Texte intégralRésumé :
The article presents methodological and practical experiences of an inter-university research project “Language of boundaries – Boundaries of language. Paralinguistic aspects of intercultural communication”, one of project tasks being conducting interviews with Polish and German senior respondents. The project aims were, among others, to investigate linguistic and cultural awareness, the sense of proximity/alienness with the culture and the others in the transborder area and the processes of mutual accommodation. In this context, senior respondents are a particularly precious target group in language contact studies as they are witnesses of linguistic identity and cultural memory. The interviews took place in the Polish-German border region of Frankfurt/Oder and Słubice. The respondents were asked questions included in a questionnaire that was especially prepared for the purpose. The questions included among other things questions about the respondents’ origins, professional life, education, daily habits, languages spoken by them, attitudes towards the other cultural group. The authors have not only presented theoretical basics of transborder studies, accommodation processes and age studies, but they have also given practical tips on what should be considered when doing interviews with the elderly. The article includes a summary of the answers given by the two groups of the respondents. With the article, the authors intend to contribute methodologically to future socio- and gerontolinguistic studies.
The research was carried out as part of the project Język pogranicza – pogranicze języka. Parajęzykowe aspekty komunikacji międzykulturowej (UMO: No. 0106 / NPRH3 / H12 / 82/2014) financed by the National Program for the Development of Humanities.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Background: Childhood obesity is one of the greatest public health concerns facing advanced societies, Spain being one of the countries with the highest incidence. In this sense, the Region of Murcia has been pointed out as the Spanish autonomous community with the highest prevalence of excess weight among young people. More specifically, the Valle de Ricote has shown an even greater proportion of excess weight among young people. Several sociodemographic, environmental, lifestyle, health-related, cognitive, and psychological factors are related to excess weight. Based on the lack of information, this research project will try to provide relevant information to design intervention programs, as well as to implement effective public policies to try and reverse this alarming situation. Therefore, this research project aims (1) to obtain cross-sectional and longitudinal data on the excess weight and their potential sociodemographic, environmental, lifestyle, health-related, cognitive, and psychological factors associated among adolescents from the Valle de Ricote (Region of Murcia, Spain) (aged 12–17 years), and (2) to examine the association between excess weight and their potential sociodemographic, environmental, lifestyle, health-related, cognitive, and psychological factors associated among this population. Methods: A cross-sectional study and follow-up study will be performed. This research project will involve adolescents using a simple random sampling technique. A total of three secondary schools from the Valle de Ricote (Region of Murcia, Spain) will be included in this project. The minimum sample size will be 1138, establishing a 95% confidence interval, a 40% prevalence of excess weight, a 3% margin of error, and a non-response rate of 10%. Primary outcome measures will be: (1) anthropometric measurements, (2) sociodemographic factors, (3) environmental factors, (4) lifestyle factors, (5) health-related factors, (6) cognitive factors, and (7) psychological factors. Conclusion: This research project will aim to determine the prevalence of excess weight and interrelate their potential sociodemographic, environmental, lifestyle, health-related, cognitive, and psychological factors associated. The obtained results will help to manage and propose possible multidisciplinary interventions and strategies in order to prevent and reduce the excess weight in adolescents from the Valle de Ricote. Furthermore, orientations will be given to transfer the obtained results to the public sector to evaluate or change the adopted policies.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This study aimed to examine the determinants of life satisfaction of older adults in Turkey. The sample consisted of 2,959 older adults over 65 years. The effects of psychological, daily life and instrumental activity, physical health and health status, and other important variables on life satisfaction were analyzed. The variables lessening life satisfaction for older adults included poverty, a lower self-reported health status, a decline in physical health, ability to chew, ability to do household activities, and an increase in feelings of depression and feeling social withdrawn. In contrast, being married, having a higher education level, and having an income-generating work increased life satisfaction among older adults. This study suggests the necessity of developing local and national policies that enable older adults to become more active in their communities. These policies should be coordinated under the framework of national aging policies that bridge health, social, and economic issues.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract This article considers the immigration of North American Finns to Soviet Karelia through the prism of daily life. It focuses on how governmental directives were implemented at the local level, and how the challenges of daily life forced the immigrants to re-evaluate the decision to move eastwards across the Atlantic, as well as the socialist project in general. In the first section, the article examines the motives of the immigrants with an emphasis on frictions between multiple Soviet state agencies. Since the motives of these agencies were different and sometimes directly contradictory to one another, the organization of immigration was from the very beginning plagued with inefficient management, indifference to arriving immigrants, and negligence of the conditions in which the immigrants were to live and work. The article discusses the conditions of housing and work and food, the three main spheres in which the Soviet Karelian leadership failed to satisfy demands of the immigrants, primarily because a long bureaucratic chain of management was too inflexible to introduce effective solutions. The article then considers the immigrants’ responses to their dissatisfaction with daily life, from re-emigration to adaptation to attempts to improve the quality of life without relying on official assistance.

Texte intégralRésumé :
In this article we propose a problematizing overview of daily life under the Salazarist dictatorship (1926–1974), linking the corporative, educational and propagandistic contexts. We examine how institutionalized, controlled, negotiated and/or repressed leisure was spread throughout the smallest interstices of daily life in Portugal. We also analyse the dichotomous realities and policies for the people and elites (in education and reading, cultural production, circulation and consumption), for women and men (social and cultural roles), etc., and compromises with an expanded mass culture. The article directs attention to specific examples of sociocultural negotiations between civil society and the state, as happened in sports (para-)folkloristic festivities and parades (e.g. the ‘popular marches’) and in certain mass culture productions (e.g. revue theatre, cinema, broadcasting and television). Similarly, our ‘bottom-up’ approach focuses on evidence of subversive or alternative sociability and cultural achievements, demonstrating that, in some areas, elements of civil society were able to express open resistance and/or alternative views to the dictatorship.

PLOS ONE 18, no 2 (22 février 2023) : e0282095. http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0282095.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Background Cross-border use of health services is an important aspect of life in border regions. Little is known about the cross-border use of health services in neighboring low- and middle-income countries. Understanding use of health services in contexts of high cross-border mobility, such as at the Mexico-Guatemala border, is crucial for national health systems planning. This article aims to describe the characteristics of the cross-border use of health care services by transborder populations at the Mexico-Guatemala border, as well as the sociodemographic and health-related variables associated with use. Methods Between September-November 2021, we conducted a cross-sectional survey using a probability (time-venue) sampling design at the Mexico-Guatemala border. We conducted a descriptive analysis of cross-border use of health services and assessed the association of use with sociodemographic and mobility characteristics by means of logistic regressions. Results A total of 6,991 participants were included in this analysis; 82.9% were Guatemalans living in Guatemala, 9.2% were Guatemalans living in Mexico, 7.8% were Mexicans living in Mexico, and 0.16% were Mexicans living in Guatemala. 2.6% of all participants reported having a health problem in the past two weeks, of whom 58.1% received care. Guatemalans living in Guatemala were the only group reporting cross-border use of health services. In multivariate analyses, Guatemalans living in Guatemala working in Mexico (compared to not working in Mexico) (OR 3.45; 95% CI 1.02,11.65), and working in agriculture/cattle, industry, or construction while in Mexico (compared to working in other sectors) (OR 26.67; 95% CI 1.97,360.85), were associated with cross-border use. Conclusions Cross-border use of health services in this region is related to transborder work (i.e., circumstantial use of cross-border health services). This points to the importance of considering the health needs of migrant workers in Mexican health policies and developing strategies to facilitate and increase their access to health services.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The present work analyzes teachers' narratives about their graduation related to national and municipal public policies that impact teacher training. We sought to understand teachers’ formation based on Brazilian public policies related to municipal ones. For this, the study is focused on the legislation, having as its object the (auto) biography of four elementary school teachers from two Bahia municipalities. They reflect on life education and professional performance, focusing on the education policies of teachers. We can notice breaches in the system, setbacks in public policies for teacher training in recent decades, and the urgency of rethinking the process of teachers training at the municipal level, emphasizing the main training space and the practices that occur in the daily life of the school.

Objective: to analyze the everyday life of nurses through the sexual work division as well as through interdependence relations and the time in hospital.Method: quanti-qualitative study, based on the Time Use Survey and in Norbert Elias's Configuration Theory of Interdependencies. Daily shifts distribution record, directed by 42 participants - with self-confrontation - by interviews which drew dialogues on subjective aspects of the everyday experiences related to use of time, based on a job at a university hospital. The theoretical intake that founded data analysis was based on concepts of conflicts of interest, power struggles, sexual work division and polychronic-monochronic concepts - whether the work environment demands multitasking nurses or not.Results: time records allowed to observe differences between the groups studied, useful to identify conflicts, tensions, power struggles and gender inequalities in interviewees' everyday affairs that do not only affect physical and mental health, but also their way of life.Conclusion: the analytical path pointed out the need for public policies that promote equity in gender relations, keeping at sight the exercise of plural discourses and tolerant stances capable to respect differences between individual and collective time.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Life satisfaction, an important precursor of adolescents’ well-being, is linked to daily activities. Substantial changes have been noted in adolescents’ daily activities over the years, raising the question of possible consequences for life satisfaction. This study aimed to explore changes in adolescents’ life satisfaction and their time spent on daily activities (sleeping, engaging in sports, online gaming, school commuting, time spent at school) and further investigate the associations between adolescents’ life satisfaction and these daily activities. The sample comprised 2715 adolescents from birth cohorts surveyed at four time points between 1992 and 2019. Participants were administered the Daily Activities Inventory and the Berne Questionnaire on Adolescents’ Well-Being. Robust ANOVA with post hoc tests and spline regression were employed. We found cohort differences in sleep duration (8.6 h a day on average in 1992 and 7.5 in 2019). Sleep duration of 8 h and 1 h of sports activities had a beneficial effect on life satisfaction, while more than 1 h of online gaming had a negative impact. Neither school attendance nor commuting to school was associated with adolescents’ life satisfaction. The results of this study can inform public-health policies to promote sleeping and sports habits in adolescence.

