Confine: qualche spunto

In recent years, the word “border” has been used in different contexts: geo- political, economic, cultural, territorial, social. One of man’s first activities was to draw boundaries to define the relationship between the ego and the other, to establish the space of action. The border has not only served this purpose. Borders contribute to construct concepts, to generate reality, to shape the world. Therefore, studying the boundaries is quite complex in the first place for the different disciplines, approaches and analysis. Particular attention was paid to geographical boundaries as markers of the territories of the States, but the border is a symbolic and mental separator, but also a tool t…

Stranieri e istruzione: banchi di prova

Gli ultimi anni sono stati caratterizzati da un consistente incremento in tutto il territorio nazionale, di generazioni di stranieri o per problematizzare una definizione alquanto complessa, di un «insieme di seconde generazioni». L’espressione «seconde generazioni» è strettamente collegato a un processo di categorizzazione che rivolge l’attenzione soprattutto verso le origini del giovane (Colombo, Domaneschi, Marchetti, 2009). Il saggio avrà l’obiettivo di offrire una fotografia della presenza dei giovani stranieri nelle scuole del territorio siciliano e sarà articolato in due sezioni. Nella prima sarà costruita la cornice epistemologica di riferimento, mentre nella seconda sarà analizzata…

Citizens’ Participation : Palermo, an Italian Case Study of Civic Engagement

Since the 1990s, much of the international literature on participation has been focused on the disaffection of citizens to- ward politics (Rosanvallon, 2008, 2011); the connection be- tween representative democracy and deliberative democracy (Macaluso, 2007); the presence of citizens in policy making and the new forms of participation. However, in the last few years, the civic engagement experiences have been numerous in the whole world. We can distinguish between top–down and bottom–up forms of governance promoted by citizens.In this paper we discuss some forms of bottom–up participation of citizens.

Brivaracetam as Early Add-On Treatment in Patients with Focal Seizures: A Retrospective, Multicenter, RealWorld Study

Introduction: In randomized controlled trials, add-on brivaracetam (BRV) reduced seizure frequency in patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy. Most real-world research on BRV has focused on refractory epilepsy. The aim of this analysis was to assess the 12-month effectiveness and tolerability of adjunctive BRV when used as early or late adjunctive treatment in patients included in the BRIVAracetam add-on First Italian netwoRk Study (BRIVAFIRST). Methods: BRIVAFIRST was a 12-month retrospective, multicenter study including adult patients prescribed adjunctive BRV. Effectiveness outcomes included the rates of sustained seizure response, sustained seizure freedom, and treatment discontinua…
