Integration of flows and signals data from mobile phone network for statistical analyses of traffic in a flooding risk area

In this paper, we present a robust spatiotemporal statistical methodology that is capable of accurately forecasting traffic in the flood-prone area of the Mandolossa in the Province of Brescia (Italy). An innovative combination of two sources of mobile phone data is proposed to obtain an extremely accurate representation of the flows of people passing by the streets directly linked to the risky area. Three types of flows have been considered: outflows (from the flood-prone area to the neighbo...

Emerging contaminants in food matrices: An overview of the occurrence, pathways, impacts and detection techniques of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances

: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been used in industrial and consumer applications for ages. The pervasive and persistent nature of PFAS in the environment is a universal concern due to public health risks. Experts acknowledge that exposure to high levels of certain PFAS have consequences, including reduced vaccine efficacy, elevated cholesterol, and increased risk of high blood pressure. While considerable research has been conducted to investigate the presence of PFAS in th...

European association of perinatal medicine (EAPM) position statement: Screening, diagnosis and management of congenital anomalies of the umbilical cord

: Congenital anomalies of the umbilical cord are associated with an increased risk of pregnancy and perinatal complications. Some anomalies of the cord have a higher prevalence than other fetal structural anomalies. The most common anomalies are the absence of an umbilical artery and velamentous insertion of the cord (with or without vasa previa). These anomalies, even when not associated with fetal structural defects, increase the risk of adverse perinatal outcome including, fetal growth res...
