A Rule-Based Method to Model Myocardial Fiber Orientation for Simulating Ventricular Outflow Tract Arrhythmias
2017
Comunicació presentada a: FIMH 2017 9th International Conference, celebrada a Toronto, Canadà, de l'11 al 13 de juny de 2017. Myocardial fiber orientation determines the propagation of electrical waves in the heart and the contraction of cardiac tissue. One common approach for assigning fiber orientation to cardiac anatomi- cal models are Rule-Based Methods (RBM). However, RBM have been developed to assimilate data mostly from the Left Ventricle. In conse- quence, fiber information from RBM does not match with histological data in other areas of the heart, having a negative impact in cardiac simulations beyond the LV. In this work, we present a RBM where fiber orientation is separately mode…
Proximal Tibiofibular Joint Reconstruction With Autogenous Semitendinosus Tendon Graft
2013
Isolated and chronic anterolateral instability of the proximal tibiofibular joint (TFJ) is an uncommon condition, generally linked to an unrecognized or unhealed dislocation of the TFJ. Clinically, abnormal anterior movement of the head of the fibula is detected. In acute injuries conservative management should be preferred, whereas surgical treatment have been advocated in patients with chronic TFJ instability. Authors describe a new surgical reconstruction technique for chronic instability of the proximal TFJ using an autogenous semitendinosus tendon. The graft is passed through fibular and tibia tunnels and fixed with 2 interference screws. The tibial tunnel is reamed from the posterolat…
Marginal bone loss in relation to platform switching implant insertion depth: an update
2011
A review is made, analyzing marginal bone loss in relation to the depth of implant insertion with platform switching, according to the position of the neck (supracrestal, crestal or subcrestal), and evaluating survival of the implants. A PubMed search was made of the studies in animals and humans published between 2005 and 2011, specifying platform insertion depth (supracrestal, crestal or subcrestal) and registering marginal bone loss from the time of prosthetic restoration to the end of follow-up (minimum 6 months). A total of 30 studies were included. The bone loss associated with implants placed at supracrestal level was slightly smaller than in the case of implants placed at subcrestal…
Relational long-term breastfeeding
2021
This article uses a relationality-sensitive perspective to analyse long-term breastfeeding. The data was gathered through open invitations to write, and the article is based on the written reflections of 39 long-term breastfeeding Finnish mothers. In Finland, the breastfeeding of babies is strongly supported, but long-term breastfeeding (over 12 months) is a more conflicted issue, and the cultural norm of one year of breastfeeding is strong. Through qualitative content analysis, the article shows how mothers reflect on long-term breastfeeding’s effects on their relations with their breastfed children, partners (if any), relatives and healthcare professionals. The findings show that long-ter…
Progressive Web Apps for the Unified Development of Mobile Applications
2018
Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) allow for web applications to be developed in an offline-first approach. While Web apps traditionally did not properly function without an Internet connection, PWAs enable them to be downloaded, installed and used offline on various systems, including mobile devices and personal computers. We present an introduction to the state-of-art in research and practice. Based on this, we discuss various underlying concepts and technologies. Then, we scrutinize and compare PWAs against cross-platform app development approaches on both technical and overarching aspects. A list of suggestions for future research is also presented. We urge academia to keep up with the latest …

La democrazia del capitale umano
2011
Uno studio sull'acquisizione del capitale umano quale nuova specifica di cittadinanza nell'epoca del postfordismo
Generazioni precarie. Formazione e lavoro nella realtà dei call center.
2011
Il call center come fabbrica linguistica, modello postfordista di fabbrica, paradigma di una preoccupante precarizzazione della forza lavoro giovanile. A partire da una inchiesta su alcuni call center di Palermo, il testo affronta il tema della relazione tra formazione e lavoro nonché quello delle trasformazioni del modello di produzione contemporanea.
A hardware skin-segmentation IP for vision based smart ADAS through an FPGA prototyping
2017
International audience; In this paper we presents a platform based design approach for fast HW/SW embedded smart Advanced Driver Assistant System (ADAS) design and prototyping. Then, we share our experience in designing and prototyping a HW/SW vision based smart embedded system as an ADAS that helps to increase the safety of car's drivers. We present a physical prototype of the vision ADAS based on a Zynq FPGA. The system detects the fatigue state of the driver by monitoring the eyes closure and generates a real-time alert. A new HW/SW codesign skin segmentation step to locate the eyes/face is proposed. Our presented new approach migrates the skin segmentation step from processing system (S…
