Kryzys parlamentaryzmu a majowy zamach stanu w aspekcie bezpieczeństwa narodowego

2017

Demokracja parlamentarna nie jest typem ustroju, który może sprawnie i stabilnie funkcjonować bez solidnych podstaw ekonomicznych i społecznych, ugruntowanej i opartej na kompromisie tradycji uprawiania polityki oraz postaw obywatelskich pośród polityków i społeczeństwa. Porzucenie demokracji czyjej częściowe ograniczenie, aczkolwiek usprawiedliwione ideą racji stanu w celu wzmocnienia szeroko pojętego bezpieczeństwa narodowego, nie musi okazać się właściwym lekarstwem na problemy, z jakimi boryka się państwo. Kryzys parlamentaryzmu i przewrót majowy, zamykają okres, w którym sejm stanowił organ ostatecznie decydujący o składzie i istnieniu kolejnych rządów. Formalną zmianę we wzajemnym usy…

Digital Resilience to Normal Accidents in High-Reliability Organizations

2021

Digital technologies play a dual role on organizational resilience. On one side, digital systems introduce new technological risks. On the other side, digital systems increase the performances in response to hazardous accidents. Normal Accident Theory (NAT) and High-Reliability Organization (HRO) provide useful ground to explain the dynamics of digital resilience. However, the two theories have been either used as alternatives or with one theory dominating the other. We posit that to fully understand digital resilience we need to integrate NAT and HRO concepts instead of using them in isolation. We conduct a bibliometric analysis to identify major themes and application domains characterizi…

Volatility spillovers in the European bank CDS market

2015

From the 2007 subprime crisis to the recent Eurozone debt crisis,the banking industry has experienced terrible financial instabilitywith increasing volatility levels of bank default probability. UsingEuropean CDS spreads data from January 2006 to March 2013, thispaper sheds light on the impact of three recent significant events ofcredit risk volatility transmission between, firstly, Eurozone andnon-Eurozone banks, and then between distressed peripheral andcore countries inside the Eurozone. We employ an asymmetricmultivariate BEKK model to measure cross-market volatility spil-lovers. We find that both recent crises are distinct episodes. Theglobal financial crisis that originated outside Eu…

Concetto, profondità, superficie. Georg Simmel, Theodor W. Adorno e la crisi della modernità

2010

L’indagine filosofica e la sua trasmissione didattica, così come si realizzano nella relazione tra maestro ed allievo, permettono di interrogare ed evidenziare alcuni aspetti cogenti della stessa natura del concetto. In un’ottica adorniana il concetto coglie la realtà tramite la mediazione del linguaggio e la definizione di una terminologia; allo stesso tempo, un tale sforzo definitorio rischia di smarrire la relazione con l’obiettività nella reificazione linguistica. Emerge qui la natura paradossale del concetto, la sua coestensiva eccedenza e insufficienza nei confronti della «cosa». Seppur da prospettive differenti, Georg Simmel e Theodor W. Adorno colgono nella modernità, e nella sua co…

Carbonate deposition and diagenesis in evaporitic environments: The evaporative and sulphur-bearing limestones during the settlement of the Messinian…

2015

The depositional and diagenetic processes involved in the formation of carbonates in the evaporitic environment of the Messinian Salinity Crisis are investigated in Southern Italy (Sicily and Calabria). Strong differences are observed between the studied sections that reflect specific depositional and diagenetic evolution in the interconnected sub-basins resulting from the syn-sedimentary tectonic fragmentation of the Central Sicilian and Calabrian domains. These carbonates formed diachronously in restricted perched sub-basins between the Tripoli Formation and the hypersaline settings of the MSC. The Calcare di Base (CdB) that can be interbedded with gypsum layers occurs rhythmically at the…

Microbial-mediated pre-salt carbonate deposition during the Messinian salinity crisis (Calcare di Base fm., Southern Italy)

2017

Abstract A multi-scale analysis of sedimentary carbonate facies and post-sedimentary diagenetic features of the Calcare di Base Formation, the precursor to evaporites in Upper Messinian successions of Northern Calabria and Central Sicily, has revealed their microbial bio-mediated origin. Massive to laminated microbial boundstones represent the most common sedimentary facies forming flat to low relief cm to m scale stromatolitic and thrombolitic bodies. The fabric of the micrite varies from peloidal to aphanitic, and almost always preserves filamentous bacteria which characterized the original microbial mat. The mat was dominated by sulphur-oxidizing bacteria belonging to the Thiotrichaceae,…

The effects of the financial crisis on primary prevention of cancer

2010

The present financial crisis will affect primary cancer prevention through several avenues: personal lifestyle choices, exposure to environmental risk factors, decisions made in the private sector and public policy on cancer prevention. Whilst it is clearly problematic to reach solid conclusions on a direct connection between economic crises and cancer mortality, we can identify trends that provide guidance for further action. For some lifestyle choices such as smoking or diet, we argue that public policy may channel existing tendencies during times of crisis for clear added value. In other areas, including research and health system investments, we will make the case that the resources not…

Genomic Abnormalities Acquired in the Blastic Transformation of Splenic Marginal Zone B-cell Lymphoma

2003

Among 20 cases of typical splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL), two cases had blastic transformation. The genetic mechanisms underlying the morphologic transformation were investigated by comparing genetic changes in initial and blastic phases. A complex karyotype including trisomy of 3q and genomic gain of 17q22-q24 was seen in both cases at diagnosis. However, the extra copy of 3q was lost during the transformation process in both tumors. Additionally, the Karpas 1718 cell line, which was derived from a patient with transformed SMZL and carried a trisomy of 3q, also evidenced the spontaneous loss of the extra 3q during the culturing process. Other acquired abnormalities observed exclusiv…

Venezuela's humanitarian crisis, resurgence of vector-borne diseases, and implications for spillover in the region

2019

In the past 5–10 years, Venezuela has faced a severe economic crisis, precipitated by political instability and declining oil revenue. Public health provision has been affected particularly. In this Review, we assess the impact of Venezuela's health-care crisis on vector-borne diseases, and the spillover into neighbouring countries. Between 2000 and 2015, Venezuela witnessed a 359% increase in malaria cases, followed by a 71% increase in 2017 (411 586 cases) compared with 2016 (240 613). Neighbouring countries, such as Brazil, have reported an escalating trend of imported malaria cases from Venezuela, from 1538 in 2014 to 3129 in 2017. In Venezuela, active Chagas disease transmission has be…
