Comparing deep‐end confinement in England & Wales and Norway
2022
Extreme forms of custody represent the boundary points of state power. The configuration of the most restrictive corners of prison systems, and what goes on within them, is highly instructive in exposing the objectives, limits, and implications of state coercion at its most severe. Based on data collected in England & Wales and Norway, this article has two main aims. The first is to explore the degree to which “deep-end” confinement differs between jurisdictions with different penal philosophies. The second is to understand how the most extreme form of confinement in each jurisdiction differs from the more typical carceral experiences within each system and its overall penal ethos. Empirica…

Consulting of the XXI Century. Coping with Complex Business Systems
2011
The increase of the social and economic complexity causes frequent discontinuities and the rapid change of the business environment, triggering intense transformations of the competitive logics and of the capability of forecasting using traditional models. The new competitive reality is characterized by dynamism, connectivity, non–linearity and emergent properties, in other words by “complexity”. The XX century’s myth of the “one best way” reveals its weaknesses and its inability to deal with the new emerging problems and opportunities, which, at the beginning of the XXI century, fIrms have to face. The traditional reductionist concept of “one best way”, based on the “replication of standar…
Computational modeling of molecularly imprinted polymers as a green approach to the development of novel analytical sorbents
2018
Abstract The development of novel molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) sorbents for specific chemical compounds require a lot of tedious and time-consuming laboratory work. Significant quantities of solvents and reagents are consumed in the course of the verification of appropriate configurations of polymerization reagents. Implementation of molecular modeling in the MIP sorbent development process appears to provide a solution to this problem. Appropriate simulations and computations facilitate the determination of the nature of interaction between the reagents and thus the selection of the best configuration of chemicals for the preparation of the sorbent. The article presents literature …
AMBIENTE COSTRUITO E SOSTENIBILITÀ – Materiali riciclati e Design for Disassembly tra ricerca e buone pratiche
2020
In the context of environmental emergency of which the construction sector is one of the main causes – since it consumes 40% of the (embodied and operational) energy and produces about a third of the total waste – and due to the ambitious objectives set by the international community and by many countries to reduce the environmental impact of buildings during their whole life cycle, this paper wants to make a contribution to the understanding of the state of the art on cycle-based research activities, sustainable experiments and good practices that the building industry and the academy have implemented in recent years. In particular, it refers to cycle-based theoretical and experimental act…
Beni ed imprese dopo la confisca antimafia. Il ruolo delle regioni nella strategia di valorizzazione
2022
Il contributo è dedicato alla memoria di un Maestro della giuspubblicistica italiana, il prof. Valerio Onida, recentemente scomparso, sintesi della cultura delle grandi Isole italiane e del rigore ambrosiano, col quale ho avuto il privilegio di lavorare, dal quale ho avuto il l’onore di apprendere la passione per il diritto regionale e finanziario, del quale serbo un ricordo indelebile, nel quale ho trovato l’equilibrio tra il garbo e la forza del radicamento nei principi fondamentali.
The accreditation system of Italian medical residency programs: fostering quality and sustainability of the National Health Service
2020
Summary. Background and aim: In June 2017, University and Health Ministries jointly enacted a decree imple-menting a new accreditation system for the Italian post-graduate medical schools (residency programs). We report the innovations introduced through the reform. Methods: Universities were called to submit post-gradu-ate medical school projects to the National Observatory on medical residency programs, the inter-institutional committee responsible for the entire accreditation process, through an interactive web platform. The adherence to minimum standards, requirements and the performances were measured. After this first assessment, universities were asked to provide programs of improvem…
Il contratto di rete: una fattispecie dalle "maglie" troppo larghe?
2014
Il contratto di rete – introdotto nel nostro ordinamento giuridico dalla l. n. 33 del 2009 – si caratterizza per un’ampia flessibilità modulare e l’assenza di connotati tipizzanti ben definiti. L’articolo analizza i tratti più significativi di tale disciplina – peraltro a più riprese integrata e modificata –, mettendo in particolare evidenza l’eccessiva ampiezza della fattispecie contrattuale dalla stessa delineata, tale da determinare evidenti sovrapposizioni con i contratti associativi tipici già esistenti.
