Interim 2017/18 influenza seasonal vaccine effectiveness: combined results from five European studies
2018
Between September 2017 and February 2018, influenza A(H1N1)pdm09, A(H3N2) and B viruses (mainly B/Yamagata, not included in 2017/18 trivalent vaccines) co-circulated in Europe. Interim results from five European studies indicate that, in all age groups, 2017/18 influenza vaccine effectiveness was 25 to 52% against any influenza, 55 to 68% against influenza A(H1N1)pdm09, -42 to 7% against influenza A(H3N2) and 36 to 54% against influenza B. 2017/18 influenza vaccine should be promoted where influenza still circulates.

To understand the scope of the current situation, it is convenient to consider even briefly what the IRPH consists of and the consequences that its application has entailed for the affected consumer borrowers, taking into …

International audience; The objective of Integrated Care Pathways for Airway Diseases (AIRWAYS-ICPs) is to launch a collaboration to develop multi-sectoral care pathways for chronic respiratory diseases in European countries and regions. AIRWAYS-ICPs has strategic relevance to the European Union Health Strategy and will add value to existing public health knowledge by: 1) proposing a common framework of care pathways for chronic respiratory diseases, which will facilitate comparability and trans-national initiatives; 2) informing cost-effective policy development, strengthening in particular those on smoking and environmental exposure; 3) aiding risk stratification in chronic disease patien…
The vulnerability to exploitation of women migrant workers in agriculture in the EU: The need for a human rights and gender based approach

An innovative approach to manage uncertainties and stock diversity in the EPBD cost-optimal methodology
2018
The EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) 2010/31/EU is a step in the right direction to promote near zero energy buildings (NZEB) in a step-wise manner, starting with minimum energy performance and cost optimal thresholds for “reference buildings” (RBs) for each category. Nevertheless, a standard method for defining RBs does not exist, which led to a great divergence between MS in the level of detail used to define RBs for the EPBD cost-optimal analysis. Such lack of harmonisation between MS is further evident given the resulting large discrepancies in energy performance indicators even between countries having similar climate. Furthermore, discrepancies of 30% or higher betw…
L’autonomia di spesa delle Regioni fra Stato ed Unione europea dalla l. cost. 3/2001 alle condizionalità europee sulla ripresa e la resilienza
2021
L'articolo ricostruisce la tendenza all’accentramento nel governo delle finanze pubbliche e l’eccessiva distanza fra testo costituzionale e diritto costituzionale vivente per analizzare l'attuazione del Recovery Plan (PNRR) rilevando un ulteriore tendenza all’accentramento del governo della spesa. Si indagano dunque le ragioni della compressione dell’autonomia finanziaria di spesa per effetto del principio di indifferenza e del “doppio intreccio federale”. Si mira a inquadrare il tema alla luce della leale collaborazione e dellala resilienza istituzionale per accorciare la “distanza” fra testo costituzionale ed attuazione costituzionale in tema di autonomia di spesa delle Regioni. Si prospe…
