A Lightweight Prototype of a Magnetometric System for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

2021

Detection of the Earth’s magnetic field anomalies is the basis of many types of studies in the field of earth sciences and archaeology. These surveys require different ways to carry out the measures but they have in common that they can be very tiring or expensive. There are now several lightweight commercially available magnetic sensors that allow light-UAVs to be equipped to perform airborne measurements for a wide range of scenarios. In this work, the realization and functioning of an airborne magnetometer prototype were presented and discussed. Tests and measures for the validation of the experimental setup for some applications were reported. The flight sessions, appropriately programm…

Psychological intimate partner violence against women in the European Union: a cross-national invariance study

2019

Abstract Background Intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) is a worldwide public health problem. One of the most frequent forms of this type of violence in western societies is psychological IPVAW. According to the European Union (EU) Fundamental Rights Association (FRA) the prevalence of psychological IPVAW in the EU is 43%. However, the measurement invariance of the measure addressing psychological IPVAW in this survey has not yet been assessed. Methods The aim of this study is to ensure the cross-national comparability of this measure, by evaluating its measurement invariance across the 28 EU countries in a sample of 37,724 women, and to examine how the levels of this type of vi…

Immunonutritive Scoring in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma Undergoing Transarterial Chemoembolization: Prognostic Nutritional Index or Control…

2021

ObjectivesThe Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) and Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score are immunonutritive scoring systems with proven predictive ability in various cancer entities, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We performed the first evaluation of the CONUT score for patients undergoing transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and compared CONUT and PNI in the ability to predict median overall survival (OS).MethodsBetween 2010 and 2020, we retrospectively identified 237 treatment-naïve patients with HCC who underwent initial TACE at our institution. Both scores include the albumin level and total lymphocyte count. The CONUT additionally includes the cholesterol level. …

The role of teachers’ controlling behaviour in physical education on adolescents’ health-related quality of life: test of a conditional process model*

2019

AbstractStudents’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL) may depend on the extent to which the school environment fostered by their teacher is perceived as autonomy-supportive. We tested a conditio...

How Physical Education Teachers’ Interpersonal Behaviour is Related to Students’ Health-Related Quality of Life

2019

Grounded in self-determination theory (SDT), this cross-sectional study tested relations of students’ perceptions of autonomy-supportive and controlling behaviour from teachers in physical education with students’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and the potential role of students’ perceived need satisfaction and need frustration as a mediator of these relationships. School students (N = 1031) completed self-report measures of perceived autonomy support, perceived teachers’ controlling behaviour, students’ need satisfaction and need frustration, and HRQoL. Results indicated that students’ perceptions of autonomy support from teachers was positively associated with HRQoL through need …

The pre-appropriation of controlling tools : the role of the enabling management

2022

The appropriation of controlling tools is a theme that has been widely addressed research in management over the last twenty years (De Vaujany, 2005, 2006; Carton et al., 2006; Grimand, 2006, 2012, Quemener and Fimbel, 2012; Bessire et al., 2012; Bédé et al., 2012; Bernard, 2019, Couleau-Dupont, 2010, ...). This research has mobilised various theoretical frameworks and methodologies. Some mobilise the theory of appropriation proposed by De Vaujany (2005), some others use theoretical frameworks from other disciplines, such as legitimacy (Suchman, 1995), regulation theory (Reynaud, 1979) or even neo-institutional theory (Di Maggio and Powell, 1991). The literature does not propose a single fr…

Responsabilità degli organi di amministrazione e controllo di società a partecipazione pubblica (anche in house) e riparto di giurisdizione

2019

Le disposizioni in tema di responsabilità degli organi di amministrazione e controllo di società a partecipazione pubblica e di giurisdizione applicabile, contenute nell’art. 12, d.lgs. 19 agosto 2016, n. 175, T.U. in materia di società a partecipazione pubblica, e l’espressa previsione all’art. 14 del citato T.U. della fallibilità di tali società hanno dato luogo al moltiplicarsi di azioni civili di responsabilità proposte dalla curatela del fallimento di società a partecipazione pubblica. Nel seno di simili azioni, esperite anche ex art. 2497 c.c. nei confronti dell’ente pubblico socio, la Cassazione si è da ultimo orientata, con le ordinanze a sez. un. del 13 settembre 2018, n. 22406, e …

Dépôts carbonatés microbiens en domaine lacustre et fluviatile : fabriques et facteurs de contrôle

2020

The non-marine carbonates related to microbial activity display a large range of morphologies and compositions and accumulate in various settings (freshwater, alkaline, and saline lakes, fluvial environments, thermal and freshwater springs, …). The variety of non-marine microbial carbonates and their particularity led to propose numerous and complex terminologies and classifications, making their use complicated and restrictive for the interpretation of depositional settings. Mineralization of these carbonates results from the interaction between biotic factors (intrinsic) and environmental factors (extrinsic and external) at multi-scales. The first aim of this work was to characterize morp…

Drug Use Control Perception and Strategies in General and Clinical Population in a Spanish City

2021

Background: This article evaluates the perception of drug use control and strategies in Valencia City (Spain) in a general and clinical population, in two independent studies. Material and Methods: 1071 people participated. In the Study 1 (n= 924) the entire sample came from general population (GP), and in the Study 2 (n=147), 68 were drug users being treated in an Addictive Behaviors Unit (ABU), and 79 people of the GP. The drug use control perception and strategies in both subgroups were compared. The participants filled in the Drug Use Strategies Scale and a Drug Use Survey. Results: A high level of perception of drug control in GP was obtained (72,7% in the Study 1 and 67,5% in the Stud…
