Even more than for other treatments, great importance must be given to informed consent in the case of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). In a percentage of cases, the symbolic connotation of the treatment, even if mostly and intrinsically negative, may actually be a determining factor in the patient's motives for giving consent.
Assisted suicide is the subject of much debate throughout the world. In Italy, on 24 September 2019, the Italian Constitutional Court legitimised assisted suicide under certain conditions: self-determination capacity, irreversible illness and intense physical/psychological suffering of the patient. This historic judgement surely paved the way for an evolution of the Italian legal framework on the matter but also raised some challenging medico-legal and bioethical questions.
The paper deals with the problem of estimating and exploiting traffic capacity of different road elements (link, nodes, network) and presents the results obtained by performing a systematic investigation of the role that the parameters of a microscopic simulation model play on the macroscopic representation of different road elements. An analysis of traffic parameters has been performed using a microsimulation software package to identify the most important parameters affecting the arterial capacity and to calibrate driver's behavior models through macroscopic traffic observations.
Accumulation of oxidative insults on molecular and supramolecular levels could compromise renewal potency and architecture in the aging skin.
Starting from morphology and equipment, a synthetic method able to provide indicators representing the ports’ performances was setup. The knowledge background, built on cartography, statistical data, port master plans and sectorial researches, required important efforts in terms of integration and homogenisation. The method’s development is based on a survey of the Mediterranean basin,
Nowadays, a considerable percentage of trains mature delays due to nodes and stations congestion.
They are normally a combination of effects of routes conflicts in stations on lines and propagation in
stations of delays suffered along the lines. It is a consequence of the variable values of capacity within
the railway system caused by a combination of parameters, more relevant when short line sections
separate nearby stations. Goal of the research is to compare some literature methods for the assessment
