Le assicurazioni “Assistenza di lungo periodo” (LTCI)
No full textInnovativo prodotto assicurativo privato, le polizze assistenza di lungo periodo, sembrano proporsi come un interessante strumento di integrazione tra assistenza pubblica e privata ai soggetti verso quegli individui che per età avanzata e/o per patologie vengano a trovarsi in una situazione di perdita dell'autosufficienza.
In Italia, tale prodotto è ancora in una fase di presentazione e gli Autori ne sottolineano le principali caratteristiche attuariali e socio-economiche, discutendo inoltre le questioni medico-legali che la polizza propone e che vanno risolte per consentire alla copertura assicurativa quello sviluppo che la stessa indiscutibilmente merita per la sua possibile funzione sociale
Il D.M. del 22 dicembre 2000. Un dubbio passo avanti per le polizze “assistenza di lungo periodo” (LCTI).
No full textIl D. M. 22 dicembre 2000 rappresenta un importante momento legislativo in quanto per la prima volta si cerca di incentivare attraverso degli sgravi fiscali la utenza a stipulare un contratto assicurativo privato, e tanto per reperire risorse finanziarie utili a fronteggiare la pressante questione del soddisfacimento dei bisogni delle persone non autosufficienti, e degli anziani in particolare stante il progressivo invecchiamento della popolazione.
Il suddetto decreto, peraltro, impone al contratto dei requisiti forse troppo estensivi per l'accertamento medico-legale della perdita della autosufficienza, e che per tale motivo non è probabile possano essere recepiti dalle società di assicurazione che difatti fino ad ora hanno inteso adottare una criteriologia decisamente più restrittiva per rendere operativa la garanzia prestata
Ipotesi di valutazione percentuale della riduzione della capacità al lavoro da patologia cardiovascolare
No full textSulla base di uno studio statistico operato su un campione di 1977 soggetti esaminati presso l’Istituto di Medicina Pubblica e della Sicurezza Sociale della II Facoltà medica di Napoli in relazione ad incarichi di C.T.U., vengono prospettate, sotto forma di tabelle, proposte di valutazione percentuale di riduzione della capacità al lavoro da patologia cardio-vascolare.
I valori ottenuti provengono dall’elaborazione dei “pesi” statistici assunti dalle singole patologie cardiovascolari nei casi in cui esse si inserivano in un complesso morboso di significato invalidante. Nella trasformazione dei “pesi” in espressioni percentuali di ridotta capacità lavorativa si è tenuto conto degli elementi di carattere fisiopatologico e clinico
Informed consent when taking genetic decisions
No full textDevelopments in genetics with diagnostic, pre-symptomatic and predictive testing involve significant changes in decision-making process, because of the complexity of genetic information and the difficulty related to understanding the causes and mechanism of genetic diseases, ethical, psychological and social implications (psychological stress, anxiety, discrimination in employment and assurance, difficulties in interpersonal relationship), indirect involvement of third parties. When taking genetic decisions , the patient should receive all the informations about the objective and the type of the test, the hypothetical risk, the possibility of obtaining unexpected results, possible psycho – physical repercussion, and means of support for the long time that might pass between the diagnostic hypothesis and the possible onset of the disease: genetic counseling is a complx but essential operation for acquiring the informed consent of the patient. The outlined peculiarities of the process for informed consent in genetics requires the adequat training of medical personnel, to manage the relationship with the patient in these complex cases

The effective enforcement of energy transition is one of the keys to the successful
fight to climate change. The interplay between the sustainable UN Agenda 2030 goals
is a new interesting ground for the development of intersectorial and
multidisciplinary studies.
Thanks to University of Camerino which is focused on the contamination between
different scientific areas and really engaged in strengthening international research, a
group composed by more than forty researchers of ten different nationalities is
studying the energy policies and the new phenomenon of energy prosumerism. This
book is the first direct result of the research activities granted by University of
Camerino under the Programme FAR 2019 in the ECPE Project ‘Enabling Consumer to
become Prosumer in the Energy transition era’ (more details about the project ECPE
are available at https://ecpe.unicam.it/).
The object of this book is to collect and analyze the main barriers to self-consumption
and prosumerism. Difficult as it is to discuss all obstacles in a single volume, the book
focuses on selected barriers which impede the development of new types of fossil free
energy production and consuption.
The energy communities could play a central role in the implementation of the energy
transition strategies, but legal, social, economic, political and cultural barriers can
hinder their spread.
To analyze the barriers and to find how to eliminate the obstacles to energy transition
policies is pivotal to enhance research activities focused on the new EU Regulatory
framework. Most in general it is crucial a multidisciplinary approach focused on the
fight to climate change and the implementation of sustainable development. In this
book are collected several articles which offer a different perspective on the energy
transition barriers form different points of view and under different methodologies.
The book is composed of four parties. The first one is dedicated to the analysis of the
methodology and the results offered by questionnaires supplied online in two
languages (Italian/English). The survey is the basis of the Working Paper which is the
deliverable of the ECPE Work Programme n. 2 and which constitutes the ground for a
discussion into the research group. The second part of the volume collects the
contributions focused on the social and economic barriers to prosumerism, while the
third one is dedicated to a description of failure cases of self consumption
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
