Full textAbstract:
Il volume raccoglie le relazioni presentate nel corso della giornata di studio tenutasi a San Miniato il primo dicembre 2007, dedicata all'indagine storiografica e ad un bilancio della lunga ricerca archeologica condotte sul sito di San Genesio nel Valdarno inferiore, villaggio che ebbe continuità insediativa dall'Antichità al pieno Duecento e che venne definitivamente abbandonato a seguito di una violenta distruzione da parte degli abitanti della vicina San Miniato al Tedesco. La località è nota dalle fonti scritte per alcune assemblee e incontri politici ad alto livello ivi tenutisi fra XI e XII secolo, incontri destinati a svolgere un ruolo significativo nel più ampio contesto della Toscana comunale. L'abitato è stato riportato alla luce nel corso di una quasi decennale campagna di scavo che ha fornito risultati di grande rilievo, tali da farne un interessantissimo case-study. Il volume si pone come momento di confronto fra metodologia storica e archeologica ed ha l'ambizione di evidenziare la grande utilità della collaborazione interdisciplinare sul terreno di realtà campione particolarmente propizie. Nel contempo esso fornisce un primo quadro complessivo circa la storia di un centro abbandonato ma dal passato ricco ed eccezionalmente documentato, proponendo un punto di riferimento per altre analoghe indagini destinate a far luce sulle vicende politiche, sulle istituzioni eclcesiastiche e sulle dinamiche del popolamento nell'Italia medievale.

Full textAbstract:
L'attuale crisi finanziaria e la crisi monetaria dell'Unione Europea degli ultimi anni hanno condotto a una serie di studi analitici e altre pubblicazioni con un quadro di riferimento storico che, tuttavia, raramente va oltre il XIX e il XX secolo. Studi analoghi che si occupano di crisi finanziarie in tempi premoderni sono rari, tanto più quando si tratta di strategie di gestione delle crisi, delle conseguenze sociali e dello sfondo di queste crisi. Il volume si articola dunque intorno a questi temi principali: l’analisi delle crisi finanziarie, il ruolo dei (re)attori, la gestione delle crisi e il ruolo delle istituzioni. Sono qui presentati i risultati di ricerca del progetto bandito dalla Fondazione Istituto di Storia Economica “F. Datini” nel 2013 che si era posto come obiettivo, partendo da un approccio teorico sulle cause e i percorsi delle crisi finanziarie e le loro conseguenze economiche e sociali nel contesto dello sviluppo economico, quello di dimostrare o negare la significatività delle "teorie sulle crisi" del periodo pre-industriale. Se le conseguenze economiche delle crisi finanziarie sono ben note (i fallimenti delle imprese, le crisi commerciali e la depressione, le inadempienze e i crolli nelle reti dei pagamenti senza contanti, e la loro influenza sull’intero ciclo economico delle economie prese in considerazione), più sfumata risulta la visione del comportamento dell'individuo, o dell’intera società, che agisce economicamente in tempi di crisi finanziaria. Negli ultimi anni, il dibattito scientifico si è concentrato sulla questione di come agiscono o reagiscono gli homines oeconomici durante le crisi finanziarie. Dal punto di vista di casi studio del periodo pre-industriale, diventa chiaro che il ruolo dell'individuo è sostanzialmente più importante e grave sia per l’occorrenza della crisi sia per i tentativi di superarla, più di quanto appaia (ammesso che appaia) da ricerche precedenti. Infine, i contributi hanno indagato sulla gestione delle crisi in tempi di turbolenze finanziarie. L'analisi della gestione delle crisi in epoca pre-industriale può costituire infatti un essenziale passo avanti nella nostra comprensione della gestione della crisi attuale.

Full textAbstract:
Il volume raccoglie gli atti di due convegni organizzati nel 2016 e nel 2017 dall’Università Ca’ Foscari in collaborazione con l’Università degli Studi di Padova e con l’Associazione Italiana dei conservatori e restauratori degli archivi e delle biblioteche (AICRAB). Il ritorno allo Stato nel 2015 delle funzioni di tutela dei beni librari, in precedenza delegate dallo Stato medesimo alle Regioni, è stato il tema del primo convegno ed è il filo conduttore delle riflessioni raccolte nella prima parte del volume. Esse si concentrano sull’organizzazione delle nuove Soprintendenze archivistiche e bibliografiche e sulle criticità comportate dalla riforma istituzionale. Il restauro, la più complessa tra le attività di conservazione del patrimonio storico, eppure irrinunciabile laddove la degradazione ne precluda la fruizione e ne metta a rischio la trasmissione al futuro, è stato l’argomento del successivo convegno. Nella seconda parte del volume, i diversi contributi riflettono sulle radici storiche e sull’evoluzione delle prassi di restauro del patrimonio manoscritto; si presentano inoltre alcuni casi di intervento metodologicamente esemplificativi, ponendo infine l’accento sull’apporto, oggi irrinunciabile, offerto dalla ricerca scientifica per migliorare la qualità degli interventi.

Full textAbstract:
La religione è senza dubbio il fenomeno culturale più importante nella storia del mondo. Essa era onnipresente nella vita quotidiana medievale e della prima età moderna. In tutte le epoche e tutte le culture, essa è stata condizionata dall’economia; per altro verso ha esercitato una profonda influenza non solo sulle teorie, ma anche sulla pratica, le consuetudini, le norme, i consumi, gli strumenti e in genere sulla complessiva organizzazione economica. Gli stessi flussi migratori, che hanno prodotto effetti e trasformazioni significative nell’assetto economico europeo sono stati in molti casi collegati a problematiche di tipo religioso. Il volume che raccoglie gli atti della Settimana di Studi datiniana esplora attraverso 44 contributi scientifici questa relazione dinamica e complessa, che coinvolse le tre principali religioni europee: Cristianesimo, Giudaismo ed Islamismo, ma anche le esperienze particolari all’interno di ogni confessione. Esse infatti conobbero, in contesti diversi, diverse interpretazioni e divergenti espressioni dogmatiche e dottrinali, cui corrisposero significative differenze nella evoluzione degli strumenti e dei rapporti economici europei e del Mediterraneo, a partire dall’inizio del secondo millennio.

