In recent years, following the introduction of new therapies, the life expectancy of patients with cystic fibrosis has increased significantly, exceeding the 50-year age threshold. This has also resulted in a change in demographics so that today, nearly 60 percent of patients with cystic fibrosis are adults. Thus, the adult population is burdened not only with the clinical features characteristic of the disease but also with the pathological conditions typical of aging (from hypertension to heart disease). This change in cystic fibrosis highlights the importance of a transition process from pediatric to adult medicine, in the same way as with other chronic diseases. Therefore, the objective of this review article will be to focus on the peculiarities of the transitional population and the creation of a transitional care model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To answer some evaluation questions, the Independent Evaluation process of the Veneto Region's Smart Specialisation Strategy (ROP ERDF 2014-2020) will be taken as a case study, considering the subsequent preparation of the new M&E system (2021-2027). Starting from the reference context and the definition of the evaluand, the article lists the methods and analysis techniques used to demonstrate the importance of implementing learning and empowerment-oriented evaluation paths in order to provide policymakers with a basis for the preparation of the next Programming period.

The article outlines the document production process in some Italian research institutions and compares it to the same pre-pandemic time span by analyzing whether or not the work organization models that have been adopted have had an impact on the completion time of administrative procedures. The aim was to verify the trend of the performance indicators after the pandemic impact and how the absence of employees at work may have influenced the organizational models. Within specific administrative realities, human relationship is often a pillar to carry out activities correctly. The transition to the management of remote procedures carried out totally in digital form caused inevitably important consequences on the expected results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The contribution has two objectives, on the one hand it intends to reflect on the relationship of "theology" and of "historical-cultural contexts", taking care to highlight and describe the highest moments of dialogue and those of crisis as they are given in becoming of history; on the other hand, it is proposed, instead, to tackle and re-present a theme more internal to the life of the church, that is, reflection on the foundations of Christian morality. In this context, the Author suggests a comparison with the theological-moral proposal of the Redemptorist moral theologian Domenico Capone, from which emerges an itinerary of reflection that is not closed but open to new and future additions.

The main objective of this article is to highlight the phenomenon of love addiction both theoretically and clinically, treated in a psychodynamic oriented therapy group aimed at women only. It was primarily considered an overview of laws protecting women victims of gender-based violence. Subsequently, after considering the group therapeutic factors, emphasis was placed on the inclusion of a silent observer, in order to understand any changes in women's hostile perception of the male figure. Particular attention has been paid to the participants' life stories and predominant emotions, through clinical examples. The method used for conducting the group is based on the psycho-dynamic psychoanalytic model, through the analysis of the dynamics of transference-countertransference, dreams and associations. The conclusions reached, in agreement with the literature, confirm the fundamental role of the childhood experience of abandonment and neglect in the genesis of affective addiction in adulthood, the intense need for childhood love to be satisfied as the basis and presupposition for the future capacity to love, the progressive perception of freedom by women in telling themselves in front of a non-judging male figure, and the decisive role of the group framework in supporting and promoting the well-being of the participants.

Bonaventure's interpretation of the Franciscan choice of poverty is embedded within his philosophy of the status viae; that is, of the existential conditions in which man's journey through time towards eternity takes place. The homo pauper is the homo viator and the status viae is the exile on earth: begun with the loss of Eden's gifts of innocence due to original sin and continuing on the path that returns to the heavenly home in which it will fully realize human existence. However, Bonaventure affi rms in his works that the status gloriae requires the anticipation of the status gratiae. Grace, a divine life in which man participates, is the power of God that heals the wounds caused by sin and once more gives us a chance for communion with God. However, God gives Himself to those who seek him-observes Bonaventure and to seek him, it is necessary to desire him: desire arises from the recognition of one's own nothingness in the face of the Absolute. For this reason, humility is the door that opens up to truth and salvation. Humility is closely linked with poverty: both express the radical contingency of the creature and both can become evangelical virtues if, in faith, one opens himself to God's love. It is the imitation of Christ-Incarnate Word of the Father, who made Himself naked and poor out of love, the believer's one exemplar-which is the motivation that drives voluntary poverty to be the privileged evangelical choice.

We provide a historical overview of the evolution of the concept of health promotion and education in Italy, focusing especially on the experience of the "Experimental Centre for Health Promotion and Education" (CeSPES), University of Perugia. By reviewing the documents and the scientific production of the CeSPES, we describe its achievements and contributions to the field, as well as its future prospects. New digital infrastructures and information and communication technologies (ICTs) could offer, indeed, unprecedented possibilities for actively involving and empowering citizens and patients, even though there is an urgent need to validate the online health-related material, which is sometimes of poor quality and misleading. The training of health education professionals still remains a priority, in that training is central not only to increase citizen 's health literacy, but also to promote their empowerment, as well as to cope with new challenges, such as those imposed by migrants and the Web.

The A. analyses the work Seelsorge, a text dedicated to spiritual guidance, composed by Bonhoeffer in his role as formator of candidates for pastoral ministry. There we find an outline of the Lutheran pastor's thinking on this topic, and we can see there the evolution within his work. The central elements around which his entire thinking revolves are the authority of the Word, the recognition of one's own sinfulness, and participation in the suffering of God.

Rosetta Loy wrote seven novels, a collection of short stories, and a memoir of her life as a child in Rome at the time of the Fascist racial laws. The first part of this article shows that many topics, situations and characters recur with an unusually high frequency in her work. The second part shows the changing details with which some characters or events are invested in different versions of the same stories. The third and final part suggests three possible reasons for this way of writing. They are: an elaborate search for narrative effectiveness, a deep-rooted need to understand and, when possible, to integrate different points of view on some of the characters and their moral choices, and the desire to explore the effects that small alterations caused by chance can have on the course of human lives.

Most of the wheat areas in Italy are located in areas characterized by high inhomogeneities from the pedological, orographic and climatic point of view. In this context, the precision fertilization in function of crop needs, has had a positive impact on both economic and environmental sustainability. In the integrated projects of the "Pasta dei Coltivatori Toscani" chain and the " Grani Antichi Nuove Tecniche di lavorazione ", supported by the Rural Development Program of the Tuscany Region, some testing farms have been provided with operating machines capable of parallel guidance and monitoring yields, precision distribution models for nitrogen fertilizer, remote monitoring systems, and a computerized business dossier capable of processing and storing parcel information. This basic knowledge informations are an important element for the improvement and extension of sitospecific field practice. In this framework, SITIfarmer software was used as a platform dedicated to precision agriculture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Il consumo di alcol costituisce un importante fattore di rischio associato ad infortuni e incidenti nei luoghi di lavoro. Scopo dello studio è stimare l'uso di alcol in 234 studenti di Infermieristica e valutare l'efficacia di due questionari, il CAGE (C=Cut down, A=Annoyed by criticism, G=Guilty, E=Eye opener) e il BMAST (Brief Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test). Abuso di alcol è stato rilevato con il questionario BMAST nell'1,7% dei soggetti e con il questionario CAGE nel 9.0%, e l'analisi dei dati evidenzia scarsa correlazione tra i due questionari (r = 0,3222). L'abuso di alcol ha riguardato prevalentemente soggetti con età media di 28,4±2,2 anni (vs.24,2±0,39 anni, p-value = 0,005), con scarse differenze di genere, stato civile e nazionalità e con prevalenza in soggetti che non coltivano hobby (18,6% vs. 5,8%, p-value = 0,003). I dati evidenziano abuso di alcol in studenti di Infermieristica e maggiore efficacia del questionario CAGE come strumento di screening per rilevare condizioni di abuso alcolico.
