancer in a general practice setting [FRIDA.Frankfurt]: study protocol of a of a cross-sectional study.
2015
Background Although the risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC) is 2-4 times higher in case of a positive family history, risk-adapted screening programs for family members related to CRC- patients do not exist in the German health care system. CRC screening recommendations for persons under 55 years of age that have a family predisposition have been published in several guidelines. The primary aim of this study is to determine the frequency of positive family history of CRC (1st degree relatives with CRC) among 40–54 year old persons in a general practitioner (GP) setting in Germany. Secondary aims are to detect the frequency of occurrence of colorectal neoplasms (CRC and advanced adeno…
A review of the use of information and communication technologies for dietary assessment.
2009
Presently used dietary-assessment methods often present difficulties for researchers and respondents, and misreporting errors are common. Methods using information and communication technologies (ICT) may improve quality and accuracy. The present paper presents a systematic literature review describing studies applying ICT to dietary assessment. Eligible papers published between January 1995 and February 2008 were classified into four assessment categories: computerised assessment; personal digital assistants (PDA); digital photography; smart cards. Computerised assessments comprise frequency questionnaires, 24 h recalls (24HR) and diet history assessments. Self-administered computerised as…
Promoting Food Waste Reduction at Primary Schools. A Case Study
2021
Food waste (FW) has recently attracted the interest of different institutions and has been the focus of many studies due to its important environmental, social and economic impact. This paper aims to analyze whether a didactic intervention, consisting of informing teachers and pupils and involving pupils in reducing FW, could bring about changes in the level of knowledge and attitude towards FW and in the amount of FW generated during the mid-morning break and lunch at schools. This study was conducted at a public Primary School in Valencia (Spain). Subtle changes in the level of knowledge and attitude towards FW were detected in teachers and pupils after the intervention. Around 30% of FW …
Projectual efficacy of the analytical action: radar survey and historical architecture
2014
Il contributo introduce i risultati delle applicazioni della strumentazione radar a impulsi elettromagnetici condotte su monumenti siciliani e dimostra la loro efficacia analitica e progettuale operando nel contesto dei beni architettonici. Le applicazioni presentate perseguono l'obiettivo di localizzare i difetti ed effettuare valutazioni stratigrafiche senza operare in modo distruttivo, riconoscendo la tipologia delle strutture ed i materiali. L'indagine radar è stata spesso effettuata per valutare la profondità delle fratture o l'efficacia delle tecniche di consolidamento. Gli esiti dell'indagine sulla pavimentazione di maiolica sono elaborati con l'impiego di un software in via di speri…
Sistema integrato di metodiche diagnostiche per il restauro della chiesa di Sant’Anna La Misericordia a Palermo
2010
E' mostrata l'applicazione di un sistema combinato di letture strumentali finalizzate all'ottenimento di una diagnosi attraverso un approccio dall'elevato rigore scientifico. Le analisi strumentali sono svolte nella chiesa di Sant'Anna a Palermo. The graphs show the application of a combined system of instrumental readings aimed to obtain a diagnosis through a high scientific and rigorous approach. The instrumental tests are executed in the St. Anne church in Palermo.

Ruolo dell’analisi storica e dei metodi integrati di rilevamento e rappresentazione dell’architettura nella progettazione del restauro
2010
La conoscenza storico-critica e la capacità di rilevare e rappresentare le architetture del passato sono alla base della elaborazione di un progetto di restauro. Il contributo mostra gli esiti di una campagna per la conoscenza tipologica e dimensionale di una architettura nella città di Palermo con metodologie innovative. The historical-critical knowledge and the ability to detect and represent the architecture of the past are the basis for development of a restoration project. The contribution shows the results of a campaign for the dimensional and typological knowledge of architecture in the city of Palermo with innovative methodologies.
Teaching Restoration Methodology: Role of Scientific Contributions in the Conservation of Architectural Heritage
2008
The paper explains how the subjects of the Restoration discipline are taught in the Faculty of Architecture (University of Palermo) that promoted the activation of specific degrees in the Palermo University Athenaeum. The teaching methodology is supported by a powerful tool that is the applied work of research, developed by the Laboratorio di Indagini e Restauro dei Beni Architettonici L.I.R.B.A. “Salvatore Boscarino”. The pedagogy of teaching sets out with the basic level formation and develops up to the acquisition of the necessary knowledge and experiences for the conservation planning and the direction of the correlated site.
Termographic survey and architectural envelopes: infrared tecnology to conserve the skin of monuments. Experimental application in Sicily (2002-2009)
2010
The paper treats the elaboration system to obtain a thermogrammetry. The experimental method is useful to get a metric thermal image to be edited with the photogrammetric image of the architectural surfaces simultaneously. This way, the gotten graph can be imported in c.a.d. software as raster image and becomes the base to improve the design of the thematic maps that constitute the restoration project. The essay shows the editing practice to be developed in order to get the diagnosis supported by thermography on the architectural surfaces. Some application examples of the diagnostic methodology are introduced and critically commented to understand all the potentialities of the investigation…