Texte intégralRésumé :
2007/2008Scenarios of the future European Union suggest that Europe will be part of a more globalised world economy, and will build even stronger relationships among neighbouring countries. It will have dense urban areas and a mutated climate. People’s lives will be transformed by breakthroughs in energy, transport and communication technologies. The transport sector in these forecasts will have to satisfy a greater demand for mobility. At the same time it will have to find solutions in order address its negative externalities, which affect the environment, the economy and the society. The Trans European Network of Transport (TEN-T) and the Pan-European Transport Corridors are defined as key instruments in order to achieve the economic growth and social integration within the EU political map. They are of a crucial importance when implementing EU enlargement policies towards neighbouring countries. The networks of transport and communication will further develop relations with EU neighbouring countries and will assist them in achieving most advanced standards. Corridor Eight is one of the ten “Pan European Corridors of Transport”, based on the trace of an antic roman corridor, “La Via Egnatia” (Fasolo. M. 2003). When taking in consideration the to date reports of the civil works, services, and the main operating indicators of the Corridor Eight as a part of Pan European Transport Corridors, the following may be observed: Corridor Eight it is not yet operational in all modes of transport and services along all its length and area. There are no railway links in different parts of it, while there is not high operational performance of the existing roads and highways. Consequently it does not fulfil its mission to enhance the movement of people, goods, information and experiences in all forms of transport from Adriatic and Ion Seas in the Mediterranean Sea to the Black Sea. It does not therefore link societies, natural resources and economies between two peninsulas and Euro-Asian region. Corridor Eight does not offer the necessary capacity and contemporary standards to afford flows of traffic for people, horizontal and vertical signallers, emergency situations and electricity black out situations, while there are not alternative electricity resources along its segments of roads, railways, seaports, etc. There are not clear demonstrations to satisfy a safe, secure, and healthy transport services along the area. Taking in consideration, • the conclusion that corridors of transport as spatial planed parts of the territory are confirmed to be effective tools for development and social integration between countries ; • the fact that international transport infrastructure realities are demonstrating to be competitive and complementary and of high standard service ; • that up to now regional and geopolitical realities has not been in favour of the Balkans; • that the future transport will be based on achieving goals of being clean, safe, secure, healthy and cost effective ; • that the society of countries along Corridor are clearly defined towards EU integration, and that being part of EU means obligation and standards must be achieved; • that in a near future Albania, FYROM (Macedonia) will be part of EU political map: The following research questions are addressed in the study: – Could countries like Albania, Macedonia and Bulgaria, develop sustainable transport along corridors of transport and their networks in order to be more competitive and complementary one among TEN –T and Pan-European Transport Corridors and areas? – What policies should be pursued and what strategies should be drawn while building corridors of transport infrastructure as a functional part of TEN-T and Pan-European transport corridors networks. How can those countries offer a comfortable, safe, healthy, secure transport to EU citizens as well as a multitude of choices in means of transport along Corridor Eight countries? – What partnerships must be raised to face the challenge of sustainable corridors of transport? – What policy should be pursued to turn corridors of transport into corridors of social integration and economic growth? – Could we, and which are the instruments to build a state of wellbeing along the corridors of infrastructure, beyond the political, natural, ethnic, religious and cultural borders, aiming towards walking local, achieving global ! The theory and conceptual approach to the transportation corridors will be presented by this study, to highlight social and economical benefits of transport activity as well as the consequences coming of it and regarding human activity, environment, bio natural diversities and global warming along corridors area. The presentation of the status of both: the Transnational European Network of Transport (TEN-T), as well as that of the Pan European Corridors of Transport in regard to the future sustainable policies and guidelines of the European Commission is one of prior objectives of this study. Consequently the research objective is to present the realities along Corridor Eight areas in relation to sustainable indicators. Finally, this study will endeavour to feature the best performing experiences and attempt to suggest the most beneficial solutions towards sustainable development in the societies along the countries of Corridor Eight.

Texte intégralRésumé :
2011/2012Taipana is a 699 inhabitants village located in the Eastern Julian Pre-Alps. It is inhabited by a linguistic minority, whose survival is endangered by the ageing of its population and the abandon of the young and productive age group. The municipal administration is actively fighting the threatened disappearance of its population. While usually administrations take note of migration flows only when they arrived so far that they cannot be ignored anymore, the municipal administration of Taipana has decided to encourage migration to its territory, in order to stop its possible complete abandon. Through a housing policy of low cost rents and houses for sale, and thanks to a consolidated network of human relations, young families from other countries are thus attracted to settle here. Taipana is usually not their first stop in Italy. Many of them speak Italian. In Taipana they buy houses and open enterprises. Their children go to school there. At the moment, the school children community seems to be the best result of the repopulation policy: it is, in fact, a united group of young persons, all of them conscious and proud of their diversity. Their adult relatives seem to be more resistant to any kind of grouping. Old and new inhabitants apparently ignore each other and lead separated lives. If deeper investigated, a number of personal relations have grown between neighbours, colleagues, citizens. But none dares yet feeling the member of a new and original kind of community.

Texte intégralRésumé :
2012/2013The whole Europe is dependent on the import of energy in various forms . Given that Europe has no longer its raw materials in large quantities and had to turn to new technologies in order to produce the required amount of energy needed. There is the similar situation also in Croatia , which has recently become a full member of the European Union . This paper attempts to critically analyze the current situation in the energy sector . The thesis is oriented on the identification of the problems , barriers and reasons regarding the usage of certain types of technology , and why the implementation of this technologies are not differently organized and developed in the Republic of Croatia. The thasis also analyzes the objectives of the energy development strategy , the legal framework of implementation of renewable energy sources , the problem faced by renewables in their implementation and other segments that are associated with sustainable energy ig general. In the thesis also some themes regarding subsidizing energy production are analysed , therefore the thesis also tried to evoke the auto balance between subsidizing conventional forms of energy production and minor state subsidies for new renewable forms of energy . After each chapter the conclusions are drawn from various sub-segments , Thru the questionnaire different direct opinion and conclusions from society was analysed considering those same energy topics. The survey was conducted on a total of 617 respondents from seven different cities on the Croatian territory . The idea was to compare the results obtained from the survey with logically conclusions and argumentation that emerged from the analysis of the documents and statistical data from the previous practice in the energy sector in Croatia . The paper accented suggestions and ideas for distributed implementations of the smale scale sources with most emphasis on the fotovoltaic tecnology . Proposal for smaller sources is justified and argumented in the thesis by technical and economic elements , and the thesis tried to explain and argument the viability of this proposal. In the circles that follow the development of the energy sector in Croatia , some facts about the barriers and possible improvements in the restructure of the renewable implementation plan is generally familiar. In this study it is mostly accented the fact that a small distributed renewable sources are ideal for the current energy situation in Croatia and therefore should be taken more into consideration for futher development of the renewable sector. Small sources are interesting for several reasons, among others , because they were easily accessible to ordinary households , and therefore it encourages employment at the local level . From a technical perspective , it is easiest to implement in existing power system and do not affect negatively the distribution network like large solution of from the renewable energy element portfolio. The paper discusses also the financing and promoting of renewable energy sources and on their promotion by the state . There are known conclusions and around predominantly already known general knowledge and practical problems around the implementation of certain renewable energy technologies and all these conclusions are compared with respondents' opinion on various issues . This work led to thinking that the problems regarding the implementation of renewable energy sources are present . For each of these problems are known causes and consequences , however the intention was to compare the perceptions and the actual amount of knowledge that society has on the actual elements and variables that actually affect the development of renewable energy sources in the Republic of Croatia . But also the intention was to see how certain social and economic elements affecting the same perception and how the respondents actually know the real energy picture in the state of Croatia .

Texte intégralRésumé :
2012/2013Questa indagine propone una lettura del sistema- rifugio italiano partendo dal paradosso della inclassificabilità del rifugiato, non più cittadino del proprio Paese di origine e non ancora cittadino del Paese di approdo, focalizzandosi su quello spazio liminale – a cavallo tra lo status di rifugiato e lo status di cittadino – in cui prendono vita le pratiche quotidiane tipiche del contesto del rifugio. Una componente del contesto italiano è la precarietà del confine tra protezione e abbandono che si rispecchia nella instabile possibilità di inserimento nei progetti nati per svolgere a vario titolo azioni di facilitazione nell'accesso ai diritti sociali dei rifugiati. Sono molti i rifugiati che nonostante l'esistenza di tali progetti si trovano in molti casi costretti a vivere in contesti marginali. Le categorie della cittadinanza e del rifugio non sono qui considerate come sole categorie giuridiche, ma come processi attraverso cui l'individuo si relaziona con il proprio sé e con i soggetti che incontra, e a seconda dell'ambito di potere in cui si trova. Tramite l'osservazione e la raccolta di testimonianze di chi quotidianamente si muove lungo la linea immaginaria che collega il mondo dei progetti a quello dei potenziali ospiti, questo lavoro di ricerca permette una rilettura del sistema rifugio ponendo in rilievo le sue contraddizioni nell'ambito delle relazioni tra la dimensione del terzo settore e delle istituzioni, tra le politiche e le pratiche afferenti a tali dimensioni e quotidianamente messe in atto nella relazione tra gli operatori e i rifugiati “dentro ai progetti” e nelle quotidianità al di “fuori dei progetti”. La lente attraverso cui si è scelto di procedere in questa osservazione, nella specifica esperienza della Toscana, è quella dei percorsi di accesso al diritto all'accoglienza e alla salute nel passaggio dalla loro titolarità alla effettiva esigibilità. Particolare attenzione è rivolta alle dinamiche che riguardano quelle persone rifugiate che appartengono alle cosiddette “categorie vulnerabili”. Il lavoro si interroga su quale sia e quale dovrebbe essere il ruolo dei progetti, e di chi vi opera all'interno, nell'accesso ai diritti dei rifugiati in generale e in particolare di quei rifugiati considerati in una condizione di prioritaria necessità di inserimento in percorsi di supporto nell'accesso ai propri diritti. In particolare, la ricerca viene a verificare se nel corso degli ultimi venti anni di esperienze nell'ambito del rifugio, in cui le “emergenze” si sono avvicendate all'ideazione di esperienze ad hoc e a momenti di riflessione sulle problematicità del processo, si sia effettivamente venuta a creare una “cultura del rifugio” a livello nazionale, che nella sua ipotetica coerenza interna risponda in maniera adeguata alle richieste del contesto

