Conspiracy Beliefs Are Related to the Use of Smartphones behind the Wheel
2021
The belief in conspiracy theories predicts behaviors related to public health such as the willingness to receive vaccines. This study applies a similar approach to an aspect of road safety: the use of smartphones while driving. A representative sample of 1706 subjects answered a series of questions related to what can be regarded as erroneous or conspiracy beliefs against restricting or banning the use of smartphones while driving. The results show that those having such conspiracy beliefs reported a greater use of smartphones behind the wheel.
Bicycle Rider Behavior and Crash Involvement in Australia.
2021
This research investigated how behaviours and attitudes of bicycle riders influence crash frequency and severity. The study recruited 1102 Australian bicycle riders for an online survey. The survey comprised questions on demographics, frequency of riding and the number and severity of traffic crashes during the last five years. The survey included the Cycling Behaviour Questionnaire and the Cyclist Risk Perception and Regulation Scale. Overall, there were low levels of errors and violations reported by participants indicating that these behaviours were on average never or rarely exhibited while riding a bicycle. Conversely, participants reported high levels of engagement in positive behavio…
An experimental search for a correlation between outdoor 222Rn concentration and 210Pb activity in air particulate samples
2018
This work was aimed to search for a correlation between outdoor 222Rn air concentration and 210Pb activity in particulate samples collected on a filter. The existence of a correlation could support the hypothesis that both 222Rn and its long-lived product 210Pb are embedded into the same air masses and undergo the same air transport phenomena. Lead-210 activity was determined by means of gamma ray spectrometric measurement carried out a few days after the sampling whereas 222Rn concentration was measured through a commercial monitor. Experimental tests allowed to obtain a weak correlation between 222Rn and 210Pb air concentration as a preliminary result due to high uncertainties of outdoor …
La disciplina della responsabilità amministrativa delle società e degli enti
2010
Il capitolo tratta della disciplina della responsabilità amministrativa delle società e degli enti (D. Lgs. 231/2001), con specifico riguardo agli aspetti economico-aziendali. L’adozione e l’attuazione dei modelli organizzativi possono infatti rappresentare un interessante strumento a supporto della riduzione del rischio generale di impresa, e di controllo dei rischi particolari. Particolare attenzione viene inoltre posta sui più recenti contributi della dottrina giuridica ed economico-aziendale in argomento, e sulla disciplina dell’organismo di vigilanza. Si tratta della versione aggiornata dell'edizione 2010 del volume
Impact of smoking on COVID-19 outcomes: a HOPE Registry subanalysis
2021
BackgroundSmoking has been associated with poorer outcomes in relation to COVID-19. Smokers have higher risk of mortality and have a more severe clinical course. There is paucity of data available on this issue, and a definitive link between smoking and COVID-19 prognosis has yet to be established.MethodsWe included 5224 patients with COVID-19 with an available smoking history in a multicentre international registry Health Outcome Predictive Evaluation for COVID-19 (NCT04334291). Patients were included following an in-hospital admission with a COVID-19 diagnosis. We analysed the outcomes of patients with a current or prior history of smoking compared with the non-smoking group. The primary …

3-4 gadu vecuma bērniem matemātisko priekšstatu sekmēšana didaktiskajās rotaļās
2018
Ludmilas Baltrušunas klasifikācijas darbā “3-4 gadu vecuma bērniem matemātisko priekšstatu sekmēšana didaktiskajās rotaļās” (54 lpp.) mērķis ir teorētiski un praktiski pētīt matemātisko priekšstatu sekmēšanu 3-4 gadu vecuma bērniem didaktiskā rotaļā. Darbā tiek pētīts, kā var sekmēt matemātisko priekšstatu veidošanu bērniem 3-4 gadu vecumā ar didaktisko rotaļu palīdzību. Pirmkārt, tiek izlasīti un apkopoti 30 zinātniskās grāmatas par bērnu attīstību, rotaļām un matemātisko priekšstatu veidošanu. Vērojumu un pētījuma rezultāti apkopoti 7 tabulās un 17 attēlos. Otrkārt, tiek novērtētas bērnu zināšanas pēc 5 kritērijiem un rezultātā izvēlētas divas kritērijus, kuru rādītāji ir vissliktākie pēc…

Tika veikti pētījuma metodiskie r…
The effect of bergamot on dyslipidemia
2016
Abstract Background Statins are the most common used lipid lowering drugs but they may cause adverse effects and despite their well-established therapeutic benefits residual cardiovascular (CV) risk remains. The use of other lipid lowering drugs and nutraceuticals alone or as add-on lipid-modifying therapy can be an option in such cases. Several studies have reported health-related properties of the Citrus fruits, among which bergamot (Citrus bergamia Risso) differs from others by particularly high content of certain compounds. Purpose This narrative review summarizes the current evidence on the effects of bergamot on lipid parameters based on studies involving animals and humans. Main evid…
