The Lègami/Legàmi Service—An Experience of Psychological Intervention in Maternal and Child Care during COVID-19
2021
This study provides a descriptive analysis of the Lègami/Legàmi service, a free psychological support service in maternal and childcare, offered through the internet and by telephone that was initiated by the Italian Society of Pediatric Psychology (S.I.P.Ped.) during the COVID-19 medical emergency as an act of solidarity, first independently, and then in collaboration with the Italian Ministry of Health. This paper presents findings related to the “universe” of people who called the toll-free service, from the sociocultural characteristics of the users to the information collected by the professionals during the psychological pathways until human satisfaction was achieved. We provide a ret…
Descriptive study on subjective experience of genetic testing with respect to relationship, family planning and psychosocial wellbeing among women wi…
2021
AbstractBackgroundDue to increased risk of endometrial and ovarian cancer, women belonging to known Lynch Syndrome (LS) families are recommended to undergo germline testing. Current practice in Finland is to offer counselling to women with pathogenic variant and advocate risk-reducing surgery (RRS) after completion of childbirth. The present study aimed to clarify the impacts of positive germline testing on family planning and reproductive decisions of these women, which are relatively unknown.MethodsSeventy-nine carriers of germline MMR gene pathogenic variant (path_MMR)were identified from the Finnish LS Registry as having genetic testing performed before the age of 45 years and not havin…
Misunderstandings about developmental dyslexia: a historical overview
2020
Developmental dyslexia is a reading disorder unrelated to intellectual disability, inadequate teaching systems or poor motivation for schooling. The first attempts to understand such difficulty of learning to read, connected the problem to a primary ‘visual defect’. Since then, several models have been developed. In the last decades, autopsy and histopathological studies on the brain of developmental dyslexics provided neuroanatomical evidence of structural and morphological differences between the normal and dyslexic brains. Furthermore, neuroimaging studies allowed to understand the neural systems of reading and dyslexia. According to more recent studies, developmental dyslexia appears as…
El pago único de la prestación por desempleo como medio de financiación inicial de las empresas de Economía Social en España
2018
El Real Decreto 1044/85, de 19 de junio, configura la prestación por desempleo mediante pago único como un instrumento para el fomento del empleo. Desde entonces ha sido la base sobre la que se han desarrollado numerosas iniciativas empresariales dentro y fuera de la Economía Social.
 La trascendencia de esta modalidad de prestación para la Economía Social radica, además de en la reducción de la dificultad de financiación, quizás común en todas las figuras empresariales, en el hecho de que estas organizaciones pueden generar mayores efectos en el empleo que el resto. Es por ello por lo que se va a analizar la repercusión de dicha prestación en las empresas de economía social, más concr…
Chronic Mesenteric Ischemia: Critical review and guidelines for management
2011
Background CMI is caused by chronic occlusive disease of mesenteric arteries. In such an uncommon disease, clear recommendations are strongly needed. Unfortunately, treatment options for symptomatic CMI are still controversial and no guidelines exist. Methods A systematic literature review of the last 25-years was conducted through MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Review/Trials register to identify studies reporting on CMI treatment with more than 10 patients. Primary outcomes were perioperative mortality and morbidity rates. Secondary outcomes were survival rates, primary and secondary patency rates, vessels treated, CMI recurrence, follow-up (FU), technical success (TS), and in-hospital leng…
The container of my soul was severed from my shell : Metaphors of Death in Contemporary Finnish Metal Lyrics
2009
Raskaasta rockista ja metallista on tullut tänä päivänä Suomessa ainoana maana maailmassa valtavirtamusiikkia. Metallimusiikin saama suosio on tapahtunut niin nopeasti, että akateeminen maailma on vasta hiljattain havahtunut tutkimaan itse musiikkia ja ilmiötä, ja niissäkin harvoissa tapauksissa tutkimus on yleensä keskittynyt musiikin ääripäiden viittauksista ja mahdollisista yhteyksistä satanismiin tai väkivaltaiseen käytökseen. Englanninkielistä ns. ei-saatanallista metallimusiikkia on tutkittu Suomessa erittäin vähän ja tutkimuksen tarkoituksena olikin omalta osaltaan olla täyttämässä tätä tyhjiötä. Koska suurin yhteinen tekijä metallimusiikin sanoituksissa on kuolema, päädyttiin tässä…
On one-dimensionality of metric measure spaces
2019
In this paper, we prove that a metric measure space which has at least one open set isometric to an interval, and for which the (possibly non-unique) optimal transport map exists from any absolutely continuous measure to an arbitrary measure, is a one-dimensional manifold (possibly with boundary). As an immediate corollary we obtain that if a metric measure space is a very strict $CD(K,N)$ -space or an essentially non-branching $MCP(K,N)$-space with some open set isometric to an interval, then it is a one-dimensional manifold. We also obtain the same conclusion for a metric measure space which has a point in which the Gromov-Hausdorff tangent is unique and isometric to the real line, and fo…
Mappings of finite distortion between metric measure spaces
2015
We establish the basic analytic properties of mappings of finite distortion between proper Ahlfors regular metric measure spaces that support a ( 1 , 1 ) (1,1) -Poincaré inequality. As applications, we prove that under certain integrability assumption for the distortion function, the branch set of a mapping of finite distortion between generalized n n -manifolds of type A A has zero Hausdorff n n -measure.
Metrics Framework for Cycle-Time Reduction in Software Value Creation
2015
Agile software development methodologies driving cycle-time reduction have been shown to improve efficiency, enable shorter lead times and place a stronger focus on customer needs. They are also moving the process development focus from cost-reduction towards value creation. Optimizing software development based on lean and agile principles requires tools and metrics to optimize against. We need a new set of metrics that measure the process up to the point of customer use and feedback. With these we can drive cycle time reduction and improve value focus. Recently the lean startup methodology has been promoting a similar approach within the startup context. In this paper, we develop and vali…