Texte intégralRésumé :
2011/2012This dissertation offers a thorough analysis of European-Russian energy cooperation. It sheds light on the question: why is there a lack of binding institutionalization of the EU-Russia energy relationship despite the high degree of interdependence between the two sides? It is primarily focused on identifying the main actors on both sides of the relationship. This allows us to understand whether there are causal implications between the interest formation and the lobbying power of the crucial actors on the one hand, and the lack of binding governance structures in the EU-Russia energy cooperation on the other. It speaks to the body of literature examining the failure to cooperate in situations of high economic interdependence. Questions such as do multilateral agreements really matter to the main actors on both sides of the EU-Russian energy relationship form the core of this dissertation. My study differs from dominant liberal and constructivist interpretationsin that it links in a comprehensive way the influence of the main actors (i.e. the big gas companies) and the lack of binding governance structures regulating the relationship. Hence, unlike other analyses it finds that the central influence of the industrial gas lobby on decision-making processes is the direct cause of the lack of binding governance structures. It is therefore an alternative to studies that either conceptualize the institutional deadlock as a consequence of structural deficiencies on both sides, or as an outcome of a normative clash. In contrast, I point to the primacy of the private sector and I argue that the influence and the behavior of strategic corporate actors is key to understanding the deadlock. A crucial focus lies on the current paradigm changes in the European gas pricing systems, which widen the already high interest gap between the two blocs. Although being theoretically grounded in the realist tradition, in focusing on the large potential of cross-border cooperation this dissertation employs an innovative and complementary perspective. I investigate various angles on different levels of the complex interdependent relationship, such as the sub-regional level. Yet, the most distinctive feature of this work is the emphasis on the dynamic causal pathways between the influence of the strategic corporate actors and the weakness of governance patterns in the EU-Russia energy relationship. I show how the corporate sector’s pressures on both sides of the relationship ultimately shape and predetermine the configuration of EU-Russia energy governance structures. While evidence about the centrality of the corporate sector strengthens the conclusions of a growing body of research, this study provides an original causal explanation that links the interests of the big energy firms and their reluctance to be locked-into binding governance structures, with the energy governance deadlock. My propositions are tested empirically through an array of qualitative methods (interviews, case studies, analysis of legal and policy documents). I believe that my findings will contribute to the debate on energy relations between the EU and Russia, and help improve our understanding of the role of the corporate sector in relation to weak governance structures.

2011/2012Titolo: “L’immigrazione femminile in Italia tra paese di accoglienza e di origine: welfare, co-sviluppo e questioni sociali a cavallo tra due mondi. Le badanti rumene in Italia” Caso : Caratteristiche e strategie delle badanti rumene in Italia in rapporto allo sviluppo nel paese d’ origine e in quello di arrivo. Tema : Migrazione di genere, lavoro di cura, rimesse, co-welfare, transnazionalismo, welfare transnazionale, reti migratorie. Constatazione : Le migranti rumene mirano al benessere ed ad uno standard di vita più elevato per i familiari da loro dipendenti che rimangono in patria attraverso l’ invio di rimesse e sfruttando il differenziale salariale. Per raggiungere tale obiettivo si spostano in uno spazio circolare transnazionale, sfruttando risorse comunitarie e nuovi dispositivi legati alla migrazione, creando sviluppo nel loro paese di origine e sopperendo a gap strutturali (carenza di welfare istituzionale) in quello di arrivo. Domanda di partenza: con quali modalità e in che misura le donne migranti rumene (lavoratrici di cura) sono portatrici, attraverso l’ attivazione di strategie migratorie, di istanze di sviluppo nei paesi di origine e di arrivo? Direzione : Famiglie transnazionali, specializzazione etnica del lavoro di cura, rimesse, transnazionalismo, welfare familistico. Dominio : Sociologia delle relazioni interetniche, Sociologia delle migrazioni, Welfare state policies, EU social policy, Social psychology of intergroup relations. Il tema della ricerca riguarda le donne rumene immigrate in Italia che lavorano nel settore della cura come badanti. La ricerca è stata svolta in Sicilia, in Provincia di Trapani. Tali donne hanno, generalmente, lasciato la famiglia in patria a cui inviano i guadagnati percepiti e vivono in co-residenza con gli anziani che accudiscono. Per tamponare la mancanza della famiglia creano delle reti informali che fungono come motore di ricerca del lavoro e come gruppo di mutuo aiuto. La metodologia impiegata è quella propria della ricerca sociologica e si è articolata in più fasi. La scelta del target e del contesto di installazione non è casuale: quella delle badanti rumene è una realtà in rapidissima espansione a causa della sempre maggior richiesta di lavoratori di cura a basso costo, alla carenza di strutture pubbliche in grado di accogliere il numero crescente di anziani non auto-sufficienti e ai costi proibitivi delle strutture private e dell’ assistenza domiciliare autoctona (quando disponibile). La diffusione delle badanti si lega da un lato alla centralità che ancora ricopre la famiglia in Italia come luogo di tutela e protezione e come canale di mediazione sociale, e dall’ altro ad un welfare che ha delegato alle donne della famiglia la soddisfazione dei bisogni connessi alla riproduzione quotidiana. Il ricorso massiccio a un mercato della cura straniero flessibile, a prezzi contenuti e apparentemente illimitato, sembra la chiave per conservare il tradizionale welfare familista, tipico dei regimi mediterranei. L’impiego di donne immigrate come collaboratrici familiari e aiutanti domiciliari viene visto allora come una risorsa per puntellare le difficoltà sempre più evidenti delle famiglie (e delle donne sposate italiane) nel reggere carichi domestici e assistenziali crescenti. Il modello italiano di welfare risulta insostenibile alla luce delle proiezioni demografiche, e risolvendosi in assunzione di un’assistente familiare al nero legittima il welfare sommerso e parallelo. Alle badanti si richiede spesso un notevole investimento emotivo nel lavoro con l'anziano senza considerare invece la loro difficoltà a gestire a distanza il rapporto con la loro famiglia e i loro figli. Il carico di lavoro troppo pesante dopo anni può condurle ad uno stato depressivo e di disorientamento. I figli, lasciati nel paese di origine, sono affidati a “figure sostitutive” quali nonne, sorelle, vicini, meno spesso sono i padri che se ne prendono cura. Le madri, pur vivendo in paesi diversi da quelli dei figli, cercano di tenere vivi da lontano i contatti e la partecipazione alle vicende e alle scelte familiari e adottano strategie transnazionali. Nella creazione e nel mantenimento di reti, familiari o estese, le donne sono spesso le principali protagoniste attive e giocano un ruolo centrale nella formazione di reti, benché le reti familiari non siano una semplice trasposizione delle reti esistenti: sotto l'effetto della migrazione, l'unità familiare tende a ricomporsi e reinventarsi costantemente. Le strategie migratorie sono inquadrate principalmente nella cornice della minimizzazione dei rischi e della massimizzazione delle aspettative di riuscita nelle economie globalizzate. La migrazione dalla Romania verso l’ Italia, crea vuoti di di cura (care drain). Esiste una forte interdipendenza tra i nostri sistemi di welfare e quelli dei Paesi di origine delle badanti e quindi una conseguente necessità di pensare a politiche transnazionali che tengano conto di questi squilibri. È a questo proposito che gli studiosi del fenomeno parlano di welfare transnazionale: un welfare che tenga conto di politiche varate per soddisfare il paese di arrivo ma anche quello di provenienza, di soluzioni polifoniche e concertate a livello internazionale con ripercussioni sulla dimensione transnazionale della questione, le famiglie.

