▼ La tendinopatía es una enfermedad común que afecta a una gran proporción de la población, formando un 30% de las lesiones musculoesqueletales, y es el trastorno más prevalente del tendón. Se suele relacionar la tendinopatía del codo a un sobreuso crónico y movimientos repetitivos del mismo. No obstante, debido a la respuesta diferenciada entre individuos frente la misma carga externa, ha habido un aumento en los últimos años en investigaciones sobre factores de riesgo intrínsecos. A día de hoy, varios estudios han descrito la contribución de factores genéticos en las tendinopatías del Aquiles y de la patela, pero los estudios sobre los tendones del miembro superior son escasos, con unos pocos investigando los factores genéticos en la tendinopatía del manguito rotor y solo un estudio sobre el llamado “codo de tenista”. El colágeno es el componente principal de la matriz extracelular (MEC) del tendón. Su función está relacionada con la formación de sustancias fibrilares y microfibrilares en la MEC, con un papel importante a la hora de determinar las propiedades específicas de cada tejido. Algunas mutaciones en los genes COL5A1, COL11A1 y COL11A2 han sido asociadas a trastornos que son resultado de una alteración o pérdida de función en el colágeno. Además de los factores de riesgo de carácter genético, también hay numerosos estudios sobre otros factores de riesgo intrínsecos que pueden influir en la tendinopatía. Por ejemplo, el riesgo de padecer afecciones del tendón aumenta con el envejecimiento debido a cambios en la estructura y biomecánica de los tendones conforme avanza la edad. Otro factor de riesgo de mucho estudio es la obesidad y el sobrepeso. En líneas generales, las personas con un nivel elevado de adiposidad presentan anormalidades en los tendones con mayor incidencia que las personas con un IMC normal. El mecanismo por el cual el sobrepeso aumenta el riesgo de padecer una lesión tendinosa parece tener múltiples facetas tanto mecánicas como metabólicas. Por todo lo anteriormente descrito con respecto a la relación entre factores intrínsecos, tanto genéticos como no genéticos, y la tendinopatía, los objetivos del presente estudio son los siguientes: 1. Analizar la influencia de los SNP COL5A1 rs12722, COL11A1 rs3753841, COL11A1 rs1676484 y COL11A2 rs1799907 en el riesgo de padecer tendinopatía del codo. 2. Analizar la influencia de otras variables demográficas y antropométricas, como son el seco, composición corporal, IMC, glucemia, y laxitud de las articulaciones en la tendinopatía del codo. 3. Analizar la influencia de ciertos factores de estilo de vida en el riesgo de padecer tendinopatía del codo. 4. Averiguar la importancia relativa de cada uno de estos factores con respecto al riesgo de padecer tendinopatía del codo. Se seleccionó una muestra de 137 sujetos (edad media 23 ± 5,5 años, 77 hombres y 60 mujeres) de la población general según su participación en deportes que implican una carga del miembro superior. Los criterios de inclusión fueron: edades comprendidas entre 18 y 50 años,… Advisors/Committee Members: Alakhdar Mohmara, Yasser (advisor).

▼ Previous studies suggest that Chinese older people report markedly fewer falls thanCaucasian older people, while prevalence and types of fall risk factors are similar betweenthe two populations. To gain a better understanding of fall risk in Chinese older people, asystematic review and four studies examining socio-demographic, physical, functional andpsychological fall risk factors were conducted in large cohorts of older Chinese people livingin Taiwan, Hong Kong and Australia and in older Caucasian people living in Australia.In study one, the Minimal Chair Height Standing (MCHS) - a novel functional test similar todeep squatting - was found to be underpinned by strength and balance and constitute anindependent falls risk factor.In study two, performance of the Timed Up & Go (TUG) test was shown to be determined bya range of sensorimotor, balance and psychological measures, and TUG test performance wascorrelated with concern about falls, functional disability but not falls.Study three developed the Chinese version of the Fall Efficacy Scale International (FESI(Ch)), which provides a valid and reliable measure of fall efficacy in Chinese older people.Study four showed depression was an important risk factor for falls in the Taiwanese cohort,and that this risk was independent of established sensorimotor and balance risk factors.The final study identifies the key explanatory factors that contribute to the observeddifference in fall rates between older Chinese and Caucasians people using a cross-cultural,migrant study design. Fall rates were at least 50% lower in all Chinese cohorts whencompared to the Australian Cohort. Negative binomial regression analyses revealed that lowfall rates in Chinese cohorts resulted from higher levels of concern about falls (increasedcaution) and reduced exposure to risk due to more structured activity patterns.In conclusion, this thesis adds to the understanding of what factors contribute to thesignificantly lower falls rate found in Chinese older people. As such it provides importantinsights for fall risk assessments and fall prevention strategies for both Chinese and non-Chinese older people.

