Comparison Between Classic and Light Touch Massage on Psychological and Physical Functional Variables in Athletes: a Randomized Pilot Trial
2020
Background: Despite the general belief of the benefits and the widespread use of massage in sport field, there are limited empirical data on possible effectiveness of massage on psychological and physical functional variables.
 Purpose: The main objective of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of classical and light touch massage on psychological and physical functional variables in athletes.
 Setting: Athletic club of Valencia
 Participants: 20 amateur athletes were recruited from two athletic clubs.
 Research Design: A single-blind, randomized, pilot-placebo trial.
 Intervention: The subjects were randomly allocated to two different groups: a) Massa…
The Law of Service Robots
2014
Il settore della robotica attiene alla progettazione e costruzione di un complesso variegato ed eterogeneo di macchine, quali robot, soldati e chirurghi, sistemi automatizzati di trasporto aereo, terrestre e marittimo, applicazioni industriali nell’ambito manifatturiero o nella agricoltura, robotica di servizio e altro ancora. Si tratta di un settore per eccellenza interdisciplinare la varietà di ambiti e applicazioni del quale fa sì che si discuta ancora sulla definizione di robot e su alcune sue proprietà: l’autonomia, l’adattatività o i gradi di interattività. Su queste basi, il problema, attualmente, non è tanto quello di determinare se e in che modo i robot ”agiscano”; la questione ver…

Comparison between moving bed-membrane bioreactor (MB-MBR) and membrane bioreactor (MBR) systems: Influence of wastewater salinity variation
2014
Two pilot plant systems were investigated for the treatment of wastewater subject to a gradual increase of salinity. In particular, a membrane bioreactor (MBR) and a moving bed biofilm membrane bioreactor (MB-MBR) were analyzed. Carbon and ammonium removal, kinetic constants and membranes fouling rates have been assessed. Both plants showed very high efficiency in terms of carbon and ammonium removal and the gradual salinity increase led to a good acclimation of the biomass, as confirmed by the respirometric tests. Significant biofilm detachments from carriers were experienced, which contributed to increase the irreversible superficial cake deposition. However, this aspect prevented the por…
Emotional Competence in Primary School Children: Examining the Effect of a Psycho-Educational Group Intervention: A Pilot Prospective Study
2022
Emotional competence (EC) is a key component of children’s psychological, cognitive, and social development, and it is a central element of learning. The primary goal of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing a psycho-educational group intervention aimed at improving children’s emotional competence (EC), quality of integration and scholastic skills. A total of 229 children (123 females; M Age = 7.22 years; SD = 0.97 years) completed the Pictures of Facial Affect (POFA), the Drawn Stories Technique, the Classroom Drawing, and the Colored Progressive Matrices. The total sample was randomly divided into an intervention group (N = 116) who took part in psycho-educational a…
Scolarisation primaire universelle et pilotage par les résultats dans le contexte africain
2010
Cet article met en évidence que pour rendre compte de l'effectivité de la scolarisation primaire universelle, il est nécessaire d'avoir recours à des indicateurs qui intègrent à la fois la dimension quantitative : quelle est la proportion d'enfants qui suivent une scolarité primaire complète ? Et la dimension qualitative : est-ce que les élèves maîtrisent les compétences de base à l'issu du cycle primaire ? En suivant cette approche, de nouveaux indicateurs peuvent être pris en considération au niveau des systèmes éducatifs. Toutefois, ce questionnement permet de signaler la faiblesse actuelle du pilotage de la qualité de l'éducation dans les systèmes éducatifs africains. S'inspirant de la …

Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Membrane Bioreactors
2017
Nowadays, it is widely accepted that wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are significant sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission, contributing to the anthropogenic sources. Among the GHG emitted from WWTPs, nitrous oxide (N2O) has been identified of having the major interest/concern, since its high global warming potential (GWP), is 298 times higher than that of CO2 and also to its capability to react with stratospheric ozone causing the layer depletion. Up to now, most of the experimental investigations have been carried out on conventional activated sludge (CAS) processes. The knowledge of N2O emission from advanced technologies such membrane bioreactors (MBRs) is still very limited. The…