Texte intégralRésumé :
2012/2013Between 1991 and 1995, close to three hundred thousand people were killed in the former Yugoslavia. The international responses to this catastrophe was at best uncertain and at worst appalling. While both the United States and the European Union initially viewed the Balkan wars as a European problem, the Europeans chose not to take a strong stand, restricting themselves to dispatching U.N. “peacekeepers” to a country where there was no peace keep, and withholding from them the means and the authority to stop the fighting. In Bosnia the Europe sought to avoid military involvement, citing every excuse she could think of not to intervene to prevent the genocide of 250.000 Bosnian Muslims, who ultimately died at the hands of their Serbian tormentors. The British and French, too, who had primarily responsibility for dealing with this European problem, had persuaded the United Nations to impose an arms embargo on both sides in the Bosnian war. As often happens, the embargo did little damage to Serbia’s military capacities, since their army had inherited the extensive military hardware Yugoslavia had amassed under its former Communist regime. But the embargo did deny the means of self-defense to the poorly equipped majority Muslim population in Bosnia. Unarmed, they could do little to repel the invaders or to protect their villages. Some European leaders were not eager to have a Muslim state in the heart of the Balkans, fearing it might become a base for exporting extremism, a result that their neglect made more, not less, likely. However, from the beginning of Yugoslavia’s collapse, Americans divided into two groups, broadly defined: those who thought that Americans should intervene for either moral or strategic reasons, and those who feared that if they did, they would become entangled in a Vietnam-like quagmire. As awareness of ethnic cleansing and genocide spread, the proportion of those who wanted the United States to “do something” increased, but they probably never constituted a majority. Nevertheless, when the situation seemed most hopeless in July 1995 - the United States put its prestige on the line with a rapid and dramatic series of high-risk actions: an all-out diplomatic effort in August, heavy NATO bombing in September, a cease-fire in October, Dayton in November, and, in December, the deployment of twenty thousand American troops to Bosnia. Finally, in late 1995, in the face of growing atrocities and new Bosnian Serb threats, the United States decided to take part in Bosnia, the war was over and the America’s role in post-Cold War Europe redefined. There is a lesson here to be learned by Europe that Bosnian Muslims are the best Christians in the world. The policy-makers cannot have a double heart, one for love and other for hate because some European leaders were not eager to have a Muslim state in the heart of Europe. They spoke of a painful but realistic restoration of Christian Europe. Of course Christianity, like any other religion has nothing to do with the barbarities and the greatest collective failure of Europe. The lesson that Western civilization thought it had drawn from the genocide of World War II – “Never again!”- must now be qualified to read: “except when politically inconvenient.”
La tragedia della ex-Jugoslavia e al suo interno quella della Bosnia Erzegovina riguardano pagine straordinariamente sconvolgenti della storia del mondo posto-Ottantanove, addirittura — si può dire — la conseguenza più grave, anche se non diretta, della dissoluzione dell'Unione Sovietica e conseguentemente di quel bipolarismo che aveva "ingessato" tutte le ipotesi o i tentativi di trasformazione degli esiti e delle conseguenze della seconda guerra mondiale. In un'impostazione sostanzialmente di storia politico-sociale, il candidato ricostruisce le vicende che vanno dal 1990 al 1995, ovvero da quella che il candidato chiama "la morte della Jugoslavia" fino all'intervento, decisivo in termini militari, della NATO nel conflitto, che aveva già visto negli anni precedenti emergere la guerra in Slovenia, in Croazia, prima di colpire anche la Bosnia Erzegovina, con la finale Conferenza che porta agli Accordi di Dayton. L'attore centrale di tutta questa vicenda è naturalmente la Serbia di Milosevic, ricordare il quale non fa che aiutarci a veder riapparire i fantasmi di vicende atroci di sterminio di civili, di stupro etnico, di "pulizia etnica", di genocidio. Il candidato fa opportunamente precedere la sua analisi da una cronologia, piuttosto lunga, che consente di scandire con precisione i diversi passaggi di una storia eccezionalmente drammatica. Segue il programma del suo lavoro, con l'indicazione del metodo di ricerca e degli strumenti di cui si è valso. Le cinque parti sostanziali in cui si suddivide il lavoro riguardano la dissoluzione della Jugoslavia, a partire dai falliti tentativi di Tito di salvaguardare l'integrità di quella Federazione, e analizzando attentamente i due "scivolamenti" della guerra in Slovenia dapprima e in Croazia poi. Il candidato analizza la società e la storia della Bosnia Erzegovina, condizione ovviamente preliminare per comprendere gli eventi successivi. Le tre categorie alle quali il candidato riconduce quella vicenda sono il multiculturalismo, la multietnicità e il multiconfessionalismo — tre dimensioni che potrebbero poter essere rispettate e addirittura apprezzate e che invece, in ogni parte del mondo, e più che altrove in Bosnia trovano ostacoli e resistenze violente e sanguinose. Risulta, come il candidato fa notare, adottare l'arma del nazionalismo e delle sue retoriche, impedendo così a ogni pur volenteroso tentativo di portare la democrazia nel proprio paese di trionfare. Il candidato chiarisce, in questo quadro, che la cosiddetta "balcanizzazione" che si fa discendere da quella parte del mondo, non deve essere intesa come un termine negativo ma come la pura e semplice conseguenza dei frequenti interventi esterni che là si sono realizzati. Il candidato dedica non poca attenzione al ruolo degli Stati Uniti nella vicenda, e alle diverse strategie — politiche e militari — adottate: con i devastanti risultati che tuttavia, purtroppo, conosciamo. L’Unione Europea non esce ovviamente meglio dell'alleato d'oltre Atlantico dalla ricostruzione del candidato, che poi giunge anche a ripercorrere le vicende di alcuni importanti uomini politici locali, sopra tutti Izebegovic e Karadzic, l'un contro l'altro schierati. Né sono passate sotto silenzio le vicende di alcune delle pagine più drammatiche: il massacro di Srebrenica, i bombardamenti su Sarajevo e in particolare il secondo bombardamento sul mercato. La risoluzione della crisi giunse, come per incanto, quando la NATO accolse l'invito ONU di intervenire: l'intervento fece tacere le armi, portò agli accordi di Dayton, ma non alla riconciliazione, che dal 1995 ha comunque incominciato il suo lento, ma — sperabilmente — solido cammino.

Texte intégralRésumé :
2012/2013First and second chapter deals with classical problems in terms of state, nation, people, minority, society. BiH was dealing with frequent change of state polity and therefore fallowing influence to the social and cultural change of its people. At the end the individual and collective identity modifications created distinct value disagreements. BiH society is confronting dichotomy in its ethnic affiliations regarding the concept of “multiculturalism” among the Bosniaks’ majority and other two constitutive people Serbs and Croats in terms of three B, believing/belonging/becoming. One will say that ethnicity is a changeable socially constructed concept like e.g. the class, race, etc. another will accentuate the natural constant of ethnic solidarity and the third will emphasize the long-term effects of institutional and cultural environment of ethnic relations. The theoretical framework in the context of ethnographic data is necessary to reach a social and cultural maturity. BiH was experiencing the process of territorial and constitutional transformation after the dissolution of common state of Yugoslavia. Constitutional order of 1995 created complex decision making system and complex state structure blocking the state functions and creating the frequent political, economic and social crises. As a part of international peace agreement the forcible Constitution created unequal standing for three constitutive peoples, the “Others” and citizens of BiH. In its end line it froze the war territorial division. The term “constitutive” people were taken from the last Yugoslav constitution where the state sovereignty was diffused between different holders: the peoples and republics and at the end conditioned by consensus. The reinforced EU presence is a crossforce in supporting the domestic stakeholders and BiH citizens in the EU integration process as well in sooner closure of the OHR and transfer of competencies to the state of BiH and to the other domestic stakeholders. The initiation of “late” approval of crucial laws of BiH e.g. the Law on citizenship, the Law on residence and the Law on Personal identification number happened under the pressure of civil society with “baby revolution”. In the last chapter the accent is on good practice examples of Crossborder Cooperation Program Croatia/BiH 2007-2013 aiming the better quality of life of people in the border region of Una-Sana Canton. An opportunity is entrance of Croatia to EU considering that now 2/3 of the internationally recognized BiH’s border is external border of EU now. The European Aid funds are welcomed in this area, although the consumption of funds could be better. Here is to point out a field work in a multicultural environment of the municipality of Bosanski Petrovac where peace agreement of 1995 established an internal administrative boundary line making two municipalities Bosanki Petrovac and Petrovac.
I capitoli primo e secondo trattano di problemi classici in termini di stato, nazione, popolo, minoranza e società. La BiH si confronta con un frequente cambio di sistema politico dello stato e questo influenza il cambiamento sociale e culturale del popolo. Alla fine del processo le differenze individuali e collettive di identità creano diversi aspetti di valore. La BiH sta affrontando una dicotomia nella sue identità etniche sul concetto di "multiculturalismo" tra la maggioranza dei Bosniacchi e gli altri due popoli costitutivi Serbi e Croati in termini di tre B, credere/appartenere/diventare (believing/belonging/becoming). Alcuni dicono che l'etnicità è un mutevole concetto sociale, altri accentuano la costante di solidarietà etnica e i terzi mettono in risalto gli effetti a lungo termine del contesto istituzionale e culturale delle relazioni etniche. Il quadro teorico nel contesto dei dati etnografici è necessario per raggiungere una maturità sociale e culturale. La BiH sta vivendo il processo di trasformazione territoriale e costituzionale dopo la dissoluzione dello stato comune della Jugoslavia. L’ordine costituzionale ha creato un complesso sistema decisionale ed una struttura statale complessa, bloccando le funzioni dello stato e provocando le frequenti crisi politiche, economiche e sociali. La Costituzione della BiH, che fa parte dell’accordo internazionale di pace del 1995, ha creato una disugualianza tra i tre popoli costitutivi, gli "Altri" ed i cittadini della BiH. Il termine del popolo "costitutivo" è stato preso dall'ultima costituzione jugoslava dove la sovranità statale viene trasmessa tra i popoli e le repubbliche condizionato dal consenso instituzionale. La presenza rafforzata dell'UE ha una ambiguità nel sostenere i titolari del potere nazionale ed i cittadini della BiH nel processo di integrazione europea. Attualmente non esiste una volontà politica per la chiusura finale dell'OHR e per il trasferimento delle competenze all’amministrazione statale ed alle altre parti interne. La procedura di approvazione "in ritardo" delle leggi fondamentali della BiH, ad esempio la legge sulla cittadinanza, la legge sulla residenza e sul numero di identificazione personale, è avvenuta sotto la pressione della società civile con la "baby rivoluzione". Nell'ultimo capitolo l'accento è sugli esempi di buona pratica di cooperazione transfrontaliera e di programma Croazia/Bosnia-Erzegovina (CBC Cr/BiH) per una migliore qualità della vita delle persone nella regione di confine, Cantone Una-Sana. Un'opportunità di sviluppo economico è l'ingresso della Croazia nell'UE, considerando che oggi i 2/3 della frontiera della BiH riconosciuta a livello internazionale è frontiera esterna dell'UE. I fondi degli aiuti europei sono presenti in questa regione, anche se la loro l’utilizzazione potrebbe essere migliore. Si evidenzia anche una ricerca in ambiente multiculturale nel territorio di Bosanski Petrovac dove l’accordo di pace del 1995 ha creato una linea di confine interna creando due comuni, quello di Bosanski Petrovac e quello di Petrovac.