▼ Benchmark analysis is a general risk estimation strategy for identifying the benchmark dose (BMD), past which the risk of exhibiting some adverse outcome exceeds a fixed value of benchmark response (BMR). The BMD has traditionally been applied in toxicological stimulus-response settings; the adverse outcomes have included cancer, other diseases such as asthma or influenza, birth defects, environmental toxicity, neurological damage, etc. For this context, risk is defined as the probability that a subject exhibits the adverse effect when exposed to a quantifiable dose level of the hazardous stimulus or agent. Such settings often involve binary or proportion responses—called quantal data—where the observations are taken as independent binomial variates at each exposure, input, or dose level. The estimation of BMD and its lower confident limit (BMDL) is well understood for the case of an adverse response to a single stimulus. However, in many situations one or more additional, secondary, qualitative factor(s) may collude to affect the risk, such that the risk changes with differential levels of the secondary factor. While the BMD is highly effective at integrating information over a single stimulus-response curve into the risk estimation problem, no dedicated methodology exists for modifying it to accommodate such secondary qualitative factors. Extending the translational capabilities of the BMD approach, this research is motivated by problems in childhood development and respiratory diseases, where early-age levels of some markers in blood, such as immunoglobulin E (IgE), may be useful in predicting future asthma diagnoses. A complicating factor here is that childhood obesity (a qualitative variable) often affects future asthma status, leading to differential asthma risk/response in children. In this framework, the goal of this research is to develop modern benchmark methods that can produce effective estimates of joint risk and from these, reliable inferences on BMD with mixed-factors and quantal-response data. Using as a dose-resonse function the logistic model, we derive the expressions for BMD and BMDL (𝜉(̂ 𝑢) and 𝜉𝐿(𝑢)). Four different approaches are used to derive the BMDL: i) a standard Wald lower confidence limit (WALD), ii) a Bivariate Normal lower confidence limit (BVN), iii) a Wald lower limit on the log-tranformation of the BMD (WALD-log), and iv) a Bivariate Normal lower confidence limit on the log-tranformation of the BMD (BVN-log). Using Monte Carlo simulations, we study the performance of the four confidence limits listed above by examining their conditional coverage properties. The theory developed in this thesis can be further extended to additional qualitative factors and/or to use other models as a risk function, such as the probit or quantal-linear model. Nevertheless, additional research is required to study whether our methods can translate effectively to other link functions for mixed-factor doseresponse modeling.

▼ The investment atmosphere has changed significantly due to the European integration that took place in the 21st century. Thus there has been a need to chart the prevailing risks more carefully. Special attention has been given to risk measures in particular. The focus has been especially on static risk measures, since significant problems have been detected in the application of dynamic risk measures. Attention is paid also on the coherency of risk measure, and the terms of a coherent risk measure are determined. We will adopt a mean-variance approach in this study because it is still common to use the portfolio variance (standard deviation) as a measure for risk, although the concept of market portfolio dating back to the times of Harry Markowitz has been perceived as too much of a sweeping single variable that would hold all risk information occurring in the prevailing market. So models, which use several different variables for measuring risk have been developed. These models attempt to “suck in” exhaustively all risk-information available in the market. Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT) functions as a starting point. APT is in principle the first multi-factor model introduced, but it presents the used variables in a very limited manner. Later on, the qualifiers in multi-factor models have been specified, and special attention has been given to defining and choosing the variables. Various theories, which try to model the real activities of the finance market, have been used to justify the choice of variables. Hence, multi-factor models concentrate above all on the choice of variables. These variables have mainly been chosen according to macroeconomic, fundamental and statistical grounds. Macroeconomic models concentrate on explaining the dependency between external forces of the economy and asset returns. Fundamental models on the other hand believe that asset returns are determined mainly based on company-specific factors, and statistical models estimate variables from the historical return development of a single asset. Two fundamental models are described more carefully, a 3-factor model by Fama and French (1993) and a 4-factor model by Carhart (1997). By comparing the explanatory powers of these three different models we can deduct which model can best explain the asset returns and consequently the risk it includes. Connor (1995) gives a thorough study on the explanatory power of these models. After this, by comparing each of them separately with Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) we can discover the optimal risk management instrument. This specific comparison is done by Fletcher and Hillier (2002). The basic idea is therefore to study whether the variables used in multi-factor models include some additional information that single variable models cannot explain. Finally we end up with the conclusion that in certain conditions and with certain restriction, very realistic ones though, the explanation power of a multi-factor models is greater than in single-factor model (CAPM). Thus they…

