Preliminary validation of an indirect method for discharge evaluation of Pertuso Spring (Central Italy)

This paper deals with the results of the first year of the Environmental Monitoring Plan, related to the catchment project of Pertuso Spring, which is going to be exploited to supply an important water network in the South part of Roma district. The study area is located in the Upper Valley of the Aniene River (Latium, Central Italy), in the outcrop of Triassic-Cenozoic carbonate rocks, and belong to an important karst aquifer. Pertuso Spring is the main outlet of this karst aquifer and is the one of the most important water resource in the southeast part of Latium Region, used for drinking, agriculture and hydroelectric supplies. Karst aquifer feeding Pertuso Spring is an open hydrogeological system aquifer characterized by complex interactions and exchanges between groundwater and surface water which influence the aquifer water budget. Thus, evaluation of groundwater discharge from this karst spring can be affected by difficulties in performing measurements because of the insufficient knowledge about water transfer processes in the hydrological cycle and geometry of drainage conduits. The aim of this paper is to assess the interactions between karst aquifer feeding Pertuso Spring and Aniene River based on stream discharge measurements and water geochemical tracer data in order to validate an indirect method for karst spring discharge evaluation. As a matter of fact, in this paper, there are presented the results of the application of Magnesium as a reliable tracer of karst spring discharge. This indirect method is based on the elaboration of surface water discharge measurements in relationship with Mg2+ concentration values, determined as for groundwater, coming from Pertuso Spring, as for surface water sample, collected upstream and downstream of Pertuso Spring, along Aniene River streamflow. The application of Magnesium as an environmental tracer provides a means to evaluate discharge of Pertuso Spring, as it came up to be a marker of the mixing of surface water and groundwater. On the other hand, the Magnesium ion concentration provides information for the identification of groundwater flow systems and the main hydrogeochemical processes affecting the composition of water within the karst aquifers

ЯЗЫК ПРОФЕССИОНАЛЬНЫХ УБИЙЦ

Розглянуто мову професійних убивць як професійну мову. Наведено низку характерних прикладів такої мови. Показано, що специфічною особливістю мови убивць є її евфемізація, яка спрямовується ними на певне пом’якшення оцінок порушень злочинцями соціальних установлень, а іноді й на виправдання цих порушень. Крім того, характерною ознакою мови вбивць є пряма (щодо своїх жертв) або прихована вербальна агресія, що має на меті вербальний вплив на адресата з метою зміни його ціннісних установок щодо дій злочинців.The author has considered the language of professional killers as a professional language. It has been indicated that legal psychology in some areas of research is also based on the achievements of legal linguistics, in particular on psychological linguistics, where the concept of linguistic identity takes the prominent place in categorical apparatus. The linguistic portrait – is the linguistic identity of a definite social community embodied in the language. From this perspective, psychologists are primarily interested in those features of linguistic identity, bearing the features of group identity. And interests of legal psychologists are focused on the social community of people, whose activities are in some way connected with the law, including criminal and deviant individuals. To this regard the objective of this article is to determine the psychological characteristics of the language of professional killers. A number of specific examples of such a language and the definition of professional killers as a particular social group have been provided. It has been proved that a specific feature of the language of killers is euphemization of their professional terminology. The explanation of this from the psychological point of view is the origin and attempts to overcome the cognitive dissonance between criminal behavior and social ban of murder that has become as persistent attitudes in the society – has become a taboo behavior and transformed into stereotypes of behavior. Reducing the dissonance is typically achieved by the fact that in many cases designation of the “murder” is replaced by others, softer and more vague designations as “physical elimination”, “higher degree”, “liquidate”, which are aimed at easing certain estimates of violating social precepts by the criminals and sometimes to justify these violations. In Besides, a characteristic feature of the language of killers is the direct killers (concerning their victims) or hidden verbal aggression that aims verbal impact on the recipient in order to change the attitudes about the actions of criminals.Рассмотрен язык профессиональных убийц как язык профессиональный. Приведён ряд характерных примеров такого языка. Показано, что специфической особенностью языка убийц является его эвфемизация, которая направлена на определённое смягчение оценок нарушений преступниками социальных установлений, а порой и на оправдание этих нарушений. Кроме того, характерным признаком языка убийц является прямая (направленная на их жертвы) или скрытая вербальная агрессия, цель которой состоит в вербальном воздействии на адресата для изменения его ценностных установок относительно действий преступников

Karst spring recharge areas and discharge relationship by oxygen-18 and deuterium isotopes analyses. A case study in southern latium region, Italy

Karst aquifer recharge areas are usually difficult to identify because of the complexity of these aquifers' characteristics. On the other hand, their identification is very important in the aim of protecting the groundwater resources that these aquifers host. Regarding this topic, this paper presents an approach aimed at identifying karst aquifer recharge areas by the application of oxygen-18 and deuterium isotopes composition of groundwater coupled with hydrological features. Oxygen-18 and deuterium isotope composition of Capodacqua di Spigno Spring, in the South of the Latium Region, has been applied with rainfall and discharge values related to the feeding aquifer of this spring. As δ18O and δ2H values of groundwater samples are natural tracers of the recharge area's elevation, we propose a model, based on the distribution of the basin surfaces involved as recharge areas, in relation to elevations. The model estimates, for any discharge value, the percentage of the topographic area involved in the aquifer recharge. The setting up of this simulated distribution is supported by a Weibull cumulative probability function. The results show that the measured discharges increase as larger areas with lower elevations are involved in the recharge process