Preda, Gabriela. « PUBLIC DIPLOMACY IN PRACTICE : MANAGING DIVERGENT LOGICS OF COMMUNICATION IN EU-RUSSIA RELATIONS- What role for presidential summits ? » Doctoral thesis, Università degli studi di Trieste, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/10077/10085.
Texte intégralRésumé :
2011/2012This dissertation explores the intricate relationship between European Union (EU) and The Russian Federation (referred to as Russia), through the lens of communication and public diplomacy practices. It sheds light on the question: Why do EU and Russia still lack the setup to map out a joint strategy for managing bilateral communications, despite their mutually acknowledged need to strengthen their comprehensive strategic partnership?. The overall claim is that, although both sides constantly reaffirm their “strong commitment” to an authentic strategic partnership on the axis Brussels-Moscow and to an enhanced bilateral communication, in reality the two actors have always maintained a certain distance in the public sphere and have never stopped perpetuating conflicting narratives on the evolution of their relationship (grounded in divergent vocabularies), while competing for the greatest possible domination of the political communication arena , as part of what appears a wide-ranging competition to sway international policy-making and gain political control when addressing common issues or concerns. In particular, the dissertation draws attention on some of the key distinctive features that typify communication practices in EU-Russian relations, whereby the two actors constantly compete for both access to and influence over the (inter)national media (over international agenda building and frame building as one central strategic activity of their public diplomacy processes). In this sense, it emphasizes the case of presidential summits, presented as a key indicator of a particularly complex relationship between these two partners gradually drifting apart. The assumption is that the “fight”/competition between EU and Russia for the greatest possible domination of the political communication arena (media access and media framing) has alwas been a central element of these events, with both actors realizing that sympathetic media coverage is a prerequisite for political influence. On this point, the thesis identifies various divergent framings in EU and Russian public messages, media statements, discourses and press releases distributed on these occasions, which address common issues or concerns. Temporally, the period between 1998 and 2013 /January 2014 is essential to empirically map EU-Russia interactions in this specific settings and to derive the relevant conclusions. The dissertation speaks to various bodies of literature, as my investigation requires an interdisciplinary approach, while employing various theories and concepts, with emphasis on international relations, communications and public diplomacy. It will hopefully provide a useful baseline for future research and debates as it offers useful insights on the peculiar interplay between public diplomacy and realpolitik dynamics on the international political communication scene. -----------------------------------------------Questo ricerca ha l’obiettivo di indagare ed analizzare alcuni aspetti chiave dei rapporti tra l’Unione Europea (UE) e la Russia, con una particolare attenzione alle dinamiche che riguardano la comunicazione e i canali della diplomazia pubblica negli ultimi decenni. L’analisi affronta alcuni nodi problematici ed ancora irrisolti, concentrandosi su casi ed aspetti specifici, quali per esempio quello dei canali della diplomazia pubblica russa ed europea o del significato dei summit presidenziali UE-Russia. La tesi incrocia vari temi di attualità e dibattiti internazionali attinenti la diplomazia pubblica e al rapporto tra le sue fonti intenzionali e quelle non intenzionali o il dibattito sulle sfide dei rapporti istituzionali UE-Russia.

This chapter examines the ground-level experiences of early Puerto Rican colonial migrants to Hawaiʻi, including the labor recruitment process and daily circumstances, as well as reactions to these policies. It describes how independent labor companies used promises of higher wages and better living conditions to entice legally mobile Puerto Ricans to leave for Hawaiʻi and fill the vast labor needs of the islands. The chapter begins with a discussion of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters Association's recruitment process for Puerto Rican laborers, along with the Puerto Ricans' intra-colonial journey to Hawaiʻi. It then considers the conditions that Puerto Ricans found upon their arrival in Hawaiʻi and how the islands' plantation management worked hard to positively portray life on sugar plantations to maintain access to laborers. It also explores the Puerto Rican government's protests against Hawaiʻi's recruitment policies and the conflicts among the U.S. imperial bureaucracy over the issue of recruitment.

This publication shares perspectives built on teacher training, educational policies, the profession and other educational settings related to teaching, learning and research. From a collection of texts, it reveals walks through research and pedagogical experiences built in the school's daily life, which is an incarnated and reconfigured scenario in the lives of teachers who appear in publications as authors and/or as collaborators of search. It is an e-book that emerges from the debates held in the Thematic Group gathered at the Colloquium on Teaching and Diversity in Basic Education, organized by the Diverso Research Group, from the State University of Bahia – Uneb and which presents texts that dialogue with the current scenario of the Teaching Profession, considering the professionalization processes with a focus on the teaching career at its different levels and teaching modalities, in addition to enabling the broadening of the debate about the collective organization of the category in view of the current educational policies and teaching working conditions in a scenario in which the new political and sanitary agendas call the profession to destabilizations, uncertainties and ruptures.

This chapter examines the Communist-led peace movement and analyzes its propaganda. Like show trials, the peace movement spread a similar set of messages around the Soviet bloc and throughout the world. Unlike the show trials, peace discourse was primarily concerned with revealing the truth of the warmongering West. For example, peace activists detailed American war crimes in Korea and exposed American racist policies at home. Within Eastern Europe, peace activism became a part of daily life as both urban and rural populations were pressured to take part in various peace campaigns. In the United States, in contrast, supporting the peace movement was vilified as support for Communism. From the American perspective, the global peace movement of the 1950s only told lies.

This chapter examines the social impact of language policy and planning (LPP) in the daily life of Wichi communities in Argentina. The analysis shows how languages and bilingualism, categorized as a specific resource to access public positions in deprived regions in Argentina, define a disputed territory and shape social conflicts among groups. The chapter focuses on the Argentinean region known as El Impenetrable, where new language policies are transforming health and educational institutions traditionally managed by non-indigenous people. The presence of new actors in public institutions, assessed with relation to language competences, and the setting of a new political agenda can be explained from local and global processes where public decisions are rooted. Ethnographic sociolinguistics and discourse analysis are combined in a methodological approach to LPP that takes into account the interplay of different voices in relation to local and social transformations regarding indigenous language uses and values.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The book considers illegality, deportability, and deportation in the lives of young people—those who migrate as well as those who are affected by the migration of others. A primary focus of the volume is to understand how children and youth encounter, move through, or are outside of a range of legal processes, including border enforcement, immigration detention, federal custody, courts, and state processes of categorization. Even if young people do not directly interact with state immigration systems—because they are U.S. citizens or have avoided detention—they are nonetheless deeply impacted by the reach of the government in its many forms. Combining different perspectives from advocates, service providers, attorneys, researchers, and, significantly, young immigrants, the book presents ethnographically rich accounts that can contribute to informed debates and policy reforms. By underscoring the ways in which young people encounter and/or avoid legal systems, the book problematizes the policies, laws, and legal categories that shape so much of daily life of young immigrants. The book makes visible the burdens, hopes, and potential of a population of young people and their families who have been largely hidden from public view and are currently under siege, following young people as they move into, through, and out of the complicated immigration systems and institutions in the United States.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The Foundational Economy encompasses those goods and services, together with the economic and social relationships that underpin them, that provide the everyday infrastructure of civilized life. Policies that promote commodification, privatization and financialisation have incorporated many of these goods and services within market logics, with profound and damaging impacts on the daily lives of citizens. This edited collection extends theoretical and empirical work on the Foundational Economy to explore its relevance to the civil sphere and to civil repair. Our aim is to advance foundational thinking in three key areas. First, we set out detailed evidence on the impact of growth based and financialised solutions on local democracy, citizenship and civil society and explore alternative approaches to citizenship and social justice that are rooted in the Foundational Economy. Second, we provide, for the first time, important comparative perspectives on the development of foundational thinking. And third we document detailed and critical case studies in core areas of economic and social life. Addressing a range of substantive areas of concern, individual chapters use case studies at different national and regional levels to illustrate the arguments being developed. This unique collection demonstrates that there is clear evidence that The Foundational Economy is already influencing policy making at devolved nation and city region scales and is having international reach. In contrast to exclusively ‘bottom-up’ approaches however, we maintain that a Foundational Economy approach requires us to address the key institutions of our societies and the role of public action in those institutions.

