No full textStudio computazionale della fluidodinamica nel cuore sinistro in presenza di valvola mitrale da imaging MR dinamico
No full textLAUREA MAGISTRALELo studio e l’analisi quantitativa delle condizioni fluidodinamiche del sangue all’interno del cuore durante le varie fasi del ciclo cardiaco sono stati esplorati in maniera sempre crescente, mostrando numerose utilità da un punto di vista clinico come importante mezzo di supporto per il medico durante una fase di diagnosi e di programmazione di un piano di cura specifico. Una comprensione esausitva preliminare della fluidodinamica in un contesto fisiologio è da ritenersi il punto di partenza per il ripristino della salute del paziente in quanto valutare il discostamento da una condizione fisiologica, porta alla comprensione della tipologia e della severità della patologia, e di conseguenza il medico specalizzato è in grado di attuare il corretto piano di cura. In aggiunta, per aumentare la rilevanza dell'analisi, indagare il comportamento fluidodinamico direttamente sull'anatomia del paziente in esame è fondamentale per poter catturare e comprendere le singolarità anatomiche che lo caratterizzano, e quindi ottenere un quadro clinico sempre più incentrato sul paziente stesso.
Spinti da questa importante motivazione, in questo lavoro viene presentato uno studio computazionale della fluidodinamica del cuore sinistro in condizioni fisiologiche basato sulla ricostruzione paziente-specifica di immagini MR del cuore sinistro di un paziente dell'ospedale Borgo Trento di Verona, Italia, con la presenza inoltre della dinamica paziente-specifica della valvola mitrale. Nello specifico è stato possibile ricostruire la geometria della valvola mitrale attraverso l'utilizzo di una acquisizione dati dedicata, in modo da poter ottenere informazioni inerenti la sua posizione e la sua conformazione durante le varie fasi del ciclo cardiaco; informazioni utilizzate per aumentare il livello di specificità nell'analisi fluidodinamica effettuata. I dati geometrici paziente-specifici ricostruiti durante le fasi del ciclo cardiaco sono stati utilizzati come condizioni al contorno nello studio emodinamico, basato sulle equazioni di Navier-Stokes in un dominio in movimento trattate attraverso un framework basato sull'approccio Arbitrarian Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE), che tiene in conto del dominio computazionale del cuore sinistro in movimento ricostruito, e sul metodo Resistive Immersed Implicit Surface (RIIS), utilizzato per includere la valvola mitrale nel resto del dominio.
Per poter valutare il comportamento emodinamico del cuore sinistro in cui sono state incluse le configurazioni paziente-specifiche della valvola mitrale, è stata investigata la distribuzione della velocità, del flusso sanguigno e della pressione durante le fasi di sistole e diastole del ciclo cardiaco.The study and quantitative analysis of the fluid dynamics conditions of the blood within the heart during the various phases of the cardiac cycle have been increasingly explored, showing numerous utilities from a clinical point of view as an important way to support the doctor during the diagnostic phase and the planning of a specific treatment plan. In order to restore the patient's health, the starting point is a preliminary exhaustive understanding of fluid dynamic in a physiologic context; in fact, assessing the deviation from a physiologic condition leads to an understanding of the type and severity of the pathology, and as a result, the specalized doctor is able to implement the correct plan of care. In addition, to increase the relevance of the analysis, the investigation of the fluid dynamic behavior directly on the anatomy of the patient under examination allows to capture and to understand the anatomical singularities that characterize the patient, and thus to obtain an increasingly patient-centered clinical picture.
Driven by this important motivation, this work presents a computational study of the fluid dynamics of the left heart, with the presence of the patient-specific dynamics of the mitral valve, under physiological conditions based on patient-specific MR image reconstruction of the left heart of a patient at the Borgo Trento Hospital in Verona, Italy. Specifically, it was possible to reconstruct the geometry of the mitral valve through the use of a dedicated data acquisition, so that information inherent its position and conformation during the various phases of the cardiac cycle could be obtained; this information is used to increase the level of specificity in the fluid dynamic analysis performed. The patient-specific geometric data reconstructed during the phases of the cardiac cycle were used as boundary conditions in the hemodynamic study based on the Navier-Stokes equations in a moving domain treated through an Arbitrarian Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) framkwork which takes into account the motion of the reconstructed left heart computational domain, and the Resistive Immersed Implicit Surface (RIIS) method used to include the mitral valve in the rest of the domain.
In order to evaluate the hemodynamic behavior of the left heart in which patient-specific configurations of the mitral valve were included, the distribution of velocity, blood flow, and pressure during the systole and diastole phases of the cardiac cycle was investigated
SUPPORTI TECNOLOGICI PER L’INCLUSIONE E LA COMUNICAZIONE IN BAMBINI CON DISABILITÀ MULTIPLE
No full textThe present study is aimed to assess the efficacy of a computer-based alternative and augmentative communication (AAC) program, for two children with cerebral palsy and multiple disabilities. Results show that both participants increase their communication skills during intervention and post-intervention phases. Undergraduate students involved as raters in a social validation procedure provide scores that are compatible with the hypothesis of rehabilitation worth of the intervention. These results support the clinical validity of the computer-mediate AAC intervention for children with multiple/profound disabilities

