Hydrocolloid-based bioplastics: Degradation in characterized soils.

Three different type of bioplastics were studied. They were made of amylose only, argan proteins only, while the third type contained both polymers at a 1:1 ratio. Their degradation was studied in three different type of soils fully characterized regarding their composition.

Synthetic indicators to analyze work-related physical and psychosocial risk factors: evidence from the European Working Conditions Survey.

In modern workplaces, alongside physical, chemical, and biological hazards, other risks are linked to the organisation of work and to the nature of the work itself. This paper investigates the association between workers' well-being and both psychosocial and physical risk factors at work proposing a synthetic measure suitable to generate insights on well-being at work and on individual risk factors. Exploiting data from the European Working Conditions Survey, we select as response variable the "self-assessed health".
