Assessing Urban Environmental Sustainability by Means of Indicators: The Case of the Heritage Buildings
2002
Man in developed countries is looking for new and more suitable paradigms of a correct evolution, founded on an improved level of quality of life, on a pollution-free environment and on the availability of rising amount of time to be spent in pleasure and cultural activities.
Urban Landscapes and Resilience. Exploring an adaptive design perspective
2017
Il concetto di resilienza in pianificazione è emerso in tempi recenti come un mezzo potente per sostenere la ricerca e l'innovazione sua nella teoria che nella pratica. Partendo da una definizione delle città come sistemi adattivi complessi, organismi viventi in un contesto di non-equilibrio e spazi di intensa interazione e interdipendenza uomo-natura, il contributo intende esplorare il ruolo dei servizi ecosistemici nella costruzione della resilienza urbana. Il cambiamento globale e l'incertezza richiedono un approccio strategico verso la resilienza urbana, attraverso l'adaptive design. Mentre una visione basata sullo stato di equilibrio tende a guardare alla forma urbana ideale, riconosce…

Ureteral stent encrustation: evaluation of available scores as predictors of a complex surgery
2022
Background: Stent Encrustation is an uncommon event (13%) with a significant impact in patients' management. Aim of our study was to evaluate the available grading systems for encrusted stents. Methods: A retrospective analysis of encrusted stents was performed in four Italian centers between 2006 and 2020. Encrusted stents were classified according to four classifications: the Forgotten Encrusted Calcificated (FECal) score, the Kidney Ureter Bladder (KUB) score, the Visual Grading for Ureteral Encrusted Stent Classification and the Encrustation Burden Score (EBS). Classifications were evaluated to predict complex surgery defined as: long operative time (>60min); need of more than one su…
Changes in the receptor profile of the lower urinary tract in the aging male
2004
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of th e most common effects of aging in men. Epidemiologists estimate that about one quarter of all men over 50 years of age suffer from BPH-derived voiding symptoms. Future demographic developments, with higher relative shares of older people, will increase the socioeconomic impact of this disease. Polder et al. (1994) calculated for the Netherlands that the treatment costs of BPH will double by 2035. Office visits for BPH related symptoms increased in the USA from 1.4 million in 1990 to 6 million in 1995, reflecting the increased public awareness of the problem and the increased desire for treatment (Kaplan et al. 1996).
Enhancing the Usability of Telecare Devices
2006
Demographic and sociological changes in the last 50 years have forced Western societies to create services to attend to elderly people in their homes, where they can live within familiar environments. Telecare involves a device plugged into a telephonic network that provides access to teams of professionals who can attend to the needs of the elderly in their homes. These devices have been designed according to the principles of universal design, but the great number of erroneous calls to telecare centers point to the necessity of enhancing the usability of the devices. One analysis of the cognitive functioning of elderly people showed that a possible cause of these errors could be the diffi…
PHILOSOPHICAL INVESTIGATIONS ON INTEGRATIVE COMPLEXITY
2019
Integrative complexity (IC) refers to a psychological construct, a measurement, and an experience. As a construct IC refers to our less than conscious thinking style in the face of difference or disagreement, how we process information, make decisions, solve problems. The cross-culturally validated empirical measurement frame of IC has predictive values. ’Low IC’ indicates a simple thinking style that is rigid and closed, a ’tunnel vision’ way of thinking that cannot respect or recognize different dimensions or perspectives on a topic, predicting destructive conflict or violence. An increasingly complex thinking style is able to ’see the big picture’, to …
La rilevanza degli interessi moratori nel giudizio di usura in astratto
2020
La Sezione I della Cassazione ha rimesso alle Sezioni unite le questioni relative alla rilevanza usuraria degli interessi moratori, alla configurabilità o meno del c.d. principio di simmetria e all’eventuale individuazione di un tasso usura ad hoc per gli interessi moratori. A fronte di tali interrogativi, va rimarcata invece la conformità al sistema della disciplina contro l’usura tanto della rilevanza usuraria degli interessi moratori quanto della necessità della loro valutazione congiunta alle altre voci di remunerazione, di costo o di spesa, cui non osta la mancata inclusione degli interessi moratori all’interno del tasso effettivo globale medio della categoria omogenea di operazioni al…
Interaction between surface plasmon polaritons and molecules in strong coupling limit
2016
Miniaturization of optical elements and their integration to electronic circuits is limited by diffraction limit. It was realized that light being coupled to surface plasmons (SP) can overcome this limit. Employing also optically active molecules in combination with SPs can drive optical circuits to nm-scale and add functionalities. For efficient performance of plasmonic elements involving fluorescent dye molecules investigation of physics behind their interaction is of high priority. In this thesis interaction between surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) and different dye molecules has been studied, especially within strong coupling limit, which brings in totally new physical properties in th…
