Le lesioni cutanee croniche (LCC) sono una problematica diffusa che impatta fortemente sulla vita delle persone colpite, ma se vengono gestite da gruppi multiprofessionali dedicati alla vulnologia l’assistenza viene ottimizzata e gli esiti clinici migliorano. Nell’ASL TO4, azienda sanitaria piemontese, è stato formalizzato con delibera del Direttore Generale un gruppo di esperti vulnologi denominato Rete Aziendale per il trattamento delle lesioni cutanee croniche il cui principale obiettivo è uniformare i percorsi diagnostici-assistenziali nell’Asl TO4 su prevenzione e cura delle LCC. Nel 2016 l’attività svolta dal gruppo negli ospedali e nei distretti attraverso le consulenze vulnologiche da un lato e con le prestazioni erogate negli ambulatori dall’altro ha preso in carico 504 pazienti; nello stesso periodo il team ha ideato e gestito 4 corsi di formazione su prevenzione e cura delle lesioni da decubito rivolto a dipendenti e Medici di Medicina Generale operanti sul territorio dell’ASL TO4.
Chronic skin lesions (CKL) are a widespread problem that has a strong impact on the lives of affected people, but if they are managed by multi-professional groups dedicated to vulnology, care for them is optimized and clinical outcomes improve. In the ASL TO4, a Piedmontese health company, a group of expert volnologists called 'the Corporate Network for the treatment of chronic skin lesions' was formalized by resolution of the General Manager, whose main objective is to standardize the diagnostic-assistance pathways in the ASL TO4 on prevention and treatment of CKLs. In 2016 the activity carried out by the group in hospitals and districts through vulnological consultations on the one hand and with the services provided in outpatient clinics on the other has taken care of 504 patients; in the same period the team has designed and managed 4 training courses on prevention and treatment of bedsores injuries aimed at employees and General Practitioners operating on the ASL TO4 territory.
Debate in Translating Nouns in the Holy Quran

Published: July 2018

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the semantic issues and problems related to nouns that some translators in their translation of the Holy Quran, couldn't translate it successfully such as Abdullah Yusuf and Souleymane Kanté. Although they did a great effort and their translation is successful but they fail to convey the meaning to some nouns. The researcher tried to introduce some suggestions to improve translation of nouns in the Holy Quran by explaining some of these issues, and not to undermine these translations.As the terminology of the Quran reflects the history of the rise of a monotheistic religion in Arabia, the terminology of its translation into Maninka reflects the long history of islamization of the Manding-speaking peoples, Souleymane Kanté's translation as an example. On the other hand, some Arabic translations to English are also available, Abdullah Yusuf's translation as an example.The researcher investigated troubles these two translators face in translating the Holy Quran by providing some examples. It was clear that Yusufs' translation based on finding equivalent of nouns of the Quran in the target culture which is not always available, while Kante's translation based on that there are many words in the target language which can stand for any noun in the Holy Quran.The researcher concludes that Kante's translation is better and more professional because languages develops and translators must always find equivalent words in the target culture to convey the meaning they are seeking to explain.
The Racial Legacy of the Enlightenment in Simón Bolívar's Political Thought
Authors: Gallegos-Ordorica Sergio Armando 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
This article offers a critical complement to Diego von Vacano's differential characterization of Bolívar's political thought and his understanding of race through a comparative analysis between Bolívar's views and those of certain philosophers of the Enlightenment. Indeed, von Vacano argues that Bolívar's contributions to republican theory have traditionally been ignored by the Anglo-American tradition. Though von Vacano is right in underscoring that Bolívar's political thought deserves more attention since it contains valuable contributions that stand in “contradistinction to prevalent discourses in European and American intellectual history”, this article argues that, if we reconstruct the genealogy of Bolívar's political thought by tracing it back to Montesquieu and Rousseau, it turns out to be very different in some respects from the views voiced in European discourses, but is also bears the imprint of certain racist assumptions and biases. This article also offers a brief diagnosis of the tensions that are found in Bolívar's political thought.
A Tribute to Ursula K. Le Guin (1929–2018)
Authors: Roemer Kenneth M. 
Published: July 2018

ABSTRACT
I present this tribute in the form of a letter to Ursula K. Le Guin, with whom I corresponded for more than forty years. The letter expresses praise for her work and character that I wish I had shared with her more fully during her life. I specifically emphasize her ability to invite readers to question restrictive gender classifications and to consider the origins of their joys and fears. I highlight her courage, demonstrated not only in her attack on the misuse of power by Amazon but also in her most ambitions work, Always Coming Home (1985), which almost went unpublished because it did not fit any defined literary genre. I conclude with a tribute to her acts of generosity to the inexperienced young scholar I once was to the old Sidewalker she continued to advise into his seventies.
On Utopian (Im)Perfection and Solidarity in Edward Bulwer-Lytton's The Coming Race
Authors: Komsta Marta 
Published: July 2018

