The socio-ecology of zoonotic infections
2011
The resurgence of infectious diseases of zoonotic origin observed in recent years imposes a major morbidity/mortality burden worldwide, and also a major economic burden that extends beyond pure medical costs. The resurgence and epidemiology of zoonoses are complex and dynamic, being influenced by varying parameters that can roughly be categorized as human-related, pathogen-related, and climate/environment-related; however, there is significant interplay between these factors. Human-related factors include modern life trends such as ecotourism, increased exposure through hunting or pet owning, and culinary habits, industrialization sequelae such as farming/food chain intensification, globali…

Reglamentowana odwilż. Obóz „zamkowy” na emigracji wobec wydarzeń w Polsce i bloku komunistycznym w 1956 roku
2016
The article presents the position of “the Castle” on emigration (the President, government and the Council of the Republic of Poland) towards the events in Poland and the Eastern Bloc in 1956. The politicians and publicists of “the Castle”, observing some changes in the country, did not expect that they would lead to basic changes. The opinion prevailed that Poland was not an independent state and that the Soviet occupation still persisted. Propagating maximum demands (independence, restoration of the pre-war border in the east), they did not have much hope in an evolutionary course of changes. They opted for a deposition, and not a liberalisation of the communist system in Poland and the r…

Rimpatriati in terra straniera: Ragonese, Capretti, Samaritano e Costantini raccontano la "jaala"
2023
La “cacciata” degli italiani dalla Libia, nel 1970, coinvolse circa 20.000 persone che, nate in Libia, si sono ritrovate improvvisamente strappate dalla quotidianità e catapultati in un'Italia a loro assolutamente estranea e solo idealmente custode della loro cultura originaria. Questo lavoro presenta, a titolo esemplificativo, alcuni testi narrativi neocoloniali e neostorici di Rita Ragonese, Luciana Capretti, Andrea Amedeo Sammartano e Roberto Costantini che raccontano delle angosce, e del profondo senso di spaesamento sofferto da migliaia di italiani rimpatriati con la forza in una patria sconosciuta. The “expulsion” of the Italians from Libya, in 1970, involved about 20,000 people who, …
