La protezione della salute pubblica nella prospettiva della One Health: il caso della West Nile Disease
No full textThe article analyses the organisational and regulatory processes related to public health protection activities by exploring the relationship between production and implementation of legislation and scientific instances in a specific case study, i.e. the West Nile Virus integrated surveillance in Northern Italy, according to One Health’s perspectives. Because of its scientific root, in this field rules consist of elements of both a technical and a political nature. According to the results of the focus-group research in three Italian regions, the authors suggest the need of more investigation on the organizational and regulatory integration processes. As the One Health-oriented perspective states, trans-disciplinary and trans-sectorial collaboration, including integration between different actors, knowledge, norms and policy objectives, is nec-essary for the collective protection. Empirical evidence shows how such integration is achieved through the construction of "communities of practice", which share many characteristics of the semi-autonomous social fields identified by Moore
Les droits des enfants en milieu hospitalier Un équilibre délicat entre protection et participation aux décisions
No full textThe subject of the right to health for children and adolescents could be approached from different perspectives, either disciplinary (psychological, sociological, legal, pediatric, etc.), or in consideration of the contexts in which the health problems of children manifest themselves. This contribution focuses its attention on the condition of children and young people in hospital, to underline some questions which concern the therapeutic choices which concern minors. To explore the topic, we use the perspective of sociology of childhood and the legal perspective. In particular, we present some questions on promotion of the rights to health and care of children and teen and their participation in therapeutic relationships. In addition, we focus on the category of agency, and we analyze the listening to children as a moment in which children and adolescents participation can come real, above all in the context of the hospital. The Italian legal field, finally, is chosen as a paradigmatic example of “paternalism” way that can still be present in legal culture on minor.Le sujet du droit à la santé des enfants et des adolescents peut être abordé à partir des différentes perspectives disciplinaires (psychologique, sociologique, juridique, pédiatrique, etc.) et en tenant compte des contextes dans lesquels les problèmes de santé des enfants se manifestent. Cette contribution met l’accent sur la condition des enfants et des jeunes à l’hôpital et veut souligner certaines questions qui concernent les choix thérapeutiques des mineurs. Pour explorer le sujet en question, nous utilisons les perspectives de la sociologie de l’enfance et la perspective juridique. Nous présentons notamment quelques questions sur la promotion des droits à la santé et aux soins des enfants et des adolescents et leur participation aux relations thérapeutiques. De plus, nous nous concentrons sur la catégorie d’agency, et nous analysons l’écoute des enfants comme un moment où la participation des enfants et des adolescents peut devenir réelle, surtout dans le contexte de l’hôpital. Enfin, le domaine juridique italien est choisi comme un exemple paradigmatique de « paternalisme » qui peut encore être présent dans la culture juridique sur le mineur
Giving Meaning to Action and Research: Notes on the ‘One Health’ Approach from a Sociological Perspective
No full textThe One Health (OH) approach emphasizes the need to tackle the challenges of human, animal and ecosystem health using a more integrated approach. Since the mid-2000s and even more since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, public health
scholars and policymakers have been paying an increasing attention to the One Health approach. The authors retrace the different reconstructions on the origins and meanings of the One Health approach also by referring to a case study jointly
conducted by sociologists and veterinary epidemiologists in the context of dairy cattle farms located in the provinces of Turin and Cuneo. According to Beck (1992), in risk societies, the division of labour between science, politics and economics breaks
apart and must be renegotiated. Moreover, according to Pierre Bourdieu, One Health is understandable, in sociological terms, as a social field, that is arenas where actors’ relations stem from the different positions in the field and from their different
dispositions (habitus). Dominant groups are also recognizable. In this perspective OH takes shape as a peculiar form of real (or possible) utopia: that of using the network of connections by which we grasp the risks to formulate an integrated strategy
able at promoting health from a global and systemic standpoint and preventing the potential for irreversible destruction
Crisi della fiducia, diritto e disuguaglianze nella protezione della salute pubblica: effetti di un paradosso
No full textINTERGENERATIONAL JUSTICE AS INTERGENERATIONAL INCLUSION: new challenges for welfare systems
No full textIl principio di giustizia intergenerazionale è molto diffuso nel settore dell'ecologia, ma sta diventando meno inusuale considerarlo anche in altri ambiti. A partire dalla crisi economica del 2008 sono notevolmente aumentate la disuguaglianze all'interno e tra le generazioni. In diversi paesi dell'UE, il numero di NEET è aumentato drasticamente dopo la recessione. Muovendo dal caso italiano, il paper si sofferma sulle politiche recentemente messe in atto per affrontare il problema. L'evidenza mostra che soluzioni focalizzate esclusivamente sul mercato del lavoro non sono sufficienti per attivare una piena inclusione sociale. Pertanto, gli autori suggeriscono di considerare la giustizia intergenerazionale come inclusione intergenerazionale e in termini di partecipazione attiva e responsabilizzazione nelle comunità locali delle persone. L'analisi tiene conto delle questioni teoriche e delle implicazioni pratiche di tale prospettiva, con riferimento in particolare ai sistemi di welfare e alla loro efficacia nell'affrontare questo tipo di sfide.The principle of intergenerational justice is much more common in the environmental sector, but it is becoming less unusual to consider it in a social and political context. The last economic crisis has significantly increased inequality among and across generations. In several EU countries, the number of NEETs raised dramatically after the recession. Moving from the Italian case, the paper focuses on the policies recently implemented to tackle the problem. Evidence shows that solutions exclusively focused on the labour market are not sufficient to activate a full social inclusion. Hence, the authors suggest considering intergenerational justice as intergenerational inclusion and in terms of active participation and empowerment in people’s local communities. The analysis takes into account theoretical issues and practical implications of such a viewpoint, referring in particular to welfare systems and their effectiveness in facing this kind of challenge
