Retaining Healing Hands: A Transnational Study on Job Retention Interventions for the Healthcare Workforce
Healthcare organizations worldwide face challenges in retaining their healthcare workforce, with individual and organizational factors influencing their intentions to leave. This study conducted eight online co-creation workshops and four Delphi sessions to gain qualitative and in-depth insights into job retention interventions, involving healthcare workers, hospital managers, and policymakers. A thematic analysis was conducted, resulting in mult…
Inequality in Healthcare Utilization in Italy: How Important Are Barriers to Access
In Italy, healthcare access is generally guaranteed for all of the services, except for specialist and dental visits that face a waiting time and financial barriers. However, barriers to healthcare were differentiated by income and sex. The north-south gradient for healthcare utilization could be explained through the existing differences in organizational characteristics of the several regional healthcare services throughout Italy
The long-term effect of job mobility on workers’ mental health: A propensity score analysis
Our study found that workers with external job mobility have a doubled risk of treatment with neuropsychological medication, compared to workers without job mobility
Diagnostic Concordance between Optical Coherence Tomography and Histological Investigations for Immune-Mediated Desquamative Gingivitis: Observational Study
Desquamative gingivitis (DG) denotes a heterogeneous immune-mediated disease for which early diagnosis represents a great challenge. The main aim of this study is to validate diagnostic concordance between specific Optical Coherence Tomography (OTC) patterns for DG related to oral Lichen Planus (OLP), Pemphigus Vulgaris (PV), and Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid (MMP) and definitive histological diagnosis. Forty-three patients with suspected immune-med…
The Impact of a Change in Employment on Three Work-Related Diseases: A Retrospective Longitudinal Study of 10,530 Belgian Employees
Change in employment and psychosocial load were found as two important risk factors for being on medication for cardiovascular (CVD). Dealing with loads, doing shift work and being daily exposed to the noise of 87 dB correlated with being on medication for musculoskeletal (MSD). Dealing with physical loads, doing night work and being exposed to the noise of 80 dB were risk factors for being on medication for neuropsychological (NPD). While doing …

(1) Aim: To assess the attitude toward Lifestyle Medicine and healthy behaviours among students in the healthcare area and to demonstrate its association to psychological well-being; (2) Methods: A cross-sectional study is conducted among 508 undergraduates of the University of Palermo (140 (27.6%) in the healthcare area and 368 (72.4%) in the non-healthcare area), during the academic year 2018-2019. Psychological well-being is measured through t…
Self-Perceived Health, Objective Health, and Quality of Life among People Aged 50 and Over: Interrelationship among Health Indicators in Italy, Spain, and Greece
It is well known that self-perceived health (SPH), even if it is a subjective health indicator, is significantly associated with objective health and quality of life (QoL) in the general population. Whether it can be considered an indicator of cognitive functioning and quality of life in the elderly is still an open issue. This study used a data-driven approach to investigate the interrelationship among SPH, non-communicable diseases (NCDs), QoL,…
Terracotta Figurines and the Acrolithic Statues of Demeter and Kore from Morgantina
Archaic figurines of women holding a dove recovered from in and around the Thesmophorion of S. Francesco Bisconti at Morgantina (Sicily) can be associated with a fragmentary terracotta throne now in Vienna. It is possible that this throne was made for one or both of the famous acrolithic sculptures that represented the goddesses Demeter and Kore, from the same sanctuary. The strong East Greek influence on Sicilian archaic sculpture is noted, as w…
Archaeological Volcanic Glass From the Site of Rocchicella (Sicily, Italy)
The site of Rocchicella, near Catania, in eastern Sicily, has yielded important archaeological evidence from prehistoric times to the Middle Ages. Extensive archaeological investigations of cultural layers dating from the Palaeo‐Mesolithic to the Copper Age have recently been undertaken, and volcanic glass, mainly obsidian, has been collected in the course of excavation. To determine the provenance of this volcanic glass, a non‐destructive elemen…
The Sanctuary of the Divine Palikoi (Rocchicella di Mineo, Sicily): Fieldwork from 1995 to 2001
This report details the results of past research and current excavations at the Sanctuary of the Divine Palikoi in eastern Sicily, where fieldwork conducted between 1995 and 2001 has yielded remains of two stoas and a hestiaterion of the fifth century B.C., structures of the Archaic period, and evidence of occupation in the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods and the Sicilian Bronze Age. Literary sources tell us that in the mid fifth century B.C. t…

Ocher Containers and Trade in the Central Mediterranean Copper Age
Recent excavations at Serra del Palco, near Milena, in south-central Sicily north of Agrigento, have led to the discovery of a group of small jars belonging to the first phase of the Copper Age (San Cono-Piano Notaro-Grotta Zubbia Phase). The jars held ocher and were buried in small pits. They testify to ritual practices and identify this class of jars specifically as ocher containers. In addition they provide important evidence of prehistoric co…
