Profili penali e problemi politico-criminali dell'intervento multilivello sugli stupefacenti

2014

l contributo esamina alcuni problemi di fondo connessi all’intervento penalistico in materia di stupefacenti, assumendolo quale settore esemplare per indicare la complessità del diritto penale moderno. In particolare, si segnala tanto la difficoltà di ricostruire la prevenzione del relativo fenomeno sociale come affidato a strumenti omogenei, quanto la crisi del ruolo di extrema ratio del diritto penale all’interno di tale articolata serie di interventi. Le principali vicende italiane sulle fondamentali opzioni in materia sono quindi collocate nello scenario internazionale, che condiziona i sistemi giuridici statuali ad una strategia differenziata rispetto ai due versanti del traffico illec…

Patient flows through Valhalla : A survival analysis in the context of short-term care institutions

2019

Master's thesis Business Administration BE501 - University of Agder 2019 Individuals experiencing functional decline may often require some form of assistance in order to reassume their activities of daily living. A common form of rehabilitation is a stay at a short-term institution, yet readmissions to such care facilities often occur. Home-based reablement has surfaced in Norway during the past ten years and aims to assist the user in reaching their own activity goals through a self-committed and intensive program, assisted by health care workers. The objective of this study isinquiring into the patient flows between home-nurse areas and short-term institutions in southern Norway over the…

The Genre System Lens on E-Democracy

2008

Published version of an article published in Scandinavian Journal of Information Systems, 20 (2), 51-82. Also available from the publisher at: http://aisel.aisnet.org/sjis/vol20/iss2/3 E-Democracy aims at enhancing citizen involvement in societal communication and decision making. However, the very ideals of democracy vary while reports of e-democracy in use have often left them undiscussed. Moreover, theoretical works on the potential of information technology (IT) for democratization have often viewed IT as a “black box”, and assumed that technology should create an impact as such. Hence, there is a dearth of research on the interplay between models of e-democracy and actual IT artefacts …

Nursing students' transfer of learning outcomes from simulation-based training to clinical practice: A focus-group study

2019

AbstractBackgroundSimulation-based training is used to develop nursing students’ clinical performance in assessing and managing situations in clinical placements. The use of simulation-based training has increased and become an integrated part of nursing education. The aim of this study was to explore nursing students’ experiences of simulation-based training and how the students perceived the transfer of learning to clinical practice.MethodsEight focus group interviews were conducted with a total of 32 s- and third-year nursing students who participated in a simulation-based training organized as preparation for clinical placement. The transcribed interviews were analysed with thematic ana…

Nursing students' perceptions of combining hands-on simulation with simulated patients and a serious game in preparing for clinical placement in home…

2021

Abstract Background There is a growing demand to provide complex healthcare services in patients' own homes. However, high quality home healthcare clinical placements are often difficult to obtain, and arranging laboratory-based simulations to provide relevant clinical-practical learning experiences for all students is resource intensive. Objectives The aim of this study was to explore nursing students' perceptions of using a blended simulation approach, including hands-on simulation with simulated patients and a video-based serious game, in preparation for their home healthcare clinical placements. Design An exploratory qualitative design using focus group interviews was utilized. Setting …

A Discrete-Time Hazard Model for Loans: Some Evidence from Italian Banking System

2012

Problem statement: The probability of default, PD, is a crucial probl em for banks. In the last years international accords (Basel, Basel 2 an d Basel 3) have incentived banks to adopt objective s systems to evaluating and monitoring risk of defaul t in order to predict PD for new loans based on borrower's characteristics. The aim of this study i s to introduce a discrete survival model to study t he risk of default and to propose the empirical eviden ce by the Italian banking system. Approach: Survival analysis is used if we are interested in w hether and when an event occurs. In this context th e event occurrence represents a borrower's transition from one state, loan in bonis that is not…

Biochar from Waste Derived Fuels as Low-Cost Adsorbent for Waste Hydrocarbons

2020

Abstract The aim of this study is to prove technical feasibility of combined refuse derived fuel (RDF) torrefaction and oily wastewater treatment approach by using RDF derived biochar as a sorption media. Biochars prepared from refuse derived fuels in torrefaction, carbonization and pyrolysis modes were analysed as fuels and as hydrocarbon sorbents. Changes of elemental composition and properties of material during thermal treatment and subsequent washing process have been analysed. Experimental evaluation of sorption behaviour of toluene and diesel fuel on obtained biochar performed. Our results show that torrefaction/carbonization of RDF coupled with the subsequent washing of biochar is a…

LE SEQUENZE T2-FLAIR E DWI NELLA DIAGNOSI DI ENCEFALOPATIA DI WERNICKE NON ALCOOL- CORRELATA

2013

SCOPO DEL LAVORO Valutare l’accuratezza delle immagini T2-FLAIR e DWI nello studio delle lesioni caratteristiche dell’Encefalopatia di Wernicke. MATERIALI E METODI Studio effettuato su donna di 56 anni, affetta da Encefalopatia di Wernicke non alcool-correlata. Nel Dicembre 2011 la paziente è stata sottoposta ad esame RM, utilizzando un tomografo operante a 1,5 T con acquisizione di scansioni sui piani assiale, sagittale e coronale in tecnica Spin-Echo (SE), Fast Spin-Echo (FSE), Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery (FLAIR) e Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI), con sequenze T1 e T2 pesate. L’esame è stato completato dopo infusione e.v. di m.d.c. paramagnetico. L’indagine mostrava la presenza…
