PESI - a taxonomic backbone for Europe
2015
Reliable taxonomy underpins communication in all of biology, not least nature conservation and sustainable use of ecosystem resources. The flexibility of taxonomic interpretations, however, presents a serious challenge for end-users of taxonomic concepts. Users need standardised and continuously harmonised taxonomic reference systems, as well as highquality and complete taxonomic data sets, but these are generally lacking for nonspecialists. The solution is in dynamic, expertly curated web-based taxonomic tools. The Pan-European Species-directories Infrastructure (PESI) worked to solve this key issue by providing a taxonomic e-infrastructure for Europe. It strengthened the relevant social (…
Nazioni senza frontiere. Daniel J. Elazar e l’etica del patto nella storia d’Europa
2020
Gli studi sul federalismo di Daniel J. Elazar sono noti soprattutto per la centralità lessicale ed ermeneutica attribuita al concetto di patto nei diversi ambiti culturali e istituzionali in cui prende forma il discorso politico.

Elazar explores federalism by highlighting the lexical and hermeneutic centrality of the concept of the covenant in the various cultural and institutional spheres. This essay focuses on his reconstruction of the historical and ideological steps of federalism in the European political …
Contre l'autonomie et la clôture du texte : formes et ambiguïtés de la fiction moderniste européenne : (1910-1939)
2014
Although it has been a key concept of literary criticism in the English-speaking world for more than a half-century, modernism remains a relatively misunderstood notion in France, owing to its proximity to somewhat close concepts such as modernity and avant-garde, which it only partially overlaps. The concept is relevant to experimentation in all literary genres, but this study focuses on the novel, with texts by James Joyce, André Gide, Ramón Gómez de la Serna and Virginia Woolf. Those have often been mischaracterized by literary critics as either mimetic novels — though more realistic than realist novels — or more frequently as emblematic of the self-referential text, as defined by the do…

Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive and its Impact on Malta’s Financial Service Industry
2016
The introduction of the Directive on Alternative Investment Fund Managers (AIFM Directive 2011/61/EU) in 2013 means a radical transformation of the EU regulatory landscape for the whole alternative investment fund industry.

The research is based on the case of Malta, which is a quickly growing financial centre. The main findings are based on an analysis of questionnaire respon…
Absorption of European Funds by Romania
2014
Abstract The European Union provides financial support to all Member States through structural instruments (Structural Funds) and the Fund for Agriculture. Nationally, each Member State has to set up operational programs (SOP) in accordance with European requirements to access the available money. In the current multiannual financial exercise there are 7 SOP, plus the agriculture program. The absorption level of European funds for the current financial period - 2007-2013 - is low for several reasons: lack of strategic vision for programming development, poor quality of projects, excessive bureaucracy, lack of optimization of financial flows etc. For the upcoming 2014-2020 financial programm…
Allium paniculatum L., una specie critica ed erroneamente interpretata della flora europea
2010
Dalle indagini morfologiche e cariologiche condotte è emerso che Allium paniculatum è una specie ben differenziata dagli altri taxa della sez. Codonoprasum, con corredo cromosomico poliploide, esaploide o triploide, probabilmente originatosi in seguito all’adattamento ad ambienti sinantropici in territori con bioclima marcatamente mesico, come si desume dalle esigenze ecologiche, dal periodo di fioritura estivo e dalla distribuzione geografica.