Full textAbstract:
The landmark paper discussed in this chapter describes a retrospective study examining the epidemiology of complex regional pain syndrome in the Dutch general population. The researchers accessed patient data by means of the Integrated Primary Care Information project, which provided a large representative sample of the general population inclusive of all ages. They found an incidence of 26.2 per 100,000 person-years from a source population of 190,902 people. In those patients diagnosed by a specialist, three contemporaneous diagnostic criteria were applied, one of which was that of the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP). The authors demonstrated that there were marked differences in the proportions of cases fulfilling different criteria and thus highlighted problems with case diagnosis. When the 1994 IASP criteria were strictly applied, the incidence was found to be 16.8 per 100,000 person-years.

Full textAbstract:
As the world battles with the triple problems of social, economic, and environmental challenges, it has become important to focus both policy and research efforts on these. Therefore, this study examines the effect of wealth inequality on CO2 emissions in five emerging economies: Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. The top decile of wealth share was used as a measure of wealth inequality, while CO2 emissions per capita were used as a measure of CO2 emissions. GDP per capita, population, and financial development (domestic credit to the private sector) were included as control variables. A balanced panel dataset of annual observations from 2000 to 2014 for these countries was used. Both fixed and random effects panel models were estimated, but the Hausman test favoured the use of the fixed effects model. The results based on the fixed effects panel regression model show that wealth inequality, GDP per capita, and population have positive effects on CO2 emissions, while financial development has a negative effect.

Full textAbstract:
Although the clinical benefits associated with hospital-based palliative care (PC) consultation teams are well established, few studies address the potential economic impact of these services. This study aimed to examine the effect of hospital-based PC teams on hospital costs for patients who died in the hospital, as well as for those discharged alive. Eight diverse hospital settings with established PC teams were chosen, and administrative data relating to direct costs (including laboratory, diagnostic imaging, pharmacy, and intensive care unit [ICU] costs) were analyzed. Propensity scoring was used to match PC patients with usual care (UC) patients. Of 2,630 PC patients who were discharged alive, net savings of $2,642 per admission were calculated, compared with 18,427 UC patients. For the 2,278 PC patients who died in the hospital, savings of $4,908 per admission were seen, when compared with 2,124 UC patients, confirming the additional economic benefits associated with hospital-based PC teams.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter describes a case of measles in a school child who contracted measles following travel to a high-risk area. The case resulted in a measles outbreak in the school and further cases in the community. Background information on the epidemiology and clinical features of measles and the public health response to a single case, an outbreak of measles in a school, and measles exposure in a healthcare setting are discussed. Case definitions risk assessment, identification of close contacts including priority groups and the required public health actions including post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) with Human Normal Immunoglobulin (HNIG) and/or MMR vaccine, are described in detail. ‘Top tips’ are given to provide practical tips for the reader to think through the public health management of the case study, and ‘tools of the trade’ list the laboratory and epidemiological components of the investigation. Finally, the chapter encourages exploration of other potential scenarios, including the possibility of measles transmission in a nursery.

Full textAbstract:
The chapter presents the case study and the research design. It presents India with its federal structure as a natural experiment to evaluate the political dynamics of labour market reform. It provides an overview of the labour market in India with its structural and institutional dimensions. This discussion is followed by the subnational comparative model where four states are selected on the basis of their institutional and economic similarities but perceptible variations in the labour market. A detailed analysis of regulations and operation of labour market is presented to substantiate the variations. The selection of the cases is based on the logic of most-alike cases, where Gujarat and Maharashtra represent high growth, high per capita, and high FDI states, while Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal are medium growth, moderate per capita, and moderate FDI states. The chapter concludes with discussion on the limitations of conventional explanations of reform variation and alternative political explanation of negotiated reform.

Full textAbstract:
There has been much debate about the role of parenteral hydration in the last weeks and days of life. In this important study, 129 patients with advanced cancer receiving hospice care with mild to moderate dehydration who were no longer able to maintain adequate fluid intake were randomized to receive parenteral hydration of either 1 L or 100 ml of normal saline per day subcutaneously. Parenteral hydration did not significantly improve the symptoms related to dehydration, the occurrence of delirium, fatigue, quality of life, and overall survival. At the end of the chapter, a clinical case leads readers to consider the common practice of parenteral hydration.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract 50 Studies Every Orthopaedic Surgeon Should Know is a compilation of landmark studies from all subspecialties within emergency and elective trauma and orthopaedic practice. It is written in an accessible way, appropriate for an array of practicing experts, allied healthcare professionals, and students with the goal of disseminating findings from high-quality studies that have led to standardized clinical guidelines for front-line clinicians and real-world gains for patients. Chapters focus on key findings, implications for practice, study funding sources and conflicts of interest, criticisms and limitations, and results from associated studies. Each chapter also concludes with a case study, offering readers the opportunity to conceptualize the key findings in practice. Like other books in the 50 Studies series, an objective selection criterion was conducted by an international consensus to identify the most influential landmark publications that took into account the citations per year, high levels of evidence, clinical studies and trials, and available references and guidelines. This book will simplify, consolidate, and reinforce the current literature of the most important research published into digestible, manageable, and reader-friendly content for trauma and orthopaedic surgeons, practicing clinicians, trainees, students, and those led by data-driven evidence-based clinical care. The general public and patients on the receiving end of clinical care may benefit from understanding the surgical decision-making backed by international evidence and professional guidelines.

