The impact of remote work and mediated communication frequency on isolation and psychological distress
2022
A massive shift towards remote work practices has presented many organizations and employees with acute challenges associated with multi-locational work. This shift underscores the need to reconsider isolation as one of the focal challenges of organizations in an era of increasingly dispersed and mediated work practices. This study relies on a three-wave survey among Finnish workers to investigate how remote work practices and the use of information and communication technology (ICT) have impacted perceptions of isolation during the global health pandemic, and whether these relationships have an effect on psychological distress. The findings indicate that facilitating the use of ICTs may he…

Il ruolo delle filiere nell’industria italiana: un legame stabile tra il Nord-Ovest e il Meridione
2014
Lo studio si propone di esaminare la relazione dei distretti industriali, del ruolo delle medio-grandi imprese e dell’appartenenza alla macro-area territoriale della “virgola di ponente” con l’inefficienza tecnica attraverso la stima delle frontiere stocastiche di produzione a livello di settori produttivi manifatturieri e dei settori della meccanica nelle differenti regioni italiane nel periodo 2008-2010, utilizzando dati ISTAT. I distretti industriali e la loro evoluzione sono alla base delle considerazioni per un nuovo sistema produttivo. Il sistema basato sulle PMI ha mostrato la sua vulnerabilità e limitatezza in un mercato ormai globale. La trasformazione in impresa-rete per lo svilup…
Beyond the Educational Context: Relevance of Intrinsic Reading Motivation During COVID-19 Confinement in Spain
2021
What role could have intrinsic motivation toward reading in an extraordinary situation like the recent confinement?

Participants were 3,849 adults from Spain who were surveyed about their reading practices: before, during the first weeks, and after several weeks of confinement. Linear mixed effects models (LMMs) were used to analyze data. Results showed a three-way interaction between reading frequency, …

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.
Evoluzione distrettuale di un sistema turistico locale: il ruolo delle politiche di marketing e di meta-management territoriale
2003
Da alcuni anni nel dibattito sullo sviluppo del turismo si è fatto crescente ricorso a concetti quali “sistema turistico”, “sistema turistico locale”, “distretto turistico”; tutti questi termini sottolineano l’importanza della natura intrinsecamente sistemica di tale sviluppo. Il fatto, poi, che proprio nel turismo il territorio è elemento portante della produzione ed è il luogo dove avviene il consumo rende obbligato il ricorso a questo concetto. La fruizione turistica del territorio coinvolge il consumo di asset pubblici, naturali e non, assieme a beni e servizi prodotti da imprese alberghiere, di ristorazione, di ricreazione, di trasporto ecc. Tutte queste attività sono destinate ad offr…
The role of thought suppression and psychological inflexibility in older family caregivers’ psychological symptoms and quality of life
2021
Abstract Background Family caregivers often report high levels of distress, including depressive symptoms, anxiety, and reduced quality of life. There is a need for a greater understanding of the factors influencing, explaining, and maintaining psychological distress in family caregivers. Aim The aim of this study was to examine whether avoidance strategies such as thought suppression (WBSI), psychological inflexibility (AAQ-II), and, and caregiver experiential avoidance (EACQ) predict psychological distress (BDI-II, GAD-7) and quality of life (WHOQOL) in family caregivers aged 60 and over. We hypothesized that these avoidance strategies would explain elevated levels of psychological sympto…
