Environment, wealth, inequality and the burden of disease in the Accra metropolitan area, Ghana
2005
The study examines environmental problems and adverse impacts on the health of urban households in the Accra metropolitan area, Ghana. Accra is faced with severe inadequacy of urban infrastructure in the face of rapid population growth in the metropolis. More than half of the city's population do not have access to solid waste collection services. Only 39.8% of households have indoor pipe and over 35.0% of households depend on unsanitary public latrines whilst 2.5% do not have access to toilet facilities. Human excrement, garbage and wastewater are usually deposited in surface drains, open spaces and streams in poor neighbourhoods. The resultant poor sanitation has serious health impacts as…
Motivazione e Burnout
2004
Working activities are subjected to different relationship and motivational dynamics which may cause stress and behavioural disorders. Burnout syndrome was indicated as strictly related to motivation and satisfaction in socio sanitary activities.
LA QUALITA' RELAZIONALE IN UNA RESIDENZA SANITARIA ASSISTENZIALE: IL PUNTO DI VISTA DEI CAREGIVER

La vaccinazione antinfluenzale come Strumento di Sanità pubblica e di prevenzione. Esperienza dell'Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria Policlinico (AOU…
2009
Introduzione Le Linee guida per la prevenzione e controllo dell'influenza, emanano Ogni anno dal Ministero della Salute, raccomandano la vaccinazione per tutti Coloro Che svolgono Funzioni lavorative di primario interesse collettivo. Il personale sanitario rappresenta, un tal Riguardo, un obiettivo strategico della campagna da vaccino antinfluenzale SIA per la possibile trasmissione dell'influenza aviaria Pazienti SIA Perchè l'eventuale assenteismo Potrebbe inficiare la qualità e la Capacità dell'Assistenza erogata. La trasmissione dell'influenza ad un Paziente è sicuramente un importante Rischio nosocomiale in Quanto l'Infezione virale PUÒ portare ad un aggravamento dello stato di salute d…
Uncertainty in environmental and hydrological mathematical modelling
2012
The current state of knowledge regarding uncertainties in urban drainage models is poor. This is in part due to the lack of clarity in the way model uncertainty analyses are conducted and how the results are presented and used. There is a need for a common terminology and a conceptual framework for describing and estimating uncertainties in urban drainage models. Practical tools for the assessment of model uncertainties for a range of urban drainage models are also required to be developed. This paper, produced by the International Working Group on Data and Models, which works under the IWA/IAHR Joint Committee on Urban Drainage, is a contribution to the development of a harmonised framewor…
The Porto European Cancer Research Summit 2021.
2021
Key stakeholders from the cancer research continuum met in May 2021 at the European Cancer Research Summit in Porto to discuss priorities and specific action points required for the successful implementation of the European Cancer Mission and Europe's Beating Cancer Plan (EBCP). Speakers presented a unified view about the need to establish high‐quality, networked infrastructures to decrease cancer incidence, increase the cure rate, improve patient's survival and quality of life, and deal with research and care inequalities across the European Union (EU). These infrastructures, featuring Comprehensive Cancer Centres (CCCs) as key components, will integrate care, prevention and research acros…
Long Term Efficiency Analysis of Infiltration Trenches Subjected to Clogging
2018
Abstract: In recent years, limitations linked to traditional urban drainage schemes have been pointed out and new approaches were developed introducing more natural methods for retaining and/or disposing of stormwater. Such practices include infiltration and storage tanks in order to reduce the peak flow and retain part of the polluting components. The impact of such practices on stormwater quantity and quality is not easily assessable because of the complexity of physical and chemical processes involved. In such cases, integrated urban drainage models may play a relevant role providing tools for long term analysis. In this study, the effect of the clogging phenomenon has been assessed by m…
Urban water quality modelling: a parsimonious holistic approach for a complex real case study
2010
In the past three decades, scientific research has focused on the preservation of water resources, and in particular, on the polluting impact of urban areas on natural water bodies. One approach to this research has involved the development of tools to describe the phenomena that take place on the urban catchment during both wet and dry periods. Research has demonstrated the importance of the integrated analysis of all the transformation phases that characterise the delivery and treatment of urban water pollutants from source to outfall. With this aim, numerous integrated urban drainage models have been developed to analyse the fate of pollution from urban catchments to the final receiving …
Aerobic granular sludge treating shipboard slop: Analysis of total petroleum hydrocarbons loading rates on performances and stability
2018
Abstract The work focuses on the feasibility of treating slop with aerobic granular sludge. For this purpose, a 3.5 L granular sequencing batch reactor was activated and it was monitored for 156 days. The experimental campaign was divided into two periods, named Period I (100 days) and Period II (56 days). Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) concentration in the slop was, on average, equal to 6.8 ± 1.5 mg L−1 and 13 ± 1.5 mg L−1 in Period I and Period II respectively. The obtained results during the first experimental period indicated that about 80 days were required to reach steady state with mature granules, when TPHs removal efficiency was approximately 90%. The results indicated that both…
