La crise du Covid-19, un changement stratégique pour le tourisme ? L’analyse de la recherche internationale
2020
Article professionnel; International audience; Le confinement mondial lié au Covid-19 a été propice aux réflexions et échanges entre chercheurs du monde entier, que cet article synthétise. À court terme, la crise du coronavirus aura des effets destructeurs sur l’industrie du tourisme. Toutefois, les chercheurs pensent voire espèrent que la crise va transformer radicalement les mobilités à l’échelle mondiale et que le tourisme va devenir plus responsable et plus durable. La crise ne révolutionnera pas l’industrie du tourisme du jour au lendemain, mais elle induira des changements opérationnels, et stratégiques, à plusieurs niveaux.
The Italian Version of the Adult Vaccine Hesitancy Scale (aVHS) for the Working-Age Population: Cross-Cultural Adaptation, Reliability, and Validity
2022
The adult Vaccine Hesitancy Scale (aVHS) is valid and reliable for evaluating attitudes toward vaccine preventable diseases (VPDs). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the cross-cultural adaptation, reliability, and validity of the Italian version of the aVHS. After cross-cultural adaptation of the aVHS, internal consistency (IC), intra-class correlation (ICC), and content validity (S-CVI) were evaluated through a survey on 160 workers. Results of the ICC were analyzed on questionnaires administered twice at a distance of two months and revealed a satisfactory reproducibility (0.87). The IC of the aVHS was assessed by the Cronbach alpha coefficient test, with a result of 0.94, demo…
Early and Longitudinal Humoral Response to the SARS-CoV-2 mRNA BNT162b2 Vaccine in Healthcare Workers: Significance of BMI, Adipose Tissue and Muscle…
2022
Background: This study aimed to investigate the early and longitudinal humoral response in Healthcare Workers (HCWs) after two doses of the BNT162b2 vaccine and to assess the association between metabolic and anthropometric parameters and the humoral response after vaccination. Methods: The study included 243 fully vaccinated HCWs: 25.50% previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 (with prior history of COVID-19—PH) and 74.40%—uninfected, seronegative before the first vaccination (with no prior history of COVID-19—NPH). IgG antibodies were measured, and sera were collected: prior to the vaccination, 21 days after the first dose, and 14 days and 8 months after the second dose. Res…

Who can go back to work when the COVID-19 pandemic remits?
2020
AbstractThis paper seeks to determine which workers affected by lockdown measures can return to work when a government decides to apply lockdown exit strategies. This system, which we call Sequential Selective Multidimensional Decision (SSMD), involves deciding sequentially, by geographical areas, sectors of activity, age groups and immunity, which workers can return to work at a given time according to the epidemiological criteria of the country as well as that of a group of reference countries, used as a benchmark, that have suffered a lower level of lockdown de-escalation strategies. We apply SSMD to Spain, based on affiliation to the Social Security system prior to the COVID-19 pandemic…

COVID-19 Pandemic: Prevention and protection measures to be adopted at the workplace
2020
Introduction: SARS-CoV-2, identified in Wuhan, China, for the first time in December 2019, is a new viral strain, which has not been previously identified in humans; it can be transmitted both by air and via direct and indirect contact; however, the most frequent way it spreads is via droplets. Like the other viruses belonging to the same family of coronaviruses, it can cause from mild flu-like symptoms, such as cold, sore throat, cough and fever, to more severe ones such as pneumonia and breathing difficulties, and it can even lead to death. Since no effective specific drug therapy has been found yet, nor any vaccine capable of limiting the spread of this pathogen, it is important for way…
Lo sviluppo economico è/e lo sviluppo della qualità: un parco dell'innovazione a Catania
2022
Il tema delle periferie produttive (o ex produttive) negli ultimi anni ha assunto un ruolo predominante nella pianificazione delle città al fine di rivalutare le aree industriali dismesse come serbatoi per la riqualificazione urbana ed economica delle nostre città. Sicurezza, degrado sociale e ambientale, abbandono, consumo di suolo sono le principali problematiche di queste aree e investire nella loro riqualificazione può essere un’occasione centrale per la “ripartenza” economica delle nostre città. Per tale motivo, la Regione Siciliana ha recentemente designato una vasta area della città di Catania come “Zona Economica Speciale” (ZES) per il rilancio delle filiere economiche della città. …
DNA damage response at telomeres boosts the transcription of SARS-CoV-2 receptor ACE2 during aging
2021
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), known to be more common in the elderly, who also show more severe symptoms and are at higher risk of hospitalization and death. Here, we show that the expression of the angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), the SARS-CoV-2 cell receptor, increases during aging in mouse and human lungs. ACE2 expression increases upon telomere shortening or dysfunction in both cultured mammalian cells and in vivo in mice. This increase is controlled at the transcriptional level, and Ace2 promoter activity is DNA damage response (DDR)-dependent. Both pharmacological global DDR inhibition of ATM kin…
