Abstract

In the second half of the 1950s the Ente Nazionale Idrocarburi (ENI), the main Italian state-owned oil company, founded in 1953, experienced an intense phase of development. It was in this context that in 1956 AGIP Nucleare was established: the new firm, completely controlled by ENI, had the task of establishing a first nuclear power plant in Latina, near Rome, attesting the technical capability of the group and justifying the expansionist ambitions of its top management. This chapter analyzes the case of AGIP Nucleare, focusing on three peculiar aspects: the national political environment that led ENI to foster a strategy that was independent both from private energy enterprises and from other Italian public holdings; ENI’s controversial international relations; the pattern followed by ENI to acquire knowledge in the nuclear field. National and international political and technological contrasts resulted in a peculiar development of the Italian nuclear industry: the successful establishment of the first three nuclear power plants, one owned by private enterprises, one by IRI and the third by ENI, was not followed by an effective national nuclear policy that could lead to further developments.

Abstract

The haptophyte Pavlova lutheri was cultivated in a 4-l flat alveolar photobioreactor (FAP) in semi-continuous mode during 35 days, achieving a mean volumetric productivity of 0.4 g l-1 day-1. The microalgal culture was harvested from the photobioreactor at an average concentration of 3.5 g l-1 and subjected to different storage conditions in which the effects of temperature (1 °C, 4 °C and 25 °C), air supply and preservative (ascorbic or propionic acid) addition on the viability of the stored suspensions were investigated. Low temperatures (1 and 4 °C) and air-bubbling extended the shelf-life of the stored suspension, while no beneficial effects of ascorbic or propionic acid were found. The influence of temperature and air-bubbling on fatty acid content and profile was also evaluated over a 23-day period of storage. Air-bubbled suspensions exhibited, on the average, a 70% decrease of total fatty acid content (TFA) during storage. Non-bubbled suspensions showed a much lower decrease. The decrease mainly involved the saturated 14:0 and 16:0 and the monounsaturated 16:1n-7 and 18:1n-9. The polyunsaturated eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3; EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3; DHA) decreased significantly only at the end of the storage period. A feeding trial on Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) larvae was carried out with fresh and preserved P. lutheri biomass kept under the best storage conditions previously defined (1 °C; darkness; air-bubbling). After 14 days of rearing no significant differences in growth or survival were detected when fresh or preserved P. lutheri was used in a monospecific diet or in association with the diatom Chaetoceros calcitrans forma pumilum.

Abstract

The Breast Cancer Revealed initiative was designed and conducted to know the status of breast cancer at each point of breast cancer care, through i) prevention, ii) detection, iii) diagnosis, iv) treatment, and iv) the capacity of our health systems. The expert panel from 11 Latin American countries identified several strategies and proposed high impact priorities, including implementation of prevention policies, improve primary healthcare capacity for breast cancer screening, have adequate infrastructure to make effective and timely diagnoses, have a multidisciplinary team in the treatment process, access to a variety of treatments for all types of patients, have a coordinated and articulated system from primary care to specialized hospital. In a region with limited resources, prioritization in high-impact strategies for breast cancer control could lead to improved clinical outcomes and quality of life for our patients., Competing Interests: Conflict of Interest Statement JMC received grants from Roche and Genomic Health and payment for lectures from BRP Oncology Updates and Roche Bolivia. The other authors declare they have not potential conflict of interests with this research., (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.)
