Processi resilienti e controversie culturali nel care leaving
2022
The work moves in the field of applied anthropology and addresses the issue of the resilience of care leavers: young people who, after a long stay within residential structures, are preparing to enter society at the age of eighteen. Considering that resilient processes are not without pitfalls and threats, some conceptual axioms are proposed that are useful for considering the multi-dimensionality and cultural relativity that revolve around the resilient process within residential communities. All this will take place within a socio-cultural research and intervention perspective based on participatory and bottom-up approaches aimed at encouraging negotiation practices and settings between m…
The trouble with vulnerability. Narrating ageing during the COVID-19 pandemic
2023
In this paper, we have used the exceptional circumstances created by the COVID-19 pandemic as a window for investigating the ambivalent, stereotypical and often-incongruent portrayals of exceptional vulnerability and resilient self-management that define the self-constructions available for older adults. From the onset of the pandemic, older adults were publicly and homogenously presented as a biomedically vulnerable population, and the implementation of restrictive measures also raised concerns over their psychosocial vulnerability and wellbeing. Meanwhile, the key political responses to the pandemic in most affluent countries aligned with the dominant paradigms of successful and active ag…
The changing paradigm of document delivery : exploring researchers’ peer to peer practices
2016
Purpose By definition, interlibrary lending is a process involving two libraries. The digital revolution changed the method by which the scientific documents were disseminated during the past couple of decades. Nowadays, researchers can exploit several software applications that enable them to upload, save and deliver their documents from one peer to another without the need for a middle man. This paper reviews this change via a study conducted in two Finnish academic universities. The aim of this study was to determine the extent to which researchers have adopted these new possibilities for document dissemination and how this change will affect the role of the libraries in document delive…
Efficiency of COVID-19 Testing Centers in Iran: A Data Envelopment Analysis Approach
2022
AbstractObjective:The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficiency of the Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) in managing their nonmonetary resources involved in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) response.Methods:For this purpose, the data envelopment analysis approach was used to measure the efficiency, considering the number of personnel and vehicles and screened passengers as the input and output parameters, respectively. It was examined the efficiency of 10 IRCS’s branches given 17 d of screening operation. For the analysis, the DEA SolverPro software 15a version was used.Results:The results show that only 1 branch had been fully efficient in using the resources, while 5 bra…
RSV disease in infants and young children: Can we see a brighter future?
2022
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a highly contagious seasonal virus and the leading cause of Lower Respiratory Tract Infections (LRTI), including pneumonia and bronchiolitis in children. RSV-related LRTI cause approximately 3 million hospitalizations and 120,000 deaths annually among children <5 years of age. The majority of the burden of RSV occurs in previously healthy infants. Only a monoclonal antibody (mAb) has been approved against RSV infections in a restricted group, leaving an urgent unmet need for a large number of children potentially benefiting from preventive measures. Approaches under development include maternal vaccines to protect newborns, extended half-life monoclon…
Prevedibilità del danno da inadempimento e interessi sottesi al rapporto obbligatorio
2014
La discordanza di risposte che a tutt’oggi si registra fra gli interpreti relativamente ad alcuni quesiti che solleva l’art. 1225 c.c. suggerisce una diversa analisi della norma. La determinazione dei danni prevedibili che il debitore deve risarcire in caso di inadempimento non può prescindere dall’identificazione della fonte dell’obbligazione e in particolare, qualora essa sia un contratto a prestazioni corrispettive, dall’individuazione dell’intero contenuto e di tutte le circostanze dello specifico contratto preso in esame, delle qualità delle parti e soprattutto degli interessi che ciascun contraente vuole soddisfare in cambio della propria prestazione. The discrepancy existing between …

Los problemas de agencia en las relaciones político-ciudadano dentro del régimen constitucional español contemporáneo
2018
Desde la transición política y con la firma de la constitución española de 1978 se han ido perpetrando ciertos problemas estructurales que han dificultado la representatividad de los ciudadanos así como la confianza en el agente que ha de representarles; de modo que la soberania popular se ha visto secuestrada por la burocracia de partidos que ha pasado a dictar la voluntad del pueblo. En esta investigación se lleva a cabo un repaso de los múltiples escollos que nuestra Carta Magna consagra, y se realiza un análisis de la coherencia interna respecto a la propia Constitución y los valores que en ella se promulgan.
Introdução. O Crime dos Poderosos e os Riscos para a Democrazia
2010
L’ingresso nel sistema transnazionale delle reti criminali non ha lasciato inalterato l’assetto organizzativo di quelle organizzazioni che sono riuscite a realizzarlo contribuendo a diversificare le loro attività e incidendo anche sulla loro immagine pubblica. Aumentano, infatti, le occasioni, le forme e le modalità di reciproca integrazione con la società civile, anche solo in termini di offerta di lavoro e di consumi. Insieme a nuove opportunità di occupazione per criminali professionisti, esse offrono prodotti e servizi ai cittadini. Del resto, l’integrazione con il sistema legale è molto più semplice, laddove si disponga di alleanze solide con il sistema politico ed economico. Nel tempo…
Maintenance of anticoagulant and antiplatelet agents for patients undergoing vitreoretinal surgery
2009
International audience; Purpose: To establish the prevalence of anticoagulant, aspirin, and clopidogrel use in patients undergoing vitreoretinal surgery, and to compare the outcome of peribulbar anesthesia between users and non-users. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective case series in one academic center between January and June 2009. We analyzed the chart of 239 eyes who underwent posterior segment surgery with peribulbar anesthesia. Data included age, reasons for anticoagulant and/or antiplatelet agents, operative procedure, history of diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, axial globe length, pre and post operative visual acuity, complications rates during and after anes…
