Short term association between ozone and mortality: global two stage time series study in 406 locations in 20 countries
2020
Objective To assess short term mortality risks and excess mortality associated with exposure to ozone in several cities worldwide. Design Two stage time series analysis. Setting 406 cities in 20 countries, with overlapping periods between 1985 and 2015, collected from the database of Multi-City Multi-Country Collaborative Research Network. Population Deaths for all causes or for external causes only registered in each city within the study period. Main outcome measures Daily total mortality (all or non-external causes only). Results A total of 45 165 171 deaths were analysed in the 406 cities. On average, a 10 µg/m3 increase in ozone during the current and previous day was associated with a…
Short term associations of ambient nitrogen dioxide with daily total, cardiovascular, and respiratory mortality: multilocation analysis in 398 cities
2021
Objective To evaluate the short term associations between nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and total, cardiovascular, and respiratory mortality across multiple countries/regions worldwide, using a uniform analytical protocol. Design Two stage, time series approach, with overdispersed generalised linear models and multilevel meta-analysis. Setting 398 cities in 22 low to high income countries/regions. Main outcome measures Daily deaths from total (62.8 million), cardiovascular (19.7 million), and respiratory (5.5 million) causes between 1973 and 2018. Results On average, a 10 μg/m3 increase in NO2 concentration on lag 1 day (previous day) was associated with 0.46% (95% confidence interval 0.36% to 0.5…
Late Cardiac Events after Childhood Cancer: Methodological Aspects of the Pan-European Study PanCareSurFup.
2016
Background and AimChildhood cancer survivors are at high risk of long-term adverse effects of cancer and its treatment, including cardiac events. The pan-European PanCareSurFup study determined the incidence and risk factors for cardiac events among childhood cancer survivors. The aim of this article is to describe the methodology of the cardiac cohort and nested case-control study within PanCareSurFup.MethodsEight data providers in Europe participating in PanCareSurFup identified and validated symptomatic cardiac events in their cohorts of childhood cancer survivors. Data on symptomatic heart failure, ischemia, pericarditis, valvular disease and arrhythmia were collected and graded accordi…
Health-related quality of life in European childhood cancer survivors: Protocol for a study within PanCareLIFE
2021
Background Survival after childhood cancer has improved to more than 80% during the last few years, leading to an increased number of childhood cancer survivors. Cancer itself, or its treatment, may cause chronic health conditions, including somatic and mental sequelae, which may affect survivors’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Objective The project PanCareLIFE aims to establish a large database with comprehensive data on childhood cancer survivors from different European countries, including data on HRQoL. Within PanCareLIFE, this study aims to describe HRQoL in survivors, investigate predictors of HRQoL, and describe the association of HRQoL with hearing and female fertility imp…
Mortality risk attributable to wildfire-related PM2·5 pollution: a global time series study in 749 locations
2021
Summary Background Many regions of the world are now facing more frequent and unprecedentedly large wildfires. However, the association between wildfire-related PM2·5 and mortality has not been well characterised. We aimed to comprehensively assess the association between short-term exposure to wildfire-related PM2·5 and mortality across various regions of the world. Methods For this time series study, data on daily counts of deaths for all causes, cardiovascular causes, and respiratory causes were collected from 749 cities in 43 countries and regions during 2000–16. Daily concentrations of wildfire-related PM2·5 were estimated using the three-dimensional chemical transport model GEOS-Chem …
La racionalidad y la sostenibilidad como figuras míticas en el desmontaje del sistema público de servicios sociales
2014
Este artículo constituye un balance de los cambios que se están produciendo en el sistema de servicios sociales de la Comunidad Valenciana: 1) Una contextualización en un eje histórico que concluye con la actual búsqueda de un “consenso retrógrado” para desmontar el sistema público y los movimientos sociales de resistencia; 2) El desplazamiento de la contención social de la crisis desde el sistema de servicios sociales al de seguridad social; 3) Las transformaciones institucionales producidas por la vía presupuestaria; 4) El “efecto bumerang” sobre los Servicios Sociales que produce la implementación de la Ley de “promoción de la autonomía personal y apoyo a las situaciones de dependencia”;…
Una radiografia dels serveis socials valencians
2010
Desde una perspectiva histórica se analiza la dimensión substantiva de los Servicios Sociales Valencianos. Se toman como referencia investigaciones y datos elaborados por los autores sobre los ejes constitutivos del sistema, de tal manera que al globalizarlos se obtiene una radiografía de su situación. A partir del análisis se proyectan los rasgos constitutivos del sistema público de servicios sociales valenciano, así como los escenarios presentes y futuros del mismo. Se concluye que en perspectiva comparada es un sistema plenamente asistencial, de doble red y mercantilizado An analysis of the substantive dimension of Valencian Social Services is done by means of a combination between histo…
Los MENA en Italia: criticidades en la integración entre políticas nacionales e intervenciones locales.
2015
El fenómeno de los MENA está en continuo crecimiento y que es de carácter permanente. Los servicios presentes en el territorio, constantemente tuvieron que responder esencialmente a situaciones de continua emergencia, más que a promover verdaderas intervenciones programáticas. Esto ha terminado por favorecer una metodología de acción que constantemente presenta el riesgo de basarse en presupuestos radicales y poco atentos a la realidad global: de hecho, se continúa a considerar al niño/a extranjero/a como un sujeto de por sí portador de un fuerte malestar, incluso como un sujeto que no necesita de alguna intervención específica. Entre las criticidades de mayor relevancia, existe el problema…
Migrant Families, Social Policies and Community Relations: Towards What (Kind Of) Integration?
2022
This article aims to present a few considerations regarding the phenomenon of migrant families’ integration processes, in the broader framework of the relationship between politics, policies and services. The stabilization of migrant people in Italy has determined, on the one hand, the growth of the family-based character of the immigrant population, in the face of which, institutions and reception services, in the wake of policy directives, have been called upon to remodel interventions and integration practices. On the other hand, the drastic reduction in political attention to the social, civil and economic integration of migrants and, in particular, of migrant families, linked to the di…
