Book excerpt: I lavori in quota restano, sia a livello statistico che di percezione collettiva, tra le attività considerate più a rischio in ambito lavorativo. L’attuazione di misure di prevenzione e di protezione in certi casi si scontra con le esigenze sempre più pressanti di rapidità ed economicità del lavoro da eseguire. Inoltre nelle fasi di manutenzione o d’intervento su edifici esistenti diventa a volte complesso pianificare misure adeguate perché in precedenza non erano stati presi i dovuti accorgimenti. Le figure coinvolte nei lavori in quota, siano essi datori di lavoro, RSPP, lavoratori o coordinatori per la sicurezza devono conoscere il problema, valutare i rischi e saper scegliere le misure adeguate in funzione sia dei numerosi parametri operativi (per esempio durata e tipologia del lavoro, condizioni del sito, presenza d’interferenze) e sia della dotazione aziendale di mezzi e personale. Questo volume fornisce elementi di pratica e veloce consultazione alle varie figure della sicurezza, aziendale e del cantiere, sui temi più ricorrenti che riguardano l’esecuzione dei lavori in quota. Dopo un’introduzione alla normativa in ambito lavori in quota sono affrontati i dispositivi di protezione individuale, le piattaforme di lavoro elevabili, le scale e i trabattelli, i ponteggi, i lavori in copertura e il lavoro con funi. Al termine di ciascun capitolo si riassumono gli obblighi formativi relativi al singolo tema e infine trovano spazio un’analisi degli errori più frequenti e una check-list operativa sull’argomento trattato. La trattazione, organizzata in modo discorsivo e con un ampio ricorso a schemi e immagini, sarà di sicuro aiuto per comprendere meglio il rischio collegato ai lavori in quota e per organizzare adeguate misure di prevenzione e protezione. È certamente importante conoscere quanto prescritto dalle norme sui lavori in quota, ma è ancora più importante capire cosa fare, come fare e perché fare, così da procedere verso un continuo e costante miglioramento delle condizioni di sicurezza dei lavoratori.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La caduta dall’alto rappresenta indubbiamente una delle principali cause d’infortunio sul lavoro. Collegata alle cosiddette lavorazioni in quota, è certamente riscontrabile in tutte le attività industriali, ma diviene rischio tipico quando si affronta il settore delle costruzioni e dell’ingegneria civile. Per le ragioni esposte, il legislatore si è preoccupato, con le norme di legge per la sicurezza sul lavoro, con una serie di Linee guida e, soprattutto, attraverso l’emanazione di numerose Norme tecniche, di istituire un sistema sicurezza per i lavori in quota in grado di contemplare i rischi insiti sia nelle fasi di realizzazione dell’opera di costruzione, ma anche nelle fasi transitorie collegate alla messa in opera degli apprestamenti e delle attrezzature. Il presente testo si propone di coordinare, dunque, in maniera armonica, tutte le indicazioni e i precetti derivanti dai differenti corpi normativi, cercando di fornire indirizzi giuridici chiari ma anche istruzioni operative sia sulla scelta, che sull’utilizzo delle più opportune misure di prevenzione e protezione contro i rischi di caduta dall’alto. Nel corpo del libro viene dato ampio risalto al concetto di efficace valutazione del rischio, concetto indispensabile per poter ottimizzare le scelte organizzative e di formazione dei soggetti imprenditoriali direttamente o indirettamente coinvolti con i lavori in quota. Il testo, alla stregua di un manuale teorico/pratico, è rivolto ai tecnici impegnati nelle attività tipiche del cantiere (progettisti, direzione lavori, ecc.) ma anche e soprattutto ai datori di lavoro che ne potranno fare un valido riferimento al momento della scelta delle misure di prevenzione, dei dispositivi di protezione e degli interventi formativi da mettere a disposizione dei lavoratori oltre ad un evidente spunto per la redazione dei documenti per la sicurezza (DVR, POS, ecc.). I coordinatori per la sicurezza, infine, potranno utilizzare le indicazioni del testo in ogni momento in cui occorra fare scelte progettuali e inserire, all’interno del Piano di Sicurezza e Coordinamento, precise indicazioni e prescrizioni per l’abbattimento del rischio di caduta dall’alto. Danilo G.M. De Filippo, ingegnere, è Responsabile dell’U.O. Vigilanza Ordinaria e Tecnica presso la Direzione Provinciale del Lavoro di Siena e fa parte del gruppo di formatori incaricati dal Ministero del Lavoro e delle Politiche Sociali in seno al progetto “Formazione e Sicurezza”.

Book excerpt: Political scientists generally have been disposed to treat Italian Fascism--if not generic fascism--as an idiosyncratic episode in the special history of Europe. James Gregor contends, to the contrary, that Italian Fascism has much in common with an inclusive class of developmental revolutionary regimes. Originally published in 1980. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are at least three ways in which a public health program or policy may not reach stated goals for success: 1) Choosing an intervention approach whose effectiveness is not established in the scientific literature; 2) Selecting a potentially effective program or policy yet achieving only weak, incomplete implementation or "reach," thereby failing to attain objectives; 3) Conducting an inadequate or incorrect evaluation that results in a lack of generalizable knowledge on the effectiveness of a program or policy; and 4) Paying inadequate attention to adapting an intervention to the population and context of interest To enhance evidence-based practice, this book addresses all four possibilities and attempts to provide practical guidance on how to choose, carry out, and evaluate evidence-based programs and policies in public health settings. It also begins to address a fifth, overarching need for a highly trained public health workforce. This book deals not only with finding and using scientific evidence, but also with implementation and evaluation of interventions that generate new evidence on effectiveness. Because all these topics are broad and require multi-disciplinary skills and perspectives, each chapter covers the basic issues and provides multiple examples to illustrate important concepts. In addition, each chapter provides links to the diverse literature and selected websites for readers wanting more detailed information. An indispensable volume for professionals, students, and researchers in the public health sciences and preventative medicine, this new and updated edition of Evidence-Based Public Health aims to bridge research and evidence with policies and the practice of public health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive description of the screening and clinical applications of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and offers straightforward, clear guidance on use of the technique. Informative clinical cases are presented to illustrate how to take advantage of DBT in clinical practice. The importance of DBT as a diagnostic tool for both screening and diagnosis is increasing rapidly. DBT improves upon mammography by depicting breast tissue on a video clip made of cross‐sectional images reconstructed in correspondence with their mammographic planes of acquisition. DBT results in markedly reduced summation of overlapping breast tissue and offers the potential to improve mammographic breast cancer surveillance and diagnosis. This book will be an excellent practical teaching guide for beginners and a useful reference for more experienced radiologists.

