Feticismo e sentimenti
No full textIn questo volume appare, per la prima volta in lingua italiana, la traduzione del secondo capitolo del III tomo del monumentale Sistema di politica positiva, che segna l’ultima fase dell’opera del sociologo e filosofo francese Auguste Comte (1798-1857). Ne è oggetto il feticismo, già specificamente tematizzato in una lezione, la 52°, del Corso di filosofia positiva. Rispetto a quest’ultima emergono novità sostanziali, tali da autorizzare a parlare, più in generale, di un nuovo e «ultimo» Comte: insospettabile precursore dello strutturalismo, come argomenta tra l’altro nel suo contributo, in particolare attraverso Claude Lévi-Strauss, Lorenzo Scillitani; «padre fondatore» della sociologia tra i più sensibili al tema delle emozioni, come argomenta nella sua introduzione Paolo Iagulli, per il quale l’inedito primato del sentimento che caratterizza la nuova tematizzazione del feticismo è «solo» la spia della prospettiva sociologica generale del Comte più maturo. Impreziosiscono il volume le acute riflessioni di Roberto Righi, consegnate al contributo di chiusura

The use of the spinal immobilization in prehospital settings is still the most effective device for the patient’s safety? A narrative review of the literature
No full textIntroduction: in out-of-hospital treatment, immobilization of the spine with the spinal board and cervical collar has been considered the best method to ensure patient safety for many years. In recent years, many doubts have arisen about the actual effectiveness of this practice. The aim of this paper is to find out if this garment is still the best for the patient and to find possible alternatives to its use.
Materials and Methods: a literature search was conducted by consulting Medline databases via PubMed, GoogleScholar, Web of science and Scopus. The search was conducted in the month of January 2023. Articles in Italian and English dealing with the use of the spinal board and other immobilization aids published within the last 5 years were included.
Results: 33 articles were identified in the various databases and 10 articles were subsequently included in the review.
Discussion: the use of the spinal board in the out-of-hospital setting is no longer the most effective method of ensuring patient safety and can only be used in certain cases. The use of spinal motion restriction takes the field as an alternative technique.
Conclusions: it is necessary that standard immobilization with a cervical collar and spinal board be performed only in cases where it is considered truly necessary. Operators should use tools that help them identify such high-risk individuals
Evaluating Terminal Management Performances Using SLAM: The Case Of Athens International Airport
No full textAthens in Greece is the city selected to host the 2004 Olympic Games. Many simulations and analyses have been performed in order to properly approach the logistics problems arising from such an event. In this paper we address one of these problems. More precisely, we present a model for analyzing the terminal of AIA (Athens International Airport) under three different scenarios: (i) a historic scenario, based on a typical “busy day”, (ii) a foreseeable scenario with AIA becoming a hub and increasing its traffic volume, and (iii) a traffic intense scenario, as expected during the 2004 Olympic Games. The airport simulation is performed through the OPAL platform. While the airside analysis does not evidence any major cause of congestion, the landside, evaluated through an enhanced version of the Simple Landside Aggregate Model (SLAM), shows possible situations of congestion with a consequent degradation in the level of service provided. The use of SLAM allows signaling out the bottlenecks and the corresponding possible causes. A simple modification in the airport policies is sufficient to significantly improve the overall performance
Il sindacato nella società industriale
No full textIl periodo che va dalla fine degli anni '50 agli anni '80 costituiscce un ciclo storico che cambia in profondità la società italiana. E' un periodo nel quale il sindacato diviene un importante protagonista sia come organizzazione in grado di fornire rappresentanza al conflitto sociale sia come soggetto collettivo in grado di operare sul terreno della mediazione e della contrattazione.Il volume è suddiviso in tre parti: la prima esamina i fattori che rendono possibile il grande slancio del 1959-'63 e i suoi effetti, considerandone i legami con la successiva ondata di conflittualità dell'Autunno caldo e con la spinta unitaria. La seconda parte analizza il ruolo del sindacato unitario che nel corso degli anni '70 riesce a porsi anche come soggetto politico in grado di porsi come interlocutore permanente nell'ambito delle scelte di politica economica. Nell'ultima parte l'attenzione si sposta sulla complessità dei problemi, ancora poco indagati dalla sttoriografia, dei "lunghi anni '80" che aprono una stagione di crisi e di rinnovamento del sindacato
Valutazione della superfice corporea ustionata (TBSA) e la rianimazione con fluidi in ambito extraospedaliero: una revisione narrativa della letteratura [Total Body Surface Area (TBSA) burned assessment and fluid therapy in prehospital emergency setting: a narrative review of literature]
No full textIntroduction: Accurate estimation of burn size is of paramount importance in the out-of-hospital setting to calculate fluid requirements for infusion and to avoid complications by improving clinical outcomes for patients. Fluid resuscitation is one of the priority interventions in the early management of patients with extensive burns and, in the literature, there are several formulas for determining fluid requirements that also consider the percentage of total body surface area burned (TBSA).
Materials and methods: The objective of this work is to understand the level of accuracy of methods for assessing % TBSA burns in the out-of-hospital setting, and how much this aspect affects the correct calculation of fluids to be infused into the burn patient. For this purpose, a literature
review was conducted by consulting the MEDLINE, PubMed interface, CINAHL, SCOPUS, and Google Scholar databases.
Results: All studies included in the review emphasize the importance of correct assessment of % TBSA because, inaccurate estimation of burn size
occurs frequently in clinical practice, with important consequences for both patients.
Discussion: The most frequently reported error is the overestimation of burn size, which tends to be more significant in small burns. The review
shows that new techniques and methods are needed to help healthcare personnel in improving TBSA estimates. For example, clinical aids, computer-assisted methods, or smartphone applications are suggested.
Conclusions: The accuracy of early measurement affects all subsequent choices, from fluid management to management regarding transport
and hospitalization.

La somministrazione dei farmaci per via intranasale in ambito extra-ospedaliero: una revisione narrativa della letteratura [Intranasal drug administration in prehospital emergency setting: a narrative review of literature]
No full textABSTRACT
Introduction: The pre-hospital emergency environment often requires a fast and highly effective pharmacological treatment of the
patient; two qualities that do not always easily coexist. Literature considers the intravenous route the gold standard in emergencies
because of its high effectiveness; however, establishing a venous access in a complex pre-hospital scenario could be challenging or impossible,
causing a delay in the treatment. Furthermore, the risk for accidental needlestick injuries could be exacerbated in the agitatation of an emergency situation. The purpose of this review is to define how intranasal drug administration may represent an alternative route of administration in
the pre-hospital emergency setting in terms of safety, efficacy, rapidity and ease of use.
Methods: The search for bibliographic sources was carried out by consulting Medline’s database, CINHAL and Web of Science, from May to
June 2021. The filters applied to research the articles were: English language and availability of full text.
Results: Twenty-six articles were included for review. These articles offer a general overview of intranasal drug administration and analyze the
possible use of this route in some medical emergencies: acute pain, seizures, opioid overdose and psychomotor agitation.
Conclusions: Intranasal drug delivery represents an advantageous option in pre-hospital emergencies because of its high effectiveness, and the
reduction of administration times. Moreover, it showed a high-safety profile for healthcare providers, since it doesn’t require the handling of needles thereby reducing needlestick injuries.
