Background: according to the literature, socially disadvantaged strata of the population, including immigrants, have been more vulnerable to the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection due to greater exposure and less opportunity to protect themselves, and to COVID-19 complications due to metabolic and clinical risk factors as well as to healthcare access barriers. Two Italian projects - coordinated by the Italian National Institute for Health, Migration and Poverty and the Italian National Centre for Disease Prevention and Control - set up an epidemiological surveillance to monitor the temporal trends of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in five Italian regions using validated indicators.
Objectives: to identify differences between Italians and immigrants in terms of the epidemic evolution and its health consequences, and to investigate possible differences by urbanisation degree and region of residence.

Alien hand syndrome (AHS) is a rare condition in which a brain-injured patient develops involuntary movements, particularly in the upper limbs, along with difficulty in controlling them and a loss of ownership of the affected hand. AHS is traditionally classified into frontal, callosal, and occipital types. Recently, mixed types have also been reported.

Unlabelled: Invasive alien species represent a major threat to global biodiversity and the sustenance of ecosystems. Globally, mountain ecosystems have shown a degree of resistance to invasive species due to their distinctive ecological features. However, in recent times, the construction of linear infrastructure, such as roads, might weaken this resistance, especially in the Mediterranean basin region.

Article Synopsis
- Linear transportation infrastructures can fragment species habitats, yet their verges (such as grass strips or embankments) may provide continuous habitats and corridors for vascular plants in temperate ecosystems.
- The researchers conducted a comprehensive literature review to evaluate whether these verges can effectively support biodiversity, focusing on vascular plants and assessing various studies for relevance and bias.
- The findings synthesized in this paper underscore the potential role of verges as habitats, but also highlight the complexities and controversies surrounding their conservation value amid landscape management practices.
