Validation of Methylmercury Determinations in Aquatic Systems by Alkyl Derivatization Methods for GC Analysis Using ICP-IDMS
2001
Isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS), using an inductively coupled plasma quadrupole mass spectrometer (ICPMS) and a species-specific methylmercury spike was applied to validate the commonly used GC method for methylmercury (MeHg+) determination, which is based on the formation of volatile methylethylmercury by derivatization with NaBEt4. The spike compound, Me201Hg+, was synthesized by reaction of 201Hg-enriched mercury chloride with methylcobalamin. By analyzing different environmental aquatic samples, it was found that in most cases, transformation of MeHg+ into elemental mercury (Hg0) took place. From investigations of synthetic solutions, it could be followed that halide ions are …
Depth profiling of Pu, 241Am and 137Cs in soils from southern Belarus measured by ICP-MS and alpha- and gamma-spectrometry
2003
The depth distribution of plutonium, americium, and Cs-137 originating front the 1986 accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) was investigated in several soil profiles in the vicinity from Belarus. The vertical migration of transuranic elements in soils typical of the 30 km relocation area around Chernobyl NPP was studied using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), alpha spectrometry, and gamma spectrometry. Transuranic concentrations in upper soil layers ranged from 6 x 10(-12) g g(-1) to 6 x 10(-10) g g(-1) for plutonium and from 1.8 x 10(-13) g g(-1) to 1.6 x 10(-11) g g(-1) for americium. These concentrations correspond to specific activities of Pu239+240 of…
Warum ist Pränataldiagnostik in der Diskussion? Eine Einführung
2017
Prenatal diagnosis has been a subject of intense discussion since it became technically achievable. This is because the results it provides can dramatically change the attitude of mothers towards their unborn children, and can lead to considerable social pressure to abort the child. These undesirable effects might come as a surprise, given that prenatal testing was primarily intended to allow better care for infants waiting to be born. The possible risks of invasive procedures and the only statistical evidence of results are the factors most responsible for the ambivalent attitudes that surround prenatal diagnosis. Another significant factor is the discrepancy between the general availabili…
Bicultural couples: from family to community
2012
The paper examines the dynamics of bicultural couples in which one partner is autochthonous and the other is of foreign nationality. Two levels of analysis were considered: a macro level studying the identity of place in reference to the general social context and the residential neighbourhood, in particular; the second level refers to the dynamics of the couple and examines the strategies for managing differences between partners and the educational styles adopted in the presence of children. According to the basic assumptions of qualitative research, 22 mixed couples living in Sicily were interviewed. To analyse the contents which emerged from interviews the Atlas.ti software was used. Th…
Figli adulti di divorzi ostili
2021
L’articolo propone una rassegna della letteratura relativa agli effetti a breve e lungo termine del divorzio coniugale sui figli adulti e giovani adulti. La ricerca internazionale relativa alle conseguenze del divorzio sul benessere psi- cologico dei figli ha spesso trascurato l’impatto che l’evento separativo e i cam- biamenti ad esso connessi possono avere sulla vita e sulle scelte dei figli adul- ti. Il vissuto del sentirsi “intrappolati” nel conflitto coniugale sembra avere esiti a lungo termine e influenzare differentemente la relazione con il padre e con la madre. L’articolo, attraverso un’esemplificazione clinica, si concentra anche sulle conseguenze del divorzio sulla qualità delle …

Ecological risk assessment of pesticides in the Mijares River (eastern Spain) impacted by citrus production using wide-scope screening and target qua…
2021
The widespread use of pesticides, especially in agricultural areas, makes necessary to control their presence in surrounding surface waters. The current study was designed to investigate the occurrence and ecological risks of pesticides and their transformation products in a Mediterranean river basin impacted by citrus agricultural production. Nineteen sites were monitored in three campaigns distributed over three different seasons. After a qualitative screening, 24 compounds was selected for subsequent quantitative analysis. As expected, the lower section of the river was most contaminated, with total concentration >5 µg/L in two sites near to the discharge area of wastewater treatment pla…

The “Law in Context” for (Stepchild) Adoption in Same-Sex Couples: The Italian Models
2019
This essay focuses on a recent development in Italian family law with respect to stepchild adoption in cases involving same-sex couples. Resorting to arguments of both the continuity of the affective relationship and the best interests of the child, courts have been willing to permit adoptions in these cases under Article 44 of L. 184/1983 (“Adoption Act”), which provides for “adoption in particular cases” (“APC”). This article provides a special (not exceptional) tool, that, at the time it was drafted, was not contemplated for stepchild adoption by a parent’s same-sex partner, but could be adapted for such situations. This has remained the case even after the legislative choice not to gran…
