“…From a methodological point of view, territorial life cycle methodology (Loiseau et al, 2018) is an alternative proposed by some authors in Italy to contribute to the achievement of a more consistent environmental assessment. Additionally, integration with different tools is suggested by other researchers: material flows (Daria et al, 2013), exergetic LCA (Talens Peiró et al, 2010), energy sustainability index (Lombardelli et al, 2017), policies incorporation (Sala et al, 2012), material and energy recovery strategies (Biganzoli et al, 2015) and CE (Carlini et al, 2019). The advantages and limitations of different strategies and boundaries may be outlined in future studies.…”

Life cycle assessment (LCA) and related tools are commonly used to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of waste treatment scenarios. This manuscript presents a mini-review of studies published over the last 10 years in Italy and aims to investigate how life cycle thinking tools are applied to assess the environmental sustainability of local-level waste policies. Results reveal that different waste flows, technologies and policies have been investigated independently and in varying detail. Review suggests that boundary selection significantly affects LCA results; integration of different waste systems is therefore crucial to avoid spatial or temporal shifts of environmental impacts. Moreover, the description of methodological characteristics, limitations and transversal aspects of Italian waste management studies allows various stakeholders to assess the reliability of past and future research for waste policy planning and rebound effects prevention. This review also highlights the need to define minimum requirements of transparency and ease of reporting of the studies to private and public stakeholders. Finally, the paper investigates whether using both the organisational LCA and the life cycle sustainability approach for the overall waste management process may be useful to develop a standard method to address multi-functionalities and multiple sites.

“…Ceramic public art has various high-quality features such as environmental protection, flexibility, and sustainability, which can enhance the public's naturerelatedness. It restores the emotional resources the public has depleted in daily life, enhances mental resilience, shapes positive environmental protection attitudes, promotes social interaction and integration, and cultivates a good sense of place, belonging, identity [7][8][9]. This study is based on the theory of Kansei Engineering and Quantization-I to explore the relationship between the dimensions of ceramic public art design and public demand.…”

In the post-pandemic period, "quarantine" reduces the nature-relatedness of the public, a social problem that urgently needs to be solved globally. Related researchers point out that the public is more connected to nature and healthier physically and mentally. However, few studies have investigated the mediators that enhance nature-relatedness. From the perspective of innovation and sustainable development of public art, this study explores the specific schemes of ceramic public art to enhance nature-relatedness. From the design dimension of ceramic public art, it is found that modelling, composition, decoration and spatial language are indispensable factors in enhancing nature-relatedness, and we are committed to finding specific design solutions. A mathematical model correlation library between design dimensions and perceptual intentions is constructed through Kansei Engineering and Quantization-I theory. The results show that public art with "close" and "functional" perceptual intentions greatly enhances nature-relatedness. The corresponding design categories are: "rotary and curved", "momentum and visual conflict", "painted decoration", "glaze decoration", "organize space". In terms of sustainable design strategies, this study proposes that public art should combine environmental, aesthetic, and social value for innovative design. The research results can help managers of urban ecological planning and planners of public art effectively identify the relevant elements of public art to enhance nature-relatedness. We should also increase the public's current needs analysis, combining sustainable design with the post-epidemic period to make a theoretical contribution to global propositions.

“…The fundamental parameter is the calculation of the right suction flow for the disposal from the surrounding environment, of the main cooking fumes pollutants, in order to avoid the spread of contaminants inside the housing structure [6]- [9]. Proper design finds the right compromise between the aspirated flow rate that allows the disposal of all pollutants and the higher energy efficiency [10], [11], always in accordance with EU directives [12]. In fact, the world is moving to sustainable principles by means of known technologies optimization, such as for the building sector [13], [14], for the photovoltaic system [15], [16], for the biological conversion [17]- [19] using different input biomasses [20]- [22] and for the geothermal field [23], [24].…”

This work focuses on the feasibility study of a new suction hood model that allows the complete disposal of the fumes produced during cooking. The originality of this study lies in the conception of a new functional geometry meant to reduce consumption, focusing on the increase of both efficiency and aspiration efficiency. The new technology is based on the Coandă effect applied on two innovative air capture systems of hood model. On one hand the air flow amplifier, a system that, starting from a low inlet flow rate, allows 10 times increasing of the output flow rate. On the other hand, the bladeless fan, which is usually implemented in newest bladeless ventilation systems. A simulation campaign has been conducted with COMSOL Multiphysics software to validate the simulation scenarios comparing the experimental results with respective references. For the post-validation step, the parametric sweep function has been used to study the system behaviours to every change of velocity, flow rate and extension of the ejector. The obtained results show the feasibility of these new suction systems, which present lower consumptions than other modern ventilation systems for kitchens. The computed results show that the perimeter velocity is in accordance with European standards. The perimeter velocity for air flow amplifier geometry allows a suction capacity range between 460 m 3 /h and 3600 m 3 /h. In the bladeless fan case, the suction capacity is in a range between 325 m 3 /h and 2500 m 3 /h. Therefore, the two geometries can be installed for both domestic and commercial kitchens.
