Un romanzo in cui, alla minuziosa descrizione storica, si accompagnano reminiscenze di racconti familiari con testimonianze raccolte dall'autore. Aldo Giongo, l'ideatore del gemellaggio tra Povo e Znojmo, ha una penna volutamente asciutta e spesso paratattica, con l'intento di avvicinarsi, quanto maggiormente possibile, allo stile di memoriale, non per questo privando la narrazione di vivacità e freschezza. Stupisce la messe di dati raccolti ed ancor pià la maniera con la quale l'autore ce li rende noti. La storia, le usanze e le vicende di una famiglia Trentina profuga in Moravia sotto lo sfondo sul quale si proietta l'essenza di una civiltà contadina che, a dispetto di uno stereotipo, versatile si adatta alle nuove ed inaspettate circostanze. Formato: 208 p., 24 cm, bross.…

Paperback. Condición: New. This publication outlines the health sector's role in reducing the impact of disasters, laying out a framework that an administrator can rely on to make effective decisions in managing the health sector's activities to reduce the consequences of disasters. It describes the overall effects of disasters on health, highlighting myths and realities, and summarizes how the health sector must organize itself to cope with disasters. The book emphasizes the multisectoral nature of disaster preparedness and sets forth guidelines for preparing health sector disaster plans, means of coordination, and special technical programs before a disaster hits. The book also includes ground-breaking information on the management of supplies in a disaster. The book is primarily aimed at health sector professionals who participate in disaster preparedness, response, and mitigation. Disaster management has become such an intersectoral enterprise, however, that anyone interested in disaster mitigation will find here a useful primer. Public health students and professors also can rely on this book in formal and informal courses.…

Paperback. Condición: New. Preventing and controlling foodborne diseases and protecting consumers has emerged as a serious public health challenge at the onset of the 21st century. This publication details the meeting's discussion on the role of community participation in developing healthy markets and food safety, as well as that on zoonoses that affect the economy and public health, such as brucellosis, bovine tuberculosis, bovine spongiform encephalopathy, and other emerging zoonoses. RIMSA is now a one-of-a-kind forum that provides the highest-level intersectoral coordination between the health and agriculture sectors for the prevention, control, and eradication of socially and economically important zoonoses and other animal diseases, and of foodborne diseases. This report represents the institutional memory of progress made by national programs and is a testimony of the principles of equity and Pan Americanism that have guided PAHO's technical cooperation in veterinary public health.…

Paperback. Condición: New. Dengue, and its potentially fatal forms, dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome, again have become a serious health problem in many parts of the Americas. Although a campaign once practically eradicated Aedes aegypti, the disease's principal vector, from the Region, most of the countries were reinfested and have suffered epidemics due to the curtailing of public expenditure on health that took place during the 1980s. Clearly, a new set of guidelines were needed. The present guidelines stress the fact that dengue is primarily a problem of domestic sanitation. Through physical means and without the overuse of chemicals, A. aegypti and the other important vector, A. albopictus, can be eliminated. Contrary to the centralized and vertically structured programs of the past, these guidelines emphasize ways to transfer the responsibility, capability, and motivation for dengue control and prevention to the community. Prepared by eighteen representatives from seven countries in the Americas and several PAHO staff members, all experts in the field, this publication fills a critical niche in the fight against dengue in the Americas, and is an invaluable tool for health professionals working in vector control everywhere.…

Paperback. Condición: New. In 1994, the Ministers of Health of the Americas adopted the goal of eradicating measles from the Western Hemisphere by the year 2000. Although the countries have made considerable progress toward this goal, scattered outbreaks continue to occur. It is essential that the countries maintain high immunization levels within their populations, especially in light of the threat of reintroduction of measles from other regions of the world. To help the countries of the Americas become and remain measles-free, PAHO has developed a vaccination strategy for outbreak prevention and measles eradication. This publication outlines that strategy and also provides valuable background information about measles in a concise format and easy-to-understand language. Its seven chapters cover such subjects as the epidemiology of measles, clinical aspects of the disease, proper handling and delivery of measles vaccines, and methods of laboratory confirmation of measles infection. The rationale and activities related to the vaccination strategy are explained in depth. The largest section of the book is devoted to surveillance for measles cases and gives guidelines for case investigation, outbreak response, and other components of an effective surveillance system. Attached as appendices are numerous examples of forms that can be copied and modified as needed for local surveillance purposes. There is also an extensive bibliography arranged by subject. The practical information contained in this manual will benefit public health personnel and medical practitioners at all levels. The field guide is an essential tool for anyone involved in administering or carrying out vaccination programs, both in the Americas and elsewhere.…

Paperback. Condición: New. Health in the Americas is considered the most important and most consulted work of all the publications produced by PAHO. This edition consists of two volumes and covers the period 1997-2000. Volume I describes the health situation from a regional perspective and contains a series of chapters that identify and analyze the most important general, demographic, and mortality trends of the period; major determinants of health as seen from a variety of political, social, economic, and financial standpoints; principal trends and characteristics of the ongoing health sector reform movement; the role of individuals and communities in promoting health; the association between the physical environment and human living conditions; principal diseases and health problems; the extent of human and technological resources available to address health issues today; and the status and achievements of international and bilateral cooperation within the context of the growing tendency toward trade globalization. Volume II consists of a breakdown of these same topics by country and covers the 45 nations and territories of the Americas. Other features new to this edition include a discussion of the search for health inequities and how we might reduce them, as well as a greater emphasis on the importance of disaggregating demographical information by sex and incorporating a gender perspective in its analysis. Health in the Americas, 2002 Edition is indisputably a valuable reference tool for health authorities, public health and medical professionals, students, social researchers and all others interested in health in human development issues, including the public at large.…
