ON SQUEEZING.ITALIAN URBAN MIDDLE CLASSES, SHORT-TERM RENTALS AND RENT-EXTRACTION UNDER PLATFORM CAPITALISM
Creators: name: TONETTA, MARTA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2020

description: Under the umbrella term of what can be labelled "platform capitalism", short-term rentals are playing a new and controversial role in cities worldwide. They can be considered drivers and markers of urban and social change. The research project posits its theoretical foundations on an inter-disciplinary approach. It seeks to provide new understandings of the topic by following the viewpoint entry of the suppliers, renting properties through Airbnb and similar digital architectures. In particular, in light of the stress on labor market, income compression and a financial crisis that seemingly is still ongoing, the current work elaborates on the idea that middle class households are capitalising homes and rooms in order to sustain socio-economic stability and consumption habits by extracting value from their main source of wealth. Despite its theoretical and pragmatical relevance, the topic remains as of yet under researched in the academia, but becomes particularly interesting for southern European nations. What happens, for example, in a context like Italy where the housing system is characterized by the primacy of home-ownership and a huge stock of secondary homes, but where this is also a high rate of unemployment and scarce incomes? Drawing on qualitative research techniques and a two-sited fieldwork, this doctoral dissertation sets out to provide an account of the emerging patterns of rent extraction among middle class individuals and families in two urban settings: Milan and Naples.

Publisher: name: Oxford University Press

description: Patients with a seizure disorder have a higher incidence of burn injury; however, there are limited studies that examine the association between pre-existing seizure disorders (PSD) and burn outcomes. This is a retrospective study of admitted burn patients. Variables analyzed include patient demographics, clinical characteristics, associated PSD, hospital length of stay (LOS), and mortality. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to analyze the impact of PSD on burn mortality and LOS. Seven thousand six hundred and forty patients met the inclusion criteria and 1.31% (n = 100) patients had a PSD. There was no difference in mortality rate between patients with or without PSD (odds ratio [OR] = 2.28, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.87 to 5.93). Multivariate logistic regression showed that patients with PSD had significantly increased odds of longer hospital LOS (OR = 2.85, 95% CI = 1.73 to 4.67). Seizure disorder management is mandatory in reducing burn injury and decreasing the costs associated with increased hospital LOS.

description: Amputation following burn injury is rare. Previous studies describe the risk of amputation after electrical burn injuries. Therefore, we describe the distribution of amputations and evaluate risk factors for amputation following burn injury at a large regional burn center. We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients ≥17 years admitted from January 2002 to December 2015. Patients who did and did not undergo an amputation procedure were compared. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to determine the risk factors for amputation. Amputations were further categorized by extremity location and type (major, minor) for comparison. Of the 8313 patients included for analysis, 1.4% had at least one amputation (n = 119). Amputees were older (46.7 ± 17.4 years) than nonamputees (42.6 ± 16.8 years; P =.009). The majority of amputees were white (47.9%) followed by black (39.5%) when compared with nonamputees (white: 57.1%, black: 27.3%; P =.012). The most common burn etiology for amputees was flame (41.2%) followed by electrical (23.5%) and other (21.9%). Black race (odds ratio [OR]: 2.29; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.22-4.30; P =.010), electric (OR: 13.54; 95% CI: 6.23-29.45; P <.001) and increased %TBSA (OR: 1.03; 95% CI: 1.02-1.05; P <.001) were associated with amputation. Burn etiology, the presence of preexisting comorbidities, black race, and increased %TBSA increase the odds of post burn injury. The role of race on the risk of amputation requires further study.

description: We present 21cm HI observations of four Hickson Compact Groups with evidence for a substantial intragroup medium using the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT). By mapping H I emission in a region of 25$^{\prime}\times$25$^{\prime}$ (140-650 kpc) surrounding each HCG, these observations provide better estimates of HI masses. In particular, we detected 65% more \HI than that detected in the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) imaging of HCG92. We also identify if the diffuse gas has the same spatial distribution as the high-surface brightness (HSB) HI features detected in the VLA maps of these groups by comparing the HI strengths between the observed and modeled masses based on VLA maps. We found that the HI observed with the GBT to have a similar spatial distribution as the HSB structures in HCGs 31 and 68. Conversely, the observed HI distributions in HCGs44 and 92 were extended and showed significant offsets from the modeled masses. Most of the faint gas in HCG44 lies to the Northeast-Southwest region and in HCG 92 lies in the Northwest region of their respective groups. The spatial and dynamical similarities between the total (faint+HSB) and the HSB HI indicate that the faint gas is of tidal origin. We found that the gas will survive ionization by the cosmic UV background and the escaping ionizing photons from the star forming regions and stay primarily neutral for at least 500 Myrs.

