The Healthcare field is a sector that has significantly evolved more than anything else, especially from the points of view of technological and clinical innovation. The Design discipline has also been measured with a radical change that has reconfigured the founding paradigms, opening itself up to other fields of knowledge and activating virtuous cooperation that led to innovative research and practices.

This paper describes the SemEval 2018 Shared Task on Hypernym Discovery. We put
forward this task as a complementary benchmark for modeling hypernymy, a problem which
has traditionally been cast as a binary classification task, taking a pair of candidate words as
input. Instead, our reformulated task is defined as follows: given an input term, retrieve (or
discover) its suitable hypernyms from a target corpus. We proposed five different subtasks
covering three languages (English, Spanish, and Italian), and two specific domains of

Campanula versicolor is a constituent of the Campanula pyramidalis complex, distributed in the central and southern Balkan Peninsula with a small disjunct range in SE Italy. The taxonomy of the broadly defined C. versicolor was controversial in the past due to high morphological variability of the populations across the range. We used microsatellite DNA data along with morphometric analyses on an extensive population sampling covering the entire range to reconstruct the relationships among populations of the intricate C. versicolor s.l.

Species identification within the species complex
of Q. pubescens is a well-known taxonomic challenge
among European botanists. Some of the specific
pubescent oak binomials currently accepted in various
European floras and checklistswere originally described
in Sicily and southern Calabria. As a consequence,
several species belonging to the pubescent oaks group
(Q. pubescens, Q. amplifolia, Q. congesta,
Q. dalechampii, Q. leptobalana and Q. virgiliana) are
reported in the taxonomic and phytosociological literature.

Edraianthus (Candolle 1830: 130) Candolle (1839: 149) (Campanulaceae Juss.) is a genus of 10–14 species with a centre of
distribution in the Balkans, while disjunctions occur in the central and southern Apennines (peninsular Italy), Sicily, and the
southern Carpathians (Stefanović et al. 2008).
Four species complexes were recognized by Stefanović et al. (2008) and Surina et al. (2009), i.e. “E. tenuifoliuscomplex”,
“E. pumilio-complex”, “E. serpyllifolius-complex”, and “E. graminifolius-complex”. The same authors (Stefanović

Quercus pubescens s.l. is a group of taxonomically intricate and highly debated deciduous white oaks
widely distributed in southern Europe. The Apulia region occupies the south-easternmost part of the Italian Peninsula;
the land-use pattern is based on extensive agricultural systems and only 10% is covered by forests that are
mainly composed of oak woods. It is the region in Italy showing the highest number of oak species, among which
four putative species of the Quercus pubescens group, have been reported in floras and checklists with uncertain

During the last two decades, the literature devoted great attention to industrial symbiosis (IS) as an effective strategy to achieve environmental, economic, and social benefits. Accordingly, a wide range of numerical indicators – highly different among them for scope, definition, purpose, and applications – have been developed, to characterize and measure IS. The paper proposes a taxonomy of these indicators with the aim of facilitating their adoption and proper usage in practice.

Five new species of the genus Lamiogethes Audisio & Cline are described from western, central and southern China: L.
falcatus sp. n. (Sichuan), L. hastipenis sp. n. (Hubei), L. sagittalis sp. n. (Shaanxi), L. unditibiis sp. n. (Chongqing), and
L. limaelytralis sp. n. (Sichuan). The first four new species appear to be morphologically related to Lamiogethes ancestor
(Kirejtshuk, 1980) (comb. n.) from Central China, and allied taxa. Lamiogethes limaelytralis sp. n. appears to be more

The genus Meligethinus Grouvelle, 1906 represents a small group of pollen beetles, including some twenty species
distributed from southern Palaearctic areas to northern Oriental and Afrotropical regions. All constituent species appear to
be strictly associated as larvae and adults to male inflorescences of palms (Monocots: Arecaceae). Two new species of this
genus (Meligethinus mondlanei sp. nov. and M. hamerlae sp. nov.) were recently discovered in southern Mozambique,

A key to the world genera and a checklist of the world species for the family Polleniidae, including distributions, are provided. The following taxonomic and nomenclatural changes are proposed: Nitellia
hermoniella Lehrer, 2007 = Pollenia mediterranea Grunin, 1966, syn. nov., Pollenia bentalia Lehrer, 2007 = Pollenia semicinerea Villeneuve, 1911, syn. nov., Dasypoda angustifrons Jacentkovský, 1941 =