Texte intégralRésumé :
There is much we can learn about conservation from native peoples, says Gene Anderson. While the advanced nations of the West have failed to control overfishing, deforestation, soil erosion, pollution, and a host of other environmental problems, many traditional peoples manage their natural resources quite successfully. And if some traditional peoples mismanage the environment--the irrational value some place on rhino horn, for instance, has left this species endangered--the fact remains that most have found ways to introduce sound ecological management into their daily lives. Why have they succeeded while we have failed? In Ecologies of the Heart, Gene Anderson reveals how religion and other folk beliefs help pre-industrial peoples control and protect their resources. Equally important, he offers much insight into why our own environmental policies have failed and what we can do to better manage our resources. A cultural ecologist, Gene Anderson has spent his life exploring the ways in which different groups of people manage the environment, and he has lived for years in fishing communities in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Tahiti, and British Columbia--as well as in a Mayan farmtown in south Mexico--where he has studied fisheries, farming, and forest management. He has concluded that all traditional societies that have managed resources well over time have done so in part through religion--by the use of emotionally powerful cultural symbols that reinforce particular resource management strategies. Moreover, he argues that these religious beliefs, while seeming unscientific, if not irrational, at first glance, are actually based on long observation of nature. To illustrate this insight, he includes many fascinating portraits of native life. He offers, for instance, an intriguing discussion of the Chinese belief system known as Feng-Shui (wind and water) and tells of meeting villagers in remote areas of Hong Kong's New Territories who assert that dragons live in the mountains, and that to disturb them by cutting too sharply into the rock surface would cause floods and landslides (which in fact it does). He describes the Tlingit Indians of the Pacific Northwest, who, before they strip bark from the great cedar trees, make elaborate apologies to spirits they believe live inside the trees, assuring the spirits that they take only what is necessary. And we read of the Maya of southern Mexico, who speak of the lords of the Forest and the Animals, who punish those who take more from the land or the rivers than they need. These beliefs work in part because they are based on long observation of nature, but also, and equally important, because they are incorporated into a larger cosmology, so that people have a strong emotional investment in them. And conversely, Anderson argues that our environmental programs often fail because we have not found a way to engage our emotions in conservation practices. Folk beliefs are often dismissed as irrational superstitions. Yet as Anderson shows, these beliefs do more to protect the environment than modern science does in the West. Full of insights, Ecologies of the Heart mixes anthropology with ecology and psychology, traditional myth and folklore with informed discussions of conservation efforts in industrial society, to reveal a strikingly new approach to our current environmental crises.

AbstractThe emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an unprecedented change in the lifestyle routines of millions of people. Beyond the multiple repercussions of the pandemic, we are also facing significant challenges in the population’s mental health and health programs. Typical techniques to measure the population’s mental health are semiautomatic. Social media allow us to know habits and daily life, making this data a rich silo for understanding emotional and mental well-being. This study aims to build a resilient and flexible system that allows us to track and measure the sentiment changes of a given population, in our case, the Mexican people, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We built an extensive data system utilizing modern cloud-based serverless architectures to analyze 760,064,879 public domain tweets collected from a public access repository to examine the collective shifts in the general mood about the pandemic evolution, news cycles, and governmental policies using open sentiment analysis tools. We provide metrics, advantages, and challenges of developing serverless cloud-based architectures for a natural language processing project of a large magnitude.

This chapter specifically with Internet of Things (IoT), initially presents what exactly it is? It's just a smart route to improving daily life activities by connecting devices to widely used Internet. Then gradually put a view on history, which closely talked about traditional ways of communication mechanisms, moving forward it touches the current ideology of IoT. Further in this chapter authors discussed different aspects of IoT which was explained by different philosophers and it clears the idea of how to introduce, how to learn and how to launch IoT in different sectors (such as education, power generation, water management, road safety, automobiles etc). The practicality of the knowledge explains the usefulness of IoT and also explains how it impacts on the overall growth of the country and why every individual attracted towards this smart network of things.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This chapter addresses the issue of systemic failure and the role that complexity often plays. While the quality of life has risen in the modern world, many daily operations are not as simple as they used to be. The chapter describes several examples of failures (a) in the technological world; (b) in the financial world; and (c) in the economic world. To say that a market economy is self regulating has been proven to be an illusion. The growth of complexity has affected market economies in various ways. Governments’ pursuit of multiple objectives has been one of the major contributors to the complexity: tax systems have become increasingly opaque, open to different interpretation and abuses, as have several public programs. The results of fiscal policy and monetary policy have become more difficult to determine. Complexity has influenced the income distribution by creating asymmetric opportunities for manipulating systems.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The emergence of social networking systems as mainstream applications and an inherent element of daily life is a phenomenon observed throughout the world as the worldwide social media users exceeds 2.7 billion. Similar to other sectors, healthcare organizations have also started benefiting from social media in distinct ways such as collecting feedback, educating, communicating and supporting patients and citizens. Social networks can act as remarkable channels for healthcare providers, governmental institutions, pharmaceutical companies, hospitals and others to educate, communicate to, listen, connect to and engage existing and potential customers, patients, physicians and healthcare professionals. Despite the various benefits offered, health institutions, health professionals and stakeholders are reluctant to utilize social media due to several barriers and lack of expertise. This chapter aims to provide a better understanding on the ways healthcare companies can utilize social networks in detail to overcome use barriers and obtain related benefits.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Aiming to understand the phenomena of language maintenance and shift in Malaysia, this chapter focuses on efforts by Penang's Chinese community to maintain Penang Hokkien alongside other Chinese community languages. The Malaysian Government has explicitly allowed the teaching of Mandarin Chinese in Chinese-medium schools, which resulted in the reduced use of Penang Hokkien and other Chinese community languages among the Malaysian Chinese community. Such a situation has caused sociolinguistic realignment in many Malaysian Chinese families, including in Penang, and raised questions about the survival of these languages in Malaysian society. Based on interviews with participants from Penang's Chinese community, the findings reveal that although past studies have demonstrated a decline in the use of Chinese community languages, the participants expressed their willingness to regularly use them in their daily life in various domains. Despite the announced desuetude of these languages, participants consistently used them and indicated their determination to pass on to the next generation.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The insurance market in each country is an indicator of the economy and sustainable business development. When the stability and well-being of a country reaches a certain level, both workers and employers begin to think about their future, to ensure their old age, to finance the risks that exist in everyone’s life, property insurance, and so on. The rapid aging of the world’s population is depleting the financial capacity of citizens, leading to low levels of health care and pensions. Insurance makes it possible to provide daily human protection – both today and in the future. This leads to two effects – the state has additional long-term funds that provide financing for investment projects, which contributes to the further development of the country’s economy; citizens receive insurance protection, savings for future periods, and thus – protection of human interests. The insurance market in Ukraine is at the stage of constant formation. The main obstacles and problems of its development are the unstable socio-economic situation at the present stage and the peculiarity of the cultural and historical traditions of Ukrainian society, the problems of the COVID–19 pandemic and unstable economic development. Therefore, even with significant changes in the legal framework, the insurance market is quite weak in the economy and requires changes in government regulation, namely: strengthening legal and economic mechanisms to protect the interests of the insured and encourage the public and employers to conclude contracts; improvement of investment and credit legislation, directions and spheres of activity of the insurer.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Chapter 3 deals with women’s less spectacular strategies of quotidian resistance and survival—ṣumūd, as they are often referred to in Palestine. Classic political analysis might consider the silent, ordinary acts that women practice on a daily basis uninteresting, or irrelevant for political change. But the fact that women’s everyday resistance is largely covert does not render it apolitical or without broader significance. The Israeli occupation and settler-colonial policies reach into and dominate the very fine grain of Palestinian everyday life; the everyday and the ordinary today has become a major site where politics is enacted. This chapter argues that women with their daily mundane struggles resist not only the physical occupation of their land and people, but they also the occupation of their mind.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Self-care skills are the everyday tasks undertaken so children are ready to participate in life activities. While they are typically supported by parents or carers in young children, it is expected that children develop independence while getting older and maturing. Self-care skills are assumed as precursors for most school-related tasks, are expected to be performed independently, and usually it becomes inappropriate for others to assist for tasks related to these. Assistive technology enhances to strengthen children's ability to participate in eating, dressing, bathing, and personal hygiene routines. As a self-management tool, assistive technology helps children with pervasive developmental disorders or mild intellectual disabilities promote to perform daily tasks involved in activities related to self-care skills. In this chapter, first, information about self-care problems with a focus on children with pervasive developmental disorders is given. Then, opportunities, challenges, and assistive tools are presented. Finally, future research directions in this domain are stated.

This chapter analyses the impact of the sudden closure of Qatar’s only land boundary and most of the surrounding sea- and airspace on 5 June 2017 on a Qatari economy that was heavily reliant upon international supply chains for most necessary items in daily and commercial life. It examines the range of remedial measures taken to reduce economic risk and financial volatility, as well as the longer-term policies that were implemented as the blockade stretched into months and then years, and which created new economic and trading realities. These include the economic and financial responses that aimed to reassure foreign investors, the restructuring of trade routes, and the expansion of domestic food and manufacturing sectors.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This chapter highlights aspects of water’s call to the human spirit from a personal perspective. It raises questions about values, priorities, and policies as communities look to the future of water scarcity. In addition to playing a fundamental role in daily life, water is also important psychologically and culturally. How can communities preserve water for animal habitats, scenic beauty, and recreation as well as drinking water and irrigation? The history of Elkhorn Creek in Franklin County illuminates the efforts of people joining forces to preserve access to this valuable creek and illustrations the love of water developed through recreational activities like whitewater paddlesports that drives communities to protect water quality and access.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Various industries related to daily life are related to the precision machinery industry (PMI). With the pace of Industry 4.0, PMI is one of the industries with great development potential. Renewal progress has not only caused changes in life but also revealed a significant impact on occupations. In recent years, the rise of Industry 4.0 has increased the output value of various industries. The launch of Industry 4.0 has led to global manufacturing initiatives to improve production efficiency and to reduce its burden. In order to increase its industrial benefit as the goal, it is important to discuss the problems and challenges that people face. Therefore, this study uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method to focus on the objectives of the research on the critical success factors of intelligentization in PMI. This study not only expects to provide the existing machinery manufacturing industry and the management policies for the future investment in PMI manufacturer reference value but also expects to serve as an academic reference for government policy considerations and scholars in the machinery manufacturing industry.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The long-term management of a production asset raises several major issues among which rank the technical management of the plant, its economics and the fleet level perspective one has to adopt. Decision-makers are therefore faced with the need to define long term policies (up to the end of asset operation), which take into account multiple criteria including safety (which is paramount) and performance. In this paper we remind the reader of the EDF three-level methodology for asset management. As introduced in PVP 2003, this methodology provides decision-makers with indicators to evaluate the status of a plant. The methodology addresses the component/technical level (how to safely operate daily and invest for the future), the plant level (how to translate technical decisions into plant-wide consequences including economic performance) and the fleet level (how to manage a large number of similar assets). Identifying what might occur to ageing plant components, how operations or maintenance decisions might influence these occurrences and what the consequences of these decisions and events might have on plant operation, is definitely an expert task. In order to gather, preserve, share, maintain and exploit this expert knowledge, we therefore relied on a “knowledge modeling” activity. This activity is used to support the asset management evaluation methodology. We detail the knowledge model — an entity/relation expert description of the plant life-management domain — on which our three-level methodology relies. Lastly, we focus on the software tool that implements this model in order to allow decision-makers to define, analyze and evaluate long-term plant operation and maintenance policies.