Full textAbstract:
All five contemporary practitioners of the death penalty in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)—Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, and Vietnam—have performed executions on a regular basis over the past few decades. Amnesty International currently classifies each of these nations as death penalty ‘retentionists’. However, notwithstanding a common willingness to execute, the number of death sentences passed by courts that are reduced to a term of imprisonment, or where the prisoner is released from custody altogether, through grants of clemency by the executive branch of government varies remarkably among these neighbouring political allies. This book uncovers the patterns which explain why some countries in the region award commutations and pardons far more often than do others in death penalty cases. Over the period under analysis, from 1991 to 2016, the regional outliers were Thailand (with more than 95 per cent of condemned prisoners receiving clemency after exhausting judicial appeals) and Singapore (with less than 1 per cent of condemned prisoners receiving clemency). Malaysia, Indonesia, and Vietnam fall at various points in between these two extremes. This is the first academic study anywhere in the world to compare executive clemency across national borders using empirical methodology, the latter being a systematic collection of clemency data in multiple jurisdictions using archival and ‘elite’ interview sources. Last Chance for Life: Clemency in Southeast Asian Death Penalty Cases will prove an authoritative resource for legal practitioners, criminal justice policymakers, scholars, and activists throughout the ASEAN region and around the world.

Full textAbstract:
Correctional healthcare is funded through a range of mechanisms, reflecting many of the community fee-for-service and managed care parallels. Like community healthcare, utilization of healthcare in correctional settings is increasing. It is however, often under more significant budgetary constraints and tighter management. The funding of correctional healthcare is a complex enterprise, driven by constitutionally mandated care obligations on the one hand, and resource constraints on the other. Along with the dramatic increase in the incarcerated population during the past two decades, correctional healthcare has evolved as well. The costs of care are quite substantial, and the diversity of models of care delivery offer an administrative challenge, a financial challenge to the relevant jurisdiction, and a significant opportunity for cost effectiveness. Unfortunately, as of yet, no comparative study of funding models has been done. As integrated electronic health and financial records are gradually introduced into correctional settings, opportunities for such studies, and the policy guidance provided by those results, may yield important information applicable to health care cost and outcome management in society more broadly. This chapter includes a discussion of global capitation, per inmate costs, at-risk contracting, liability concerns, performance indicators, and a variety of contractual relationships.

Full textAbstract:
Using Philadelphia as a case study, this book examines numerous themes within policing, such as historical-cultural sentiment, the role of city officials in the exacerbation of abuse, federal litigation, and civil activism aimed at curbing police violence. While Philadelphia was one of the first cities to implement reforms spearheaded by the African American community, the Philadelphia police department (PPD) has successfully eluded every attempt at reform, largely by fortifying and insulating themselves from any form of oversight. The PPD has evolved into a politically autonomous entity; the city has subsequently relinquished control, evidenced in police immunity from court decrees, mayoral edicts, litigation, community outcry, and internal discipline. An analysis of the legal mechanisms, internal police structure, and external efforts to oversee police is essential for successful reform measures in Philadelphia and across America.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The United States authorizes dozens of bureaucracies to carry out foreign policy, often resulting in chaos and bureaucratic infighting. Rather than a centrally driven plan, I argue that this bureaucratic fragmentation is an unintended byproduct of the foreign policy-making process. Members of Congress, and the interests they represent, have diverse policy visions, leading them to seek allies within the bureaucracy to elevate their pet projects. In an attempt to build a compromise, leaders may dilute foreign policy authority to please as many legislators as possible. The fragmentation of congressional interests translates to fragmentation in the foreign policy bureaucracy. This book proposes two factors that lead to fragmentation: congressional interest and disunity. When a policy is salient, congressional leadership is motivated to push an agenda, supplying more pet projects in order to do so. Thus, congressional interest increases fragmentation. Additionally, when members of Congress disagree about policy, they demand a greater variety of pet projects. Therefore, congressional disunity also increases fragmentation. The five empirical chapters show how the combination of interest and disunity spurs Congress to fragment foreign policy. The first empirical chapters are purely quantitative, each measuring one of these two factors. The next three chapters complement the statistical analysis with a novel form of mixed-method case study. Each case focuses on an area of US foreign aid policy, considering congressional action and legislation. The case studies combine qualitative process-tracing with a quantitative analysis of legislative voting. I find that fragmentation is inherent in the policymaking process.