description: Racial and ethnic disparities in access to inpatient rehabilitation have been previously described for various injury groups; however, no studies have evaluated whether such disparities exist among burn patients. Their aim was to determine if racial disparities in discharge destination (inpatient rehabilitation, skilled nursing facility, home with home health, or home) following burn injury existed in this single-institution study. A retrospective analysis of all adult burn patients admitted to UNC Jaycee Burn Center from 2002 to 2012 was conducted. Patient characteristics included age, gender, burn mechanism, insurance status, percentage total body surface area (%TBSA) burned, presence of inhalation injury, and hospital length of stay. Patients were categorized into one of three mutually exclusive racial or ethnic groups: White, Hispanic, or Black. Propensity score weighting followed by ordered logistic regression was performed in the analytical sample and in a subgroup analysis of patients with severe burns (TBSA > 20%). For analysis, 4198 patients were included: 2661 White, 340 Hispanic, and 1197 Black. Propensity weighting resulted in covariate balance among racial groups. Black patients (OR: 1.58, 95% CI: 1.23-2.03; P <.001) were more likely than Whites to be discharged to a higher level of rehabilitation, whereas Hispanics were less likely (OR: 0.78, 95% CI: 0.38-1.58; P =.448). In their subgroup analysis, Black (OR: 1.88, 95% CI: 1.07-3.28; P =.026) and Hispanic (OR: 1.53, 95% CI: 0.31-7.51; P =.603) patients were more likely to discharge to a higher level of rehabilitation than White patients. Racial and ethnic disparities in discharge destination to a higher level of rehabilitative services among burn-injured patients exist particularly for Hispanic patients but not for Black or White burn patient groups. Further studies are needed to elucidate the potential sources of these disparities specifically for Hispanic patients.
Constraining the r-mode saturation amplitude from a hypothetical detection of r-mode gravitational waves from a newborn neutron star - sensitivity study

description: This paper consists of two related parts: In the first part we derive an expression of the moment of inertia (MOI) of a neutron star as a function of observables from a hypothetical r-mode gravitational wave detection. For a given r-mode detection we show how the value of the MOI of a neutron star constrains the equation of state (EOS) of the matter in the core of the neutron star. Subsequently, for each candidate EOS, we derive a possible value of the saturation amplitude, α, of the r-mode oscillations on the neutron star. Additionally, we argue that a r-mode detection will provide clues about the cooling rate mechanism of the neutron star. The above physics that can be derived from a hypothetical r-mode detection constitute our motivation for the second part of the paper. In that part we present a detection strategy to efficiently search for r-modes in gravitational-wave data. R-mode signals were injected into simulated noise colored with the advanced LIGO (aLIGO) and Einstein Telescope (ET) sensitivity curves. The r-mode waveforms used are those predicted by early theories based on a polytropic equation of state (EOS) neutron star matter. In our best case scenario αof order 10^{-1}, the maximum detection distance when using the aLIGO sensitivity curve is 1 Mpc (supernova event rate of 3-4 per century) while the maximum detection distance when using the ET sensitivity curve is 10 Mpc (supernova event rate of 1-2 per year).

