    List of the enlarged sample of 1081 NEOs considered in the analysis, putting together objects observed in this work, in Ieva et al. (2018A&A...615A.127I), in Perna et al. (2018P&SS..157...82P), in Devogele et al. (2019AJ....158..196D, Cat. J/AJ/158/196) and available online on the MITHNEOS campaign. For each object we report absolute magnitude H, taxonomic classification, average albedo and estimated diameter for NEOs. Absolute magnitudes are taken from the JPL HORIZON database (https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi); average albedoes are derived from the ones reported on the HORIZON database. Diameters are computed using the relation found by Bowell et al. (1989BAAS...21..969B)

    What do time and space represent in respect to the "ancient" object? What is the author's task relating to the archaeological area design? This contribution aims to make a reflection on these themes starting from the ancient-future dyad which determines the relationship of past evidence the value of which is recognized in a shared manner, with a phenomenal perception based not solely on knowledge, but also on the discovery of what is not achievable by pure scientific investigation obtained by the use of discipline tools designated to study such phenomena. In Addition to the assumption of the interdependence relationship between the ancient world and the author, especially in regard to the critical exercise of the design and its congruence with the life expectancy of the object, stands the subjective-existential component which is expressed through an intentional “sensitive acting”, not always controllable with rational purposes. An attempt at conciliation aimed to avoid acting too harshly on individuality is the awareness that one must feel transported into a "becoming in the amidst", as Deleuze and Guattari note, achieving a mediated position that manages to review one's limits and boundaries, to the point of being de territorilized. . With these premises, this section dedicated to the designs developed in the archaeological area as part of the activities carried out with last year's summer school/design workshop in Canosa di Puglia comes to a beginning

    A semiparametric bivariate probit model for joint modeling of outcomes in STEMI patients

    In this work we analyse the relationship among in-hospital mortality and a treatment effectiveness outcome in patients affected by ST-Elevation myocardial infarction. The main idea is to carry out a joint modeling of the two outcomes applying a Semiparametric Bivariate Probit Model to data arising from a clinical registry called STEMI Archive. A realistic quantification of the relationship between outcomes can be problematic for several reasons. First, latent factors associated with hospitals organization can affect the treatment efficacy and/or interact with patient’s condition at admission time. Moreover, they can also directly influence the mortality outcome. Such factors can be hardly measurable. Thus, the use of classical estimation methods will clearly result in inconsistent or biased parameter estimates. Secondly, covariate-outcomes relationships can exhibit nonlinear patterns. Provided that proper statistical methods for model fitting in such framework are available, it is possible to employ a simultaneous estimation approach to account for unobservable confounders. Such a framework can also provide flexible covariate structures and model the whole conditional distribution of the response

    In recent years we are facing a growing attention paid by governments, organizations and companies on environmental issues. Academics have studied the role of different marketing innovations in leading to positive consequences for the environment. Among the four, innovation in product design and packaging has been regarded by the marketing literature as the starting point for many companies which intend to follow a path towards sustainability in their innovation activities. However, little is known on the specific EBs that could be achieved by the product design and packaging innovation. In this respect, the present study aims to shed light on the environmental contribution driven by innovation in product design and packaging in achieving environmental benefits, through an empirical analysis of the latest available Community Innovation Survey in Portugal related to the period 2012-2014. We run four logistic regression models on manufacturing companies where environmental benefits are a function of innovation in product design and marketing. Results show that the introduction of a product design and packaging marketing innovation yields environmental benefits, specifically, product recycling benefits and extended product life. Companies are called to consider introducing a product design and packaging innovation as it could represent a first meaningful step towards sustainabilit

    Efficiency of Deep Core Muscles Training on Patients with Low Back Pain Vilnius University Faculty of Medicine Department of Rehabilitation, Physical and Sports Medicine Bachelor Degree of Physiotherapy Efficiency of Deep Core Muscles Strengthening Exercises on Patients with Low Back Pain Physiotherapy Bachelor's Thesis The Author: Ieva Povilauskaitė Academic advisor: Lecturer dr. Ieva Eglė Jamontaitė The aim of research work: measure the efficiency of come muscles strengthening exercises in treating lower back pain Tasks of work: 1. Compare deep core muscles strengthening exercises with conventional physiotherapy for lower back muscles strengthening. 2. Compare deep core muscles strengthening exercises with conventional physiotherapy for developing lower back range of motion. 3. Compare deep core muscles strengthening exercises with conventional physiotherapy for lowering lower back pain. Materials and methods: The research took place in Vilnius university Medicine faculty rehabilitation, physical and sport medicine cathedral and Public Enterprise VUL Santariškių clinic ambulatory rehabilitation department. The research included 20 people who were separated in two groups (10 people each). Group one was trained using deep core muscles strengthening exercises program, group two was trained using conventional physiotherapy. The parameters of research were taken at the beginning of the treatment and after 10 procedures. The parameters were compared to each other. Parameters of the treatment were taken using Dr. Wolff machine used to determine the strength of lower back muscles; Digital analog scale (SAS) used to determent the intensity of pain; Inclinometers for evaluating range of motion about a joint. Results: Muscles engaged in lower back movement in intervention group got significantly stronger (p0,05). Conclusions: Deep core muscles exercises are reliable method for lowering lower back pain. It is also a good method for strengthening muscles engaged in lower back movement and rage of motion. Both engaged group and control group methods works equally well for lowering lower back pain. Conventional physiotherapy is a better method for strengthening lower back muscles. However, deep core muscles works better for recovering lower back’s range of motion. In conclusion, deep core muscles exercises is a good method for lower back pain rehabilitation but in order to have well rounded rehabilitation it should be used combined with conventional physiotherapy