ABSTRACT
The question of solidarity in utopian narratives is connected with the long-standing juxtaposition of the collective and the individual in the sociopolitical model of the commonwealth; foregrounded here is the connection between the systemic solidarity of the state and the individualized solidarity between its members. Following the definitions of solidarity proposed by Jodi Dean, Max Pensky, and others, the article discusses Edward Bulwer-Lytton's seminal Victorian utopia, The Coming Race (1871), in the context of the relationship between utopian collectivism and its politics of exclusion and/or elimination of potentially disruptive elements. In contrast to a typical approach to the text as a satire on some of the prevalent issues of the period, this article argues that, by accentuating the evolutionary disparity between the protagonist and his utopian hosts, Bulwer-Lytton's utopia enables an investigation into an often ambivalent relationship between diverse definitions of solidarity.
Counternarratives of Solidarity in Janusz A. Zajdel's Dystopian Fiction
Authors: Maziarczyk Grzegorz 
Published: July 2018

ABSTRACT
The novels of Janusz A. Zajdel, the key representative of Polish social science fiction, constitute a significant contribution to the dystopian literary tradition, but they remain virtually unknown in anglophone countries, as none of them has been translated into English. Inspired by the political and social realities of the 1970s Polish People's Republic, Zajdel depicts supposedly utopian forms of social organization in which an underground “second life” evolves in response to their totalitarian underpinnings and explores the role solidarity plays in their duplicitous self-representation as well as in their citizens' everyday strategies of resistance, accommodation, and adaptation. Drawing on Sally J. Scholz's differentiation between social, civic, and political solidarity, this article analyzes configurations of its oppressive appropriation and subversive recuperation in Zajdel's three major works: Limes inferior (1982), Wyjście z cienia (1983), and Paradyzja (1984).
Late Quaternary Environments of the Teton Mountains, Wyoming: A Pollen Record from Green Lake
Authors: Balmaki Behnaz , Wigand Peter 
Published: July 2018

Late Quaternary forest succession in Wyoming’s Rocky Mountains, occurred in random patterns, because it reflects differences between the Glacial vegetation at lower elevations on the east vs. the west of the Rockies, as well as along the mountain crest to the south. Differential melting of mountain glaciers resulted in differences in the timing of recolonization. Significant variations in the composition of plant assemblages occurred due to delays in species’ arrival, and even in the exclusion of species. Holocene climate variability, especially ongoing global warming, added to the complex dynamics of plant assemblages with warm climate species replacing early Holocene, cooler climate species. The pollen record from Green Lake (located in a glacial cirque on the west side of the Teton Mountains in Teton County, Wyoming) addresses the local vegetation response from just before the fall of Mazama ash to the end of the middle Holocene warm period. Although the earlier portion of the pollen sequence records some of the last adjustments as some plant species were still arriving after de-glaciation, by the time Mazama ash fell it was climate variation that determined most of the dynamics observed in the Green Lake record. The results reveal a sequence of wetter and drier periods based upon the presence of diagnostic tree species. A moist late early Holocene was followed by a dry middle Holocene, which ended about 6,400 cal. B.P., and was followed between 5,000 to 2,800 cal. B.P. by a sequence of drier and moister climate episodes.

Een positieve relatie tussen beleid en kennis
Het ontwikkelen van succesvol overheidsbeleid vraagt om een systematische benutting van kennis uit wetenschap én praktijk. In dit artikel wordt beschreven op welke manier die systematische benutting kan worden bewerkstelligd. Als de afstand tussen kennis en beleidsontwikkeling kan worden verkleind en tevens wordt gekozen voor een proces van open beleidsontwikkeling, zal de benutting van kennis tijdens het beleidsproces beter verlopen. Daarbij dienen tegelijkertijd diverse voorwaarden te worden gesteld aan een adequate programmering van het corresponderende beleidsonderzoek.
Diferencias entre empleabilidad, inseguridad laboral y salud en trabajadores y desempleados