Full textAbstract:
The effective altruism movement consists of a growing global community of people who organize significant parts of their lives around two key ideas, represented in its name. Altruism: If we use a significant portion of the resources in our possession—whether money, time, or talents—with a view to helping others, we can improve the world considerably. Effectiveness: When we do put such resources to altruistic use, it is crucial to focus on how much good this or that intervention is reasonably expected to do per unit of resource expended (for example, per dollar donated). While global poverty is a widely used case study in introducing and motivating effective altruism, if the ultimate aim is to do the most good one can with the resources expended, it is far from obvious that global poverty alleviation is highest priority cause area. In addition to ranking possible poverty-alleviation interventions against one another, we can also try to rank interventions aimed at very different types of outcome against one another. This includes, for example, interventions focusing on animal welfare or future generations. The scale and organization of the effective altruism movement encourage careful dialogue on questions that have perhaps long been there, throwing them into new and sharper relief, and giving rise to previously unnoticed questions. In the present volume, the first of its kind, a group of internationally recognized philosophers, economists, and political theorists contribute in-depth explorations of issues that arise once one takes seriously the twin ideas of altruistic commitment and effectiveness.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter prepares the way for the purpose of the book, to use war as a case study for the claim that in major respects, thinking based on Darwin’s ideas—“Darwinism”—has from the first functioned as a form of secular religion, a variety of humanism. Although natural selection makes it very implausible to claim that there is an inevitable evolutionary progression up to humankind, this has not stopped Darwinians, from Darwin himself through to people like Edward O. Wilson today, seeing such progress and using this belief as a peg on which to hang social and moral views, in major respects alternatives to the social and moral views of Christianity. Often, as in the case of Julian Huxley, the intent to produce an alternative religion is made explicit. Rival views on the illicit use of seminal fluid are used as an illustration. For Christians, through self-abuse, it leads to degeneration. For Darwinians, through the failures of the sexually profligate, it leads to advance.

Full textAbstract:
Già a partire dal IX secolo gli enti ecclesiastici veneziani – come del resto le famiglie patrizie, legate ad essi da complessi rapporti – acquisirono beni fondiari in terraferma: il Padovano iniziò, quindi, a configurarsi come un’area di vitale importanza per la produzione e il rifornimento (attraverso il Brenta e altre vie d’acqua) di derrate agricole per la città lagunare. Fu in particolare nei secoli XII-XIV (quelli della crescita e della crisi, per Venezia come per Padova) che il fenomeno prese consistenza; ed è allora, soprattutto, che fu prodotta una documentazione molto ricca e varia. Monaci, monache, badesse, amministratori veneziani instaurarono relazioni strette, e dai mille risvolti, con la società rurale del territorio padovano (da Monselice a Bagnoli, da Piove di Sacco a Vigodarzere, da Teolo a Vigonza) ma anche con la città, ove acquisirono case e magazzini, e il suo ceto dirigente. La formazione e la secolare presenza di questo ‘contado invisibile’ di Venezia, già illustrate da molti studi, costituisce uno sfondo cruciale sul quale si imposta sino al Trecento il controverso, molto spesso apertamente conflittuale, rapporto di coesistenza tra Venezia e Padova conclusosi con la guerra di conquista del 1405 e l’inclusione della città antoniana nello stato da Terra.

Full textAbstract:
This study presents a comparative, case-study approach to analyzing the foreign policies of ruling Islamist parties in Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia.The book investigates whether democratically elected ruling Islamist parties apply their ideology to foreign policy and how their foreign policy approaches differ to that of non-Islamist parties. Taghreed Alsabeh provides in-depth analysis of the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) in Egypt, the Justice and Development Party (PJD) in Morocco, and the Ennahda Party in Tunisia, over a period of twelve years, and compares their foreign policy approaches and outcomes to those of their own internal non-Islamist counterparts. What emerges is a detailed picture of each country’s foreign policy trajectories through successive governments – both Islamist and non-Islamist rule – and clear sites of commonality as well as divergence. Alsabeh demonstrates that ultimately Islamist parties’ foreign policies have been ideologically constrained to a large degree by national contexts such as limited time in power, limited control of the government, and their relationships with other domestic political actors.

Full textAbstract:
We measure multidimensional poverty in India using National Sample Survey Organization data from 2014–15 to 2017–18. We use income, health, education, and standard of living to measure the multidimensional poverty index (MPI). The MPI headcount declined from 26.9 to 13.75 per cent over the study period. The all-India estimates indicate that 144 million people were lifted from poverty during this period. We include different health dimensions, factoring in insurance, institutional coverage, antenatal care, and chronic conditions. Income is the dominant instrument with the highest contribution to the MPI, followed by insurance. Cooking, sanitation, and education also have significant weights. The decline in deprivation is steeper in rural areas than urban areas. Our state-level estimates reveal that 20 states report less than 10 per cent headcount poverty, up from six states. COVID-19 may lead to reversals of these gains, with poverty rising to pre-2014–15 levels, rising more steeply in rural areas.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter continues the work of the previous chapter by examining a further case study. The example here focuses on an attempt to use scientific knowledge not merely as a launching pad for ontological theorizing but as a constraint on the forms such theorizing may take. It investigates an influential research program in recent philosophy of science concerning the ontology of fundamental physics in relation to the rather slippery notion of a subatomic “particle.” It is argued that different proposals, which have emerged to give content to this notion, exemplify a pattern of reasoning in which one is inevitably driven either to accept a contentious ontological primitive or to reject the ontological proposal under consideration. One plausible response to this dilemma is a differential application of realism and pragmatism to different descriptions of particles.

Full textAbstract:
Neoplastic and vascular disorders are reviewed. Lung cancer is the most common malignancy and cause of cancer death in both men and women worldwide. The incidence of new lung cancers has continued to decrease in men and increase in women. The risk factors include cigarette smoking, other carcinogens, cocarcinogens, radon exposure, arsenic, asbestos, coal dust, chromium, vinyl chloride, chloromethyl ether, and chronic lung injury. Genetic and nutritional factors have been implicated. Among vascular disorders, pulmonary embolism is most common. Pulmonary embolism (PE) is the cause of death in 5% to 15% of hospitalized patients who die in the United States. In a multicenter study of PE, the mortality rate at 3 months was 15% and important prognostic factors included age older than 70 years, cancer, congestive heart failure, COPD, systolic arterial hypotension, tachypnea, and right ventricular hypokinesis.

