The Global Crackdown on Insider Trading: A Silver Lining to the Great Reccession

The wake of the Great Recession marked a period of increased enforcement of insider trading violations by nation-states and self-regulatory organizations overseeing stock markets around the world. Before discussing the heightened global enforcement of insider trading, this Note explains the development of insider trading regulation by focusing on U.S., EU, and China law. This Note argues that the heightened global enforcement of insider trading violations in the wake of the Great Recession is a sign of a shared perception by market regulators around the world that there is a need to restore market confidence. Strong enforcement of insider trading regulations is one way market regulators can restore confidence in their marketplaces by showing all investors that they may indeed sit on equal footing. This facilitation of stock market investment in turn promotes capital market development and enables economic growth

PLEURAL MESOTHELIOMA AND ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE TO MINERAL FIBRES: THA CASE OF A RURAL AREA IN THE BASILICATA REGION, ITALY

The main aspects of the sites characterized by environmental exposure to mineral asbestiform fibres are described. Several adverse health effects including high incidence of pleural mesothelioma are reported. The average concentration of airborne fibres is generally low but it rises significantly in association with mechanical disturb of materials with fibres. Multiple sources of exposure have been identified, fibres can be found in the soil and in many materials locally used, mainly in buildings. Three mesothelioma cases were observed in a small rural area of the Basilicata region (Italy). Two of them had a possible occupational exposure to asbestos, the third had a proved environmental exposure to tremolite. This fibre, found in the area, is the same observed in two of the three biological samples analysed

Consensus Conference Health surveillance of resident population exposed to tremolite in Local Health Unit 3 territory Lagonegro, PZ. Rome 22-23 February 2005

Summary (Consensus Conference “Health surveillance of resident population exposed to tremolite in Local Health Unit 3 territory Lagonegro, PZ”. Rome 22-23 February 2005). Herein is reported the health surveillance document agreed upon during the Consensus Conference held in Rome at the Istituto Superiore di Sanità last year. The aim of the consensus conference was to define guidelines for epidemiologic and health surveillance of the resident population in the area of the Basilicata region exposed to tremolite pollution (Local Health Unit 3 territory Lagonegro, PZ). The health surveillance program for residents and the nested epidemiologic study evaluates for each resident willing to participate, individual exposure with a personal dosimeter, as well as the prevalence of obstructive, restrictive or mixed pulmonary functional patterns, searching for fiber and asbestos bodies in induced-sputum, the prevalence of non malignant asbestos disturbances related to pleural anomalies and, last but not least, provides information on risks and sensitization, advising on personal behaviour that could reduce the risks

Measuring multimorbidity inequality across Italy through the multisource comorbidity score: A nationwide study

none14noBackground: Multimorbidity is a growing concern for healthcare systems, with many countries experiencing demographic transition to older population profiles. A simple multisource comorbidity score (MCS) has been recently developed and validated. A very large real-world investigation was conducted with the aim of measuring inequalities in the MCS distribution across Italy. Methods: Beneficiaries of the Italian National Health Service aged 50-85 years who in 2018 were resident in one of the 10 participant regions formed the study population (15.7 million of the 24.9 million overall resident in Italy). MCS was assigned to each beneficiary by categorizing the individual sum of the comorbid values (i.e. the weights corresponding to the comorbid conditions of which the individual suffered) into one of the six categories denoting a progressive worsening comorbidity status. MCS distributions in women and men across geographic partitions were compared. Results: Compared with beneficiaries from northern Italy, those from centre and south showed worse comorbidity profile for both women and men. MCS median age (i.e. the age above which half of the beneficiaries suffered at least one comorbidity) ranged from 60 (centre and south) to 68 years (north) in women and from 63 (centre and south) to 68 years (north) in men. The percentage of comorbid population was lower than 50% for northern population, whereas it was around 60% for central and southern ones. Conclusion: MCS allowed of capturing geographic variability of multimorbidity prevalence, thus showing up its value for addressing health policy in order to guide national health planning.noneCorrao G.; Rea F.; Carle F.; Di Martino M.; De Palma R.; Francesconi P.; Lepore V.; Merlino L.; Scondotto S.; Garau D.; Spazzafumo L.; Montagano G.; Clagnan E.; Martini N.Corrao, G.; Rea, F.; Carle, F.; Di Martino, M.; De Palma, R.; Francesconi, P.; Lepore, V.; Merlino, L.; Scondotto, S.; Garau, D.; Spazzafumo, L.; Montagano, G.; Clagnan, E.; Martini, N