ResumenEl desempleo y la inseguridad laboral tienen efectos negativos sobre la salud, aunque la empleabilidad podría mediar dichos efectos. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo analizar las posibles diferencias entre trabajadores y desempleados en empleabilidad y variables de salud psicosocial, así como explorar el papel de la empleabilidad y la inseguridad laboral en la salud psicosocial. Para esto, se utilizó metodología cuasiexperimental, donde se administraron una serie de cuestionarios que evaluaban empleabilidad e inseguridad laboral a 97 trabajadores (35 desempleados y 62 en activo), junto a otras variables psicosociales y de salud. Los resultados muestran que la empleabilidad es mayor en desempleados y que, altas puntuaciones en este constructo se asocian a un menor malestar afectivo. Por otro lado, en la población activa, tener altos niveles de inseguridad laboral también se asocian con malestar psicológico y baja satisfacción y autoeficacia. Estos resultados se discuten considerando que la empleabilidad podría estar actuando como un amortiguador de las consecuencias negativas derivadas del desempleo y la inseguridad laboral.AbstractUnemployment and job insecurity have negative effects on health, although employability may be able to mediate these effects. The objective of this article is to analyze the possible differences between workers and unemployed in employability and psychosocial health variables, as well as to explore the role of employability and job insecurity in the active population in psychosocial health. For this, quasiexperimental methodology was used, where a questionnaire evaluating employability, job insecurity and psychosocial health variables was administered to 97 workers (35 unemployed and 62 in active). Results showed that employability is higher in unemployed and that high scores in this construct are associated with negative emotions. On the other hand, in the active population, having high levels of job insecurity were associated with psychological distress and low satisfaction and self-efficacy. These results are discussed considering that employability could be buffer the negative health consequences derived from unemployment and job insecurity.
Multiple transgressions and slow evolution shape the phylogeographic pattern of the blind cave-dwelling shrimp Typhlocaris

Published: July 2018

Background
Aquatic subterranean species often exhibit disjunct distributions, with high level of endemism and small range, shaped by vicariance, limited dispersal, and evolutionary rates. We studied the disjunct biogeographic patterns of an endangered blind cave shrimp, Typhlocaris, and identified the geological and evolutionary processes that have shaped its divergence pattern.

Methods
We collected Typlocaris specimens of three species (T. galilea, T. ayyaloni, and T. salentina), originating from subterranean groundwater caves by the Mediterranean Sea, and used three mitochondrial genes (12S, 16S, cytochrome oxygnese subunit 1 (COI)) and four nuclear genes (18S, 28S, internal transcribed spacer, Histon 3) to infer their phylogenetic relationships. Using the radiometric dating of a geological formation (Bira) as a calibration node, we estimated the divergence times of the Typhlocaris species and the molecular evolution rates.

Results
The multi-locus ML/Bayesian trees of the concatenated seven gene sequences showed that T. salentina (Italy) and T. ayyaloni (Israel) are sister species, both sister to T. galilea (Israel). The divergence time of T. ayyaloni and T. salentina from T. galilea was 7.0 Ma based on Bira calibration. The divergence time of T. ayyaloni from T. salentina was 5.7 (4.4–6.9) Ma according to COI, and 5.8 (3.5–7.2) Ma according to 16S. The computed interspecific evolutionary rates were 0.0077 substitutions/Myr for COI, and 0.0046 substitutions/Myr for 16S.

Discussion
Two consecutive vicariant events have shaped the phylogeographic patterns of Typhlocaris species. First, T. galilea was tectonically isolated from its siblings in the Mediterranean Sea by the arching uplift of the central mountain range of Israel ca. seven Ma. Secondly, T. ayyaloni and T. salentina were stranded and separated by a marine transgression ca. six Ma, occurring just before the Messinian Salinity Crisis. Our estimated molecular evolution rates were in one order of magnitude lower than the rates of closely related crustaceans, as well as of other stygobiont species. We suggest that this slow evolution reflects the ecological conditions prevailing in the highly isolated subterranean water bodies inhabited by Typhlocaris.

ImportanceExtensive research has found the detrimental health effects of heat waves. However, a critical gap exists in understanding their association with adverse health events among older dually eligible individuals, who may be particularly susceptible to heat waves.ObjectiveTo assess the association between heat waves and adverse health events among dually eligible individuals 65 years and older.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis retrospective time-series study assessed the association between heat waves in warm months from 2016 to 2019 and zip code tabulation area (ZCTA)–day level adverse health events. Dually eligible individuals 65 years and older who were continuously enrolled in either a Medicare fee-for-service plan or a Medicare Advantage plan with full Medicaid benefits from May to September in any given year were identified. All ZCTAs in the US with at least 1 dually eligible individual in each study year were included. Data were analyzed from September 2023 to August 2024.ExposureHeat waves, defined as 3 or more consecutive extreme heat days (ie, days with a maximum temperature of at least 90 °F [32.2 °C] and in the 97th percentile of daily maximum temperatures for each ZCTA during the study period).Main Outcomes and MeasuresDaily counts of heat-related emergency department visits and heat-related hospitalizations for each ZCTA.ResultsThe study sample included 5 448 499 beneficiaries 65 years and older in 28 404 ZCTAs across 50 states and Washington, DC; the mean (SD) proportion of female beneficiaries and beneficiaries 85 years and older in each ZCTA was 66% (7%) and 20% (8%), respectively. The incidence rate for heat-related emergency department visits was 10% higher during heat wave days compared to non–heat wave days (incidence rate ratio [IRR], 1.10; 95% CI, 1.08-1.12), and the incidence rate of heat-related hospitalizations was 7% higher during heat wave days (IRR, 1.07; 95% CI, 1.04-1.09). There were similar patterns in other adverse health events, including a 4% higher incidence rate of death during heat wave days (IRR, 1.04; 95% CI, 1.01-1.07). The magnitude of these associations varied across some subgroups. For example, the association between heat waves and heat-related emergency department visits was statistically significant only for individuals in 3 of 9 US climate regions: the Northwest, Ohio Valley, and the West.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this time-series study, heat waves were associated with increased adverse health events among dually eligible individuals 65 years and older. Without adaptation strategies to address the health-related impacts of heat, dually eligible individuals are increasingly likely to face adverse outcomes.

