Danno da prodotto difettoso e responsabilità delle piattaforme di E-Commerce: uno sguardo oltreoceano
2022
L’articolo prende in esame due recenti decisioni della Court of Appeal della California circa la responsabilità delle piattaforme di e-commerce per prodotti difettosi alienati da venditori circa la responsabilità delle piattaforme di e-commerce per prodotti difettosi alienati da venditori terzi. Dopo aver ricostruito il case law californiano in materia di danno da prodotto ed il ruolo della tradizionale filiera distributiva nel migliorare la sicurezza dei prodotti, l’Autore passa all’esame delle pronunce della Court of Appeal rese nei casi Bolger v. Amazon.com del 2020 e Loomis v. Amazon.com del 2021. Secondo la Corte di secondo grado, le piattaforme di e-commerce sono destinatarie del regi…
Brazīlijas Federatīvās Republikas starptautisko pienākumu saturs attiecībā pret amazones baseina lietusmežu ugunsgrēku novēršanu
2020
Amazones baseina lietus mežs sedz ievērojamu Brazīlijas Federatīvās Republikas teritorijas daļu, un Brazīlijai ir saistoši vairāki starptautiska rakstura pienākumi saistībā ar cilvēktiesībām un vides aizsardzību ugunsgrēku novēršanā. 2019. gada vasarā Amazones lietus mežā izcēlās apjomīgs ugunsgrēks, kā pamatā ir vairāki iespējamie izcelšanās iemesli, piemēram, neilgtspējīga mežsaimniecība, neefektīvs nacionālais regulējums sankciju piemērošanā un ietekmes uz vidi novērtējuma īstenošanā, kā arī prettiesiska Amazones baseina mežu izciršana lauksaimniecības vajadzībām. Darba mērķis ir apzināt Brazīlijas starptautiskos vides tiesību un cilvēktiesību pienākumus un noskaidrot, vai cita valsts, k…
Transformation of the Forest-based Bioeconomy by Embracing Digital Solutions
2017
This paper attempts to explore a new insight to both industrialized and growing economies by demonstrating a digital-driven creative disruption in the forest-based bioeconomy which is beginning to replace its conventional and narrow concept of a forest-blinded economy. Notwithstanding the potential broad cross-sectoral benefits to both industrialized and growing economies, natural environments and locality constraints and the incessant challenge of distance have impeded balanced development of this economy. However, driven by digital solutions the economy has taken big steps forward in recent years. Digitalization has enabled real-time end-to-end supply chain visibility, improved delivery a…
Tieteelliset laskentasovellukset ja pilvipalvelut – erityistarkastelussa AWS
2014
Perinteisesti IT-resurssien hankinta on tapahtunut hankkimalla laitteistoa ja ohjelmistoja omaan tai organisaation omistukseen. Näiden resurssien käyttö on yleensä tarkoittanut merkittäviä investointeja laitteistoihin, ohjelmistoihin ja näiden ylläpitoon. Suuressa organisaatiossa kalliiden IT-resurssien käyttöönotto voi olla joissain tapauksissa hyvinkin byrokraattinen prosessi. Tieteellinen laskenta edellyttää usein erittäin suurta laskenta- ja tallennuskapasiteettia. Tutkijat hyötyisivät raskaaseen laskentaan vaadittavien IT-resurssien hankkimisesta palveluna, jolloin usein niukat resurssit voitaisiin keskittää vaadittavan laitteiston hankkimisen ja ylläpidon sijaan ydinongelman tutkimise…
Land surface temperature and evapotranspiration estimation in the Amazon evergreen forests using remote sensing data
2019
Amazonian tropical forests play a significant role in global water, carbon and energy cycles. Considering the relevance of this biome and the climate change projections which predict a hotter and drier climate for the region, the monitoring of the vegetation status of these forests becomes of significant importance. In this context, vegetation temperature and evapotranspiration (ET) can be considered as key variables. Vegetation temperature is directly linked with plant physiology. In addition, some studies have shown the existing relationship between this variable and the CO2 absorption capacity and biomass loss of these forests. Evapotranspiration resulting from the combined processes of …
Co-Evolutionary Coupling Between Captured and Uncaptured GDP Cycles : Cross Learning from Amazon and Finland Models for Sustainability
2019
A solution to the critical problem of a dilemma between R&D expansion and productivity decline that a majority of information and communication technology (ICT) leaders have been confronting in the digital economy is expected. It can be expected by a spinoff from economic functionality-seeking GDP-based coevolution cycle to supra-functionality beyond an economic value-seeking uncaptured GDP-driven coevolution cycle. However, the transformation dynamism remains a black box. By means of numerical simulations based on empirical analyses of the development trajectories of global ICT leaders, focusing on Amazon and Finland, together with an intensive review of preceding analyses, this paper atte…
Áreas protegidas e urbanização : o caso da APA da ilha do Combú, Belém-PA
2020
The paper seeks to answer two questions: what is the influence of the geographical location of the island of Combú in the metropolitan area of Belém, PA, and whether its current status as an Area of Environmental Protection (APA) has any impact on biodiversity and socioeconomic development? Similar to other riverside areas in the Amazon, Combú has a long history of involvement in the trade of extractive products. However, its geographical proximity to Belém and consequent access to markets made producers less dependent on intermediaries, while the ownership of resources was based on independent family units. Therefore, the dominant mode of caboclo extractivism, together with limited access …
