Una sola moltitudine
2019
Una sola moltitudine, così venne intitolata una raccolta di scritti del portoghese Fernando Pessoa, adoperando una definizione che è un ossimoro e ben si addice a un progetto complesso come One of a type. Attraverso la costruzione di un alfabeto, e quindi con l’unicità di una famiglia di glifi e la molteplicità delle loro forme, viene disegnata l’identità visiva della città di Palermo, contemporanea e profondamente antica, desiderosa di futuro e stratificata nel tempo. Non è più bastevole un solo segno per comunicare l’identità della città e del territorio a cui si riferisce. Può però forse esserlo un sistema complesso come quello definito da un alfabeto, che si presta a essere adoperato, f…
Do Older Employees Suffer More from Work Intensification and Other Intensified Job Demands? Evidence from Upper White-Collar Workers
2019
Background: Working life today is characterized by acceleration and intensification due to social, and particularly technological, acceleration affecting the whole of society. These phenomena also affect working life by intensifying job demands, possibly imposing new job stressors on the workforce. At the same time workforce is aging, raising a question how older employees manage to cope with these work life changes. Methods: This study examined intensified job demands and their effects on occupational well-being from the age perspective utilizing Finnish survey data from upper white-collar workers (N = 2,200). Data was analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance and hierarchical reg…
Posting and agency work in British construction and hospitality: the role of regulation in differentiating the experiences of migrants
2017
This article engages with IHRM debates on the transnational regulation of labour, exploring how migration policy and work fragmentation affect employment dynamics in multi-employer settings. It dra...
Agency of labour in a flexible pan-European labour market : a qualitative study of migrant practices and trade union strategies in the Netherlands
2015
Regulatory frameworks on intra-EU mobility and flexible cross-border employment relations have stimulated competition on labour costs by recruiting migrants via cheaper labour market regimes. While it allows firms to remunerate migrants under different terms and conditions, blurring regulatory boundaries also generates opportunities for non-compliance, resulting in violations of migrant labour rights across Europe. Against this background, this thesis explores the agency of labour, more specifically of temporary migrant workers and unions, and the ways they cope with and respond to the competitive dynamics of the pan- European labour market. This study draws on 90 qualitative interviews wit…
Técnicas de Evaluación en educación primaria y secundaria
2022
La evaluación en el aula es una acción imprescindible en el sistema educativo y por ende en la enseñanza. El gran desafío que se plantea en nuestro sistema educativo es la evaluación del alumnado en el aula, cómo mejorar la evaluación del alumnado dentro del sistema educativo. Esta simple pero tan profunda cuestión, cómo mejorar la evaluación, implica un esfuerzo de toda la comunidad educativa. Realizar una investigación respecto a la evaluación implica enfrentarse a un gran titán, ya que el estudio de la evaluación es un gran reto de la sociedad actual. Al hablar del modo en que se realiza la evaluación en el aula, se involucra a multitud de agentes: profesorado, alumnado, familia, sistema…
Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) in patients with major trauma and uncontrolled haemorrhagic shock: a systematic rev…
2021
AbstractBackgroundMultiple studies regarding the use of Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) in patients with non-compressible torso injuries and uncontrolled haemorrhagic shock were recently published. To date, the clinical evidence of the efficacy of REBOA is still debated. We aimed to conduct a systematic review assessing the clinical efficacy and safety of REBOA in patients with major trauma and uncontrolled haemorrhagic shock.MethodsWe systematically searched MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE and CENTRAL up to June 2020. All randomized controlled trials and observational studies that investigated the use of REBOA compared to resuscitative thoracotomy (RT) with/witho…
Real-world experience with obeticholic acid in patients with primary biliary cholangitis
2021
Background & aims Obeticholic acid (OCA) is the second-line treatment approved for patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and an inadequate response or intolerance to ursodeoxycholic acid. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of OCA under real-world conditions. Methods Patients were recruited into the Italian PBC Registry, a multicentre, observational cohort study that monitors patients with PBC at national level. The primary endpoint was the biochemical response according to Poise criteria; the secondary endpoint was the biochemical response according to normal range criteria, defined as normal levels of bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and alanine aminotransfer…
Sant'Anna Jamming
2016
ADI Design Index è la selezione annuale del miglior design italiano ed è parte integrante del sistema di selezione del Premio Compasso d’Oro ADI: ogni anno, grazie all’Osservatorio Permanente del Design ADI – un gruppo di lavoro costituito da oltre cento esperti, anche esterni all’associazione – prende in esame su tutto il territorio italiano il design dei nuovi prodotti messi in produzione. Dopo una strutturata selezione (commissioni territoriali, tematiche e comitato di selezione finale), i migliori prodotti di design vengono presentati, con un commento critico che evidenzia i motivi della scelta, su ADI Design Index. I volumi diventano la base su cui lavora la giuria internazionale del C…
Rigenerazione dell’area dell’ex fabbrica tessile Gulì a Palermo
2018
L’attività industriale palermitana, pur avendo vissuto un periodo fiorente piuttosto breve, ha lasciato tracce ben riconoscibili e identificabili all’interno del tessuto urbano, con manufatti architettonici di notevole importanza per qualità di progetto e dimensioni. L’ex fabbrica tessile Gulì è un complesso interessante sia dal punto di vista architettonico sia per la sua localizzazione urbanistica, molto prossima a poli di rilevante interesse culturale. Lo studio, condotto presso il Dipartimento di Architettura dell’Ateneo di Palermo, propone un intervento di rigenerazione che coinvolge non solo i manufatti edilizi presenti ma l’intera area e la sua trasformazione in un nuovo centro di qu…
The Effect of Moderate- Versus High-Intensity Resistance Training on Systemic Redox State and DNA Damage in Healthy Older Women
2018
This study investigated effects of a 16-week progressive resistance training program (RTP) with elastic bands at two different intensities on systemic redox state, DNA damage, and physical function in healthy older women. Methods: Participants were randomly assigned to the high-intensity group (HIGH; n = 39), moderate-intensity group (MOD; n = 31), or control group (CG; n = 23). The exercise groups performed an RTP twice a week with three to four sets of 6 (HIGH) or 15 (MOD) repetitions of six overall body exercises at a perceived exertion rate of 8-9 on the OMNI-Resistance Exercise Scale for use with elastic bands. Thiol redox state was determined by reduced glutathione (GSH), oxidized glu…
