Learning objectives
- Conoscere i fondamenti della fisica
- Conoscere le metodologie statistiche e statistico-epidemiologiche applicate all'ambito biomedico e clinico.
- Conoscere elementi e normativa relativi alla radioprotezione.
Expected learning outcomes
Al termine dell'insegnamento lo studente dovrà avere una buona conoscenza dei fondamenti delle discipline propedeutiche (fisica, statistica e radioprotezione) e avere familiarità con il metodo scientifico preparandosi ad applicarlo in situazioni concrete. Avrà acquisito competenze e strumenti per la lettura e la
gestione dell'informazione.
Single course

This course can be attended as a single course.

Course syllabus and organization

Sezione: Bosisio Parini

Prerequisites for admission
No further or different prerequisite is required than those necessary for the admission to the course of study.
Assessment methods and Criteria
The exam is written and consists of sections of multiple choice questions and / or simple exercises referring to the modules of the course and optimized for the module content and type. Each answer has a score. The test is considered passed with a score ≥ 18 in each of the sections. The final score is given by the average of the sections scores weighted by the CFU of the modules. The results of the test are available on the Ariel web page.
Fisica applicata
Course syllabus
- symbols, powers, orders of magnitude
- variables and functions of variables, charts, Cartesian coordinates
- vector, polar coordinates, trigonometric functions
General concepts:
- physical quantities and their dimension in the international system
Mechanics concepts:
- space, time, speed, acceleration (medium and snapshots)
- forces, laws of dynamics, mass, density
- special forces: weight, contact force, elastic force, friction, tension
- generated motions: uniform, straight and circular motion, accelerated motion, parabolic motion, varied motion, harmonic motion.
- work, power, kinetic energy, kinetic energy theorem
- conservative forces, potential energy, expression of potential energy for weight and elastic force
- mechanical energy conservation law, mechanical energy balance.
- Material point systems, center of mass. Impulsive interactions, impulse theorem and momentum.
- Torque. Equilibrium for extended bodies. Levers.
Teaching methods
Lectures accompanied by class exercises.
The slides are available in Ariel.
Teaching Resources
The slides of the lectures will be made available on the Ariel website of the course.
Statistica medica
Course syllabus
Brief description of the main epidemiological and clinical study designs
Basic principles of data collection and management, qualitative and quantitative variables and their characteristics.
Building and reading the contingency tables. Two-way tables.
The concept of probability and risk. An application of probabilities: the measures of diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity and specificity).
Building and reading different types of graphs: pie charts, bar charts, histograms, scatter plots.
Measures of central tendency: mode, median, quartiles, means.
Measures of dispersion: range, interquartile range, standard deviation, coefficient of variation.
Measurement and interpretation of the statistical association between two qualitative variables: difference between risks, relative risk and odds ratio.
Teaching methods
Lectures accompanied by class exercises.
The slides are available in Ariel.
