Abitanti di uno spazio incerto. Pratiche e paradossi in una etnografia tra rifugiati, operatori e diritti sociali.

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 contestoXXV Ciclo197

Positioning, temporality, and emancipation in social research in projects for (or with?) forced migrants : some ethical implications.

In this proposal, we will reflect on some ethical implication of research involved in the co-construction of pilot experiences to support vulnerable persons – in particular asylum seekers and refugees – in their emancipating inclusion in the new countries of arrival. As researchers we have been members of research teams and partners in different EU projects; here we propose to draw on the experience of two European projects, which invested in building pilot experiences to support the inclusion of asylum seekers and refugees at several levels. Both the two projects are still ongoing, and in their final temporal phase. When being part of a projecting process as researchers we deal with our ethical positioning: when constructing the proposal, when interacting with the different target groups, when giving back what has been experienced and analysed, when facing limits and constrains of potential successful pilots’ experiences. For this reason, in the design of multidisciplinary European research, a need to reflect upon and problematize several significant variables arises, and it involves both the resources, times, and vulnerabilities/criticalities of research, as well as the resources, times, and vulnerabilities/criticalities of the target subjects involved. Indeed, although these two planes should ideally align in terms of intentions and ethical considerations, sometimes they conflict. For instance, concerning the aspect of temporality, it is recognized that time represents a key issue in the experience of refugees. Simultaneously, it is acknowledged that time is a crucial factor for the success of the objectives that constitute the research project’s framework. Despite this, the timing of research projects is not always a guarantee for the formation of a new – and better – conception of the temporality of projects aimed at this target group. That being stated, we question how the research timeline is integrated with the migrants’ projects’ temporality and what ethical implications and questions arise from the convergence of these dimensions. Alongside the temporality notion, we also aim to reflect on how to foster the effective promotion of emancipatory change of migrants when research deals with the capitalization of project results. Overall, this contribution aims at investigating the deep interplay between the ethical principles of transformation, the social realities of refugees and migrants, and the actively involved subjectivities within the projects

Study on ammonia transport and separation in Aquivion® perfluoro sulfonated acid membranes

The present study reports the results of a series of sorption and permeation tests of pure ammonia as well as nitrogen and hydrogen carried out on Aquivion C87-05 (short-side chain perfluoro sulfonic acid ionomer). Such material is indeed of interest for possible applications in sustainable processes for ammonia production, either as base material for polymer electrolyte membranes in low-temperature electrochemical ammonia synthesis or as a membrane for effective product separation. NH3, N2, and H2 permeation tests are performed at different temperatures (20, 35, and 50 ◦C) and both in dry and humid conditions (R.H. up to 80%), aiming to assess the influence of these parameters on the resulting permeabilities, while ammonia sorption is inspected at the same temperatures, and pressures up to near saturation conditions. Pure ammonia permeability reached outstanding values around 7000 Barrer in dry Aquivion membranes, revealing an increasing trend with upstream pressure, while it decreased with temperature. The same behavior is recorded for NH3 solubility, indicating that sorption drives the ammonia transport through the membrane. The obtained separation performances are found to be significantly better than those of other polymeric membranes proposed for the same separations, as compared to a permeability-selectivity plot

La storia di Mamadou

In the following pages we propose a patchwork of our memories related to the life of Mamadou, a young refugee who lived and died in Italy. The paper is focusing on the definition of disillusion towards the Italian reception system that not only has been unable to take in charge Mamadou, but became a producer of labels and fragmentation

We have reported that there is no relationship between tobacco use and weight loss after bariatric surgery in the short term. The objective of this study was to establish the relationship between weight loss and the smoking habit in patients undergoing bariatric surgery and to analyze weight loss on severe smokers and on those patients who stopped smoking during the long-term postoperative period. METHODS: One hundred eighty-four patients included in our previous study were contacted by phone at 7 years after sleeve gastrectomy. They were again divided into three groups: (A) smokers, (B) ex-smokers, and (C) non-smokers. Demographics and weight loss at 6, 12, 24, and 7 years were analyzed. Smokers were subdivided for further analysis into the following: group A1: heavy smokers, group A2: non-heavy smokers, group A3: active smokers after surgery, and group A4: quitters after surgery. Student test was used for statistics. RESULTS: One hundred two patients were included. The follow-up was 80.74 ± 7.25 month. Group A: 29 patients, group B: 34 patients, and group C: 39 patients. Mean BMI was 34.35 ± 8.44 kg/m2 and the %EWL was 56.95 ± 27. The subgroup analysis showed the following composition: group A1: 6 patients, group A2: 23 patients, group A3: 23 patients, and group A4: 6 patients. Weight loss difference among groups and subgroups was statistically non-significant. CONCLUSIONS: This study reaffirms the hypothesis that weight loss among bariatric patients is independent from smoking habit even at long-term follow-up and regardless from cessation.http://link.springer.com/10.1007/s11695-018-3217-9info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionFil: Signorini, Franco José.