Territorial symbolism, cultural identity and vernacular architecture. » Dans HERITAGE2022 International Conference on Vernacular Heritage : Culture, People and Sustainability. Valencia : Universitat Politècnica de València, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/heritage2022.2022.14244.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This paper addresses the relationship between identity and territory from a cultural geography perspective. The case of study is the Popocatépetl Volcano settlements in central Mexico. Natural and social features that have determined the traditional local building and urban spacial solutions are considered. The theoretical approach is based on hermeneutics theories, namely, the symbolic-cultural appropriation of the territory, based on the meaning and symbolism underlying the cultural identity of the communities’ territorial ways of life. It is supported by the results of field research carried out over three years in two towns where university students and local people joined. According to Giménez, whose theory is fundamental for this study, the territories hold a symbolism for the peoples and their history, from which it follows that in rural areas spatial decisions respond mainly to cultural factors. The meaning that ancestral territories comprise for ethnic and mestizo groups, as well as their attachment explains the conception of being places of anchoring collective memory, in the author terms. The latter will be explained through the local vernacular constructive solutions of the volcano towns, their streets and trails, the complementary spaces and elements of daily community life such as orchards and barns. This paper does not overlook the current matter and issues that have arisen after several governmental policies, that together with real estate and cement companies, have disrupted local quality of life, people values and their idiosyncrasies. The cultural development of these towns took centuries to achieve; the mastery of the trades from the knowledge of the materials, among others. Three decades have sufficed for the globalization interests disguised as progress, to make local people let go their ancestral knowledge on how to build their dwellings and how to solve their public spaces. All these is in detriment of the natural resources leading to a loss of balance between human space and nature.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The long term management of a production asset raises several major issues, among which rank the technical management of the plant, its economics and the fleet level perspective one has to adopt. Decision makers are therefore faced with the need to define long term policies (until the end of the life of the asset) which take into account multiple criteria including safety (which is paramount) and performance. In this paper we describe the French context where EDF (Electricite´ de France) is both Plant Owner and Operator of a fleet of 58 PWRs. We introduce a three-level methodology for asset management: the component / technical level (how to safely operate daily and invest for the future), the plant level (how to translate technical decisions into plant-wide consequences including economic performance) and the fleet level (how to manage a large number of similar assets). We then focus on the theoretical and practical links one can draw between the component level and the plant level. We describe several plant-wide indicators that are used to assess the value of the asset and we show how they can be inferred from the component-level technical and economic assessment (long-term equipment reliability, maintenance strategies, ...) by « rolling up » component level plans into a plant-wide decision process while taking into account the various sources of uncertainty associated with this assessment. We finally exemplify how this process could be applied to the life management of nuclear assets. To conclude, it appears asset management can be a major means for assessing and enhancing the long term value of a production unit while meeting everyday constraints.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Today, the world is going through an unprecedented wave of urbanization, an evolution that tends to focus on both the biggest social problems and the biggest opportunities in the area of big cities. Once the concept of "smart city" appeared brought its new challenges for our society. In addition to the many benefits, such as increased quality of life, a smart city is challenging the current government. The security of the citizens in the smart cities is gaining new perspective, but also brings a number of threats, mostly considering the strategies regarding counter-terrorism. The human component, specifically the workforce adapted to the smart city, faces new challenges: the emergence of artificial intelligence, increased demand for digital skills, a must have also in labour market, together with the technologization of all areas of activity, which produces changes in all aspects of daily life. Under these conditions, the human factor is affected by all these changes. One side of the story regards the training and, also, the education of individuals, which must increase digitalisation skills; the other side involves the government who must adapt its strategies and policies to enable these changes in a safe manner for citizens and public workers, who perpetuate these changes through local administrations. Therefore, human resources are an important component in the project that aims developing smart cities that includes also developing adapted protection for citizens, specific to these cities. The use of artificial intelligence in smart cities seems to be the solution to the problems raised by smart cities in relation to the human factor and its vulnerability. But at what cost?

Texte intégralRésumé :
Background: COVID-19 has impacted the daily life of older adults, originating symptoms of depression which might influence cognitive performance. There is a need thus for papers which document such relations. Objective: Investigate the presence of depression symptoms in older adults and their relations to cognitive performance in the pandemic framework. Methods: Cross-sectional study in which the Brazilian telephone version of the Mini Mental State Examination (Braztel-MMSE) and the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS15) were employed, as well as a question which examined the perception of changes in mood and anxiety due to the pandemic. Results: The analyzed sample was comprised of 428 older adults with an average age of 67.54±5.65 years and average education level of 14.72±3.54 years. The average score of Braztel-MMSE was 20.24±1.49 and that of GDS15 was 3.39±4.00. The Spearman correlation coefficient was a significant rho= -0.10 (p=0.034). 71% of those surveyed noticed mood and/ or anxiety changes and only those showed a significant correlation between Braztel-MMSE and GDS15 of rho= -0.17 (p=0.003). Conclusion: Results show an association between depression symptoms and cognitive performance. Such an association has been more evident when analyzing changes in mood and/ or anxiety during the pandemic. Such findings contribute to the planning of services and public policies to older adults in the current framework.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract This paper aims to detail key success factors in understanding the effective principles of managing the health and well-being of the contractor workforce during and post pandemics, specifically for organizations in the oil, gas and energy industry. Furthermore, it shall provide insights and guidance on how to maintain and enhance contractor workforce experience, particularly during and post the COVID-19 pandemic; detailing the benefits of having well-established health management programs designed specifically for the contractor workforce. The social determinants of health (SDH) can be defined as the social and economic conditions in which people are born, grow, live, learn, work and age. They are nonmedical factors that influence a vast range of health conditions; affecting individuals' overall quality-of-life. Economic policies, social norms and political systems are all examples of forces and factors that shape daily life conditions and affect human health (ODPHP, n.d.; WHO, n.d.a). SDH also encompasses education, employment, socioeconomic status, access to health care, social support as well as neighborhood and physical environment (Artiga and Hinton, 2018). SDH have a crucial influence on health disparities and inequities – "the unfair and avoidable differences in health status seen within and between countries" (CDC, 2020). A well-known key factor in the emergence and perpetuation of health disparities is housing. Several researchers from a diverse array of disciplines explored the various aspects of the association between housing, health and well-being. They endeavored to comprehensively elucidate the major pathways through which housing conditions can negatively impact health equity, with a focus on the broad spectrum of hazardous exposures, their accumulated impact and their historical production. As reported by Rolfe et al. (2020), there is compelling evidence of poor physical health consequences of toxins within homes, damp and mold, cold indoor temperatures, overcrowding, and safety factors. Beyond the aforementioned impacts of physical aspects of housing on physical health, poor housing conditions have also been linked with high risks of poor mental health and well-being (Pevalin et al., 2017).