Hydraulic conductivity estimation using low-flow purging data elaboration in contaminated sites

Hydrogeological characterization is required when investigating contaminated sites, and hydraulic conductivity is an important parameter that needs to be estimated. Before groundwater sampling, well water level values are measured during low-flow purging to check the correct driving of the activity. However, these data are generally considered only as an indicator of an adequate well purging. In this paper, water levels and purging flow rates were considered to estimate hydraulic conductivity values in an alluvial aquifer, and the obtained results were compared with traditional hydraulic conductivity test results carried on in the same area. To test the applicability of this method, data coming from 59 wells located in the alluvial aquifer of Malagrotta waste disposal site, a large area of 160 ha near Rome, were analyzed and processed. Hydraulic conductivity values were estimated by applying the Dupuit's hypothesis for steady-state radial flow in an unconfined aquifer, as these are the hydraulic conditions in pumping wells for remediation purposes. This study aims to show that low-flow purging procedures in monitoring wells-carried out before sampling for groundwater characterization-represent an easy and inexpensive method for soil hydraulic conductivity estimation with good feasibility, if correctly carried on

It has been noted that its subject is studying of a special independent phenomenon that is created by a specific operation of language in the law sphere. The appearance of legal linguistics was caused by the practical need to develop linguistic aspects of the law, studying of legal linguistics issues within the legal communication, mass media and some areas of politics and diplomacy. Legal linguistics establishes a direct link of socio-linguistics, and lingua conflict resolution studies both among themselves and with other related sciences. For professionals working in the field of legal psychology, there is a certain interest is in determining the following research achievements of legal linguistics that could enrich the research area of legal psychology. Their search is the objective of the paper. Based on the logic of interdisciplinary studies, the author of the paper has conducted the analysis of a number of works in the field of legal linguistics in order to seek the synergies with legal psychology. It has been demonstrated that such a thoroughly developed direction of legal linguistics as linguistic conflict resolution studies is thematically the closest to legal psychology. Thus, the concepts of a conflict, communicational behavior and communicational conflict that are discussed in psychology, are largely coincide with the term of “lingua legal conflict”, which is one of the key concepts of linguistic conflict resolution studies. The content of this concept in legal linguistics associate with the physical or verbal (verbal abuse) pressure, and the term of “violence” correlate with the concept of “aggression” that is well developed in psychology in general and in legal psychology in particular. An important for the analysis is also the fact that communicational conflict and verbal aggression in legal linguistics consider within the legal position as a lingua legal conflict, that is as a “linguistic crime”. The author argues that the scientific achievements of legal linguistics and in particular linguistic conflict resolution studies expand the space of legal psychology and may be useful in the research carried out by legal psychologists.Представлена новая междисциплинарная наука – юридическая лингвистика (юрислингвистика).

GDP-An Accountable Data Transfer Across Multiple Entities

We propose a novel answer for cross-site cold-start item suggestion, which intends to we show a nonspecific information genealogy structure GDP(Generic Data Protection) for information stream over different elements that take two trademark, main parts (i.e., proprietor and buyer). We characterize the correct security ensures required by such an information heredity system toward distinguishing proof of a liable substance, and recognize the streamlining non-denial and genuineness suppositions. We at that point create and break down a novel responsible information exchange convention between two elements inside a pernicious situation by expanding upon unmindful exchange, vigorous watermarking, and mark primitives. At long last, we play out a trial assessment to exhibit the common sense of our convention and apply our system to the vital information spillage situations of information outsourcing and interpersonal organizations

Quality of dying in hospital general wards: a cross-sectional study about the end-of-life care

Abstract Background In the last decade, access to national palliative care programs have improved, however a large proportion of patients continued to die in hospital, particularly within internal medicine wards. Objectives To describe treatments, symptoms and clinical management of adult patients at the end of their life and explore whether these differ according to expectation of death. Methods Single-centre cross-sectional study performed in the medical and surgical wards of a large tertiary-level university teaching hospital in the north of Italy. Data on nursing interventions and diagnostic procedure in proximity of death were collected after interviewing the nurse and the physician responsible for the patient. Relationship between nursing treatments delivered and patients’ characteristics, quality of dying and nurses’ expectation about death was summarized by means of multiple correspondence analysis (MCA). Results Few treatments were found statistically associated with expectation of death in the 187 patients included. In the last 48 h, routine (70.6%) and biomarkers (41.7%) blood tests were performed, at higher extent on patients whose death was not expected. Many symptoms classified as severe were reported when death was highly expected, except for agitation and respiratory fatigue which were reported when death was moderately expected. A high Norton score and absence of anti-bedsore mattress were associated with unexpected death and poor quality of dying, as summarized by MCA. Quality of dying was perceived as good by nurses when death was moderately and highly expected. Physicians rated more frequently than nurses the quality of dying as good or very good, respectively 78.6 and 57.8%, denoting a fair agreement between the two professionals (k = 0.24, P <  0.001). The palliative care consultant was requested for only two patients. Conclusion Staff in medical and surgical wards still deal inadequately with the needs of dying people. Presence of hospital-based specialist palliative care could lead to improvements in the patients’ quality of life
