Bacterial bioaerosol in the warehousing area of food industry facility
2014
Branża spożywcza zwraca coraz większą uwagę na etap magazynowania surowców i produktów gotowych. Mikrobiologiczne zanieczyszczenie surowca czy produktu gotowego w wyniku błędów przy magazynowaniu może generować straty ekonomiczne dla przedsiębiorstwa. Celem pracy była ocena stanu bioaerozolu bakteriologicznego magazynów w wybranym zakładzie przemysłu spożywczego. Materiał badawczy stanowiła mikroflora bakteryjna wyizolowana z powietrza w strefie magazynowej wybranego zakładu przemysłu spożywczego. Analizie zostały poddane cztery pomieszczenia: magazyny produktów (MPI, MPII), magazyn techniczny (MT) oraz magazyn opakowań jednostkowych (MPJ). Badania wykonano metodą sedymentacyjną Kocha w trz…

Efficacy of three drugs for protecting against gentamicin-induced hair cell and hearing losses
2012
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSEExposure to an ototoxic level of an aminoglycoside can result in hearing loss. In this we study investigated the otoprotective efficacy of dexamethasone (DXM), melatonin (MLT) and tacrolimus (TCR) in gentamicin (GM)-treated animals and cultures.EXPERIMENTAL APPROACHWistar rats were divided into controls (treated with saline); exposed to GM only (GM); and three GM-exposed groups treated with either DXM, MLT or TCR. Auditory function and cochlear surface preparations were studied. In vitro studies of oxidative stress, pro-inflammatory cytokine mRNA levels, the MAPK pathway and caspase-3 activation were performed in organ of Corti explants from 3-day-old rats.KEY RESULTSD…
Aerosol Health Effects from Molecular to Global Scales.
2017
Poor air quality is globally the largest environmental health risk. Epidemiological studies have uncovered clear relationships of gaseous pollutants and particulate matter (PM) with adverse health outcomes, including mortality by cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. Studies of health impacts by aerosols are highly multidisciplinary with a broad range of scales in space and time. We assess recent advances and future challenges regarding aerosol effects on health from molecular to global scales through epidemiological studies, field measurements, health-related properties of PM, and multiphase interactions of oxidants and PM upon respiratory deposition. Global modeling combined with epide…
Serological and molecular identification of Legionella spp. isolated from water and surrounding air samples in Italian healthcare facilities
2016
Abstract Background Legionella is an intracellular microorganism living in natural and artificial aquatic environments. Although its transmission to humans is linked to the inhalation of contaminated aerosols, there is no validated air sampling method for the control and prevention of the disease. The aim of the present study was to provide more information on the distribution of Legionella spp. in indoor environments and to determine whether the same Legionella strains are isolated from air and water samples. Methods Ten healthcare facilities located in seven regions of Italy were enrolled. The serological typing of Legionella spp. from water samples and the surrounding air by active and p…
Conservazione di legature erratiche dell'archivio storico diocesano di Palermo: monitoraggio ambientale e microbico

Propuesta de monitorización integral de la calidad ambiental del interior de la Iglesia de los Santos Juanes de Valencia
2020
Para la correcta conservación de los bienes de interés cultural (BIC), debe existir una óptima calidad ambiental interior. La monitorización de esta calidad ambiental, tradicionalmente, incluye el estudio de la humedad y la temperatura de los espacios interiores ya que es bien conocido que sus valores elevados y fluctuaciones rápidas pueden alterar los materiales constitutivos de las obras de arte. Sin embargo, hay muchos otros parámetros que se deben estudiar para tener una visión completa de los riesgos potenciales relacionados con ambientes patrimoniales. En este trabajo, planteamos la importancia de una monitorización integral sistemática de la calidad ambiental de un bien patrimonial q…
Neuroaesthetic exploration on the cognitive processing behind repeating graphics
2022
Repeating graphics are common research objects in modern design education. However, we do not exactly know the attentional processes underlying graphic artifacts consisting of repeating rhythms. In this experiment, the event-related potential, a neuroscientific measure, was used to study the neural correlates of repeating graphics within graded orderliness. We simulated the competitive identification process of people recognizing artifacts with graded repeating rhythms from a scattered natural environment with the oddball paradigm. In the earlier attentional processing related to the P2 component around the Fz electrode within the 150−250 ms range, a middle-grade repeating rhythm (Target 1)…
