I am Robot, Your Health Adviser for Older Adults
Artificial intelligence and robotic solutions are seeing rapid development for use across multiple occupations and sectors, including health and social care. As robots grow more prominent in our work and home environments, whether people would favour them in receiving useful advice becomes a pressing question. In the context of human–robot interaction (HRI), little is known about people’s advice-taking behaviour and trust in the advice of robots.…
Maternal nutritional status and offspring childlessness
The role of maternal nutrition in affecting offspring fertility, through alteration of foetal programming, has been demonstrated in animal-based experiments. However, results from human populations appear inconsistent and sometimes contradictory, likely because they have been based on single famine events. In this paper, we adopt a different approach. We combine official annual time series of daily nutrient availability with a sample of women's r…
Sars-CoV-2 Infections and Covid-19 Fatality
COVID-19 is one of the most important problems for public health, according to the number of deaths associated to this pathology reported so far. However, from the epidemiological point of view, the dimension of the problem is still unknown, since the number of actual cases of SARS-CoV-2 infected people is underestimated, due to limited testing. This paper aims at estimating the actual Infection Fatality Ratio (number of deaths with respect to th…
Reproductive Change in Transitional Italy
Le rôle des variables intermédiaires de fécondité reste une question largement inexplorée au niveau micro en Italie. Cet article étudie les effets de l’éducation féminine et des critères socioéconomiques sur le déclin de la fécondité dans dix populations italiennes, par le biais d’une analyse des cohortes de mariages de la fin du xix e siècle à 1951. Les données sont tirées de l’Enquête sur la Fécondité qui a été menée au sein du recensement ital…
Fertility transition and social stratification in the town of Alghero, Sardinia (1866-1935)
Despite the large amount of research on European fertility transition, the mechanisms of this demographic process are still poorly understood. This is particularly true in the Italian demographic experience, especially for some regions
Widowhood and Remarriage in Sardinia, Alghero, 1866-1925
This paper focuses on remarriage in Sardinia from the years following national unification (1861) until the first decades of the twentieth century. The marriage pattern on the island was different from the one that predominated in Italy. As early as the High Middle Ages, marriage was celebrated within the context of a distinctive property and inheritance regime, and Sardinian women played an important role in the management of the family and its …
Upgrade of the CO 2 Direct Absorption Method for Low-Level 14 C Liquid Scintillation Counting
A new system for CO 2 absorption and liquid scintillation counting (LSC) was designed and developed along with its inherent measurement protocol for radiocarbon analysis in gaseous emissions, fuels, and biobased products. CO 2 is chemically trapped as a carbamate in a suitable absorbing solution (3-methoxy-propyl-amine), gravimetrically measured, and analyzed by LSC (using a Quantulus TM 1220) to determine the 14 C content. The use of cryogenic t…
Veuvage et remariage en Sardaigne, Alghero, 1866-1925
Cet article analyse le remariage en Sardaigne, de l'unification italienne (1861) jusqu'aux premières décennies du xx e siècle. L'île se distinguait alors par un modèle de nuptialité différent du schéma dominant en Italie continentale. Dès le haut Moyen Âge, le mariage sarde présente des modalités originales de propriété et d'héritage, en particulier par le rôle majeur reconnu aux femmes dans la gestion de la famille, de ses ressources économiques…
The Sardinian experience of the lowest Italian infant mortality at the turn of the twentieth century. True or false empirical evidence
Selon les sources statistiques officielles italiennes, la Sardaigne, dans les décennies qui ont suivi l’unification nationale (1861), présentait le plus faible taux de mortalité néonatale et infantile du pays et un taux de mortinatalité nettement inférieur à la moyenne nationale. L’objectif principal de cet article est de voir à nouveaux frais l’évolution de la mortalité infantile dans l’île, en tenant compte des progrès de l’enregistrement des d…
