Summary and Conclusion

This monograph outlines the process and results of development of a common educational programme at masters level in health and social care management, which was supported by the Erasmus Life Long Education project CareMan (Cul- ture and Care Management). The CareMan project brought together university partners actively involved in educating social and health care professionals in leadership and management at master’s level in Europe. The five partners of the consortium were Lahti University of Applied Sciences – Lahti UAS (administra- tive and academic coordinator, Finland), Charles University – CU (the Czech Republic), Edinburgh Napier University – ENU (Scotland), Hammeline University of Applied Sciences – HAMK (Finland), and University of Évora – UoE (Portugal). The objectives of the project were to achieve lower -level educational goals that included the development through education cultural and value -driven leadership, quality of care and quality management to effectively manage an integrated health and social care service. Through mapping the situation in the field and comparing curricula of all participating universities the overall aim was to develop a joint masters programme in social and healthcare management. After the detailed understanding of national and institutional specifics of each of the individual academic entities it was recognised that, due to a number of regulation issues, the original aim was not achievable. Following subsequent analytical work, it was decided to develop a set of three master’s level modules. At the end of the project it was intended that all created modules would be available virtually to the participating programmes and would contribute some added value to existing curricula. In the future these ready -to -use modules are intended to be taught in cooperation with the participating universities or as a separate module in each university. The chosen theoretical framework of the project that underpinned the devel- opment, management and evaluation of the inter -cultural educational provision relied on the combination of two learning theories – ‘cooperative collaborative and social learning’ and ’transformational’ (Mezirow, 2009). This theoretical framework helped to align with European collaborative policy and its application on all levels of implementation of the project.

Studio delle interazioni nel rivelatore e selezione degli eventi nelle misure di sezione d'urto nell'esperimento FOOT

L’adroterapia è una tecnica di cura tumorale basata sull’irraggiamento della zona cancerosa tramite ioni pesanti e particelle cariche. Queste permettono di massimizzare il danno nella zona tumorale e limitare invece quello subito dalle cellule sane. Il più grande ostacolo risiede nella limitata reperibilità di informazioni in letteratura sulla frammentazione del target. I frammenti così prodotti infatti hanno una mobilità di µm e per questo motivo sono molto difficili da rivelare. In questo contesto nel 2017 l’esperimento FOOT, approvato dall’INFN nasce con l’obiettivo di misurare la sezione d’urto differenziale di tutti i prodotti emessi dalla frammentazione nucleare fra il fascio ed il paziente. Operando in condizione di cinematica inversa l’esperimento riesce a rivelare questi frammenti ed a misurarne l’abbondanza e l’energia. E’ stata effettuata a questo proposito, un’analisi dati volta ad eliminare le frammentazioni in aria precedenti ed interne al rivelatore MSD per poter ottenere misure più accurate delle sezioni d’urto di frammentazione.
