Climate change and NaTech events: A step towards local-scale awareness and preparedness
No full textThe present paper aims at verifying the awareness and preparedness of urban and local planners to cope with NaTech risk, together with the availability of dedicated tools. Since most of the natural events that can trigger technological hazards are influenced by climate change (i.e. flood, heavy rains, storms, etc.), NaTech risk is expected to be strongly increasing in the next years. However, dedicated NaTech planning actions and methods or tools to support them are still rarely available. The requirements of European Adaptation Strategy for Climate were examined considering the issues posed by the Seveso III Directive in terms of NaTech, focusing on the strategies adopted in the European countries, and in particular in Italy. Based on such analysis, a ‘NaTech tool’ dedicated to local planners was developed. Practical and easy to use methods and procedures were proposed in order to allow the use of the method by the local authorities, in the absence of sectorial experts
Factors affecting food waste: a bibliometric review on the household behaviors
No full textSustainability issues such as food insecurity, climate change, land degradation, economic
development and food waste are the actual most important challenges at the global level.
Among them, the food waste (FW) challenge has a great magnitude, emphasizing the
importance of examining this issue. Specifically, there is a need to focus on the household
level. Thus, this study aims to investigate and identify the main factors influencing FW
household behaviors on which policymakers and stakeholders could outline specific and
sustainable strategies. Starting from a large number of published studies on this subject
with a similar aim but focusing on specific Countries or contexts, the goal of our study is
achieved through the implementation of a systematic literature review followed by a bibliometric review using the VOSviewer software. The selected query generated a total of 235
matching papers from which only 111 papers were collected for the bibliometric review
because of the inclusion criteria. The analysis showed the existence of four major research
strands: the largest one analyses the antecedents of behavior during food management,
including the implementation of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Other detected topics are the economic impact of FW, the effects generated by the Covid-19 pandemic on consumer behaviors, and finally, the environmental and social effects of FW. The objective of
this study is to investigate and identify the main factors influencing FW household behaviors.
The obtained output represents useful information for policymakers and stakeholders to outline specific and sustainable strategies to reduce FW

RIASSUNTO
Introduzione. Scopo di questo studio è eseguire una revisione di 22 casi di frattura
del pilone tibiale di tipo C trattati con sintesi articolare percutanea e fissazione esterna
ibrida.
Metodo. È stata eseguita una revisione di 22 casi di fratture del pilone tibiale di tipo
C in 21 pazienti con età compresa tra 24-72 anni (media 41 anni). La frattura articolare
è stata ridotta a cielo chiuso e sintetizzata mediante 2 viti cannulate AO, successivamente
è stato applicato il fissatore esterno ibrido per stabilizzare la componente
metafisaria della frattura. Tutti i pazienti sono stati valutati ad una media di 5
anni (3-7) di distanza dall’intervento.
Risultati. In 20 casi si è ottenuta la guarigione della frattura dopo 16 settimane (12-
21). Si è verificato un caso di pseudoartrosi ed un caso di artrosi severa della caviglia.
Sei casi presentavano un risultato eccellente, 8 buono, 6 mediocre e 2 scarso.
Discussione e Conclusione. Questa tecnica permette di limitare il danno ai tessuti
molli, virtualmente non danneggia il periostio dei frammenti di frattura e permette di
ottenere una riduzione anatomica dell’articolazione. Noi pensiamo che questi fattori
siano determinanti al fine di ottenere ottimi risultati clinici a lungo termine
