Biological Stability of Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Wastes During Composting Processes

2018

The article shows results of monitoring of a Sicilian composting plant (southern Italy). In particular, the biological stability of the organic fraction of municipal solid wastes has been monitored. Two experimental periods have been carried out: (1) plant start-up and (2) first operation period. The biological stability has been evaluated throughout the dynamic respiration index (DRI). This index was determined at different stages of process, for each phase. To our knowledge, no work has been previously published on the monitoring of composting plants in southern Italy. This work has the originality of using the DRI measured data for improving operation of a full-scale composting plant, ra…

Relationship between dysfunctional eating patterns and binge drinking in young people and associated risk factors

2022

La joventut (compresa entre els 18 i 30 anys) es considera un període de vulnerabilitat, en què és freqüent observar trastorns alimentaris, consum de drogues i una major tendència a buscar noves sensacions i comportaments de risc, entre moltes altres conductes. En concret, hi ha dos comportaments molt prevalents en els joves i s'associen amb conseqüències de salut molt negatives: el consum de menjar ultraprocessat i el consum d'alcohol. Tot i això, el problema no rau només en el tipus de consum (és a dir, beure alcohol o menjar menjar ràpid), sinó també en com es consumeix l'alcohol o el menjar. L'afartament es caracteritza per la ingesta de grans quantitats de menjar (afartament de menjar)…

Hydrolate and EO Application to Reduce Decay of Carica papaya during Storage

2023

Postharvest fruit loss is caused by the absence of advanced handling and storage technologies and the quiescent presence of fungal pathogens. Therefore, there is a growing demand for sustainable decisions for the planet. This study focused on the use of two types of edible coatings: one was based on the essential oil of Origanum vulgare L. subsp. viridulum with Aloe arborescens Mill. gel (EC1), and the other was based on the hydrolate only (EC2). These treatments were applied to provide defense against fungal infections in papaya (Carica papaya L. cv Solo), and the storage time was 25 days (T5 ± 1 °C). Fruits coated with EC1 were more contaminated with fungal pathogens than both control (CT…

Occupational Well‐being among Aging Teachers in Finland

1994

Abstract This article presents an examination of occupational well‐being among teachers in Finland who are over 45‐years of age (n = 1012). Occupational well‐being was described by affective (job anxiety and depression, burnout), behavioral (job competence and aspiration) and health (psychosomatic Symptoms and work ability) components. The structure of well‐being turned out to be two‐dimensional, consisting of affect‐health and behavior dimensions. The level of well‐being among aging teachers was quite high, although 36% of the teachers had Problems of well‐being related to both ajfect‐health and behavior. However, according to the work ability index, only 4% of the 45‐49‐year‐old and 12% o…

Employability and Disability: New Challenges towards Equal Opportunities

2014

Abstract It is a fact that once passed the stage of compulsory education, the transition of a disabled child towards adult life and the world of employment is an increasing source of worry for parents. It is a process that terrifies parents and guidance is required as much for parents as for pupils to access useful employment or worthwhile activities and the adult world, besides personal autonomy and independence. This communication analyzes the different educational and occupational alternatives for disabled pupils. The employment of this group is recognized as key to enabling the disabled to participate fully in society and to achieve personal independence. It can also be the axis of an o…

The Low Dimensionality of Development

2020

AbstractThe World Bank routinely publishes over 1500 “World Development Indicators” to track the socioeconomic development at the country level. A range of indices has been proposed to interpret this information. For instance, the “Human Development Index” was designed to specifically capture development in terms of life expectancy, education, and standard of living. However, the general question which independent dimensions are essential to capture all aspects of development still remains open. Using a nonlinear dimensionality reduction approach we aim to extract the core dimensions of development in a highly efficient way. We find that more than 90% of variance in the WDIs can be represen…

Trying to control migration between zones in the world

2019

It is a fact that migration is a worrying problem in some world areas. Literature shows many studies about it. Nevertheless, no sound solutions have been proposed. Assuming that the key implied factors are development and demography, we suggest in this research, as a first step, to state a stochastic and dynamic demographic model neither considering sexes nor ages, but including the necessary and adequate economic, education and health variables. This model will be able to optimize, by means of a genetic algorithm, the amount and proportion of the main development indicators in different areas of the world along time, in order to reach the desired values of the population present in each ar…

Effects of air pollution on dementia over Europe for present and future climate change scenarios.

2020

The scientific literature is scarce when referring to the influence of atmospheric pollutants on neurodegenerative diseases for present and future climate change scenarios. In this sense, this contribution evaluates the incidence of dementia (Alzheimer's disease, AD, and dementia from unspecified cause, DU) occurring in Europe associated with the exposure to air pollution (essentially NO2 and PM2.5) for the present climatic period (1991-2010) and for a future climate change scenario (RCP8.5, 2031-2050). The GEMM methodology has been applied to air pollution simulations using the chemistry/climate regional model WRF-Chem. Present population data were obtained from NASA's Center for Socioecon…

Atlas construction and image analysis using statistical cardiac models

2010

International audience; This paper presents a brief overview of current trends in the construction of population and multi-modal heart atlases in our group and their application to atlas-based cardiac image analysis. The technical challenges around the construction of these atlases are organized around two main axes: groupwise image registration of anatomical, motion and fiber images and construction of statistical shape models. Application-wise, this paper focuses on the extraction of atlas-based biomarkers for the detection of local shape or motion abnormalities, addressing several cardiac applications where the extracted information is used to study and grade different pathologies. The p…
