More nature in the city
2020
According to projects and practices that the Italian botanists and ecologists are carrying out for bringing “more nature in the city”, new insights for a factual integration between ecological perspectives and more consolidated aesthetic and agronomic approaches to the sustainable planning and management of urban green areas are provided.
Psychological processes of ACL-patients' post-surgery rehabilitation : A prospective test of an integrated theoretical model
2020
Objectives: The aim of this prospective study was to examine the utility of an integrated model comprising constructs from self-determination theory (SDT) and the theory of planned behavior (TPB) in predicting adherence to a post-surgery rehabilitation program in patients receiving anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Constructs of the integrated model measured at baseline were expected to predict patients' rehabilitation adherence two months later. Method: Patients (N = 121, M age = 27.62, range = 18–53; 36.66% female) scheduled to have ACL reconstruction surgery within two months were recruited from a Hong Kong public hospital. At baseline and two-month follow-up, patients com…

Noninvasive neurostimulation methods for migraine therapy: The available evidence.
2016
Background Migraine is one of the most disabling neurological disorders. The current pharmacological armamentarium is not satisfying for a large proportion of patients because the responder rate does not exceed 50% on average and the most effective drugs often induce intolerable side effects. During recent years, noninvasive central and peripheral neuromodulation methods have been explored for migraine treatment. Overview A review of the available evidence suggests that noninvasive neuromodulation techniques could be beneficial for migraine patients. The transcranial stimulation methods allow modulating selectively cortical activity and can thus be curtailed to the patient’s pathophysiologi…
Impact assessment of a solar powered water treatment project
2015
Water treatment technologies are seen as the best alternative to be considered for adoption in developing countries where access to portable water supply that is free of pathogens is yet a challenge. This study intended to assess impact brought forth by a project, which employed a water treatment technology in rural settings of Morogoro Region in Tanzania. The project used solar photovoltaic panels to trap solar energy, converted to mechanical power to treat water with the help of sterilization ultraviolet membrane. A comparative analysis was used as an assessment framework to study impacts of the project with respect to the quality of approach used during the project life cycle. Determinan…
SST Comparison of AVHRR and MODIS Time Series in the Western Mediterranean Sea
2020
La temperatura de la superficie del mar (SST) es un parámetro clave para comprender los procesos atmosféricos y oceánicos. Desde finales de la década de 1980, las imágenes de satélite infrarrojas se han utilizado para complementar los registros in situ para estudiar la variabilidad temporal y espacial de la SST. El radiómetro avanzado de muy alta resolución (AVHRR) del satélite de la Administración Nacional Oceánica y Atmosférica (NOAA) fue el primer sensor utilizado con éxito para calcular la SST después del desarrollo y validación del algoritmo de corrección atmosférica conocido como 'ventana dividida'. Más recientemente, el espectrorradiómetro de imágenes de resolución MODERADA (MODIS) a…
Revisiting a Previously Validated Temperament Test in Shelter Dogs, Including an Examination of the Use of Fake Model Dogs to Assess Conspecific Soci…
2019
This study assessed the feasibility and reproducibility of a previously validated temperament test (TT) for shelter dogs. The test was developed to measure dog behaviour in the kennel, and traits of sociability towards people and other dogs, docility to leash, playfulness, cognitive skills, and reactivity. We introduced the use of differently sized fake dogs to check their appropriateness in correctly assessing sociability to dogs to broaden its applicability (as the original study used real stimulus dogs). We hypothesised that dogs&rsquo

Discussions of Fatherhood in Male Batterer Treatment Group
2013
The aim of this study was to examine how men who have perpetrated violence toward their partners and participated in batterer group talked about being a father and how they perceived their own fatherhood. The discussion in the group was analyzed qualitatively by using the methods of content analysis. In traditional fatherhood, they talked about avoidant, passiveness, distant, indifference, and authoritative controlling ways of acting. These men also created an image of themselves as active and caring fathers, thus including empathy and nurture in the concept of fatherhood. This new fatherhood was considered an achieved goal and an objective for the men as being a father. Talking about fath…
