  • Health in Italy in the 21St Century
    FOREWORD Rosy Bindi Minister of Health of Italy Roma, September 1999 This report provides the international community with an overall assessment of the state of health in Italy, as well as with the main developments of the Italian public health policy expected in the near future. It is intended as an important contribution towards the activities which, beginning with the 49th WHO Regional Committee in Florence, will be carried out in Europe with a view to defining health policies and strategies for the new century. This publication, which consists of two sections, illustrates the remarkable health achievements of Italy as regards both the control of diseases and their determinants, and the health care services. Overall, a clearly positive picture emerges, which is due not only to the environmental and cultural characteristics of Italy, but also to its health protection and care system which Italy intends to keep and indeed to improve in the interest of its citizens. The recent decisions taken in the framework of the reform of the National Health System in Italy intend to improve and strengthen the model of a universal health system based on equity and solidarity, which considers health as a fundamental human right irrespective of the economic, social and cultural conditions of each citizen. The new national health service guarantees, through its public resources, equal opportunities for accessing health services as well as homogenous and essential levels of health care throughout the country. Such a reorganization of the system has become necessary in order to meet new and growing demands for health within the framework of limited resources and with the understanding that equity in health is not only an ethical requirement, but also a rational and efficient way for allocating resources.

Rising costs and delays Chinook, the Mi-17v5, and the S-61T. in delivery raised the question of whether other cost-effective • Availability will also be a factor in determining options exist to meet Tunisia’s helicopter requirement. whether these helicopters are viable alternatives. Approach Our team conducted a preliminary assessment of alternative helicopters for counterterrorism air assault missions. Any decision to acquire an aircraft must consider many factors, including technical effectiveness, cost, maintainability, production-line capacity, training and sup- port availability, industrial offsets, and domestic and international political implications. In this preliminary analysis, we focus on the question of cost-effectiveness in the UH-60M’s primary role: Which alternative platforms could perform the assault mission, and at what cost? The core of our analysis is detailed modeling of key “mission tasks” on a sortie-by-sortie basis. Our model uses raw technical data—such as specific range, hover performance, and weight limits—to simulate the flight of each alternative platform through each sortie. This enables us to assess which platforms can per- form the required sorties, as well as how many aircraft are needed.

  • Actions of the Tunisian Army in Gafsa in 2008 and During the Uprising of 2011
    ASPJ Africa & Francophonie - 2nd Quarter 2016 Actions of the Tunisian Army in Gafsa in 2008 and during the Uprising of 2011 LANDRY SIGNÉ, PHD* RÉMY SMIDA n 12 January 2011, Rachid Ammar, the Tunisian army’s chief of staff, refused an order from President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali to shoot at protesters. Two days later, Ben Ali left the country, and the regime transition began. This event is too often neglected by the literature in explaining the Tunisian transition. Although street protests were necessary for Oinitiating a change of regime, the occurrence of such protests does not suffice to explain the speed with which the transition actually happened. Instead, the ques- tion this article seeks to answer is why such a strong regime, feared by the entire population, collapsed one month after popular protests began. Without neglect- ing the importance of popular pressure, we argue that the army played a central role in the fall of Ben Ali. Why did it refuse the president’s order to open fire at the demonstrators? This article is the first attempt to compare two consecutive events during which the army decided whether or not to open fire at its own population: the 2008 protests in the city of Gafsa and the massive revolutionary protests of early 2011. What are the rationales behind such decisions? Had the army had its fill of the generalized, corrupt regime organized around Ben Ali’s personality, or did it choose to back the 2011 protests because it was simply better off for doing so? We tackle questions surrounding the issue of what consequences this decision had on the key actors of the uprising—specifically, Ben Ali, the demonstrators, and the French government.

  • Soils of Tunisia
    Soils of Tunisia Amor Mtimet1 Introduction Pedological studies based on soil survey, photo- interpretation, laboratory analysis, and remote sensing, were implemented in Tunisia since more than half-century. The magnitude of these surveys is so high that they practically cover the whole territory of the country. They were aimed mainly at acquiring better knowledge of country’s soil re- sources in order to use them in land reclamation and agricultural development projects. Therefore, Tunisia is among the few African countries where abundant soil data and studies are available.