This book investigates various public aspects of the management, use, and control of social media by police agencies in Canada. This book aims to illustrate the process by which new information technology—namely, social media—and related changes in communication formats have affected the public face of policing and police work.Schneider argues that police use of social media has altered institutional public police practices in a manner that is consistent with the logic of social media platforms. Policing is changing to include new ways of conditioning the public, cultivating self-promotion, and expanding social control. While each case study presented here focuses on a different social media platform or format, his concern is less with the particular format per se, as these will undoubtedly change, and more with developing suitable analytical and methodological approaches to understanding contemporary policing practices on social media sites.

Full textAbstract:
L’archeologia dell’infanzia è un campo di ricerca molto attuale nel quadro internazionale degli studi dedicati all’antichità e negli anni più recenti ha visto una crescita considerevole anche grazie all’approccio interdisciplinare che arricchisce le indagini archeologiche di prospettive complementari, prime fra tutte quella dell’antropologia fisica e culturale. Il mondo infantile resta tuttavia molto difficile da analizzare per la scarsa visibilità che i bambini hanno in termini archeologici, a causa della fragilità dei resti ossei e della limitata evidenza sul piano sociale e culturale. Occorre allora adottare specifiche metodologie di indagine, capaci di fare emergere le tracce di una componente delle comunità antiche tanto significativa, quanto poco rappresentata a livello funerario. La attenta lettura contestuale dei dati riferibili ai bambini è il necessario presupposto per approdare a corrette ipotesi ricostruttive sulla percezione che ogni popolo aveva dell’infanzia. L’opera affronta il tema per la prima volta in modo sistematico e organico, mappando il fenomeno delle sepolture infantili nell’Italia del primo millennio a.C. Trenta saggi, scritti da circa sessanta studiosi, rendono questo volume la più aggiornata e completa raccolta di dati e di studi sull’archeologia dell’infanzia della penisola nell’età preromana. L’attenzione è rivolta non solo all’ambito sepolcrale, certamente il più ricco di informazioni, ma anche a quelli abitativo e santuariale molto meno noti, per ottenere un quadro conoscitivo il più possibile esteso e articolato. Dopo alcuni saggi che introducono alla riflessione teorica sviluppatasi attorno al tema, la prima parte dell’opera è dedicata ad un caso studio del mondo etrusco, oggetto di un recente progetto multidisciplinare; la seconda parte comprende numerosi contributi sull’Etruria, un territorio per il quale mancava finora una visione d’insieme su tutti i principali centri; la terza parte raccoglie saggi sulle popolazioni dell’Italia antica, offrendo uno straordinario sguardo sul mosaico di culture; infine un saggio finale, che delinea le coordinate culturali e antropologiche del fenomeno, valorizza la ricchezza e la complessità dell’opera. BIRTH costituisce il più completo strumento di conoscenza e di analisi del comportamento dei popoli dell’Italia antica nel trattamento funerario del bambino. Numerose appendici forniscono una dettagliata registrazione delle tombe infantili, base per ogni ricostruzione storica. L’opera è il primo passo di un percorso di studi destinato a proseguire, perché ancora molte sono le prospettive di indagine che l’archeologia dell’Italia preromana consente di sviluppare nell’ambito del più vivace dibattito scientifico internazionale sull’infanzia.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores innovation in the informal economy of small-town ‘mofussil’ India. Two-thirds of the urban population lives outside metropolitan cities in towns noted for their infrastructural backwardness. Ninety per cent of livelihoods and two-thirds of the economy, disproportionately in small-town India, are unregistered or unregulated and termed ‘informal’. It is the informal economy that drives growth and livelihoods. After reviewing innovation theories, a case study of the innovation activity of a small-town is developed through evidence from the presidents of the town’s many business associations. They supply an account of five types of innovation: invention, adaptive and adoptive innovation, incremental and disruptive innovation; innovation in products, process, services, contracts and information; and innovation by labour as well as capital. The chapter concludes that although innovations flourish, the intertwined and hybrid formal and informal institutions do not behave coherently enough to constitute an informal innovation system.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 41 discusses a kind of in vivo case study of the interactions between science and extra-scientific processes involved in the construction of nosological categories of psychiatry. The very first medical report on a cluster of symptoms, regularly affecting some women over their menstrual cycle, the so-called syndrome of premenstrual tension, appeared in 1931. The name changed with time to premenstrual syndrome, subsequently renamed as late luteal phase dysphoric disorder (LLPDD) and is currently known as premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). It was listed as a psychiatric disorder in the DSM-III, but was later moved to the section on the condition deserving further study (aka the “appendix”). In the DSM-5, PMDD returned to the main section of the manual devoted to depressive disorders as a diagnosis approved for routine clinical use. The PDD is an ideal-type condition to stimulate a controversy about its justification as a psychiatric disorder. By its nature it affects only females (here, feminist issues may arise); it is clearly linked to physiological rhythm (is it not a somatic issue?); does it exist as a distinct behavioral abnormality or is it just a variant of female experience?: does it need to be treated pharmacologically? (the issues of medicalization and “big pharma”). It provides a detailed narrative on the vicissitudes of this psychiatric nosological category, which is not only based on a careful study by interested outsiders but is crucially enriched by the insights of one of the participants of the very process of DSM construction.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract 50 Pharmacotherapy Studies Every Palliative Practitioner Should Know is a compilation of key pharmacotherapy studies that form the foundation of evidence-based practice. The studies cover topics including agitation and delirium, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain, anorexia and cachexia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, seizure, dyspnea, anxiety, pruritis, symptom clusters, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cancer, and more. It is written in an accessible way, with the goal of disseminating findings from high-quality studies that have led to standardized clinical guidelines for front-line clinicians and real-world gains for patients. Chapters focus on key findings, implications for practice, study funding sources and conflicts of interest, criticisms and limitations, and results from associated studies. Each chapter also concludes with a case study, offering readers the opportunity to conceptualize the key findings in practice. Like other books in the “50 Studies” series, an objective selection criterion was conducted by an international consensus to identify the most influential landmark publications that took into account the citations per year, high levels of evidence, clinical studies and trials, and available references and guidelines. This book will simplify, consolidate, and reinforce the current literature of the most important research published into digestible, manageable, and reader-friendly content for palliative practitioners, pharmacists, advance practice nurses, physician assistants, and anyone who wants to learn more about the data behind clinical practice.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter seeks to build on and extend the increasingly child-oriented perspective on prisoners’ children. It does so by focusing on the social exclusion experienced by this particular group of children, as social relationships are crucial to child well-being. The study is set in Denmark, where it is estimated that five to six per cent of every birth cohort experiences parental imprisonment during childhood and that the share of children facing this strain is similar to that of children taken into care or living in poverty. Thus, the chapter examines whether the child is socially excluded from important relationships in children’s lives, and less on the child’s encounter with the criminal justice system. This is done not only by adopting a child-centred perspective, but also by using children as informants in a survey from a representative sample of Danish children of prisoners.

