Elderly Parents’ Need for Help and Adult Children's Moving Decisions

2015

Recent changes in Finnish welfare policies have increased the need for family involvement in eldercare. This article uses qualitative interviews to study working adult daughters’ reasons for moving in with their parent(s). Coresidence was linked to the parents’ need for support, but also to the daughters’ life situations, family histories, the availability of welfare services, and cultural norms and values. The interviewees used the “familist” and “independent life” discourses in their speech. The familist discourse was used to argue for coresidence as a natural continuation of family traditions and life history, whereas the independent life discourse was used to legitimize the need for alt…

Thoracic research scholarship 1988: pulmonary thromboendarterectomy for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension at the University of California…

1990

At the University of California, San Diego pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) has emerged as an effective measure in the treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. Unresolved emboli become organized by incorporation into the vascular wall and may form strictures, webs, bands and/or membranous occlusions and cause pulmonary hypertension refractory to medical treatment. When pulmonary vascular resistance exceeds 300 dyn.sec.cm-5 and the vascular wall changes are located to begin at or proximal to the lobar artery level, surgery is indicated. The operation is performed using cardiopulmonary bypass, deep hypothermia and periods of circulatory arrest. The dissection of each s…

German Thoracic Research Scholarship 1996: lung volume reduction for endstage pulmonary emphysema at the Washington University of St. Louis.

1998

The Thoracic Research Scholarship 1996 of the German Society for Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery enabled me to visit Barnes Hospital at the Washington University of St. Louis, USA, from May to July 1996. At that center Prof. J. D. Cooper has established lung-volume reduction surgery as a successful surgical treatment for patients with endstage pulmonary emphysema. The operation is performed using left-sided double-lumen intubation. After opening of the chest and pleura and starting single-lung ventilation the less diseased parts of the second lung collapse due to absorption atelectasis whereas the more diseased portion of the lung stays hyperinflated. Linear staplers buttressed with bov…

Study of relationships between the structure of aroma compounds and their retention-release between vapour phase and dairy gels

2010

An integrated approach physicochemistry and structures activity relationships has been carried out to study the aroma compounds retention-release phenomenon in a fat free dairy gel added with pectin. This study aimed to identify the molecular properties that govern this phenomenon assuming that modifying the structure leads automatically to a change in the retention-release of aroma compounds. For this purpose, we have determined the partition coefficients of 28 aroma compounds in water, in pectin gels and in dairy gels supplemented or not supplemented with pectin, at equilibrium conditions using the PRV method (Phase Ratio Variation). Then, we have performed a structure-retention relations…

Group music therapy with healthy adult women : an approach for well-being

2014

Research shows that music therapy is often utilized to improve the quality of life of individuals with specified diagnoses; however, the documented information regarding clinical work with healthy adults is limited. The following case study aims to investigate a group music therapy process with healthy adult women. The main objective is to identify implications group music therapy could hold for healthy adult women, such as for the purpose of quality of life improvement and the stimulation of self-actualizing experiences. The study was conducted within a clinical setting where the participants consisted of 4 intentionally selected adult women. The participants attended 12 music therapy sess…

La presa in carico residenziale: percorsi di ricerca nelle comunità per minori.

2012

Le comunità residenziali possono essere concepite come “campi esperienziali”, luoghi di esperienza condivisa all’interno dei quali, nel qui e ora della quotidianità e nell’intreccio di storie, esperienze, culture, visioni del mondo, orientamenti e bisogni diversi, gli “abitanti” della comunità, minori e operatori, intrecciano reti relazionali complesse. L’esplorazione di tali campi esperienziali e del loro funzionamento, la definizione di setting di lavoro clinico e formativo nei quali avviare percorsi trasformativi, è l’interesse che ha mosso il progetto di ricerca e intervento che qui presentiamo. Nella prospettiva della valutazione del lavoro clinico e della qualità dei servizi offerti a…

University as a workplace: searching for meaningful work

2018

Work in academia is changing, and research suggests that not all the changes are desirable. Higher education is developing in a direction heavily criticized, especially in relation to the concepts of neoliberal and academic capitalism. In this article, we explore meaningful work in a university context. Our focus lies on individual lecturers’ positive opportunities to make work meaningful and the university a better place to work for both students and faculty. We examine meaningful work as a relational phenomenon: how meaningfulness is constructed through features such as dialogue, expertise, interaction and sharing of ideas. Our empirical findings are based on analysis of qualitative and q…

Declinazioni del rapporto tra le arti e l'architettura
 nella prima metà del Novecento: i Palazzi di Giustizia in Sicilia

2021

La tesi affronta la tematica del rapporto tra le arti e l’architettura, ricorrente nei dibattiti culturali sin dalla primigenia antinomia téchne/ars ma di particolare importanza nella prima metà del Novecento. Dapprima la questione viene inquadrata a livello generale, tramite l’analisi di tre episodi peculiari dei primi decenni del ventesimo secolo, ossia: la quinta edizione della Triennale di Milano del 1933, consacrata alla pittura murale; il sesto Convegno Volta del 1936, dedicato al tema “Rapporti dell’architettura con le arti figurative”; la promulgazione della Legge del 2%, che prevedeva la destinazione di almeno la suddetta percentuale, rispetto al totale della spesa preventivata, pe…
