Characterizing antibiotics in LCA-a review of current practices and proposed novel approaches for including resistance

2021

Abstract Purpose With antibiotic resistance (ABR) portrayed as an increasing burden to human health, this study reviews how and to what extent toxicological impacts from antibiotic use are included in LCAs and supplement this with two novel approaches to include ABR, a consequence of antibiotic use, into the LCA framework. Methods We review available LCA studies that deal with toxicological aspects of antibiotics to evaluate how these impacts from antibiotics have been characterized. Then, we present two novel approaches for including ABR-related impacts in life cycle impact assessments (LCIAs). The first approach characterizes the potential for ABR enrichment in the environmental compartme…

Promoting Food Waste Reduction at Primary Schools. A Case Study

2021

Food waste (FW) has recently attracted the interest of different institutions and has been the focus of many studies due to its important environmental, social and economic impact. This paper aims to analyze whether a didactic intervention, consisting of informing teachers and pupils and involving pupils in reducing FW, could bring about changes in the level of knowledge and attitude towards FW and in the amount of FW generated during the mid-morning break and lunch at schools. This study was conducted at a public Primary School in Valencia (Spain). Subtle changes in the level of knowledge and attitude towards FW were detected in teachers and pupils after the intervention. Around 30% of FW …

Aproximación al "impacto" de las revistas biomédicas en Pediatría: estudio de los indicadores bibliométricos en Journal Citation Reports-Science Cita…

2011

Introducción: el factor de impacto (FI) es el indicador bibliométrico más conocido. El objetivo de nuestro estudio es realizar un análisis cienciométrico de las revistas pediátricas en Journal Citation Reports-Science Citation Index (JCR-SCI) del año 2009. Material y métodos: estudio de las 63 categorías de Biomedicina y Ciencias de la Salud en JCR-SCI del año 2009, por medio de la Web of Knowledge. Indicadores bibliométricos: revistas, artículos, citas, FI, índice de inmediatez, vida media y revistas con mayor FI en cada categoría. Análisis pormenorizado de las revistas pediátricas en la categoría Pediatrics y situación de las revistas pediátricas en español en JCR-SCI 2009. Resultados: se…

Impact of inoculation with the phytostimulatory PGPR Azospirillum lipoferum CRT1 on the genetic structure of the rhizobacterial community of field-gr…

2009

International audience; The phytostimulatory PGPR Azospirillum lipoferum CRT1 was inoculated to maize seeds and the impact on the genetic structure of the rhizobacterial community in the field was determined during maize growth by Automated Ribosomal Intergenic Spacer Analysis (ARISA) of rhizosphere DNA extracts. ARISA fingerprints could differ from one plant to the next as well as from one sampling to the next. Inoculation with strain CRT1 enhanced plant-to-plant variability of the ARISA fingerprints and caused a statistically significant shift in the composition of the indigenous rhizobacterial community at the first two samplings. This is the first study on the ecological impact of Azosp…

An Approach for the Evaluation of Risk Impact of Changes Addressing Uncertainties in a Surveillance Requirement Optimization Context

2014

This paper presents an approach for the evaluation of risk impact of Surveillance Requirement changes addressing identification, treatment and analysis of uncertainties in an integrated manner, which is intended to be used in an optimization context. It is also presented an example of application of the methodology to study a SF change of the Reactor Protection System of a Nuclear Power Plant.

2SPD-025 Application of hazard vulnerability analysis to evaluate the risk level of medicine shortages

2020

Background and importance Drug shortages have become a worldwide phenomenon which has repercussions on patient care and on the hospital’s budget. Aim and objectives The aim of our study was to assess the risk of shortages of drugs included in our hospital therapeutic formulary (HTF), for which there is shortage reporting, using a hazard vulnerability analysis (HVA). Material and methods We performed an HVA on 43 drugs in our HTF, which were also included in the Italian Medicines Agency list of shortages. The HVA used to assign the risk of shortage (ROS) included three macro areas: probability that the shortages will occur based on shortages in the past 2 years; magnitude factors which incre…
