(2011): Multidisciplinary approach for developing a new robotic system for domiciliary assistance to elderly people. In: Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual Conference, S. 5327-5330. DOI: 10.1109/IEMBS.2011.6091318
DOI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22255541 Abstract: This paper aims to show the effectiveness of a (inter / multi)disciplinary team, based on the technology developers, elderly care organizations, and designers, in developing the ASTRO robotic system for domiciliary assistance to elderly people. The main issues presented in this work concern the improvement of robot's behavior by means of a smart sensor network able to share information with the robot for localization and navigation, and the design of the robot's appearance and functionalities by means of a substantial analysis of users' requirements and attitude to robotic technology to improve acceptability and usability.

(2010): Mental health care and the politics of inclusion. A social systems account of psychiatric deinstitutionalization. In: Theoretical medicine and bioethics 31 (6), S. 411-427. DOI: 10.1007/s11017-010-9155-8
DOI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20711755 Abstract: This paper provides an interpretation, based on the social systems theory of German sociologist Niklas Luhmann, of the recent paradigmatic shift of mental health care from an asylum-based model to a community-oriented network of services. The observed shift is described as the development of psychiatry as a function system of modern society and whose operative goal has moved from the medical and social management of a lower and marginalized group to the specialized medical and psychological care of the whole population. From this theoretical viewpoint, the wider deployment of the modern social order as a functionally differentiated system may be considered to be a consistent driving force for this process; it has made asylum psychiatry overly incompatible with prevailing social values (particularly with the normative and regulative principle of inclusion of all individuals in the different functional spheres of society and with the common patterns of participation in modern function systems) and has, in turn, required the availability of psychiatric care for a growing number of individuals. After presenting this account, some major challenges for the future of mental health care provision, such as the overburdening of services or the overt exclusion of a significant group of potential users, are identified and briefly discussed.

(2007): Ethics of unprofessional behavior that disrupts. Crossing the line. In: Journal of vascular surgery 45 (2), S. 433-435. DOI: 10.1016/j.jvs.2006.11.043
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvs.2006.11.043 Abstract: As chief of surgery, you have been contacted by the managing operating room (OR) nurse about Dr Frank N. Stein’s behavior earlier this morning. Dr Stein, a senior surgeon, has long had a reputation for outlandish behaviors in the OR. He is the impeccable gentleman outside that environment, loved by patients and nonoperating personnel alike. He has an international reputation as a master technical surgeon, operates as efficiently as anyone on the planet, and has the largest practice at the medical center. He has survived beyond the generation of tolerance because he has retained the same OR crew that over the years have calloused enough to regard his scurrilousness as just being Dr S. Today, he crossed the line. Dr. Stein, known for his colorful diatribes, trounced decorum when he ordered the operative team, excepting the anesthesiologist, out of the OR and demanded that a new team be substituted. This resulted from a shouting match with a new circulator when she took issue with a personal insult. The transition was accomplished, causing delays in both Dr Stein’s OR and several other ORs where substitute nurses were commandeered. At least one other faculty surgeon has complained about the inconvenience. In your office, Frank, long a colleague, insists that the nurses involved are assassins and refuses to work with them from this day. What should be done?
