Autistic Adult Health and Professional Perceptions of It: Evidence From the ASDEU Project
2021
The Autism Spectrum Disorders in the European Union (ASDEU) survey investigated the knowledge and health service experiences of users and providers to generate new hypotheses and scientific investigations that would contribute to improvement in health care for autistic adults. An online survey designed for autistic adults, carers of autistic adults, and professionals in adult services was translated into 11 languages and distributed electronically by organizations and in-country adult service facilities in 2017; 522 autistic adults, 442 carers, and 113 professionals provided answers to the health questions. Professionals, the majority in non-medical services, appeared to be poorly informed …
New combinations in Balearic plants
1997
Se proponen tres nuevas combinaciones nomenclaturales de plantas endémicas de las Islas Baleares: Ranunculus paludosus Poiret subsp. barceloi (Grau) Rosselló, L. Sáez & N. Torres, Omonis crispa L. subsp. zachackei (F. Herm.) Rosselló & L. Sáez y Ophrys bertolonii Morettii subsp. baleárica (Delforge) Rosselló & L. Sáez. Three new nomenclatural changes of vascular plants endemic of the Balearic archipelago are proposed: Ranunculus paludosus Poiret subsp. Barceloi (Grau) Rosselló, L. Sáez & N. Torres, Ononis crispa L. subsp. zschackei (F. Herm.) Rosselló & L. Sáez and Ophrys bertolonii Morettii subsp. baleárica (Delforge) Rosselló & L. Sáez.
Denoising AVIRIS-NG Data for Generation of New Chlorophyll Indices
2021
The availability of Airborne Visible and Infrared Imaging Spectrometer-Next Generation (AVIRIS-NG) data has enormous possibilities for quantification of Leaf Chlorophyll Content (LCC). The present study used the AVIRIS-NG campaign site of Western India for generation and validation of new chlorophyll indices by denoising the AVIRIS-NG data. For validation, concurrent to AVIRIS-NG flight overpass, field samplings were performed. The acquired AVIRIS-NG was subjected to Spectral Angle Mapper (SAM) classifier for discriminating the crop types. Three smoothing techniques i.e., Fast-Fourier Transform (FFT), Mean and Savitzky-Golay filters were evaluated for their denoising capability. Raw and fil…
Analysis of the antibody repertoire in tears of dry-eye patients.
2001
<i>Purpose:</i> It has recently been suggested that dry-eye disease has an underlying autoimmune mechanism. This hypothesis is further supported by the successful treatment of the disease with immunomodulatory drugs such as cyclosporin A. Although it is known that tears contain antibodies, very little is known about the antibody repertoires in tears. It was the aim of this study to analyze the IgA antibody repertoire against ocular antigens in the tears of patients suffering from dry-eye disease and compare it to those of healthy volunteers. <i>Methods:</i> Two groups were examined: 20 healthy volunteers (controls) and 28 patients suffering from dry-eye disease. The …
Il Paradigma della Città Fluida
2013
Nella recente crisi globale i poderosi flussi di capitali finanziari, sociali e relazionali che hanno alimentato la riqualificazione urbana nel corso degli ultimi quindici anni non sono più disponibili ad essere intercettati in maniera indiscriminata così come è stato possibile fino a qualche anno fa. Nell'era della crisi strutturale le città più dinamiche non sono più quelle in grado di attrarre progetti urbani iconici ed investitori spinti dal mercato immobiliare o dalla redditività delle attività ricreative, ma quelle città che, a partire dalle loro profonde e diversificate risorse culturali, saranno capaci di attuare una vera e propria “metamorfosi” per usarle come base per la creazione…
Valutazione partecipata e continuità nei servizi educativi zero-sei: una ricerca-intervento in un quartiere della città di Palermo
2021
RIASSUNTO In questo articolo verrà condotta inizialmente una riflessione sulla funzione della valutazione di contesto sia in termini formativi individuali e di gruppo, sia in termini di cambiamento organizzativo, adottando una prospettiva ecologica e sistemica. Successivamente, attraverso la narrazione di un percorso di ricerca sulla costruzione di un possibile curricolo zero-sei, condotta per tre anni con un gruppo di insegnanti di scuola dell’infanzia statale ed un gruppo di educatrici di un nido comunale operanti nello stesso territorio (un quartiere del centro storico di Palermo), verranno messi in luce e problematizzati ambiti di continuità e di discontinuità tra i due servizi educativ…
Influence of different approaches to the cerebellopontine angle on the function of the intermediate nerve
2007
Object Surgery in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) is a standard procedure at many centers. Outcome is focused mainly on preservation of hearing and facial function postoperatively. The nonmotor part of the facial nerve, the intermediate nerve, is nearly neglected nowadays. Methods A retrospective study was designed, including a questionnaire that was sent to 178 patients who had undergone surgery between 2000 and 2004. Data were obtained in 156 cases. The questionnaire was divided into five parts assessing the presence of increased tearing, reduced tearing, salivation disturbances, increased nasal secretions, and abnormalities in taste. Finally, a self-assessment of patient symptoms was a…
