Noninvasive Ventilation in Critically Ill Patients
2015
Since its first application in the late 1980s, noninvasive ventilation (NIV) has been the first-line intervention for certain forms of acute respiratory failure. NIV may be delivered through the patient's mouth, nose, or both using noninvasive intermittent positive pressure ventilation or continuous positive airway pressure. When applied appropriately, NIV may reduce morbidity and mortality and may avert iatrogenic complications and infections associated with invasive mechanical ventilation. This article provides physicians and respiratory therapists with a comprehensive, practical guideline for using NIV in critical care. © 2015 Elsevier Inc.

SEAFRONT Most coastal cities and towns have a seafront that is regarded as of special importance. Some are just as famous as the towns where they are found. However, assessing any urban seafront entails a reflection on the relationship between the sea and the town. In the Mediterranean, the connection between coastal towns and the sea has been a difficult and ambiguous one. The universal flood myth, which we find across cultures and in ancient legends, albeit with certain variations, attests to it. In such legends, the destruction of the world by the fury of the seas and oceans is total, save for the plants and animals of every species, as well as for a few righteous human beings. Hence, it…
Hyvä, paha lähiö : nuoret ja asuinalueella syntyvä sosiaalinen pääoma
2018
Nuorten elämä kiinnittyy usein voimakkaasti asuinalueeseen ja lähiympäristöön. Viime vuosina sekä nuorten sosioekonominen eriarvoisuus että lähiöiden sosiaalinen eriytyminen ovat lisääntyneet. Joistakin ongelmista huolimatta huonomaineisetkin lähiöt tarjoavat nuorille positiivisia samaistumisen kohteita, tukiverkostoja, kaveriporukoita, identiteetin rakentamisen välineitä – ja sosiaalista pääomaa. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastellaan, miten lähiössä asuvat ja kasvaneet nuoret kuvaavat asuinpaikkaansa ja sinne kiinnittyviä sosiaalisia suhteita. Aineistona on Tampereella Tesoman lähiössä asuvien nuorten yksilö- ja ryhmähaastatteluja, joita analysoidaan sekä aineisto-…
El análisis marxista de las necesidades sociales
2018
The disappearance of the so-called «real socialism» has concealed the validity of the Marxist analysis of social reality. One of the sets of hypotheses that has best maintained its heuristic capacity is the Marxist theory of needs. The Marxist hypotheses have been developed in debate with other conventional conceptions. Currently, feminism and the ecological analysis of needs are renewing the views of Heller and Habermas.
The Correlation Between Human Capital and Gross Added Value in the Bioeconomy Sectors at the European Union (EU) Country Level
2019
Abstract The paper aims to prove the link between human capital and gross added value in bioeconomy sectors in the EU countries. Data from EUROSTAT data base regarding employment and gross added value in 6 bioeconomy sectors were used in a cross-country regression analysis. The econometric analysis of cross-country data shows a positive correlation between human capital in bioeconomy sectors and their gross output in 2015 in 26 European countries. It is found also that the correlation is stronger in the highly developed economies as in the central-eastern countries, as well as in the European economy.
Natural enemies emerging in cereal fields in spring may contribute to biological control
2022
1.Biological pest control is known to depend on landscape heterogeneity. However, such relationship shows irregular pattern and seems influenced by local farming practices and natural enemies that overwinter within crop fields. The objective of this study was to assess the contribution of emerging natural enemies in spring to biological control, and their response to the interaction between landscape heterogeneity and farming intensity. 2.We monitored the overwintering insect community using emergence traps and measured the local potential pest predation using prey cards in 30 cereal fields, in spring in France. Study fields were selected along a landscape heterogeneity gradient and farming…

Mafia, legalità debole e sviluppo del Mezzogiorno
2005
Fra gli ostacoli che impediscono lo sviluppo del Mezzogiorno la presenza endemica delle organizzazioni criminali di stampo mafioso è uno dei più rilevanti. La mafia, che viene qui vista come un'organizzazione professionale, si è peraltro trasformata, anche sotto l'incalzare delle politiche antimafia. Paradossalmente, tuttavia, l'efficacia di tali politiche è stata spesso sottovalutata, generando così l'erronea sensazione che la mafia sia pressoché invincibile. Per altro verso, la mobilitazione della cittadinanza avutasi negli anni novanta è stata forte e visibile, ma il presunto risveglio della società civile è stato effimero, anche perché legato alle strategie di singoli imprenditori polit…
Microencapsulation of Enteric Bacteriophages in a pH-Responsive Solid Oral Dosage Formulation Using a Scalable Membrane Emulsification Process
2019
A scalable low-shear membrane emulsification process was used to produce microencapsulated Escherichia coli-phages in a solid oral dosage form. Uniform pH-responsive composite microparticles (mean size ~100 µ
