«La figura quadrata non deve essere trasformata in rotonda». La dottrina del privilegio e la pace di Costanza in età moderna
No full textIl saggio propone una lettura di alcuni testi giuridico-politici pubblicati in Europa tra la metà del XVI e la seconda metà del XIX secolo. Ciò che accomuna tutti i testi è che essi utilizzano e rielaborano i princìpi fissati nella Pace di Costanza (1183) riguardo ai privilegi, per quanto ne forniscano interpretazioni diverse e talvolta contrastanti.
Attraverso il riferimento al ruolo dei privilegi nella Pace di Costanza, i testi presi in esame affrontano fondamentali questioni che in età moderna erano proprie sia del “diritto penale” sia del “diritto pubblico”: il crimine di lesa maestà; il ruolo del princeps, l’ampiezza della sua potestas, i limiti della potestas absoluta; la garanzia libertà, delle esenzioni e dei privilegi delle città e dei prìncipi italiani; l’importanza della “libertà di privilegio” per il moderno concetto di libertà nei primi anni dell’Italia unita
A comparative study of data collection methods in the process of nursing: detection of chemotherapy side effects using a self-reporting questionnaire
No full textToxicity of chemotherapy is a factor that most negatively aff ects the quality of life
of cancer patients. Monitoring of side eff ects and adverse eff ects may be subject to errors due to various
factors such as the lack of privacy during data collection, shame on the part of the patient to talk
about some issues, lack of recognition of symptoms and/or unawareness of side eff ects of treatments,
and/or inappropriate reference model of data collection. In order to assist caregivers in proper data
collection, a ‘self-reporting questionnaire’ was designed. Th e questionnaire was developed using validated
scales such as the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Event, Edmonton Symptom
Assessment Scale and Douleur Neuropathique en 4 Questions. Th e survey involved the population of
patients scheduled for chemotherapy in Day Hospital at the Campus Bio-Medico University Hospital,
Rome, between June and July 2015. During the period of observation, 367 patients were admitted
to Day Hospital, 57.5% of women and 38.4% of men, average age 64 years, for a total of 622 accesses;
of these, only 173 were interviewed by the nursing staff in relation to side eff ects and toxicity. During
the trial, 381 patients were involved, of which 60.1% of women (p=0.8) and 38.3% of men (p=0.9),
average age 63 years (p=0.9), for a total of 611 accesses and 498 self-reporting questionnaires administered.
At the end of the trial period, in order to evaluate usability, an evaluation questionnaire was
given to medical personnel, including fi ve doctors and six nurses, to consider possible amendments to
the instrument and its perceived eff ectiveness. Comparative analysis of data collected during the observation
period and the trial showed how the use of the self-reporting questionnaire allowed for detection
of side eff ects of chemotherapy earlier and in a more detailed way than relying only on medical
examination and unstructured interview by nursing staff . It also enabled reaching a larger number of
users. In conclusion, the use of self-reporting systems, together with the work and clinical judgment
of the expert, can contribute to improvement in the patient quality of life, corroborating nurse interviews
through a precise and systematic data collection process that reduces the amount of interpretation
of symptoms by the patient and the caregiver, while providing them with precise instructions on
what to report and how to report it. Th e signifi cant and rapid spread of computers, tablets and smartphones
allows for speculating on further use and implementation of this system through its computerized
application
Implementing propensity score matching with network data: the effect of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade on bilateral trade
No full textMotivated by the evaluation of the causal effect of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade on bilateral international trade flows, we investigate the role of network structure in propensity score matching under the assumption of strong ignorability. We study the sensitivity of causal inference with respect to the presence of characteristics of the network in the set of confounders conditionally on which strong ignorability is assumed to hold. We find that estimates of the average causal effect are highly sensitive to the node level network statistics in the set of confounders. Therefore, we argue that estimates may suffer from omitted variable bias when the network information is ignored, at least in our application
The impact of immigration on the internal mobility of natives and foreign-born residents: evidence from Italy
No full textThe relationship between immigration flows and internal mobility in Italy is investigated for the period 2003–11. Using semiparametric negative binomial gravity models with smooth spatio-temporal trends, and dealing with endogeneity issues through an instrumental variables approach, evidence is provided of a significant negative (or displacement) effect of new foreign immigrants on the internal mobility of foreign citizens and of Italian citizens with a low educational level, as well as a significant positive (or complementarity) effect of new foreign immigrants on the internal mobility of Italian citizens with a high educational level
Aspiration Lung Disease
No full textAbstract
The term aspiration lung disease describes several clinical syndromes, with massive aspiration and chronic lung aspiration being at two extremes of the clinical spectrum. Over the years, significant advances have been made in understanding the mechanisms underlying dysphagia, gastroesophageal function, and airway protective reflexes and new diagnostic techniques have been introduced. Despite this, characterizing the presence or absence of aspiration, and under what circumstances a child might be aspirating what, is extremely challenging. Many children are still not adequately diagnosed or treated for aspiration until permanent lung damage has occurred. A multidisciplinary approach is mandatory for a correct diagnosis in addition to timely and appropriate care
