Droghe leggere e criminalità organizzata: una relazione problematica
2022
Il contributo analizza il tema dei rapporti tra trattamento penale delle droghe c.d. “leggere” e contrasto alla criminalità organizzata dedita al narcotraffico, con riguardo all’ordinamento europeo, internazionale e di alcuni Paesi dell’UE (Spagna, Portogallo, Grecia, Germania e Italia). Seguendo un approccio di tipo integrato, all’analisi del dato normativo si affianca la descrizione della fenomenologia dei traffici e la valutazione dei primi effetti che le riforme antiproibizioniste entrate in vigore in alcuni ordinamenti del Nord e del Sud America hanno prodotto sul fronte del mercato illecito. Il fine è di evidenziare i punti di forza e di debolezza dei modelli di depenalizzazione, tene…
Remarks on the environmental adaptation of man.
1971
In this paper the geographical variability of some morphological, physiological and serological traits of man is discussed with respect to the question, how far this variability can be considered as the result of selective adaptation processes. Though there is already some evidence supporting such an assumption, much more detailed and exactly planned research is necessary to clear the indubitable relations between the distribution patterns of anthropological traits and the various environmental conditions of human biotops. Particularly much more work is required to understand the causative mechanisms on which these relations are based.
Parenté et organisation sociale chez les Wayùu. Retour sur la question
2021
Dans cet article, l’auteur revient sur certaines questions concernant le domaine de la parenté et de l’organisation sociale des Wayùu de la péninsule de La Guajira, dans la zone frontalière du nord de la Colombie et du Venezuela.

Review of studies of polymorphic blood systems in the Aymara indigenous population from Bolivia, Peru, and Chile.
1995
A review was made of all studies available from the literature referring to polymorphic blood systems of South American Aymara Indians. 33 original papers published up to 1990 covering a period of 45 years were summarized. Aymara samples were considered from a total of 55 localities in Bolivia, Peru, and Chile. Gene frequencies were tabulated for 21 polymorphic genetic systems comprising blood groups (AB0, MNSs, P, Rh, Lu, K, Le, Fy, Jk, Di), erythrocyte enzyme groups (AcP, 6PGD, PGM1, AK, ADA, EsD), and plasma protein groups (Hp, Tf, Gc, Gm, Km). Weighted average and range over all Aymara samples were computed for each blood system and compared with corresponding mean value and range in So…
