METHOD FOR THE PREPARATION AND THE USE OF BIOCIDES ENRICHED IN ACTIVE RADICALS BEFORE USAGE
No full textThe present description relates to a method for preparing a biocide enriched in oxygen-centred free radicals through UV
radiation, a biocide enriched in oxygen- centred free radicals thus obtained, a method for sterilizing waters, a method for
controlling the colonisation of micro-organisms in treated waters, as well as a method for controlling and/or for controlling
and preventing the colonisation on the surfaces of submerged structures by aquatic filtering organisms that use said biocide
enriched in oxygen-centred free radicals and plants suitable for implementing said methods
La morfologia del versante in funzione dei processi morfogenetici in aree calanchive: l’esempio della Sicilia settentrionale
No full textSmall catchments evolution on clayey hilly landscapes in Central Apennines and northern Sicily (Italy) since the Late Pleistocene
No full textThe study aims to define a possible evolutionary geomorphological model of small catchments (i.e., <40 km2) that characterise the clayey hilly landscape of Central Apennines and Northern Sicily piedmont for the late Pleistocene–Holocene (i.e., the last 20,000 years, from the last glacial stage to the Holocene climate amelioration). The study is based on an integrated approach incorporating (i) geomorphological surveys and mapping, (ii) dating of Quaternary continental deposits, and (iii) topographical and morphometrical processing. It combines the data collected from previous published investigations as well as new data, specifically related to the availability of geo-chronological markers, and helps outline a common evolutionary model. The selected small catchments are tributaries of major rivers in inland areas (small catchments of the inland hills of Tuscany, Marche, and Sicily) or flow directly to the coast (coastal small catchments in Abruzzo). For each area, the geomorphological features (clay dominated bedrock, erosional landforms and fluvial terraces, and erosional/depositional strath terraces) and the dating of Quaternary deposits (from <50kyr to 15kyr) were compared, reconstructing the morphometry of the probable late Pleistocene landscape configuration. The analysis of the results showed that, although currently characterised by different climatic and geo-structural conditions, the different basins underwent a common geomorphological evolution mostly since the late Pleistocene. During the last glacial stage, under cold climate rhexistasy conditions, the small catchments were dominated by low gradient erosional surfaces with the deposition of fluvial, colluvial, or slope deposits, resulting in the formation of uniform slopes and wide minor valleys. The Holocene climate warming, together with marine transgression and tectonic uplift, induced the incision and dissection of the erosional surfaces and the continental deposits via gravitational movements and rapid erosion processes up until the present-day landscape configuration. The control factors of this evolution are most likely linked to the climate changes at the beginning of the Holocene and the interplay with the changes in the local base level of the small catchments since the late Pleistocene, combining late Quaternary tectonic uplift, sea-level rise, and river/coastal incision

Index of Caring Complexity as a management tool in a surgical setting: an observational study
No full textAmong different methods of nursing classification, the Index of Caring Complexity (ICC) is a management tool to evaluate appropriateness of nursing procedures, integrate health-care support workers and to monitor the need of nursing staff. The objective of this observational study was to apply the ICC method in a surgical ward of the Marche Region (Italy), to determine the nursing staff level.
METHODS:
From 1 January to 30 April 2010, all data of patients admitted for more than 48 hours were collected. The determination of nursing staff level derived from the five patient classification on the basis of the complexity/gravity "scores" of data flow obtained during the caring process.
RESULTS:
The ICC method showed a staffing of 11 nurses: a staff shortage of three nurse, if compared to the actual staff. The ICC method also demonstrate its strength as a useful tool to reorganize care. The ICA showed that the most frequent nursing activities :"Apply postures to facilitate breathing "(83%),"Prepare/provide appropriate foods in temperature/texture/quantity "(100%); "Providing aids for elimination needs" (80.7%); "Help in dressing" (82.7%); "Transfer from stretcher to bed" (83.4%); "Remaking bed/unit sick" (100%); "Monitoring of vital signs" (100%); "Health Education" (100%); "Nursing Assessment" (100%); "Management and treatment of intravascular devices" (100%); "Performing instrumental exams".
CONCLUSIONS:
Assess the most frequent nursing activities, allows: to better distribute activities among professionals, identify nurses' competencies and activities to be prescribed to health-care support workers

No full textAssessment of Potential Landslide Scenarios Using Morphometry, Geomorphological Constraints, and Run-Out Analysis: A Case Study from Central Apennines (Italy)
No full textLandslides are among the most damaging natural hazards, posing significant threats to human lives and infrastructures, especially in mountainous regions such as the Central Apennines (Italy). This study focuses on the Mt. Marsicano catchment (2245 m a.s.l.), characterized by peculiar morphometric features and geomorphological constraints that highlight the possibility of potential landslide scenarios. The methodological approach led to the identification of potential landslide propagation patterns. The RAMMS::DEBRIS FLOW module was used to model two potential landslide scenarios: a debris flow-like movement with a volume of 2.03 × 104 m3 and a rock avalanche-like movement with a volume of 1.2 × 106 m3. Findings from the latter scenario suggested river obstruction and potential lake formation upstream. Triggering mechanisms were partially explored, linking the debris flow scenario to heavy rainfall events (>50 mm/day) and the rock avalanche scenario to earthquakes with Mw > 5.0. Despite the absence of occurred landslides for back-calculation analysis and modeling based on geomorphic evidence rather than calibrating to a specific local past event, the study provides preliminary clues about the combination between morphometric analysis and geomorphological constraints in hypothesizing potential landslide scenarios. It provides a foundation for anticipating future landslide impacts in mountainous areas with limited historical data, offering valuable geomorphological insights for preventive hazard assessment and mitigation strategies in similar environments
