Economic benefits from food recovery at the retail stage: An application to Italian food chains

2013

The food supply chain is affected by losses of products near to their expiry date or damaged by improper transportation or production defects. Such products are usually poorly attractive for the consumer in the target market even if they maintain their nutritional properties. On the other hand undernourished people face every day the problem of fulfilling their nutritional needs usually relying on non-profit organizations. In this field the food recovery enabling economic benefits for donors is nowadays seen as a coherent way to manage food products unsalable in the target market for various causes and thus destined to be discarded and disposed to landfill thus representing only a cost.

Mercury and selenium in fish and shellfish: Occurrence, bioaccessibility and uptake by Caco-2 cells

2012

This study evaluates Hg and Se concentrations and bioaccessibility (element solubilised after simulated gastrointestinal digestion) in 16 raw seafood species consumed in Spain. The concentrations varied greatly (Hg, 3.8-1621 ng/g wet weight, ww; Se, 84-1817 ng/g ww). Only one sample of swordfish exceeded the Hg limit permitted in Spain (1mg/kg), and for this sample the Hg/Se molar ratio and Se Health Benefit Value food safety criteria also indicated the presence of a risk. Bioaccessibility of Hg (35-106%) and Se (17-125%) was very variable and the Hg/Se molar ratio in the bioaccessible fraction was less than one for all samples. Transport by Caco-2 cells, an intestinal epithelium model, was…

Mapping the scientific research on wine and health (2001-2011)

2013

[EN] There have been a substantial number of studies suggesting possible health benefits from polyphenols in wine, especially red wine. These hypothetical effects, in addition to those of alcohol, are attributed by many to antioxidant and antiinflammatory effects of the polyphenols. The aim of this paper was to map the scientific research on wine and health by using bibliographic analyses of papers published during the period 2002−2011. Papers were published in 535 different journals and in 106 different subject categories, the most productive journals being the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, Food Chemistry and Molecular Nutrition, and Food Research, and the most productive sub…

Repertori di finestre nei cori benedettini tra Montecassino, Napoli e Palermo (1558-1589): intaglio ligneo e architettura

2022

In the processes of embellishment or reconstruction of the Benedictine churches in southern Italy and in Sicily, during the sixteenth century, great care was put in equipping them with magnificent wooden choirs. This contribution retraces an artistic journey that from the abbey of San Martino delle Scale, near Palermo, passing through the complex of SS. Severino and Sossio in Naples, goes back to the abbey of Montecassino. In fact, the latter is the starting point of the sequence of the three choirs examined, with a specific focus on the architectural themes present in them and in particular the series of windows carved into the backs of the upper stalls. The vicissitudes of the three choir…

Costs-benfits trade-off in the intercation between Medicago truncatula and Pseudomonas fluorescens C7R12 across atmospheric carbon dioxide modulation

2011

The interactions between plants and soil microorganisms are mainly based on trophic relationships. The compounds exchanged represent cost for the organism produces them but a benefit for the one who receive those compounds. A mutualistic relation leads to stability in the cost-benefit balance resulting from a co-evolution between the two organisms. The cost corresponding for the release of carbon compounds by the plant would be offset by benefits in return corresponding for the activities of microorganisms that use them. We tested by an experimental way the effect of CO2 concentration on the interaction between M. truncatula and the bacterium P. fluorescens C7R12. The results allowed a best…

OUTSOURCING ACCOUTING – BENEFITS AND LIMITS IN THE CURRENT ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT IN ROMANIA

2013

Economic environment today can be characterized as unstable and unpredictable result of globalization and the financial crisis. In such a business environment any entity is threatened and face significant challenges due to resource constraints. One way to address current challenges is to outsource accounting work. The aim of the paper is to underline (based on literature review) the benefits and limits of outsourcing accounting in the current economic environment in Romania.

L'incondizionato e l'ambiguo. A proposito di "lasciate che l'uno e l'altra crescano insieme".

2019

Il saggio prende spunto dalla parabola evangelica del grano e della zizzania, per una riflessione sul rapporto tra principio del bene e impronta dell’ambiguo. In dialogo critico con la “saggezza dell’incertezza” (M. Kundera) e attraverso riferimenti a Kant, Nietzsche e alla sensibilità etica post-moderna, ci si domanda se le chances e i rischi che comporta l’ambiguità insita nella condizione esistenziale lascino riconoscere il senso inequivocabile e incondizionato di un dono che interpella. Ovvero un attestarsi del bene di cui l’ambiguo è via di conferma senza potersene fare misura.
