Disability in Older People and Socio-Economic Deprivation in Italy: Effects on the Care Burden and System Resources
2021
The sustainability of European Long-Term Care systems faces the demographic and socio-economic circumstances, mainly the increasing ageing of the population, with its chronic disease conditions, and the simultaneous economic general crises, exacerbated by the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Beyond the increase in general rate of relative poverty, there is a higher risk of poverty among elderly and families in a high demand of care, especially if situations of Activities Daily Living (ADL) disability are present. Italian welfare, which is based on family care regimes and regional strategies, and is oriented to private or public care, is a relevant case study with which to analyze such a relationsh…
Long-Term Educational Sustainability: Educational Innovation in Social Vulnerability Contexts
2017
This paper investigates the behavior of children from low socioeconomic status families and examines the effects of a socioemotional education program on aggression in children. The results of the program are compared according to the children’s gender and age, the family structure, the parents’ educational attainment, and social status. The results show that applying socioemotional education programs reduces children’s aggression and encourages positive development during adolescence. This positive development fosters open, expressive behavior.
ISTehnology – integrated Approach to IS Development and Benefits of its Using
2011
The system ISTechnology and benefits of its usage are analyzed in the paper. ISTechnology provides an integrated approach to business modeling and development of information systems. The system consists of a meta-model and applications. The meta-model enables defining of a platform independent business model of the organization. The applications provide the definition and interpretation of the business model. Interpretation of the business model provides functionality of the information system in the selected platform. The lessons learned confirm that the development and maintenance cost of information systems can be significantly reduced by use of the ISTechnology. The paper describes addi…
"Todellista vapautta" : käsitykset vapaudesta ja valtion tehtävistä Britannian parlamentin alahuoneen keskusteluissa 1945-50
2016
Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan Britannian parlamentin alahuoneessa käytyä keskustelua vapaudesta ja valtion tehtävistä Clement Attleen johtaman Labour-hallituksen noustua valtaan vuoden 1945 vaaleissa. Kyseinen hallitus toteutti runsaan määrän uudistuksia, joista merkittävimpänä sosiaaliturvan ja terveydenhuoltojärjestelmän uudistukset. Lisäksi hallitus toteutti valtiojohtoista talouspolitiikkaa valvomalla rahapolitiikkaa, sääntelemällä tuotantoa sekä kansallistamalla merkittäväksi katsomiaan teollisuudenaloja. Myös ammattiliittojen toiminnan rajoitukset kumottiin ja ylähuoneen viivytysoikeutta lainsäädännön voimaansaattamisessa kavennettiin. Käydyissä parlamenttikeskusteluissa hallituksen pol…

La pluralità dello spazio pubblico: una analisi ricognitiva nel centro storico di Palermo
2011
La letteratura inerente allo sviluppo urbano moderno e postmoderno, da Michel Foucault a Henri Lefebvre, ha aperto un dibattito in merito alla concezione classica di apertura/accessibilità dello spazio pubblico, evidenziando aspetti quali la esclusione spaziale, la sorveglianza e il controllo sociale, la questione del “diritto alla città”. Si assiste ad una progressiva riduzione o sostituzione dello spazio pubblico – privatizzato, fortificato, commercializzato – di cui risentono in primis i soggetti più deboli e marginali. Talvolta emergono nuove forme di produzione sociale dello spazio, ad esempio tramite riappropriazione informale di “luoghi di scarto”. Il lavoro di ricerca ha focalizzato…
La calidad percibida de los servicios deportivos: diferencias según instalación, género, edad y tipo de usuario en servicios náuticos. (The perceptio…
2008
En el ambito de la gestion deportiva, la calidad de losservicios deportivos y la satisfaccion de los usuarios es un area de gran desarrollo. Este trabajo pretende determinar el grado de calidad percibida en unos servicios deportivos de caracter publico como son unas escuelas de actividades nauticas. Para ello se analizaron 2375 usuarios de estas escuelas que contestaron un cuestionario sobre calidad de servicio percibida y satisfaccion con el servicio recibido. La escala de calidad percibida utilizada determino diez dimensiones de calidad: las clases, el tiempo libre, el entorno nautico, los horarios, la comida, el material nautico, la comida complementaria, la conserjeria, la limpieza y la…
Effects of Rule Changes on Game-Related Statistics in Men's Water Polo Matches
2017
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of rule changes on game-related statistics in men's water polo matches. A total of 856 men's matches played in all Olympic Games and World Championship since 1936 was analysed. The game-related statistics considered were: total goals, winners' goals, losers' goals, goals per minute, goals difference, relationship difference goals and total goals, and relationship difference goals and winners' goals. The rule changes were grouped by structural (game and period) and functional changes (possession time, exclusion time, timing, minimum distance to take a direct shot). Differences between rule changes were determined using a one-way ANOVA. In …
Kinematic and Elastostatic Design Optimisation of the 3-DOF Gantry-Tau Parallel Kinematic Manipulator
2009
Published version of an article in the journal: Modeling Identification and Control. Also available from the publisher:http://dx.doi.org/10.4173/mic.2009.2.1 One of the main advantages of the Gantry-Tau machine is a large accessible workspace/footprint ratio compared to many other parallel machines. The Gantry-Tau improves this ration further by allowing a change of assembly mode without internal link collisions or collisions between the links and end-effector. The reconfigurable Gantry-Tau kinematic design obtained by multi-objective optimisation according to this paper gives the following features: 3-D workspace/footprint ration is more than 3.19, lowest Cartesian stiffness in the workspa…
The landscape of childhood. A study of young adults’ memories in the face of childhood nature
2022
I denne studien undersøker vi hvilke minner som kommer til syne når unge voksne møter barndommens nærnatur igjen, og hvordan kan vi forstå disse minnene. Arbeidet tar utgangspunkt i en kulturell fenomenologisk forståelse. Åtte unge voksne har gått tilbake til sine barndomssteder i skolens nærnatur sammen med en av forskerne. De har gått, klatret og snakket om friluftsliv, lek og lekesteder ute i barndommen. Metoden åpner for å studere komplekse, kroppsliggjorte og stedsspesifikke minner og erfaringer knyttet til konkrete steder, aktiviteter og sosiale relasjoner. Teoretisk bygger studien på fenomenologen Merleau-Pontys beskrivelser av hvordan mennesker bebor verden, Rosas teori om resonans …
