    Il presente lavoro si propone di presentare spunti di riflessione sull’attività di ricerca sulla pianificazione condivisa delle cure (PCC) nel contesto italiano. I sugge-rimenti presentati in questo articolo si basano su un progetto di ricerca multicentrico e multiprofessionale condotto con persone con sclerosi multipla, lo studio pilota Con-Cure-SM. Il contributo, dopo aver delineato le fasi del progetto e i suoielementi carat-terizzanti, si concentra su alcuni aspetti ritenuti meritevoli di attenzione, inparticolare: le barriere e gli elementi facilitanti nella ricerca sulla PCC; gli strumenti per misurare l’impatto di una PCC; la formazione degli operatori sanitari sul tema; la gestione del tempo in un processo di PCC

    La transizione dal politeismo al monoteismo a Verona e nel veronese

    No full text
    Si ha qui l’obiettivo di raccogliere e di interpretare alcune tra le copiose testimonianze storiche provenienti dall’ambito geografico veronese di città e di contado risalenti perlopiù al secolo IV, periodo in cui, a Verona come in tutto l’Impero, successivamente alla coesistenza, si è verificata la progressiva sostituzione del monoteismo cristiano al politeismo pagano-romano. Questo è avvenuto nell’arco temporale tra il cosiddetto editto costantiniano di Milano del 313 e l’editto teodosiano di Tessalonica del 380. A sostegno delle argomentazioni saranno apportati documenti di tipo archeologico, epigrafico, e letterario di produzione ecclesiastica

    “I beg you to tell me what has become of Djamila”: The Political Mobilization of Simone de Beauvoir’s Readers During the Boupacha Affair

    By Sophia Millman This is a condensed version of a Masters thesis dedicated to the political mobilization of Simone de Beauvoir’s readers. The citations from the letters were translated from French by the author. *** On June 2, 1960, the French government ordered all copies of the daily Algiers edition of Le Monde seized and destroyed to suppress the publication of Simone de Beauvoir’s article “Pour Djamila Boupacha.” Beauvoir, a self-professed “woman of letters”, not “of action[1]”, and one ..

    A comparative study of form and theology in the works of Flannery O'Connor and Simone Weil

    In this comparative study of the form and theology of Flannery O'Connor and Simone Weil I interrogate how Weil's philosophical writings and her theology illuminate O'Connor's use of both narrative and non-fictional forms, and her Catholicism. The Introduction analyses how Weil's concept of superposed reading provides a new method of approaching both O'Connor, her writings, and O'Connor studies, and focuses on how such apparently different women interconnect. Chapter One explores how both Weil and O'Connor attempt to write their theologies on the souls of their readers yet are each subject to constraints imposed by form. Weil's concept of locating equilibrium between incommensurates is discussed, and her distinctively philosophical approach to fictions and fictionality is used to investigate O'Connor's notion of prophetic fictions and the writer's role. Chapter Two assesses how both writers revivify Christian paradoxes. Weil's monstrous concept of affiiction, and O'Connor's use of the grotesque genre to jolt secular man into an awareness of the sacred are scrutinised. Chapter Three studies how both writers consider an encounter between God and man is possible through the action of grace. My Conclusion interrogates how Weil's work can deepen our understanding of O'Connor's writings, and examines how successful O'Connor is at realising a truly Christian literature. I conclude that despite being a writer of powerful fictions, O'Connor can not be totally successful in her mission as writer-prophet because ultimately fiction escapes orthodoxy

    Indoor activity monitoring for mutual reassurance

    Population ageing is rising issues concerning the sustainabil-ity of older seniors assistance. A possible solution can be avoiding early retirement in nurse houses by providing the family and the senior(s) with an unobtrusive monitoring system, mainly based on motion sensors, capable of extending their independent living. The presented system processes the collected data to infer when the person exits and enters, his/her position inside the house, and the occupancy of the house areas. Such information is made available to the family through a set of purposefully designed graphical interfaces and prompt notifications. Preliminary results are satisfying, showing it is possible to restore Mutual Reassurance

    PIR probability model for a cost/reliability tradeoff unobtrusive indoor monitoring system

    PIR (Pyroelectric InfraRed) sensors can be used to detect the presence of humans without the need for them to wear any device. By construction, the fields of view of the sensors are not uniform both in terms of vision space and of sensitivity. The aim of this work is twofold: to provide a probabilistic model of the sensorsâ detection sensitivity with respect to the movement of the person and of his/her emission surface, and to identify the probability of detection within an area covered by multiple PIR sensors. This allows the computation of the coverage of the PIRs and their optimal arrangement that maximizes the probability of detection of the person
