Migrant women between opportunities and discrimination: the importance of an intersectional approach
No full textThis chapter reflects on the growing importance of adopting an intersectional
approach to the analysis of discrimination, particularly in reference to women
with a migrant background. This work stems from the GRASE - Gender and Race
Stereotypes Eradication in labour market access project funded under the European
REC program (Rights, Equality and Citizenship). Moving from the reflections emerged within the project, in this chapter we analyze the reasons behind the introduction of the concept of intersectionality (section 1), its diffusion in the context of European legislation and policy (section 2), and the possibility of using an intersectional approach in analyzing national and European data on the living conditions of migrant women (section 3)
Donne migranti tra opportunità e discriminazioni: la necessità di un approccio intersezionale
No full textIl presente capitolo propone una riflessione in merito alla crescente necessità
di adottare un approccio intersezionale nell’analisi dei fenomeni discriminatori, con particolare riferimento alle donne con background migratorio, partendo dal progetto GRASE – Gender and Race Stereotypes Eradication in labour
market access, finanziato nell’ambito del programma europeo REC - Rights,
Equality and Citizenship. Sulla base delle riflessioni che il progetto ha stimolato, in questo capitolo si analizzano le ragioni dell’introduzione del concetto di intersezionalità nel primo paragrafo, la sua diffusione nell’ambito della legislazione e delle politiche
europee nel secondo paragrafo e la possibilità di utilizzare questo approccio
nell’analisi dei dati sulla presenza e le condizioni di vita delle donne migranti
nei data base europei e nazionali nel terzo
“L’isola è un bell’organismo che si cura da sé”: percezioni e prospettive sulla salute dall’Isola del Giglio
No full textL’articolo si focalizza sull’analisi dei bisogni di salute percepiti dalla comunità in contesti di difficile accesso, quali le isole minori, argomento sempre più centrale nella ricerca scientifica e nell’agenda politica nazionale. Attraverso la descrizione dei risultati di un focus group tenutosi all’Isola del Giglio (Grosseto) nel mese di novembre 2018 con le principali istituzioni locali, si evidenziano le eventuali potenzialità e criticità del sistema salute dell’isola e i bisogni di salute e di assistenza così come percepiti dalla comunità. La metodologia qualitativa del community health needs assessment (valutazione dei bisogni di salute da parte della comunità) è utile per investigare percezioni e vissuti delle popolazioni di riferimento. I risultati fotografano una realtà isolana soddisfatta dei servizi legati alla salute presenti sull’isola, ma sottolineano, direttamente o indirettamente, altrettanti bisogni e fattori di rischio legati al contesto. In particolare, il tema del bisogno di potenziare le connessioni, e con esse il capitale sociale è il tema centrale della discussione. Il progetto di ottimizzazione dell’assistenza sanitaria nelle isole minori portato avanti dal Ministero della salute e dalle regioni interessate rappresenta un percorso fondamentale in questo senso

Potential role of microtubule stabilizing agents in neurodevelopmental disorders
No full textNeurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are characterized by neuroanatomical abnormalities indicative of corticogenesis disturbances. At the basis of NDDs cortical abnormalities, the principal developmental processes involved are cellular proliferation, migration and differentiation. NDDs are also considered “synaptic disorders” since accumulating evidence suggests that NDDs are developmental brain misconnection syndromes characterized by altered connectivity in local circuits and between brain regions. Microtubules and microtubule-associated proteins play a fundamental role in the regulation of basic neurodevelopmental processes, such as neuronal polarization and migration, neuronal branching and synaptogenesis. Here, the role of microtubule dynamics will be elucidated in regulating several neurodevelopmental steps. Furthermore, the correlation between abnormalities in microtubule dynamics and some NDDs will be described. Finally, we will discuss the potential use of microtubule stabilizing agents as a new pharmacological intervention for NDDs treatment
The influence of COVID-19 Mortality Rate Formats on Emotional Reactions, Risk perception, and self-protective Behavioral Intentions
No full textWe investigated whether different Mortality Rate Formats used to express the same objective probability affected people's Emotional reactions, Risk perception, and protective behavioral intentions. A sample from the Italian population (N = 604) was exposed to six different formats (i.e. Absolute value; Raw ratio; 1 in X; Verbal; Percentage; Probability) to report the mortality rate of COVID-19 in a between-subject design. In line with expectations, the Probability format led to lower emotional reactions compared to all the other formats. Moreover, results from a path analysis revealed that emotional reactions predicted risk perception. The Mortality Rate Formats also had an indirect effect on Behavioral Intentions to protect oneself, which was mediated by emotional reactions and risk perception. The effect sizes of these indirect effects ranged from small to medium. The direct effect of risk on intentions was found to differ among two dimensions of risk. Affective Risk led to higher Behavioral Intentions, while Deliberative Risk had the opposite effect. We discuss these results in line with the ongoing debate regarding the role played by risk scientists during the pandemic and offer practical implications for risk management during health crises like COVID-19
Surface deformation analysis in Northeast Italy by using PS-InSAR and GNSS data
No full textIn the present study, we exploited the potential of satellite-based geodetic data for detecting and measuring surface displacement in Northeast Italy. In this contest, we focused mainly on 1) the estimation of the interseismic deformation during the satellites’ observation period, 2) the detection and analysis of the main deformation patterns, and 3) the correlation of the signals to the active tectonic structures.
Despite the low convergence rates (~ 1.5-3 mm/yr), Northeast Italy is an active tectonic area, as testified by the instrumental and historical seismicity. The Adria-Eurasia convergence is mainly accommodated by the thrusts and strike-slip faults of the Southeastern Alps and the External Dinarides, located in the northern and northeastern sectors of the study area. The Venetian-Friulian plain and the Adriatic coasts, affected by active subsidence, dominate the southern region.
We used the Stanford Method for Persistent Scatterers (StaMPS) applied to Sentinel-1 SAR images acquired along the ascending and descending orbit tracks between 2015 and 2019. Based on a stack of single-master differential interferograms, we detected coherent and temporally stable pixels based on amplitude and phase noise analysis. After applying spatial-temporal filters and additional post-processing operations to refine the measurements, we used Adria-fixed GNSS velocities derived by permanent stations in the study area to calibrate the InSAR velocities.
The outcome consists of Line-OF-Sight (LOS) mean ground velocity maps derived by displacement time series along the radar directions for each satellite track. The combination of the LOS datasets yields vertical and east-west velocity maps, which are mostly in agreement with GNSS data and previous geodetic studies.
Based on our measurements, we observe a significant positive velocity gradient of 1 mm/yr across the westernmost sector of the Alpine system, suggesting an aseismic motion of the root of the Bassano-Valdobbiadene thrust.
The positive vertical gradients (~1 and up to 2 mm/yr) across the Alpine-Dinaric systems in the central and eastern sectors and the eastward motion that increases northeastward (1-2 mm/yr) may be related to the active Alpine-Dinaric thrusts and strike-slip faults. We also suggest that the detected westward motion of the Friulian plain (around Udine) might be attributed to the presence of tectonic structures characterized by transcurrent-transpressive kinematics. Finally, we detect other signals, such as the significant subsidence (2-4 mm/yr) along the coasts and on the southern Venetian-Friulian plain, confirming the correlation between subsidence and the geological setting of the study area.
In conclusion, our study confirms the potential of MT-InSAR and GNSS data for the estimation of the surface deformations in response to active tectonics, even in areas characterized by low deformation rates, such as Northeast Italy.In the present study, we exploited the potential of satellite-based geodetic data for detecting and measuring surface displacement in Northeast Italy.
