Marte Meo as a port of entry to parental sensitivity - a three–case study
2019
Abstract Background Early parent- child relations play an important role in children’s development. Therapeutic intervention towards infants and toddlers at high-risk intends to prevent mental health problems. In this work, the parent-child-dyad is crucial. The video interaction guidance method, Marte Meo, is one among different methods used in attachment-based treatment in an outpatient infant mental health clinic. Parental sensitivity towards infants and toddlers needs is considered significant in developing secure attachment. Secure attachment is further considered decisive for mental health and the extent to which children are at risk of developing mental health problems. Different trea…
SGLT2i and GLP-1RA in Cardiometabolic and Renal Diseases: From Glycemic Control to Adipose Tissue Inflammation and Senescence
2021
Background. Over the last few years, the use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) has increased substantially in medical practice due to their documented benefits in cardiorenal and metabolic health. In this sense, and in addition to being used for glycemic control in diabetic patients, these drugs also have other favorable effects such as weight loss and lowering blood pressure, and more recently, they have been shown to have cardio and renoprotective effects with anti-inflammatory properties. Concerning the latter, the individual or associated use of these antihyperglycemic agents has been linked with a decrease in p…
Acquisition of competencies with serious games in the accounting field: an empirical analysis
2018
El actual sistema de educación superior se basa en un aprendizaje activo por parte del estudiante enfocado al desarrollo de competencias genéricas y específicas. En este contexto muchos autores defienden el uso de simulaciones que favorezcan dicho aprendizaje y, los denominados «juegos serios» (serious games [SG]) se adaptan a este reto. Sin embargo, el empuje que cabría esperar por el desarrollo de las nuevas tecnologías y de la llegada de los denominados «nativos digitales» a las aulas no es coherente ni con su grado de implantación ni con la escasa investigación desarrollada sobre la efectividad de su uso. Los objetivos de este estudio son describir una experiencia docente de implantació…
Entanglement trapping in structured environments
2008
The entanglement dynamics of two independent qubits each embedded in a structured environment under conditions of inhibition of spontaneous emission is analyzed, showing entanglement trapping. We demonstrate that entanglement trapping can be used efficiently to prevent entanglement sudden death. For the case of realistic photonic band-gap materials, we show that high values of entanglement trapping can be achieved. This result is of both fundamental and applicative interest since it provides a physical situation where the entanglement can be preserved and manipulated, e.g. by Stark-shifting the qubit transition frequency outside and inside the gap.
Orbital Evolution of an Accreting Millisecond Pulsar: Witnessing the Banquet of a Hidden Black Widow?
2007
We have performed a timing analysis of all the four X-ray outbursts from the accreting millisecond pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658 observed so far by the PCA on board RXTE. For each of the outbursts we derived the best-fit value of the time of ascending node passage. We find that these times follow a parabolic trend, which gives an orbital period derivative $\dot P_{\rm orb} = (3.40 \pm 0.18) \times 10^{-12}$ s/s, and a refined estimate of the orbital period, $P_{\rm orb} = 7249.156499 \pm 1.8 \times 10^{-5}$ s (reference epoch $T_0 = 50914.8099$ MJD). This derivative is positive, suggesting a degenerate or fully convective companion star, but is more than one order of magnitude higher than what is…
A multi‐agent system for itinerary suggestion in smart environments
2021
Abstract Modern smart environments pose several challenges, among which the design of intelligent algorithms aimed to assist the users. When a variety of points of interest are available, for instance, trajectory recommendations are needed to suggest users the most suitable itineraries based on their interests and contextual constraints. Unfortunately, in many cases, these interests must be explicitly requested and their lack causes the so‐called cold‐start problem. Moreover, lengthy travelling distances and excessive crowdedness of specific points of interest make itinerary planning more difficult. To address these aspects, a multi‐agent itinerary suggestion system that aims at assisting t…
The Sound Design Toolkit
2017
The Sound Design Toolkit is a collection of physically informed sound synthesis models, specifically designed for practice and research in Sonic Interaction Design. The collection is based on a hierarchical, perceptually founded taxonomy of everyday sound events, and implemented by procedural audio algorithms which emphasize the role of sound as a process rather than a product. The models are intuitive to control – and the resulting sounds easy to predict – as they rely on basic everyday listening experience. Physical descriptions of sound events are intentionally simplified to emphasize the most perceptually relevant timbral features, and to reduce computational requirements as well. Keywo…
L’INCIDENTE PENALE NEL SISTEMA DISCIPLINARE DELL’IMPIEGO PUBBLICO PRIVATIZZATO: PROCEDURE, RACCORDI, MISURE CAUTELARI
2020
Il saggio esamina l’attuale disciplina dei rapporti tra procedimento penale e procedimento disciplinare nell’impiego pubblico privatizzato, mettendo in evidenza i principali problemi interpretativi – e le relative soluzioni applicative – che conseguono al superamento della “pregiudiziale penale”, in favore del principio della separazione fra giudizi. L’analisi si sviluppa attraverso la ricostruzione della disciplina di fonte legale e del suo intreccio con le regole integrative dettate dall’autonomia collettiva nella più recente tornata contrattuale. Particolare attenzione è dedicata all’istituto della sospensione cautelare e al problema della restitutio in integrum spettante al lavoratore i…
Licenziamento e rideterminazione della sanzione disciplinare nel lavoro pubblico privatizzato
2020
Il contributo, dopo un’analisi della disciplina sanzionatoria del licenziamento invalido nel pubblico impiego, prende in esame il nuovo art. 63, c. 2 bis, del D.lgs. n. 165/2001. La norma, che attribuisce al giudice il potere di rideterminare la sanzione in caso di difetto di proporzionalità, è oggi una peculiarità della disciplina del lavoro pubblico privatizzato. L’Autore ritiene che questa si ponga in controtendenza con le recenti riforme del lavoro in Italia, in quanto recupera importanti spazi alla discrezionalità giudiziale.
Un nuovo manoscritto di canzoni siciliane con ottave inedite attribuite ad Antonio Veneziano
2020
Si presenta una nuova antologia manoscritta di canzoni siciliane, conservata a Catania presso un privato e databile intorno al 1600, che contiene una cospicua sezione di più di cinquanta ‘ottave’ intestate a vari autori accanto a 349 'canzuni' in massima parte adespote. Il manoscritto fu donato da un certo Lelio, da identificare probabilmente con Lelio Pavese (ob. 1608), a Paolo Pozzobonelli (1572-1630), entrambi nobili savonesi. nel segmento finale del manoscritto si rinviene una pregevole serie di ventidue ottave encomiastiche e di prigionia attribuite ad Antonio Veneziano “carcerato” e indirizzate a Francesco Santapau, principe di Butera, tra il 1588 e il 1590: se ne dà l’edizione commen…
