Introduction: Individuals with hearing loss frequently encounter augmented listening-related fatigue due to the elevated effort required for auditory processing, which can be evaluated using Vanderbilt Fatigue Scale Adults (VFS-A-40). The objective of this study was cross-culturally adapt VFS-A-40 into Italian and validate version scale (VFS-A-40-Ita). Methods: employed an observational design, rigorous cross-cultural adaptation back-translation procedures. data were collected from a large...
This article presents the development of a socially interactive industrial robot. An Avatar is used to embody cobot for collaborative assembly tasks. The embodied covatar (cobot plus its avatar) introduced support Flow experiences through co-regulation, emotion regulation guidance. A real-time continuous emotional modeling method and an aligned transparent behavioral model, BASSF (Boredom, Anxiety, Self-efficacy, Self-compassion, Flow) developed. model anticipates co-regulates...
Several studies highlighted the role of meaning in life as a major component well-being and researchers have developed different measures to assess features this construct. In present study, psychometric properties Meaning Life Questionnaire were investigated Italian context. The is 10-item scale measuring perceived presence search for life, conceptualized two separate factors. former refers purpose latter active commitment find life. Participants 464 adults aged 20 60 years ( M = 39.34; SD...
In this paper we present a novel methodology that can be used to design efficient hardware structures for certain class of combinatorial functions. The is primarily intended achieve low-power synthesis non-linear one-to-one functions on ASIC technology libraries and fits well the small cryptographic substitution box (Sbox) functional components; latter are found in most secret key algorithms, usually represent their relevant part terms required computational power. We also describe an...
Health professionals caring for persons with multiple sclerosis (MS) are faced increasingly complex working conditions that can undermine their job satisfaction and the quality of healthcare services. The aim this study was to delve into health professionals' by assessing predictive role happiness meaning at work. Specifically, it hypothesized would moderate relationship between satisfaction.The hypothesis tested among 108 (53 physicians 55 nurses) in eight MS centers Italy. Participants...
In this work, we introduce a family of methods for the analysis data observed at locations scattered in three-dimensional (3D) domains, with possibly complicated shapes. The proposed includes smoothing, regression, and functional principal component signals defined over (possibly nonconvex) 3D appropriately complying nontrivial shape domain. This constitutes an important advance respect to literature, because available analyze domains rely on Euclidean distances, which are inappropriate when...
Informal caregivers play a crucial role in supporting persons with multiple sclerosis (MS), neurodegenerative disease resulting progressive worsening of physical and cognitive functioning. While research extensively showed that caregiving workload can be perceived as burdensome, little attention was devoted to the relation connecting caregivers' well-being. Building on previous literature stress coping, aim this study test mediational coping between tasks A group 680 MS (M age = 46.45; 51.2%...
Accidents at work may force workers to face abrupt changes in their daily life: one of the most impactful accident cases consists worker remaining a wheelchair. Return To Work (RTW) wheelchair users working age is still challenging, encompassing expertise clinical and rehabilitation personnel social match workers' residual capabilities with job requirements. This describes novel prototypical knowledge-based Decision Support System (DSS) that matches requirements, thus helping vocational...
Abstract The assessment of pharyngeal residues during fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation swallowing (FEES) is based on visual-perceptual scales that involve clinical subjectivity. Training might be helpful to increase agreement among clinicians. This paper aims assess the efficacy training for residue in FEES frames and videos through Yale Pharyngeal Residue Severity Rating Scale (YPRSRS). Twenty-nine clinicians (Phoniatricians, Otorhinolaryngologists, Speech Language Pathologists) 47 students...
The Yale Pharyngeal Residue Severity Rating Scale (YPRSRS) provides an image-based assessment of pharyngeal residue in the fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation swallowing (FEES). Its performance was investigated only FEES frames. This study analyzed reliability and construct validity YPRSRS videos influence bolus consistency. Thirty pairs frames, 8 thin liquids (<50 mPa·s), 11 pureed (2583.3 mPa·s at 50 s−1, 697.87 300 s−1), solid food; were assessed by 29 clinicians using YPRSRS; 14 raters...
Research highlighted the negative consequences of COVID-19 pandemic on adolescents' emotional well-being worldwide. In attempt to identify resources which could facilitate adjustment, this study examined occurrence flow experience and related activities, association between among Italian teenagers. Spring 2021, 150 students (40.7% girls) aged 15–19 completed instruments assessing activities before during pandemic, current positive affect. Findings revealed that only 24.7% participants...
The proliferation of pervasive computing applications relying on battery--powered devices and wireless connectivity is posing great emphasis the issue power optimization. While node--level models approaches have been widely discussed, a problem requiring even greater attention that associated with communication protocols. We propose high--level modeling methodology based Finite State Machines useful to predict energy consumption given tasks very low computational cost, which can be applied...
This paper introduces the control architecture of a platform aimed at promoting good mental health for workers interacting with collaborative robots (cobots). The aim is to render industrial production cells capable automatically adapting their behavior in order improve operator's quality experience and level engagement minimize his/her psychological strain. In achieve such goal, an extremely rich complex framework required. Starting from identification parameters that could influence...
To facilitate mini-access for cardiac surgery, two different methods of active venous drainage are used: vacuum assisted and centrifugal pump aspiration on the line. The aim this study was to compare haemolysis produced using these techniques. From June December 1999, 50 consecutive patients were operated a ministernotomy. All had valvular surgery either valve repair or replacement (9 MVRepair, 11 MVR, 29 AVR, 1 AVR+MVR). They randomized into groups: Group A, 25 who underwent where used, B,...
The investigation of mental health among persons with haemophilia is mostly focused on negative and disease-related indicators. Literature however shows that psychosocial resources optimal daily functioning can co-exist chronic disease. Dual Continua Model operationalizes positive as 'flourishing', a condition comprising emotional, psychological, social well-being dimensions. In the present study physical were comparatively assessed through indicators in adults control group. Participants...
Low power has become a primary concern in the field of ad‐hoc and personal area networks. As manufacturers start endowing their designs with scatternet support, Bluetooth is emerging as key enabling technology. Although this driving research on optimization, most proposals are based over‐simplified, fully theoretical, or old inadequate models. We present real‐world model device supporting scatternets sniff‐mode, validate it experimentally real implementation. Whilst guaranteeing low...
