The authors evaluate the importance of prevention measures and health care from their own experience and briefly analyse the factors that may have contributed to the rapid spread of Covid-19 in Italy, and hope this will feed into appropriate and new and improved health policies.
The Two Dimensions of Narcissistic Personality and Support for the Radical Right: The Role of Right–Wing Authoritarianism, Social Dominance Orientati…
2020
This paper offers an explanation of the link between grandiose narcissism and support for radical right parties. Drawing on representative data of the GESIS Panel ( N = 2827), focusing on support for the German radical right populist party Alternative for Germany in 2016 and treating grandiose narcissism as a two–dimensional concept, it is shown that the effects of grandiose narcissism are indirect rather than direct. The paper also reveals that it is mainly narcissistic rivalry that accounts for radical right party support, whereas narcissistic admiration has a protecting relationship. Finally, our results indicate that the indirect effects of narcissistic rivalry on radical right party s…
3D-Printed Products for Topical Skin Applications: From Personalized Dressings to Drug Delivery.
2021
3D printing has been widely used for the personalization of therapies and on-demand production of complex pharmaceutical forms. Recently, 3D printing has been explored as a tool for the development of topical dosage forms and wound dressings. Thus, this review aims to present advances related to the use of 3D printing for the development of pharmaceutical and biomedical products for topical skin applications, covering plain dressing and products for the delivery of active ingredients to the skin. Based on the data acquired, the important growth in the number of publications over the last years confirms its interest. The semisolid extrusion technique has been the most reported one, probably …
Autonomy-Supportive and Controlling Styles of Teaching
2015
Autonomy-supportive and controlling styles of teaching are usually considered to be the opposite ends of a single continuum. An alternative view, however, is that individuals can perceive both styles simultaneously, which suggests that they are different constructs ( Bartholomew, Ntoumanis, Ryan, Bosch, & Thøgersen-Ntoumani, 2011 ). Using cluster analysis, Study 1 (N = 160) confirmed that both teaching styles were perceived by students. Four clusters appeared depending on the student’s score on the measures of autonomy and controlling styles (high autonomy–high control; low autonomy–low control; high autonomy–low control; low autonomy–high control). Participants in the high autonomy–lo…
Identity profiles and digital engagement among Finnish high school students
2018
Developing a stable personal identity is considered a more precarious task in today’s society than hitherto. Skilful digital engagement may, however, constitute a valuable asset in necessary identity exploration and commitment. Applying a person-oriented approach, we examined for the first time how identity profiles are associated with digital engagement, operationalized as digital competence, gaming seriousness, type of internet activity and excessive ICT use. After controlling for gender, life satisfaction and parental SES, this study of a Finnish high school sample (N = 932) revealed that adolescents with future commitments and some exploration of options (achievement, searching moratori…
Voice and identity: a contrastive study of identity perception in voice
2009
En mi tesis doctoral he estudiado qué elementos suprasegmentales de la voz se combinan a nivel prosódico para transmitir información sobre nuestra identidad (origen, personalidad, emociones.). En la parte teórica se define el concepto de identidad, llegando a la conclusión de que identidad es un término relacional que construye un paralelismo entre dos campos, el de la individualidad y el de la colectividad. En el marco teórico se tratan distintas teorías como el constructivismo radical y el experiencialismo radical para comprender cómo la percepción, la estereotipación y la categorización de la voz son actores indispensables a la hora de utilizar la voz o escuchar otras voces. En la parte …
Seasonal Changes in Urban PM2.5 Hotspots and Sources from Low-Cost Sensors
2022
PM2.5 concentrations in urban areas are highly variable, both spatially and seasonally. To assess these patterns and the underlying sources, we conducted PM2.5 exposure measurements at the adult breath level (1.6 m) along three ~5 km routes in urban districts of Mainz (Germany) using portable low-cost Alphasense OPC-N3 sensors. The survey took place on five consecutive days including four runs each day (38 in total) in September 2020 and March 2021. While the between-sensor accuracy was tested to be good (R² = 0.98), the recorded PM2.5 values underestimated the official measurement station data by up to 25 µg/m3. The collected data showed no consistent PM2.5 hotspots between September and M…
La contabilidad de gestión en el proceso de enfermería
2013
El desarrollo económico por un lado, y los avances tecnológicos en medicina por otro, han contribuido a un aumento en la demanda sanitaria y por tanto en los costes. Uno de los principales factores ha sido la realización creciente de servicios sanitarios de gran sofisticación. Los sistemas sanitarios en el entorno europeo se basan en un predominio de financiación pública con coberturas que tienden a ser universales y con redes de provisión más o menos integradas que suministran los servicios sanitarios a la población. Sin embargo, de la propia economía del bienestar que surge como consecuencia de todo lo anterior, también aparece la necesidad de racionalizar los recursos, ya que éstos son l…
¿Neuroimputabilidad? Una mirada interdisciplinar a la responsabilidad y tratamiento jurídico-penal de los trastornos de la personalidad desde los ava…
2017
La tesis doctoral que se presenta tiene por objeto el estudio de las repercusiones en la imputabilidad penal de los conocimientos que desde la Neurociencia cognitiva se desprenden en casos de trastornos de la personalidad. Para ello se ha efectuado una aproximación tanto teórica como práctica al estado real de la cuestión mediante un análisis multidisciplinar e integrador de la dinámica observable, prestando especial atención a la praxis jurisprudencial, que se muestra en el terreno forense realmente alejada de los últimos conocimientos científicos al respecto.
