Conclusions.This book deals with the social exclusion of Romanies ('Gypsies') in Italy. Based on interviews with Romani individuals, institutional and Civil Society Organisations' (CSOs) representatives, participant observation and a broad range of secondary sources, the volume focuses on the conditions of those living in Rome's urban slums and on the recent implementation of the so-called 'Emergenza Nomadi' (Nomad Emergency). The enactment of this extraordinary measure concealed the existence of a long-established institutional tradition of racism and control directed at Romanies. It was not the result of a sudden, unexpected situation which required an immediate action, as the declaration of an 'emergency' might imply, but rather of a precise government strategy. By providing an investigation into the interactions between Romanies, local institutions and CSOs, this book will deliver a new perspective on the Romani issue by arguing that the 'camp' is not only a tool for institutional control and segregation, but also for 'resistance', as well as a huge business in which everyone plays their part.Mapping Global Racisms,2946-3149Social structureEqualityRacePolitical sociologySocial StructureRace and Ethnicity StudiesPolitical SociologySocial structure.Equality.Race.Political sociology.Social Structure.Race and Ethnicity Studies.Political Sociology.305Armillei Riccardoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut890798BOOK9910300596703321The ‘Camps System’ in Italy1989860UNINA03344nam 2200457z- 450 991034673760332120210211(CKB)4920000000094338(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/55640(oapen)doab55640(EXLCZ)99492000000009433820202102d2018 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierParasite Infections: From Experimental Models to Natural SystemsFrontiers Media SA20181 online resource (294 p.)Frontiers Research Topics2-88945-485-1 Eukaryotic parasites (including parasitic protozoans, worms and arthropods) are more complex and heterogeneous organisms than pathogenic bacteria and viruses. This notion implies different evolutionary strategies of host exploitation. Typically, parasites establish long-term infections and induce relatively little mortality, as they often limit pathological changes by modulating host cells and downregulating adverse immune responses. Their pattern of distribution tends to be endemic rather than epidemic. Despite these seemingly benign traits, parasites usually cause substantial chronic morbidity, thus constituting an enormous socioeconomic burden in humans, particularly in resource poor countries, and in livestock worldwide. Parasite-induced fitness costs are an evolutionary force that can shape populations and contribute to species diversity. Therefore, a thorough understanding of parasites and parasitic diseases requires detailed knowledge of the respective biochemical, molecular and immunological aspects as well as of population genetics, epidemiology and ecology. This Research Topic (RT) bridges disciplines to connect molecular, immunological and wildlife aspects of parasitic infections. The RT puts emphases on four groups of parasites: Plasmodium, Toxoplasma, Giardia and intestinal helminths. Co-infections are also covered by the RT as they represent the most common form of parasite infections in wildlife and domestic animal populations. Within the four types of parasites the following topics are addressed: (1) Experimental models: hypothesis testing, translation and limits. (2) Critical appraisal of experimental models. (3) Natural systems: Technological advances for investigations in natural parasite-host systems and studies in natural systems. (4) The urgent need for better models and methods in natural parasite systems. Hence, the RT covers and illustrate by the means of four main parasitic infections the parasite-host system at the molecular, cellular and organismic level.Parasite InfectionsPlasmodislemacexperimental modelGiardiaHelminthnatural systemParasite InfectionPlasmodiumProtozoaToxoplasmaPlasmodisToni Aebischerauth1329310Susanne HartmannauthKai MatuschewskiauthBOOK9910346737603321Parasite Infections: From Experimental Models to Natural Systems3039411UNINA
