Long-term follow-up of web-based and group-based behavioural intervention in NAFLD in a real world clinical setting.

Background: The long-term results of web-based behavioural intervention in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) have not been described in patients followed in specialised centres.

Aims: To analyse the long-term effectiveness of web education compared with the results achieved by a group-based behavioural intervention in the same years 2012-2014.

Methods: We followed 679 patients with NAFLD (web-based, n = 290; group-based, n = 389) for 5 years.

Normative data for COGITAB: An Italian tablet-based test battery conceived for the preclinical phase of Alzheimer's disease.

The number of people with dementia is increasing worldwide. Two main approaches have been adopted to identify subjects with Alzheimer's disease (AD): the neuropsychological evaluation and the identification of biomarkers of AD. The first method is less invasive and easier to perform.

Are Social Networks Watermarking Us or Are We (Unawarely) Watermarking Ourself?

In the last decade, Social Networks (SNs) have deeply changed many aspects of society, and one of the most widespread behaviours is the sharing of pictures. However, malicious users often exploit shared pictures to create fake profiles, leading to the growth of cybercrime. Thus, keeping in mind this scenario, authorship attribution and verification through image watermarking techniques are becoming more and more important.

No Matter What Images You Share, You Can Probably Be Fingerprinted Anyway.

The popularity of social networks (SNs), amplified by the ever-increasing use of smartphones, has intensified online cybercrimes. This trend has accelerated digital forensics through SNs. One of the areas that has received lots of attention is camera fingerprinting, through which each smartphone is uniquely characterized.

Nature-based solutions for hydro-meteorological hazards: Revised concepts, classification schemes and databases.

Hydro-meteorological hazards (HMHs) have had a strong impact on human societies and ecosystems. Their impact is projected to be exacerbated by future climate scenarios. HMHs cataloguing is an effective tool to evaluate their associated risks and plan appropriate remediation strategies.
