    La qualificazione della produzione floricola campana, condizione necessaria per la competizione nel mercato globale.

    Il florovivaismo, voce importante nell'economia agricola italiana, sta vivendo in questi anni una situazione difficile per la concorrenza. Le difficoltà si acuiscono in Campania, regione pur dotata di grandi potenzialità, ma caratterizzata da evidenti carenze organizzative, che la rendono ancor meno competitiva in un mercato globale. Di qui la necessità di una qualificazione del settore, che investa non solo gli aspetti produttivi, ma anche aspetti relativi alla commercializzazione, distribuzione e fornitura di servizi legati al prodotto

    Umiliati e obesi

    L’autore analizza come l’obesità, oggi al centro di un allarme planetario lanciato da agenzie internazionali come OMS e FAO, metta in gioco la categoria stessa di grasso e sovrappeso, nonché di corpo ideale. Attraverso una genealogia storico-antropologica del lessico e del campo semantico riferiti all’obesità, Niola mostra come si stia progressivamente sviluppando e rafforzando una sorta di obesofobia collettiva, che tende a sottovalutare le ragioni economico-sociali che sono alla base della malnutrizione per eccesso e dell’aumento dell’obesità in Occidente. Trasformando il sovrappeso in una colpa individuale, nell’esito di una intemperanza bulimica che viene sempre più spesso stigmatizzata eticamente e sanzionata pecuniariamente. Con il risultato che il sovrappeso sta diventando uno stigma etnico-sociale e il disprezzo degli obesi una nuova frontiera del razzismo contemporaneo.Obesity is at the center of planetary attention warned by international agencies such as OMS and FAO. The author analyzes how it compromises the categories of fat and overweight subjects, as well as the ideal body. Thanks to the historical-anthropological genealogy of the lexicon and the semantic field referring to obesity, Niola shows how a collective obesophobia is progressively developing and strengthening. This is going to underestimate the socio-economic reasons that cause excessive malnutrition and increase in obesity in the West. It transforms the fact of being overweight into guilt. “Being overweight” is looked as the result of a bulimic intemperance that is always more stigmatized by ethics and sanctioned by finance. The result is that to be overweight is becoming a socio-ethnic stigma and the contempt for the obese is becoming a new frontier of the contemporary racism

    Experimental analysis of the behaviour of the droplets of high viscous fluids impacting on a flat heated surface

    A lot of study speak about the behavior of water droplets, fuel droplets with particular references to burning and combustion processes, agricultural applications, heat transfer from heat surfaces. In this paper the behavior of droplets of high viscous fluid is analyzed to approach a new field of the application of the spray technology. In the last years, the development reached by propellers in terms of improvement of service and efficiency showed the problem of lubrication systems. A kinematics couples reaching high friction conditions, call for new solutions which allow the improvement of lubrication process[5], increasing transmission efficiency and lifetime of transmission. The aim of the present study is to develop a new system of lubrication where one or more injectors atomize lubricant previously filtered and send it in little drops on the surface of the transmission elements

    Purpose: This paper focuses on the role of interventional radiology embolisations in a series of patients presenting with iatrogenic vascular injuries of the lower limbs following orthopaedic interventions. Material and methods: Fourteen patients (mean age: 64 years, range 23-90 years) were retrospectively analysed. Clinical presentation consisted of palpable pulsatile mass, pain, reduced lower limb motion, or visible haematoma; 11 patients had also anaemia (haemoglobin < 7 g/dl). Results: The time between orthopaedic surgery and embolisation ranged between 0 and 67 days (mean: 15 days). Injured arterial vessels were as follows: inferior gluteal artery (2), superficial external pudendal artery (2), deep femoral artery (1), lateral circumflex femoral artery (3), medial circumflex femoral artery (2), articular branch of descending genicular artery (1), perforating femoral arteries (3), posterior tibial recurrent artery (1), and anterior tibial artery (1). The typologies of vascular lesion were: pseudoaneurysm 57%, bleeding with extraluminal contrast agent blush of the terminal arterial segment 36%, and laceration and bleeding with extraluminal contrast agent blush of the arterial main trunk 7%. Embolising agents adopted were microcoils 57%, glue 14%, microplug 7%, particles 14%, and covered stent 7%. In all cases clinical and procedural technical successes were obtained (100%). Conclusions: For the management of vascular injuries occurring after different orthopaedic interventions of the lower limbs, endovascular embolisations have proven to be safe and effective; orthopaedic surgeons should be aware of the support that interventional radiology could provide in the case of iatrogenic vascular complications
