Good practices and actions for sustainable municipal solid waste management in the tourist sector

2018

This paper deals with waste management in the tourism sector, specifically in the agro-tourism structures. Two regions of Romania and Italy have been considered as case studies in order to promote good practices and actions for sustainable municipal solid waste management.

The adoption of an indicator at the level of the single tourist structure has been proposed to help self-analysis that is aimed at setting the priorities of intervention for improving its environmental sustainability.

Expectations, experiences and attitudes of patients and primary care health professionals regarding online psychotherapeutic interventions for depres…

2013

Abstract Background In the year 2020, depression will cause the second highest amount of disability worldwide. One quarter of the population will suffer from depression symptoms at some point in their lives. Mental health services in Western countries are overburdened. Therefore, cost-effective interventions that do not involve mental health services, such as online psychotherapy programs, have been proposed. These programs demonstrate satisfactory outcomes, but the completion rate for patients is low. Health professionals’ attitudes towards this type of psychotherapy are more negative than the attitudes of depressed patients themselves. The aim of this study is to describe the profile of d…

Para una historia de la administración italiana. Del Estado liberal al Estado fascista

2018

The origins of the Italian Public Administration date back to a time prior to the political birth of Italy. Its history follows an itinerary based on gradual modifications in correspondence with economic, social, political and cultural changes. Between the 19th and the 20th Century, the Italian Public Administration played several roles. Going from being a political instrument to a means of social intervention and/or a vehicle of economic direction, the Italian Public Administration drew its own structures and modified its own roles, according with the constitutional development that leaded Italy from the liberal State to the fascist State. But there was also a technical continuity, which p…

Application of T-Thesys Therapy in post-operative recovery in knee-surgical interventions: A case study

2020

T-Thesys therapy is an innovative treatment that can be used even in the presence of recent injuries. For this reason, we studied the T-Thesys use in the post-operative phase of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction of the knee. For our study, we selected 51 patients for ACL surgery, and we divided participants in two groups: the Experimental Group (EG) and the Control Group (CG). The EG consisted of 34 patients (age: 26.9 ± 7.65 years) who underwent T-Thesys therapy after surgery, while the CG included 17 patients (age: 26.7 ± 6.8 years) who was not subjected to T-Thesys therapy after surgery. T-Thesys therapy was performed on a daily basis and participants' parameters were m…
