European Society of Cardiology Working Group on Adult Congenital Heart Disease and Study Group for Adult Congenital Heart Care in Central and South E…
2020
Aims To examine the current status of care and needs of adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) services in the Central and South Eastern European (CESEE) region. Methods and results We obtained data regarding the national ACHD status for 19 CESEE countries from their ACHD representative based on an extensive survey for 2017 and/or 2018. Thirteen countries reported at least one tertiary ACHD centre with a median year of centre establishment in 2007 (interquartile range 2002-2013). ACHD centres reported a median of 2114 patients under active follow-up with an annual cardiac catheter and surgical intervention volume of 49 and 40, respectively. The majority (90%) of catheter or surgical interven…
The enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry mission—eXTP
2019
In this paper we present the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry mission - eXTP. eXTP is a space science mission designed to study fundamental physics under extreme conditions of density, gravity and magnetism. The mission aims at determining the equation of state of matter at supra-nuclear density, measuring effects of QED, and understanding the dynamics of matter in strong-field gravity. In addition to investigating fundamental physics, eXTP will be a very powerful observatory for astrophysics that will provide observations of unprecedented quality on a variety of galactic and extragalactic objects. In particular, its wide field monitoring capabilities will be highly instrumental to det…
Tidal gravity observations at Mt. Etna and Stromboli: Results concerning the modeled and observed tidal factors
2009
Continuous gravity observations performed in the last few years, both at Mt. Etna and Stromboli, have prompted the need to improve the tidal analysis in order to acquire the best corrected data for the detection of volcano related signals. On Mt. Etna, the sites are very close to each other and the expected tidal factor differences are negligible. It is thus useful to unify the tidal analysis results of the different data sets in a unique tidal model. This tidal model, which can be independently confirmed by a modeling of the tidal parameters based on the elastic response of the Earth to tidal forces and the computation of the ocean tides effects on gravity, is very useful for the precise t…
Load mismatch of grid-connected photovoltaic systems: Review of the effects and analysis in an urban context
2013
Abstract The mismatch between generated and consumed electricity is a relevant topic of the energy and economic assessment of photovoltaic (PV) systems. Due to the load mismatch some amount of PV electricity may be exported to the grid because the electrical demand is temporarily lower than production, whereas a consumption, which is higher than production and/or that does not match the available PV generation, will require to be supplemented by the public grid electricity. The presence of the load mismatch can cause the effect of disadvantageously purchasing electricity from the grid and/or squandering the unexploited PV energy. If only a very small part of the PV generation is used to sup…
Psychische Belastung und Lebensqualität bei Tinnituspatienten
2012
Tinnitus ist eine Erkrankung mit hoher Pravalenz, welche haufig psychische Storungen nach sich zieht. Mit der vorliegenden Studie sollte untersucht werden, in welchen konkreten Dimensionen die gesundheitsbezogene Lebensqualitat bei Tinnituspatienten eingeschrankt ist, und wie sich diese Einschrankungen wahrend und nach Therapie, einschlieslich einer hyperbaren Sauerstofftherapie, andern. 120 ambulant oder stationar behandelte Patienten mit Tinnitus wurden zu 3 Zeitpunkten untersucht: am Beginn (t1) und am Ende (t2) der 2-wochigen Therapie sowie 4 Wochen danach (t3). Eingesetzt wurden die Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, das Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory und der Lebensqualitatsfra…

Synthesis of Highly Functionalized Fluorinated Cispentacin Derivatives
2012
Fluorinated highly functionalized cispentacin derivatives were synthetised starting from an unsaturated bicyclic b-lactam through C¼C bond functionalization via the dipolar cycloaddition of a nitrile oxide, isoxazoline opening, and fluorination by OH/F exchange.
Children’s Public Participation, Middle-Class Families and Emotions
2014
The article examines the activities of a municipal children's parliament (the TCP) in a middle-sized Finnish town. The article focuses on members of the TCP board and their parents and the emphasis is on parents' views as very little research exists on family background in relation to children's public participation. All the participating families were middle-class, both as self-defined and according to their socioeconomic background. The parents studied detailed different emotions they and their children experienced as members of the children's parliament. The article illustrates that being a middle-class child and participating in civic activities is not an uncomplicated description of pr…
Resting the mind – A novel topic with scarce insights. Considering potential mental recovery strategies for short rest periods in sports
2019
Abstract Both meticulously structured trainig routine as well as specific characteristics of various sports (e.g., swimming, shooting, modern pentathlon) with multiple competition bouts in a single day appear to be mentally demanding and may result in a state of mental fatigue. Due to these multidimensional demands, adequate training and competition recovery is essential. Consequently, the idea of mental recovery embraces the spotlight of research. On training and competition days, short rest periods implemented as a vital part, can be used for mental recovery and can help in assisting athletes to return to baseline levels of mental abilites (e.g., concentration, attention). Sport-specific …
The COVID-19 Crisis: Skills That Are Paramount to Build into Nursing Programs for Future Global Health Crisis
2020
The COVID-19 pandemic started at the end of 2019 and can be considered one of the most difficult health crises of the past century. It has had a devastating effect around the world, not only for public health, but also for the economy, labor market, and other facets of individual and societal life. Health systems have been put under high strain, and health professionals have experienced unusual and stressful work circumstances. With the aim of drawing lessons for nursing education, the present study analyzed, during the weeks of peak infection in Spain, the stress experience and coping strategies of a sample of 403 nurses from the Spanish health system. Specifically, we analyzed how tenure,…
