Soft skills are important for any career and are necessary to access and face the labor market. This research focuses on soft skills by exploring engineer profiles. It also determines how soft skills are developed through the study of a representative sample of 314 undergraduate engineering students from 15 different Italian universities. The instrument used is a questionnaire that investigates soft skills and is based on the Business-focused Inventory of Personality (BIP). Answers are grouped into four areas: intrapersonal, interpersonal, activity development, and impression management. Results show that these engineers have more self-confidence than the reference sample; they demonstrated a great commitment in setting job goals and pursuing projects, a good emotional adaptation to social situations, and enough attitudes in terms of problem solving and openness to change. Perception on the ability to work under pressure is in the average, and they seem ready to take on challenging tasks. The score shows that engineers from the sample are able to express positive and negative ideas and feelings in balance with the reference average, but sometimes they have difficulties in establishing personal relationships. Therefore, they are unable to understand the moods of those who around them and may also have difficulty in understanding their expectations. This results in some difficulties in teamwork. The general result underlines the opportunity of empowerment programs regarding soft skills.

Le relazioni tra robotica ed economia costituiscono un affascinante argomento, esso apre un ‘vasto paesaggio scientico’, che abbraccia da meccatronica e intelligenza artificiale fino a scienze sociali, arte e cultura. Questa convergenza è allo stesso tempo un bisogno, una importante sfida per entrambe le aree, e una grande opportunità per migliorare sistemi sociali e relazioni. Relationships between robotics and economy constitute a fascinating topic, it opens a ‘wide scientific landscape’, that embrace from mechatronics and artificial intelligence up to social sciences, art and culture. This convergence is, at the same time, a need, an important challenge for the two areas, and a great opportunity to improve social systems and relationships.

A dynamic framework that is «clearly identifiable» in relation to values research (Super, 1995) is essential in order to identify the meaning of interests, motivations, attitudes and ethics (Bellotto, 2004), focused on young generations facing work world. This research aims to: identify work values and values’ orientation in relation to work; specify generational and cultural differences. The research topic consists of: a sample of Spanish, composed by 230 persons, that has a more materialistic and risk-taking orientation that, even if it decreases with age, show how young Spanish are more competitive; in the Italian sample there are 203 subjects, that shows differences in terms of old and young generations regarding value orientation; the group of people from 18 to 29 years old has a significant mate-rialistic self-orientation, definitely high if compared to the other groups. The results show the importance of work values and contribute to studies about how various groups adopt different values depending on cultural and social needs. © 2017, Edizioni Universitarie di Lettere Economia Diritto.

Telemedicine, defined by the World Health Organization as ‘integrative part of telecommunication systems in the promotion of public health’, generates different positive results: more efficiency, less costs, better patient’s quality of life. Thanks to the advances in diagnostic technologies, information technologies, remote monitoring and long-distance care, telemedicine have increased the viability of home-based care, even for patients with serious conditions. At the same time we observe the increase in the elderly population suffering from pluripatologyand chronic diseases, that causes an increasing recourse to medical and hospital care; but prolonged hospital stay can determine loss of function and psychophysical disorders. Telemedicine is 'the investigation, monitoring and management of patients and education of patients and staff using systems which allow ready access to expert advice and patient information, no matter where the patient or relevant information is located'. We are empowering in different areas new biomedical and information technology as a support to clinical practice. The goal is to make a case study and to use for future analysis. In the experimental phase 4 patients were followed on hemodialysis and 4 in peritoneal dialysis, previously evaluated for clinical, social, logistical and psychological conditions. It is estimated that today there are 50.000 patients on dialysis and about 10.000 new cases a year only in Italy. Naturally there are threats to solve because users face difficulties, in terms of interaction with robots, in their usual context of life.The right methodology needs to coordinate the entire hospital, different professionals, patients, providing tools for care givers that follow patients, training technicians, aligning data collection and communication.The project reached great results in relation to the indicators: efficiency in dialysis, compliance with health protocols, impact on patient quality of life. Telemedicine and telecardiology projects are active at the ‘Hospital at Home Service of Bari’.Key words: health, telemedicine, home-based care,hospital at home, robotics, ict.

... Este cambio está en línea con la tendencia general en la educación basada en competencias, (22) que enfatiza no solo el conocimiento científico-técnico, sino también una gama más amplia de habilidades necesarias para la práctica profesional integral. (23,24,25,26) La competencia relacional, que en 2024 se destaca como la más relevante, resalta la creciente importancia de las habilidades blandas en la enfermería, fundamentales para el éxito tanto de los profesionales como de las organizaciones de atención sanitaria. (27,28) Esta tendencia es consistente con la necesidad reconocida de integrar habilidades interpersonales y emocionales en la educación de enfermería, como la comunicación efectiva y la gestión emocional, que son esenciales para mejorar la calidad de la atención y los resultados para los pacientes. ...

... Estos resultados vienen a completar los hallados por Zammitti et al. (2023) desde donde se evidencia cómo los estudiantes del sur de Italia muestran una menor satisfacción con la vida que los estudiantes del sur de España. Otra posible explicación podría estar relacionada con los valores, como concluyen Caggiano et al. (2017) en su estudio con jóvenes El trabajo decente en el desarrollo de la carrera: Un análisis comparativo de las percepciones de estudiantes universitarios italianos y españoles españoles e italianos a partir de resultados similares a los que se han obtenido en este trabajo. Esta diferencia podría llevar, según los estudios de van Holland et al. (2018) a que los estudiantes italianos pudieran aspirar a una empleabilidad más sostenible, al tener una mayor aspiración de bienestar personal. ...
