The policy of public health genomics in Italy.
2013
Abstract Italy has a monitoring system for genetic testing, consisting in a periodic census of clinical and laboratory activities performed in the country. The experience is limited, however, concerning the translation of genomic testing for complex diseases into clinical practice. For the first time the Italian Ministry of Health has introduced a policy strategic plan on genomics and predictive medicine within the 2010–2012 National Prevention Plan. This achievement was supported by the Italian Network for Public Health Genomics (GENISAP) and will likely contribute to the integration of public health genomics into health care in the country. Our experience might be of interest not only in …
Long-term efficacy of lipoprotein apheresis and lomitapide in the treatment of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH): a cross-national retr…
2021
Abstract Background Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) is a rare life-threatening condition that represents a therapeutic challenge. The vast majority of HoFH patients fail to achieve LDL-C targets when treated with the standard protocol, which associates maximally tolerated dose of lipid-lowering medications with lipoprotein apheresis (LA). Lomitapide is an emerging therapy in HoFH, but its place in the treatment algorithm is disputed because a comparison of its long-term efficacy versus LA in reducing LDL-C burden is not available. We assessed changes in long-term LDL-C burden and goals achievement in two independent HoFH patients’ cohorts, one treated with lomitapide in Ita…
O3.1. ASSOCIATION OF EXTENT OF CANNABIS USE AND ACUTE INTOXICATION EXPERIENCES IN A MULTI-NATIONAL SAMPLE OF FIRST EPISODE PSYCHOSIS PATIENTS AND CON…
2019
Background FEP patients who use cannabis experience more frequent intoxication experiences compared to controls. It is not clear whether this is consequent to patients being more vulnerable to the effects of cannabis use or to their heavier pattern of use. We aimed to determine whether extent of use predicted psychotic-like and euphoric intoxication experiences in FEP patients and controls and whether this differs between groups. Methods We analysed data on lifetime cannabis using patients (n=655) and controls (n=654) across 15 sites from six countries in the EU-GEI study (2010–2015). We used multiple regression to model predictors of cannabis-induced experiences and Factorial ANOVA to dete…

Partycypacja mniejszości niemieckiej w polskim życiu publicznym po 1989 r. – przypadek Śląska Opolskiego
2017
Artykuł jest próbą politologicznego spojrzenia na zagadnienie partycypacji mniejszości niemieckiej w polskim życiu publicznym w okresie pozimnowojennym. Autor uczestnictwo społeczności polskich Niemców analizuje na przykładzie udziału organizacji mniejszości niemieckiej w wyborach parlamentarnych i samorządowych oraz wykorzystywaniu możliwości wsparcia, jakie mniejszościom narodowym i etnicznym daje polskie prawo. Autor podzielił problematykę na trzy elementy. W pierwszym przybliża proces uzyskiwania podmiotowości przez mniejszość niemiecką po 1989 r. i włączania się tej społeczności w życie polityczne na poziomie lokalnym, regionalnym oraz ogólnopolskim – poprzez uczestnictwo w wyborach pa…
Training and motivation in childhood and adolescence in Finnish elite footballers at different phases of their athletic careers
2021
This study retrospectively explored 1) early specialization and hours of training in childhood and adolescence and 2) the interrelations of different types of motivation in four samples of elite male footballers in different phases of their athletic careers (N=91): Finnish first-tier players (n=23), youth national team players (U19 and U21; n=33), national team players (n=22), and Finland’s so-called Golden Generation players of the 1990s and 2000s (n=13). For this study, the Golden Generation was defined by FAF as footballers who had played at least ten official World cup or European championship qualifying games between the years 1996‒2008 and played in international top leagues during th…
Le processus souverainiste en Catalogne : entre crise institutionnelle et impasse politique
2017
Cet article interroge les facteurs qui ont conduit, à partir de 2010, à une radicalisation des revendications indépendantistes en Catalogne et à une situation de quasi-blocage institutionnel à travers une analyse des discours politiques des exécutifs catalan et madrilène et des nouveaux modes d'activité protestataire mis en place par la société civile. La complexité de cette crise qui pose le problème des limites du cadre constitutionnel de 1978 implique de prendre en compte les interactions qui se créent entre la sphère politique et la société civile au cours de ce cycle de mobilisations. La réflexion s'oriente donc à la fois sur les arguments convoqués dans le discours institutionnel mais…

Between idealism and realism: the global governance of nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament
2014
Why has it not yet been possible to bring the nuclear weapons regime to an end and why are prospects about a nuclear weapon free future so bleak? In this thesis, I analyze both the achievements and failures concerning the global governance of nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament. In the first chapter, I outline key terms and concepts as well as the historical backgrounds, which are essential for understanding the proliferation of nuclear weapons and the global governance of nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament. In the second chapter, I examine the efforts on nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament of four global key actors within the United Nations family: the General Assembly, …
National identity, national music and popular music in the Italian Music Press during the long 19th century
2011
Discusses the notions of national identity, national music and popular music as they emerged in Italian music periodicals during the years 1840–1890, in relation to the process of Italy’s political unification and the dissemination of foreign operas such as French grands opéras in the years 1840–1870 and Wagner’s Musikdramen from 1871 on. Essays and articles by relevant critics and musicians, such as Abramo Basevi and Francesco D’Arcais are discussed. Articles by lesser known journalists such as Pietro Cominazzi and Mattia Cipollone are also taken into account. The use of words like “national” and “popular” is analysed when referring to Italian opera, to its history and to the operas by for…
