Enfermería y adicciones: las nuevas tendencias
2004
El Centro Provincial de Drogodependencias y Adicciones de Málaga, tradicionalmente le ha encomendado a enfermería la recepción, análisis y gestión de la demanda que acude al Centro.En el último año estamos observando un aumento importante en la demanda por problemas derivados del consumo de cocaína, tanto en su forma de clorhidrato (esnifada) como en la forma de base libre (fumada).Hemos comparado los rasgos de personalidad, extraídos del cuestionario autoaplicado para "La Entrevista Clínica Estructurada para los Trastornos de Personalidad del Eje II del DSM-IV" (SCID II), de las personas que pedían ayuda por problemas derivados del consumo de sustancias, con los rasgos de personalidad de u…
Marco conceptual en el que se inscriben los cuidados enfermeros a las personas drogodependientes en la salud mental: aspectos éticos, legales y asist…
2004
El presente artículo pretende describir un marco conceptual donde s'e inscriben los cuidados enfermeros, desde las bases y la filosofía del enfermero generalista a través de los conocimientos, habilidades y técnicas necesarias para la misión de CUIDAR en el ámbito de la Salud Mental y de las Drogodependencias desde una concepción integral de la persona y de la salud.Se parte del momento histórico situado en los años 70 por la trascendencia que tuvo para la enfermería de nuestro país, la transformación del plan de estudios de Ayudante Técnico Sanitario en la Diplomatura Universitaria de Enfermería. Así mismo se hacen las ineludibles referencias a la legislación vigente en materia de Salud Me…
La enfermería y la salud mental: un enfoque histórico
2004
Los enfermos mentales han recibido cuidados especiales a lo largo de la Historia, en los que han participado activamente personas con funciones de enfermería.En este estudio hemos investigado en dos archivos relevantes, Valencia y Granada y trabajado sobre documentación de cuatro destacados hospitales, con objeto de cono¬cer sus actividades de cuidados de enfermos mentales y la participación de los mismos del personal de enfermería (o personal con funciones equivalentes).Hemos podido observar que desde el siglo XV en Valencia y Zaragoza, siglo XVI en Granada y mucho después (siglo XIX) en Almería, existían hospitales con estructuras especiales para el cuidado de los enfermos mentales y con …
Energetic Sustainability Using Renewable Energies in the Mediterranean Sea
2016
The paper is focused on the analysis of the electrical energy sector in the Maltese islands, focusing on the employment of Renewable Energies in order to increase its energy independence. The main renewable source here proposed is wave energy: thanks to its strategic position, Malta will be able to generate electrical energy through the use of an innovative type of Wave Energy Converter (WEC) based on the prototype of linear generator designed and developed by the University of Palermo. This new technology will be able to cut down the electrical energy production from traditional power plants and, consequently, the greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). Wave energy source and off-shore photovoltai…
Sustainability evaluation of Sicily's lemon and orange production: An energy, economic and environmental analysis
2013
The island of Sicily has a long standing tradition in citrus growing. We evaluated the sustainability of orange and lemon orchards, under organic and conventional farming, using an energy, environmental and economic analysis of the whole production cycle by using a life cycle assessment approach. These orchard systems differ only in terms of a few of the inputs used and the duration of the various agricultural operations. The quantity of energy consumption in the production cycle was calculated by multiplying the quantity of inputs used by the energy conversion factors drawn from the literature. The production costs were calculated considering all internal costs, including equipment, materi…
Anaerobic digestion of organic solid poultry slaughterhouse waste – a review
2002
This work reviews the potential of anaerobic digestion for material recovery and energy production from poultry slaughtering by-products and wastes. First, we describe and quantify organic solid by-products and wastes produced in poultry farming and poultry slaughterhouses and discuss their recovery and disposal options. Then we review certain fundamental aspects of anaerobic digestion considered important for the digestion of solid slaughterhouse wastes. Finally, we present an overview of the future potential and current experience of the anaerobic digestion treatment of these materials.
Design issues for wind farms grid tied Inverter
2017
In this paper the Authors give indications for the design of a grid tied Voltage Source Inverters (VSI) aimed to optimal use in energy conversion from wind source. In particular, the design of the inverter is more focused on the control system planning, with a particular glance on the grid synchronization problem. After the exposition of general issues concerning renewable energies and associated topics, the case of a grid tied inverter is considered and a methodology of design is sketched starting from the consideration of the DC side and also considering the power device losses, the protection issue against over voltages and over-currents, snubber circuits, heat sinks and, finally the con…
Experimental characterization of a wind generator prototype for sustainable small wind farms
2016
This paper presents the experimental characterization of a wind turbine prototype used for micro wind farms. The proposed prototype, whose advantages can be summarized in versatility of application, low noise and compactness, can generate 1 kW of rated power for a wind speed equal to 4 m/s. The tests here reported and carried out by means of an experimental test bench confirm that the prototype is well designed and adequate for the purpose of its application.
Eletric vehicles impact using renewable energy
2015
In this moment, the principle topics for the modern world are the reduction of environmental pollution and the production of energy from renewable sources (for example photovoltaic system, wind farm, hydroelectric plants, etc.). This particular attention is determined by different reasons, in particular from the Kyoto Protocol, and from different problems as greenhouse effect, acid rain and climate change. The scope of this work is to study, for different years (1997-2013) in Italy, the production of electric energy from renewable and non-renewable. At a later stage, the attention will be on the consumption of the electric energy divided for different sectors. In particular, we study the po…
Energy performances and life cycle assessment of an Italian wind farm
2008
Abstract Renewable energy sources are often presented as “ clean ”. A more correct definition is that they are “cleaner” than ones based on fossil fuel conversion. When the energy consumption and the environmental impacts related to the plant's life-cycle are considered, a more comprehensive assessment of these technologies can be carried out. This paper aims to evaluate the energy and the environmental performances of the electricity production of a wind farm. The impacts related to all the phases of the wind farm construction and operation have been compared to the environmental benefits due to the “green” electricity generation during its useful life. In other terms, the goal is to trace…
