SociApi: Sviluppo di attività apistiche finalizzate all’inclusione sociale di fasce deboli e giovani
No full textNell’ambito dell’Agricoltura Sociale, la costituenda ATS SOCIAPI, un partenariato con soggetti pubblici e/o privati, intende erogare servizi alla collettività attraverso il coinvolgimento di fasce deboli (reinserimento sociale e lavorativo di detenuti ed ex detenuti affidati alla cooperativa sociale G. Siani), nonché di giovani alla ricerca del primo impiego (giovani disoccupati, selezionati tra gli studenti che frequentano il corso di Apicoltura presso il Dipartimento di agraria). Dopo un primo periodo di coinvolgimento e addestramento alla gestione dell’alveare e alla produzione del miele, i soggetti con la migliore propensione saranno coinvolti nella produzione della pappa reale, una produzione che necessita maggiore meticolosità operativa.
L’iniziativa è volta a creare i presupposti per nuova occupazione nelle imprese agricole e per la realizzazione di una fattoria sociale da parte della Cooperativa Sociale Giancarlo Siani, che a tal fine ha già pianificato la sua realizzazione ed è in attesa di assegnazione di un fondo confiscato alla camorra

L'impresa come organismo
No full textTwo main interpretive insights lie at the heart of this research on the oil and energy company ERG, based on a vast original inquiry in unpublished records comprising family papers, company materials, business records from other companies and institutions (prominent among them British Petroleum International Ltd. and Banca Commerciale Italiana), as well as over two dozen interviews to the protagonists of this story. First, the one adopted here is essentially a view from above. It focuses on the entrepreneurial and managerial levels of the company, but also encompassing the broader economic, political, and social world in which ERG has operated and still operates. Second, there is a strong emphasis on the cultural aspects of the history of the firm, namely the strategic ideas, the values widely shared within the company and underpinning its day-by-day operations, and the image projected by ERG while addressing its customers, the consumers, and the society at large

Harold Lasswell, the "problem of World Order," and the Historic Mission of the American Middle Class
No full textThe author examines the work of distinguished social scientist Harold Lasswell, who from the late 1930s to the early 1950s developed an original interpretation of American public life, political institutions, societal relations, and the middle class-the alleged backbone of its democracy-in light of the global conflicts between liberalism, fascism, and bolshevism and the binary partition of the world that characterized the Cold War year

Patti 36, Aci S. Antonio, Catania, ItalyEmail [email protected]: To evaluate the short-term anti-inflammatory effect of dexamethasone/netilmicin fixed combination in the management of ocular inflammation after cataract surgery.Patients and Methods: Open-label, randomized, active-controlled, clinical study conducted in 6 sites in Italy; 238 patients were randomized 2:1 to dexamethasone/netilmicin (dexa/net, n=158) or betamethasone/chloramphenicol (beta/chl, n=80). Treatment started the day of surgery and continued 4 times daily for 7 days. The primary efficacy parameter was the anterior chamber (AC) flare. The percentage of patients displaying none or mild (ie, only barely detectable) AC flare was defined as “efficacy rate”, whereas the percentage of patients showing a decrease of AC flare score from baseline was defined as “percentage of responders”. Additional parameters evaluated were AC cells, conjunctival hyperaemia, corneal and lid oedema, symptoms of ocular discomfort, visual acuity, and intraocular pressure. Dexa/net was considered effective if the efficacy rate was not inferior (by means of 97.5% confidence interval) to that of beta/chl.Results: After 7 days of treatment, no AC flare was observed in 92.8% (dexa/net) and 92.3% (beta/chl) of patients, whereas no AC cells were observed in 91.5% (dexa/net) and 93.6% (beta/chl) of patients, respectively. The “efficacy rate” was 100% in both groups, whereas the “percentage of responders” was 94.1% in the dexa/net and 93.6% in the beta/chl group. The p-value to reject the null hypothesis of inferiority was < 0.001. Other efficacy parameters confirmed both treatments as highly effective, despite their difference in steroid content (2 mg/mL for beta/chl vs 1 mg/mL for dexa/net). IOP and visual acuity at the end of the study were comparable. Two cases of allergic conjunctivitis were considered adverse events and were both related to dexa/net.Conclusion: Short-term use of dexa/net fixed combination is safe and effective in the control of post-operative inflammation following uncomplicated cataract surgery.Keywords: cataract surgery, fixed combination, netilmicin, chloramphenico