▼ Man-made risk factors for leishmaniasis are increasing while knowledge of risk factors, accurate diagnosis and treatment of leishmaniasis is poor. As a result, deadly epidemics of leishmaniasis occur periodically, but tools for prediction and prevention are lacking. Hence, research is needed to address these constraints. Leishmaniasis in Ethiopia is mainly due to L. donovani and L. aethiopica, which causes visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis respectively. Although the exact magnitude of the problem is not known, several surveys have indicated the importance of the diseases as a public health problem. A complete mapping of the diseases remains to be accomplished in view of the increasing number of patients reporting from regions hitherto unknown to be endemic. Therefore, the main aim of this work is to describe the epidemiology of the disease through identification of the causative agent using molecular epidemiological tools in Silti Woreda. The study was conducted in two Phases: in phase I, house-to-house survey was conducted and in phase II, parasitological identification was done. The treatment response of L. aethiopica to liquid nitrogen (cryotherapy) and pentostam was documented as follow up activity. The prevalence of the disease in the area was found to be 4.82% with highest prevalence among age group 10-20 years. Some plants like Adathoda shimperina and Acacia spp. and hyraxes and domestic animals were associated with increased risk of cutaneous leishmaniasis. The sole causative agent identified was L. aethiopica. The disease was found to be recently introduced in the area. In conclusion, the importance of the risk factors identified in this study should be investigated further and molecular epidemiological studies should be conducted in other areas to map the exact magnitude of the disease in the country. The clinical service in the outbreak site (Silti) needs to be prepared to provide the required care and treatment of patients who will keep coming from the area. Leishmaniasis control program has to be initiated in Ethiopia so as to prevent the disease from expanding. Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Abraham Aseffa (advisor).

▼ Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, with evidence from epidemiological data confirming the emergence of AF as a global epidemic. Although population ageing is regarded as an important contributor, several risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity, and obstructive sleep apnoea have been epidemiologically linked as promoters of AF. Cardiac risk factors are associated with structural and electrical remodeling of the atria that form the substrate leading to the development and progression of AF. Evidence from animal studies suggests that management of these risk factors such as obesity can reverse some of these changes. This was associated with reduced vulnerability of AF. However, impact of risk factor management on atrial fibrillation in human has not been evaluated. Furthermore, mechanism and degree of reversibility of substrate in humans, where multiple factors can play a role, with weight and other risk factor management has not been described. This thesis evaluates the reversal of atrial substrate with weight and other risk factor management and its impact on AF freedom and AF ablation outcome. Chapter 2 assesses the long-term impact of weight-loss and weight-fluctuation on rhythm control in obese individuals with AF. In over-weight and obese individuals with symptomatic AF, progressive weight-loss had a dose-dependent effect on long-term freedom from AF. Additionally, weight-fluctuation of >5% had an adverse effect on overall freedom from AF with a two-fold greater likelihood of recurrent arrhythmia. Chapter 3 evaluated the impact of cardiorespiratory fitness on long-term freedom from atrial fibrillation (AF). It also looked at the impact of cardiorespiratory fitness gain on AF outcome. This study demonstrates that in overweight and obese individuals with symptomatic AF, preserved baseline cardiorespiratory fitness predicts long-term freedom from AF. Cardiorespiratory fitness gain with a structured exercise program had an additive effect to weight-loss in improving the long-term outcome of AF. Chapter 4 evaluated the impact of aggressive risk factor management on the outcomes of the catheter ablation. In patients with symptomatic AF undergoing ablation, a structured physician-directed risk factor and weight management program resulted in significant improvement in the long-term outcomes. Chapter 5 evaluated the impact of risk factor management on the electrophysiological and electroanatomical properties of the atria, cardiac structure and endothelial and platelets function. Aggressive risk factor management was associated with marked structural improvement with a reduction in atrial size, regression of ventricular mass and normalization of bipolar voltages. There was a resultant significant improvement in the electrophysiological properties with marked improvement in conduction properties and tissue refractoriness. Mechanistically, there was a reduction in pericardial fat volumes and serum fibrosis markers. Furthermore, there was improvement in endothelial… Advisors/Committee Members: Sanders, Prashanthan (advisor), Adelaide Medical School (school).