Full textAbstract:
Losing the Thread is the first full-length study of the effect of the American Civil War on Britain’s raw cotton trade and on the Liverpool cotton market. It details the worst crisis in the British cotton trade in the 19th century. Before the civil war, America supplied 80 per cent of Britain’s cotton. In August 1861, this fell to almost zero, where it remained for four years. Despite increased supplies from elsewhere, Britain’s largest industry received only 36 per cent of the raw material it needed from 1862 to 1864. This book establishes the facts of Britain’s raw cotton supply during the war: how much there was of it, in absolute terms and in relation to the demand, where it came from and why, how much it cost, and what effect the reduced supply had on Britain’s cotton manufacture. It includes an enquiry into the causes of the Lancashire cotton famine, which contradicts the historical consensus on the subject. Examining the impact of the civil war on Liverpool and its cotton market, the book disputes the historic portrayal of Liverpool as a solidly pro-Confederate town. It also demonstrates how reckless speculation infested and distorted the raw cotton market, and lays bare the shadowy world of the Liverpool cotton brokers, who profited hugely from the war while the rest of Lancashire starved.

Full textAbstract:
Background This report responds to a need to update the available information about incompatible living-donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) previously published in 2014 which, based on 14 case series and 1 cohort study, concluded that this type of transplants could be a therapeutic option with survival, graft and patient outcomes, adequate and similar to a compatible living-donor kidney transplant, however, these report only included ABO-incompatible information. Objective The purpose of the report is to provide updated evidence on effectiveness and safety in terms of graft survival and survival of patients undergoing incompatible LDKT. Method To answer the question a systematic review of the literature was carried out, by updating the structured searches of the previous existing report. The selection of the references was carried out first by title and abstract. Next, the full-text papers were selected by applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, defined a priori, by a single researcher. In the same way, we proceeded to extract the data from the articles finally selected, and their synthesis in tables similar to those of the previous report, with special attention to the HLA incompatibility LDKT data, since no information was collected in the previous report. Results From 232 localized references, 35 papers on incompatible LDKT have finally been included, 16 with information on HLAi transplant patients and 19 with ABO incompatible transplant patients. In all cases, case series with or without a control group and a very limited number of patients were treated, only 1 study registered more than 1000 patients undergoing incompatible LDKT in 22 centers (Orandi et al. 2014) in the case of HLAi. The information on graft survival in patients undergoing HLA-incompatible LDKT at 1 year is between 90 % (Laftavi et al. 2011) and 100 % (Blumberg et al. 2013; Yamanaga et al. 2013), while the data recorded over five years survival were lower, from 69 % (Couzi et al. 2015) to 94.7 % (Jakson et al. 2015). The 1-year patient survival registered was found between 90.5 % by Sharif et al. 2014 and 100 % (Blumberg et al. 2013 and Laftavi et al. 2011). The 5-year patient survival recorded is in the range of 59.2 % (in one of the subgroups described by Orandi et al. ) when the other HLAi subgroup does offer similar figures to the rest of the studies, around 86 % survival and the 5-year value provided by Kim et al. which registered 95.8 %. In general, for LDKT with ABO incompatibility, the results of the previous review from 2012 are maintained, with a 1-year graft survival in ABOi-type living donor kidney transplants recorded in up to 8 of the 19 included studies and one 84 % minimum (Bachmann et al. 2018). For patient survival at 1 year, it is 100 % or very close in all the studies on ABOi and figures are high, but somewhat lower, for patient survival at five years (between 92 % of Melexopoulus et al. and 97.7 % from Subramanian et al.). Conclusions There is great variability in the information presented by the studies, so that it make difficult to group together. The quality of the evidence is very limited, as these are case series studies with a high risk of bias, many without a control group, and others with comparative cohort results (historical retrospectives). However, the results shown are consistent and the claims of the previous 2012 report are maintained. Graft survival and patient survival for patients undergoing HLA-incompatible LDKT are high and comparable to values offered by ABOi transplants and ABO compatible transplants. In the studies on LDKT with ABOi data, the results collected on both survival variables maintain the statements of the previous report, remaining at high values. A single localized study about economic efficiency aspects was carried out in the United States, the authors conclude that the LDKT can be an efficient option in terms of cost per QALY, although this conclusion is not directly transferable to our National Health System.

