Fragilité, vulnérabilité et ressorts de santé des personnes âgées
2022
National audience; A partir d’observations socio ethnographiques à domicile, cet article explore les conditions d’application des notions de fragilité, vulnérabilité et atouts / ressorts de santé au repérage, au suivi et à la prévention de la perte d’autonomie des personnes âgées. Relevant d’univers différents, ces trois notions offrent des cadres d’analyse et d’intervention complémentaires. La notion de fragilité, dans son acception gériatrique, appartient à l’univers de la maladie ; elle se présente comme une diminution plus ou moins étendue des réserves physiologiques qu’un individu mobilise face à un stress. Les atouts / ressorts de santé se situent d’emblée dans le domaine de la santé,…
PV-Alert: Fog Computing based Architecture for Safeguarding Vulnerable Road Users
2018
High volumes of pedestrians, cyclists and other vulnerable road users (VRUs) have much higher casualty rates per mile; not surprising given their lack of protection from an accident. In order to alleviate the problem, sensing capabilities of smartphones can be used to detect, warn and safeguard these road users. In this research we propose an infrastructure-less fog-based architecture named PV-Alert (Pedestrian-Vehicle Alert) where fog nodes process delay sensitive data obtained from smartphones for alerting pedestrians and drivers before sending the data to the cloud for further analysis. Fog computing is considered in developing the architecture since it is an emerging paradigm that has p…
Understanding Addiction Using Animal Models
2019
Drug addiction is a neuropsychiatric disorder with grave personal consequences that has an extraordinary global economic impact. Despite decades of research, the options available to treat addiction are often ineffective because our rudimentary understanding of drug-induced pathology in brain circuits and synaptic physiology inhibits the rational design of successful therapies. This understanding will arise first from animal models of addiction where experimentation at the level of circuits and molecular biology is possible. We will review the most common preclinical models of addictive behavior and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each. This includes non-contingent models in whi…
The Italian version of the Depressive Experiences Questionnaire (DEQ): psychometric properties and a contribution to validation on students, communit…
2017
The current study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Italian validation of the Depressive Experiences Questionnaire (DEQ), conceived as a measure of self-criticism and dependency, i.e. two personality factors acting, according to Blatt (2004), as risk factors for depression in particular and psychopathology in general. A series of standardized measures [Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), DEQ, Symptom Checklist-90-R (SCL-90-R), Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory, 3rd edition (MCMI-III)] was administered to three samples (i.e., students, community and clinical). Factorial validity was evaluated along with convergent and predictive validity. In order to evaluate the reliability…
Assessment of Coastal Vulnerability in South Sicily

Interpretation, Negotiation, Play
2022
Augmented reality (AR) picturebooks combine printed children's literature with augmented reality. This study examines the shared reading of the Finnish AR picturebook Mur, eli karhu (2016) by Kaisa Happonen and Anne Vasko. The main aim of the study is to explore the playful reading experience of three Finnish families with children between the ages of 4 and 6. Three main categories of engagement with the book are discussed in the article: interpretation, negotiation, and play. The findings of the study suggest that children are skilled users of mobile digital media but may not understand the content of AR without parental mediation. In addition, parents and educators are required to have su…
Exploring EEG recordings of Focused Attention Meditation with Fourier-ICA
2017
Meditaation harjoittamiseen liitetään usein useita terveyshyötyjä. Elektroenkefalografia (EEG)-menetelmällä on mahdollista seurata hermostossa meditaatioistunnon aikana tapahtuvia ajallisia muutoksia. Löydöt tällä alueella antaisivat lisää tietoa erityisesti meditaation aivovasteista, mutta myös yleisempää tietoa aivojen toiminnasta luonnollisissa olosuhteissa. Tässä tutkielmassa käytetään Fourier-ICA:ksi kutsuttua itsenäisten komponenttien analyysin muunnelmaa meditaatioistunnoista saatujen EEG-aineistojen analyysiin ja näytetään että itsenäisten komponenttien analyysiä voi käyttää muuhunkin kuin vain häiriöiden poistamiseen, mikä on sen tavallisin käyttötapaus EEG-tutkimuksissa. Erityises…
Eelness: Transcriptomic analysis of Vibrio-induced immune response in European eel
2014
La malaltia és l’alteració de l’estat fisiològic d’un individu, dificultant les seves funcions vitals i fins i tot, comportant a la mort. Tots els éssers vius poden contraure malaltia, aquesta, és majoritàriament provocada per microorganismes patògens, incloent bacteris, virus, protozous i fongs. Al llarg de la infecció, la relació hoste-patògen és clau. Per una banda, l’hoste ha de comptar amb un sistema immunitari eficaç, capaç de combatre l’infecció, mantenint les funcions vitals i per tant, evitant la mort. Per l’altre banda, el patogen desenvolupa una sèrie de factors per tal de aconseguir una invasió exitosa i per tant, provocant infecció. L’objectiu principal d’aquest tesi és l’estud…

Vibriosis in aquaculture. 16th EAFP Conference, Tampere, Finland, 4th September 2013
2014
Aquaculture in brackish and marine water is growing worldwide (FAO, 2014), including new cultured species. Various Vibrio infections occur, and cause significant problems, in fish, crustacean and shellfish (Austin & Austin, 2007. Vibrio anguillarum, V. salmonicida, V. ordalii and V. vulnificus are among the pathogens that lead to the biggest losses in aquaculture all over the world (Toranzo et al. 2005, Sandlund et al., 2010; Sitjà-Bobadilla et al. 2014).
