Experimental Characterization and Acoustic Correction of a Multipurpose Performance Hall: The Italian Theatre “Cavallino Bianco”
2022
This study presents the retrofit acoustic dq1esign of the Italian theatre “Cavallino Bianco”. In its historical configuration, the hall had a curved roof with a pressed-plant fiber ceiling, which was demolished and replaced with a wooden roof without a false ceiling, leading to an increase in volume and a worsening of the reverberation time. This study proposed the realization of a wave ceiling and the application of sound-absorbing and reflecting panels on the walls, which have already been implemented. These modifications have affected the acoustic characterization of the theatre, as shown both through on-site measurements during the main construction phases and through numerical simulati…
Residential segregation of foreigners: an analysis of the Italian city of Palermo
2015
Ethnic residential segregation in Italy is an emerging key question, which will be crucial in the definition and implementation of both urbanistic and social policies. This paper focuses on this phenomenon in the Italian city of Palermo. We use individual data for all the population residing in the city at 31 December 2011, organized by ethnicity and district. Firstly, we describe the spatial distribution and the residential segregation of foreigners in the city, applying many different segregation measures. Among the others, we also apply the Duncan and Duncan dissimilarity index. Finally, we apply a recent methodological approach, which allows reducing the bias of the Duncan’s index…
An Ethical Perspective on Loot Box Purchasing : Examining Psychosocial Antecedents and the Association with Indebtedness
2023
Loot boxes are popular random reward mechanisms in digital games, attracting players to invest real money to enhance their gaming experiences. Loot boxes share striking similarities to gambling and might contribute to one’s economic strain, but more research is needed on the underlying vulnerabilities and motivational traits in loot box purchasing. This paper examines associations with self-reported increase in loot box purchasing and debt problems during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. International survey data were collected in 2021, consisting of Finnish, Swedish, and British respondents (N = 2,991) aged 18 to 75. Partial least squares modeling was used as an analytical techniqu…
Emotrasfusioni
2016
Il tema delle emotrasfusioni tocca questioni tra le più spinose e di maggiore attualità del diritto contemporaneo, accomunate dalle necessità, per un verso, di promuovere e di incoraggiare la donazione del sangue che, nel contesto unitario europeo, è volontaria e gratuita e, per altro verso, di tutelare il singolo dal contagio di malattie ricollegabile alla somministrazione di sangue infetto. Il tema è poliedrico. Per stare ai profili più rilevanti, esso concerne: 1) il diritto alla salute, sia del donante sia del ricevente la trasfusione e, dunque, i tempi e le forme della tutela previste dall’ordinamento; 2) il diritto all’autodeterminazione del singolo e, dunque, il valore da riconoscers…
The roles of job and worker restructuring in aggregate wage growth dynamics
2019
We propose an approach for measuring and analyzing the dynamics of the standard aggregate wage growth of macro statistics with micro data. Our method decomposes the aggregate wage growth into the wage growth of job stayers and into various terms related to job and worker restructuring. This method produces explicit expressions with clear interpretations for the various restructuring components. Using comprehensive longitudinal employer–employee data, we study how job and worker restructuring influence the aggregate wage growth and its cyclicality. The results highlight the importance of drawing a sharp distinction between job and worker restructuring in the analysis of aggregate wage growth…

Good clinical response, remission, and predictors of remission in rheumatoid arthritis patients treated with tumor necrosis factor-α blockers: The GI…
2007
OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence of good clinical response and remission in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with longstanding disease treated with anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) drugs at outpatient clinics. METHODS: Retrospective national study of 14 academic tertiary referral rheumatology medical centers. RA patients with a Disease Activity Score (DAS28) > 3.2 were defined as having active disease and could start TNF-alpha blockers. All patients received one TNF-alpha blocker plus methotrexate (10-20 mg/wk). At the third month the patients were categorized as responders or nonresponders, based on improvement of at least 0.25 of the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ).…

Olive oil intake and risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality in the PREDIMED Study
2014
[Background] It is unknown whether individuals at high cardiovascular risk sustain a benefit in cardiovascular disease from increased olive oil consumption. The aim was to assess the association between total olive oil intake, its varieties (extra virgin and common olive oil) and the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality in a Mediterranean population at high cardiovascular risk.
PRODUZIONE DI RIFIUTI A RISCHIO INFETTIVO E INDICI DI COMPLESSITÀ IN UN “CENTRO TRAPIANTI”
2015
Questo studio analizza la produzione di rifiuti a rischio infettivo in una grande struttura ospedaliera specializzata per le attività di trapianto: Ismett (Istituto Mediterraneo per i Trapianti e Terapie ad Alta Specializzazione), che si trova a Palermo. Sono state determinate le relazioni fra la quantità e la composizione dei rifiuti, da una parte; la complessità della struttura e la natura delle cure erogate, dall’altra. In letteratura si trovano regolarmente i risultati di ricerche sulla produzione di rifiuti a rischio infettivo nei più diversi Paesi del mondo; i dati pubblicati provengono quasi esclusivamente da Ospedali Generali, anche complessi e di Alta Specializzazione. Tali dati po…
