The aging of the population is considered one of the most specific social transformations of the 21st century (OMS, 2017). Given that the presence of fragility or dependency is more likely in old age, it is that the study of the aging, care and rights triad becomes a nodal theme. In this framework, the Inter-American Convention for the Protection of the Human Rights of Older Adults is the compass that guides our work. The objective of this work is to analyze the current situation of this phenomenon in Latin America in general and in Argentina in particular, identifying deficits and priority needs. Likewise, it will seek to see the main challenges that arise when it comes to achieving a progressive system of care and promoting comprehensive well-being in this population. Some of the devices for older adults that are implemented for both care and prevention and health promotion are presented, as well as the adaptations that have been made for their continuity in the current context of the Covid-19 pandemic. ; El envejecimiento de la población es considerado una de las transformaciones sociales más significativas del siglo XXI (OMS, 2017). Dado que en la vejez es más probable la presencia de fragilidad o dependencia, el estudio de la tríada envejecimiento, cuidado y derechos se transforma en una temática nodal. En este marco, la Convención Interamericana para la Protección de los Derechos Humanos de los Adultos Mayores es la brújula que orienta nuestra labor. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar la situación actual de dicho fenómeno en América Latina en general y en la Argentina en particular, identificando déficits y necesidades prioritarias. Asimismo, se buscará visibilizar los principales desafíos que se presentan en pos de lograr un sistema progresivo de cuidados y fomentar el bienestar integral en dicha población. Se presentan algunos de los dispositivos para adultos mayores que se implementan tanto para la atención como prevención y promoción de la salud, así como las adecuaciones que se han realizado para su continuidad en el contexto actual de pandemia por Covid-19.

The Italian government recently reformed the examination which concludes the Secondary School study programme. With reference to the Liceo Scientifico, i.e. a specific kind of High School with students specializing in scientific subjects, this reform emphasized the crucial role played by Physics in this curriculum. Consequently, revamping the teaching of Physics should be a primary goal. This change ought to increase the time and energies allotted to experimental didactic activities as well as the use of ad hoc educational videos on Physics phenomena. Our research team developed an instructional experience based on the experimental measurement of Planck constant h, a fundamental Physics constant, run directly by a group of 17-year old students attending the Liceo Scientifico Statale "G. B. Grassi" located in Lecco, in the north-west of Italy. Moreover, a didactic video of the same experiment was produced by the Experimental teaching lab. ST2 of the Politecnico di Milano in order to foster students' reflection on the same experience as a follow-up activity. This synergistic use of the laboratory activity and the related video can be regarded as a significant novelty in teaching innovation. Finally, in an Open Educational Resources philosophy (OER), this video will be made available on the web site of the Lab. ST2 YouTube channel. Our project was developed in the context of the Piano Nazionale Lauree Scientifiche, a government programme which funds didactic innovation in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) in Higher Education and at Secondary School level.

An effective country‐level legal environment is crucial for promoting access to finance, development, and ultimately economic growth. Based on a sample of large companies listed in Continental Europe in the period 2002–2011, this study suggests that investor protection level is related to firm growth. Specifically, investor protection: a) enhances the growth rate of the firm; b) affects growth sensitivity to leverage and cash flow. These results provide empirical support to recommendations by policy makers advocating for increased investor protection in Europe.

An activity about the Millikan oil drop experiment is proposed to a group of 17-years-old students attending Liceo Scientifico opzione scienze applicate at the "IIS J. C. Maxwell" school located in Milan (Italy). The students were involved in some laboratory activities, cooperative working and whole class sessions guided by some teacher's questions. The classes are asked to be involved in the solution of a complex problem, starting from the experimental study of the motion of a body in a viscous fluid until facing the problem of the measurement of the charge some tiny oil drops immersed in an electric field. The quantification of the quantum of electric charge was possible, and the students were first-hand dragged in a historical experiment. Primary goal of the activities is the improvement of skills such as the capacity of formulating hypotheses, the employment of an available instrumentation, the collection and analyses of data, the resolution of mathematical equation for the identification of physical quantities of interest. A didactic video of the same experiment was produced by the Experimental teaching lab. ST21 of Politecnico di Milano in order to foster the students' reflection on the same experience as a follow-up activity and, in an Open Educational Resources philosophy (OER), it will be made available on the web site of Lab. ST2 YouTube channel. Our project was developed in the context of Piano Nazionale Lauree Scientifiche (PLS), a government programme which funds didactic innovation of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) in Higher Education and Secondary School level.

