The Social Report (SR) is a form of measurement and reporting, transparency, and communication, essential for sharing decisions, activities, and the value an institution generates with stakeholders from a social responsibility perspective. It is a useful tool for screening programmes to understand their objectives and structure, assess their effectiveness, and promote informed participation by citizens and stakeholders.This contribution explores the implementation of the SR in oncological screening programmes - a project conducted in the CCM 2019 Programme 'Guidelines for Social Reporting of Screening Programmes', coordinated by the Institute for Cancer Research, Prevention and Clinical Network (ISPRO) in Tuscany Region in collaboration with the Centre for Oncological Screenings of Reggio Emilia (Emilia-Romagna Region) and the Population Screening Programmes Service of ATS Valpadana (Lombardy Region) - conducted between 2020 and 2022.

An artificial neural network (ANN) using the Levenberg-Marquardt back-propagation (LMA) training algorithm is constructed to compare the effectiveness of Tetracycline removal from aqueous solution using the sorption technique with prepared adsorbent. Several characterization analyses XRD, FT-IR, and SEM are employed for prepared Brownmillerite (CaFeO)-Na alginate beads.

The main cause is a malfunction of ciliary processes (protrusions of the ciliary bodies) resulting in increased intraocular pressure (IOP). Ocular hypertension (OHT) causes ischemic events leading to retinal ganglion cell (RGC) depletion and blindness.
