A comparative study on the quality of air in offices and homes.
2013
The main purpose of this study was to collect data on some of the factors that contribute to indoor air quality and to discomfort, in order to take the proper actions that can reduce the level of air pollution within houses and offices. To ascertain the contamination degree total bacterial counts, total fungal counts, suspended particulate matter, air temperature, and relative humidity have been determined. Additionally, mathematical statistical models have been elaborated for the total bacterial count, respirable particulate matter and humidity. A total number of 40 indoor air samples were collected from office and houses. The results shows that approximately 45% of the air samples from ho…
Exposure to bioaerosols and noise at a Finnish dry waste treatment plant
2004
Repeated measurements were carried out during two different campaigns between 1998 and 2001 to assess the occupational hygiene at a Finnish dry waste treatment plant. The analytical determinations were done in four different places within the processing hall of the plant: near a conveyor belt, near a jigger screen, near an after-crusher and near a bailer. Measurements were also carried out in a coffee room for employees. Concentrations of bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes were determined by two methods (six-stage impactor and Camnea method) and levels of endotoxins, dust and noise were also investigated. High concentrations of microbes and endotoxins and the noise level were found to be a …
Le esposizioni universali: spazialità e politiche di rappresentazione
2015
Come possiamo parlare di modernità? Riflettere su un fenomeno come le Esposizioni universali, sulla loro storia, sembra una buona pista per rispondere alla domanda iniziale. Questi spazi spettacolari, inventati nel XIX secolo dalla società occidentale, producono eventi: “montano” città. E’, infatti, il montaggio una delle chiavi che permette di cogliere questo senso di trasformazione che le Esposizioni producono. Il montaggio come elemento della tecnica e come elemento metaforico. Le Esposizioni si presentano come spazi dove il tutto e le parti sono messi in mostra; sono pensate come forme di inventario, di archivi atti a educare e a meravigliare ma il loro significato va oltre le aspettati…
Utilidad de la TC-Colonografía como método de estadificación prequirúrgica del cáncer de colon
2018
- Introducción La correcta estadificación del cáncer de colon (CC) es fundamental para realizar la planificación del abordaje terapéutico en cada caso, y particularmente ante la posibilidad de aplicar nuevas terapias como el tratamiento con quimioterapia neoadyuvante en un futuro. Esto implica la necesidad de disponer de un sistema de estadificación preoperatoria sencillo y fiable, que identifique de forma precisa la localización y el estadio tumoral, que hasta la fecha, se ha realizado habitualmente mediante tomografía computarizada (TC) convencional. - Objetivos Evaluar la exactitud de la Colonografía-TC (CTC) para la determinación de la localización tumoral, del estadio tumoral (T), gang…
Failed Modernization of the Ethiopian State: Oromo Perspectives on Ethiopian Political Culture
2008
This article presents part of the qualitative data generated by the research "Ethnic relations in major towns around Addis Ababa: A comparative Study of the Dynamics of Social Solidarity", based in Addis Ababa University, College of Sociology and Social Administration, funded by the the Ethio-Italian University Co-operation Programme.
Long-term performance of peat biofilters treating ethyl acetate, toluene, and its mixture in air.
2006
Three laboratory-scale peat biofilters were operated at 90 s empty bed residence time (EBRT) for over a year. Biodegradation of ethyl acetate, toluene, or a 1:1 mixture were investigated. In first stage, inlet concentration was progressively increased from 0.4 to 4.5 g/m3. The maximum elimination capacity (EC) found for ethyl acetate was 190 gC/m3·h, and it was not affected by toluene. The maximum EC found for toluene as a sole contaminant was 150 gC/m3·h, but the presence of ethyl acetate decreased the toluene maximum EC to 80 gC/m3·h. From respirometry monitoring, values of 3.19 g CO2/gC and 3.06 g CO2/gC for pure ethyl acetate and pure toluene, respectively, were found, with overall yiel…
L'Europe et le monde colonial au XVIIIe siècle
2013
Variant les approches et les contextes, les contributions de ce volume étudient les échanges, les rapports de pouvoir et de domination, les médiations et les transformations, les interactions et les transferts culturels entre les États européens et leurs colonies dans les espaces américains et asiatiques à l'âge des Lumières. Le phénomène colonial a, par son caractère protéiforme, permis de croiser les regards dans un esprit d'interdisciplinarité stimulante et féconde comme en témoigne la nouveauté des perspectives développées ici. Autour de l'idée de représentation - définie comme production d'images et de figures aux sens culturel, identitaire, politique et esthétique du terme - sont réun…
Leaps and bounds: geographical and ecological distance constrained the colonisation of the Afrotemperate by Erica.
2018
Abstract Background The coincidence of long distance dispersal (LDD) and biome shift is assumed to be the result of a multifaceted interplay between geographical distance and ecological suitability of source and sink areas. Here, we test the influence of these factors on the dispersal history of the flowering plant genus Erica (Ericaceae) across the Afrotemperate. We quantify similarity of Erica climate niches per biogeographic area using direct observations of species, and test various colonisation scenarios while estimating ancestral areas for the Erica clade using parametric biogeographic model testing. Results We infer that the overall dispersal history of Erica across the Afrotemperate…

Transnational Political Activities of the Swedish Finn Youth Organization
2017
This article looks at the Swedish Finn Youth Organization’s transnational political activities, and how they have developed. In the beginning, the youth organization modelled itself after its mother organization and joined the Finnish Expatriate Parliament (FEP), which made its participation in transnational practices easy. The case study of the Swedish Finn Youth Organization in Stockholm, Sweden, demonstrates that if the younger generation is given an opportunity to establish and govern their own associations, new forms of organization can be expected. The younger generation has distinguished itself from the older generation’s associations by cooperating with other minorities and taking m…
