Esperienza migratoria, salute e disuguaglianze
No full textTale contributo si propone approfondire la relazione tra esperienza migratoria e disuguaglianze di salute nel mondo, in particolare, in Italia. Vengono a tal proposito esposte le principali problematiche di ordine storico, demografico, sociale e antropologico che vanno a definire le peculiarità e le differenze dei processi migratori. Tali percorsi infatti si pongono al crocevia tra i processi che riguardano i diversi paesi di provenienze e le dinamiche di inclusione sociale di quelli di accoglienza. E' in tale complessità e complementarietà di dimensioni sociali, politiche economiche e sociali, tra il locale e il globale che la salute diviene il terreno su cui i processi e i percorsi di cittadinanza vengono ad inscriversi
Urban Health Multidisciplinary Actions Promoting Health in an Urban Environment
No full textThe crisis faced by the Western lifestyle model when dealing with problems associated with climate change and the new roles that cities and buildings must play in a world of globalisation fosters the rise of a new approach that marks a necessary turning point for our civilisation. For decades now, the fight against climate change has seen many of the world’s most important countries committing themselves to agreements—from the Kyoto Protocol of 1992 to the Paris COP21 in 2015—that are gradually getting better at establishing goals, strategies and actions for improving quality of life and protecting the entire planet, even if some venture doubts on the concrete possibility of achieving them
Urban Health. Partecipatory action-research models contrasting socioeconomics inequalities in the urban context
No full textThis book describes and examines, with a qualitative and quantitative approach, the
relationships between the constructed environment, health and social vulnerability.
It demonstrates that spatial disintegration is quite often intertwined with health and
social inequalities; therefore, it is crucial to adopt a methodology of multidisciplinary
approach to urban health, in order to investigate the inequalities in
healthcare and medical assistance through the analysis of psycho-social–
environmental processes and the impact that these aspects can produce on objective
and perceived health. The territorial insecurity is a local translation of complex
phenomena regarding social ‘mobility’ (migration, economic crisis and development,
restructuring of physical environments, increase in population), a clear
reflection of the concept of urban divides where intra-metropolitan duality produces
areas that have high levels of quality of life and areas characterized by poverty and
spatial segregation. The first are the urban territories that, due to their characteristics,
are capable of intercepting the opportunities of the global market; the latter
are less attractive areas for investments, trade and tourism that consequently find
themselves on the outskirts of society
Preface
No full textFaced with an interest in achieving meaningful, fair and lasting solutions in order to contrast and reduce health inequalities, we have worked to implement the formulation of new multidisciplinary approaches, oriented to the quality of life within an ecological model of health. This scientific initiative—which arises from the interest of the Working Group on Equity in Health, inside Sapienza University of Rome—was built with a solid multidis-ciplinary approach. There is a growing awareness that facing the complexity that today’s world increasingly presents us, requires a convergence of viewpoints and experiences, as well as the study and sharing of objectives and approaches. In this regard, we need to draw on the philosophy of SDGs, the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. More specifically, we should highlight the interdepen-dence of the Goals, and therefore, the need for coordination of the sectors concerned has launched its very important challenge. At first glance, it could therefore be said that the volume considers the interaction between Goal 3—Health and Wellbeing— and Goal 11—Sustainable Cities and Communities. This is certainly true, however, if we look closer we can see the need to consider how much the promotion of health in urban areas, or the focus chosen for this meeting, is also closely linked to Objective 16—Peace, Justice and Solid Institutions—, as well as to Objectives 6—Clean water and sanitation—, 7—Clean and accessible energy—, 9—Enterprises, innovation and infrastructure—, 12—Responsible consumption and production—, 13—Fight against climate change—. And how can we fail to invoke the more classic objectives, which in the medical-scientific literature take the name of ‘determinants of health’? That is, the 4th—Quality education—, the 8th—Decent work and economic growth, the 1st—Defeating poverty—and the 2nd—Defeating hunger. And last but certainly not least, Objective 5—Gender equality (and opportunities like this represent not only an exchange of knowledge between different areas of study and disciplines, but also lay the foundations for creating an increasingly complex network of scientific culture and operational collaboration. We therefore believe that these initiatives have the potential to transfer knowledge and also gain the attention of public opinion, influ-encing decision-makers through advocacy. In addition, given the key to the general understanding of ‘urban health’ as the quality of life and well-being in the urban and residential space that characterizes the conditions of the community to which the Sapienza research group has allocated its action-research, it is our hope that the result will also be the promotion of health protection initiatives and participation in the formulation of public interest programmes (policy-making)
The Ascoli Piceno Case: The CCUHRE Project
No full textRegenerating the existing city and placing health at the centre of policies, plans, and projects represents an effective response to contrast the effects of climate change that impact cities and the health of inhabitants. Convinced of this need/opportunity are the World Health Organization (WHO), eminent international researchers, and public administration representatives in many European cities. Urban planning is called to play a key role in adapting cities to climate change and at the same time to improve citizens’ health and quality of life. To do this, it is necessary to review the tools for gathering knowledge and assessment, involve local communities, and welcome the support of new IoT (Internet of Things) technologies finally centred on people. CCHURE aims to define an interdisciplinary method to evaluate the effects of climate change on health and direct policies and projects for adaptation/mitigation through health-based solutions and with the support of IoT technologies and mobile crowdsensing techniques. The research project aims to reach these objectives through the contribution of many scientific disciplines, interaction with the local municipality, local health agencies, and citizen involvement

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
