El análisis marxista de las necesidades sociales
2018
The disappearance of the so-called «real socialism» has concealed the validity of the Marxist analysis of social reality. One of the sets of hypotheses that has best maintained its heuristic capacity is the Marxist theory of needs. The Marxist hypotheses have been developed in debate with other conventional conceptions. Currently, feminism and the ecological analysis of needs are renewing the views of Heller and Habermas.
Mafia, legalità debole e sviluppo del Mezzogiorno
2005
Fra gli ostacoli che impediscono lo sviluppo del Mezzogiorno la presenza endemica delle organizzazioni criminali di stampo mafioso è uno dei più rilevanti. La mafia, che viene qui vista come un'organizzazione professionale, si è peraltro trasformata, anche sotto l'incalzare delle politiche antimafia. Paradossalmente, tuttavia, l'efficacia di tali politiche è stata spesso sottovalutata, generando così l'erronea sensazione che la mafia sia pressoché invincibile. Per altro verso, la mobilitazione della cittadinanza avutasi negli anni novanta è stata forte e visibile, ma il presunto risveglio della società civile è stato effimero, anche perché legato alle strategie di singoli imprenditori polit…
La cassazione torna sul tema della tutelabilità del marchio debole e della sua interferenza con il fenomeno del c.d. 'secondary meaning'
2015
Lo scritto si sofferma: i) sull'ambito di tutela dei c.d. “marchi deboli”, ii) sui criteri di accertamento della confondibilità dei segni distintivi (ossia il c.d. giudizio di confondibilità) e iii) sul percorso giuridico di rafforzamento di un marchio originariamente debole grazie al suo utilizzo imprenditoriale costante sul mercato da parte del suo titolare, accompagnato da una massiccia campagna promozionale.
When Fiscal Consolidation Meets Private Deleveraging
2016
We analyze the interaction between fiscal consolidation and private-sector deleveraging in an economy within a monetary union. Pre-existing long term collateralized private debt – a core ingredient of the deleveraging process – plays a critical role in shaping fiscal multipliers. By buffering the short-run fall in debtors’ spending capacity, long-run private debt reduces the short-run multipliers of aggressive (large and/or fast) consolidations. However, absent credibility concerns, aggressive consolidations raise the intensity and length of private deleveraging, causing higher output losses over the medium run. In terms of discounted output losses and welfare, this latter effect dominates,…
Contingent Convertible Bonds for Sovereign Debt Risk Management
2018
Abstract We consider convertible bonds that contractually stipulate payment standstill, contingent on a market indicator of a sovereign’s credit worthiness breaching a distress threshold. This financial innovation limits ex ante the likelihood of debt crises and imposes ex post risk sharing between creditors and the debtor. Drawing from literature on contingent contracts, neglected risks, and bank CoCo, we extend prevailing arguments in favor of sovereign CoCo (S-CoCo). We discuss issues relating to their design: which market trigger, market discipline and sovereign incentives, and errors of false alarms or missed crises, and provide supporting evidence with eurozone data and a simple simul…
Granulocyte Activity Is Enhanced by Culture Supernatants of Mononuclear Leukocytes Incubated with Tetrachlorodecaoxide
1995
Granulocytes (polymorphonuclear leukocytes, PMNs) and monocytes/ macrophages are important in wound healing. Within the first few hours PMNs and monocytes begin to infiltrate sites of injury. The major function of PMNs is to kill microbes and phagocytose cellular debris so that healing can proceed [1]. Monocytes/macrophages invading the wound are also active in phagocytosis. In addition they release a number of cytokines including growth factors, interleukin-8 (IL-8), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) needed for new tissue formation and shown to stimulate PMNs [1–3].
Oral myiasis in mentally challenged patient: a case report
2011
Myiasis is the infestation of live human and vertebrate animal with Dipterous larvae which feed on host’s dead or living tissue. This condition is a result of neglected approach towards oral hygiene along with mental and physical challenges of patient. A case of oral myiasis in the maxillary anterior region in an 18 years old female with neurologic defi-cit caused by the larvae (maggots) is reported. The management consists of manual removal of larvae by topical application of turpentine oil, oral therapy with Ivermectin and surgical debridement of oral wound.
Self-reported sleep duration and cognitive functioning in the general population
2009
This study investigated the relationship between self-reported sleep factors (sleep duration, insomnia, use of sleeping medicine, probable sleep apnoea and feelings of fatigue and tiredness) with cognitive functioning in 5177 people aged 30 years or older from a cross-sectional representative sample of the adult population in Finland (The Finnish Health 2000 Survey). Previous studies have indicated a U-shaped association between increased health risks and sleep duration; we hypothesized a U-shaped association between sleep duration and cognitive functioning. Objective cognitive functioning was assessed with tasks derived from the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease te…
El debat pro i antifeminista a la literatura catalana medieval
1987
This 1987 PhD dissertation, was de facto supervised by professors Lola Badia (Universitat de Barcelona) and Alan Deyermond (Queen Mary University of London), although, because of legal limitations at that time, supervision was officially signed by another professor). This was a pioneer work in the field of women’s studies, particularly in the so-called “querelle des femmes”, although, as the dissertation study specifies, this label would only become known as such in post-medieval times. This work, then, does not deal with all misogynistic references in the whole corpus of medieval Catalan literature (that would be quite impossible in one publication), but only with those texts arguing for o…
