The utilization of primary healthcare services among frail older adults – findings from the Helsinki Birth Cohort Study
2022
Abstract Background The impact of frailty on primary healthcare service use, especially general practice office visits and remote contacts, is currently unknown. Further, little is known about the association of frailty with physiotherapy contacts. Methods We examined the utilization of primary healthcare services among 1064 participants from the Helsinki Birth Cohort Study between the years 2013 and 2017. Frailty was assessed based on Fried’s frailty criteria at mean age of 71.0 (2.7 SD) years in clinical examinations between the years 2011 and 2013. General practice office visits and remote contacts, the total number of general practice contacts, physiotherapy contacts, and the total numb…

Effects of home-based physical exercise on days at home, healthcare utilization and functional independence among patients with hip fractures : a ran…
2021
Objective To evaluate the effects of a physical exercise program on days lived at home, the use and costs of healthcare and social services mortality and functional independence among patients with hip fractures. Design Randomized controlled trial with parallel two-group design, consisting of a 12-month intervention and 12-month registry follow-up. Setting Home-based intervention. Participants Patients with operated hip fracture, living at home, aged ≥60 years, randomized into physical-exercise (n=61) or usual-care (n=60) groups. Intervention Supervised physical exercise twice a week. Main Outcome Measures The primary outcome was the number of days lived at home over 24 months. Secondary ou…

Il progetto per la conservazione dell'architettura storica nelle tesi di laurea di restauro
2017
La trasmissione dei valori, per la conservazione dell’architettura, della città storica e del paesaggio, o delle testimonianze che con il tempo hanno assunto valore di documento delle civiltà che ci hanno preceduto, avviene per l’impegno dei docenti di Restauro dei Monumenti. Dai principi condivisi scaturisce una specifica metodica che desidera assicurare per questa generazione, ma soprattutto per quelle che ci seguiranno, il mantenimento del patrimonio architettonico e ambientale, quale lascito collettivo da tramandare nei secoli. Nel saggio s’indaga lo strumento, fondamentale della didattica del Restauro dei Monumenti, rappresentato dalle tesi di laurea di Restauro, così come si è andato …
Il Tesoro della Matrice Nuova di Castelbuono nella Contea dei Ventimiglia
2005
Il prezioso e in gran parte inedito corpus di suppellettili argentee della Chiesa Madre di Castelbuono, legato alla committenza della famiglia Ventimiglia analiticamente indagata, viene schedato secondo la più attuale metodologia catalografica e storico critica. La monografia è compendiata da un catalogo dove ciascun manufatto è descritto e contestualizzato nella temperie stilistica di riferimento, evidenziando le influenze artistiche nazionali ed internazionali. La rassegna di opere d’arte proposte nel volume copre un arco cronologico che va dal 1338 al XIX secolo. Vengono inoltre suggerite linee guida per una eventuale musealizzazione
DEVELOPMENT OF A TEST FOR EVALUATING THE CONCEPTUAL KNOWLEDGE OF CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS AND ITS APPLICATION TO SPANI…
2014
This article outlines a procedure that was used to develop a written test for evaluating the conceptual knowledge of chemical equilibrium constant among university students. The concepts in the subject matter were carefully defined through propositional statements. Students' understanding of the topic was determined through interviews. These data were used to produce nine multiple choice questions. Each question was designed to identify misconceptions related to the chemical equilibrium constant. The test was evaluated by foure associate professors and was administred to a total of 196 spanish university students. This test has a Cronbach's alpha reliability of 0.63 and its content validity…
Feasibility of conductive embroidered threads for I 2 C sensors in microcontroller-based wearable electronics
2023
Abstract In recent years, the importance of flexible and textile electronics in the field of wearable devices has continuously increased, as they are expected to replace conventional wires that exhibit limited resistance to the mechanical stress occurring in on-body applications. Wearable health devices (WHDs) can provide physiological information about various body parts and employ distributed sensor networks. Among the sensors typically integrated within WHDs, those based on the I2C communication protocol are very common and exploit signals transmitted at frequencies up to hundreds of kilohertz. Therefore, robust communication is required to guarantee a proper transmission of the signal a…
