The finger of Beelzebub. The consecration of judicial review of constitutionality in Portugal in 1911
2022
Without entirely breaking with the political review of constitutionality established in the 19th century, Portugal, which became a republic after the October 1910 revolution, decided to enshrine judicial review of constitutionality in its 1911 Constitution. The choice of the American model of diffuse review was intended to break with the main guarantee offered in the days of 'granted constitutionalism', when the moderating power of the King acted as guarantor of the Constitution alongside the political chambers. This was the aim of the promoter of this legal revolution, the law professor Afonso Costa, a strong man of the First Republic, who was able to convert his initially hostile republic…
Gas measurements from the Costa Rica–Nicaragua volcanic segment suggest possible along-arc variations in volcanic gas chemistry
2014
Obtaining accurate estimates of the CO2 output from arc volcanism requires a precise understanding of the potential along-arc variations in volcanic gas chemistry, and ultimately of the magmatic gas signature of each individual arc segment. In an attempt to more fully constrain the magmatic gas signature of the Central America Volcanic Arc (CAVA), we present here the results of a volcanic gas survey performed during March and April 2013 at five degassing volcanoes within the Costa Rica-Nicaragua volcanic segment (CNVS). Observations of the volcanic gas plume made with a multicomponent gas analyzer system (Multi-GAS) have allowed characterization of the CO2/SO2-ratio signature of the plumes …
Wellness Centres on Costa Crociere Cruises: Body, Space, and Representation from an Anthropological and Linguistic perspective
2016
Many tourist services are connected to the care of the body. The tourist industry proposes different vacation opportunities where the body is the main focus of the experience. This kind of tourism implies specific services that show a particular universe of representation and particular languages. In this context, cruise tourism is an interesting case to analyze because a part of its services gives a central role to the body which, on-board, organizes and is organized within dedicated spaces and times. Cruise ships provide spaces for the wellness of the passengers such as swimming pools, gyms, spas or beauty centres. The analysis proposed in this work is based, on one hand, on a recent anth…
Marine Discharges of Offshore Produced Water: the North-East Atlantic Management Strategy
2002
Este capítulo contiene un estudio de Derecho internacional del medio ambiente sobre las normas y estrategias para prevenir y eliminar la contaminación resultante de hidrocarburos y otras substancias causadas por las descargas de agua de producción costa afuera en el mar. Debemos tener en cuenta que no existe ni un solo tratado internacional de ámbito mundial relativo a la contaminación por descargas de hidrocarburos contenidas en las aguas de producción generadas en las instalaciones costa afuera. De hecho, sólo hay una región marina donde existen normas jurídicas y estrategias para hacer frente a este problema de contaminación. La región marina es el Atlántico nordeste y la norma en cuesti…
I governatori nelle regiones italiche tra Diocleziano e i Costantinidi
New molecular data attest to the absence of cospeciation patterns between Placobdella costata (Fr. Müller, 1846) (Hirudinea) and freshwater turtles (…
2021
The only Palearctic representative of the leech genus Placobdella Blanchard, 1893 is P. costata, an ectoparasite of freshwater turtles. To date, no conclusive evidence about the possible presence of coevolutionary patterns between this leech and its turtle hosts is available due to the paucity of DNA sequence data available for P. costata; moreover, comparative host data is also mostly lacking, making any inferences more difficult. The discovery of new populations of the species in northern Italy and Sicily allowed us to generate novel mitochondrial DNA sequences and to compare the topology of the resulting phylogenetic trees with the phylogeny of the turtle hosts occurring in the study are…

Il paesaggio costiero siciliano: rischi, trasformazione e sostenibilità
2017
La costa della Sicilia, come quella di tutta la penisola italiana e di gran parte del Mediterraneo, ha subito nei decenni profonde trasformazioni, oltre la distruzione di chilometri di spiaggia. Il consumo dei litorali, purtroppo, continuerà ad aumentare nei prossimi anni e, senza una programmazione pianificatoria adeguata, l’attuale patrimonio ambientale potrebbe compromettersi definitivamente. Inoltre, il degrado ambientale e lo stato di abbandono di numerosi spazi urbani lungo la fascia costiera hanno reso poco fruibile i lungomari, sia per gli abitanti che per i villeggianti, danneggiando pesantemente anche il settore dell'economia. In questo scenario, al fine di migliorare la gestione …
La costruzione del confine naturale. Il controllo sanitario della costa nella Sicilia di primo Ottocento
2015
Nel saggio si intende mettere a fuoco le modalità con cui la Suprema Generale Deputazione di Salute ha gestito il controllo sanitario della costa siciliana fra il 1816 e il 1830. Particolare attenzione è rivolta a un tentativo di riforma varato nel gennaio del 1816 e dunque ancora nella cornice istituzionale della costituzione del 1812. Si compie poi un’analisi del modo in cui il sistema di controllo sanitario è stato aggiornato alla luce dell’inglobamento dell’Isola nel Regno delle Due Sicilie e della conseguente riforma amministrativa, che variava moltissimo le modalità di trasmissione del controllo tra centro e periferia. Si mette in evidenza come predominasse l’idea di un controllo cent…
Inclusive Design for Alzheimer’s Disease: Low-cost Treatments, Design and ICT
2019
Inability to acquire new memories, difficulty to remember recent events and to recognize objects, places and people, visual-spatial disorientation, these are some of the disorders with which who is affected by neurological diseases must learn to live with. In a continuously evolving society, where the decreasing birth rate and the drops in mortality are consistent, the job of Architecture is precisely to interpret the requirements and needs of people who have lost the canonical relationship with the world and give them the possibility to recover it or maintain it through communication channels that use their remaining ability to understand. The indoors and outdoors acquire a “prosthesis fun…