Published: November 2024

ImportanceSnoring is central to sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), which arises from nocturnal upper airway resistance. Habitual snoring is associated with cognitive and behavioral problems in young children, but less is known about these associations in adolescents.ObjectiveTo assess the longitudinal associations of snoring with cognition and problem behaviors among adolescents.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cohort study was a secondary analysis of the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study dataset (release 5.0), which enrolled 11 875 children and a parent or caregiver from June 1, 2016, to October 15, 2018, at 21 participating US research institutions and followed-up for 5 years. The analysis was performed between December 2023 and April 2024.ExposuresParent-reported snoring categorized as none, nonhabitual (&amp;lt;3 nights/week), and habitual (≥3 times/week).Main Outcomes and MeasuresCognition was assessed using 5 measures from the National Institutes of Health Toolbox (NIH-TB), and caregiver-reported problem behaviors were assessed using the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), including Total Problems, Internalizing Problems, and Externalizing Problems. Longitudinal associations of snoring with these assessment measures were analyzed using linear mixed-effects models stratified by obesity. Model fits were assessed after including the fixed-effects of age, sex at birth, race, family income, follow-up time, visit type, and the random-effects of site and identification number.ResultsThe study included data from 11 862 children at year 1 (mean age, 119.0 months [95% CI, 118.8 to 119.1 months]; 6164 male [52.2%]) and 11 198, 10 870, 10 064, and 4668 children at years 2 to 5, respectively. The proportion of habitual snorers decreased from 811 participants (6.8%) in year 1 to 150 participants (3.2%) in year 5. Snoring was not associated with any of the NIH-TB scores. A statistically significant association of snoring was identified with all CBCL scales. The largest-magnitude association was of snoring with the CBCL Total Problems scale among adolescents with obesity (β = 3.18; 95% CI, 2.59-3.77).Conclusions and RelevanceIn this cohort study analyzing associations of snoring with cognitive test scores and problem behaviors based on the ABCD dataset, the prevalence of snoring declined over time; snoring in adolescents was associated with problem behaviors but not cognitive deficits. These findings may aid shared decision-making regarding treatment options such as adenotonsillectomy for adolescents with SDB.

ImportanceBarriers to divorce and reproductive health care can threaten the health and safety of pregnant and recently pregnant females.ObjectiveTo examine state laws about divorce, reproductive health care (access to contraception, family planning services, and abortion), and pregnancy-associated homicide rates in US states over a 4-year period (2018-2021).Design, Setting, and ParticipantsIn this cross-sectional study, bivariate tests and regressions were used to analyze crude rates of pregnancy-associated homicide from the National Violent Death Reporting System in 181 state-years for calendar years 2018 to 2021, with analyses conducted on September 8, 2024.ExposuresAccess to divorce while pregnant and reproductive health care over a 4-year period in the US.Main Outcomes and MeasuresPrimary outcomes (pregnancy-associated homicide by intimate partners vs non–intimate partners and rates among younger Black, Hispanic, and White females) were assessed using the National Violent Death Reporting System. Negative binomial regression was used to test 2 hypotheses: access to divorce while pregnant and reproductive health care are associated with pregnancy-associated homicide rates.ResultsIndividual level data, including exact sample size, were not available in this study of state-level homicide rates. Negative binomial regression analysis showed that, where finalizing divorce during pregnancy is prohibited, intimate partner homicide rates (incidence rate ratio [IRR], 2.11; 95% CI, 1.09-4.08; P = .03) and rates among younger (age 10-24 years) White females (IRR, 2.39; 95% CI, 1.12-5.09; P = .02) were significantly higher. In state-years with greater access to reproductive health care, rates were significantly lower for non–intimate partner homicide (IRR, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.87-0.98; P = .01) and for younger Black females (IRR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.87-0.96; P &amp;lt; .001) and younger Hispanic females (IRR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.79-0.96; P = .007).Conclusions and RelevanceIn this cross-sectional study of pregnancy-associated homicide rates, barriers to divorce were associated with higher homicide rates and access to reproductive health care was associated with lower homicide rates. This study highlights the association between state legislation and pregnancy-associated homicide in the US, which is important information for policymakers.
