Per una filosofia del diritto positivo alternativa al giuspositivismo
2022
The article discusses Francesco Viola’s new book, considered as a philosophy of positive law alternative to legal positivism. The starting point is the classification of his approach as characterized by the thesis of an interpretive connection of law and morals, evident in his itinerary through the three revivals of Natural law in the last century. This kind of connection – possibly shared both by many Natural theories and positivistic positions – leads coherently to the thesis of the conceptual connection, in which justice plays an important role in the con- cept of law. Finally, it is proposed a comment on his important distinction of epistemological, ontological and ideal approaches to t…
A new framework for the time- and frequency-domain assessment of high-order interactions in networks of random processes
2022
While the standard network description of complex systems is based on quantifying the link between pairs of system units, higher-order interactions (HOIs) involving three or more units often play a major role in governing the collective network behavior. This work introduces a new approach to quantify pairwise and HOIs for multivariate rhythmic processes interacting across multiple time scales. We define the so-called O-information rate (OIR) as a new metric to assess HOIs for multivariate time series, and present a framework to decompose the OIR into measures quantifying Granger-causal and instantaneous influences, as well as to expand all measures in the frequency domain. The framework ex…
Tra patti dotali e spese di viaggio: a proposito dell’actio utilis in factum di Pap. 4 resp. D. 23.4.26.3
2022
This study deals with Pap. 4 resp. D. 23.4.26.3, interesting text of Papinian in which an actio utilis in factum is granted against the husband who, in violation of what was agreed, had not reimbursed his wife for the travel expenses incurred to reach him. The author excludes it was a contractual action (a. praescriptis verbis, a.c.i.), believing rather that it was an a. de dolo in factum, in application of the principle that prohibited the exercise of infaming actions between spouses (C. 5.12.1.2; Ulp. 11 ad ed. D. 4.3.11.1).
Le «Facezie» di Poggio nel teatro spagnolo del “Siglo de oro”
2022
Un capitolo della fortuna europea del «Liber facetiarum» di Poggio Bracciolini riguarda le rielaborazioni e le riscritture di alcune di esse nelle commedie spagnole del secolo XVII (il cosiddetto “Siglo de oro”). In questo studio, dopo una preliminare ricognizione bibliografica sull’attuale status della ricerca sul «Liber facetiarum», vengono analizzati i modi di riscrittura di tre racconti del Bracciolini (fac. 157, 172, 203) in tre scene di commedie spagnole del XVII secolo, «La dama boba» ed «El perro del hortelano» di Lope de Vega e «Don Gil de las calzas verdes» di Tirso de Molina. A chapter of the European fortune of Poggio Bracciolini’s «Liber facetiarum» concerns the re-elaborations…
Il corpo delle regine
2022
La medievistica più recente, sulla scia di nuove questioni volte a indagare la condizione reginale da prospettive diverse e originali, ha tracciato un profilo sempre più sfaccettato delle regine. In questo saggio ci proponiamo di guardare alla dimensione più esterna, materiale, e al contempo più intima, il corpo, che ha una sua storia e fa parte della storia, la costituisce non diversamente dalle strutture sociali, economiche, e dalle rappresentazioni mentali. Il corpo di una regina associa a un corpo reale, fisico, fatto di bellezza, fecondità, cure e pratiche di mantenimento della salute, di sterilità e malattia, un corpo immaginario fissato al momento della morte nel gisant che ne traman…
Use of chemical treatments to reduce browning color of white fresh-cut peaches, harvested in summer and late crop
2022
Fresh-cut white peach is very perishable and discoloration or browning are the main factors affecting consumer acceptability loss. Color and appearance attract the consumer to a product and can help in impulse purchase. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of two different edible coatings formulations in preserving freshcut fruit of the early ripening ‘Murtiddara’ and the late ripening ‘Settembrina’ peach landraces, belonging to the ‘Pesca di Bivona’ varietal population. Fruit sampled at commercial harvest stage, after cutting and dipping in different solutions with ascorbate calcium (ASC) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) were stored for 3, 5, 7 and 12 days at 5°C and…
HISTORIC CITIES AND INNER AREAS IN SICILY The point of view of the Restoration
2022
The discipline of restoration has long established a cultural background on the subject of historic cities as a heritage area to be safeguarded, beginning with the Amsterdam Declaration (1975), which introduced the fundamental concept of «integrated conservation». The purpose of this contribution is to emphasize the importance of raising an awareness and care for heritage as a community identity card and not just a reason for tourist offer. The territory and cultural heritage thus become a pedagogical challenge in defining a model of heritage enjoyment, for the promotion of local contexts and in the constitution of learning communities in which restoration likewise participates.
Dominating taxonomic composition of the early life gut microbiota and influencing factors in infants up to seven months of age in Latvia
2022
Abstract It has been hypothesised that the establishment of stable adult microbiota is programmed in infancy, and therefore early life gut colonisation may lead to a lifelong microbiota pattern with significant effects on health. The aim of the study was to analyse the composition of gut microbiota and influencing factors in infants up to seven months of age in Latvia. A cross-sectional study was performed at primary healthcare centres. The parents of healthy infants filled out a questionnaire and brought the child’s faecal sample. 16 rRNS gene sequencing was performed to identify the bacterial taxonomic units. The composition of gut microbiota was compared between children with different r…

