Il diritto europeo e la «giustizia contrattuale»
2015
The essay deals with the issue of « contractual justice » in light of European private law. The author reports the extreme variety of problems brought under the formula « contractual justice » and tries to propose a definition of the notion, restricting it to the legal institutions that allow for judicial review of the contractual relationship, in view of its rebalancing. The most intricate issue concerns the conditions under which these forms of intervention, moreover very heterogeneous, can be accomplished. The paper analyzes the main opinions that range from the concepts of procedural justice to that of substantive justice, proposing a reading that goes beyond the procedural conceptions.
The Perpetrator's mise-en-scene: Language, Body, and Memory in the Cambodian Genocide
2018
Rithy Panh's film S-21. The Khmer Rouge Killing Machine (2003) was the result of a three-year shooting period in the Khmer Rouge centre of torture where perpetrators and victims exchanged experiences and re-enacted scenes from the past under the gaze of the filmmaker's camera. Yet, a crucial testimony was missing in that puzzle: the voice of the prison's director, Kaing Guek Eav, comrade Duch. When the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) were finally established in Phnom Penh to judge the master criminals of Democratic Kampuchea, the first to be indicted was this desk criminal. The film Duch, Master of the Forges of Hell (R. Panh, 2011) deploys a new confrontation – an a…
Mancato contro-esame dei testimoni a carico e iniquità del processo penale
2022
This is a note to the judgment in the case Faysal Pamuk v. Turkey (application no. 430/13), rendered by the European Court of Human Rights. The contribution explores the violation of Article 6 §§ 1 (right to a fair trial) and 3 (d) (right to obtain attendance and examination of witnesses) of the European Convention on Human Rights. The case concerned Mr Pamuk’s trial on terrorism-related charges, in particular the use of evidence that had been given in other jurisdictions in the absence of Mr Pamuk or his counsel following letters of request. The Court found in particular that letters of request and examining witnesses in other jurisdictions could not be considered an adequate method of ens…
Identification of Potential Locations for Run-of-River Hydropower Plants Using a GIS-Based Procedure
2019
The increasing demand for renewable and sustainable energy sources has encouraged the development of small run-of-river plants. Preliminary studies are required to assess the technical and economic feasibility of such plants. In this context, the identification of optimal potential run-of-river sites has become a key issue. In this paper, an approach that is based on GIS tools coupled with a hydrological model has been applied to detect potential locations for a run-of-river plant. A great number of locations has been analyzed to identify those that could assure the achievement of different thresholds of potential power. The environmental and economic feasibility for small hydropower projec…
Stochastic linearization critically re-examined
1997
Abstract The stochastic linearization technique, widely used for the analysis of nonlinear dynamic systems subjected to random excitations, is revisited. It is shown that the standard procedure universally adopted for determining the so-called effective stiffness of the equivalent linear system is erroneous in all previous publications. Two error-free stochastic linearization techniques are elucidated, namely those based on (1) the force linearization and (2) energy linearization.
La configuración del derecho de asilo en la Unión Europea a la luz renovadora del derecho a no sufrir tortura o tratos inhumanos y degradantes
2018
The Chapter analyzes the EU Court of Justice case law on Aliens' Protection Regimes in light of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and of the European Convention of Human Rights focusing on: a) the impact of non refoulement and protection from risk of torture and inhuman or degrading treatments principles; b) procedural safeguards of right to seek "asylum" on the implementation of EU "Dublin regulation". Both aspects are taken into exam in the perspective of identifying common EU standards of protection of fundamental rights of the persons in the process of judicial implementation of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights lead by the European Union Court of Justice (expecially after the ent…
Quantitative Coronary Angiography and Digital Densitometric Perfusion Measurements?How to Assess the Success of Intracoronary Balloon Dilatation
1988
Densitometric evaluation of digital subtraction angiocardiograms allows the assessment of local myocardial perfusion before and after pharmacological stimulation of coronary flow reserve during the catheterization procedure. This report deals with a case of a severe stenosis of the left coronary artery in which PTCA was regarded successful based on an appropriate increase in luminal diameter while an intima and media dissection at the dilatation site was documented. The perfusion measurements, however, pointed out a clear impairment of poststenotic myocardial perfusion after PTCA.
Threshold FFR, Impaired CFR, and IMR: Macrovascular or Microvascular Disease?
2016
An 80-year-old patient with recurrent stable angina underwent coronary angiography. An intermediate lesion was demonstrated at the ostium of the LAD, which was studied with FFR. The finding of an abnormal CFR was an incidental one.
Effectiveness of Corruption Defence Strategy by the host states under ICSID Arbitration
2020
The corruption phenomena have been a dominant and well-known challenge for international investment and trade in general. However, this challenge achieved a more tangible scale of problematics due to the host state willingness to bypass investment protection mechanisms such as relevant BIT in order to conduct expropriation without legal and economic consequences. As a result, Corruption Defence Strategy was invented. Such a defence strategy implementation under ICSID Arbitration seemed to be sufficient enough to deny a jurisdiction and make the host state to win a case. Respectively, the core issue that is explored is the evaluation of justice achievement by the ICSID Arbitration in the cas…
