Organizzazione e diritto alla salute, alla prova della regionalizzazione e dell'aziendalizzazione dei servizi sanitari

2018

The contribution proposes an analysis of the effectiveness of the right to health, deepening the evolution of “regionalization” and “privatization of a state-owned company” of the National Health Service, in comparison with the marked regional differences (gaps) in the provision of Essential Levels of Assistance. The author researches the profile of the organization and of the financing of health services which take on a peculiar complexity in the health sector, in which there is the most complex experience of decentralization and also the introduction of fiscal federalism through the application of the requirement and the standard cost. For the purposes of overcoming health inequalities, t…

Trasparenza, whistleblowing e pubblica amministrazione. Elementi per una riflessione

2018

This chapter focuses on recent legislation that has concerned certain levels of the Public Administration, with particular reference to those interventions that are based on a constant process of empowering people within the usual place of work. In this sense, the focus is particularly on the tool called whistleblowing. Specifically, it is a practice aimed at indicating the presence of the violation of one or more rules within the usual place of work. In the chapter I dwell on some problematic aspects related to the relevant legislation also through some comparisons with the US legislation.

La justicia en economía: racionalidad económica y criterios de demarcación del estado social de justicia

2018

Analizamos la noción de justicia extrínseca y la inherente a la racionalidad utilitarista, ya sea marginalista o neoclásica. Fundamentamos tanto la justicia económica conmutativa, que debe regir todo intercambio económico, como la justicia económica distributiva, que debe gobernar la libertad positiva del individuo, es decir, su derecho a esperar un resultado justo de la actividad económica. Nos centramos en la justicia económica neoclásica, la dominante en la corriente principal en economía, y que establece la eficiencia como primera ‘virtud’ cuando en realidad se trata de un principio, y defiende que los resultados obtenidos al aplicar dicho principio de eficiencia se encuentran libre de …

On the Road Again... Quand le cinéma reprend la route

2018

International audience; Dès sa naissance, le cinéma est voyageur : attraction foraine avant de se muer en 7e art, fenêtre sur le monde, il embarque le spectateur dans des voyages immobiles. Que reste-t-il de ces origines voyageuses ? On retrouve souvent aujourd’hui à l’écran des voyages verticaux vers un ailleurs intérieur – utopique ou uchronique – : chez Walter Salles, Atom Egoyan, Ismaël Ferroukhi, Tommy Lee Jones, Sean Penn ou dans les séries télévisées qui jouent sur un autre paysage, celui de la mémoire du spectateur. À contre-courant des rêves des hippies, pourtant à l’origine du road movie, les films de route vont parfois de pair avec la quête d’une place dans la société ; partir In…

Complicaciones del aloinjerto meniscal : luxación del trasplante meniscal. A propósito de un caso.

2018

Early osteoarthritis is one of the great enemies after meniscal surgery, especially in young patients. When meniscal repair is not possible, there are few therapeutic alternatives in order to prevent this complication in the medium and long term. In this situation we can consider the possibility of carrying out techniques such as implants with substitute materials or meniscal transplants with allografts. This article describes the evolution of a 25-year-old patient who underwent one of these meniscal transplants.

Ambroisie trifide, ambroisie à épis lisses : deux poids, deux mesures

2018

National audience; A la demande des Ministères chargés de la santé, de l'environnement et de l'Agriculture, l'ANSES a réalisé des ARP de l'ambroisie trifide (Ambrosia trifida) et l'ambroisie à épis lisses (Ambrosia psilostachya). Résultat : Malgré la proximité botanique de ces espèces, le groupe d'expert a proposé deux conclusions différentes. Si l'ambroisie à épis lisses ne semble pas nécessiter de mesure stricte de gestion il a été recommandé une gestion la plus rigoureuse possible de l'ambroisie trifide. A la suite de ce travail, l'ambroisie trifide pourrait être inscrite sur la liste des espèces européennes nécessitant la mis en place de plan de gestion obligatoire.

Lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles: combining Environmental and Social Life Cycle Assessments

2018

Electric vehicles (xEV) are a key low carbon technology for mobility. Although xEV have no tailpipe emissions, the production of traction batteries leads to environmental and social burdens. In this context, authors assess the environmental and social impacts of a cell of Lithium ion traction battery in order to identify the most relevant aspects and the potential added value of performing both the assessments. Results show the relevance of the resources in terms of both environmental and social impacts. Moreover, the social assessment results pointed out the relevance of the geographical boundaries, often overlooked for in the environmental analysis. The combination of both the assessment …

Regional development of Romania – a premise for better project financing

The article approaches important aspects regarding the regional development process in Romania in direct correlation with the European Union views and directives in this field. This paper argues that regionalization implies a new reorganization of Romania in view of a balanced development and to increase the absorption of European Funds, which consequently engages regional development, the development of local communities and the decentralization of public administration. Furthermore, in this paper we present the consistency issue concerning the request for territorial- administrative development in Romania, as it originates from the strategic documents, namely the "National Plan of Governa…

Scaffolding by means of scientific concepts: a teacher-guided peer response activity

2018

The paper analyzes the performance of a university student on a peer response activity which is part of an assignment in a writing course for second-year students of English philology. With Vygotsky’s (1987) doctrine of scientific concepts as a lens, it looks at how in the course of the peer response activity the teacher and the students support one another in their respective attempts to teach and learn writing. Teacher support on tasks, known as scaffolding (e.g. Stone 1998), is based on the idea that instruction should provide for transfer of responsibility for a complex task from teacher to student (Vygotsky 1978; Wood, Bruner, & Ross 1976). Adopting the Vygotskian perspective, I explai…