AMMINISTRAZIONE PUBBLICA E SISTEMI DI INTELLIGENZA ARTIFICIALE: ALCUNE RIFLESSIONI
2022
This paper aims to examine how public administrations tend to use artificial intelligence systems, in the light of the legal framework and jurisprudential developments. Taking the cue from a distinction between the cases in which the aforementioned systems support the administrative decision and those in which they tend to replace the ‘human decider’ it intends to point out the utility of a distinction between administration for measures and performance administration, for the purposes of allocating responsibilities for eventually produced damage
The Institution of Security Agent: A Comparative Study of Polish and French Laws
2022
In many continental legal systems it was often problematic to grant a security right to an entity separate from the holder(s) of the secured receivables. Such arrangement was especially desired by the parties in complex lending structures with many creditors. To solve this problem various legal solutions have been created in different countries. In Poland and in France the special institution of a security agent has been introduced. Aim of this article is to compare those two regulations. The conclusion is that the French provisions better deals with the challenges posed by the entity separation problem. Security agent, collective security arrangements, entity separation, unity principle, s…

The Child Neglect Assessment technique (C.N.A.). A path of the S.I.P.Ped
2022
Lo studio presenta il percorso di validazione di una specifica tecnica di assessment del child neglect rivolta a genitori di bambini di età compresa tra 3 e 9 anni, e che risulta articolata in due specifici strumenti di osservazione. Questa tecnica si fonda su uno specifico modello teorico-operativo costruito in riferimento alla prospettiva della Psicologia pediatrica, che identifica la causa del child neglect nella presenza di una disregolazione della competenza genitoriale, e quindi, nella gestione delle funzioni genitoriali di caregiving, scaffolding e coping. La tecnica presenta un particolare punto di forza: la capacità di intercettare i segnali di una possibile condizione di child neg…
Boccaccio, «Ninfale fiesolano» 309, 5-8: per la storia di un tópos fra tradizione classica e suggestioni medievali
2022
Questa nota, alla luce della lettura e dell’interpretazione di un passo del «Ninfale fiesolano» del Boccaccio (309, 5-8), ripercorre la fortuna del motivo della “reciprocità” amorosa e, in particolare, dell’intimo rapporto che fa sì che “due” giovani innamorati, legati da affinità di costumi, età, bellezza, siano come “una” sola persona. Un motivo molto antico, questo, che affonda le sue radici nella tradizione biblica e nella letteratura classica, e che conoscerà ampia fortuna nel Medioevo latino e volgare. Fra i testi che vengono proposti e analizzati si segnalano, soprattutto, le «Metamorfosi» di Ovidio, l’«Ero e Leandro» di Museo, il «Narcissus», il «Pamphilus», l’«Alda» di Guglielmo di…
Dissolution of nitrones in alkylphosphates: A structural study
2022
Nitrones are chemical compounds with well-established anti-oxidant and spin-trapping properties. Their low solubility in water for many of them limits their applications, so opportune solvents must be found. In this study, two recently synthetized oxindole nitrones with proven antiproliferative and antioxidant activity have been dissolved in several liquid amphiphiles, chosen as model solvents. The effect of the polar head nature and the alkyl chain length/type have been investigated by a combined experimental (solubility, UV–vis spectroscopy) / computational (molecular dynamics) approach. The different chemical structures of the various solvents offer different chemical environments to the…
Máscaras de Sicilia. Fotografías de Attilio Russo y Giuseppe Muccio
2022
I mascheramenti, al pari degli altri simboli rituali caratterizzanti le celebrazioni carnascialesche siciliane, paiono tutti riconducibili alla sintassi propria delle feste di chiusura e apertura di un ciclo ossia di rifondazione ciclica del tempo, e finiscono con il proporre l’istituto carnevalesco, nel suo complesso, come “modello esemplare” delle cerimonie di Capodanno. Una festa cioè che attraverso parole, immagini, gesti riesce a restituire la realtà attraverso la ricostituzione per simulazione del cerchio del tempo, cioè a garantire che il tempo continui ad esserci, simulandone e ripetendone la morte e la rinascita. Las mascaradas, al igual que los demás símbolos rituales que caracter…

