Impact of a stay in the intensive care unit on the preparation of Advance Directives: Descriptive, exploratory, qualitative study.

2017

Abstract Background Our objective was to assess, through a qualitative, exploratory study, the thought processes of patients regarding the formulation of advance directives (AD) after a stay in the ICU. Methods The study was conducted from May to July 2016 using telephone interviews performed by four senior ICU physicians. Inclusion criteria were: patients discharged from ICU to home > 3 months earlier. Semi-directive interviews with patients focused on 5 main points surrounding AD. Results In total, among 159 eligible patients, data from 94 (59%) were available for analysis. Among all those interviewed, 83.5% had never heard of “advance directives”. Only 2% had executed AD before ICU admis…

Similarity Solutions and Collapse in the Attractive Gross-Pitaevskii Equation

2000

We analyse a generalised Gross-Pitaevskii equation involving a paraboloidal trap potential in $D$ space dimensions and generalised to a nonlinearity of order $2n+1$. For {\em attractive} coupling constants collapse of the particle density occurs for $Dn\ge 2$ and typically to a $\delta$-function centered at the origin of the trap. By introducing a new dynamical variable for the spherically symmetric solutions we show that all such solutions are self-similar close to the center of the trap. Exact self-similar solutions occur if, and only if, $Dn=2$, and for this case of $Dn=2$ we exhibit an exact but rather special D=1 analytical self-similar solution collapsing to a $\delta$-function which …

Spin-1 Heisenberg chain and the one-dimensional fermion gas.

1989

The composite-spin representation of the spin-1 Heisenberg chain is used to transform it through the Jordan-Wigner transformation to the one-dimensional fermion gas. To properly include the xy couplings between spins, we also consider the bosonized version of the fermion model. Phase diagrams deduced from the two versions of the fermion model are compared against numerical results for finite Heisenberg chains. One of the symmetries of the spin model is lost in the fermionization, and this leads to a topologically incorrect phase diagram in at least one part of the parameter space. There are clear indications of significant coupling of spin and charge degrees of freedom in the fermion model …

Relativistic density-dependent Hartree approach for finite nuclei.

1992

We develop a relativistic density-dependent Hartree approach for finite nuclei, where the coupling constants of the relativistic Hartree Lagrangian are made density dependent and are obtained from the relativistic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock results of nuclear matter. The calculated results on binding energies and root mean square radii of {sup 16}O and {sup 40}Ca agree very well with experiment. The charge densities from electron scattering are also calculated and their dependence on the nucleon-nucleon interaction is discussed in relation with nuclear matter properties.

Le rôle de la pratique ultérieure des parties dans l'interprétation des arrêts de la Cour internationale de justice à la lumière de l'arrêt de la Cou…

2014

The paper analyses the judgment of the International Court of Justice of November 11, 2013, in which the Court establishes several factors relevant for the interpretation of its judgments. After illustrating the importance of this judgement, the paper criticizes the Court's refrain from any examination of subsequent practice of the Parties in the application of its judgments, as a means of interpretation. Cette contribution analyse l'arrêt de la Cour internationale de justice du 11 novembre 2013, dans lequel la Cour énonce plusieurs éléments pertinents aux fins de l'interprétation de ses sentences. Après avoir mis en lumière l'importance de cet arrêt, une critique est adressée à l'approche …

Autonomie e controlli della Corte dei conti nel quadro dei principi costituzionali e dei vincoli sovranazionali in materia economico-finanziaria

2022

Una riflessione dei controlli sulle autonomie territoriali intestati alla Corte dei conti non può prescindere dal loro inquadramento costituzionale. L’A. prospetta una ricostruzione del controllo come espressione di una funzione neutra e imparziale che deve riposare su precisi parametri costituzionali che ne legittimano l’adozione e di cui va resa una stretta interpretazione: il controllo sulle Autonomie territoriali deve così essere necessariamente una attività tale da avvicinarla a quella giurisdizionale piuttosto che amministrativa. È in tale chiave che deve essere inteso il rapporto fra ausiliarietà di cui all’art. 100 Cost. e controlli sui bilanci ed i rendiconti. L’evoluzione del quad…

Il provvedimento di assegnazione della casa familiare su un immobile ipotecato: quando le ragioni creditorie prevalgono su quelle della famiglia

2018

L'articolo, partendo dall'analisi di una sentenza del Tribunale di Bari, si occupa del provvedimento di assegnazione della casa familiare e della relativa opponibilità al creditore ipotecario che abbia acquistato il suo diritto in base ad atto iscritto anteriormente alla emissione o trascrizione del provvedimento stesso The article, starting from the analysis of a sentence of the Court of Bari, deals with the provision of assignment of the family home and its enforceability to the mortgage lender who has acquired his right on the basis of an act written before the issuance or transcription of the provision same

Factors Affecting Male Song Evolution in Drosophila montana

2005

D. montana (a species of the D. virilis group) has spread over the northern hemisphere, populations from different areas showing both genetic and phenotypic divergence. The males of this species produce an elaborate courtship song, which plays a major role both in species recognition and in intraspecific mate choice. The genetic architecture and physical constraints, as well as the importance of the signal for species recognition, set boundaries within which this signal can vary. Within these limits, courtship song parameters may change, depending on the males' physical condition and on the environment they inhabit. Females are likely to affect song evolution by exerting directional selecti…
