The COVID-19 pandemic has had a strong impact on healthcare workers (HCWs), affecting their physical and mental health. In Italy, HCWs have been among the first exposed to unprecedented pressure, dealing with large numbers of infections during the first pandemic wave. However, the severe psychological consequences on HCWs find little evidence in the literature, especially in terms of comparison to the status quo ante pandemic. The aim of this study was to provide an assessment of the mental health burden in a cohort of Italian HCWs during the COVID-19 pandemic, comparing their condition with that before the emergency, to direct the promotion of mental well-being among HCWs worldwide. In this retrospective study, we included physicians, physical therapists, and nurses working in the Respiratory Intensive Care Unit, Neurology Unit, and Rehabilitation Unit from a Southern Italy University Hospital. All study participants underwent a battery of psychological tests, aimed at verifying their state of mental health during the COVID-19 emergency and before it. Depressive, anxiety, and burnout symptoms were assessed using the following questionnaires: Maslach Burnout Inventory, Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and General Anxiety Disorder-7. Depressive, anxiety, and burnout clinical relevance symptoms were present in HCWs during the COVID-19 pandemic more than those before the emergency. Fifty percent of the HCWs obtained a score clinically significant during the emergency. Moreover, a depersonalization factor showed a statistically significant increase in average scores (p < 0.0001). The PHQ-9 scale showed that 47.1% of the operators reported depressive state presence. The number of operators scoring above the cut-off for the anxiety scale tripled during the emergency (p < 0.0001). The female gender conferred greater risks for depression. Taken together, the findings of this study showed that our sample of Italian HCWs showed a greater risk for depression, anxiety, and stress during the COVID-19 pandemic. These data might be a starting point to plan mental health monitoring and prevention programs for HCWs, thus ensuring patients receive the best possible care performances even during healthcare crises such as the current pandemic.

The most fruitful period in Ronald Dworkin’s scientific production includes his two first important works, Taking Rights Seriously and Law’s Empire. Therein, he pursues various objectives, sometimes even contradictory, and elaborates one of his most caracteristic theories: the one right answer thesis. This essay tries to develop a uniform reading of the cited writings in the light of the fundamental features of legal realism and of some versions of positivism; although this implies overlooking several places in them. Finally, the question is posed wheter this interpretation implies, as it seems, at least theoretical tolerance for evil law. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyses the information about vaccines and anti-vaccines that is shared on blogs, Facebook, and YouTube by monitoring publications from 2015 to the present. The origin of the source of the information, the published content, and the generated engagement have been taken into account. The results, obtained from the study of 48 YouTube videos, 207 posts from 5 different blogs and 7 Facebook groups, confirm that: a) the anti-vaccine or pro-vaccine information does not usually come from official sources; b) the shared content orbits around certain recurring issues and it is usually linked to specific events (for example, a measles outbreak or a particular complaint for side effects of a vaccine); c) the shared content, generally, is not based on scientific evidence, and; d) the interactions generated by users vary greatly depending on whether the information is transmitted by YouTube, a blog, or Facebook. Generally, both blogs and YouTube generate more followers, interactions, and comments than Facebook groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Laudato Si' communities have put forward the proposal to plant 60 million trees in Italy to fight the climate crisis. The role of forests in mitigating cli - mate change is scientifically unequivocal. However, a sound reforestation strategy must be consistent with the country's environmental, forest and socioeconomic context. Italian forests and the 12 billion trees they contain currently absorb 5-10% of the total country emissions; 60 million trees would result in an additional sequestration of 0.05% of the CO2 emitted annually. Furthermore, forested areas in Italy are rapidly increasing on rural and marginal sites. On the contrary, forests are disappearing in lowlands and urban centers. Cities and suburbs are the areas where new forests could play an important role in climate mitigation, contributing to the mitigation of heat waves and air pollution, and increasing the well-being of citizens. To be successful, interventions to mitigate the climate crisis cannot be exhausted within the forest sector. Forestry-related strategies must be diversified, and include reducing deforestation, planting new forests, increasing the efficacy of sustainable and adaptive forest management, and taking advantage of the substitution effects played by wood-based materials. New urban forests, if subject to scientifically based design and planning, are an important part of this strategy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyses the changes in the action and social structure of the Chilean working class between 1973 and 1989. First, it reviews the background of the formation and development of the working class until 1973. Second, it analyses the main transformations in the action and social structure of the workers and their organizations during dictatorship. It is argued that between 1973 and 1977, some of the trade unions tried to represent politically the workers before the dictatorship. Since 1978, trade unions tried to resist the neoliberal reforms and established the basis of an opposition to the military regime. Finally, it is concluded that the disarticulation of its social bases, particularly of the industrial working class, and the way in which the transition is politically solved, made it difficult for them to recover it's structure and power achieved until 1973.

Los recursos naturales no renovables (RNNR) aportan cuantiosos ingresos fiscales a los países latinoamericanos; sin embargo la concentración de RNNR en unas pocas regiones genera una alta desigualdad territorial. En este artículo se analiza cómo los ingresos provenientes de RNNR podrían incluirse en las transferencias de igualación y de qué manera los países están implementando sistemas de transferencias de igualación o podrían hacerlo. Sobre la base de la teoría de la igualación fiscal, se evalúan los sistemas verticales y horizontales en referencia a gobiernos intermedios en la Argentina y el Perú. En el estudio se señala una serie de costos políticos y económicos que conllevan los diferentes sistemas de ingresos derivados de RNNR, en los que: i) las provincias poseen los recursos en cuestión (Argentina); y ii) los ingresos provenientes de RNNR se recaudan y distribuyen por el gobierno central a un gran número de gobiernos subnacionales, en un esquema totalmente asimétrico (Perú).
