No full textData of cost-optimal solutions and retrofit design methods for school renovation in a warm climate
No full textAbstract"Efficient Solutions and Cost-Optimal Analysis for Existing School Buildings" (Paolo Maria Congedo, Delia D’Agostino, Cristina Baglivo, Giuliano Tornese, Ilaria Zacà) [1] is the paper that refers to this article. It reports the data related to the establishment of several variants of energy efficient retrofit measures selected for two existing school buildings located in the Mediterranean area. In compliance with the cost-optimal analysis described in the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive and its guidelines (EU, Directive, EU 244,) [2,3], these data are useful for the integration of renewable energy sources and high performance technical systems for school renovation. The data of cost-efficient high performance solutions are provided in tables that are explained within the following sections.The data focus on the describe school refurbishment sector to which European policies and investments are directed. A methodological approach already used in previous studies about new buildings is followed (Baglivo Cristina, Congedo Paolo Maria, D׳Agostino Delia, Zacà Ilaria, 2015; IlariaZacà, Delia D’Agostino, Paolo Maria Congedo, Cristina Baglivo; Baglivo Cristina, Congedo Paolo Maria, D’Agostino Delia, Zacà Ilaria, 2015; Ilaria Zacà, Delia D’Agostino, Paolo Maria Congedo, Cristina Baglivo, 2015; Paolo Maria Congedo, Cristina Baglivo, IlariaZacà, Delia D’Agostino,2015) [4–8]. The files give the cost-optimal solutions for a kindergarten (REF1) and a nursery (REF2) school located in Sanarica and Squinzano (province of Lecce Southern Italy). The two reference buildings differ for construction period, materials and systems.The eleven tables provided contain data about the localization of the buildings, geometrical features and thermal properties of the envelope, as well as the energy efficiency measures related to walls, windows, heating, cooling, dhw and renewables. Output values of energy consumption, gas emission and costs are given for a financial and a macro-economic analysis.This data article provides 288 and 96 combinations for REF1 and REF2, respectively. The output values are obtained using the software ProCasaClima 2015v.2.0

Environmental policies and social impacts. Suggestions from Europeans cities
No full textAre we really sure that green and sustainable are always good for everyone? Ilaria Beretta tries to go beyond the rhetoric of sustainability to understand more deeply the interconnection between economy, society and environment in urban contexts, in the belief that only empirical research and the analysis of data can lead to a correct reading, which is as objective as possible, of the complex reality in which we live. The author, through a comparison between European and U.S. American cities, focuses in particular on policies related to climate change and land use, showing how these, if not properly monitored in their social effects, risk contributing to the tightening of social inequalities, through processes such as ecological and green gentrification. The volume is structured in three parts. In the first section, she illustrates the main European Union’s sustainability and environmental urban policies, focusing on climate change and land use strategies. The second chapter provides a conceptual framework through the environmental justice paradigm, as it applies in Europe and in U.S. Finally, the third chapter offers an empirical analysis of ecological and green gentrification processes, comparing American and European realities, and highlighting how context-specific differences can have profound effects on the manifestation (or not) of these phenomena

Werner Sombart and the global society. Anticipations from a classic author of sociology
No full textThe article examines the most salient works in which the sociologist Werner Sombart saw the dimension of globality as a social element, constitutive of mo- dernity and its future. The aim is to understand the role of globality, as an idea and a phenomenon, in the constitution in all aspects of society (economic, political, cultural, anthropological). The Works to which the article refers show a global society, one that goes from the time of Sombart to the present day, as the author had already envisioned in all their potentialities and criticalities
Specific Anti-Nuclear Antibodies, Clinical Features and Outcome Following Treatment with Nilotinib In Patients with Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease. The 44th Annual Meeting of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation: Physicians Poster Sessions
No full textBackground: Clinical manifestations of chronic graft versus-host diseases (cGVHD) often resemble systemic autoimmune diseases. The association with autoantibodies, including anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA), has been reported, but the clinical and prognostic relevance of this association
is still unclear. Tyrosine kinase inhibitor nilotinib is currently under investigation for the treatment of cGVHD; we sought to investigate the relationship between presence of ANA and outcome of cGVHD following administration of nilotinib.
Methods: Fifteen patients with severe cGVHD following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and nine transplanted patients without cGVHD (controls) were evaluated. Clinical data were collected by patients ́ files. A panel of 19 specific ANA was assessed by quantitative immunoblot assay (Alifax, Padova, Italy). Proportions of T cell subpopulations (including T helper, T cytotoxic and T regulatory), B lymphocytes, NK and NK/T cells were
assessed by flow cytometry (Bekton Dickinson, San Josè, CA). Data were compared by Student ́s t test; differences were considered statistically significant when p < 0.05.
Results: In patients who developed cGVHD, organs more commonly involved were skin (80%), eyes/mouth (Sicca Syndrome, 67%) and lungs (33%); ANA were detected in seven of these patients (47%, figure panel A). Most frequent specificity was anti-SSA/Ro (3 cases); other specificities were anti-SSB, anti-CENP A/B, anti-Nucleosome and anti-Pm-Scl (1 case each). Sicca Syndrome was the clinical manifestation more associated with the presence of ANA (7/10 cases, 70%), followed by skin disease (5/12 cases, 42%). Only one of the controls (11%) was tested ANA-positive (anti Histones/PCNA/DFS-70, figure panel A); of note, this patient suffered from isolated xerostomia. No difference in timing of cGVHD onset following HSCT was observed between ANA-positive and ANA-negative patients (267 vs. 280 days, p = 0.88). Compared to controls (figure panels BE), cGVHD patients had significantly higher proportions of T and NK/T cells (p < 0.05) and lower proportions of B (p=0.06) and NK cells (p < 0.05). CD4/CD8 ratio (not shown) as well as T regulatory cells (figure panel F) were comparable between the two groups; however, this latter subset showed a trend toward higher values among ANApositive compared to ANA-negative cGVHD patients (10,7±7.9% vs. 3.4±1.4%, p = 0.12). No difference in cGVHD progression nor in response to nilotinib was observed between ANA-positive and ANA-negative patients; after six months of treatment, eight (4 ANA-positive) remained stable and the other seven (3 ANA-positive) improved.
Conclusions: In agreement with published data, presence of ANA was frequent among patients who developed cGVHD and uncommon among transplanted patients without this condition. Most common cGVHD clinical features were skin disease and Sicca Syndrome; the latter was also the most frequent manifestation among ANA-positive cGVHD individuals. Although the frequency of B cells was not increased among patients developing cGVHD, these data suggest that B cells may play a pathogenic role in the onset of this condition and that presence of ANA may predict the development of particular clinical manifestations, such as Sicca Syndrome. Six-months course of nilotinib stabilized or improved cGVHD in all the study patients, independently of the presence of ANA. The evaluation of autoantibodies and immune population after nilotinib treatment is ongoing
