Privileged places in the city: urban quality, livability, sustainability
2022
Public spaces are privileged places in the city. Unfortunately, conurbation phenomena have taken over, leaving local places and identities to disintegrate, marking a clear break between community and settlement, obstructing the common good and the use of public spaces. To improve well-being and quality of life, public spaces must be attractive and safe, which is why they must be designed according to principles that meet the needs and expectations of all citizens, with particular attention to the weakest, as indicated in the Public Space Charter in 2013, in line with the European Landscape Convention and the United Nations Program for Human Settlements (UN-Habitat).

Personal Social Networks of Community-Dwelling Oldest Old During the Covid-19 Pandemic—A Qualitative Study
2021
The COVID-19 pandemic and its related restrictions have affected the everyday life of older people. Advanced age is a significant predisposing factor for a more severe COVID-19 infection, increasing the risk for hospitalization and mortality. Even though restrictions have been, thus, well-grounded, they may also have had detrimental effects on the social well-being of older people. Personal networks and social activity are known protective factors against the premature decline in health and functioning, and it is widely acknowledged that social isolation increases feelings of loneliness, poor quality of life, and even the risk for diseases and disabilities among older adults. This qualitati…
Baveno VII – Renewing consensus in portal hypertension
2022
To expand on the work of previous meetings, a virtual Baveno VII workshop was organised for October 2021. Among patients with compensated cirrhosis or compensated advanced chronic liver disease (cACLD – defined at the Baveno VI conference), the presence or absence of clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH) is associated with differing outcomes, including risk of death, and different diagnostic and therapeutic needs. Accordingly, the Baveno VII workshop was entitled “Personalized Care for Portal Hypertension”. The main fields of discussion were the relevance and indications for measuring the hepatic venous pressure gradient as a gold standard, the use of non-invasive tools for the …

Giuseppe Cocchiara, il fascismo e il razzismo
2021
In questo saggio viene ricostruito il rapporto tra Giuseppe Cocchiara e il fascismo. L’antropologo visse in pieno la sua formazione culturale all'interno del regime al quale aderì con convinzione e slancio, militando sempre nelle sue fazioni più radicali, condividendone fedelmente le scelte più tragiche come la guerra d’Etiopia, sottoscrivendo le leggi razziali, impegnandosi nella seconda guerra mondiale con le armi culturali dell’antisemitismo e della lotta senza tregua contro la democrazia. Così quando, come in un «mondo alla rovescia», sconfitto il fascismo sotto il peso di un’umiliante e sanguinosa disfatta, saranno proprio gli odiati inglesi a valorizzarne la statura intellettuale e la…
Climate Resilience Pathways of Rural Households. Evidence from Ethiopia
2018
This paper explores the resilience capacity of rural Ethiopian households after the drought shock occurred in 2011. The work develops an original empirical framework able to capture the policy and socio-economic determinants of households’ resilience capacity by making parametric statistical assumption on the resilience distribution. To this end, the analysis employs a two-wave representative panel dataset aligned with detailed weather records while controlling for a large set of household- and community-level characteristics. The analysis shows that the majority of these factors affects significantly resilience capacity only in the group of households affected by the drought shock, suggest…
Towards an International Economic Security Regime for Alternative Development in Illicit Drug Producing Countries: Exploring International Support fo…
2013
Esta investigación explora la estrategia de la reducción de la oferta dentro del contexto del fenómeno global de las drogas ilícitas. Tiene un enfoque especial en las políticas nacionales e internacionales del desarrollo alternativo y de comercio que pretenden reducir la oferta de plantas narcóticas, drogas y sustancias psicotrópicas a través de políticas de desarrollo económico en países productores. El argumento central de la investigación es que se podría considerar Colombia como un punto de referencia para establecer un régimen internacional eficaz de apoyo transfronterizo para estrategias de desarrollo alternativo para abordar la oferta de drogas ilícitas por el mundo.

Interconnections among inflammation, chronic liver disease and HIV: understanding the hepatoprotective effects of the antiretroviral drug rilpivirine
2022
INTRODUCCIÓN Durante las últimas décadas, la utilización de la terapia antirretroviral combinada (TARc) para combatir la infección por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH) ha convertido esta enfermedad en una patología crónica. A pesar de que la TARc ha mejorado enormemente la calidad de vida de los pacientes, según diversos estudios epidemiológicos, estos pacientes envejecen antes y sufren de enfermedades relacionadas con la edad como cáncer, osteoporosis, enfermedades metabólicas (diabetes mellitus y enfermedad hepática) y patologías neurodegenerativas aparecen a edades más tempranas que la población no infectada. Los mecanismos responsables de este fenómeno aún no se conocen, si…
