World against coal, damage to climate, health, economy - ANSA.it

Into ROME – The world mobilizes’ against coal considered a” harm to the environment, health and the economy.” While on the twitter hashtag # endcoal travels to trend levels, on the site ‘endtheageofcoal.org’ you can get information for the Day against fossil” more ‘polluting”, scheduled for tomorrow. At the cry ‘End the age of coal’, slogan of the event to ‘turn off’ the energy source” more ‘dirty that there is”, involving both the WWF Greenpeace.

Now, if at international signals on the fight against CO2 emissions (of which coal is considered primarily responsible) are these days relaxing, especially after the announcement of a G reen Plan by Barack Obama, in Italy – say WWF and Greenpeace – if uses it still too high. This inquiry ‘of the past” deliver an energy source hazardous to health and the climate.”

The association of Panda remember that in our country, for example, there are two of the 30 plants coal” more ‘pollutants in Europe, both owned”’ Enel Brindisi south, in ninth place, and that of Civitavecchia, 14 / or place, which together emit nearly 23 million tons of CO2 per ‘year. In Italy, according to” 13” and” coal power plants in 2010 produced about 39,734 GWh (gigawatt hours), contributing to 11, 6% of the total electricity needs, have produced about 35 million tons of CO2 corresponding to more than 30% of all emissions of the national electricity system.” Just in Civitavecchia Greenpeace held a protest against the use of coal in the sea, in front of the power plant, opened a huge banner floating of 1, 500 square meters with the words ‘No to coal, coal quit’. From a ranking made by Greenpeace on CO2 emissions from large plants in 2012 in our country shows that Enel’s Brindisi south would issue 12.2 million tons, followed by there ‘Torrevaldaliga north with 10.4 million tons , in third place, close to the podium, there ‘Ilva Taranto with 10.3 million tons. In fourth place is the square of Taranto plant property ‘of Taranto energy (7.5 million tonnes) and the fifth Sarroch Saras refinery (5.9 million tons).

” E ‘come – says Andrea Boraschi, head of Greenpeace’s climate and energy campaign – time for a change and the government must assume its responsibility”’. But in Italy, says the WWF, despite the Planet” is going in another direction,” you are still thinking of converting coal to the Central Porto Tolle in the park of the Po Delta, open a new one in Saline and Joniche expand to V ado Ligure. ” The WWF asks that you put aside the decision with plans for new coal-fired plants – said Kim Carstensen, head of Climate and Energy, WWF Italy – are also closed existing coal plants, starting from the most ‘polluting the climate and the health”.

INITIATIVE

A guide to healthy aging

There are more than 65 million over-65s in Italy. A “silver dot” to verify the quality of care in Rsa

Into

More than twelve million people over sixty Italian. Still “young” compared to those who had the same age as only 50 years ago. Still “young” compared to their peers in other countries (excluding Japan), thanks to an efficient public health service so far. A multitude likely to increase because it is happening with regard to the Italian average longevity. In shape and good health for years yes yet, but sooner or later destined to present conditions of frailty, disability and concomitant set of various diseases and chronic conditions. Elderly who may, if family circumstances do not allow otherwise, end their lives in a nursing home (Rsa). And here are not always treated as they should, sometimes bad. Here is the need for a monitoring organization of these structures. The proposal comes from Ancona, where the network “Long-lived Italian” presented his next targets: a guide to healthy aging (“Learning longevity”) and a “sil ver dot” for checking the quality of care in Rsa.

THE REPORT CARD – So older people themselves and their families will be able to choose on the basis of a sort of “report card” compiled by experts. “Long-lived Italian” is the national network of aging research, established by the Ministry of Health with the Marche Region and the Scientific Institute of geriatrics INRCA of Ancona. It ‘directed by Roberto Bernabei, geriatrician and neuroscientist at the Catholic University of Rome. “The manual – says Bernabei – offers a glimpse into the habits of life of the peoples of the oldest in the world, identified through the five ‘All Blue’ with the greatest number of centenarians. Which have been summarized into simple rules of everyday life: from diet to having a purpose, faith, family and social network. With prevention rules. “

STANDARDS – The project for the upliftment of the standard of care offered by RSA, however, is based on data collected in various Italian regions and identifies specific indicators of quality, in order to create a system of certification of the level of care provided by each facility. A tentativo of colmare a vuoto, perché in Italia attualmente not esiste alcun meccanismo of controllo dell’appropriatezza and the qualità dell’assistenza erogata. A dedicated website will know in real time the quality of the services provided in each of the care facilities in the country.