Suicide Mortality in the Americas. Regional Report 2010–2014. Pan American Health Organization, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.37774/9789275123300.
Full textAbstract:
Suicide is a serious public health problem surrounded by stigma, myths, and taboos. With an annual average of 81,746 suicide deaths in the period 2010–2014 and an age-adjusted suicide rate of 9.3 per 100,000 population (age-unadjusted rate of 9.6), suicide continues to be a public health problem of great relevance in the Region of the Americas. Contrary to common belief, suicides are preventable with timely, evidence-based, and often low-cost interventions. It is estimated that for each suicide that occurs, there are more than 20 attempts. Suicide can occur at any age and it is the third highest cause of death among young people between the ages of 20 and 24 in the Region of the Americas. This report corresponds to the five-year period between 2010 and 2014. It provides a general description of suicide mortality in the Americas, by subregions and countries. It analyzes the distribution of suicide according to age, sex, and methods used, along with the changes in suicide from 2010 to 2014. This report is limited to the study of mortality as, in most countries, no record of self-harm exists, due to lack of appropriate surveillance systems. In the period 2010–2014, 55.8% of suicide deaths in the Region occurred in North America. The age-adjusted suicide rate was also highest in North America (12.8 per 100,000 population), which along with the non-Hispanic Caribbean (9.8) was higher than the regional rate, while the other two subregions had rates lower than the regional rate (6.7 in Central America, the Hispanic Caribbean, and Mexico; 6.9 in South America). In Latin America and the Caribbean, it is essential that national suicide prevention programs be developed, especially in those countries with higher suicide rates. This report identifies 12 countries in the Region of the Americas with high suicide rates compared with the regional average and where two-thirds of the suicide deaths are concentrated. Strengthening information systems and surveillance of suicidal behavior is required. Improving mortality registries alone is not enough. It is also necessary to develop registries of suicidal behavior and implement follow-up mechanisms in high-risk cases. This report identifies the most frequent suicide methods. The availability of firearms is an important risk factor, particularly in North America. Access to pesticides in rural areas is another risk factor, especially in the non-Hispanic

Full textAbstract:
This document was inspired by the need to promote comprehensive actions in the management of water and sanitation services with a human rights focus within the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) related to drinking water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) in the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean; in addition, it ratifies the results reported in a PAHO study (2016) on the profound inequalities between urban and rural areas in access to water and sewage services, and the correlation with characteristics such as gender, age, income, education, among others. This report assumed this challenge using a methodology based on the Human Rights to Safe Drinking Water and Sanitation (HRWS) analytical framework. This report seeks to provide the most up-to-date overview of the SDG targets 6.1 and 6.2 situation in Latin America and the Caribbean. Besides outlining the general situation of countries, it presents some elements regarding human rights and the targets 6.1 and 6.2 that have been neglected in the initial monitoring of the 2030 Agenda, above all, the dimensions of inequality and affordability. This report presents four case studies, one per sub-regional block, with a more detailed characterization of the national and subnational situations of Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic. The results of this study show that a significant proportion of the Latin American and Caribbean population still lacks adequate access to water and sanitation services. Only 65% of the population has access to safely managed water services, a percentage lower than that reported worldwide, which is 71%. With regard to safely managed sanitation services, the situation is even more critical, with an access level of 39% worldwide being reported, compared to 22% in our Region.

Full textAbstract:
“Maybe you won't like steel band. It's possible. But it's been said that the Pied Piper had a steel band helping him on his famous visit to Hamelin.” When the US Navy distributed this press release, anxieties and tensions of the impending Cold War felt palpable. As President Eisenhower cast his gaze toward Russia, the American people cast their ears to the Atlantic South, infatuated with the international currents of Caribbean music. Today, steel bands have become a global phenomenon; yet, in 1957 the exotic sound and the unique image of the US Navy Steel Band was one-of-a-kind. From 1957 until their disbandment in 1999, the US Navy Steel Band performed over 20,000 concerts worldwide. In 1973, the band officially moved headquarters from Puerto Rico to New Orleans and found the city and annual Mardi Gras tradition an apt musical and cultural fit. The band brought a significant piece of Caribbean artistic capital—calypso and steelband music—to the American mainstream. Its impact on the growth and development of steelpan music in America is enormous. This book uncovers the lost history of the US Navy Steel Band and provides an in-depth study of its role in the development of the US military's public relations, its promotion of goodwill, its recruitment efforts after the Korean and Vietnam wars, its musical and technological innovations, and its percussive propulsion of the American fascination with Latin and Caribbean music over the past century.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The sundial in the shape of a prosciutto recovered in 1755 in the Villa dei Papiri in Herculaneum is the earliest known Roman portable sundial. Its silver-plated cast bronze form cleverly combines an accurate modelling of a prosciutto with a relatively sophisticated scientific device capable of capturing the seasonal hours of the zodiacal year by employing the pig’s tail to cast the sun’s shadow onto the dial. The prosciutto has proved easier to describe than to explain, a trait that has shadowed the many attempts to explain how it functioned compounded by limited first-hand knowledge of its design. Although the Bourbon court sought to assert its authority through a detailed philological and astronomical assessment, the proverbial pig already had escaped the pen. Earlier errors were recycled by leading figures in eighteenth- and nineteenth -century astronomy and these colored subsequent treatments of it. It is a rare example of an antiquity that has attracted the attention of so broad an audience, from archaeologists, historians, and philologists to astronomers, philosophers, and sundial aficionados. This study draws on contemporary correspondence, popular accounts, archaeological studies, and scientific assessments to offer the first comprehensive survey of its reception and analysis from its discovery to modern times. The significance of its discovery in the Villa dei Papiri is explored here in detail for the first time. Through the findings obtained using a 3D model, it offers the first empirical analysis of its remarkably accurate capabilities as a timepiece since its assessment by the Bourbon court.

