Work-to-family conflict and its relationship with satisfaction and well-being: a one-year longitudinal study on gender differences

2004

The present study produced new knowledge about gender differences with respect to work-to-family conflict and its longitudinal relations with indicators of satisfaction and well-being. The study examined the longitudinal relations between work-to-family conflict and self-reported satisfaction and well-being in the domains of work (job satisfaction), family (marital satisfaction, parental distress) as well as overall (psychological and physical) symptoms.

A survey was conducted at two points in time, in 1999 (Time 1), and one year later, in 2000 (Time 2…

Although cancer of the prostate is completely preventable by castration before puberty, prevention at such a price is obviously out of the question. Equally, in later life, it is necessary to weigh up the cost to the patient, in terms of quality of life, of any slight extension of its duration. Denis reminded us that in autumn it is not the length of days but their freedom from distress which should be our primary concern.

2012

All’interno delle forme di governance rurale, intesa secondo un approccio di concertazione e partecipazione dal basso alle politiche di sviluppo rurale, vanno sempre più diffondendosi in Italia i modelli distrettuali rurali e agricoli che privilegiano, secondo modalità integrate e multisettoriali, i percorsi di sviluppo locale ed endogeno. Alla luce di tali premesse l'articolo analizza il potenziale ruolo per uno sviluppo duraturo che i distretti rurali possono svolgere in Sicilia.

Nanomedicine: A Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approach to COVID-19

2021

The SARS-CoV-2 virus is causing devastating morbidity and mortality worldwide. Nanomedicine approaches have a high potential to enhance conventional diagnostics, drugs and vaccines. In fact, lipid nanoparticle/mRNA vaccines are already widely used to protect from COVID-19. In this review, we present an overview of the taxonomy, structure, variants of concern, epidemiology, pathophysiology and detection methods of SARS-CoV-2. The efforts of repurposing, tailoring, and adapting pre-existing medications to battle COVID-19 and the state of vaccine developments are presented. Next, we discuss the broad concepts and limitations of how nanomedicine could address the COVID-19 threat. Nanomaterials …