Incarcerated foreign minors in Italian: How to treat them?
No full textForeign minors often have problems integrating into Italian society. The two principal reasons for this is their young age, and their different cultural background. The aim of this study is to provide data regarding the treatment of foreign juveniles in the Italian justice system. The authors believe that it is important to create secondary and tertiary prevention services in order to decrease the likelihood of recidivism, and to promote the minor’s integration into the social fabric of their adopted country.
The principal motive for which minors leave their homeland is the search for a new way of life. Persichella wrote of “advance socialization”, a term that refers to the expectations of well being that a foreigner might associate with a particular place. These mental images are often generated by the mass media, as well as by relatives and friends who have already emigrated there. These youngsters are often disappointed upon their arrival in the new country, leaving them in a state of relative deprivation, frustration, and tension, which are significant risk factors for the commission of crimes.
The percentage of foreigners convicted of crimes in Italy has increased over the last decade with respect to the number of convicted Italians. This is true for all crime categories. There are many reasons for this phenomenon. Among them are the conditions in which these immigrants find themselves when they arrive in Italy (e.g. how their previous expectations measure up to the reality of their new existence; how successfully they reintegrate with their families; their ability to enter into the work force; and the influence of both Italian and foreign organized crime groups).
Foreign minors are more frequently placed in jail than their Italian counterparts. This is because it is less likely that they would have access to resources that might allow them to be spared detention (e.g. having a nuclear family; a home; steady employment, etc.) In theory, these foreign juveniles are supposed to have access to detention alternatives, but in reality they must overcome serious obstacles in order to take advantage of them.
Cultural mediation acts to facilitate relationships between individuals from ethnic minority groups and the associated social services that are in place to serve them. The cultural mediator aids the foreigner in understanding how to behave appropriately, and attempts to sensitize him to the customs and way of life in Italy. The cultural mediator also actively participates at various phases of institutional life, for example, in helping the minor to communicate with juvenile justice officials, and with relatives. In addition, the mediator also aids the family in navigating the Italian legal system.
Some juvenile detention centers (IPMs) report a lack of resources and funding necessary to create appropriate treatment plans. They cite, for example, the under utilization of cultural mediators who are often marginalized and relegated to the singular role of interpreter. Cultural mediators are typically only available on an hourly basis, and are not considered to be an integral part of the treatment team. Short stays in IPMs are also reported to be problematic: repeated transfers make it impossible for staff to get to know the minor in order to create an individualized education program.
When considering the usefulness of detention alternatives, the study and development of shareable management models that address the real needs of minors in the juvenile justice system are of fundamental importance. Facilitating the social integration process, appointment of a legal guardian when necessary, and providing qualified legal representation are high on the list of priorities. Only through the development of a united partnership can a welcoming network be created: one that is able to pick up on the first signs of trouble that often confront foreign minors

No full textInternational audienceAs a philosopher interested in anthropology that brings us closer to the concrete, I would like to report on my reading of Norbert Rouland's latest book, Ciels au-delà du ciel-La Chine et les Chinois : croiser nos regards, Paris, Pacifica, 2022. The author is not only a lawyer but also an anthropologist who visited China several times at the end of the last century. This book brings together three types of theme, all centred on the idea of pluralism: the plurality of conceptions of human rights and democracy, the plurality of developments in the status of women, and the plurality of developments in anthropology.Philosophe intéressée par l'anthropologie qui nous rapproche du concret, je voudrais rendre compte de la lecture du dernier ouvrage de Norbert Rouland, Ciels au-delà du ciel-La Chine et les Chinois : croiser nos regards, Paris, Pacifica, 2022. Son auteur est juriste mais aussi anthropologue, il est allé plusieurs fois en Chine à la fin du siècle dernier. Cet ouvrage regroupe trois sortes de thèmes, tous centrés sur l'idée de pluralisme : la pluralité des conceptions des droits de l'homme et de la démocratie, la pluralité des évolutions concernant le statut de la femme, la pluralité des évolutions de l'anthropologie

Non-factorisable contribution to -channel single-top production
No full textWe compute the non-factorisable corrections to
-channel single-top quark production at the LHC. These peculiar corrections
arise because of interactions between the heavy- and the light-quark lines and
appear for the very first time at next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbative
QCD. We find that the non-factorisable corrections change the single-top
production cross section and the relevant kinematic distributions in this
process by about half a percent.Comment: 29 pages, 5 figure