BACKGROUND: Anorexia nervosa is a serious, albeit common mental illness that generally occurs during adolescence. Although outpatient care is recommended, hospitalisation is sometimes required. There is a dedicated hospitalisation unit caring for children and adolescents presenting with anorexia nervosa in Nancy, France. However, on 16 March 2020, a national lockdown was declared by the French government as the COVID-19 pandemic escalated in France. This resulted in the adjustment of hospital admissions accompanied by premature discharge and an intensive outpatient care programme. In the light of such changes, consideration should be given to the potential impact of changes in the care pattern for anorexic patients and their parents. The purpose of our study was to explore the experiences of anorexia nervosa patients hospitalised in the unit, and their parents, following changes in the care strategy. METHODS: The study was conducted between weeks four and eight after lockdown was announced. The study cohort included all the patients treated for anorexia nervosa and hospitalised in the treatment unit before 16 March 2020 and their parents. A qualitative method was used and every subject was offered a semi-structured interview. Data were analysed by means of inductive thematic analysis. RESULTS: Seven superordinate themes were identified: positive aspects, concerns, preparation, loss of landmarks and hospital security, gradual return to a "normal" life, relational aspects and the likelihood of disease progression. Moreover, all the parents and patients were satisfied with the intensive outpatient care offered on discharge. CONCLUSION: Despite initial ambivalence, all patients and their parents viewed this unexpected hospital discharge positively in these exceptional conditions. This suggests that restructuring the care programme could prove beneficial with increasing use of outpatient management, thereby reducing the length of the hospital stay and adjusting the return to school.

Those supplying private regulation in the global economy face two fundamental challenges if they are to ameliorate the problems for which they create these systems: targets must conform to, while demanders must have proof of, regulatory compliance. This paper explores an important area absent from assessments as to whether, when, and how, private regulatory bodies are successful in improving behavior and rewarding compliant firms: the role of technological innovations. Employing an inductive, comparative case study analysis, we offer an analytical framework that distinguishes technological innovations that improve trackingmechanismsfrom innovations that directly improve on-the-groundperformance. We illustrate the utility of the analytical framework through an assessment of technological innovations in shaping "non-state market driven" global certification programs governing forestry, fisheries, coffee, e-waste, and climate.

Resumen: Objetivo. Analizar las relaciones que existen entre el machismo, la vulnerabilidad social y los estilos parentales. Metodología. Se utilizó la subescala de Machismo de la Evaluación Multifásica de las Culturas, la Escala de Nivel Socioeconómico y la Escala de Relaciones Padres-Infante. Se evaluó una muestra de 190 cuidadores primarios de niños, niñas y adolescentes de 4 a 16 años (M.edad= 6.98, DS= 4.12), de diferentes países de Latinoamérica.Resultados. Se encontró que a mayores niveles de machismo y vulnerabilidad social, los estilos parentales positivos tendían a disminuir. A su vez, el machismo se asoció de forma negativa con algunas variables socioeconómicas. Conclusión. Es necesario realizar intervenciones desde las políticas públicas para disminuir estos fenómenos, en pos de garantizar estilos parentales de calidad que promuevan el desarrollo óptimo de niños, niñas y adolescentes.

Dry-fermented pork sausages, from Cinta Senese local breed, were manufactured replacing sodium nitrite (NIT) with two mixtures of natural antioxidants consisting of: i) grape seed extract and olive pomace hydroxytyrosol (GSE); ii) chestnut extract and olive pomace hydroxytyrosol (CHE). The effects on physical-chemical, aromatic and sensory traits, as well as the microbiological safety, were tested. Nitrite replacement lowered the pH in GSE and CHE samples and resulted in several differences in physical traits between CHE and NIT samples. Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella and Clostridium botulinum were not found in any samples. GSE and CHE mixtures showed a slightly lower antioxidant activity. Volatile profile showed a similar aromatic profile among the three treatments with differences mainly to abundance of the single compounds, indicating that replacement of nitrite by natural antioxidants did not affect the overall aroma profile, as outlined by olfactometry results. In addition, the replacement did not affect the overall acceptability, except for color-related traits, underscored in GSE and CHE products. ; The research was carried out with funds from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No 634476 (acronym TREASURE).
