The ratification of the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants is a departure point for several considerations on their presence in environmental matrices. In this paper, the Italian situation is presented with emphasis on the most toxic compounds--chemicals with dioxin-like toxic action, and the activity in the area of interest of the Istituto Superiore di Sanità. Biotic, as wel...

For the past several years we have been working with models of benzene distribution and metabolism, principally in the rat, but more recently in humans. Our biologically related objectives have been primarily to assist our laboratory-based colleagues in their quest for understanding of the mechanisms by which benzene exerts its toxic action. A secondary goal has been to develop or adapt models ...

the era of sadradin mosa safavi (1334-1389) coincided with disintegration of the ilkhanid dynasty and the start of the fatrat period one of the most important periods in which the safavid family tried to preserve and expand their properties and possessions resorting to popular actions like building sufis’ house and monastery. during this period not only sadrodin made conscious efforts to expa...

Addressing substance abuse in families is an important concern for the social work field. This article presents a preliminary view of a continuing care substance abuse recovery services program designed to assist the substance-affected family. The intervention approach is a blended model of substance abuse recovery work and family preservation. Services are directed at helping substance-abusing...

Abstract In loop quantum cosmology (LQC) the big bang singularity is generically resolved by a bounce. This feature holds even when modified quantization prescriptions of Hamiltonian constraint are used such as in mLQC-I and mLQC-II. While later describes an effective description qualitatively similar to that standard LQC, former asymmetric evolution with emergent Planckian de-Sitter pre-bounce...

ABSTRACT Objectives: to map advanced practice nursing actions implemented in the Family Health Strategy context. Methods: cross-sectional exploratory study carried out with nurses. Data obtained mapping were compared characteristics that define nurses and are adopted internationally by using a checklist based on International Council of Nurses Guidelines. Results: allowed identify actions, such...
