Il Museo come vettore di inclusione e partecipazione: l’accessibilità nel Museo Archeologico di Taranto
No full textIl contributo presenta i risultati della ricerca condotta dal gruppo di lavoro del Centro delle Nuove Tecnologie per l’Inclusione (Cnthi) dell’Università del Salento presso il Museo Archeologico di Taranto (MArTa), nell’ambito del progetto Accessibilità Museale e Inclusione: una ricerca-azione per il MArTA. Il disegno di ricerca si è sviluppato su un duplice piano: analisi dei bisogni dell’utenza e pianificazione di interventi strategici. Tramite la somministrazione di un questionario è stato possibile mappare la complessità dei bisogni dei visitatori del Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Taranto e successivamente ad una swot analysis, è stato possibile definire interventi migliorativi riguardanti l’abbattimento di barriere cognitive, sensoriali, fisiche e comunicative che ostacolano la fruizione del patrimonio. Ciò che sottende l’individuazione delle soluzioni è un approccio for all: partendo dai bisogni speciali, si mira all’attuazione di azioni inclusive che si adattano estensivamente a tutti i visitatori senza richiedere soluzioni o adeguamenti “speciali”. Coerentemente con il modello progettuale dell’inclusione, il fine è garantire l’esperienza museale a tutti i pubblici e per questo è stata sviluppata una linea d’analisi principalmente qualitativa in grado di valutare le dimensioni importanti, proposte dall’Index for Inclusion (Booth e Ainscow, 2011), collegandole alla museologia accessibile: creare culture inclusive, creare politiche inclusive e attuare pratiche inclusive. Gli esiti dell’indagine sono confluiti nella predisposizione di misure di adattamento della fruizione museale e in linee di progettazione grafica degli allestiment

Vaginal mesh exposure after laparoscopic sacrocervicopexy performed with permanent or absorbable sutures
No full textWe have received and read with pleasure the recent Letter to the Editor by Tsilanizara and Deffieux.1 We would like to thank the authors for their interest in our study recently published in AOGS2 and appreciate the opportunity to discuss this work. The comments of Tsilanizara and Deffieux address an important secondary endpoint of our study, specifically the rate of vaginal mesh erosion in the permanent suture group, which was 4% (three cases). We agree with authors about the importance of specifying whether these were cases of vaginal mesh or suture/knot exposure and would like to note that all three cases were mesh exposures necessitating re-operation. It was not possible to establish whether the cause of erosion was related to the mesh and/or the permanent sutures. Additional studies are necessary to inform this particular issue

A Human Rights Approach to Environmental Health
No full textThis chapter explores the interface between health and the environment through the human rights prism, focusing on the environmental dimension of the right to health and on the now widely recognized right to a healthy, safe and clean environment. To this end, the chapter intends to offers a comprehensive analysis of the relevant provisions contained in human rights treaties and the obligations stemming therefrom. The review of these legal sources is completed by a critical assessment of the case law produced by regional human rights bodies and their evolutive interpretation of individual rights and corresponding State obligations in this field, with a special focus on the case law of the European Court of Human Rights. The aim of this legal analysis is to evaluate the added value of a human rights approach to environmental health litigation, with a view to best achieving the overarching goal of public health protection from environmental harm. The author highlights that human rights can be used in court as effective tools to protect public health against the adverse effects of environmental degradation and severe pollution. She also stresses that the potential of human rights bodies in the field of environmental health is yet fully unexpressed, but further positive developments towards the protection of collective and intergenerational rights related to the environment and human health can be achieved thanks to the dynamic and evolutive approach adopted by these bodies and through the virtuous circle created by judicial cross-fertilization
A Multitude of Women: The Challenges of the Contemporary Italian Novel
No full textA Multitude of Women looks at the ways in which both Italian literary tradition and external influences have assisted Italian women writers in rethinking the theoretical and aesthetic ties between author, text, and readership in the construction of the novel. Stefania Lucamante discusses the valuable contributions that Italian women writers have made to the contemporary novel and illustrates the relevance of the novelistic examples set by their predecessors. She addresses various discursive communities, reading works by Di Lascia, Ferrante, Vinci, and others with reference to intertextuality and the theories of Elsa Morante and Simone de Beauvoir.
This study identifies a positive deviation from literary and ideological orthodoxy, a deviation that helps give meaning to the Italian novel and to transform the traditional notion of the canon in Italian literature. Lucamante argues that this is partly due to the merits of women writers and their ability to eschew obsolete patterns in narrative while favoring forms that are more attuned to the ever-changing needs of society. She shows that contemporary novels by women authors mirror a shift from previous trends in which the need for female emancipation interfered with the actual literary and aesthetic significance of the novel. A Multitude of Women offers a new epistemology of the novel and will appeal to those interested in women's writing, readership, Italian studies, and literary studies in general

