Epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19 cases in non-Italian nationals in Sicily: identifying vulnerable groups in the context of the COVID-19 pa…
2022
As in other parts of the world, undocumented migrants in Italy suffer worse health status due to their immigration enforcement situation and other vulnerabilities such as precarious illegal jobs, exploitation and abuse or barriers to higher education, with higher prevalence of chronic noncommunicable diseases. The COVID-19 pandemic, as other pandemics, has not affected everyone equally. The undocumented was one of the most affected groups with regard to hospitalization rates and mortality worldwide. Sicily is one of the gates of entrance to Europe for migrants and asylum seekers from Africa and Asia. Herein, we described the epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19 cases in Sicily to com…
Italy’s North-South Divide Yet Again: Some New Evidence from Firms, Sectors and Territories
2021
The recent literature on the North-South divide in Italy has refuted a homogeneous reading and treatment of the “Southern question” and has recalled the importance of deep intra-South disparities. This paper contributes to this line of research, offering some descriptions of intra-South disparities. We first make use of data at the firm level pertaining to the manufacturing sector between 2008 and 2019 to show how productive units differ within each macro-area according to their main balance-sheet indicators and to technical efficiency, both in terms of their average and variability. Secondly, we use different data available at the provincial level to assess the territorial disparities exis…

The burden of injury in Central, Eastern, and Western European sub-region: a systematic analysis from the Global Burden of Disease 2019 Study
2022
Abstract Background Injury remains a major concern to public health in the European region. Previous iterations of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study showed wide variation in injury death and disability adjusted life year (DALY) rates across Europe, indicating injury inequality gaps between sub-regions and countries. The objectives of this study were to: 1) compare GBD 2019 estimates on injury mortality and DALYs across European sub-regions and countries by cause-of-injury category and sex; 2) examine changes in injury DALY rates over a 20 year-period by cause-of-injury category, sub-region and country; and 3) assess inequalities in injury mortality and DALY rates across the countries…
Breast cancer screening : socioeconomic factors influencing the participation and screening round adequacy
2013
Mammography screening allowed breast tumors detection in early stage while treatments are less aggressive. Despite the fact that organized mammography screening has been free of charge for the target population since 2004 in France, the participation rate to the programme remains low.The aim of the studies was to investigate individual and area-level socioeconomic factors explaining low breast cancer screening attendance, individual factors influencing mammography screening round adequacy and to assess the evidence of screening round adequacy in the discovery of breast tumors.The results showed that women living in most deprived areas or rural areas, those covered by self-employed insurance…
Nuove qualità degli spazi ospedalieri
2008
The social transformations and the technological progress in sanitary field have considerably modified the hospital conception. The hospital becomes space in which the individual is revalued and placed at the centre of the design process. From a neutral envelope, aseptic and marginalizing, the hospital space therefore becomes relationship and meeting space. Factors not easily valuable contribute to defining the quality of the space in terms of humanization. An essential role assumes the hospital environment, which should not only be complied with the treatment, but must directly involve the patient, integrating him into the hospital life. The attention towards the "affective" charge of user…

On the critical curve for systems of hyperbolic inequalities in an exterior domain of the half-space
2023
We establish blow-up results for a system of semilinear hyperbolic inequalities in an exterior domain of the half-space. The considered system is investigated under an inhomogeneous Dirichlet-type boundary condition depending on both time and space variables. In certain cases, an optimal criterium of Fujita-type is derived. Our results yield naturally sharp nonexistence criteria for the corresponding stationary wave system and equation.
Mediterraneità e violenza di prossimità
2016
L’emersione di un fenomeno che solo apparentemente è in crescita, e che collide (si scontra) con una più generale emancipazione femminile, induce l'autrice a riflettere sulla inadeguatezza del considerare la “gender violence” come una variabile deviante dell’agire, e su come essa sia di fatto da ritenersi una vera e propria pratica “normalizzata” e istituente talune relazioni di coppia. Indicata da Ignazia Bartholini come "violenza prossimale" all'interno del saggio, per sottolinearne il carattere intimo e fiduciario che la contraddistingue, essa non viene descritta solo nei suoi effetti procedurali, ma analizzata nei suoi aspetti culturalmente radicati di "shame and honour" nell'area medit…