Purpose: Gastric cancer surgery is popular operation in East Asia like Korea and Japan. Recently, population of elderly has been significantly increased. As results, surgery for gastric cancer surgery for elderly will be also increased. We evaluated the effect of old age on gastric cancer surgery, and analyzed the operative risk factors for elderly patients. Method & methods: From November 2008 to August 2010, 590 patients who were underwent curative resection for gastric cancers were enrolled. Patients who underwent palliative surgery or emergency operations were excluded, and we analyzed the correlation between surgical outcomes and age retrospectively. We defined that elderly was patients with over 65 year old. Results: Mean age of all patients was 58.3 year old, and complications were occurred in 87 cases (14.7%). Most common complication was wound infection and severe complication which required surgical, endoscopic or radiologic intervention were developed in 52 cases (8.8%). As patients’ age increase, complication rate also have been increased. In univariate analysis, age, comorbidity, extend of resection, operation time and combined resection were correlated with surgical complication. Especially, age with over 75 year old, operation time and comorbidity were predictive factors in multivariate analysis. In the elderly, comorbidity and extend of resection was related with surgical complication. Conclusions: Patients’ age was most important factor for predicting surgical complications. Surgeon should pay an attention to perform gastric cancer surgery for elderly. In particularly, total gastrectomy has to be performed carefully for elderly who have comorbidity.

▼ The aim of my work was to identify additional genetic and non-genetic factors influencing female reproductive ageing in humans. Although approximately 50% of population variation in age at menopause is due to genetics, less than 3% of variation had been accounted for by common genetic variants. Of non-genetic risk factors, only smoking had consistently been found to have a strong effect on age of menopause. In the wider context of female reproduction, our understanding of the role of genetics in determining sex hormone levels was limited. By combining the results of research in these different areas, I hoped to improve our knowledge of the biology of female reproductive ageing. Chapter 1 is an introduction in which I discuss the biology of menopause, describe relationships with health and present current knowledge regarding non-genetic and genetic risk factors influencing menopause age. Chapter 2 is an analysis of the associations between non-genetic risk factors occurring in early life with early menopause. We identified an association between multiple births and early menopause, connecting events pre-birth, when the oocyte pool is formed, with reproductive ageing in later life. Chapter 3 is a genome-wide association study to identify genetic variants associated with levels of nine sex hormone related phenotypes. We highlighted loci of relevance to reproductive function, which suggested overlaps in the genetic basis of hormone regulation. Chapter 4 is a genome-wide association study of menstrual cycle length. We showed that a common genetic variant related to follicle stimulating hormone levels and age at menopause is associated with several reproductive traits including length of menstrual cycle. Chapter 5 is an investigation of the relationship between differences in length of normal FMR1 triplet repeat alleles and timing of menopause. We found no association between the length of normal FMR1 alleles and timing of menopause, contradicting the results of smaller studies and replicating a null result in another large study. Chapter 6 is large genome-wide meta-analysis to identify common and low-frequency genetic variants associated with age at menopause. We identified 44 regions containing 54 independent common signals and two rare missense alleles of large effect. Finally, in Chapter 7 I evaluate how this work has benefitted our knowledge of female reproductive ageing and describe directions for future research.

