Proper use of medical language: Main problems and solutions

2015

[EN]: Medical language should be characterized by its precision, emotional neutrality and stability. The effective communication of results of scientific studies depends on compliance with current standards of drafting and style; texts with defects can hinder interest in the findings. In this study, we discuss some of the most common problems and errors in medical language, including the abuse of abbreviations and foreign words, the use of improper words, syntax errors and solecisms, the most common errors in titles and the abuse of capital letters and the gerund. Investigators have effective tools for dealing with these problems, such as quality texts, critical dictionaries of questions an…

The role of informal learning in adults' literacy proficiency

2021

This study used the Programme for International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) dataset to examine informal literacy learning’s effects on adults’ literacy proficiency. Also, the factors associated with informal literacy learning at and outside of work were studied. The study participants were Nordic adults aged 35–65 years. The statistical method was regression analysis, and the results indicate that informal literacy activities at work are associated primarily with occupation, and informal literacy activities outside of work with education, parents’ education and gender. Initial education, occupation, language background and age exerted the strongest estimated associations with r…

Explicit Algorithms for a New Time Dependent Model Based on Level Set Motion for Nonlinear Deblurring and Noise Removal

2000

In this paper we formulate a time dependent model to approximate the solution to the nonlinear total variation optimization problem for deblurring and noise removal introduced by Rudin and Osher [ Total variation based image restoration with free local constraints, in Proceedings IEEE Internat. Conf. Imag. Proc., IEEE Press, Piscataway, NJ, (1994), pp. 31--35] and Rudin, Osher, and Fatemi [ Phys. D, 60 (1992), pp. 259--268], respectively. Our model is based on level set motion whose steady state is quickly reached by means of an explicit procedure based on Roe's scheme [ J. Comput. Phys., 43 (1981), pp. 357--372], used in fluid dynamics. We show numerical evidence of the speed of resolution…

Effects of agricultural drainage systems on sediment connectivity in a small Mediterranean lowland catchment

2018

Traditional drainage systems combining man-made channels and subsurface tile drains have been used since Roman times to control water excess in Mediterranean lowland regions, favouring adequate soil water regime for agriculture purposes. However, mechanization of agriculture, abandonment or land use changes lead to a progressive deterioration of these drains in the last decades. The effects of these structures on hydrological and sediment dynamics have been previously analyzed in a small Mediterranean lowland catchment (Can Revull, Mallorca, Spain, 1.4 km2) by establishing an integrated sediment budget with a multi-technique approach. Moreover, the recent advances in morphometric techniques…

Coibenti per "cappotto" esterno. Valutazione con metodologia LCA

2010

Il settore dell’edilizia riveste un ruolo chiave per le future strategie europee di sostenibilità, in particolare la necessità di migliorare l’efficienza energetica degli edifici è oggi ampiamente riconosciuta e fa parte degli obiettivi del «20-20-20» posti dall’UE per il 2020. Nel presente studio la metodologia LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) è stata applicata alla scala dell’elemento tecnico nel settore edilizio, con riferimento al contesto siciliano. Inoltre sono stati confrontati i principali impatti associati al ciclo di vita di tre sistemi di coibentazione esterna a “cappotto” con polistirene espanso sinterizzato, lana di roccia e sughero espanso autocollato. L’obiettivo dello studio è qu…

Evoluzione della linea di riva: un approccio idraulico per il caso studio della spiaggia di Lido Signorino (Marsala)

2014

L’evoluzione della linea di riva, limite tra terra e mare, è causata dall’interazione fra l’energia del moto ondoso e l’assorbimento di questa da parte della spiaggia. Il moto ondoso e le correnti che evolvono lungo il litorale, e in particolare il frangimento e la risalita delle onde sulla spiaggia, hanno un ruolo determinante nei processi fisici costieri più rilevanti. L'obiettivo di questo studio è stato quello di analizzare le variazioni della posizione della linea di riva di una spiaggia, dissipativa e a debole pendenza localizzata nella costa occidentale siciliana. Tale spiaggia, con un’estensione N-S di circa 3,5 km, ricade a sud della città di Marsala, tra due promontori sui quali s…
