    Early prediction of SARS-CoV-2 reproductive number from environmental, atmospheric and mobility data: A supervised machine learning approach

    No full text
    Introduction: SARS-CoV-2 was declared a pandemic by the WHO on March 11th, 2020. Public protective measures were enforced in every country to limit the diffusion of SARS-CoV-2. Its transmission, mainly by droplets, has been measured by the effective reproduction number (Rt) that counts the number of secondary cases caused in a population by an average infectious individual at time t. Current strategies to calculate Rt reflect the number of secondary cases after several days, due to a delay from symptoms onset to reporting. We propose a complementary Rt estimation using supervised machine learning techniques to predict short term variations with more timely results. Material and methods: Our primary goal was to predict Rt of the current day in the twelve provinces of Lombardy with the highest possible accuracy, and with no influence of the local testing strategies. We gathered data about mobility, weather, and pollution from different public sources as a proxy of human behavior and public health measures. We built four supervised machine learning algorithms with different strategies: the outcome variable was the daily median Rt values per province obtained from officially adopted algorithms. Results: Data from 243 days for every province were presented to our four models (from February 15th, 2020, to October 14th, 2020). Two models using differential calculation of Rt instead of the raw values showed the highest mean coefficient of determination (0.93 for both) and residuals reported the lowest mean error (-0.03 and 0.01) and standard deviation (0.13 for both) as well. The one with access to the value of Rt of the day before heavily relied on that feature for prediction, while the other one had more distributed weights. Discussion: The model that had not access to the Rt value of the previous day and used Rt differential value as outcome (FDRt) was considered the most robust according to the metrics. Its forecasts were able to predict the trend that Rt values would have developed over different weeks, but it was not particularly accurate in predicting the precise value of Rt. A correlation among mobility, atmospheric, features, pollution and Rt values is plausible, but further testing should be performed

    2015-2018 Regional Prevention Plan of Lombardy (Northern Italy) and sedentary prevention: a cross-sectional strategy to develop evidence-based programmes

    Cross-sector, life-course, and setting approaches are identified in the 2015-2018 Regional Prevention Plan (PRP) of Lombardy Region (Northern Italy) as valuable strategies to ensure the efficacy and sustainable prevention of the non-communicable disease (NCDs). The involvement of non-health sectors in health promotion activities represents a suitable strategy to affect on social, economic, and political determinants and to change environmental factors that could cause NCDs. A dialogue among communities, urban planning, and prevention know-how is a prerequisite to develop a system of policies suitable to promote healthy lifestyle in general and, specifically, active lifestyles. The 2015-2018 Lombardy PRP pursues its aims of health promotion and behavioural risk factors for NCDs prevention through programmes that implement their own setting networks (Health Promoting Schools – SPS; Workplace Health Promotion – WHP) and develop new networks. Sedentary lifestyle prevention and active lifestyle promotion are performed through the approach promoted by the Healthy Cities Programme (WHO), encouraging two main processes: 1. creating integrated capacity-building among health and social prevention services, academic research, and local stakeholders on different urban planning and design issues; 2. promoting community empowerment through active citizens participation. Through this process, Lombardy Region aims to orient its services developing evidence-based programmes and enhancing advocacy and mediating capacity skills in order to create a profitable partnership with non-health sectors. This paper reports the main impact data: 26,000 children that reach school by foot thanks to walking buses, 57% of 145 companies joining WHP are involved in promoting physical activity, 18,891 citizens who attend local walking groups

    The article aims to make an analysis of the main aspects of the thought of Danilo Zolo, who turned 80 in January 2016. Initially, we examine the epistemological foundations of the legal realism proposed by Zolo. Then we deal with the significance of this realism for a possible theory of democracy. Finally, we analyze the contributions of that author to the philosophy of international law, which made him one of the leading thinkers in this area in recent decades.Keywords: philosophy of law, political philosophy, legal realism.O artigo se propõe a fazer uma análise de aspectos centrais do pensamento do jusfilósofo Danilo Zolo, que completou 80 anos em janeiro de 2016.

    La prospettiva pluralistica e multiculturale in Danilo Zolo

    No full text
    This essay takes into consideration the pluralistic perspective in Danilo Zolo’s thought, dealing with the way in which the multiculturalist theme is situated in the legal-philosophical reflection of the author. In this regard, the article underlines a pioneering attention to multiculturalism as a theoretical approach inextricably linked to the political and legal dimension. The analysis will focus on the connection between the multiculturalist instance and Zolo’s substantive approach on citizenship, in the context of a discourse on the concept of national belonging. Finally, within a brief dialogue with Danilo Zolo starting from the Canadian experience, the paper aims to highlight the difference between an analytical and interpretative horizon focused on the crisis of the monistic Nation-State and a radical disarticulation of national citizenship

    Pisanie Ojca. „Gen schulzowski” w prozie Danilo Kiša

    No full text
    Danilo Kiš claimed that his favorite works of other writers not only contributed to his own books as their “ancestors,” but also became parts of his spiritual DNA. The author makes an attempt at finding the “Schulzean gene” in The Family Circus and reveal the invisible presence of Schulz in other works by Kiš. Schulz has not been mentioned there, but he remains “present through his absence,” just like Kiš’s father, the protagonist of Hourglass, called “a novel about absence.

    Early Christian Bird-shaped Fibulae in the Light of Unpublished Finds from Danilo and Podumci

    Autor analizira dvije neobjavljene pticolike fibule koje je pronašao Dane Maretić na širem području šibenskog zaleđa, točnije na položajima Danilo – Gradina i Podumci – Maretića umac. Fibula iz Danila čuva se u muzejskoj zbirci samostana na Visovcu, dok je ona iz Podumaca u posjedu nalaznika. Fibule su izrađene od bronce u punoj plastici te prikazuju ptice sklopljenih krila. U radu su ukratko opisane i plošne fibule jer autor smatra da pripadaju istom kulturnom i vremenskom horizontu. Donosi se mišljenje da plastično rađene fibule predstavljaju goluba ili grlicu, što se povezuje s kršćanskom simbolikom. S obzirom na činjenicu da su analizirane fibule pronađene zajedno s germanskim nalazima, te na temelju usporednih primjeraka sa šireg prostora Europe, autor fibule iz Podumaca i Danila datira u razdoblje 5. ili 6. st.The author analyzes two unpublished bird-shaped fibulae found by Dane Maretić in the wider area of the Šibenik hinterland, more precisely on the sites of Danilo – Gradina (Hillfort) and Podumci – Maretića umac. The fibula from Danilo is kept in the Museum Collection of the Monastery on Visovac, while the one from Podumci is in the possession of the finder. The fibulae are made of bronze in full sculpture and they depict birds with folded wings. The plate fibulae are also briefly described in the work as the author believes that they belong to the same cultural and chronological horizon. The opinion is put forward that the plastically rendered fibulae depict a pigeon or a turtle-dove, which is connected with Christian symbolism. Considering the fact that the analyzed fibulae were found together with Germanic finds, and based on comparative pieces from the wider territory of Europe, the author dates the fibulae from Podumci and Danilo to the period of the 5th or 6th cent. A.D
