Evidence of genetic damage in grass gobies and mussels from the Venice lagoon.
No full textThe presence of genetic damage has been investigated in two native species of the Venice lagoon: the common mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the grass goby Zosterisessor ophiocephalus. Two sampling campaigns were performed in summer 1998 and 1999. Aromatic-like DNA adducts were analysed in selected tissues of gobies and mussels by using the 32P-postlabelling assay. In 1999, micronuclei and other nuclear abnormalities were additionally scored on gill cells and haemocytes of individual mussels whereas inorganic (As, Cd, Cr, Hg, Ni, Pb, Sn) as well as organic contaminants (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls and other chlorinated compounds) were measured in the total mussel pulp. Compared to the lagoon inlet area, gobies and mussels from the industrial district (Marghera) showed significant DNA adduct levels and increased frequencies of cytogenetic alterations (evidence of genetic damage was absent or inconsistent in other sites). The substantial levels of aromatic and chlorinated contaminants detected in mussels from Marghera also support the exposure of native organisms to genotoxic agents
DOLORE E PERCEZIONE DI EFFICACIA DEL TRATTAMENTO: INDAGINE OSSERVAZIONALE
Get PDFThe study has evaluated the subjective pain treatment perception in hospitalized patients with an observational cross-sectional design, using a measurement model based on the American Pain Society-Pain Outcome Modified-Questionnaire (APS-POQ-M). The survey has been designed accordingly with other published studies for results comparison. Data were collected from 350 hospitalized patients - with diagnoses highly related to pain - in 46 medical-surgical units in a large university hospital. Results revealed that 73% of the interviewed declared pain. Current pain, ranged from 0-10, had a median score of 3.8. The worst pain over the last 24 hours scored 6.8 where the 24-hours average pain was 4.9. The patients surveyed reported interference caused by pain in the daily activity, however, they were also generally satisfied with the ongoing pain control treatment. Statistically significant relationships have been found between level of satisfaction with treatment and mood and relationships but none with pain

Get PDFFil: Zampieron, José Francisco. Universidad Nacional de Córdoba. Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades. Secretaría de Posgrado; Argentina.El presente trabajo de investigación se configura a partir de una metodología estrictamente etnográfica en lo digital para responder preguntas elaboradas a lo largo de ella con el objetivo de elaborar un community study en lo digital a fin de comprender los aspectos performativos y de memoria para comunalización en la comunidad digital anglófona “The Home Depot of Gensokyo”. De este modo, la tesis se divide en cinco (5) capítulos; dos (2) de carácter introductorio, dos (2) de carácter de desarrollo y uno (1) con finalidad conclusiva. El primero introduce la antropologia digital y mi encuentro con el campo; el segundo elabora éticas y metodológias; el tercer, más robusto, elaborará los datos densos sobre el territorio que hace posible que se pregunte dónde está esa comunidad, la conexiones sociales que la hace posible y el aspecto demográfico de los actores sociales que la conforman; el cuarto capítulo, por otro lado, elaborará a fondo entendimientos sobre el carácter de la acción en la comunidad, es decir “que se hace y porqué se hace lo que se hace” elaborando experiencias de recreación, identidad, performatividad y memória, creando las ideas base sobre las cuáles podría dar a entender un posible papel de esas categorías de
análisis en la comunalización del grupo transplataforma; el último capítulo, de carácter conclusivo, discute cómo la soledad, el “ser uno mismo” y la cibercultura niche pueden tener papel en la comunalización entre miembros del Home Depot of Gensokyo, permitiendo elaborarla como micro comunidad digital “cercada”, pensando lugares de memoria y archivos de memoria como soporte para los aspectos interaccionistas percibidos durante todo el campo digital y cómo se puede encontrar, a pesar que sea discutible, comunidad y comunalización en lo que llamaré ser “comunidad de recreación” o de “pertenecimiento”.2025-04-17Fil: Zampieron, José Francisco.

No full textUndergraduate nursing students' attitudes towards organ donation: a survey in an Italian university.
No full textAims: To examine undergraduate nursing students' attitudes towards organ donation and to determine whether or not attitudes were related to the students' education and training.
Background: Nurses' knowledge and personal opinion can influence patient's willingness to donate organs or to hold an organ donor card. It is unclear how Italy's future nurses view organ donation.
Methods: The study's source population consisted of third-year undergraduate nursing students enrolled in seven nursing schools from an Italian university during 2008. Respondents completed self-administered quantitative questionnaire with 61 questions, including the Organ Donation Attitude Scale.
Findings: Of the 378 students contacted, 183 (48%) completed all survey questions; 140 were females (76.5%) and the mean age of students was 25. The median score of students' attitude scores towards organ donation was 151 (the attitude is positive when the score is higher than 161). No significant correlations were found to exist between organ-donation attitude and sex, age, clinical practice in hospitals with a transplant unit, nursing care to patients waiting for a transplant or dialysis patients. Only 16% of the students had previously signed a donor card consenting to their own organ donation. The study revealed that doubts about transplantable organs still exist within the student body.
Conclusions: This study highlighted that students' awareness of organ donation was not adequate and that attitude levels were lower than in other countries. If these future workers would receive adequate training, they could promote organ donation to the general public and to other hospital personnel
La visita domiciliare per gli studi di coppia per l'adozione nazionale e internazionale
No full textLa visita domiciliare all’interno dell’indagine di coppia per l’adozione è uno degli strumenti di analisi della capacità dei coniugi di accogliere e curare il futuro figlio adottivo. Durante la visita alla casa di famiglia vengono, infatti, raccolte informazioni capaci di integrare e/o spiegare quanto raccolto nei colloqui individuali e di coppia. Attraverso l’analisi narrativa delle interviste condotte alle assistenti sociali di alcune Équipe Adozioni del territorio veneto, in merito all’utilizzo della visita domiciliare in questo specifico ambito del lavoro sociale, è stato possibile rilevare gli aspetti di somiglianza, pur in assenza di specifiche linee guida, ma anche la non piena attuazione delle potenzialità di questo strumento nella lettura dei contesti
