    According to the Italian Judicial System, a child under 14 years of age is not criminally responsible. A minor, less than 18 but over 14 years old, can bear criminal responsibility only if competent. This paper discusses some of the clinical aspects of establishing sanity/competency (‘compos mentis’) or insanity/ incompetency (‘non compos mentis’) and the legal and clinical implications of declaring an adolescent offender insane – Can he/she be imprisoned? Hospitalized? Should he/she be treated any differently than a non minor under the same circumstances

    Evaluation and requirements for scale factors from EMRP project MetroDECOM (ENV 54)

    No full text
    The EMRP project MetroDECOM was concerned with research addressing all aspects of nuclear decommissioning in order to deliver integrity and cost-effectiveness in support of clearance and disposal processes as well as improving safety and accuracy. One of the work packages was focused on the characterisation of materials present on decommissioning. Within this work package, work on scaling factors was aimed at applying the principles set out in ISO 21238:2007 to the measurement of contaminated areas in decommissioning sites. In this paper, we report the progress made under MetroDECOM in identifying decommissioning matrices of specific relevance to nuclear decommissioning within the EU and selecting priority hard-to-measure radionuclides for further study. © 2018, Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest, Hungary

    Red Ear Syndrome

    No full text
    The Red Ear syndrome (RES) is an intriguing syndrome originally described for the first time nearly 20 years ago. RES is characterized by unilateral/bilateral episodes of pain and burning sensation of the ear, associated with ipsilateral erythema. RES episodes are indeed isolated in some patients, but they can occur in association with primary headaches, including in particular migraine in the developmental age. Although the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms are still uncertain, in the recent years the described comorbidities have aroused increasing interest because of possible clinical implications. Moreover, RES seems to be more often associated with clinical features of migraine partially provoked by the involvement of the parasympathetic system. This clinical association has shed new light on the pathophysiology of RES, supporting the hypothesis of a shared pathophysiological background, for example, through the activation of the trigeminal autonomic reflex. Current therapies of RES will be also discussed. Finally, we will resume the more controversial aspects of this relatively new and probably underestimated neurological syndrome

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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