Impact of probiotic administration on the health and fecal microbiota of young calves: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of lactic acid bacteria

Before weaning, dairy calves are susceptible to many pathogens which can affect their subsequent performance. The use of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) has been identified as a tool to maintain the intestinal microbial balance and to prevent the establishment of opportunistic pathogenic bacterial populations. However, a consensus has not been reached as to whether probiotics may be effective in reducing the prevalence of gastrointestinal diseases in young calves. The aim of this meta-analysis was to assess the effect of probiotics on diarrhea incidence and the intestinal microbial balance. LAB supplementation has been shown to exert a protective effect and to reduce the incidence of diarrhea (relative risk, RR =0.437, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.251 ?0.761). In the subanalysis,this protective effect of the probiotics against diarrhea was observed only in trials that used whole milk (RR=0.154, 95%CI 0.079 ?0.301) and trials that used multistrain inocula (RR=0.415, 95%CI 0.227 ?0.759). Probiotics did not improve the fecal characteristics (standardized mean difference, SMD =0.4904, 95%CI 1.011 ?0.035) and were unable to change the LAB:coliforms ratio (SMD =0.016, 95%CI 0.701 ?0.733). Probiotics showed a beneficial impact on the LAB:coliforms ratio in the subanalysis that included trials that used whole milk (SMD =0.780, 95%CI 0.141 ?1.418)and monostrain inocula (SMD =0.990,95%CI 0.340 ?1.641).The probability of significant effects (probiotic positive effect) in a new study was >0.70 for diarrhea and fecal consistency. Whole milk feeding improved the action of the probiotic effect on the incidence of diarrhea and LAB:coliforms ratio.The probability to find significant effects in the diarrhea frequency and LAB:coliforms ratio was higher (P >0.85) if the new studies were conducted using whole milk to feed calves. This paper defines the guidelines to standardize the experimental designs of future trials. LAB can be used as growth promoters in calves instead of antibiotics to counteract the negative effects of their widespread use.Fil: Signorini Porchietto, Marcelo Lisandro.

Faecal culturable microbiota, growth and clinical parameters of calves supplemented with lactic acid bacteria and lactose prior and during experimental infection with Salmonella Dublin DSPV 595T = Microbiota cultivable fecal, crecimiento y parámetros clínicos de terneros suplementados con bacterias ácido lácticas y lactosa previo y durante una infección experimental con Salmonella Dublin DSPV 595T

The aim of this study was to evaluate the probiotic inoculum + lactose effect on weight, intestinal culturable microbiota, morbidity and mortality of young calves challenged with Salmonella Dublin DSPV 595T. Twenty eight calves were used, divided in control group (CG) and probiotic group (PG). The PG was provided with 100 g lactose.calf-1.d-1 and 1010 CFU.calf-1.d-1 of each strain of a probiotic inoculum composed of Lactobacillus casei DSPV 318T, Lactobacillus salivarius DSPV 315T and Pediococcus acidilactici DSPV 006T throughout the experiment. The pathogen was administered on day 11 of the experiment, at an oral dose of 109 CFU.calf-1. Lactobacillus and yeast populations were modified in PG because of inoculum + lactose administration. Severity of diarrhea was lower in PG. No differences were found on the rest of clinical sings, live weight and mortality between the two groups analysed. The periodic administration of a probiotic inoculum of bovine origin and lactose, favoured the establishment of a more stable and balanced intestinal culturable microbiota, even during an infection with Salmonella. The generated model of acute infection gave opportunity to the probiotic to exert its beneficial effect on severity of diarrhea. However, the use of lower doses of S. Dublin DSPV 595T are recommended for future studies, to generate less severe model in order to evaluate if the inoculum is able to exert a differential response in the clinical symptoms of young calves.El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar el efecto del inoculo probiótico + lactosa sobre el peso, la microbiota intestinal, la morbilidad y la mortalidad de terneros jóvenes desafiados con Salmonella Dublin DSPV 595T.

