L’intervento psicologico-clinico in ospedale, con il bambino affetto da una malattia organica: teoria, tecnica e prassi
No full textIl lavoro affronta alcune questioni metodologiche e concettuali del lavoro dello psicologo clinico nell'ospedale con i bambini che soffrono di malattie organiche. Vengono discussi due casi clinici di bambini affetti da patologie cardiologiche e oncologiche, per esemplificare le considerazioni teorico-tecniche avanzate nella prima parte

No full textEffect of cytostatic drugs on the sludge and on the mixed liquor characteristics of a cross-flow membrane bioreactor: Consequence on the process
No full textThe influence of cyclophosphamide and its principal metabolites (CPs) on the physicochemical properties of the mixed liquor of a cross-flow membrane bioreactor and the consequences for membrane fouling were investigated. The influence of CPs was determined by comparing the performance of two bioreactors running in parallel, MBR-CPs (with CPs) and MBR-control (without CPs). The physicochemical properties of the mixed liquor were characterized by soluble extracellular polymeric substances (soluble EPS content), particle size distribution and specific cake resistance. Results suggested that the CP toxicity altered the characteristics of the biological matrix of the activated sludge. Micro-organisms exposed to CPs showed higher endogenous respiration rates than MBR-control micro-organisms. The accumulation of soluble EPS and the formation of small particles (in MBR-CPs after cross-flow velocity was raised) increased the resistance to filtration. The fouling potential of the supernatant seemed to be linked more closely to the concentration of polysaccharides than of proteins and humic substances. Modifications of the membrane performance were observed. Under operating conditions, membrane fouling was faster in MBR-CPs than MBR-control. Moreover, the membrane played an important role in the permeate quality and the overall performance of the process, making possible the biological treatment of such an effluen

Rheological characterization of mixed liquor in a submerged membrane bioreactor: Interest for process management
No full textRheological analyses of a submerged membrane bioreactor mixed liquor were performed in the aim of characterizing the mixed liquor present in the bioreactor and thus proposing a process management. These analyses pointed out that the mixed liquor was characterized by its viscoplastic property, which leads to a possible restructuring ability when a shear stress lower than the yield stress is applied. As the shear stress in the bioreactor is essentially generated by coarse bubbles, specific experiments were carried out in which coarse bubbles were injected in an intermittent way. The results of these experiments showed that this method could avoid damage to the mixed liquor. So working with intermittent coarse bubbles is useful to prevent fouling, keep good flocculation and minimize the energy cost
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Apple mycotoxins: From orchard to processed apple puree
No full textApples and apple-derived products can be contaminated with patulin and, to a lesser extent, aflatoxin B1 and fumonisins. Fruits were collected from Golden Delicious and Imperatore trees in three orchards in Veneto, Northern Italy, and analysed for the presence of fungi and mycotoxins. Sampling and analyses were also carried out from storage bins to final puree tanks along the apple-puree production chain. Alternaria spp. and Penicillium spp. were commonly isolated from apples collected in the field, but their presence varied with cultivar and orchard location. In contrast, Aspergillus section Flavi spp. and Fusarium spp. were only detected via direct isolation from chopped fruits. Patulin and Alternaria toxins were frequently identified in fresh fruits, while aflatoxins were also present in some fruits albeit at very low levels. Fungi were present in fruits entering the apple-puree production line, but not in apple puree after treatment at 95–105 °C. In contrast, the abovementioned mycotoxins were detected at all stages along the production line. Surprisingly, fumonisins were only detected after the apple puree was subjected to thermal treatment. Implications of these findings were discussed and few unresolved scientific questions were posed to stimulate further lines of study
