Architettura emergenziale: buone pratiche esecutive
2022
This paper provides a comparative overview of different types of (temporary) shelters that have recently been used in various field locations in response to a forced displacement due to disastrous events. In particular, possible strategies useful to increase the sustainability of the humanitarian response and reduce the carbon footprint, while ensuring the adequacy and suitability of the shelters themselves, are here explored. This study investigates a systematic design framework that is often constrained by many obstacles such as the limited availability of low-cost materials, and a lack of local labour experience. To reduce the negative impact of a disaster, especially in the developing c…

A method to enable the investigation of murine bronchial immune cells, their cytokines and mediators.
2007
Innovative therapies for severe lung diseases (such as allergic and chronic asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or any type of lung cancer) require a detailed understanding of the cellular and immune processes in the lung. This protocol details a method to obtain the immune cells of the bronchi as well as the cytokines and mediators produced by these cells for further investigation. The broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) is taken by injecting physiological solution through the tracheal tube into the murine airways and carefully regained by winding up the connected syringe. After centrifugation, the resulting BALF supernatant can be stored for detection of cytokines or other medi…

Cittadinizzazione e policy migratorie nella Sicilia occidentale : Progettare servizi innovativi rafforzando le Pubbliche Amministrazioni in attuazion…
2021
L’accesso ai servizi della pubblica amministrazione è spesso, per la popolazione migrante, un cercare la chiave giusta fra un numero spropositato di chiavistelli. Evidenziare come l’inserimento di alcuni servizi innovativi, fra i quali gli sportelli Mi.Main (Migration Mainstreaming) progettati e implementati da giovani laureati all’interno degli uffici della P.A., abbia di fatto favorito processi di “cittadinizzazione”, è stato lo scopo di questo volume. Preliminari ad ogni processo di inclusione sono infatti gli “atti di cittadinanza” che attraversano e ancorano l’universalità dei diritti umani al riconoscimento dei bisogni e delle priorità della persona. Questo volume, descrive come due t…
