Anonymization Between Minimization and Erasure: The Perspectives of French and Italian Data Protection Authorities
Get PDFTwo years after the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) went into effect, data anonymization remains one of the main issues linked to fragmentation in the Member States’ anonymization policies, in which regard stakeholders would like additional guidelines.
In keeping with this premise, this article aims to analyze and compare trends in the implementation and enforcement of anonymization policies put in place by data protection authorities in two countries: France and Italy.
This analysis makes it possible to trace the evolution of these policies and highlight their critical importance in applying the data minimization principle and in enforcing the right to erasure under Art. 17 GDPR

Salvage of exposed breast implant using capsular flaps.
No full textExtrusion represents potential complications associated with the use of breast implants. Attempts to salvage the exposed implants are rarely successful when poor tissue coverage or radiotherpy is present and therefore removal of implant and wound healing are mandatory. In these refractory complicated cases the use of capsular flaps can represent a useful tool to save the implant and achieve definitive healing.Capsular flaps have been performed on 6 patients with implant extrusion and 11 patients with breast contour deformities over the last 6 years. The authors describe an innovative technique using capsular flaps which are harvested from thicker viable tissues and inset in multiple layers into the fistula tract to reinforce the breast envelope and prevent recurrence of implant extrusion.Complete healing and implant salvage were achieved in all patients treated. No major complications occurred and only minor contour deformities, that regressed spontaneously after surgery, were observed for 2 weeks.Although capsular flaps have been previously described to correct breast shape deformities, no previous report has yet suggested its utility in breast implant salvage in case of extrusion. The authors advocate the use of capsular flap to save the exposed breast implant especially when poor tissue coverage is present and other surgical options to save the implant have already failed

Get PDFSimple Summary This study explores the use of alternative and non-harmful methods for monitoring endangered Mediterranean trout in small intermittent streams. Specifically, two visual survey techniques were compared: a visual survey from streambanks and an underwater visual survey using underwater cameras. The main objective was to assess the effectiveness of detecting patterns in fish occupancy in relation to a set of environmental factors. The comparison revealed that underwater camera surveys performed similarity to visual surveys from streambanks during low-flow regimes. However, visual surveys from streambanks were less effective during the highest flow regimes. The volume of pools and the percentage cover of submerged macrophytes were found to be significant environmental variables affecting fish detection probability using underwater cameras. On the other hand, the analysis of data from visual observations from streambanks indicated a clear impact of high turbulence rates on pool occupancy. In conclusion, these findings demonstrate the utility of visual methods in describing the occupancy patterns of Mediterranean trout in small streams. Monitoring the conservation status of endangered freshwater fish using less invasive methods poses challenges for ecologists and conservationists. Visual surveys have been proposed as an alternative to electrofishing, which is a standard methodology that can cause injuries, physiological stress and post-release mortality in organisms. To test the efficacy of visual methods, a study was conducted in an intermittent stream of Sardinia (Italy). Two visual methods were employed: a visual survey from streambanks (VSS) and an underwater visual survey (UVS) using cameras. The aims of this study were (1) to compare the effectiveness of these methods in detecting patch occupancy patterns and (2) to investigate the effect of environmental variables on the detection probability of Mediterranean native trout. Environmental variables characterizing pool habitats were recorded, and generalized linear models (GLMs) were employed to assess the correlation between these variables and trout presence/absence. GLM analysis revealed that UVS had higher detection probability with larger pool volume, whereas submerged macrophytes negatively affected detection probability. Detection from streambanks (VVS) was negatively affected by a high turbulence rate. In conclusion, our study suggests the utility of visual methods to describe patterns of patch occupancy of Mediterranean trout. However, methods can be differently affected by environmental variables. Therefore, monitoring programs using these methods should consider these factors to ensure a reliable description of within-stream trout distribution in intermittent streams
Hard times for catadromous fish: the case of the European eel (Anguilla anguilla, L. 1758)
Get PDFCatadromous fish species can be defined important organisms for their ecological, economical, and cultural value. Because of
a complex life cycle, catadromous fish species are exhibited to the cumulative effect of multiple anthropogenic threats that resulted
in worldwide decline since the beginning of the 20th century. Among the most iconic catadromous species, the European eel
Anguilla anguilla has aroused considerable interest, and to date, many aspects of its life cycle remain relatively unknown. Although
conspicuous efforts by the research to ensure the perpetuation of the species were conducted, the identification of the best tools to
reduce the threats that affect eels remains challenging. In this narrative review, the state of the knowledge and main threats about
the life cycle, the habitat occupancy, the recruitment, and migration patterns of the European eel have been reported
