World poverty is a global issue and a development issue. Poverty reduction and women's empowerment are deeply connected to regional stability and long lasting peace. Nations will continue to be plagued by poverty, and top-down government agency aid programs to date have been unsuccessful. Encouraging news resides in innovative microfinance initiatives that alleviate poverty and impact millions of impoverished people around the globe. Microfinance organizations provide small loans, primarily to women otherwise excluded from the formal banking sector, for entrepreneurial endeavors. Myriad social, educational, and health programs accompany microfinance loan services. It is a powerful poverty-fighting tool with socioeconomic benefits. Evidence suggests that while imperfect, microfinance goals and successes are inspiring given the paucity of realistic alternatives in today's global development arena.

After nearly four years of the most serious financial and economic crisis Europe has seen in 80 years, most EU Member States are facing high budget deficits, growing public debts, while most entrepreneurs are facing difficulties in accessing finance due to the credit crunch. Meanwhile there are more than 23 million unemployed in the EU and unemployment rates have reached an average of 10% and more than 20% in Greece and Spain1. Microcredit can provide an answer to the employment challenges caused by the current economic crisis and to reach the 75% employment target rate set in the Europe 2020 strategy.

Nell'elaborato viene trattato il processo di implementazione di tecniche di Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) su di un impianto pilota all'interno dell'azienda Bonfiglioli Riduttori S.p.A. Dall'analisi dei dati dello storico degli interventi a guasto, effettuati sull'impianto, si sono ottenuti i parametri manutentivi di interesse per avere un quadro generale della situazione di partenza e sono state identificate due tipologie di manutenzione, come previsto dal TPM: l'automanutenzione affidata agli operatori e una serie di interventi programmati di preventiva a carico dell'ente manutenzione. Sono stati effettuati anche una serie di interventi migliorativi per incrementare l'efficienza dell'impianto. In conclusione sono stati confrontati i parametri di partenza con quelli di fine progetto per valutare i miglioramenti conseguiti valutando anche l'aspetto economico degli investimenti fatti. Dai dati ottenuti alla fine del percorso, sono state fatte le dovute considerazioni e sono stati proposti degli elementi di riflessione.

Calculated and measured estimations of biomass of small (<3 mm), large (3-30 mm), and total zooplankton were verified (compared). These integral parameters of epipelagic communities were estimated by two methods. We used previously obtained regression equations, which correlate these parameters with water transparency. Measured values of aforesaid parameters were compared with their mean values in waters of different productivity estimated from NASA satellite maps. We compared data collected at fifteen stations in September-December in regions of different productivity in the North Atlantic. In warm regions (to the south of 40°N) measured and calculated values coincide well. In boreal regions in autumn bulk of mesozooplankton descends to deep layers due to seasonal migrations; hence correlation between measured and calculated values is disrupted. It is evident that correlation between water transparency and mesozooplankton biomass (integral index of water productivity) obtained before should be corrected for seasonal variations.
