L'objectiu d’aquesta fitxa tècnica és la difusió de la metodologia Anàlisi de Cicle de Vida, ACV, com a mètode per avaluar ambientalment l’agricultura ecològica, detectar els punts febles i aportar alternatives. Els estudis d’ACV utilitzen la metodologia proposada per les normatives ISO (ISO-14040, 2006; ISO-14044, 2006). Els estudis previs que l’han aplicat avalen la metodologia, mostrant que l’eina ACV reuneix les característiques d’objectivitat i transparència per a l’estudi de l’impacte ambiental de la producció agrària ecològica. Existeixen, però, aspectes metodològics poc desenvolupats que requeriran de futura recerca i que resumim en aquesta fitxa. Aspectes principalment relacionats amb la necessitat de bases de dades locals per una correcta realització dels inventaris i consens en les metodologies per anàlisis d’impactes relacionats principalment amb l’ús del sòl, biodiversitat i toxicitat.

La contaminación de suelos y aguas subterráneas es uno de los problemas ambientales más extendidos en gran parte de los terrenos industriales de Cataluña. En este proyecto se ha analizado el proceso de gestión de la contaminación: caracterización, remediación y seguimiento de la descontaminación en suelos y aguas subterráneas por un caso de afección por organoclorados (percloroetileno) y otros contaminantes (hidrocarburos, selenio y cromo) en un emplazamiento industrial situado en una zona agroforestal (superficie de 81.462 m2). A partir de la implantación en la empresa del sistema de gestión ISO 14.001 en 1.996, se abrieron diferentes proyectos de gestión para los posibles contaminantes. Por las mismas fechas, también se detectó una afección por selenio en aguas subterráneas, ajena a la empresa de estudio. Por el momento, el único contaminante que ha requerido de un proceso de descontaminación ha sido el percloroetileno. En suelos se emplea el método “soil vapor extraction” y en aguas subterráneas el método “airstripping”. Finalmente, se ha llevado a cabo una comparación de los costes reales derivados del proceso de descontaminación del percloroetileno en contra de los costes que se hubiesen derivado la implantación de medidas de prevención de la contaminación. El resultado de la valoración indica que la descontaminación de éste compuesto requiere de una inversión económica importante, unas 10 veces más elevada que los costes derivados de las medidas de prevención.

Hypoglycaemia is a major cause of neonatal morbidity and may induce long-term developmental sequelae. Clinical signs of hypoglycaemia in neonatal infants are unspecific or even absent, and therefore, precise and accurate methods for the assessment of glycaemia are needed. Glycaemia measurement in newborns has some particularities like a very low limit of normal glucose concentration compared to adults and a large range of normal haematocrit values. Many bedside point-of-care testing (POCT) systems are available, but literature about their accuracy in newborn infants is scarce and not very convincing. In this retrospective study, we identified over a 1-year study period 1,324 paired glycaemia results, one obtained at bedside with one of three different POCT systems (Elite? XL, Ascensia? Contour? and ABL 735) and the other in the central laboratory of the hospital with the hexokinase reference method. All three POCT systems tended to overestimate glycaemia values, and none of them fulfilled the ISO 15197 accuracy criteria. The Elite XL appeared to be more appropriate than Contour to detect hypoglycaemia, however with a low specificity. Contour additionally showed an important inaccuracy with increasing haematocrit. The bench analyzer ABL 735 was the most accurate of the three tested POCT systems. Both of the tested handheld glucometers have important drawbacks in their use as screening tools for hypoglycaemia in newborn infants. ABL 735 could be a valuable alternative, but the blood volume needed is more than 15 times higher than for handheld glucometers. Before daily use in the newborn population, careful clinical evaluation of each new POCT system for glucose measurement is of utmost importance.

This book examines the role of technical standards in the regulation of services at the international level. It brings together scholarship in international political economy, French regulation theory, and economic sociology in order to discuss the following questions: Which services are most likely to be internationalised and what actors are the most concerned by the phenomenon? What is the relationship between the internationalisation of services and their institutional environment? What is more particularly the role of technical standards in delivering and using services? The introductory chapter presents a comprehensive analysis of cutting edge research on these questions. It argues that technical standards shape new forms of collective action and transnational authority. The chapter suggests some hypotheses for a new research agenda.

International standardisation refers to voluntary technical specifications pertaining to the production and exchange of goods and services across borders. The paper outlines a theoretical framework which spells out the contention of emerging hybrid forms of non state authority in the global realm. It argues that international standardisation is confronted with a deep rift between promoters of further socialisation of international standards (i.e. a transfer of the universal scope of law into the official framework of standard-setting bodies) and multinational corporations in favour of globalisation of technical standards (i.e. universal recognition of minimal sectorial market-based standards). The problems related to the development of a possible ISO standard of system management in corporate social responsibility provides evidence of the argument.
