A rapid, selective, sensitive, and reproducible method for the analysis of environmental estrogens, either natural or synthetic, present in samples from sewage treatment works (STW) has been developed. Isolation these compounds STWs was performed by applying a simple extraction procedure using an ENVI-CARB cartridge (a graphitized non porous carbon black) as solid-phase (SPE) system. Liquid chromatography coupled with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) tandem mass spectrometry...
Consumption practices show a strong presence of crystallised social understandings, organising rules and permanent ways acting that prevent individuals from changing towards more sustainable habits. Over the years, human–computer interaction research tried to help people engage in lifestyles promoting health Earth. However, by favouring an individualistic rationalistic approach design, these attempts often lacked deep understanding how are intertwined with dynamics organisational structures...
An analytical procedure that enables routine analysis for trace determination of six anabolic macrocyclic lactones (zearalenone, alpha- and beta-zearalenol, zearalanone, zeranol, taleranol) in sewage treatment plant (STP) samples has been developed. The method uses solid-phase extraction, followed by high-performance liquid chromatography with on-line tandem mass spectrometry using atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (LC/APCI-MS/MS). extraction these compounds from filtered water was...
This article brings into conversation scholarship in law and the social studies of outer space around question "uses" space, shortcomings existing legal instruments, possibility to reform them place environmental concerns at their core. Starting from Outer Space Treaty (OST), using geography an lens, we highlight interconnections between de-territorializing image province (hu)mankind, seemingly consequent egalitarian principle benefit sharing. By reading this language OST against its...
A sensitive and selective high performance liquid chromatographic doxophylline assay with ultraviolet detection has been developed for plasma samples. The drug is isolated from biological samples a reversed phase C18 disposable extraction column. Plasma standard curves are linear concentrations of 0.03 to 10 mg/L. At the therapeutic range concentrations, recoveries better than 96.9%. coefficients variation procedure 4.1% 2.7% mg/L mg/L, respectively. By this method, pharmacokinetic profiles...

Abstract The New Space Age is awash with discourses about space colonization and resource exploitation, these happily coexist the age-old curiosity-driven question, “Are we alone in universe?” Astrobiology addresses this question and, at same time, codifies knowledge useful for protecting our planet other celestial bodies from harmful contamination. This article critically examines astroenvironmentalism as discussed within astrobiology attempts to rescue it becoming a principle of border...
Since the 1980s, construction of Sardar Sarovar, a megadam to be built along Narmada River, has been promoted by Indian government as an instrument democratization, potentially supplying drinking water millions people. On other hand, nationalist discourse on dams ‘Temples Modern India’ challenged social movements such Bachao Andolan (NBA). Activists and intellectuals have stressed that form part biopolitical apparatus causing displacement relocation, mainly for Adivasis (indigenous people)....
NaTech events define the interaction between natural hazards and industrial accidents leading to major fires, explosions or toxic releases where hazardous substances are involved. Among events, earthquake is one of most important, because it affects entire plant can cause simultaneous damage different equipment. This study evaluates local seismic response at Bussi MHIP Chemical Company, located in Abruzzo region (Central Italy). It a representative Major-Hazard Industrial Plant (MHIP)...
