Buon cattolico, buon italiano: Shoah, religione e salvataggio degli ebrei in alcune recenti miniserie

The Holocaust features prominently in a number of recent Italian television productions, many of which have focused on\ud members of the Catholic clergy and on secular but pious historical figures. This article argues that such cultural products partake\ud of a broader process of constructing a normative, ‘consensual’, and inherently conservative notion of Italian national identity for\ud the twenty-first century. The chapter will combine two lines of enquiry. Firstly, it will situate these television products in the longterm\ud history of conflicting and often mutually exclusive memory cultures in Italy, each vying for recognition in the public arena\ud throughout the twentieth century. These fractured memory cultures find a common ground in the oft-mentioned myth of the ‘good\ud Italian’. In the context of this long history, the article will then explore the challenge to fixed notions of Italian identity represented\ud by the recent wave of immigration to the country, and television’s insufficient engagement with these developments. In exploring\ud the place of Holocaust narratives in contemporary Italian television, this article examines the medium’s role as public historian and\ud purveyor of far-from-neutral cultural values in a specific moment of the country’s history

Reducing the environmental impact of surgery on a global scale: systematic review and co-prioritization with healthcare workers in 132 countries

Abstract Background Healthcare cannot achieve net-zero carbon without addressing operating theatres. The aim of this study was to prioritize feasible interventions to reduce the environmental impact of operating theatres. Methods This study adopted a four-phase Delphi consensus co-prioritization methodology. In phase 1, a systematic review of published interventions and global consultation of perioperative healthcare professionals were used to longlist interventions. In phase 2, iterative thematic analysis consolidated comparable interventions into a shortlist. In phase 3, the shortlist was co-prioritized based on patient and clinician views on acceptability, feasibility, and safety. In phase 4, ranked lists of interventions were presented by their relevance to high-income countries and low–middle-income countries. Results In phase 1, 43 interventions were identified, which had low uptake in practice according to 3042 professionals globally. In phase 2, a shortlist of 15 intervention domains was generated. In phase 3, interventions were deemed acceptable for more than 90 per cent of patients except for reducing general anaesthesia (84 per cent) and re-sterilization of ‘single-use’ consumables (86 per cent). In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for high-income countries were: introducing recycling; reducing use of anaesthetic gases; and appropriate clinical waste processing. In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for low–middle-income countries were: introducing reusable surgical devices; reducing use of consumables; and reducing the use of general anaesthesia. Conclusion This is a step toward environmentally sustainable operating environments with actionable interventions applicable to both high– and low–middle–income countries

Intermittently Americanized? Italian Debates on Holocaust Cultural Products

Some historians have suggested a causal link between popular anti-Semitism and failing policies to protect the Jews from the Holoacaust. But the US and the UK governments hesitated because they feared it might reduce broad support for the war The allied governments were careful of accepting the first reports about the Holocaust because they were concerned for the safety of their POWs
