Emergency planning in the industrial area of Milazzo: the revision of the External Emergency Plan for the Refinery
No full textThe aim of this work has been to revise the External Emergency Plan for the Refinery of Milazzo, located in northern Sicily near a small town of great tourist interest. The work has been performed as a collaboration between the University of Messina and the Prefecture of Messina.
The validity of External Emergency Plans (EEP) depends on the modifications inside the establishment and the territorial vulnerability (land-use and population), and it should include other components such as natural risks.
The importance of revising the EEP of the Refinery of Milazzo is due to the necessity to take into account recent modifications inside the establishment which have lowered the previous risk levels and to evaluate the Domino Effect as required by the Seveso II Directive
Scienza giuridica e concetto di diritto in 'Diritto e giustizia'
No full textIn questo saggio si ricostruiscono le relazioni che in 'Diritto e giustizia' Ross stabilisce, forse ancora non del tutto consapevolmente, fra la validità in senso stretto o sistematico delle norme di ciascun ordinamento, la loro esistenza empirica e sociale e, infine, la loro forza vincolante, per poi tentare di comprendere e rimettere in discussione le conclusioni cui perviene quando la sua attenzione si sposta dalla questione della ‘validità’ al concetto stesso di ‘diritto’ quale oggetto della scienza giuridica in quanto scienza sociale empirica

I will revisit some classic loci from Plato's and Aristotle's works in order to focus on the relationship between the Aristotelian-Thomistic intellectualism and the Hobbesian political theory. It will thus be possible to unveil connections that are still manifest in later grounding works of the canon, such as Rousseau's The Social Contract
Chagas disease, leishmaniasis, and malaria in solid organ transplant recipients
No full textSolid organ transplantation (SOT) is increasingly employed worldwide to treat several diseases causing both acute and chronic organ failure. Recipients of SOT are at an increased risk to develop infections as a consequence of immunosuppressive therapy. Sometimes such infections may be acquired by the transplanted organ or by reactivation of a previously acquired latent infection. The globalization and the increase of international travel poses a risk for exposure to infections such as Chagas disease (CD), leishmaniasis, and malaria endemic in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. We have reviewed the literature regarding risk factors, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of CD, leishmaniasis, and malaria in the setting of SOT
