Reliability of Short-Term Heart Rate Variability Indexes Assessed through Photoplethysmography
2018
The gold standard method to monitor heart rate variability (HRV) comprises measuring the time series of interbeat interval durations from electrocardiographic (ECG) recordings. However, due to the widespread use, simplicity and usability of photoplethysmographic (PPG) techniques, monitoring pulse rate variability (PRV) from pulse wave recordings has become a viable alternative to standard HRV analysis. The present study investigates the accuracy of PRV, measured as a surrogate of HRV, for the quantification of descriptive indexes computed in the time domain (mean, variance), frequency domain (low-to-high frequency power ratio LF/HF, HF band central frequency) and information domain (entropy…
Polar Localization of a Tripartite Complex of the Two-Component System DcuS/DcuR and the Transporter DctA in Escherichia coli Depends on the Sensor K…
2014
The C4-dicarboxylate responsive sensor kinase DcuS of the DcuS/DcuR two-component system of E. coli is membrane-bound and reveals a polar localization. DcuS uses the C4-dicarboxylate transporter DctA as a co-regulator forming DctA/DcuS sensor units. Here it is shown by fluorescence microscopy with fusion proteins that DcuS has a dynamic and preferential polar localization, even at very low expression levels. Single assemblies of DcuS had high mobility in fast time lapse acquisitions, and fast recovery in FRAP experiments, excluding polar accumulation due to aggregation. DctA and DcuR fused to derivatives of the YFP protein are dispersed in the membrane or in the cytosol, respectively, when …
Exentos de la fiscalidad del General en el Reino de Valencia. La reivindicación de inmunidad por el clero regular.
2020
Les relacions entre la Generalitat valenciana i el clergat regular experimentaren fortes tensions al segle XVII amb motiu de l’exempció fiscal dels eclesiàstics, especialment els mendicants. L’anàlisi d’aquests conflictes ens permet apropar-nos a la realitat efectiva d’un privilegi fiscal poc conegut en la seua incidència i derivacions.
L'effetto di Montalbano sui flussi turistici nei luoghi letterari e televisivi
2015
Da alcuni anni vari enti regionali erogano a fondo perduto a favore di produzioni cinematografiche o televisive nei loro territori, talvolta attraverso le c.d. Film Commission. Di solito cio viene giustificato dall’impatto occupazionale delle riprese e da quello indotto sul cine-turismo. Obiettivo di questo saggio e misurare l’impatto dei telefilm sui flussi turistici delle localita dove essi sono stati girati, al fine di valutare se tali erogazioni a fondo perduto siano opportune; cio attraverso un’indagine empirica (nel periodo 1982-2013) sull’incremento turistico indotto dalle serie TV con il commissario Montalbano. Confrontando gli arrivi nella provincia di Ragusa, sede delle riprese te…
Aumentare Palermo. Manifesta 12 studios: scenari, progetti e visioni
2018
From june 16th to November 4th , 2018, Manifesta, the european nomadic art Biennial, held Palermo as host city of its 12th edition. Whithin this larger main framework, over the course of two semesters, four international studios from four celebrated schools of architecture have investigated, reflected and proposed future scenarios for the city of Palermo . The works have been displayed in a collective exhibition at the former mill of the Convent of San Antonino – one of UNIPA’s main locations. The University of Palermo has contributed with the project conceived by PalermoLab, a groupment of six design studios (Proff. M. Carta, A. Badami, R. Lecardane, M. Picone, Z. Tesoriere, F. Schilleci) …
Evaluating the effect of organization and context on technical efficiency: a second-stage DEA analysis of Italian hospitals
2022
Objective: the purpose of this study was to compare the technical efficiency of Italian hospitals at a regional level and to examine if differences could be explained by organisational and contextual factors. Technical efficiency was defined as the ability of the operating units evaluated to use optimal resource levels for their level of output.Methods: the effect of external factors was explored through a second stage Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Efficiency scores were calculated for each hospital using the DEA method (Stage I). Through Tobit regression analysis, the estimated efficiency scores were regressed against a set of organisational and contextual characteristics beyond manager…
Independent regulation in the contemporary Italian legal system
2018
According to some comparative studies, contemporary nation states exhibit an apparently impetuous worldwide general convergence toward the establishment of independent regulatory authorities (IRAs) with regard to a wide range of policy sectors (§ 2). In the Italian political system of the so-called First Republic (1948-93), the widespread attitude towards independent regulation used to be unfavourable. IRAs were affected by several obstructing factors which postponed or hindered their creation and undermined the institutionalization and the performance of the few existing ones (§ 3). In recent years some new IRAs were introduced, and some of the existing ones (which in the past had undergon…
Is it me or the music? : Stress reduction and the role of regulation strategies and music
2019
Music is a common resource for the regulation of emotions, moods, and stress. This study aimed at determining the individual and relative impact on stress reduction of two of the main factors involved in musical affect regulation: regulation strategies and music itself. The current study took place in an experimental setting and followed a factorial within-subjects design. First, the participants ( n = 34) filled in an online survey where they identified their self-perceived “adequate”/“inadequate” music examples for the purpose of reducing stress and self-perceived “adequate”/“inadequate” strategies for the same purpose. In the lab they went through a stress induction procedure and then w…

Qualità della vita, regolazione affettiva e capacità resilienza in pazienti adulti affetti da fibrosi cistica
2013
Obiettivo. Noi riteniamo che in pazienti affetti da Fibrosi Cistica (FC) lo studio della qualità della vita (QdV), costrutto strettamente associato al recente miglioramento dei protocolli di cura e all’aumento dell’età media di sopravvivenza, dovrebbe prendere in considerazione anche il ruolo della regolazione affettiva. Con il presente lavoro si intende studiare 1) la relazione tra la qualità della vita, la regolazione affettiva e la capacità di resilienza, ed esplorare 2) la relazione tra i suddetti psicologici e le condizioni mediche dei pazienti affetti da FC. Metodi. Quaranta pazienti maggiorenni afferenti al Centro Regionale FC di Palermo hanno compilato 3 questionari: Cystic Fibrosis…
