Learning the language of the hosting country is a key factor for the integration of people coming from abroad but this objective could be achieved only if political institutions promote initiatives in this direction. Researchers in the field can cooperate, providing their expertise. In this paper we present two research activities concerning the use and the production of multilingual resources developed at the Institute for Computational Linguistics "Antonio Zampolli". More specifically, we report on the creation of a multilingual glossary of difficult terms extracted from forms that people submit to the municipality of Genova to access public services. We also describe the experimental use in a primary school of ImagAct, a multilingual lexical resource focused on action verbs consulted by pupils to create a vocabulary of food preparation in Italian, English, Chinese and Spanish.

Introduction. The increase in chronic degenerative diseases poses many challenges to the efficacy and sustainability of healthcare systems, establishing the family and community nurse (FCN) who delivers primary care as a strategic role. FCNs, indeed, can embrace the complexity of the current healthcare demand, sustain the ageing of the population, and focus on illness prevention and health promotion, ensuring a continuous and coordinated integration between hospitals and primary care ser. The literature on FCNs is rich but diverse. This study aimed to critically summarise the literature about the FCN, providing an overall view of the recent evidence. Methods. A state-of-art systematic review was performed on PubMed, CINAHL, and Scopus, employing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement and checklist to guide the search and reporting. Results. Five interpretative themes emerged from the 90 included articles: clinical practice, core competencies, outcomes, Organisational and educational models, and advanced training program. Conclusions. FCNs can make a major contribution to a population's health, playing a key role in understanding and responding to patients' needs. Even if the investment in prevention does not guarantee immediate required strategies and foresight on the part of decisionmakers, it is imperative to invest more political, institutional, and economic resources to support and ensure the FCNs' competencies and their professional autonomy.
