Five insights from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
2020
The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019 provides a rules-based synthesis of the available evidence on levels and trends in health outcomes, a diverse set of risk factors, and health system responses. GBD 2019 covered 204 countries and territories, as well as first administrative level disaggregations for 22 countries, from 1990 to 2019. Because GBD is highly standardised and comprehensive, spanning both fatal and non-fatal outcomes, and uses a mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive list of hierarchical disease and injury causes, the study provides a powerful basis for detailed and broad insights on global health trends and emerging challenges. GBD …
Infection success of Echinoparyphium aconiatum (Trematoda) in its snail host under high temperature: role of host resistance
2014
Background Extreme weather events such as summer heat waves become more frequent owing to global climate change and are predicted to alter disease dynamics. This is because high temperatures can reduce host immune function. Predicting the impact of climate change on host-parasite interactions is, however, difficult as temperature may also affect parasite infective stages and other host characteristics determining the outcome of interaction. Methods Two experiments were conducted to investigate these phenomena in a Lymnaea stagnalis–Echinoparyphium aconiatum (Trematoda) interaction. In the first experiment, the effects of exposure of snails to experimental heat waves [maintenance at 25°C vs.…

Individualizzazione, (neo)liberismo e disagio socio-familiare
2019
L’intento di questo saggio è quello di proporre una riflessione critica sui modi in cui è rappresentato il disagio sociale – anche da parte di uomini e donne nelle loro rappresentazioni di sé – nella società contemporanea, criticandone la supremazia quale risultato del processo della cosiddetta individualizzazione della società e mostrandone i nessi, particolarmente complicati, con il (neo)liberismo – che ha tra i suoi principi e valori cardine la sovranità dell’individuo – per delineare infine alcune delle conseguenze che esso ha sulle strutture socio-familiari della contemporaneità. The intent of this essay is to propose a critical reflection on the ways in which social unease is represen…

Intercultural and global dimension of textbooks – points of consideration for language teachers
2019
Biorąc pod uwagę, iż nauka języka obcego jest potencjalnie związana z kształtowaniem kompetencji globalnych i międzykulturowych, celem niniejszego artykułu jest krytyczna analiza treści związanych z różnorodnością kulturową zawartych w podręcznikach używanych do nauki języka angielskiego. Rama teoretyczna analizy jest oparta na wybranych aspektach programu ukrytego, edukacji globalnej i międzykulturowej oraz związkach między nimi a nauką języka angielskiego. Jakościowe badanie treści podręczników pozwoliło autorkom zidentyfikować główne tematy związane z różnorodnością etniczną, określone jako petrification (petryfikacja), exotization (egzotyzacja) oraz povertization (ukazywanie osób i grup…
Global Dynamics and Imbalance Effects in the Lucas-Uzawa Model: Further Results
2007
In this paper we use a new analytical approach to the Lucas-Uzawa model (Boucekkine and Ruiz Tamarit, 2007) to extend the existing results on the dynamics, and notably on the imbalance effects arising in the model. The approach does not only allow to extend the traditional analysis to any initial conditions and for all variables in level, but it also permits a more general investigation of imbalance effects.
