Rethinking Of Antimicrobial Decision-systems in the Management of Animal Production - ROADMAP (H2020 Project N° 817626)
No full textROADMAP will foster transitions towards prudent antimicrobial use (AMU) in animal production in a large variety of contexts, by favouring a rethinking of antimicrobial decision-systems all along the food supply chain. Even if it is possible to learn from successful experiences, there is no “one-size-fits-all” solution to reduce AMU but various strategies working according to local conditions, defined by social, economic, technical and institutional variables.
ROADMAP will develop innovative conceptual approaches within a trans-disciplinary and multi-actor perspective to engage with animal health professionals, stakeholders and policy-makers. It will adapt, combine and produce tailored strategies to reduce AMU in diverse production systems in Europe and low- and middle-income countries (pig, poultry, cattle and fish sectors). Main objectives of ROADMAP are:
1) to understand why and how AMU varies according to local contexts, by studying knowledge, practice and behaviours of farmers, veterinarians and upstream and downstream industries of the food supply chain;
2) to develop innovative socioeconomic and technical instruments to foster prudent AMU adapted to various production systems, by co-designing integrative strategies with animal health professionals and stakeholders;
3) to evaluate ROADMAP solutions and ensure their impact. Innovative communication, dissemination and exploitation tools will be implemented to reach a large community of end-users.
ROADMAP will identify levers and incentives to encourage AMU change, by providing scenarios and recommendations for efficient transitions towards prudent AMU and solutions socially acceptable but also technically and economically feasible. ROADMAP will therefore contribute to the fight against antimicrobial resistance by allowing cross-learning from diverse successful experiences, encouraging a harmonization of AMU reduction trends across Europe and thus favouring a global decrease of AMU in animal production

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Quanto costa alle famiglie difendersi dalle zanzare
Full text linkNegli ultimi decenni, gli studi sulla diffusione a livello globale della zanzara tigre (A. albopictus), sui conseguenti rischi per la salute dell'uomo, degli animali e dell'ambiente e sul miglioramento dei possibili metodi di controllo si sono notevolmente sviluppati; ciononostante, la letteratura scientifica sugli aspetti economici di questa bio-invasione è ancora scarsa, anche per ciò che riguarda le informazioni di base circa i costi che le amministrazioni pubbliche e le stesse famiglie devono sostenere per garantire protezione dal culicide. Dopo aver portato a termine un primo studio sui costi sostenuti dalle pubbliche amministrazioni dell’Emilia-Romagna per l’implementazione del piano di controllo della zanzara tigre, abbiamo affrontato l’analisi dei costi privati attraverso un sondaggio telefonico su un campione rappresentativo di famiglie emiliano-romagnole per raccogliere informazioni su: livello di disturbo causato dall'invasione di A. albopictus nella popolazione; livello di preoccupazione per i principali aspetti sanitari dell'invasione; tipo di misure adottate dalle famiglie per la protezione contro A. albopictus e relativa idoneità e utilità; spese sostenute dalle famiglie per tali misure; influenza sui comportamenti delle famiglie dalle principali variabili ambientali e sociali (ad esempio tipo e ubicazione della casa di abitazione, livello di istruzione, numero di membri della famiglia, presenza di bambini, ecc.)
