Ospedalizzazione potenzialmente evitabile per BroncoPneumopatia Cronico Ostruttiva
No full textLa BroncoPneumopatia Cronico
Ostruttiva (BPCO) è una condizione cronica che
determina un elevato carico di malattia nella popolazione
adulta e soprattutto anziana. Incluso tra i
Prevention Quality Indicators dell’Agency for
Healthcare Research and Quality, il tasso di ospedalizzazione
per questa condizione “sensibile alle
cure ambulatoriali” intende misurare la qualità dei
servizi territoriali in termini di prevenzione e di cura
presupponendo che, al migliorare di queste, diminuisca
il ricorso al ricovero in ospedale

Ospedalizzazione potenzialmente evitabile per Complicanze a Lungo Termine del Diabete mellito
No full textIl diabete è una malattia cronica caratterizzata
dalla presenza di elevati livelli di glucosio nel
sangue (iperglicemia) ed è dovuta ad un’alterata quantità
o funzione dell’insulina. Il diabete può determinare
complicanze croniche che possono essere prevenute,
o di cui si può rallentare la progressione, attraverso
uno stretto controllo di tutti i fattori di rischio. La
gestione delle Complicanze a Lungo Termine del
Diabete (CLTD) può essere realizzata attraverso
un’assistenza territoriale che fornisca al paziente
informazioni e mezzi per un adeguato controllo metabolico,
al fine di evitare l’insorgenza di quadri di diabete
scompensato che renderebbero necessaria
l’ospedalizzazione. Tra i Prevention Quality
Indicators dell’Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality il tasso di dimissioni ospedaliere potenzialmente
evitabili per CLTD consente di valutare, indirettamente,
l’appropriatezza della gestione territoriale
del diabete. L’analisi ottenuta attraverso tale indicatore
è da considerarsi in maniera integrata con quanto
descritto, a proposito dell’ospedalizzazione per diabete
mellito, nel Capitolo “Malattie metaboliche” del
presente Rapporto
Ospedalizzazione potenzialmente evitabile per Insufficienza Cardiaca senza procedure cardiache

Incluso tra i Prevention Quality Indicators
dell’Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, il tasso di ospedalizzazione senza procedure cardiache
dei soggetti di 65 anni ed oltre per questa condizione
“sensibile alle cure ambulatoriali” intende
misurare la qualità dei servizi territoriali in termini di
prevenzione e di cura presupponendo che, al migliorare
di queste, diminuisca il ricorso al ricovero in

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
SCIDDICA-SS3: a new version of cellular automata model for simulating fast moving landslides
No full textCellular Automata (CA) are discrete and parallel computational models useful for simulating dynamic systems that evolve on the basis on local interactions. Some natural events, such as some types of landslides, fall into this type of phenomena and lend themselves well to be simulated with this approach. This paper describes the latest version of the SCIDDICA CA family models, specifically developed to simulate debris-flows type landslides. The latest model of the family, named SCIDDICA-SS3, inherits all the features of its predecessor, SCIDDICA-SS2, with the addition of a particular strategy to manage momentum. The introduction of the latter permits a better approximation of inertial effects that characterize some rapid debris flows. First simulations attempts of real landslides with SCIDDICA-SS3 have produced quite satisfactory results, comparable with the previous model.Cellular Automata (CA) are discrete and parallel computational models useful for simulating dynamic systems that evolve on the basis on local interactions.