▼ Stranger-directed aggression is both a public safety and animal welfare concern. The objectives of this thesis were to identify risk factors for stranger-directed aggression in dogs, to assess the effect of targeted owner training on the accuracy of ratings of fear in dogs, and to identify behaviours associated with fear in puppies. Risk factors for stranger-directed aggression were first analyzed using an existing dataset of responses to the Canine Behaviour Assessment and Research Questionnaire (C-BARQ). Fear of strangers, non-social fear, sex and neuter status, age at evaluation, age acquired, where acquired, and breed group were significantly associated with stranger-directed aggression. There was also correlation in this behaviour among dogs from the same participant and country (n=14,310 dogs; 10,951 participants; 67 countries). To further explore the similarities from dogs with the same owner, a survey including the C-BARQ, as well as additional questions relating to dog characteristics, temperament, training, environment and owner demographics and personality was distributed. Dogs’ stranger-directed aggression scores were significantly associated with fear of strangers, impulsivity, sex, reason for neutering, training methods, history of abuse, quantity and quality of socialization as a puppy, where kept when left alone, how exercised, breed group, owner extroversion, and whether owners could accurately identify the absence of aggression from videos (n=2,760 dogs; 2,255 households). As fear was found to be associated with stranger-directed aggression, it is important that owners are able to accurately recognize it in dogs. Using a targeted training tool, based on fear behaviours owners were able to reliably identify, recognition of mild to severe fear in videos of dogs improved, but owner ratings of their own dogs’ fearfulness were not consistently altered. Finally, to identify fear behaviours shown by puppies, an approach/avoidance test was developed and used to categorize puppies’ responses to fear-provoking stimuli. Lowered posture, lowered tail, freezing, flinching, retreating, barking, and paw lifting were found to increase with non-social fear in puppies. These results can help with identification of dogs at risk of developing stranger-directed aggression, and can direct owners to appropriate training and prevention strategies.

▼ Introduction: Approximately half of all ischemic strokes can be attributed to unhealthy lifestyle factors. Many strokes might therefore be avoided by reducing modifiable risk factors, such as hypertension, smoking and hypercholesterolemia. Evidence from large cohort studies indicates that a lower socio-economic status and a history of migration increase the risk of stroke. Risk factor knowledge is prerequisite for the behavioural changes or uptake of treatments required to reduce those risks. This study aims to examine the impact of various social and demographic factors, in particular the migration background and socio-economic factors, on risk factor knowledge in a subgroup of a cohort of stroke patients in Berlin. The study results might provide approaches relevant for secondary prevention in this, or similar, populations. Methodology: The study was conducted as part of the Neukölln Stroke Study (NESS), a population-based stroke register, which aims to record all cases of stroke in a geographically defined area of Berlin, Germany. The study area was defined precisely with assistance of the registration office Neukölln, in terms of postal codes. Stroke was defined by the WHO criteria. Patients with first-ever stroke, with clinical symptoms lasting longer than 24 hours or leading to death before this time were included in the study. The data collection consisted of the ADSR-module, the survey dataset and the questionnaire on stroke knowledge. A subgroup of stroke patients was interviewed face to face or by telephone using a standardized questionnaire to assess stroke risk factor knowledge. Results: In the period from February 2010 to January 2012, 377 patients with stroke were included in the NESS. From this total, 216 eligible patients were interviewed about risk factor knowledge. Overall, knowledge of risk factors in these stroke patients was low. A lack of risk factor knowledge occurred significantly more often in the over 74-year-olds (p<0,001), people with migration background (p=0,024), people who received care at home or in an institution (p=0,007) and those who had less than 13 years of education (school and work) (p=0,001), those with a low graduation degree (p=0,031) and work degree (p=0,037) as well as unemployed persons (p=0,041). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the elder population (>74 years) and people with migration background had significantly more often a lack of risk factor knowledge. Conclusion: Knowledge of risk factors amongst these stroke patients was low, especially amongst people with migration background, those with lower educational status and in older people. Stroke patients should be included in education programs during the acute hospital admission. Physicians and hospital doctors should inform all stroke patients (including the high risk groups identified) about possibilities of risk reduction. Access to stroke information might be made easier for people with migration background by reducing language and cultural barriers. Migrants and other high risk groups should be… Advisors/Committee Members: [email protected] (contact), w (gender), N.N. (firstReferee), N.N. (furtherReferee).

