Has Multiculturalism Failed in Europe? Migration Policies, State of Emergency, and Their Impact on Migrants’ Identities in Italy

2014

This chapter analyzes migration policies in Italy within the larger frame of the debate on multiculturalism and its failure in Europe. The first part focuses on the exceptional flow of migrants that after the recent conflicts in Northern Africa was directed toward Europe across the Italian coast. The emergency raised issues for the defense of territories, social security, and preservation of identity. The author demonstrates the inefficiency of the Italian migration and emergency policies that has been adopted at the arrival of undocumented migrants from Northern Africa in 2011. The chapter uses the case of Italy to show the weakness of Europe in developing effective forms of coexistence an…

On the social meanings inherent in literacy campaigns

1990

Artikkelissa tarkastellaan luku- ja kirjoitustaitokampanjoita käsittelevän kansainvälisen dokumenttiaineiston perusteella sitä, millaisia merkityksiä sisältyy lukuja kirjoitustaidottomuuden määrittelyyn yhteiskunnalliseksi ongelmaksi, ja asetetaan kyseenalaiseksi tässä aineistossa ilmenevä yleismaailmallinen ideologia. Lisäksi pohditaan luku- ja kirjoitustaidon mahdollisista emansipatorista merkitystä kehitysmaiden oloissa.

Prise en charge au long cours par les anti-agrégants plaquettaires oraux après un syndrome coronaire aigu

2007

Cardiovascular disease is the primary cause of early death and morbidity in the industrialized world and is becoming a growing problem in many developing countries. Coagulation inhibitors play a major role in the management of the acute phase of ACS whether in association with reperfusion strategies or not. Currently, and in accordance with the results of major randomised studies, for medium and long-term management, the association of Clopidogrel and aspirin is the treatment of choice. However, despite the recognised benefits of this therapeutic strategy and above all the recommendations of learned societies, which have placed this bi-therapy in class I, according to national and internati…

Choosing an ideal pharmacotherapeutic strategy for dyslipidemia in children.

2018

Dyslipdiemia can manifest at a young age, and it is a risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), the principal cause of mortality in developed nations. Therefore, treating it a...

Impact of Sex Differences and Diabetes on Coronary Atherosclerosis and Ischemic Heart Disease

2018

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) including coronary artery disease (CAD) and ischemic heart disease (IHD) are the main cause of mortality in industrialized countries. Although it is well known that there is a difference in the risk of these diseases in women and men, current therapy does not consider the sexual dimorphism; i.e., differences in anatomical structures and metabolism of tissues. Here, we discuss how genetic, epigenetic, hormonal, cellular or molecular factors may explain the different CVD risk, especially in high-risk groups such as women with diabetes. We analyze whether sex may modify the effects of diabetes at risk of CAD. Finally, we discuss current diagnostic techniques in th…

Pan-Asian adapted ESMO Clinical Practice Guidelines for the diagnosis treatment and follow-up of patients with localised colon cancer

2021

The most recent version of the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Clinical Practice Guidelines for the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of localised colon cancer was published in 2020. It was decided by both the ESMO and the Japanese Society of Medical Oncology (JSMO) to convene a special virtual guidelines meeting in March 2021 to adapt the ESMO 2020 guidelines to take into account the ethnic differences associated with the treatment of localised colon cancer in Asian patients. These guidelines represent the consensus opinions reached by experts in the treatment of patients with localised colon cancer representing the oncological societies of Japan (JSMO), China (CSCO), India (…

Integrated case scripts to enhance diagnostic competency

2015

Background The overwhelmingly high burden of disease and disorder especially in developing countries requires oral physicians to provide optimal dental treatment without complicating individuals’ general health. The opportunity for learners to extract the multiple aspects of a systemic condition and to relate them with the presenting complaint in order to devise an appropriate dental treatment plan is limited by time in chair- side teaching. To overcome the necessity of exposing students to real patients with varying degrees of underlying disease, those in medical and nursing education unanimously employ imaginary scenarios similar to real cases. However, such clinical scripts are seldom pr…

Simulated skiing as a measurement tool for performance in cross-country sit-skiing

2019

The International Paralympic Committee mandates the development of an evidence-based classification system, which requires a measure of performance. Performance in cross-country sit-skiing is mainly dependent on force generated during the poling phase and is enhanced by trunk flexion–extension movements. Since all sit-skiers have neuromuscular impairment, but different ability to control the trunk, this study aimed to verify if simulated action of poling on an adapted ergometer, together with a cluster analysis, could be used for grouping participants with different impairments according to their performance. On the ergometer, eight male and five female participants performed seven poling c…

Laparoscopy in Low-Income Countries: 10-Year Experience and Systematic Literature Review

2021

Laparoscopy is a procedure that ultimately reduces hospital stay time and speeds up post-operative recovery. It is mainly performed in high-income countries but its implementation in many low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) is increasing. However, no aggregate data exist regarding the outcomes of this procedure in resource-limited settings. We retrospectively reviewed all cases of laparoscopy recorded from January 2007 to March 2017 at the Department of Surgery of Beira to assess the related outcomes. Moreover, we performed a systematic review of the laparoscopic practices and outcomes in low-income countries. Data from the Department of Surgery of Beira identified 363 laparoscopic proc…
