Paleocarta del Valdarno: esperienze di valorizzazione del territorio
2019
Le faune fossili plio-pleistoceniche del Valdarno (Toscana, Italia centrale) costituiscono un patrimonio di grande importanza storico-scientifica. Al fine di favorire l’accesso della collettività alle faune del Valdarno Superiore custodite presso il Museo Paleontologico di Montevarchi (Arezzo), sia al pubblico generale che agli specialisti, è stata studiata e sviluppata la Paleocarta del Valdarno Superiore, un progetto basato sulla piattaforma Google Maps e sul software gratuito Qgis. Il progetto ha portato alla costruzione di due carte geografico-paleontologiche, suddivise a loro volta nei tre diversi momenti di popolamento del Valdarno. The Upper Pliocene – Lower Pleistocene faunas of Val…
Take-off analysis of the Olympic ski jumping competition (HS-106m).
2007
Abstract The take-off phase (approximately 6 m) of the jumps of all athletes participating in the individual HS-106 m hill ski jumping competition at the Torino Olympics was filmed with two high-speed cameras. The high altitude of the Pragelato ski jumping venue (1600 m) and slight tail wind in the final jumping round were expected to affect the results of this competition. The most significant correlation with the length of the jump was found in the in-run velocity ( r =0.628, p n =50). This was a surprise in Olympic level ski jumping, and suggests that good jumpers simply had smaller friction between their skis and the in-run tracks and/or the aerodynamic quality of their in-run position …

THE LINKAGE BETWEEN UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIONS AND OTITIS MEDIA: EVIDENCE OF THE 'UNITED AIRWAYS CONCEPT'
2012
Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) is a nonspecific term used to describe acute infections involving the nose, paranasal sinuses, pharynx and larynx and resulting from interplay between microbial load (viral and bacterial) and immune response. Infant and young children are prone to developing upper respiratory tract infections, which often result in bacterial complications especially acute otitis media because of the passage of bacteria (colonizing the nasopharynx) in the middle ear via Eustachian tube.
Effects of deep cervical flexor training on pressure pain thresholds over myofascial trigger points in patients with chronic neck pain.
2012
The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of a low-load training program for the deep cervical flexors (DCFs) on pain, disability, and pressure pain threshold (PPT) over cervical myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) in patients with chronic neck pain.Thirty patients with chronic idiopathic neck pain participated in a 6-week program of specific training for the DCF, which consisted of active craniocervical flexion performed twice per day (10-20 minutes) for the duration of the trial. Perceived pain and disability (Neck Disability Index, 0-50) and PPT over MTrPs of the upper trapezius, levator scapulae, and splenius capitis muscles were measured at the beginning and end of the training…
Shoulder muscle activation during stable and suspended push-ups at different heights in healthy subjects.
2015
Abstract Objectives To analyze shoulder muscle activation when performing push-ups under different stability conditions and heights. Study design Comparative study by repeated measures. Setting Valencia University laboratory. Participants 29 healthy males participated. Main outcome measures Subjects performed 3 push-ups each with their hands at 2 different heights (10 vs. 65 cm) under stable conditions and using a suspension device. Push-up speed was controlled and the testing order was randomized. The average amplitudes of the electromyographic root mean square of the long head of the triceps brachii (TRICEP), upper trapezius (TRAPS), anterior deltoid (DELT) and clavicular pectoralis (PEC)…
Electromyographic evaluation of specific elastic band exercises targeting neck and shoulder muscle activation
2020
Background: Specific strength training at a high intensity is effective in reducing work related neck/shoulder pain. However, it remains to be documented as to which exercises most specifically target neck and shoulder muscles at high activation level while using simple equipment as e.g., elastic bands. We hypothezised that selected exercises would specifically target the respective muscles, as follows: (1) shrugs and reverse flyes: the upper trapezius muscle, (2) cervical extension and lateral flexion: the upper neck extensor muscle, and (3) cervical flexion and rotation: the sternocleidomastoideus muscle. Methods: Eleven healthy males (25.9 ±
Study with surface electromyography, borg scale and rom upper trapezius, deltoid of the three portions (clavicular, acromial, spinal) and the latissi…

The pathologies located at shoulder can be caused by misuse or continued implementation of a sporting practice or physical activity. These pathologies are second position in the ranking of Traumatologics and Orthopedic Clinicals (Windt, Koes, De Jong & Bouter, 1995). Shoulder’s muscle injuries can occur when the arm is in a position that exceeds normal, this fact is repeated in sport, may be the repetition of the hand signal of the inductor problem (Kapandji, 2006). Given the importance of muscle function of the shoulder joint, along the existing boom of new techniques in the specific muscle activation has been carried out an experimental study using a " Test neuro proprioceptive response "…

Masteroppgave i psykisk helsearbeid ME504 Universitetet i Agder 2014 Background: Previous research reports on the relationship between children`s level of achievement and well-being and ability to cooperate between teachers and parents. Kristiansand municipality has conducted training including teacher`s «Taking Up Ones Worries» - method, a dialogue and network based intervention. The method aims to enhance employees skills in addressing anxiety with the parents at earliest possible date. Aim and research question: The study has a phenomenological-hermeneutic approach where the intention was to describe and interpret the participant`s experiences and attitudes towards their participation in…
