Disability, and not diabetes, is a strong predictor of mortality in oldest old patients hospitalized with pneumonia
2018
Abstract Background Pneumonia causes more deaths than any other infectious disease, especially in older patients with multiple chronic diseases. Recent studies identified a low functional status as prognostic factor for mortality in elderly patients with pneumonia while contrasting data are available about the role of diabetes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the in-hospital, 3-month and 1-year mortality in elderly subjects affected by pneumonia enrolled in the RePoSi register. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the data collected on hospitalized elderly patients in the frame of the REPOSI project. We analyzed the socio-demographic, laboratory and clinical characteristics of subjects…
VIAGENS E LEITURAS JAPONESAS EM RAKUSHISHA, DE ADRIANA LISBOA
2014
Resumo: No romance Rakushisha (2007), Adriana Lisboa representa varias dimensoes da experiencia da alteridade. Os dois protagonistas brasileiros que viajam ao Japao – Haruki em busca de suas raizes culturais, Celina em busca dela mesma – refletem a estadia da propria autora em Quioto, experiencia necessaria para poder escrever o livro, como afirma ela. A viagem do protagonsitas ao Japao tambem funciona como guia para os leitores na descoberta e no dialogo com as obras dos poetas japoneses Matsuo Bashō (1644-1694) e Sei Shōnagon (966-1025) – particularmente o Saga Nikki e o Livro de cabeceira – assim como a experiencia do Japao relatada por Roland Barthes em L’Empire des signes . Abstract: I…
The Blockchain in Microgrids for Transacting Energy and Attributing Losses
2017
In recent years novel models for energy distribu- tion appeared and islanded microgrids quest for new ways to exchange energy between consumers and producers without the need of central authorities. The blockchain mechanism has emerged as a distributed solution for recording energy transactions in power systems. The blockchain has been used to permit users bartering and selling energy and to keep track of such exchanges without exposing them to tampering. In this work, we consider a novel application of the blockchain in islanded microgrids that includes also annotating energy losses caused by energy transactions, in order to have a more realistic matching between the physical status of the…
Fuzzy logic helps to integrate music theory and practice
2010
Among the many practices of composers, instrumentalists and singers which clearly correspond with fuzzy logic our focus here is on tuning. Different criteria have been used to select the sounds that music uses. A set containing these sounds (musical notes) is called a tuning system. Several tuning systems coexist in a classical orchestra. The pitches of the notes are different and very precisely defined for each system; however the consequences of small deviations from these theoretical frequencies are not serious. Actually, the orchestra members are aware of the necessity of reaching a consensus and adjust their instruments to tune well. Because of this, many musicians feel that the mathem…

Seawater carbonate chemistry and percentage cover of macroalgal species at three locations at Vulcano, Italy
2017
Beneficial effects of CO2 on photosynthetic organisms will be a key driver of ecosystem change under ocean acidification. Predicting the responses of macroalgal species to ocean acidification is complex, but we demonstrate that the response of assemblages to elevated CO2 are correlated with inorganic carbon physiology. We assessed abundance patterns and a proxy for CO2:HCO3- use (delta 13C values) of macroalgae along a gradient of CO2 at a volcanic seep, and examined how shifts in species abundance at other Mediterranean seeps are related to macroalgal inorganic carbon physiology. Five macroalgal species capable of using both HCO3- and CO2 had greater CO2 use as concentrations increased. Th…
Cine, deporte y propaganda. De "Olympia" al simulacro.
2016
RESUMEN TESIS Este trabajo rastrea y analiza las continuidades entre las herramientas propagandísticas del fascismo y los recursos comunicativos del capitalismo. Se aborda desde la perspectiva del deporte y en el caso concreto del cine olímpico, con una perspectiva histórica de 80 años que trata de elegir los mejores ejemplos del género y los momentos puntuales de cambio. El deporte se considera aquí punto de encuentro entre la política, la historia, la sociedad y la economía y se aborda desde la comunicación, considerando el cine olímpico como ejemplo cerrado, internacional y referencial. Se analiza el relato cinematográfico de los Juegos Olímpicos de Los Ángeles de 1984 (“16 days of glory…
Politiskā konkurence Latvijas pašvaldībās: labas pārvaldības dzinulis vai traucēklis?
2018
Pētījumā tiek apskatītas Latvijas pašvaldību vēlēšanas pēc administratīvi teritoriālās reformas. Tas ietver pilnus 2009.gada un 2013.gada sasaukumus, un Pašvaldību velēšanas 2017.gadā. Par darba teorētisko bāzi tiek izmantos Bartolīni izvirzīties četri sansencīgu politisko sistēmu priekšnoteikumi. Darba gaitā tiek noteikts, ka Latvijas pašvaldību politiskā sistēma atbilst visiem četriem priekšnoteikumiem. Darbā konkurence tiek operacionalizēta kā Politikās konkurences indekss. Pētījuma gaitā tiek noskaidrots, ka kopš 2013.gada velēšanām PKI rādītājs ir saglabājies nemainīgs. Novados PKI radītājs, joprojām atpaliek no 2009.gada radītāja, bet republikas pilsētās 2017.gada PKI rādītājs jau ned…
Gli ospedali di Palermo e Messina tra XVI e XVII secolo: architettura, servizi e spazio urbano
2021
A competition for the primacy in the Island took place during the 16th century in Palermo and Messina, the two main Sicilian cities at that time, thus establishing the grounds for comparison in architectural and urban construction sites. This assumption is also confirmed in the design of the “places of care” – modern hospitals which both cities were equipped with – with a focus, in addition to the efficiency of the new institutions, to the quality of the architectural image and the urban location.
