The ITER Neutral Beam Test Facility (NBTF), called PRIMA (Padova Research on Megavolt Accelerator), is hosted in Padova, Italy and includes two experiments: MITICA, the full-scale prototype of heating neutral beam injector, SPIDER, full-size radio frequency negative-ions source. NBTF realization exploitation SPIDER MITICA have been recognized as necessary to make future operation injectors efficient reliable, fundamental achievement thermonuclear-relevant plasma parameters ITER.

Considerable policy action has focused on the social patterning of health, especially health risks associated with low income. More recent attention turned to transport, food systems, workplaces, and location, way their intersections position income create inequalities. Time is another dimension that structures what people do; yet in which time contours been neglected. This paper explores (a) how might influence (b) scarcity complicates current understandings Alongside other meanings, can be...
Abstract Time can be thought of as a resource that people need for good health. Healthy behaviour, accessing health services, working, resting and caring all require time. Like other resources, time is socially shaped, but its relevance to inequality yet established. Drawing from sociology political economy, we set out the theoretical basis two measures relevant contemporary, market‐based societies. We measure amount spent on care work (paid unpaid) intensity time, which refers rushing,...
The ITER project requires additional heating by two neutral beam injectors, each accelerating to 1 MV a 40 A of negative deuterium ions, deliver the plasma power about 17 MW for one hour. As these requirements have never been experimentally met, it was recognized as necessary setup test facility, PRIMA (Padova Research on Megavolt Accelerator), in Italy, including full-size ion source, SPIDER, and prototype whole injector, MITICA, aiming develop injectors be installed ITER. This realization...
This paper aims at providing an overview of the COVID-19 situation, health policies, and economic impact in Greece, Iceland, New Zealand, Singapore. The four countries were chosen due to their ability contain spread mitigate effects on societies.We use document analysis based available national reports, media announcements, official coronavirus websites governmental decrees each starting from 1st January o 9th August announcements. We apply a policy gradient compare examine policies...
Multimorbidity is a major challenge for healthcare systems. However, currently, its magnitude and impact in expenditures still mostly unknown.To present an overview of the prevalence costs multimorbidity by socioeconomic levels whole Basque population.We develop cross-sectional analysis that includes all inhabitants Country (N=2,262,698). We utilize data from primary health care electronic medical records, hospital admissions, outpatient databases, corresponding to 4 year period. was defined...
Heating neutral beam (HNB) injectors, necessary to achieve burning conditions and control plasma instabilities in ITER, are characterized by such demanding parameters that a test facility (NBTF) dedicated their development optimization is being realized Padua (Italy) with direct contributions from the Italian government (through Consorzio RFX as host entity) ITER international organization (with kind domestic agencies of Europe, Japan India) technical scientific support various European...
The requirements of ITER neutral beam injectors (1 MeV, 40 A negative deuterium ion current for 1 h) have never been simultaneously attained; therefore, a dedicated Neutral Beam Test Facility (NBTF) was set up at Consorzio RFX (Padova, Italy). NBTF includes two experiments: SPIDER (Source the Production Ions Deuterium Extracted from Rf plasma), full-scale prototype source injectors, with 100 keV accelerator, to investigate and optimize properties source; MITICA, entire injector, devoted...
The initial policy response to the COVID-19 pandemic has differed widely across countries. Such variability in government interventions made it difficult for policymakers and health research systems compare what happened effectiveness of nations. Timely information analysis are crucial addressing lag between responses implement targeted alleviate impact pandemic.
Priority setting in population health is increasingly based on explicitly formulated values. The Patients Rights Act of the Norwegian tax-based service guaranties all citizens care case a severe illness, proven benefit, and proportionality between need treatment. This study compares values country's policy makers with these three official principles.In total 34 participated discrete choice experiment, weighting relative value six criteria. We used multi-variate logistic regression selection...
Worldwide, there is a need for formalization of the priority setting processes in health. Recent research has used term multicriteria decision analysis methods that systematically include preferences both equity and efficiency. The present study compares decision-makers' at country level set efficiency criteria according to framework.Discrete choice experiments were conducted Brazil, Cuba, Nepal, Norway, Uganda. By using standardized methods, we elicited intervention attributes individual...
SPIDER is one of the two projects ITER Neutral Beam Test Facility (NBTF) under construction in Padova, Italy, at Consorzio RFX premises; it will have a 100 keV beam source with full-size prototype radiofrequency (RF) ion for Injector (NBI), designed to operate pulse length up 3600 s, featuring ITER-like filter field configuration, caesium oven layout and wide set diagnostics.These features allow reproducing operation like as cannot be done any other existing test facility.SPIDER realization...
: This paper presents an overview of the procurement and deployment COVID-19 vaccinations in Germany, Austria Switzerland (DACH) from success first vaccine trials until end August 2021. Data regarding vaccination is presented, followed by analysis challenges these countries face improving their rates.: A review available data DACH was conducted. collected official government sources whenever possible supplemented information international databases local reports. The analyzed to identify...
Despite widespread perceptions that SARS-Cov-2 (COVID-19) is no longer a significant threat, the virus continues to loom, and new variants may require renewed efforts control its spread. Understanding how individual preferences attitudes influence vaccination behaviour policy compliance in light of endemic phase crucial preparation for this possibility. This paper presents descriptive data from global stated choice survey conducted 22 countries across 6 different continents between July 2022...