▼ Background and aims: Worldwide, the burden of haemorrhagic stroke increased significantly between 1990 and 2010, in terms of the absolute number of people with incident events, number of deaths, and disability-adjusted life years lost. This thesis aims to elucidate risk factors for occurrence and poor prognosis of intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) in the hope that this will allow interventions to be developed that will reduce ICH occurrence and improve acute management of ICH. Methods: Secondary analyses of the datasets from international randomised trials - the pilot and main phases of the Intensive Blood Pressure Reduction in Acute Cerebral Haemorrhage Trials (INTERACT1 and INTERACT2) were conducted to determine the role of environmental and metabolic factors on the risk and outcome of ICH. Results: A dose-dependent relationship was observed between cold temperature and ICH risk within three hours after exposure. However, ambient temperature did not appear to have any appreciable effect on ICH severity according to baseline haematoma volume, and NIHSS and GCS scores. Interestingly though, there was an association of increased ambient temperature and perihaematomal oedema volume. My study on circadian variation in ICH characteristics and severity showed that patients whose ICH onset occurred in the early morning (00:00-07:59) and evening (16:00-15:59) had a higher risk of decreased consciousness (GCS≤8). Patients with moderate–severe decrease in eGFR had poor outcome at 90 days: their risk of death or major disability was near double those with normal renal function (odds ratio 1.82; 95% confidence interval, 1.28–2.61). Furthermore, hyponatraemia was an independent prognostic factor for 90-day mortality which may be attributed to large haematomas and/or IVH extension in the deep cerebral hemisphere. Conclusions: The data outlined in this thesis establish an association between acute exposure to cold ambient temperature and ICH occurrence, and reduced renal function and hyponatraemia are prognostic variables in ICH. Interventions and management v strategies to address these risk factors could be potentially beneficial in preventing ICH occurrence and optimising patient outcomes after ICH.

▼ This study explores the role of livestock insurance to complement existing risk management strategies adopted by smallholder farmers. Using survey data, first, it provides insights into farmers’ risk perception of livestock farming, in terms of likelihood and severity of risk, attitude to risk and their determinants. Second, it examines farmers’ risk management strategies and their determinants. Third, it investigates farmers’ potential engagement with a hypothetical cattle insurance decision and their intensity of participation. Factor analysis is used to analyse risk sources and risk management, multiple regressions are used to identify the determinants; a Heckman model was used to investigate cattle insurance participation and intensity of participation. The findings show different groups of farmers display different risk attitude in their decision-making related to livestock farming. Production risk (especially livestock diseases) was perceived as the most likely and severe source of risk. Disease control was perceived as the best strategy to manage risk overall. Disease control and feed management were important strategies to mitigate the production risks. Disease control and participation on safety net program were found to be important to counter households’ financial risks. With regard to the hypothetical cattle insurance scheme, 94.38% of households were interested to participate in cattle insurance. Of those households that accepted cattle insurance, 77.38% of the households were willing to pay the benchmark annual premium of 4% of the animal value while for the remaining households this was not affordable. The average number of cattle that farmers were willing to insure was 2.71 at this benchmark. Results revealed that income (log income) and education levels influenced positively and significantly farmers’ participation in cattle insurance and the number of cattle to insure. The findings prompt policy makers to consider livestock insurance as a complement to existing risk management strategies to reduce poverty in the long-run.

