Fluxes and fate of particulate mercury in a contaminated coastal environment (Gulf of Trieste, northern Adriatic Sea)
No full textAs the result of historical mining activity in Idrija (western Slovenia), mercury (Hg) contamination in the Gulf of Trieste (northern Adriatic Sea) still represents an environmental issue of great concern for the local authorities. The element has been conveyed into the marine-coastal area by the Isonzo/Soča River freshwater inputs for centuries, mainly in association with the suspended particulate matter (SPM) during periods of medium-high discharge often corresponding to river plume events.
The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of Hg bound to SPM (particulate Hg, PHg) in the coastal water twentyfive years after the mine closure and to assess sedimentary Hg fluxes in the northernmost sector of the Gulf, a shallow and sheltered embayment where the accumulation of fine sediments is promoted Sediment traps were placed both at the surface and at bottom water layers at four different sites and settling particles accumulated into each trap were collected approximately every 15 days during 6 sampling campaigns.
In terms of grain size composition, the SPM consisted predominantly of silt (77.7 ± 10.1 %) and differences were observed among sites, water layers and sampling campaigns Concentrations of PHg were consistent with previous studies focused on the sediment compartment and ranged overall between 0.61 and 6.87 μg g-1 showing slightly higher values at the bottom (1.50 ± 0.52 and 2.31 ± 1.58 μg g-1 in surface and bottom water layers, respectively) most likely due to resuspension of fine particles enriched in Hg from bottom sediments.
The estimated daily Hg fluxes associated with settling particles showed a notable variability, up to an order of magnitude, both in the surface water layer (3.07 – 94.6 μg m-2 d-1) and at the bottom (11.3 – 245 μg m-2 d-1) Moreover, a significant correlation (r = 0.762) was observed between Hg and SPM daily fluxes thus confirming that, still nowadays, periods of high PHg concentrations in the water column as well as of Hg sedimentary fluxes at the sea bottom roughly corresponds to higher SPM inputs from the Isonzo River

No full textNivolumab in Combination with Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy in Pretreated Patients with Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma. Results of the Phase II NIVES Study
No full textBackground: Nivolumab showed an overall survival (OS) benefit in pretreated metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). The role of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in mRCC remains to be defined. Objective: Our aim was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SBRT in combination with nivolumab in second- and third-line mRCC patients. Design, setting, and participants: The NIVES study was a phase II, single-arm, multicenter trial in patients with mRCC with measurable metastatic sites who progressed after antiangiogenic therapy, of whom at least one was suitable for SBRT. Intervention: The patients received SBRT to a lesion at a dose of 10 Gy in three fractions for 7 d from the first infusion of nivolumab. Nivolumab was given at an initial dose of 240 mg every 14 d for 6 mo and then 480 mg q4-weekly in responding patients. Outcome measurements and statistical analysis: We hypothesized that nivolumab plus SBRT improves the objective response rate (ORR) compared with nivolumab alone from 25% (derived from historical controls) to 40%. Secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), OS, disease control rate (DCR) of irradiated and nonirradiated metastases, and safety. Results and limitations: Sixty-nine patients were enrolled from July 2017 to March 2019. The ORR was 17% and the DCR was 55%. The median PFS was 5.6 mo (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.9–7.1) and median OS 20 mo (95% CI, 17–not reached). After 1.5 yr of follow-up, 23 patients died. The median time to treatment response was 2.8 mo and median duration of response was 14 mo. No new safety concerns arose. Conclusions: We did not find sufficient evidence to suggest that nivolumab in combination with SBRT provides an added benefit in pretreated mRCC patients; it should however be evaluated in patients with oligometastatic or oligoprogressive disease. Patient summary: Nivolumab in combination with stereotactic body radiotherapy does not provide evidence of increased outcomes in metastatic renal cell carcinoma patients. However this approach was safe and showed a good response of the irradiated lesions
Temporal analysis of d13C CO2 and CO2 efflux in soil gas emissions at Mt. Etna: a new tool for volcano monitoring
No full textWe monitored the soil gas emission of CO2 from selected sites of Mt. Etna volcano during the period February 2009 to December 2010 by measuring periodically the soil CO2 efflux together with the associated stable carbon isotope composition of CO2 from February 2009 to December 2010. Correlation between the two parameters showed distinct behaviors depending on the sites as a reflection of the different interactions between crustal and sub-crustal fluids. Where deep CO2 interacted with shallow cold ground water and/or with shallow biogenic CO2, a positive correlation between soil CO2 effluxes and carbon isotopes was evident and it depended strongly on the velocity of gas through the soil. In these cases, the highest CO2 effluxes corresponded to d13CCO2 values similar to those of the deep magmatic CO2 emitted from the crater and peri-crateric gas emissions at the summit. In areas where a shallow hydrothermal system was presumed, then a similar correlation was less evident or even absent, suggesting strong control on C isotopes arising from the interactions between CO2 gas and dissolved HCO3- that occur in aquifers at T>120 °C. Marked temporal variations were observed in both parameters at all sites. No significant effect of meteorological parameters was found, so the observed changes were reasonably attributed to variations in volcanic activity of Mt. Etna. In particular, the variations were attributed to increased degassing of CO2 from incoming new magma, possibly coupled with increased hydrothermal activity in at least some of the shallow aquifers of the volcano. The largest anomalies in the monitored parameters preceded the opening of the New Southeast crater in late 2009 and therefore they could represent a key to unveiling the dynamics of the volcano
Trabalho e cooperação: um estudo de caso da Unipol - Cooperativa oriunda de massa falida
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia de Produção, Florianópolis, 2010O cooperativismo tem sido uma das temáticas centrais dos movimentos sociais nestes últimos dois séculos. Tal categoria é resultante da luta pela humanização das relações trabalhistas e sugere um paradigma alternativo a divisão social do trabalho em que se separam "os que devem pensar e os que devem fazer." (Marx). O objetivo desta pesquisa de doutoramento denominada Trabalho e Cooperação - UM ESTUDO DE CASO DA UNIPOL - Cooperativa oriunda de massa falida, é analisar como se estruturou a implantação de uma cooperativa oriunda de massa falida tendo como cenário sócio-político uma economia capitalista globalizada. O estudo se estruturou em pressupostos teórico-metodológicos da pesquisa qualitativa nas teias do materialismo histórico, configurando-se com o estudo de caso. A estratégia utilizada para atender às complexidades presentes na tese possibilitou um olhar diferenciado, atento aos detalhes, às contradições humanas, às subjetividades especialmente inspiradas nos significados das transformações possíveis e utópicas nas relações do processo de trabalho e cooperação
