Indoor Air Quality in Healing Environments: Impacts of Physical, Chemical, and Biological Environmental Factors on Users
No full textStarting from the definition of confined spaces, the paper examines the indoor air quality in healing
environments that must be promoters of health and well-being for all the users. In fact, as several authors
stated, the main factors of air pollution are bacteria, substances used for therapeutic and diagnostic
purposes, odors generated by cleaning and maintenance products, disinfectants, heating systems,
ventilation and air-conditioning, building materials, furniture and finishing, as well as the outdoor
environment. Moreover, hospitals incorporate a variety of risks that can be divided into physical risks that
determinate alteration of well-being or thermal discomfort of users, caused by inadequate microclimatic
parameters; chemical risks caused by the contaminations of toxic, harmful, or carcinogenic substances; and
biological risks caused by contamination of qualitatively and/or quantitatively inadequate microorganisms.
According to the different risks that may occur in a healthcare facility, the paper examines also the role of
management and risk assessment on these issues, analyzing the people involved and responsibilities that
hospital managers must fulfill to ensure health quality and safety

TECNOLOGIE SOSTENIBILI PER L’IGIENE EDILIZIA
No full textNegli ultimi cinquanta anni, l’impatto delle attività umane sul mondo naturale ha determinato profondi sconvolgimenti, causando in alcuni casi vere e proprie emergenze ambientali (riscaldamento globale, buco dell’ozono, effetto serra, desertificazione, perdita di biodiversità, ecc.). L’entità degli impatti antropici sull’ambiente sta infatti assumendo, con crescente evidenza, dimensioni tali da rendere necessaria e urgente la definizione non solo di strategie sostenibili, ma anche di strumenti per la verifica della stessa. In tale contesto, l’attività edilizia è uno dei settori a più alto impatto ambientale ed è caratterizzata da un trend in continua crescita ovunque.
La produzione mondiale di beni e servizi degli ultimi decenni è infatti notevolmente aumentata e questo aumento, in relazione al cambiamento degli stili di vita, ha determinato un incremento dell’aspettativa di vita, ma ha anche portato un notevole sfruttamento delle risorse naturali, rinnovabili e non, e numerosi impatti negativi con ricadute dirette e indirette sulla salute umana. In tale contesto, il settore delle costruzioni può essere considerato responsabile di:
• consumi di risorse naturali rinnovabili e non (suolo, acqua, materie prime, ecc.);
• produzione di rifiuti solidi e liquidi;
• impermeabilizzazione del suolo;
• consumi energetici;
• emissioni in atmosfera
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Applications of IAQ Monitoring in International Healthcare Systems
No full textThe attention to indoor air quality (IAQ) is required especially in all the contexts which host a large
number of users, especially healthcare facilities in which there are several vulnerable users. IAQ is affected
by several factors related to the occupants, their activities, building layout and its materials, ventilation and
thermal parameters, maintenance, and cleaning activities. Currently, the attention in IAQ issue is not only
faced by developed countries, but also from developing countries. There are several international working
groups that are realizing monitoring campaigns. The paper presents a brief analysis of IAQ monitoring on
some international hospitals. The selection is focused especially on chemical indoor air pollutants, but it
lists also some experiences on air biological contamination. The intent is to examine the methodologies
applied and the main results that the monitoring campaigns have reported
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