Texte intégralRésumé :
This study aimed to examine a research tendency through Master's and Doctoral dissertation in South Korea related to school counselors. In this study, school counselors were used in terms that included full-time and contractual counselors. School counselors are teachers who specialize in understanding students' daily psychological counseling, problem behavior and maladaptive counseling and establishing a prevention support system of fundamental reason of problem behavior for students. This is because their tasks required in school are similar. They were deployed to unit schools after Wee Project implemented in 2007 to ensure that students and all students experiencing poor learning and school maladaptation for having a happy school life. This study aimed to lay the foundation for improving and developing policies for improving the welfare and professionalism of school counselors, focusing on the subject of the degree thesis related to school counselors. This study conducted an exploratory study based on the year of publication and topics of the dissertation based on key words extracted from the data. The dissertations were published from 2010 to 2021 and were collected through Riss, a domestic database website in South Korea. This study focused on the frequency of emergence and Word Cloud which shows research tendency based on the year of publication analyzed by the frequency of emergency, title of the dissertation, and key words in abstract of the dissertation extracted from a file in MS Excel from the domestic database homepage. The analysis results of this study are as follows. First, the role and awareness of professional counseling teachers and Wee classes are required. Second, research was conducted to develop the capabilities of school counselors teachers working in the Wee class.it will serve as a foundation for improving professionalism, leading to the protection of ethics as a counselor working in the Wee class and ensuring the rights and welfare of counselors. In order to improve counseling capabilities, supervision and a certain amount of counseling practice are required in the process of training school counselors.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Generating design-enabled innovation implies the identification of social, technological, and cultural changes taking place nowadays and of the opportunities offered by the digital transformation, which enters these processes, playing an important role in all areas of contemporary life, from urban, domestic, health and services in general.In our era, the ambient intelligence pervades objects such as cities; electronic perception systems collect information and data from us, trying to understand our needs and give us answers. Cities are real living laboratories for experimenting new technologies on an urban scale.Big Data management represents one of the critical points of the ongoing revolution. The data can give information about people, understand behaviors, change city policies and so on. Big Data represent a qualitative leap in digital culture; nothing exists in Big Data before questions, explained De Kerckhove [1].“It is also and above all a cognitive revolution, where the answer no longer comes from the question. The large amount of data that comes from the pervasive use of technology already contains all the answers, but it has no value if it is not interrogated with the right questions. As McLuhan says, when all the answers are at hand, it's only the question that matters" [1].The perspective is then reversed: the first step in making society smarter is not to collect as much data as possible or develop an infallible algorithm, but it is necessary to identify the relevant expectations and needs in and for that society and ask the right questions, and to investigate what it represents, in the collective imagination, the quality of life and what technology can generate as a response.The project presented starts from the observation that we are faced with a strong migratory and global tourism flows that are affecting European cities, placing us in front of a growing multiculturalism in urban areas, with consequent issues related to the inclusion of cultural diversity and dialogue. The landscape of cities in many European countries has changed significantly, and the use of public space and services is no longer suited to the needs of multicultural citizens. This phenomenon has developed rapidly, without an adaptation of social policies, services, and spaces to emerging needs, creating evident problems of inclusion and dialogue between different cultures.Digital technologies and ubiquitous computing systems offer many opportunities for designing products and services aimed at increase interaction, collect, and share information, knowledge, emotions, experiences, through platforms that support the increase of social awareness.The research investigates how to use digital technologies and which design strategies and creative, communicative and process paths can be used to promote inclusion through interaction and communication between the different cultures that coexist in the same smart city context.Promoting interaction in public spaces, between citizens with different cultural backgrounds, becomes a crucial element to support social cohesion and to facilitate coexistence between different cultures. Opportunities to mix people in daily life reinforce shared values and goals.One of the best approaches that can be adopted for the design of new urban spaces and services is co-design, which indicates collective creativity as it is applied throughout a design process and involves all stakeholders, encouraging and supporting them to take an active role in this process.Following the indications of Findeli [2], this design research was carried out with the tools of design, and above all with its most original and specific characteristic, the project, developing in this specific case a pilot product-service.The project, funded within the H2020 framework program, made it possible to experiment with design tools to foster the engagement of different cultures present in the urban environment and encourage them to interact with each other, also including other types of stakeholders, from public administration to small/medium enterprises and to third sector associations.All the areas of cultural heritage, tangible, and intangible, where every culture has many stories to tell, have emerged as the most suitable areas for experimenting with new ways of interacting and communicating through which diversity can be encountered and compared. Five design for storytelling strategies guided the project: i) building relevance; ii) design for experience; iii) interactivity; iv) immersion; v) inclusion.[1] De Kerckhove Derrick, Psicologie connettive, Milano, Egea, 2014.[2] Findeli Alain, “Design research-Introduction”, Design Issues n. 15(2), 1999.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Introduction: Brazil is currently living in a scenario of epidemiological transition in health. Simultaneous occurrence of diseases is common to those of developed and underdeveloped countries, thus, facing a major challenge in planning and managing efficient public health policies that cover ongoing transitions. The increase in life expectancy leads to an increase in the incidence of chronic-degenerative diseases such as cancer. The use of the Internet for lectures, courses, and questionnaires, due to agility, low cost, wide reach, and excellent use of responses has been demonstrated as an excellent tool for research and teaching. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the importance and impact of conducting online training courses for primary health care professionals in the screening, identification, and management of breast diseases/ breast cancer. Methodology: This is all cross-sectional and descriptive, carried out through the selection of 80 physicians and 100 nurses from primary health care in the municipality of Foz do Iguaçu by virtual communication and link to attend the course with mastological content elaborated from the Mastology Treaty of the Brazilian Mastology Society. Online lecture was held by shared platform with later discussion and clarification, application of a virtual questionnaire on the perception of the importance of the lecture content in their daily activities, and assimilation of the content. The value of the answers to the questionnaire was determined according to the profession and time of graduation. Results: We observed a higher access among nursing professionals when compared with physicians, 46%×28%. The group of physicians, mean age of 39.7 years, ranging from 28 to 56 years, equally distributed between 3 and 5 years, 5 and 10 years, and more than 10 years were formed. Regarding nursing, the groups with mean age of 36.9 years, ranging from 23 to 57 years, predominantly professionals with more than 10 years were formed (60.9%). All participants found this study useful or very useful for their professional activities. We observed a performance higher than 75% in correct answers to the questions in 61% and 56% of medical professionals and nurses, respectively, and close to 80% with performance higher than 50% in both groups. Among themselves related to the lowest rate of correct answers were the exclusion of self-examination as a measure of prevention and the higher rate are the indications of breast ultrasound complementary to mammography. Conclusion: Online courses for primary care professionals can be considered a useful tool in the training process, with low cost, good results, and great acceptance.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Key Message Ontario long-term care (LTC) home residents have experienced disproportionately high morbidity and mortality, both from COVID-19 and from the conditions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. There are several measures that could be effective in preventing COVID-19 outbreaks, hospitalizations, and deaths in Ontario’s LTC homes, if implemented. First, temporary staffing could be minimized by improving staff working conditions. Second, homes could be further decrowded by a continued disallowance of three- and four-resident rooms and additional temporary housing for the most crowded homes. Third, the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection in staff could be minimized by approaches that reduce the risk of transmission in communities with a high burden of COVID-19. Summary Background The Province of Ontario has 626 licensed LTC homes and 77,257 long-stay beds; 58% of homes are privately owned, 24% are non-profit/charitable, 16% are municipal. LTC homes were strongly affected during Ontario’s first and second waves of the COVID-19 pandemic. Questions What do we know about the first and second waves of COVID-19 in Ontario LTC homes? Which risk factors are associated with COVID-19 outbreaks in Ontario LTC homes and the extent and death rates associated with outbreaks? What has been the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the general health and wellbeing of LTC residents? How has the existing Ontario evidence on COVID-19 in LTC settings been used to support public health interventions and policy changes in these settings? What are the further measures that could be effective in preventing COVID-19 outbreaks, hospitalizations, and deaths in Ontario’s LTC homes? Findings As of January 14, 2021, a total of 3,211 Ontario LTC home residents have died of COVID-19, totaling 60.7% of all 5,289 COVID-19 deaths in Ontario to date. There have now been more cumulative LTC home outbreaks during the second wave as compared with the first wave. The infection and death rates among LTC residents have been lower during the second wave, as compared with the first wave, and a greater number of LTC outbreaks have involved only staff infections. The growth rate of SARS-CoV-2 infections among LTC residents was slower during the first two months of the second wave in September and October 2020, as compared with the first wave. However, the growth rate after the two-month mark is comparatively faster during the second wave. The majority of second wave infections and deaths in LTC homes have occurred between December 1, 2020, and January 14, 2021 (most recent date of data extraction prior to publication). This highlights the recent intensification of the COVID-19 pandemic in LTC homes that has mirrored the recent increase in community transmission of SARS-CoV-2 across Ontario. Evidence from Ontario demonstrates that the risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks and subsequent deaths in LTC are distinct from the risk factors for outbreaks and deaths in the community (Figure 1). The most important risk factors for whether a LTC home will experience an outbreak is the daily incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infections in the communities surrounding the home and the occurrence of staff infections. The most important risk factors for the magnitude of an outbreak and the number of resulting resident deaths are older design, chain ownership, and crowding. Figure 1. Anatomy of Outbreaks and Spread of COVID-19 in LTC Homes and Among Residents Figure from Peter Hamilton, personal communication. Many Ontario LTC home residents have experienced severe and potentially irreversible physical, cognitive, psychological, and functional declines as a result of precautionary public health interventions imposed on homes, such as limiting access to general visitors and essential caregivers, resident absences, and group activities. There has also been an increase in the prescribing of psychoactive drugs to Ontario LTC residents. The accumulating evidence on COVID-19 in Ontario’s LTC homes has been leveraged in several ways to support public health interventions and policy during the pandemic. Ontario evidence showed that SARS-CoV-2 infections among LTC staff was associated with subsequent COVID-19 deaths among LTC residents, which motivated a public order to restrict LTC staff from working in more than one LTC home in the first wave. Emerging Ontario evidence on risk factors for LTC home outbreaks and deaths has been incorporated into provincial pandemic surveillance tools. Public health directives now attempt to limit crowding in LTC homes by restricting occupancy to two residents per room. The LTC visitor policy was also revised to designate a maximum of two essential caregivers who can visit residents without time limits, including when a home is experiencing an outbreak. Several further measures could be effective in preventing COVID-19 outbreaks, hospitalizations, and deaths in Ontario’s LTC homes. First, temporary staffing could be minimized by improving staff working conditions. Second, the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection in staff could be minimized by measures that reduce the risk of transmission in communities with a high burden of COVID-19. Third, LTC homes could be further decrowded by a continued disallowance of three- and four-resident rooms and additional temporary housing for the most crowded homes. Other important issues include improved prevention and detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection in LTC staff, enhanced infection prevention and control (IPAC) capacity within the LTC homes, a more balanced and nuanced approach to public health measures and IPAC strategies in LTC homes, strategies to promote vaccine acceptance amongst residents and staff, and further improving data collection on LTC homes, residents, staff, visitors and essential caregivers for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. Interpretation Comparisons of the first and second waves of the COVID-19 pandemic in the LTC setting reveal improvement in some but not all epidemiological indicators. Despite this, the second wave is now intensifying within LTC homes and without action we will likely experience a substantial additional loss of life before the widespread administration and time-dependent maximal effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines. The predictors of outbreaks, the spread of infection, and deaths in Ontario’s LTC homes are well documented and have remained unchanged between the first and the second wave. Some of the evidence on COVID-19 in Ontario’s LTC homes has been effectively leveraged to support public health interventions and policies. Several further measures, if implemented, have the potential to prevent additional LTC home COVID-19 outbreaks and deaths.
