Progetto sugli Stili di vita (Roberto Della Vedova)csermeg
This document summarizes the results of a study called EFAR-Italy that compared the effectiveness of an online facilitated access to an alcohol reduction website versus face-to-face brief intervention conducted by general practitioners (GPs) for risky drinkers. The study found that facilitated access to the website was not inferior and may have been more effective than face-to-face intervention in reducing risky drinking levels at 3-month follow up. The results provide evidence that internet and new technologies can be helpful for health promotion and that facilitated access is a promising methodology for GP intervention.
Sensor technologies in the milking parlour, can they replace or complement hu...Claudia Kamphuis
Sensors in milking parlours can monitor cow health and productivity by replacing or complementing human senses. The document discusses various sensor technologies that have been introduced for monitoring udder health, milk composition, fertility, cow composition, and metabolic disorders. While sensors have benefits like improving health, welfare, and productivity, their adoption has been limited. Sensors may not always accurately monitor parameters of interest and there are tradeoffs between sensitivity and specificity. Additionally, sensor information is often not fully utilized on farms due to limitations in performance, lack of understanding, and insufficient learning support. In conclusion, sensors have potential but must be combined with management decisions to effectively monitor cow health and productivity.

Gabriel laporta: Biodiversity can help prevent malaria outbreaks in tropical ...Flávio Codeço Coelho
1. The study examined how biodiversity may prevent malaria outbreaks in tropical forests through two mechanisms: the dilution effect of wild animals acting as dead-end hosts for Plasmodium parasites, and diffuse competition among mosquito vectors and non-vectors for blood meals.
2. Models based on the Ross-Macdonald framework and incorporating biodiversity factors were developed and parameterized using field and literature data from a Brazilian forest where the main malaria vector is present but no cases have been reported since 1980.
3. The standard Ross-Macdonald model predicted malaria outbreaks should occur (R0 > 1), but the biodiversity-incorporated model matched the observed absence of transmission (R0 < 1),
This document summarizes big data in the life sciences sector and its strategic importance for stakeholders such as pharmaceutical and medical device companies. It discusses how capturing, storing, managing data flows and analyzing large amounts of information affects all aspects of organizations, particularly the discovery and research & development stages.