▼ "Fattori predittivi della durata nei procedimenti civili" Introduzione In Italia la durata dei procedimenti civili è considerata già da lunghissimo tempo eccessivamente elevata, nonostante nel corso degli anni si siano susseguiti numerosi interventi legislativi, seppure non sempre organici, coerenti ed efficaci, diretti a ridurne l’entità. Nonostante vi sia una tendenza generale a una significativa riduzione dei tempi, frutto del combinato effetto della diminuzione delle iscrizioni e dell’incremento del numero dei processi conclusi, la durata resta comunque elevata rispetto a quanto prevede la Convenzione europea per la salvaguardia dei diritti dell'uomo e delle libertà fondamentali, che riconosce ad ogni persona il diritto a vedere la sua causa esaminata e decisa entro un lasso di tempo ragionevole. Nonostante l’estrema e annosa gravità in cui versa il sistema Giustizia, rari sono gli studi volti allo scopo di individuare i fattori determinanti della durata del processo. Scopo di questo studio è quello di determinare i fattori predittivi della eccessiva durata di un processo civile in secondo grado. Si utilizzeranno a tal fine le procedure statistiche e le modalità di analisi impiegate, in modo efficace e da più lungo tempo, nella ricerca sanitaria in un tentativo di fertilizzazione, auspicabilmente reciproca, di settori di indagine ritenuti comunemente distanti tra loro. I dati analizzati nello studio Oggetto dello studio sono i procedimenti civili iscritti dall’1/01/2005 al 31/12/2013 presso la Corte d’Appello di Milano, in totale 72.482 cause osservate alla data del 31/12/2014. Al 31/12/2014 era stato definito l’86,6% del totale dei procedimenti esaminati; il 49,6% riguarda procedimenti conclusi in più di 2 anni o ‘pendenti al 31/12/2014’ da più di 2 anni. Le variabili prese in considerazione nello studio sono: • l’anno di iscrizione del processo, dal 2005 al 2013; • il grado del procedimento, primo o secondo; • il ruolo, corrispondente ai registri ufficiali utilizzati negli uffici giudiziari, che distingue le cause in procedimenti speciali sommari, contenzioso ordinario, lavoro e previdenza, agraria e volontaria giurisdizione; il ruolo è collegato alla materia e all’oggetto specifico della causa che classifica nel dettaglio il contenuto dell’azione giudiziale; • la data della prima udienza e il numero di udienze fissate, comprensive delle effettive udienze tenute, dei rinvii e delle anticipazioni; • il numero di parti e di legali del processo; • l’evento e la modalità di definizione; • l’età del giudice al momento della definizione del processo. La raccolta di tali dati ha richiesto una attività complessa; è stato necessario costruire ed eseguire diverse query di estrazioni sulle tabelle del sistema informativo utilizzato per la registrazione dei processi, al fine di individuare i diversi fattori di interesse e ricostruire la storia processuale di ciascuna causa, dalla sua iscrizione alla sua conclusione. Fattori determinanti della durata: l’analisi della sopravvivenza È stato… Advisors/Committee Members: tutor: M. Ferraroni, coordinatore: A. Decarli, FERRARONI, MONICA, DECARLI, ADRIANO.

▼ Background: There are innumerable diabetes studies that have investigated associations between risk factors, protective factors, and health outcomes; however, these individual predictors are part of a complex network of interacting forces. Moreover, there is little awareness about resilience or its importance in chronic disease in adulthood, especially diabetes. Thus, this is the first study to: (1) extensively investigate the relationships among a host of predictors and multiple adaptive outcomes; and (2) conceptualise a resilience model among people with diabetes. Methods: This cross-sectional study was divided into two research studies. Study One was to translate two diabetes-specific instruments (Problem Areas In Diabetes, PAID; Diabetes Coping Measure, DCM) into a Chinese version and to examine their psychometric properties for use in Study Two in a convenience sample of 205 outpatients with type 2 diabetes. In Study Two, an integrated theoretical model is developed and evaluated using the structural equation modelling (SEM) technique. A self-administered questionnaire was completed by 345 people with type 2 diabetes from the endocrine outpatient departments of three hospitals in Taiwan. Results: Confirmatory factor analyses confirmed a one-factor structure of the PAID-C which was similar to the original version of the PAID. Strong content validity of the PAID-C was demonstrated. The PAID-C was associated with HbA1c and diabetes self-care behaviours, confirming satisfactory criterion validity. There was a moderate relationship between the PAID-C and the Perceived Stress Scale, supporting satisfactory convergent validity. The PAID-C also demonstrated satisfactory stability and high internal consistency. A four-factor structure and strong content validity of the DCM-C was confirmed. Criterion validity demonstrated that the DCM-C was significantly associated with HbA1c and diabetes self-care behaviours. There was a statistical correlation between the DCM-C and the Revised Ways of Coping Checklist, suggesting satisfactory convergent validity. Test-retest reliability demonstrated satisfactory stability of the DCM-C. The total scale of the DCM-C showed adequate internal consistency. Age, duration of diabetes, diabetes symptoms, diabetes distress, physical activity, coping strategies, and social support were the most consistent factors associated with adaptive outcomes in adults with diabetes. Resilience was positively associated with coping strategies, social support, health-related quality of life, and diabetes self-care behaviours. Results of the structural equation modelling revealed protective factors had a significant direct effect on adaptive outcomes; however, the construct of risk factors was not significantly related to adaptive outcomes. Moreover, resilience can moderate the relationships among protective factors and adaptive outcomes, but there were no interaction effects of risk factors and resilience on adaptive outcomes. Conclusion: This study contributes to an understanding of how risk factors and…