No full textStefania Poznańska, PhD, was one of five managers of the school, which informal name was Cracow School of Nurses. The School was
founded on 5 November 1911 under the name of School of Professional Nursing, also called the "old Cracow school". Its successor i.e. the
University School of Nurses and Health Carers later Hygienists was opened on 10 December 1925. The abovementioned term also refers to
the following nursing schools: University School of Nursing and Midwifery (1946-1951), Public School of Nursing and Midwifery (1949-1951), Public School Of Nursing (1950-1964), Public Medical School of Nursing (1964-1971), Department of Nursing of the Medical Vocational
College No 1 (1971-1981), and Anna Rydlówna Department of Nursing of the Medical Vocational College No 1 (1982-2001). The
school was localised in Cracow, 25 Kopernika St. until 1975, and then was moved to a new location - 12 Michałowskiego St. The aim of the study was the recollection of Stefania Poznańska, PhD, a nurse, teacher, tutor of nursing, author of multiple research studies
and publications, a person dedicated to the development of modern nursing, and last but not least, a great fiend.
The study material is based on a review of personal notes and archive materials gathered by the Institute of Nursing and Midwifery,
Faculty of Health Sciences, Medical Collage, Jagiellonian University in Cracow. Also, personal recollections of multiple encounters
with Stefania Poznańska were taken into account. A biography-historical method as well as the review of documents were applied by
the authors. A significant contribution of Stefania Poznańska to the development of modern nursing must be emphasized. This contribution included her
work for the Programme Committee in Cracow for nursing education curriculum at university level as well as specific detailed programs regarding nursing history and ethical issues in nursing care, and the publication of a series of articles on new concept for teaching nursing
profession. Stefania Poznańska was a person open to another human being
Tourism destination and the role of trust
No full textTourism destinations increasingly pose new challenges to the organizational and management aspects of tourism. The non-cooperative behavior of some companies, the difficulties of sharing a system of values, the absence or inadequacy of destination managers keep some destinations off the map of growth that is sought for by the stakeholders and shareholders of a given resort. This difficulty seems to lie in the scarce knowledge of the system of relations existing between firms and their degree of cooperation.
The application of Social Network Analysis (SNA) and some indicators for network analysis provides a clearer and more analytical map of the links between tourism businesses located within a destination.
It was decided to apply SNA to the tourism destination of San Vito Lo Capo (Sicily), whose development has been spontaneous and neither directly linked to specific tourism policies nor accelerated by agents outside the system.
The network of commercial relations between enterprises and even family ties existing at this resort were analyzed in an effort to understand how each is implicitly linked to the other.
The results show the existence of a cluster of commercial ties and family ties centered on three sub-groups of enterprises in which there is a family structure that ensures a climate of mutual trust and cooperation. Furthermore, it appears that two enterprises within the three sub-groups play the role of mediators of relations among the enterprises of the resort, as these have been recognized as system leaders.
Therefore, the presence of a widespread system of trust, based on rules and behaviors resulting from a formal agreement or underlying bonds of kinship, contributes to the social or cultural capital of a tourism destination. The presence of this element among firms strengthens the network, boosting the performance of the destination and ensuring systemic and shared management