Book excerpt: Evolution of Particle Physics is concerned with the birth of particle physics and its maturation as a scientific field, with emphasis on advances in both theory and experiment. Topics covered include weak interactions and the breaking of hadron symmetries; the role of complexity in nature; symmetry principles in physics; and isobaric analog resonances in phenomenological nuclear spectroscopy. Adiabatic transformations as well as range and straggling of muons are also discussed. This book is comprised of 24 chapters and begins with a review of some of the most important discoveries in particle physics, along with the tools and techniques that made it possible. The reader is then introduced to symmetry breaking, paying particular attention to hadron symmetries and their connection to weak interactions. The following chapters explore channeling of ultrarelativistic charged particles in crystals; coherent scattering of high-energy hadrons by light nuclei; elementary particle physics and high-energy physics; and the design and use of large electron synchrotrons. This monograph will be of interest to particle physicists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Italiano]: In un momento così significativo per la storia europea e mondiale, questo volume vuole essere la raccolta di riflessioni scientifiche condotte sui rapporti tra le scelte politiche, le azioni militari e la fisionomia delle città e del paesaggio urbano, sull’evoluzione delle strutture e delle tecniche di difesa, sulla rappresentazione della guerra e dei suoi effetti sull’immagine urbana, sul recupero delle tracce della memoria cittadina. Da una parte il campo delle Digital Humanities apre nuove prospettive per studiare l'immagine della città prima, durante e dopo la guerra, dall’altro le tecnologie digitali impegnano studiosi e ricercatori di varie discipline: in particolare nell’ambito del disegno viene esplorato il ruolo della rappresentazione nella formulazione dei progetti urbani di difesa e nella documentazione degli eventi bellici e delle tracce lasciate dai conflitti, mentre nell’ambito del restauro vengono approfondite le sfide teoriche e pratiche imposte dai danni arrecati dai conflitti ai centri storici, passando in rassegna casi studio, soluzioni e dibattiti relativi alla conservazione del patrimonio urbano coinvolto in azioni di guerra, con un'attenzione particolare all'identità e alla memoria collettiva./[English]: At such a significant moment in European and world history, this volume aims to be a collection of scientific reflections about the relationships between political choices, military actions and the physiognomy of cities and the urban landscape, about the evolution of defence structures and techniques, about the representation of war and its effects on the urban image, and about the recovery of the traces of city memory. On the one hand the field of Digital Humanities opens up new perspectives to study the image of the city before, during and after the war, on the other hand digital technologies engage academics and researchers from various disciplines: In particular, in the area of drawing, the role of representation in the formulation of urban defence projects and in the documentation of wartime events and the traces left behind by conflicts is explored, while in the area of conservation, the theoretical and practical challenges imposed by the damage caused by conflicts to historic centres are explored, reviewing case studies, solutions and debates relating to the conservation of urban heritage involved in wartime actions, with a focus on identity and collective memory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent development of ideas on biodiversity conservation was already being considered almost three-quarters of a century ago for crop plants and the wild species related to them, by the Russian geneticist N.!. Vavilov. He was undoubtedly the first scientist to understand the impor tance for humankind of conserving for utilization the genetic diversity of our ancient crop plants and their wild relatives from their centres of diversity. His collections showed various traits of adaptation to environ mental extremes and biotypes of crop diseases and pests which were unknown to most plant breeders in the first quarter of the twentieth cen tury. Later, in the 1940s-1960s scientists began to realize that the pool of genetic diversity known to Vavilov and his colleagues was beginning to disappear. Through the replacement of the old, primitive and highly diverse land races by uniform modem varieties created by plant breed ers, the crop gene pool was being eroded. The genetic diversity of wild species was equally being threatened by human activities: over-exploita tion, habitat destruction or fragmentation, competition resulting from the introduction of alien species or varieties, changes and intensification of land use, environmental pollution and possible climate change.

Book excerpt: It is universally recognised that Venice and its lagoon are of such value that they constitute an international public good that must be preserved for humanity as a whole. But such an ambitious task requires a diversified, sustainable set of economic activities, mostly focused on the production of services and non-material goods. This complex issue is analyzed using different approaches, with a discussion of the case of Venice as an example of some of the most relevant problems concerning the relation between the environment and development in the contemporary world: the trade-off between preserving an ecosystem and considering it as an economic resource; the evolution of different urban growth scenarios and the preservation of a physical habitat; the role of immaterial production in urban economic development; the nature of tourism as a sustainable activity, considered from both from the environmental and cultural angles; the institutional aspect of governing a process of sustainable urban development. Readership: A unique resource for environmental and urban managers, policy analysts, students of sustainable development, and anyone else interested in the social and economic implications of preserving one of the most loved and celebrated cities in the world.
