Scenari della cosmetica. Strategie design-oriented e modelli competitivi
No full textL’industria cosmetica negli ultimi anni ha conosciuto una grande evoluzione che investe più aspetti, dai processi produttivi ai prodotti, fino alle strategie di vendita e di distribuzione. Le imprese affrontano un mercato dinamico e vitale in cui si fanno strada piccole aziende, start-up e spin-off che trasformano le geografie della produzione del settore cosmetico e sfidano le leadership storiche delle grandi maison.
Una maggiore consapevolezza dei consumatori e i progressi della tecnologica impongono l’adozione di approcci differenti al design e allo sviluppo di nuovi prodotti. L’ecosistema della cosmetica è chiamato a rispondere all’evoluzione culturale, sociale e tecnologica, accelerando la transizione verso un nuovo paradigma. È indispensabile accogliere una prospettiva transdisciplinare che favorisca il dialogo, il confronto, la contaminazione tra l’hard science (medicina, chimica, biologia) e la soft science, aprendosi alla ricerca nei campi del design e del marketing, così da cogliere e interpretare in modo più efficace i segnali del cambiamento.
Attraverso lo studio e la selezione di casi di successo saranno tracciate le traiettorie evolutive dei comportamenti di consumo e descritti i nuovi modelli di business e le strategie competitive design-oriented, delineando le tematiche emergenti e gli scenari della cosmetica del prossimo futuro

No full textHeart rate variability and target organ damage in hypertensive patients
No full textBackground:
We evaluated the association between linear standard Heart Rate Variability (HRV) measures and vascular, renal and cardiac target organ damage (TOD).
Methods:
A retrospective analysis was performed including 200 patients registered in the Regione Campania network (aged 62.4 ± 12, male 64%). HRV analysis was performed by 24-h holter ECG. Renal damage was assessed by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), vascular damage by carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), and cardiac damage by left ventricular mass index.
Results:
Significantly lower values of the ratio of low to high frequency power (LF/HF) were found in the patients with moderate or severe eGFR (p-value < 0.001). Similarly, depressed values of indexes of the overall autonomic modulation on heart were found in patients with plaque compared to those with a normal IMT (p-value <0.05). These associations remained significant after adjustment for other factors known to contribute to the development of target organ damage, such as age. Moreover, depressed LF/HF was found also in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy but this association was not significant after adjustment for other factors.
Conclusions:
Depressed HRV appeared to be associated with vascular and renal TOD, suggesting the involvement of autonomic imbalance in the TOD. However, as the mechanisms by which abnormal autonomic balance may lead to TOD, and, particularly, to renal organ damage are not clearly known, further prospective studies with longitudinal design are needed to determine the association between HRV and the development of TOD
Occuparsi della città storica / Working with the Historic Centre
No full textIl contributo sintetizza i contenuti dell'intero volume ed illustra i diversi aspetti nei quali il corso di Master ha sviluppato ed articolato nell’anno accademico 2009/2010 il suo progetto di formazione, di ricerca e di critica: dalla città all’architettura, dalla teoria alla prassi, dalle idee alla realtà. Il testo chiarisce la struttura e l’organizzazione del volume, e tende a restituire la complessità del lavoro svolto, chiarendo le motivazioni culturali che sono alla base dell’attivazione del corso, i contenuti scientifici, didattici e sperimentali che sono stati elaborati e forniti durante il corso, le posizioni culturali su cui è stato fondato il lavoro di formazione e le modalità con cui è stato svolto

Quality study of some technical elements in artistic roller skating with use of new technologies.
No full textThe aim of this pilot study was to conduct a first analysis approach on athletic and technical features of artistic roller skating using latest generation hardware such as Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and 50 Hz GPS, in order to establish sport-specific parameters that could create usefull elements not present yet in scientific literatures to evaluate performance. Our protocol was divided into two parts, one using K-Track an 200Hz IMU (K-Sport Universal, Montelabbate, Italy) and with K-Shirt with GPS 50 Hz (K-Sport Universal, Montelabbate, Italy); tests were performed by 2 athletes, one male of high international level and one female of high national level. The use of the two different devices has enabled them to be able to analyze skating in a more objective way and to highlight, above all, the positive and critical elements of the instruments, also to give them specific validation. This study was made with help of ARGS (Advanced Research Group in Sport) founded in 2009 by Prof. Riccardo Izzo of School of Health and Sport Science at Carlo Bo University Urbino and ENG. M.Marcolini of K-Sport universal

Background: The aim of this study is to determine surgical wound infection (SWI) rates in surgical patients using the National nosocomial Infections Surveillance system (NNIS), to monitor current surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis, and to identify possible modifiable risk factors for SWI.
Materials and Methods: Main criteria for hospital wards inclusion were: more than 20 surgical procedures per week, and use amoxycillin/clavulanate (Augmentin) among prophylactic options. Each patient operated from December 1st 2005 to July 31th 2006 was surveyed for 30 days after surgery. SWI cumulative incidence rates and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were calculated.
Results: During the study period, 2068 surgical procedures were performed in 2050 patients. A total of 147 SWI were diagnosed in 142 patients: 82 (57.7"/o) were at superficial incision, 31 (21 .8%) were 81 deep incision and 42 (29.6%) were at organ-space site. Incidence cl SWI every 100 operations was 6.4%. About 86.5% of the operated patients received antimicrobial prophylaxis, mainly with amoxicillin clavulanate (Augmentin) (28.3%) or with imipenem/cilastatin (Tienam) (11.4%). Pre-operative hospital stay> or== 48 h, diabetes, obesity, and HIV/AIDS infection were statistically significantly associated with increased risk of SWI.
Conclusions: The SWI rates found are comparable with European studies and can be a benchmark for national incidence data and for inter- and intra-hospital SWI rate comparisons
Session RPE and Speed High Intensity Distance in Meters (D SHI mt). A valid method to analyze training load in soccer players.
No full textAbstract: The purpose of this study is to verify the physiological effect and describe the intensity of training in response to internal and external loads, through Session Rate of Perceived Exertion and Speed High Intensity Distance in Meters reports, on professional soccer players engaged in weekly training (199 Sessions, 43 weeks) and league games (32 official matches). Twenty-two male professional soccer players (n = 22) of the Italian national championship under-19 are involved in this study during the season 2014-2015. Daily, Weekly and Monthly RPE (perceived exertion) Session (Borg CR-10 Scale) is a good indicator of the amount of work done: training time multiplied by perceived effort (TL = Training Time × RPE). With Arbitrary units (a.u.) produced by the individual and used for team-based data analysis, we analyze the intensity produced by workout depending on the working time. Furthermore, by means of global positioning system technology (K-Sport, Montelabbate PU, Italy 10 Hz), we statistically established the existing relationship with high intensity speed distance (> 16 km/h) and session rate of perceived exertion to describe how the internal (represented by the sum of the stresses that the body undergoes an external load; is strictly subjective) and external loads (the objective quantification of the means used in training km routes, running speed, slope, type of recovery), are correlated (r = 0.87, p <0.01, 95% CI). The statistical analysis highlights how these methods are suitable to quantifying the high-intensity work done by the soccer player during the workout and the game
