De l'innovation technologique au developpement social : objectifs, acteurs et projets du programme européen de developpement rural (2007-2013) dans la région des Pouilles
No full textIn Europe, innovation is widely considered a key factor in a region’s economic growth and competitiveness, although its social and cultural dimensions are often overlooked. In this sense, the LEADER approach represents an emblematic change. The interpretation of innovation is significant with regard to the strategies and governance models implemented, especially on a local scale. As such, the role of innovation and knowledge in the development of territories is important in regions of the Convergence Objective, and particularly in rural areas. In Puglia, the rural development strategy allocates a higher amount of financial resources on axes 3 and 4 of the rural pillar of the common agricultural policy; therefore, it gives great importance to governance. Incorporating a literature review, this article aims to understand the interpretation of innovation and its declination at the local level through the analysis of main regional programming documents for the period spanning 2007-2013. It focuses on initiatives and projects led by local action groups (LAGs) of the LEADER program.En Europe, l’innovation est largement considérée comme l’un des facteurs-clés de la croissance économique et de la compétitivité régionale, bien que ses dimensions sociales et culturelles soient souvent négligées. En ce sens, l’approche LEADER représente un changement emblématique. L’interprétation de l’innovation est significative des stratégies et des modèles de gouvernance mis en œuvre, spécialement à l’échelle locale. À ce titre, le rôle de l’innovation et de la connaissance dans le développement des territoires est important dans les régions de l’Objectif de Convergence et en particulier dans les régions rurales. Dans les Pouilles, la stratégie de développement rural concentre une plus grande proportion des ressources financières sur l'axe 3 et 4 du pilier rural de la politique agricole commune et accorde de ce fait une grande importance à la gouvernance. À partir d’une revue de la littérature, l’article vise à comprendre l’interprétation de l’innovation et sa déclinaison à l’échelle locale à travers une analyse des principaux documents d’aménagement régional établis pour la période de programmation 2007-2013. Il se concentre sur les initiatives et les projets portés par les groupes d’actions locales (GAL) du programme LEADER

Survival and quality of life in gastrointestinal tumors: two different end points?
No full textIn gastrointestinal tumors, the traditional end point of medical treatment was represented mainly by survival. In the last few years, however, there has been an increasing awareness about the role of quality of life.This paper seeks to discuss these two important end points and their relationship in colorectal, gastric, pancreatic and liver cancers.Chemotherapy has doubled survival in comparison with best supportive care in gastrointestinal tumors. A subjective response, represented by a decrease in cancer-related symptoms is expected in about half of the symptomatic patients in colorectal and gastric cancer. In pancreatic cancer, the positive results in terms of clinical benefit helped define the role of chemotherapy. Although clinical benefit does not represent a validated tool to measure quality of life, it can be a first step in the definition of new, simpler tools to assess this end point. The frequent presence of a serious concomitant disease, liver cirrhosis, in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) usually prevents the use of chemotherapy in these tumors, which are often treated with locoregional treatments. Unfortunately, their impact on the survival and quality of life of these patients has never been adequately assessed.In many gastrointestinal cancers, chemotherapy can produce a survival gain and an improvement in the quality of life. Further studies assessing new drugs and/or combinations should focus on these aspects and their relationships. In particular, the impact of treatments of HCC on both survival and quality of life must be investigated by well-designed prospective trials. When assessing the value of a particular anticancer treatment, it is important to consider the impact it may have not only on survival but also on quality of life. This is particularly so for cancer patients, whose life expectancy may be short