Al GP se le administró 100 g lactosa.ternero-1.d-1 y 1010 UFC.ternero-1.d-1 de cada cepa de un inoculo probiótico compuesto por Lactobacillus casei DSPV318T, Lactobacillus salivarías DSPV315T y Pediococcus acidilactici DSPV006T a lo largo de todo el experimento. El patógeno fue administrado el día 11 del experimento, en una dosis oral de 109 UFC.animal-1. Las poblaciones de Lactobacillus y levaduras fueron modificadas en el GP a causa de la administración del inóculo + lactosa. La severidad de la diarrea fue menor en el GP. No se encontraron diferencias en el resto de los signos clínicos, el peso vivo y la mortalidad entre los dos grupos analizados. En este estudio, la administración periódica de un inóculo probiótico de origen bovino y lactosa, favoreció el establecimiento de una microbiota intestinal más estable y balanceada, aun durante una infección con Salmonella. El modelo de infección aguda le dio la oportunidad al probiótico de ejercer su efecto benéfico sobre la severidad de la diarrea. Sin embargo, para futuros estudios se recomienda el uso de dosis menores de S. Dublin DSPV 595T para generar un modelo menos severo para evaluar si el inóculo es capaz de ejercer una respuesta diferente en los signos clínicos de terneros jóvenesEEA RafaelaFil: Soto, Lorena Paola.

Further Studies on the Physical and Biogeochemical Causes for Large Interannual Changes in the Patagonian Shelf Spring-Summer Phytoplankton Bloom Biomass

A very strong and persistent phytoplankton bloom was observed by ocean color satellites during September - December 2003 along the northern Patagonian shelf. The 2003 bloom had the highest extent and chlorophyll a (Chl-a) concentrations of the entire Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) period (1997 to present). SeaWiFS-derived Chl-a exceeded 20 mg/cu m in November at the bloom center. The bloom was most extensive in December when it spanned more than 300 km across the shelf and nearly 900 km north-south (35degS to 43degS). The northward reach and the deep penetration on the shelf of the 2003 bloom were quite anomalous when compared with other years, which showed the bloom more confined to the Patagonian shelf break (PSB). The PSB bloom is a conspicuous austral spring-summer feature detected by ocean color satellites and its timing can be explained using the Sverdrup critical depth theory. Based on high-resolution numerical simulations, in situ and remote sensing data, we provide some suggestions for the probable mechanisms responsible for that large interannual change of biomass as seen by ocean color satellites. Potential sources of macro and micro (e.g., Fe) nutrients that sustain the high phytoplankton productivity of the Patagonian shelf waters are identified, and the most likely physical processes that maintain the nutrient balance in the region are discussed

Prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli identified in a slaughterhouse in Argentina

The aim of this study was to evaluate the percentage of Campylobacter (C. jejuni and C. coli) from samples collected at the slaughterhouse to describe the prevalence of resistance to selected antimicrobials, and to characterize the genetic determinants. In total, from 333 samples analyzed, 31% were positive for Campylobacter. More positive samples were detected before the chiller (46%) than after the chiller (16%). C. coli (59%) was more prevalent than C. jejuni (41%). Antimicrobial resistance differences between C. jejuni and C. coli were found (p < 0.001). Multidrug resistance was found in 72% of C. coli isolates and 69% of C. jejuni isolates (p < 0.001). Most C. jejuni isolates (57%) had the three genes of the cmeABC efflux pump. The tet(O) gene and resistance-associated point mutations within both the gyrA and 23S rRNA genes were detected in 100% of C. coli isolates. On the other hand, C. jejuni only had more prevalence of the blaOXA-61 gene than C. coli (p < 0.001), and most of the C. jejuni isolates (70–80%) had the tet(O) and gyrA point mutation. These results could contribute to knowledge about the status of thermotolerant Campylobacter resistant to antimicrobials isolated from food animals in Argentina and to develop an antimicrobial resistance surveillance system.Fil: Schreyer, Mariana.
