An Integrated Theory for the Accumulation of Mentally Ill Offenders and the Effect of Realignment in California

2018

High mental illness prevalence in California state prisons has drawn much attention of scholars and policymakers in the past three decades. Various studies suggest that the mental illness prevalence in prison has increased from 0.14 to 0.3 from 1987 to 2014. The problem with a high concentration of mentally ill prisoners culminated when the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) was sued for the violation of inmates’ rights under the Eighth Amendment in the early 1990s. Consequently, CDCR’s health care was placed under Federal receivership to reform prison health care. Receivership is an uncommon remedy adopts by a federal court when other court orders have failed to…

TISSBERT: A benchmark for the validation and comparison of NDVI time series reconstruction methods

2018

[EN] This paper introduces the Time Series Simulation for Benchmarking of Reconstruction Techniques (TISSBERT) dataset, intended to provide a benchmark for the validation and comparison of time series reconstruction methods. Such methods are routinely used to estimate vegetation characteristics from optical remotely sensed data, where the presence of clouds decreases the usefulness of the data. As for their validation, these methods have been compared with previously published ones, although with different approaches, which sometimes lead to contradictory results. We designed the TISSBERT dataset to be generic so that it could simulate realistic reference and cloud-contaminated time series …

Clinical assessment and comparison of ACL reconstruction using synthetic graft (Neoligaments versus FiberTape).

2021

Background Due to the low potential for primary biological healing of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the most popular approach is currently reconstruction using a graft. Recent research indicates that the technique of strengthening a damaged ligament with synthetic tapes (internal bracing) may be an alternative to reconstructive treatment, especially in cases of partial ACL damage. Objectives To compare and evaluate the possibility of using a synthetic graft (Neoligaments or FiberTape) to treat partial lesions of the ACL. Material and methods This was a retrospective cohort study. Selected from a pool of 128 patients undergoing primary unilateral intra-articular ACL reconstruction du…

Towards the development of cultural resources of the territory of Agrigento

2011

Agrigento costituisce una delle realtà nazionali più problematiche in cui si materializzano i contrasti più stridenti: l’eccezionale patrimonio archeologico e paesaggistico della Valle dei Templi e un abusivismo edilizio diffuso e multiforme; la bellezza e il degrado del centro storico assediato da volumi edilizi di altezze spropositate; l'eleganza dell’espansione ottocentesca e lo sviluppo di periferie miserabili; opere viarie invasive che non assicurano efficaci collegamenti. Sul territorio in declivio che guarda il mare, si trova il Parco Archeologico e Paesaggistico della Valle dei Templi, sintesi sublime di archeologia e paesaggio agrario ma sfregiato in molte zone da varie tipologie d…

Subtropical streams harbour higher genus richness and lower abundance of insects compared to boreal streams, but scale matters

2018

Aim: Biological diversity typically varies between climatically different regions, and regions closer to the equator often support higher numbers of taxa than those closer to the poles. However, these trends have been assessed for a few organism groups, and the existing studies have rarely been based on extensive identical surveys in different climatic regions. Location: We conducted standardized surveys of wadeable streams in a boreal (western Finland) and a subtropical (south-eastern Brazil) region, sampling insects identically from 100 streams in each region and measuring the same environmental variables in both regions. Taxon: Aquatic insects. Methods: Comparisons were made at the scale…

Możliwości i potrzeby edukacyjne skazanych poszkodowanych w więziennej rzeczywistości

2018

Skazani poszkodowani - pod względem funkcjonowania w zakładzie karnym - reprezentują specyficzną grupę osadzonych. Tekst w całości poświęcony jest kategorii osób, którzy w środowisku więziennym są napiętnowani przez współosadzonych. Izolacja od potencjalnych oprawców skłania kadrę do prowadzenia oddziaływań penitencjarnych - w tym także i edukacyjnych - odrębnie od pozostałej społeczności inkarcerowanej. Istotne wydaje się więc, w jaki sposób ich sytuacja społeczna (izolacja od pozostałych więźniów) oraz psychologiczna (degradacja poprzez wykluczenie) determinuje aktywność edukacyjną w instytucji totalnej, jaką jest więzienie. W tekście uwagę zwrócono zarówno na edukacji formalnej (szkoła),…

Prioritization of Alternatives with AHP Plus Response Latency and Web Surveys

2013

Purpose: Overcome some drawbacks of the widely applied Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) related to the use of a rating scale for respondent’s judgments and propose a new method to prioritize alternatives based on web surveys. Methodology/Approach: We use the response latency, i.e. the time taken to make a decision, to replace the rating scale in the pairwise comparisons which is a fundamental part of the AHP procedure. A method combining the AHP with a mathematical model for the response latency is proposed in the paper. Findings: Eliminating the rating scale and leaving only the “take the best” task alleviates the respondent and makes the survey much faster and intuitive. Moreover the re…

RECOVERY AND RE-USE OF BUILDING MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS IN ARCHITECTURE

2018

Gli studi sul riuso degli scarti per l’architettura hanno prodotto negli ultimi anni risultati inediti e molto originali. Questo, tuttavia, resta ancora un ambito poco esplorato, più florido in determinati contesti geografici e particolari condizioni economiche; limitato a poche esperienze di sperimentazione in altri. In questi contesti, i limiti per la diffusione di sistemi costruttivi che riusano prodotti di scarto sono essenzialmente due: innanzitutto il fattore culturale, la tradizione consolidata e la difficoltà di accettare modi di costruire e vivere radicalmente alternativi a quelli conosciuti (se non limitati ad esperienze di studio, o temporanee, o comunque che non interferiscano c…
