Estudis i investigacions sobre la introducció del valencià a l'ensenyament
2008
L'article dóna a conéixer algunes de les principals conclusions a què arribaren els diferents treballs i que vénen a coincidir amb les idees de Cummins i d'altres autors pel que fa als avantatges dels Programes d'Educació Bilingüe. S'apunten línies a tindre en compte a l'hora d'investigar al voltant del disseny i duta a terme de Programes d'Educació Trilingüe per als centres d'Educació Primària i Secundària. Així mateix es presenta la revisió dels estudis i investigacions, sobre la introducció del valencià a l'ensenyament realitzats a la Comunitat Valenciana, des de la implantació de la Llei d'Ús i Ensenyament del Valencià, fi ns a l'any 2008. També es descriu quina és la situació del nivel…
How increased pertussis vaccination coverage is changing the epidemiology of pertussis in Italy.
2005
Abstract The epidemiology of pertussis in Italy is described by using data from the statutory notification system and from seroepidemiology studies. Starting from the 1990s, the incidence of pertussis in Italy has shown a sharp decline and is now at the lowest level ever reached. During this time period vaccination coverage has increased from 88% in 1998 to 95% in 2003. In 1996–97, the prevalence of subjects with levels of IgG antibodies against PT greater than 2 EU/ml was 77.6%. The increase in vaccination coverage will probably change the pattern of disease transmission and increase the number of susceptible adults, unless administration of booster doses to adolescents and adults is consi…
Preprocessing methods for nodule detection in lung CT
2005
Abstract The use of automatic systems in the analysis of medical images has proven to be very useful to radiologists, especially in the framework of screening programs, in which radiologists make their first diagnosis on the basis of images only, most of those corresponding to healthy patients, and have to distinguish pathological findings from non-pathological ones at an early stage. In particular, we are developing preprocessing methods to be applied for pulmonary nodule Computer Aided Detection in low-dose lung Multi Slice CT (computed tomography) images.
Validation of the French national health insurance information system as a tool in vaccine safety assessment: Application to febrile convulsions afte…
2013
In the French national health insurance information system (SNIIR-AM), routine records of health claimed reimbursements are linked to hospital admissions for the whole French population. The main focus of this work is the usability of this system for vaccine safety assessment programme. Self-controlled case series analyses were performed using an exhaustive SNIIR-AM extraction of French children aged less than 3 years, to investigate the relationship between MMR immunization and children hospitalizations for febrile convulsions, a well-documented rare adverse event, over 2009-2010. The results suggest a significant increase of febrile convulsions during the 6-11 days period following any MM…
Optimizing strategies for meningococcal C disease vaccination in Valencia (Spain)
2014
Background: Meningococcal C (MenC) conjugate vaccines have controlled invasive diseases associated with this serogroup in countries where they are included in National Immunization Programs and also in an extensive catch-up program involving subjects up to 20 years of age. Catch-up was important, not only because it prevented disease in adolescents and young adults at risk, but also because it decreased transmission of the bacteria, since it was in this age group where the organism was circulating. Our objective is to develop a new vaccination schedule to achieve maximum seroprotection in these groups. Methods: A recent study has provided detailed age-structured information on the seroprote…
An affine scaling method using a class of differential barrier functions: primal approach
2020
International audience; In this paper we propose a family of affine scaling interior point algorithms, called galpv4, using a primal approach, based on a large class of differential barrier functions. We show that these algorithms are in fact an extension and generalization of the classical affine scaling algorithm based on the well-known log barrier function. After carrying out a complete convergence analysis, we select some of these algorithms for comparison with the classical affine scaling algorithm, performed with the help of the familiar Netlib test set.
Effects of an Emotional Education Intervention in Students of University Programs for Older Students
2017
RESUMEN Los programas universitarios para mayores tienen como objetivo la potenciación de las capacidades cognitivas, emocionales y sociales, así como la mejora de la calidad de vida y el bienestar personal. Las competencias emocionales, por su impacto a múltiples niveles, se deben desarrollar y fomentar a lo largo de todo el ciclo vital. No obstante, hasta el momento, en España existen escasos trabajos que implementen programas de intervención de educación emocional para mayores y que al mismo tiempo evalúen empíricamente su posible impacto. El principal objetivo de este trabajo fue examinar el efecto de un programa de educación emocional en alumnos de un programa universitario para mayore…
The accreditation system of Italian medical residency programs: fostering quality and sustainability of the National Health Service
2020
Summary. Background and aim: In June 2017, University and Health Ministries jointly enacted a decree imple-menting a new accreditation system for the Italian post-graduate medical schools (residency programs). We report the innovations introduced through the reform. Methods: Universities were called to submit post-gradu-ate medical school projects to the National Observatory on medical residency programs, the inter-institutional committee responsible for the entire accreditation process, through an interactive web platform. The adherence to minimum standards, requirements and the performances were measured. After this first assessment, universities were asked to provide programs of improvem…
Sustained Adoption of Systematic Physical Activity for Young Elderly : A Developed UTAUT Approach
2020
Health recommendations state that for young elderly systematic physical activi-ties at moderate intensity for at least 150 minutes per week are required to help them stay in good shape for their senior years. We have found that young elderly readily gets started with a physical activity (PA) program but there is some challenge to make them stay with this program. We have learned that a PA program should build on activities that users find meaningful and/or best suited for their history of PA and their present physical capacity. Support from dig-ital services to find meaningful and suitable programs can make a difference. We work out developments of the UTAUT to find drivers that could help …
La Convención de Palermo (UNTOC) y la responsabilidad derivada de delitos de las personas jurídicas: itinerarios e intersecciones del ordenamiento it…
2022
Both the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organised Crime (UNTOC: signed in December 2000 in Palermo) and the Delegation Law no. 300/2000, with its corresponding Legislative Decree no. 231/2001, which jointly introduced in Italy the liability arising from crime for collective entities, mark two "paradigm shifts" for the criminal system. The contribution focuses on the overall value of the two legislative innovations examined in the evolution of criminal law, respectively at the international level and in the Italian context. The interest in analysing their respective contributions is further stimulated by the observation that the two areas, although autonomous, present a sign…
