Companies Promoting Health: Lombardy WHP Network

Associated Partners in the Work Companies Promoting Health. Lombardy WHP Network: National Health Institute Doutor Ricardo Jorge (INSA), Portugal (Luciana Costa)The program “The Lombardy Workplace Health Promotion Network - has as main objective the promotion of organizational changes in the workplace in order to enable the working environments to the adoption of healthy lifestyles for the prevention of chronic diseases. Chronic diseases represent, in fact, both a health priority and a challenge with social and economic impact for the world of work in the field of management and rehabilitation of workers, also in relationship to the enhancement of human capital. Improving work organization and environment can effectively impact on “Active and Healthy Ageing”, also creating conditions supporting and including older workers and those with chronic diseases or disabilities. The Lombardy WHP Network belongs to the European Network for Workplace Health Promotion ENWHP (http://www.enwhp.org/the-enwhp/members-nco.html).European Commissioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Joint Action CHRODIS Work Package 5 - Good practices in the field of health promotion and chronic disease prevention across the life cycle: outcomes at a glance

Associated Partners in the Work Package 5: National Health Institute Doutor Ricardo Jorge (INSA), Portugal (Luciana Costa)JA-CHRODIS is a European collaboration (Jan 2014 – March 2017) that brings together over 60 associated and collaborating partners from e.g. national and regional departments of health and research institutions, from 26 European countries. These partners work together to identify, validate, exchange and disseminate good practice on chronic diseases across Europe and to facilitate its uptake across local, regional and national borders. The focus is health promotion and primary prevention as well as the care of patients with diabetes or with more than one chronic condition (multimorbidity).This publication arises from the Joint Action CHRODIS, which has received funding from the European Union, in the framework of the Health Programme (2008-2013)

Deliverable 6: Characterisation of manufactured nanomaterials for their clastogenic/aneugenic effects or DNA damage potentials and correlation analysis. Final report.

This document arises from the NANOGENOTOX Joint Action which has received funding from the European Union, in the framework of the Health Programme under Grant Agreement n°2009 21.WP6: In vivo testing of nanomaterial genotoxicityWP6 partners: INSA, IP: Maria João Silva; Ana Tavares, Henriqueta Louro, Nádia VitalObjectives: To generate data from selected in vivo genotoxicity tests, and to assess the correlation between in vivo and in vitro results taking into account the kinetic results. Schedule: The WP6 lasted for 16 months from October 2011 until the end of the Joint Action (February 2013). Few months at the beginning were devoted to trainings and trials before performing the experiments on Manufactured Nanomaterials (MNs). Even though, some last results are not yet available and will be collected after the end of the Joint Action, especially on the micronucleus on colon as well as on histology

Lucky joint action

In this paper, I argue that joint action permits a certain degree of luck. The cases I have in mind exhibit the following structure: each participant believes that the intended ends of each robustly support the joint action. This belief turns out to be false. Due to lucky circumstances, the discordance in intention never becomes common knowledge. However, common knowledge of the relevant intentions would have undermined the joint action altogether. The analysis of such cases shows the extent to which common knowledge of the participants’ intentions can be harmful to joint action. This extends a recent line of research that has questioned the necessity of common knowledge in joint action

Joint action goals reduce visuomotor interference effects from a partner’s incongruent actions

Joint actions often require agents to track others’ actions while planning and executing physically incongruent actions of their own. Previous research has indicated that this can lead to visuomotor interference effects when it occurs outside of joint action. How is this avoided or overcome in joint actions? We hypothesized that when joint action partners represent their actions as interrelated components of a plan to bring about a joint action goal, each partner’s movements need not be represented in relation to distinct, incongruent proximal goals. Instead they can be represented in relation to a single proximal goal – especially if the movements are, or appear to be, mechanically linked to a more distal joint action goal. To test this, we implemented a paradigm in which participants produced finger movements that were either congruent or incongruent with those of a virtual partner, and either with or without a joint action goal (the joint flipping of a switch, which turned on two light bulbs). Our findings provide partial support for the hypothesis that visuomotor interference effects can be reduced when two physically incongruent actions are represented as mechanically interdependent contributions to a joint action goal