description: Introduction: We sought to examine the impact of preexisting and new onset renal disease on burn injury mortality. Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients admitted to a regional burn center from 2002-2012 was performed. Variables analyzed included demographics, burn mechanism, inhalation injury status, and % TBSA. Poisson regression was performed to estimate risk of in-hospital burn mortality. Results: There were a total of 7640 patients over the study period. The adjusted 60-day risk of in-hospital mortality in patients with preexisting renal disease (PRD was 3 times higher compared to patients with no preexisting renal disease (IRR = 3.22, 95% CI = 1.26–8.25). The adjusted 60-day risk of mortality is 2 times higher for patients with new onset renal disease compared to those without (IRR = 2.11, 95% CI = 1.55–2.87). Conclusion: Preexisting and new onset renal disease results in a significantly higher risk of mortality following burn injury compared to patients without renal disease. Prevention of new onset renal injury and careful management of patients with preexisting renal disease to prevent exacerbation should be pursued.

description: It is generally believed that any quantum theory of gravity should have a generic feature --- a quantum of length. We provide a physical ansatz to obtain an effective non-local metric tensor starting from the standard metric tensor such that the spacetime acquires a zero-point-length $\ell _{0}$ of the order of the Planck length $L_{P}$. This prescription leads to several remarkable consequences. In particular, the Euclidean volume $V_D(\ell,\ell_{0})$ in a $D$-dimensional spacetime of a region of size $\ell $ scales as $V_D(\ell, \ell _{0}) \propto \ell_{0}^{D-2} \ell^2$ when $\ell \sim \ell_{0}$, while it reduces to the standard result $V_D(\ell,\ell_{0}) \propto \ell^D$ at large scales ($\ell \gg \ell_{0}$). The appropriately defined effective dimension, $D_{\rm eff} $, decreases continuously from $D_{\rm eff}=D$ (at $\ell \gg \ell_{0}$) to $D_{\rm eff}=2$ (at $\ell \sim \ell_{0}$). This suggests that the physical spacetime becomes essentially 2-dimensional near Planck scale.

description: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is being used with increasing frequency to support patients suffering from severe cardiac or respiratory failure. In pregnancy, ECMO has resulted in favor-able maternal and fetal outcomes. However, there is a paucity of information regarding ECMO man-agement in the peripartum period, including the ideal method of delivery. A case series of four pa-tients describes 100 per cent survival of the mother and fetus where delivery was performed when the patients were on ECMO. In all of these cases, de-livery was performed via cesarean section. Further investigation has revealed that all current informa-tion available in regard to this topic describe delivery via cesarean section only. Here, we describe a case in which a vaginal delivery was successfully performed when on ECMO, without significant blood loss or circuit complication. We describe our management strategies regarding maternal anticoagulation pre- and postvaginal delivery.

Neben einer Evaluation des Projektes CompiSternli schliesst der Bericht an die wissenschaftliche Debatte zu neuen Medien und Generationendialog an.
Die Studie entstand, weil CompiSternli-Gründerin Rahel Tschopp 2010 Daniel Süss, Professor für Medienpsychologie an der ZHAW kontaktierte, und bei uns das Thema auf Forschungsinteresse stiess. CompiSternli wurde während der Studie im Sommer 2012 leider bis auf weiteres eingestellt (bis auf Kurse, die im laufenden Schuljahr noch in zwei Gemeinden durchgeführt werden). Die Datenerhebung wurde dadurch kaum beeinträchtigt. Wir hoffen, dass die vorliegenden Ergebnisse dazu beitragen, eine Grundlage für die allfällige Neulancierung von CompiSternli zu bieten und anderen intergenerationellen Projekten vertiefte Einblicke in gelebten Generationendialog zu geben.

description: This was a retrospective review of all children aged ≤16 who were treated in the casualty department at the central hospital in Lilongwe, Malawi, between 1 January 2009 and 31 December 2015. A total of 4776 children were treated for road traffic injuries (RTIs) in the study period. There was an increase in incidence from 428 RTIs in 2009 to a maximum of 834 in 2014. Child pedestrians represented 53.8% of the injuries, but 78% of deaths and 71% of those with moderate to severe head injuries. Pedestrians were mostly injured by cars (36%) and by large trucks, buses and lorries (36%). Eighty-four (1.8%) children were brought in dead, while 40 (0.8%) children died in the casualty department or during their hospital stay. There has been a drastic increase of RTIs in children in Lilongwe, Malawi. Child pedestrians were most affected, both in terms of incidence and severity.

