La difficile “via della conciliazione” nel processo civile italiano. Una storia di equivoci terminologici e concettuali
2011
1) La difficile “via della conciliazione” nel processo civile italiano - una storia di equivoci terminologici e concettuali L’indagine muove da una breve esegesi storica dei rapporti tra conciliazione e processo civile italiano, a partire dal Regno delle due Sicilie fino al d.lgs. 28/2010. Nei primi due capitoli si esamina la figura del conciliatore borbonico e le sue progressive evoluzioni, con l’avvento del Regno d’Italia, verso un organo sempre più giurisdizionale (quale fu il giudice conciliatore sotto il codice del 1865 e il codice del 1940), fino all’attuale giudice di pace, le cui funzioni di conciliatore in sede stragiudiziale, sono pressoché atrofizzate. Si esamina, quindi, la conc…
L'efficacia esecutiva del verbale di conciliazione
2011
L’indagine affronta, al primo paragrafo, taluni specifici problemi correlati alla qualificazione - da tenere ferma nonostante le spesso infelici scelte normative - del verbale di conciliazione come titolo esecutivo “stragiudiziale”. Al secondo ed al terzo paragrafo vengono esaminate le difficoltà interpretative connesse alla scelta di subordinare l’efficacia del titolo esecutivo ad un procedimento di omologazione. Si affrontano, quindi, i profili problematici correlati al procedimento di omologazione, ed ai limiti del controllo giurisdizionale in questa fase. Ci si interroga - infine - sulla probabile non omologabilità (e comunque sull’inefficacia come titolo esecutivo) di un verbale di “co…
Automated approach for indirect immunofluorescence images classification based on unsupervised clustering method
2018
Autoimmune diseases (ADs) are a collection of many complex disorders of unknown aetiology resulting in immune responses to self-antigens and are thought to result from interactions between genetic and environmental factors. ADs collectively are amongst the most prevalent diseases in the U.S., affecting at least 7% of the population. The diagnosis of ADs is very complex, the standard screening methods provides seeking and recognizing of Antinuclear Antibodies (ANA) by Indirect ImmunoFluorescence (IIF) based on HEp-2 cells. In this paper an automatic system able to identify and classify the Centromere pattern is presented. The method is based on the grouping of centromeres present on the cell…
The Role of Satisfaction With Job and Cognitive Trauma Processing in the Occurrence of Secondary Traumatic Stress Symptoms in Medical Providers Worki…
2022
Introduction: As an occupational group, medical providers working with victims of trauma are prone to negative consequences of their work, particularly secondary traumatic stress (STS) symptoms. Various factors affect susceptibility to STS, including work-related and organizational determinants, as well as individual differences. The aim of the study was to establish the mediating role of cognitive trauma processing in the relationship between job satisfaction and STS symptoms among medical providers.Procedure and Participants: Results were obtained from 419 healthcare providers working with victims of trauma (218 nurses and 201 paramedics). Three questionnaires, namely the Secondary Trauma…
Data from: Temporal structure of human gaze dynamics is invariant during free viewing
2016
We investigate the dynamic structure of human gaze and present an experimental study of the frequency components of the change in gaze position over time during free viewing of computer-generated fractal images. We show that changes in gaze position are scale-invariant in time with statistical properties that are characteristic of a random walk process. We quantify and track changes in the temporal structure using a well-defined scaling parameter called the Hurst exponent, H. We find H is robust regardless of the spatial complexity generated by the fractal images. In addition, we find the Hurst exponent is invariant across all participants, including those with distinct changes to higher or…
Data from: Pairing context determines condition-dependence of song rate in a monogamous passerine bird
2013
Condition-dependence of male ornaments is thought to provide honest signals on which females can base their sexual choice for genetic quality. Recent studies show that condition-dependence patterns can vary within populations. Although long-term association is thought to promote honest signalling, no study has explored the influence of pairing context on the condition-dependence of male ornaments. In this study, we assessed the influence of natural variation in body condition on song rate in zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata) in three different situations: during short and long encounters with an unfamiliar female, and within heterosexual mated pairs. We found consistent individual differe…
Isolation of nuclei and downstream processing of cell-type-specific nuclei from micro-dissected mouse brain regions – techniques and caveats
2020
AbstractThe mammalian brain consists of several structurally and functionally distinct regions equipped with an equally complex cell-type system. Due to its relevance in uncovering disease mechanisms, the study of cell-type-specific molecular signatures of different brain regions has increased. The rapid evolution of newer and cheaper sequencing techniques has also boosted the interest in cell-type-specific epigenetic studies. In fact, the nucleus holds most of the cell’s epigenetic information and is quite resistant to tissue dissociation processes as compared to cells. As such, nuclei are continually preferred over cells for epigenetic studies. However, the isolation of nuclei from cells …
Artificial Neural Network Based Abdominal Organ Segmentations: A Review
2015
There are many neural network based abdominal organ segmentation approaches from medical images. Computed tomography images were mostly used in these approaches. Applied techniques are usually based on prior information regarding position, shape, and size of organs in these methods. In the literature, there are only a few neural network based techniques that were implemented to segment abdominal organs from magnetic resonance based images. In this paper, we present these methods and their results.
Flip-angle measurement by magnetization inversion: Calibration of magnetization nutation angle in hyperpolarized 3 He magnetic resonance imaging lung…
2010
The aim of this work was to establish a new, fast, and robust method of flip-angle calibration for magnetic resonance imaging of hyperpolarized 3He. The method called flip-angle measurement with magnetization inversion is based on acquiring images from periodically inverted longitudinal magnetization created using the spatial modulation of magnetization technique. By measuring the width of the area where the magnetization was inverted by the spatial modulation of magnetization preparation in phase images, the flip angle can be generated using a simple equation. To validate and establish the limits of the proposed method, flip-angle measurement with magnetization inversion acquisitions were …
A fourier-based algorithm for micro-calcification enhancement in mammographic images
2008
Breast cancer is the most widespread cancer in women in the world; it manifests mostly in two forms: microcalcifications and massive lesions. These two forms differ in density, size, shape and number. Consequently, there are two different kinds of mammographic CAD algorithms: those for microcalcifications detection, and those for massive lesions detection. The microcalcifications detection is a hard task, since they are quite small and often poorly contrasted against the background, especially in images affected by digitization noise. In a CAD system the ROI Hunter plays an important role, because missed microcalcifications at this level are definitely lost. For this reason, highlighting me…