Full textAbstract:
This handbook investigates ‘member-owned’ organizations, whether consumer co-operatives, agricultural and producer co-operatives, worker co-operatives, mutual building societies, friendly societies, credit unions, solidarity organizations, mutual insurance companies, or employee-owned companies. Such organizations can be owned by the consumers, producers, or employees—whether through single-stakeholder or multi-stakeholder ownership. ‘Employee-owned’ business means businesses where a significant proportion of the company is owned by its employees, whether as individual shareholders or through a trust, or some combination of the two; ‘significant’ is generally taken as at least 25 per cent. This complex set of organizations is named differently across countries: from ‘mutuals’ in the United Kingdom, to ‘solidarity co-operatives’ in Latin America. In some countries, such organizations are not officially recognized. For the sake of clarity, the handbook will refer to member-owned organizations to encompass the variety of non-investor-owned organizations, and in the national case-study chapters the terms used will be those most widely employed in that country. These alternative corporate forms have emerged in a variety of economic sectors in almost all advanced economies since the time of the Industrial Revolution and the development of capitalism, through the subsequent creation and dominance of the limited liability company. Until recently, these organizations were generally regarded as a rather marginal component of the economy. However, in recent years, they have come to be seen in some countries as potentially attractive in light of their ability to tackle various economic and social concerns, and their relative resilience during the financial and economic crises of 2007–2016.

Full textAbstract:
La tematica del consenso dell’avente diritto viene affrontata con particolare riferimento al fondamento, alla collocazione sistematica e ai limiti di efficacia di questo istituto, attraverso un percorso che coinvolge profili di diritto costituzionale, di filosofia morale e di criminologia, oltre, che, naturalmente, più prettamente penalistici. Il riconoscimento di una rilevanza alla volontà della vittima nell’ambito dell’ordinamento penale non è un dato di immediata evidenza, essendo il diritto penale ramo del diritto pubblico caratterizzato da un rapporto di subordinazione del singolo allo Stato; ciononostante il consenso ha sempre avuto un ruolo nella determinazione della responsabilità penale. Negli attuali ordinamenti democratici, soprattutto con l’entrata in vigore delle Costituzioni repubblicane, si riscontra una tendenza ad una sempre maggiore valorizzazione della libertà di autodeterminazione del soggetto in relazione alla gestione dei propri beni e/o diritti. Affrontare la questione del fondamento del consenso dell’avente diritto e della sua efficacia nell’ambito del diritto penale significa interrogarsi sul fondamento e sui limiti del diritto di autodeterminazione, essenza del consenso stesso. Poter individuare un fondamento costituzionale del diritto di autodeterminazione significa, oggi, garantire la massima estensione al consenso dell’avente diritto. È in questa ottica che si snoda il percorso di approfondimento seguito dall’autrice, al fine di ampliare l’alveo dei diritti disponibili, con un rifiuto netto del principio del c.d. paternalismo (forte) quale criterio di legittimazione dell’intervento penale e negazione, dunque, della legittimità di una tutela (penale) dell’individuo "da se stesso". Silvia Tordini Cagli è attualmente ricercatore di Diritto penale presso la Facoltà di Giurisprudenza dell’Università degli Studi di Bologna. È altresì titolare dell’insegnamento di Diritto penale generale e del lavoro nell’ambito del corso di laurea per Consulente del lavoro.

Bannerman, Gordon. Political Science at the LSE: A History of the Department of Government, from the Webbs to COVID. Edited by Cheryl Schonhardt-Bailey. Ubiquity Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.5334/bcn.
Full textAbstract:
This monograph traces the emergence and evolution of the LSE Government Department from 1895 to 2020, focusing on the personalities that guided the development of the Department, the social and political contexts the Department existed within, its research agenda and course structure, and the location of the Department in British politics. It also charts the evolution of the discipline of political science in Britain itself. The volume is divided chronologically into four chapters, each covering roughly similar time periods in the Departments’ history and focused on the events that shaped it: personalities, events, and location. Key themes are the development of political science in Britain, the impact of location on the LSE Government Department, the professionalisation of academia in Britain, and the microcosm the Department presents of British political life during each time period. The conflicts between progressive and conservative forces is a recurring theme which helps to link the internal dynamics of theDepartment with the wider social and political contexts that occurred from the beginning of the School to its 125th anniversary. The volume uses detailed archival research, particularly in the early chapters, as well as over thirty interviews with a range of individual with unique perspectives on the Department. These include current and former faculty and students (ranging from academics such as Christopher Hood and Tony Travers to graduates who have subsequently become politicians, such as Anneliese Dodds, Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer), as well as others with strong links to the Department, such as Meghnad Desai, Baron Desai and Andrew Bailey, Bank of England Governor. This monograph offers a wealth of insights on the history of political science not only at the LSE, but in British academia more broadly. It speaks to a wide historical and social science audience concerned with Fabian and socialist history, the history of politics and education, and the development of British political science. Of course, it will also appeal to more immediate audiences, such as prospective and current students, alumni and others throughout the wider LSE community. As a history of the LSE, as well as of the development of British higher education, it serves as both a specific case study and a general representative of wider trends within universities during the twentieth century. A unique feature of this monograph is that it represents the collective efforts of students from the LSE Government Department (including undergraduate, MSc and PhD), who worked under the leadership of Dr Gordon Bannerman (British Historian) and Professor Cheryl Schonhardt-Bailey (Head of Government Department). This unusual collaboration has enabled a richer array of perspectives on the history of the Department, but has also brought the monograph to life with personal ties to the Department itself.
