Material deprivation of foreigners in Italy
2013
According to the official Eurostat measure, material deprivation is particularly high among foreigners. But do each deprivation item have the same importance? Are there differences in material deprivation across regions? Is there homogeneity of items’ incidence across regions? In this paper we propose a weighted index of material deprivation (Individual Material Deprivation Index-IMDI) that takes into account the different importance assigned to each of the 9 Eurostat items’ of deprivation in the different geographical areas. We use our weighed index to compare levels of material deprivation of foreign (both in terms of distribution and intensity), to study the differences among nationaliti…
Surface AFM microscopy of unworn and worn samples of silicone hydrogel contact lenses
2008
Abstract: Purpose. To evaluate the qualitative and quantitative topographic changes in the surface of worn contact lenses (CLs) of different materials using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Methods. The topography of five different CL materials was evaluated withAFM over a surface of 25 lm2 according to previously published experimental setup. Average roughness (Ra) and root mean square (Rms) values were obtained for unworn and worn samples. Results. The Ra value increased for balafilcon A (11.62–13.68 nm for unworn and worn samples, respectively), lotrafilcon A (3.67–15.01 nm for unworn and worn samples, respectively), lotrafilcon B (4.08–8.42 nm for unworn and worn samples, respectively), g…
Individual variance in responsiveness to early computerized mathematics intervention
2015
Abstract We examined the effects of short, intensive computerized intervention in early number skills for kindergarteners with poor addition skills (below 1.5 SD ). The mathematical content of the software was hierarchically organized, starting from one-to-one correspondence, comparing and ordering, and proceeding via number concept and counting to basic addition. The results showed positive within-group effects for basic addition (Wilcoxon ES ( r ) = .59), verbal counting (.56), and the Number Sets Test (.45; see Geary, Bailey, & Hoard, 2009 ). The effects remained stable over a 9-week follow-up period. However, there was no significant between-group difference in terms of gain scores as c…
Inference based on the affine invariant multivariate Mann–Whitney–Wilcoxon statistic
2003
A new affine invariant multivariate analogue of the two-sample Mann–Whitney–Wilcoxon test based on the Oja criterion function is introduced. The associated affine equivariant estimate of shift, the multivariate Hodges-Lehmann estimate, is also considered. Asymptotic theory is developed to provide approximations for null distribution as well as for a sequence of contiguous alternatives to consider limiting efficiencies of the test and estimate. The theory is illustrated by an example. Hettmansperger et al. [9] considered alternative slightly different affine invariant extensions also based on the Oja criterion. The methods proposed in this paper are computationally more intensive, but surpri…
Multivariate Nonparametric Tests
2004
Multivariate nonparametric statistical tests of hypotheses are described for the one-sample location problem, the several-sample location problem and the problem of testing independence between pairs of vectors. These methods are based on affine-invariant spatial sign and spatial rank vectors. They provide affine-invariant multivariate generalizations of the univariate sign test, signed-rank test, Wilcoxon rank sum test, Kruskal–Wallis test, and the Kendall and Spearman correlation tests. While the emphasis is on tests of hypotheses, certain references to associated affine-equivariant estimators are included. Pitman asymptotic efficiencies demonstrate the excellent performance of these meth…

Two-dimensional parametric parenchymal blood flow in transarterial chemoembolisation for hepatocellular carcinoma: perfusion change quantification an…
2020
Aim To evaluate the feasibility and potential value of two-dimensional (2D) parametric parenchymal blood flow (2D-PPBF) for the assessment of perfusion changes during transarterial chemoembolisation with drug-eluting beads (DEB-TACE) and to analyse correlations of 2D-PPBF parameters and tumour response. Materials and methods Thirty-two patients (six women, 26 men, mean age: 67±8.9 years) with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who underwent their first DEB-TACE were included in this study. To quantify perfusion changes using 2D-PPBF, the acquired digital subtraction angiography (DSA) series were post-processed. Ratios were calculated between the reference region of interest (ROI) a…
Evaluación de la eficacia de la administración del antioxidante n-acetilcisteína en pacientes trasplantados de hígado
2018
El trasplante hepático(TH) es el tratamiento de elección en las enfermedades hepáticas en estadio terminal, sin embargo, el desequilibrio entre el número de donantes y pacientes en lista de espera ha conducido a las diferentes unidades de trasplante a la utilización de injertos procedentes de donantes con criterios extendidos. Esta práctica, se ha traducido en una reducción de la tasa de mortalidad entre los pacientes en lista de espera, a expensas de un aumento de las complicaciones post-trasplante, como la disfunción temprana del injerto. Dicha complicación influye negativamente tanto en la evolución del paciente como del injerto después del traplante. Sin embargo, sigue sin existir actua…
Juan Rodolfo Wilcock: un ejemplo de transculturación y marginalidad en la literatura argentina e italiana
2010
Juan Rodolfo Wilcock fue un miembro muy activo de la generación de poetas argentinos del cuarenta y el más claro representante del intimismo neorromántico y el sentimentalismo melancólico. Pero la deriva política y cultural en Argentina provocó su exilio voluntario en Italia en 1957 y la adopción de una nueva patria lingü.stica. El cambio de lengua supuso un rumbo positivo en su obra en el ámbito de la originalidad, además de la posibilidad de remodelar su estilo y explorar nuevas vías. Wilcock, como exiliado y extranjero, muestra una literatura liberada de las ataduras de una tradición cultural y se acerca a los temas europeos con total irreverencia. Su condición de heterodoxo y marginal l…