Our health sold at 26 cents here is the business of thieves ... - The Republic

The investigation: who spy / 5. From the U.S. to Italy, assault to the data. “Offered ACASE pharmaceutical and insurance”

MILAN – 007, gall bladder operation. The Cold War is over, the lights have learned to recycle. And in a world where health is priceless and diseases are worth gold, the new frontier of Big Brother is the theft of the web (and sale) of all the most intimate secrets of our health. The health systems of the world – has admitted a few months ago in an alarming bulletin the Department to American security – are vulnerable to a sieve “that jeopardizes health and privacy of citizens.” Into Someone’s already noticed: the market – black, but not only – it is full of insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies and lawyers prepared to pay handsomely (in some cases under the table) the values ??of our blood pressure, the list of medicines that we take our curriculum and failure. Objective: To deny us life insurance policie s or assumptions, propose miracle cures or send ad hoc publicity if we are hypertensive or hemophiliacs. Where there is demand, it is an old law of capitalism, check the offer: and so from 2009 to today – calculates the Office of Civil Rights U.S. – diseases of the thieves got their hands on the medical records of more than 22 million Americans. How? By entering illegally into the databases of hospitals, stealing laptops and even intercepting (it happens more and more often) wireless data transmitted to doctors from defibrillators and insulin pumps implanted under the skin.

The loot, given the prices

currents, it is potentially billionaire. The medical record – strictly anonymous – a single patient of diabetes or cancer is worth 26 cents on the legitimate market (rate of Leadplease. Com according to the Financial Times ), discounted to € 0.14 for those who buy wholesale from 50 to 100 thousand. These figures in the gray area of ??l awlessness – where in the file, in addition to health data is a valuable commodity such as name, surname and address of the person – you can multiply by 10. Laurie Napper – lab technician at Howard University Hospital in Washington – has just been sentenced to six months’ imprisonment for selling semi-complete data of 40 patients at $ 2100, $ 52.5 each. The temptation is strong. And even in Australia the Government was forced to stop in the area Cesarini the project for the national electronic health card (the doctor identikit of every citizen) after that only in the experimental phase were recorded over a thousand suspected intrusion in a computer system, in theory, supposed to be bombproof.

No wonder. “The information of this type are the currency of the future,” said Ken candid Riff Medtronic. To serve the pharmaceutical industry to save big on research, evaluate drugs that doctors prescribe and plan marketing strategies and advertising. They are used by the giants of supplementary pension schemes to reduce the cost of health care by working on prevention. How much is for them to know how we are and the value of our cholesterol? Especially, if it is true that the Johnson and Johnson – been concerned by the cost of medical coverage for employees – offers $ 500 to its employees who share the company’s health curriculum. It adds 250 to those who agree to undergo regular colonoscopy as.

THE DATABASES OF HEALTH

Whenever we do tests, we are hospitalized or we donate blood, we leave behind a small gold mine of information that the stakes of privacy, unfortunately, defe nd only in fits and starts.

The America say – where 50% of medical information is online and their sale, McKinsey estimates will be worth $ 10 billion in 2020 – has very strict rules: this data can be sold legally by those who guards them (not the patients) only if “cleaned” 18 well-defined parameters such as address, name, age, sex. And they do already in many, twelve states have placed nearly two million medical records without a name (in theory) to insurance companies and the Department of Health brothers cashing something like 2 million euro in 2011. So did the British National Health Service which has a tariff ad hoc (8 thousand pounds for a package of a few thousand “file”, 140 pounds more for options such as age, sex and geolocation of each) for your records. And the Bupa – one of the biggest security reality of London – has already been set in line to detect block the service.

Too bad that the algorithms of Big Data hasten much faster wit h the rules on data protection personal. And as shown by a pair of recent research, a software just a little ‘sophisticated to be able to combine to different types of these legalissime identity cards medical sale a face and a specific person. “Needless illusions, those who give their health data to a structure to be seriously privacy,” says Latanya Sweeney of Harvard University. But stopping a runaway train is difficult: Washington has allocated 30 billion to computerize medical all memory of the country (which would save $ 450 billion a year on health care costs, says McKinsey). And in front of figures of this kind also the sacred right to privacy falters.

FACE ITALIAN

And Italy? Delays computer of Italy, in this case a virtue. It gave time to the guarantor to try to lock down meshed – where possible – the secrets of the patients. Insurance, experts and employers, to say, they can not access our Electronic Health Record, the identikit of the personal data kept by the health service in the heart of computer. A card can save your life in case of emergency and available only from doctors and hospitals explicitly indicated by the patient.

Even here, however, the risk of loopholes in the system are high. A few years ago the police have dismantled a network of 1,500 physicians who had gathered in the cooperative sold to pharmaceutical companies for about € 2 million data of 1.5 million people. Where there are no bad guys, it affects the genetic approximation flag. The Authority of Antonello Soro had to intervene because the software of the Health Record in Friuli, one of the most advanced experiments in the country, put at the disposal of all physicians in the region (and not only to the care provider) data of all patients. The guarantor has blocked also published on the websites of 26 municipalities of data on citizens for which you provided for the mandatory medical treatment, where they were placed next to the name and surname as well as assessments “person with suicidal tendencies.” The Puglia region took 45 thousand euro fine for having published on the corporate website of sensitive information 5 thousand disabled people who had benefited from subsidies for the purchase of computers. Initiative that has fed on the black market of medical records a small fortune. In the viewfinder is over as well a private Roman after providing free services as part of a campaign to prevent the mandatory then turn without applying for consent to pharmaceutical companies. Business is business. Although the best one he did the daughter of a doctor Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Florida, which has sold three x-rays for $ 45,000. But it was a rare piece: it was chest films of Marilyn Monroe.
