Single Point Incremental Forming: analysis of sustainability of the process through an experimental approach
2013
In literature, manufacturing processes have been studied with different approaches, but a lack of knowledge on the analysis of the energy required is still present. The aim of this paper is to carry out energy analysis on Single Point Incremental Forming process. Accordingly, a wide experimental investigation was executed by taking into account different process parameters (i.e. tool depth step, punch velocity and product shape). The total energy consumption was monitored during all the experiments and properly weighted with respect to the deformation energy, required to execute the process. A sensitivity analysis was also carried out to highlight the conditions which allow to save energy r…
The burden of injury in Central, Eastern, and Western European sub-region: a systematic analysis from the Global Burden of Disease 2019 Study
2022
Abstract Background Injury remains a major concern to public health in the European region. Previous iterations of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study showed wide variation in injury death and disability adjusted life year (DALY) rates across Europe, indicating injury inequality gaps between sub-regions and countries. The objectives of this study were to: 1) compare GBD 2019 estimates on injury mortality and DALYs across European sub-regions and countries by cause-of-injury category and sex; 2) examine changes in injury DALY rates over a 20 year-period by cause-of-injury category, sub-region and country; and 3) assess inequalities in injury mortality and DALY rates across the countries…
The care of the informal caregiver's burden by the Spanish public system of social welfare: a review.
2010
Abstract This work analyzes the public social services system developed in Spain to attend dependent persons and their informal caregivers, examining in a more detailed way the current capacity of the Spanish public In-Home Help Service (HHS) to meet the demands of dependent elderly persons and its impact on their informal caregiver's burden. We begin with a brief introduction of the services by the Spanish public social services system developed to attend dependency; next, the evolution of the Spanish public HHS is described in a thorough way to identify the pros and cons of this service regarding the informal caregivers’ burden of dependent elders. Finally, recommendations are proposed to…
Travisamenti pretori in tema di esonero dalla responsabilità contrattuale tra causalità e vicinanza della prova
2020
La nota censura la pronuncia in commento a causa della scelta di addossare la prova della causalità materiale al creditore anche nell'ambito delle obbligazioni di facere non professionale, con ciò facendo segnare la piena equiparazione sul piano della causalità della responsabilità contrattuale alla responsabilità aquiliana. The note censures the judgment in question due to the choice of placing proof of material causation on the creditor also in the context of the obligations of non-professional facere, thereby marking the full equation in terms of causality of contractual liability with aquilian liability.
Durata e prescrizione nella garanzia per i i vizi della vendita
2020
Il saggio analizza due recenti sentenze della Corte di cassazione in tema di onere della prova e di decorso del termine di prescrizione in materia di azioni edilizie nella vendita. L'analisi tenta di dimostrare che la soluzione di entrambe le questioni dipende dall'esatta qualificazione giuridica del vincolo del venditore come garanzia, intesa come attribuzione di utilità senza cooperazione. Su queste basi è possibile pervenire a conclusioni diverse e più solide rispetto a quelle cui perviene la Corte di cassazione. The essay analyzes two recent judgments of the Court of Cassation regarding the burden of proof and the expiry of the limitation period for the claim in the field of actions aga…
BREVI NOTE SULL'ONERE DELLA PROVA NEL PROCESSO TRIBUTARIO
2019
La regola dell’onere della prova costituisce un pilastro fondamentale in ogni disciplina processuale. Essa si sviluppa in una molteplicita' di principi attraverso i quali il processo persegue la sua funzione, la ricerca della verita'. Nel processo tributario l’applicazione della regola dell’onere della prova non sempre appare ispirata al principio del giusto processo ed al contribuente a volte è richiesto di offrire una prova che va oltre le sue possibilita'.
FROM UNBURDENING TO LIBERATED EMBODIED SIMULATION A HISTORY OF CONCEPTS
2020
What is imagination? How to think this «act» (action)? How to describe its phenomenology? And, above all, how to situate its very space in human behavior and mind? Can we outline a topic of imagination? I suggest that an ap- propriate blend between the tradition of philosophical anthropology, from Johann Gottfried Herder to Hans Blumenberg, and the new neuroscientific interpretation of «embodied simulation», could help us to refine our concept of imagination. I quote Herder just to refer to a noble forerunner of this genealogy, being the focus of my paper on a more controversial figure, namely Arnold Gehlen, author of an inspiring work of twentieth-century anthropology, Man. His Nature and …
ALEXITHYMIA, BURDEN AND EMOTIONAL STATE IN ALS’ CAREGIVERS
2016
Introduction: Living with a progressively disease such as Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has a strong impact on the people affected and on their relatives, who have to tackle the demanding duties of caring for and assisting them (Tramonti et al., 2014). Although an extensive literature documents the levels of distress among caregivers of patients with progressive illness, less attention has been directed to determinants of caregiver mood and emotional regulation (Rabkin et al., 2009). In particular, there are not studies that assess the role of alexithymia in ALS. We evaluated the relationship between alexithymia and burden, and psychopatological symptoms in ALS’caregivers. Methods: 17…
Association of Anticholinergic Burden with Cognitive and Functional Status in a Cohort of Hospitalized Elderly: Comparison of the Anticholinergic Cog…
2013
Abstract Background Drugs with anticholinergic effects are associated with adverse events such as delirium and falls as well as cognitive decline and loss of independence. Objective The aim of the study was to evaluate the association between anticholinergic burden and both cognitive and functional status, according to the hypothesis that the cumulative anticholinergic burden, as measured by the Anticholinergic Cognitive Burden (ACB) Scale and Anticholinergic Risk Scale (ARS), increases the risk of cognitive decline and impairs activities of daily living. Methods This cross-sectional, prospective study (3-month telephone follow-up) was conducted in 66 Italian internal medicine and geriatric…
Increased frequencies of CD11b+CD33+CD14+HLA-DRlowmyeloid-derived suppressor cells are an early event in melanoma patients
2014
Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) are a heterogeneous cell population characterized by immunosuppressive activity. Elevated levels of MDSC in peripheral blood are found in inflammatory diseases as well as in malignant tumors where they are supposed to be major contributors to mechanisms of tumor-associated tolerance. We investigated the frequency and function of MDSC in peripheral blood of melanoma patients and observed an accumulation of CD11b(+) CD33(+) CD14(+) HLA-DR(low) MDSC in all stages of disease (I-IV), including early stage I patients. Disease progression and enhanced tumor burden did not result in a further increase in frequencies or change in phenotype of MDSC. By investig…