description: Introduction: In the developed world, pre-existing malnutrition in the burn population influences operative outcomes. However, studies on pre-existing malnutrition and operative outcomes of burn patients in the developing world are lacking. We therefore sought to characterize the burn injury outcomes following operative intervention based on nutritional status. Methods: This is a retrospective review of operative patients admitted to our burn unit from July 2011 to May 2016. Age-adjusted Z scores were calculated for height, weight, weight for height, and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC). Following bivariate analysis, we constructed a fully adjusted logistic regression model of significant predictors of post-operative mortality, both overall and for specific age categories. Results: Of the 1356 admitted patients, 393 received operative intervention (29%). Of those, 205 (52.2%) were male, and the median age was 6 years (3, 25), with 265 patients (67%) aged ≤16 years. The median TBSA was 15.4% (10%–25%) and open flames caused the majority of burns (64%), though in children under 5, scalds were the predominant cause of burn (52.2%). Overall mortality was 14.5% (57 patients) and ranged from 9.09% for patients aged 6–16, to 33.3% for adults ≥50 years. Increased time from injury to operative intervention was protective (OR: 0.90, 95% CI: 0.83, 0.99). In post-operative patients with z-scores, increasing %TBSA burned (OR: 1.11, 95% CI: 1.05, 1.17) and increasing malnutrition (OR: 1.46, 95% CI: 1.03, 1.91) predicted death in the adjusted model. Conclusion: Poor nutrition is an important risk factor for post-operative mortality in burned patients in resource-poor settings. Screening for malnutrition and designing effective interventions to optimize nutritional status may improve surgical outcomes in LMIC burn patients.

description: Background: Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria are an emerging international concern in low- and middle-income countries that threaten recent public health gains. These challenges are exacerbated in immunocompromised hosts, such as those with burn injury. This study sought to describe the epidemiology and associated clinical outcomes of burn wound colonization in a Malawian tertiary burn center. Methods: This is a prospective analysis of burn patients presenting to Kamuzu Central Hospital in Lilongwe, Malawi, within 72 h of burn injury. A swab of each patient’s primary wound was collected at admission and each subsequent week. The primary exposure was burn wound colonization with MDR bacteria, particularly Enterobacteriaceae. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. A log binomial model estimated the association between the exposure and outcome, adjusted for confounders. Results: Ninety-nine patients were enrolled with a median age of 4 years (IQR 2–12) and a male preponderance (54%). Median total body surface area burn (TBSA) was 14% (IQR 9–25), and crude in-hospital mortality was 19%. Enterobacteriaceae were the most common MDR bacteria with 36% of patients becoming colonized. Wound colonization with MDR Enterobacteriaceae was associated with increased in-hospital mortality with a risk ratio of 1.86 (95% CI 1.38, 2.50, p < 0.001) adjusted for TBSA, burn type (scald vs. flame), sex, age, length of stay, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus colonization. Conclusion: MDR bacteria, especially Enterobacteriaceae, are common and are associated with worse burn injury outcomes. In resource-poor environments, a greater emphasis on prevention of MDR bacterial colonization, improved isolation precautions, affordable diagnostics, and antibiotic stewardship are imperative.

description: Introduction: Trauma is a large contributor to morbidity and mortality in developing countries. We sought to determine which anatomic injury locations and mechanisms of injury predispose to prehospital mortality in Malawi to help target preventive and therapeutic interventions. We hypothesized that head injury would result in the highest prehospital mortality. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of all trauma patients presenting to Kamuzu Central Hospital in Lilongwe, Malawi, from 2008 to 2015. Independent variables included baseline characteristics, anatomic location of primary injury, mechanism of injury, and severity of secondary injuries. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the effect of primary injury location and injury mechanism on prehospital death, after adjusting for confounders. Effect measure modification of the primary injury site/prehospital death relationship by injury mechanism (stratified into intentional and unintentional injury) was assessed. Results: Of 85,806 patients, 701 died in transit (0.8%). Five hundred and five (72%) of these patients sustained a primary head injury. After adjustment, head injury was the anatomic location most associated with prehospital death (OR 11.81 (95% CI 6.96–20.06, p < 0.0001). The mechanisms of injury most associated with prehospital death were gunshot wounds (OR 38.23, 95% CI 17.66–87.78, p < 0.0001) and pedestrian hit by vehicle (OR 2.62, 95% CI 1.92–3.55, p < 0.0001). Among head injury patients, the odds of prehospital mortality were higher with unintentional injuries. Conclusions: Head injuries are the most common causes of prehospital death in Malawi, while pedestrians hit by vehicles are the most common mechanisms. In a resource-poor setting, preventive measures are critical in averting mortality.

