Antropologia medica applicata at home. Dalle criticità alla necessità di un posizionamento “eretico”
No full textThis contribution aims to reflect on personal tensions emerged from anaction-research carried out within a public hospital’s gynecology unit located in northwestern Italy. I got involved on this fieldwork in two different ways: both as a Ph.D.researcher, willing to investigate the capability of informed consent to protect or not migrant patients’ right to health, and as an anthropologist-tutor having a specific educative responsibility - identifying critical situations in the relations between healthcare professionals and migrant patients in order to develop more equal relationships of care. More specifically I analyze the relationship among three ethically relevant topics such as: doing research "at home", the dialogue between subjectivity and experience and the challenging concretization of an appropriate methodology in anthropology. Starting from the ethical dilemmas emerged in fieldwork I want to reflect on the politicaldimensions of being and researching "at home", on anthropology's public role and on the lack of recognition of the practitioner anthropologist and his/her work's legitimacy in this field
Andare oltre Per un’antropologia pubblica dell’accoglienza dei richiedenti protezione internazionale

Urban Electric Mobility Impacts on Road Pollutant Emissions: The Role of ITS & Traffic Management Solutions
No full textRoad pollutant emissions in urban context have reached unsustainable values exceeding law-limits. Many efforts have been done adopting “green” policies and “green” traffic management operations. Through the emission regulation procedure, vehicle industry provides to the market less pollutant vehicles; but it is not still enough. Electric and hybrid vehicles seem to be the best and suitable solution to combine and integrate the increase of public transport users. Through a first case study in the city of Rome (Italy), the paper wants to assess the emissions reduction and the role of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and traffic management solution in the incoming changes in fleet composition
Ability oriented planning: fitting the workstation to man
No full textIt's well known that the European working population is ageing rapidly, because of the demographic trend and the retirement age policy of European countries. At today, managing the ageing labour force, by taking into account individual functional capability limits and disabilities, represents one of the main challenges for companies and yet an important step to improve the working conditions and the satisfaction of workers. The paper describes a step by step approach developed to help allocating workers with inabilities in suitable workstations. Results underline the importance of the ergonomics mapping of each workstations and workplace for a proper allocation worker-workstation, contributing to fully utilize workers' skills, in respect of their specific need

No full textAn Emission Model to Compare Bus and Tramway Transport
No full textAbstractIn recent years the attention to the green transport and emission reduction has been increased significantly. European directives and national ones have introduced restrictions and target for the pollutant emissions. Urban transport systems play the main role. Transport systems based on electric mobility are suitable for green transport. If the market of private electric cars is still too small, public authorities have to implement and to develop strategies for the construction and the use of electrical systems. Considering local public transport, tramway and electric bus lines seem to be the best solution for this objective. This research wants to analyse the emission carried out from a bus line and a tramway line in urban area. Particularly the analysis focuses on to the operational emission and the construction one. Often the emissions related to the construction are ignored while in many cases, especially in urban context, these emissions can reach significant values. A model has been developed to compare the impacts on the emissions related to the construction of a new tramway and/or electric bus line. Which is the total emission reduction if a tramway line or electric bus line replaces a traditional one? The research, through the designed model, tries to answer to this question.A first case study has been analysed considering a 4.5km long transit line. Results show that the tramway system can save up to 75% of CO emission
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
Di quale antropologia il mondo ha bisogno? Confronto sulla sostenibilità delle prassi antropologiche. Introduzione alla sezione monografica
No full textIl volume monografico raccoglie contributi che hanno sperimentato la complessità del co-operare in una logica di intervento (di ricerca e/o di lavoro) che tenta di tenere insieme autoriflessività e una postura disciplinare ancorate a un’etica-metodologica rigorosa. Attraverso la riflessione sulle fatiche nella costruzione di alleanze, emozioni, criticità e dilemmi, le autrici cercano di restituire quanto, a quale costo, si è state capaci come antropologhe di agire in modo sostenibile in contesti caratterizzati da una forte gerarchia interprofessionale e strutturati dal punto di vista dei ruoli e dei mandati. Proponiamo quindi una prima riflessione, che ci auspichiamo possa essere ulteriormente alimentata nel futuro, nel tentativo di rispondere alla seguente domanda: cosa produciamo e costruiamo quando nei nostri campi operativi e di ricerca rivendichiamo l’“essere antropologhe/i”
