L'importanza delle differenze di genere nella valutazione dello stress lavoro correlato percepito
No full textnovità assolute che ha proposto la normativa relativa alla prevenzione
nei luoghi di lavoro.
Il testo unico introduce l’obbligo della valutazione del rischio da
stress lavoro correlato nonché quelli connessi alle differenze di genere.
Le differenze di genere devono essere tenute in considerazione nella
valutazione dello stress lavoro-correlato infatti le evidenze scientifiche
hanno dimostrato come sia aspetti di carattere biologico che differenze
socio-ambientali siano in grado di modulare la diversa percezione e la
conseguente risposta allo stress.
Sotto il profilo biologico è noto come i livelli di estrogeni siano capaci
di modulare negativamente la presenza di recettori ipotalamici e ipofisari
dei glucocorticoidi, rendendo, quindi, il feed-back meno efficace.
Per spiegare in modo esauriente l’importanza delle differenze di genere
rispetto al fenomeno dello stress lavoro-correlato è opportuno, dopo
aver considerato fattori di carattere biologico e comportamentale, mettere
in risalto fattori dell’ambiente e del contesto che possono amplificare
e predisporre al rischio stress.
La valutazione del rischio da stress lavoro-correlato deve tenere
conto delle differenze di genere e per il raggiungimento di tale scopo
sono richieste delle competenze di carattere specialistico ed una specifica
formazione da parte delle figure professionali che ruotano attorno alla
gestione dello stress. Inoltre è richiesto che tali figure siano capaci di
cooperare apportando ognuno il proprio contributo all’assolvimento di
questo obiettivo.absolute
novelty that has proposed legislation on prevention at workplaces.
The law introduces the obligation to assess the risk of stress related
work as well as those related to gender differences.
Gender differences need to be taken into account in the work-related
stress assessment. In fact, scientific evidence has shown that both biological
aspects and socio-environmental differences are capable to modulate
the different perception and consequent response to stress.
Regarding the biological profile is known as estrogen levels are able
to modulate negatively the presence of hypothalamic and hypophysaric
glucocorticoid receptors, thus making the feed-back less effective.
In order to fully explain the importance of gender differences about
the work-related stress, it is appropriate, after considering biological and
behavioral factors, to emphasize environmental and context factors that
can amplify and predispose to the risk stress.
The work-related work stress risk assessment must take into account
gender differences and, to achieve this goal, specialist skills are required
and a specific training by professional figures around the management of
stress is required. It is also required that these figures are able to cooperate
by bringing each contribution to the attainment of this goal
Incidence of Rotavirus-Related Hospitalizations in an Italian Southern Region from 2015 to 2021
Full text link(1) Background: Rotavirus is one of the leading causes of severe diarrhea and dehydration in infants and young children worldwide. The economic and social burden of rotavirus-related hospitalizations, particularly among children, remains a pressing concern for healthcare systems across the globe. Healthcare infrastructure and access to medical care can vary significantly within the region. Differences in the availability of healthcare facilities and the quality of care may influence the management and outcomes of rotavirus cases. (2) Methods: This was a retrospective study performed in the Abruzzo region, Italy. The study considered all hospitalization due to rotavirus gastroenteritis that occurred in the Abruzzo region from the year 2015 to 2021. Data were extracted from the hospital discharge records. The trend in hospital admissions, hospitalization costs and length of stay were evaluated and analyzed. (3) Results: A total of 664 admissions were reported during the study period. The incident rate grew till year 2019 with an annual percentage change of +13.9% (95%CI 12.6–15.2, p < 0.001). During the pandemic years, the incident rate showed a significant decrease with an annual percentage change of 12.5% (95%CI 15.5–9.3, p = 0.004). The length of stay of admissions was significantly higher among patients aged less than 1 year. (4) Conclusions: Rotavirus admission represents a heavy burden even in a high-income country such as Italy. These findings have the potential to inform targeted public health interventions, including vaccination strategies, and improve the overall well-being of children
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