description: The effect of the helicity on the dynamics of the turbulent flows is investigated. The aim is to disentangle the role of helicity in fixing the direction, the intensity and the fluctuations of the energy transfer across the inertial range of scales. We introduce an external parameter, $α$, that controls the mismatch between the number of positive and negative helically polarized Fourier modes. We present the first set of direct numerical simulations of Navier-Stokes equations from the fully symmetrical case, $α=0$, to the fully asymmetrical case, $α=1$, when only helical modes of one sign survive. We found a singular dependency of the direction of the energy cascade on $α$, measuring a positive forward flux as soon as only a few modes with different helical polarities are present. On the other hand, small-scales fluctuations are sensitive only to the degree of mode-reduction, leading to a vanishing intermittency already for values of $α\sim 0.1$ and independently of the degree of mirror symmetry-breaking. Our findings suggest that intermittency is the result of a global mode-coupling in Fourier space.

description: Background: Surgical care is essential to health systems but remains a challenge for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Current metrics to assess access and delivery of surgical care focus on the structural components of surgery and are not readily applicable to all settings. This study assesses a new metric for surgical care access and delivery, the ratio of emergent surgery to elective surgery (Ee ratio), which represents the number of emergency surgeries performed for every 100 elective surgeries. Methods: A systematic search of PubMed and Medline was conducted for studies describing surgical volume and acuity published between 2006 and 2016. The relationship between Ee ratio and three national indicators (gross domestic product, per capital healthcare spending, and physician density) was analyzed using weighted Pearson correlation coefficients (rw) and linear regression models. Results: A total of 29 studies with 33 datasets were included for analyses. The median Ee ratio was 14.6 (IQR 5.5–62.6), with a range from 1.6 to 557.4. For countries in sub-Saharan Africa the median value was 62.6 (IQR 17.8–111.0), compared to 9.4 (IQR 3.4–13.4) for the United States and 5.5 (IQR 4.4–10.1) for European countries. In multivariable linear regression, the per capita healthcare spending was inversely associated with the Ee ratio, with a 63-point decrease in the Ee ratio for each 1 point increase in the log of the per capita healthcare spending (regression coefficient β = −63.2; 95% CI −119.6 to −6.9; P = 0.036). Conclusions: The Ee ratio appears to be a simple and valid indicator of access to available surgical care. Global health efforts may focus on investment in low-resource settings to improve access to available surgical care.

description: Background: The provision of safe and timely surgical care is essential to global health care. Low- and middle-income countries have a disproportionate share of the global surgical disease burden and struggle to provide care with the given resources. Surgery cancellation worldwide occurs for many reasons, which are likely to differ between high-income and low-income settings. We sought to evaluate the proportion of elective surgery that is cancelled and the associated reasons for cancellation at a tertiary hospital in Malawi. Methods: This was a retrospective review of a database maintained by the Department of Anesthesiology at Kamuzu Central Hospital in Lilongwe, Malawi. Data were available from August 2011 to January 2015 and included weekday records for the number of scheduled surgeries, the number of cancelled surgeries, and the reasons for cancellation. Descriptive statistics were performed. Results: Of 10,730 scheduled surgeries, 4740 (44.2%) were cancelled. The most common reason for cancellation was infrastructural limitations (84.8%), including equipment shortages (50.9%) and time constraints (33.3%). Provider limitations accounted for 16.5% of cancellations, most often due to shortages of anaesthesia providers. Preoperative medical conditions contributed to 26.3% of cancellations. Conclusion: This study demonstrates a high case cancellation rate at a tertiary hospital in Malawi, attributable primarily to infrastructural limitations. These data provide evidence that investments in medical infrastructure and prevention of workforce brain drain are critical to surgical services in this region.
