This commitment translates into product technology innovation, but also into innovative development perspectives for the industries involved in the supply chain. Moreover, dealing with recycled materials can modify the interaction among stakeholders from a conventional supply chain to an industrial symbiosis approach, where companies mutually exchange products and by-products into circular interactions. The purpose of this article is to investigate the circularity performances deriving from the production of a cement mortar reinforced with recycled synthetic fibers coming from artificial turf carpets. From the collection of artificial turf carpets at the end-of-life stage it is possible to recover several materials: plastic fibers used in the cement mortar, and in addition, silica sand, r...

The methodology for this sector is highly innovative, especially in its interdisciplinary approach, through the use of different technical, historical and economic skills which can provide the tools for the preparation of a management plan according to the logic of the life cycle. The analysis protocol is applied to the case of recovery and restoration processes and then outlining the salient features of what may become a model of Cultural Heritage Life Cycle Management (CH-LCM)

La conjunción entre los hallazgos histológicos y los datos moleculares ha sido un punto clave en este fenómeno, y resultado de ello ha sido la clasificación de los tumores renales del adulto de la OMS de 2004. En ella se han unido viejos y nuevos tumores renales. Lejos de estar cerrada, esta clasificación se actualiza gracias a nuevos puntos de vista surgidos a la luz de los nuevos hallazgos que se obtienen fundamentalmente en el campo de la genética. Material y Métodos: El carcinoma papilar renal en el sentido más amplio del término es el objeto de revisión en este trabajo. Este fenotipo histológico en el cáncer renal es un buen ejemplo de evolución incesante de la anatomía patológica como disciplina clínica, con un crecimiento importante en los últimos tiempos. Resultados: El conjunto de neoplasias renales que muestran una histología papilar o túbulo-papilar, o que tienen su sustrato genético, algunas de las cuales son entidades muy recientes y están aún hoy en día en discusión, es amplio y variado: carcinoma papilar esporádico convencional, carcinomas papilares ligados a síndromes genéticos (carcinoma papilar hereditario, carcinoma papilar asociado a leiomiomatosis hereditaria, carcinoma papilar asociado a carcinoma papilar hereditario de tiroides, síndrome de Birt-Hogg-Dubé) o a alteraciones genéticas específicas (carcinomas papilares con translocación Xp11.2), carcinomas papilares con morfología peculiar (carcinoma micropapilar, carcinoma papilar invertido, carcinoma papilar con células fusiformes y túbulos angulados) y carcinomas renales de nuevo cuño englobados dentro del grupo del carcinoma papilar (carcinoma tubulo-quístico y carcinoma mucinoso, tubular y fusocelular). Conclusión: Además de las variedades clásicamente reconocidas, nuevas entidades, algunas no bien definidas aún, están engrosando de forma progresiva el grupo de carcinomas renales con morfología papilar. Lejos de agotarse, este crecimiento continuará en los próximos años a la luz de los nuevos hallazgos, y en éstos los patólogos tendrán mucho que decir. Palabras clave: Tumor renal.

Nata nel 1850 come villa privata, venne acquistata nel 1929 dal Comune. Al momento dell\u2019acquisto la propriet\ue0 Cuoghi \u2013 Vignocchi era composta dalla villa padronale, terreni e giardini, nei quali venne ricavata la piazza intitolata a Ciro Menotti, eroe risorgimentale. Successivamente, nel 1939 la villa venne ampliata con una nuova ala verso nord e con una torretta e venne inaugurata come sede del Municipio, funzione attualmente mantenuta.L\u2019applicazione dell\u2019analisi LCA al progetto di riqualificazione in esame ha come obiettivo la valutazione dell\u2019impatto ambientale del progetto di ristrutturazione. L\u2019unit\ue0 funzionale \ue8 il sistema edificio nell\u2019arco di tempo che intercorre dalla sua costruzione fino alla sua dismissione finale, considerandone la riqualificazione. Si ipotizza che la riqualificazione avvenga nell\u2019anno 2013 e si considera un tempo di vita utile dell\u2019edificio riqualificato di 100 anni. L\u2019analisi preliminare degli impatti eseguita col metodo IMPACT 2002+ opportunamente modificato per garantire una maggiore rappresentativit\ue0 del sistema studiato \ue8 stata eseguita considerando indicatori culturali allo scopo di considerare i vantaggi che possono provenire dalla riqualificazione di un edificio. Sono stati inseriti indicatori come il Valore culturale, che ha come variabili di riferimento (substances) l\u2019et\ue0 dell\u2019edificio, la testimonianza storica e il valore estetico, il Benessere umano, la Funzione e il Valore urbano. Dall\u2019analisi, tali categorie emergono come vantaggi ambientali (segno negativo). Si nota inoltre un vantaggio ambientale nella categoria di danno Respiratory organics dovuto all\u2019uso dei materiali funzionalizzati che abbattono sostanze inquinanti quali NOx e VOC. Il danno ambientale maggiore \ue8 dato dalla fase d\u2019uso, in particolare dall\u2019energia necessaria al riscaldamento invernale (510,74Pt) e dall\u2019energia elettrica per l\u2019illuminazione artificiale (127,73 Pt ). Il danno totale vale 1069,8 P

Primarily, the present article shows the life cycle inventory input data of the system under study and of the conventional air and ground heat pump systems, which were used for comparison. Secondly, complete numerical results are exposed, which are showed only graphically and in an aggregated form in the main article. Data include normalised and unaggregated environmental impacts of each investigated life cycle phase. The article also reports the complete results of the sensitivity analysis conducted using different assumptions on the energy mix and on the energy use.

Despite the growing interest in improving the energy performance of residential as well as office buildings, a research gap is identified in the field of the renovation of industrial buildings and facilities in terms of energy efficiency. A lack is recognized in terms of analysing the improvement of the work environment in all the areas that are not used as offices. Common decarbonisation strategies are usually adopted, as the electrification of some processes, the replacement of obsolete machinery or the implementation of renewable energy sources. However, reaching the ambitious levels set by the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive which aims at nearly zero-energy buildings, remains a challenge. The present paper aims to analyse the main barriers that hamper th...

Two steelmaking plants are the anchor tenants of the network comprising a cement manufacturer, a thermoelectric generation plant, a lead ingots manufacturer, a zinc ingots manufacturer and refractory liner manufacturer, totaling eight relationships. The companies mutually exchange approximately 300,000 tons of by-products per year, comprising coal ash, mill scale, electric arc furnace dust, steam, zinc sludge, lead sludge, and refractory lining leftover, totaling eight dyadic or triadic relationships. The results of the study show that in three relationships, economic barriers exist (excessive processing or logistic cost). In four, internal barriers exist (risk of discontinuity and lack of research). In five, a technical barrier exists, the imbalance between generation and consumption. In seven, the drivers are cost reduction, new products or sources of revenue, and legal requirements. Environmental drivers (increasing the life of deposits or landfills) are present in five relationships. As for the structure, three relationships are one-way, whereas five are closed-loop, that is, involving direct and reverse transfers among partners.

Green supply chain management assures the effectiveness of public and company policies in greening their operations, increasing the market share, improving the company image and reputation, and increasing profits. The objective of this article is to propose a conceptual framework that considers dimensions, categories, and practices in green supply chain management. After an extensive review of the literature, we identified models and a set of green dimensions, categories, and practices used for green supply chain management. From the analysis of the findings, we propose a conceptual framework that is organized into 3 environmental dimensions, 21 categories, and 64 green practices. The framework can contribute to the literature, given that empirical studies mostly select a limited set of dimensions to evaluate supply chain green practices. Finally, this study offers directions for fu...
