L'interesse del minore fra paradigmi (e stereotipi) sostanziali e profili processuali
No full textThe paper aims to reflect on some of the problematic aspects posed by the recent reform regarding the unitary family trial rite and in particular the relationship between measures to ensure the best interest of child involved in the conflict and trial. The author doubt that the trial, based on an adversarial logic, can really be the ground or pacifying the conflict. After analyzing some critical issues confirmed by
practice, the A. suggests a convinced separation between measures aimed
at individuals and possible procedural repercussions, in the belief that the
possible consequences at the procedural level depower the role of supportive
interventions, risking distorting the institutional function of the social welfare service system

No full textAutomatic three dimensional feature extraction: the case study of l'Aquila for collapse identification after April 2009
No full textThis paper illustrates an innovative methodology for post-earthquake collapsed building
recognition, based on satellite-image classification methodologies and height variation
information. Together, the techniques create a robust classification that seems to yield good
results in this application field. In the first part of this study, two different feature extraction
methodologies were compared, based respectively on pixel-based and object-oriented
approaches. Then the classification results of the most accurate classification methodology,
obtained on an eight band WorldView-2 monoscopic image, were completed with height
variation information before and after the event. The height difference is calculated,
comparing a photogrammetric DSM, obtained using a photogrammetric rigorous orbital
model on some EROS-B 0.7 metre across-track stereopairs with a ‘roof model’ before the
earthquake.

Particolato atmosferico e snoring: il caso studio “OSAS” nell’area urbana di Roma.

SNORING: IL CASO STUDIO “OSAS”
NELL’ AREA URBANA DI ROMA
Abstracts :
Questo studio focalizza l’attenzione sulle possibili relazioni fra concentrazioni
di particolato atmosferico e una patologia respiratoria di lieve entità,lo Snoring
(fenomeno legato alla resistenza al flusso d’aria nelle vie aeree superiori),che
non rientra ancora nel carico delle patologie di stime sanitarie correlate
all’inquinamento atmosferico. Lo studio “OSAS” è stato condotto dal
Policlinico Gemelli su oltre 350 pazienti residenti nell’area urbana di Roma.Ogni
paziente è stato sottoposto a poligrafia cardiorespiratoria,eseguita a domicilio dal
2008 al 2013,da cui sono state ricavate cinque variabili quantitative. Inoltre per
ciascun paziente sono state raccolte informazioni riguardo alcuni fattori di rischio,
come fumo o obesità. Questi dati sono stati analizzati con la PCA per ricavarne la
struttura di correlazione. Contestualmente, sono stati analizzati i dati di
concentrazione oraria di PM10 rilevati in undici stazioni della rete di monitoraggio
della qualità dell’aria della città di Roma, dal 2008 al 2011. Mediante cluster
analysis sono stati individuati sottogruppi omogenei di stazioni in base ai livelli
di particolato osservato nei diversi anni. Infine ogni paziente,in base alla sua
residenza negli ultimi 10 anni,è stato associato ad una delle stazioni di
monitoraggio,in modo da poter confrontare i risultati dell’analisi dei due insiemi
di dati e verificare l’esistenza di possibili legami. I primi risultati ottenuti
sono stati significativi. Per il futuro si prevede di realizzare un’analisi delle
abitudini dei pazienti e dei luoghi in cui essi risiedono o lavorano. Inoltre si
dovranno anche analizzare le concentrazioni del PM2.5 e PM1, sulle quali è
maggiormente focalizzata l’attenzione della comunità scientifica internazionale e
per le quali i legami con le patologie respiratorie possono essere particolarmente
interessanti in quanto veicolo delle sostanze più tossiche per la salute umana.

Unmanned aerial vehicle for post seismic and other hazard scenarios
No full textOn April 6, 2009, an earthquake hits the old city of L’Aquila resulting in hundreds of victims and thousands of collapses. The post emergency and very crucial phase regarding surveys, structure controls and investigations till now is fully underway. Conventional surveying techniques using high precision total stations, GNSS and laser scanners, are instruments of extreme operability but here are still many evident limits on their use especially regarding the survey of both the roofs and the facades of tall buildings or dangerous places, typical in post earthquake situations. Another very important disadvantage of the traditional surveying, especially during the post seismic periods, regards the overall safety of the instruments, operators and workers. In particular, the seismic sequence that may last for months after the main shock, causing collapses and ulterior damage that in most cases can also damage the transport and communication infrastructure creating important problems for all instruments located in that area and definitely posing a further serious risk for all operators. Moreover, some surveys have to be repeated periodically in order to achieve a final result. On the other hand, by using micro UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) for surveying in such particular scenarios, many of these problems can easily bypassed. For example, there are no accessibility problems for an UAV mainly because of its extreme flying capabilities that can really permit the access of virtually any place. Regarding the security, these instruments are fully remotely controlled, so they do not involve any risk for the operators simply because they are in the dangerous area. For these reasons, in this work, we’ll explain the advantages of multirotor UAVs, fully remotely controlled, to acquire roofs and facades of structures in an old city center damaged by a seismic sequence like L’Aquila city
Exploring the management of recurrent angioedema caused by different mechanisms
No full textPurpose of review We aim to explore the most recent insights into the pathogenesis of recurrent angioedema caused by different mechanisms and then focus on the management and treatment approaches available. Recent findings The recently developed DANCE consensus classification identifies five types of angioedema: mast cell-mediated (AE-MC), bradykinin-mediated, because of intrinsic vascular endothelium dysfunction (AE-VE), drug-induced (AE-DI), and due to unknown mechanisms (AE-UNK). These subtypes require different management with treatment choices targeting the main pathogenetic pathways involved in each form. For AE-MC and AE-BK, the therapeutic landscape has been significantly widened in recent years. Conversely, there is a lack of consensus for the hereditary forms because of newly discovered mutations (factor 12, plasminogen, kininogen-1, myoferlin, angiopoietin-1, heparan sulfate 3-O-sulfotransferase 6) and AE-UNK. Summary Recurrent angioedema can present with or without wheals. Angioedema without wheals may be driven by bradykinin and/or mast cell mediators. The different forms respond to specific drugs and require a different management. For its potentially life-threatening and disfiguring features, angioedema should be promptly recognized and effectively treated. For this reason, enhancing awareness about various angioedema subtypes and their management provide a useful tool for the clinical practice
