Survey of domestic food purchases and related home handling practices in the Abruzzo region (central Italy): Data collection and analysis through a language-independent classification system

A telephone survey was carried out on 13,486 randomly selected households located in the Abruzzo region (central Italy). Three questionnaires were specifically designed in relation to three different groups of foods (Meat and meat products, Fishery products, Fruit and vegetables). Questions were mainly focused on the amount and number of purchases, type of retailer, and home food handling practices with respect to the week prior to the interview. Data were classified according to a multilingual thesaurus system (LanguaL). Results allowed to estimate domestic purchases (in kg) per capita for different food categories. The category “Red meat/Cattle” accounted for a large part of purchases in the “meat and meat products” group (10.9 kg per capita/year; 32.2% of purchases in the group) while the category “Fish or related organism/Fish” was the most purchased in the “fishery products” group (6.9 kg per capita/year; 63.3%). The aggregation of more detailed characteristics enabled the identification of popular categories of foods, such as “Red meat/Cattle/Divided into pieces” (25% of the “meat and meat products” group). Significant differences (p < 0.05) were found between the four different provinces (L'Aquila, Chieti, Pescara and Teramo) with respect to “Poultry/Chicken” and “Red meat/Cattle” categories. Householders were also asked about post-purchase food handling practices that might be hazardous to food safety. More than 20% of those surveyed stated that they thawed frozen meat at room temperature. The degree of doneness after cooking of different food categories was generally high: over 90% of products purchased in the majority of meat and fish categories were properly cooked. However a noticeable proportion of householders (about 15%) reported medium or rare cooking of “Red meat/Cattle” and “Red meat/Swine”. Differences (p < 0.05) were also found between consumers of different ages, with people over 65 years old being more prone to freeze meat and cook it thoroughly.The survey was carried out in a specific geographic area and on a statistically significant sample of households, thus allowing a collection of data on domestic habits relating to food purchases and home food handling practices. This information should be included in the framework of quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) models as a measure of the actual exposure of consumers to pathogenic microorganism. The LanguaL system also proved to be a practical language-independent method useful not only to identify and describe food items but also to classify them according to specific food safety characteristics.

一种新的主动网络安全体系的设计

尽管主动网络原型系统中设计了一些安全措施，但是它们都不具通用性且主要集中在security方面，这在主动网络必须和传统网络相兼容的情况下，阻碍了主动网络的发展。本文在定义消极型错误和积极型错误的基础上，设计了主动网络资源控制核。然后提出了集security和safety保障为一体的基于资源控制核的一种通用的主动网络安全体系，探讨了该体系应具有的特点、设计目标和可行性，并设计了主动节点的安全机制。

宝珠寺重力坝安全监测设计及优化研究

大坝安全监测设计指导和控制着安全监测工作的进行，安全监测的效果和作用与监测设计质量有很大关系。通过对宝珠寺大级安全监测设计结果的研究，提出变形监测采用分段连续引张线法；渗流监测方面，测压管管径应小于50mm，且应根据不同测点量程，选用不同规格的仪器，以保证精度；应力监测有必要结合地质情况对监测设计进行优化；还应选择可能存在安全隐患和异常部位的测点进行自动化跟踪监测。
