Top Management Evaluation in Italian Food & Beverage Industry

The standard ISO 9001: 2015 “Quality Management System. Requirements” states that the success of a company’s quality certification system is closely linked to the quality of its top management. The aim of the present work is to develop a model of top management quality evaluation useful for the ends of this certification. The model is calibrated for the Italian Food & Beverage Industry and it follows a multidisciplinary approach. The evaluation model is formed by two parts. In the first, the quality of top management is associated with an estimate of the probability of default and the related average expected life of a company in the Italian Food & Beverage Industry. These parameters are calculated using an original, easy-to-apply methodology that is especially useful for small and medium-sized companies that do not have an official rating. The second part of the model provides a system to estimate the quality of top managers' management styles based on seven qualitative organizational variables, which are then summarized by the attribution of a score ranging from 1 to 10. The judgments formulated in the two parts of the model must be considered as a system to arrive at an integrated final evaluation

Estimates and multivariable risk assessment of mid-buccal gingival recessions in an Italian adult population according to the 2018 World Workshop Classification System

Objectives: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to provide estimate of mid-buccal gingival recession (GR) according to the 2018 World Workshop Classification System and to explore GR risk indicators in a representative urban population in North-West of Italy. Material and methods: This is a secondary analysis using data collected in an epidemiological study enrolling a representative sample of 736 adults, living in Turin. GR prevalence was defined as the presence of at least one mid-buccal GR ≥ 1 mm. GRs were categorized according to the 2018 classification system (RT1, RT2, RT3) and to different severity cutoffs. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify RT GR risk indicators. Results: Mid-buccal GR ≥ 1 mm affected 57.20% of subjects and 14.56% of teeth. When considering RT1 GRs, their prevalence was 40.90% and 6.29% at the patient and tooth level. RT2 and RT3 GRs affected 25.82% and 36.68% of the study population, respectively. RT1 GRs occurred mostly on maxillary and mandibular premolars and maxillary canines, while RT2 and RT3 GRs on maxillary molars and mandibular incisors. Older age, high education, and full-mouth plaque score (FMPS) 60% were significant contributors to RT2 and RT3 GRs. Conclusions: RT1 and RT3 are fairly common findings in this Italian population and are significantly associated to different contributing factors and tooth type distribution pattern. Clinical relevance: Prevention strategies should target different socio-demographic, behavioral, and clinical risk indicators based on the RT classes