Hydraulic Habitat Structure Impacts Risk of Trematode Infection
2022
Abstract— Variability in infection rates of trematodes Diplostomum pseudospathaceum in 0+ rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss under different hydraulic regimes was studied in the experimental setup with regulated flow rates and environmental heterogeneity. The average infection rate in the conditions of the current was 1.5 times less than that in the stagnant water. An increase of the flow rate from 3.2 to 11.3 cm/s did not result in lower infection rates, while the interindividual variability in the infection rate (coefficient of variation) tended to increase along with changing the still-water conditions (20%) to the high flow rate environments (40%) within the experiment. A decrease in th…

Forecasting energy output of a solar power plant in curtailment condition based on LSTM using P/GHI coefficient and validation in training process, a…
2022
This study presents how to improve the short-term forecast of photovoltaic plant's output power by applying the Long Short-Term Memory, LSTM, neural networks for industrial-scale solar power plants in Vietnam under possible curtailment operation. Since the actual output power does not correspond to the available power, new techniques (Global Horizontal Irradiance - GHI interval division, P/GHI factor addition (P - Power)) have been designed and applied for processing errors and missing data. The prediction model (LSTM network, structure of hidden layers, number of nodes) has been developed by the authors in a previous work. In this new version of the model, the training technique is improve…

The research questions focus on (1) the relationship between students’ performance on the two tests and their gender, language of schooling and parents’ educational level, and (2) the relationship between the students’ receptive language proficiency at the e…
Fat Talk in College Women
2022
This study placed the phenomenon of college women’s fat talk within response styles theory. We predicted that with increasing trait body dissatisfaction there would be an increase in rumination leading to a greater frequency of fat talk. We also predicted that neuroticism would moderate this mediation pathway, and that these effects would occur over and above body size. A survey was conducted on a convenience sample of 212 college women with a mean age of 22.04 years ( SDage = 2.61). A bootstrap analysis utilizing PROCESS software supported the predicted moderated-mediation model. Thus, those college women higher in both trait body dissatisfaction and neuroticism would experience greater r…

Qualità della vita, benessere e salute: significati e metafore conoscitive della vita
2022
Over the last few years, terms such as health, subjective well-being, happiness, and quality of life have gained increasing attention both within and outside the scientific debate, sometimes even entering general speaking. It is probably due to the figure of Achille Ardigò (1988, 1997), the founder of the sociology of health in Italy, that we observe such interest in these topics. Recently, the relationship between health and society has developed under the sign of heterogeneity, drawing reflections on the quality of life (Maturo, 2009), the role of medicine (Giarelli and Vignera, 2004; Cipolla, 2004), the healthcare systems (Corposanto, 2007; Giarelli, 2005) and also on the perceived happi…
