Cultura e turismo? Limiti e potenzialità dello sviluppo turistico sostenibile a Gorée, Senegal e Ilha de Moçambique, Mozambico by Elisa Magnani

“…Questo articolo si propone di analizzare Gorée et Ilha de Mozambique, isole che sono state riconosciute WHS sulla base della loro rilevanza per la storia coloniale, per la loro architettura e come simboli della tratta degli schiavi : un elemento di grande fascino per i turisti culturali e della memoria.Tuttavia, sebbene siano dotate di un patrimonio culturale di primaria importanza, che le ha trasformate in simboli per la storia globale, Gorée e Ilha non sono ancora state in grado di promuovere le loro risorse culturali in maniera efficace, in grado cioè di incidere significativamente sulla riduzione della povertà, e le povere condizioni d vita della popolazione residente sta mettendo in pericolo la sopravvivenza delle risorse culturali stesse.…”

Practice patterns among early-career primary care (ECPC) physicians and workforce planning implications: protocol for a mixed methods study by Richard J Gibson, Tara Sampalli, Tara Kiran, Richard H Glazier, Agnes Grudniewicz, Kimberlyn McGrail, David Snadden, Ian Scott, M Ruth Lavergne, Laurie J Goldsmith, David Rudoler, Emily Gard Marshall, Megan Ahuja, Doug Blackie, Fred Burge, Steve Hawrylyshyn, Lindsay Hedden, Jacalynne Hernandez-Lee, Kathleen Horrey, Mike Joyce, Adrian MacKenzie, Maria Mathews, Rita McCracken, Madeleine McKay, Charmaine McPherson, Goldis Mitra, Gail Tomblin Murphy, Sabrina T Wong

“…The goal of this study is to inform primary care planning by: (1) identifying values and preferences shaping the practice intentions and choices of family medicine residents and early career PCPs, (2) comparing practice patterns of early-career and established PCPs to determine if changes over time reflect cohort effects (attributes unique to the most recent cohort of PCPs) or period effects (changes over time across all PCPs) and (3) integrating findings to understand the dynamics among practice intentions, practice choices and practice patterns and to identify policy implications.Methods and analysis We plan a mixed-methods study in the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Ontario and Nova Scotia. We will conduct semi-structured in-depth interviews with family medicine residents and early-career PCPs and analyse survey data collected by the College of Family Physicians of Canada. …”
