Abstract:
Il lavoro analizza il ruolo fondamentale delle prognosi nel sistema sanzionatorio penale. Dopo una breve presentazione delle questioni problematiche che emergono nella formulazione delle prognosi, vengono esaminate le singole disposizioni che richiedono al giudice una valutazione del rischio di recidiva e degli effetti special-preventivi della risposta al reato. Sul piano normativo, le tipologie di giudizio prognostico si differenziano a seconda delle informazioni di cui il giudice dispone per prevedere il comportamento futuro dell'autore di reato (o dell'imputato).

Abstract:
Abstract Hearing aid (HA) rehabilitation was studied in northern Finland. The costs of HA fitting were examined at two hospitals, Kainuu Central Hospital and Oulu University Hospital. The patients were visited and interviewed at their home and use of HAs was charted. The benefit of HAs was evaluated using generic and disease-specific questionnaires. The effect of follow-up counselling of HA users on HA use and on the benefit of HAs was studied. The proportion of all HA possessors that are regular users has clearly increased during the past twenty years, and the number of non-users, in particu

Abstract:
This thesis details the development of a dual robotic system for upper limb rehabilitation after stroke. The literature shows that stroke is major cause of upper limb impairment in the UK. Rehabilitation is used to affect long term recovery of upper limb function. However, health services have limited resources and struggle to provide sufficient contact time for effective rehabilitation. Robotic rehabilitation technologies offer an opportunity to augment existing rehabilitation practice and improve the treatment recieved by patients.

The long-term outcomes of subjects fitted with a bone anchored hearing aid (BAHA) for a unilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss (UPSHL) are still evolving.

Published results on subjects who have worn their BAHA devices for UPSHL for more than twelve months are limited. This study explored the long-term outcomes of adults fitted with a BAHA for UPSHL.

Humanitarian aid workers live and work in harsh circumstances far from loved ones and support mechanisms.

Abstract:
Impaired motor function following neurological injury may be overcome through therapies that induce neuroplastic changes in the brain. Therapeutic methods include repetitive exercises that promote use-dependent plasticity (UDP), the benefit of which may be increased by first administering peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) to activate afferent fibers, resulting in increased cortical excitability. We speculate that PNS delivered only in response to attempted movement would induce timing-dependent plasticity (TDP), a mechanism essential to normal motor learning.

Abstract:
Since its inception, international aid has been premised on the existence of stable and sovereign recipient states. Official aid relies upon such states for its legitimacy and implementation, and aims to consolidate statehood. In the 1990s, this organising pillar of the international aid system was shaken. The ability of governments to fulfil the basic functions of a sovereign power is now widely questioned. The principle of sovereignty is no longer absolute; rather, it is increasingly contingent upon states' adherence to international, largely Western-defined, norms of behaviour. Where these
