Models of E-Democracy
2006
Pulished article in Communications of the Association for Information Systems, 17 (1), 818-840. Also available from the publisher: http://aisel.aisnet.org/cais/vol17/iss1/37/ Several theories of E-Democracy have been presented, and implementations of and experiments in E-Democracy emerged. However, existing literature on the subject appears rather non-comprehensive, lacking an integrated basis, for gathering knowledge in the future. After an analysis of theories of E-Democracy versus implementations reported in related literature, we address the need for a model generally absent from contemporary theoretical literature: the Partisan model of E-Democracy. We aim to simplify the current "jung…
Localized hydrogen cracking in the austenitic phase of a duplex stainless steel
1996
The aim of this study is to investigate the role of hydrogen on the mechanical behavior of an austenitic phase, in the particular situation of duplex stainless steels. In these duplex alloys, in presence of hydrogen, the ferritic phase is embrittled by hydrogen and the resistance to cracking is mainly related to the behavior of the austenitic phase. Thus, a discussion of the role of hydrogen at the crack tip of a duplex alloy (as function of the microstructure) has been proposed by T. Perng and C.J. Altester after experiments conducted in gaseous environment. A similar experimental approach has been followed in this study; slow strain rate tests (SSRT) have been performed on duplex stainles…
Automation of Optimized Gabor Filter Parameter Selection for Road Cracks Detection
2016
International audience; Automated systems for road crack detection are extremely important in road maintenance for vehicle safety and traveler's comfort. Emerging cracks in roads need to be detected and accordingly repaired as early as possible to avoid further damage thus reducing rehabilitation cost. In this paper, a robust method for Gabor filter parameters optimization for automatic road crack detection is discussed. Gabor filter has been used in previous literature for similar applications. However, there is a need for automatic selection of optimized Gabor filter parameters due to variation in texture of roads and cracks. The problem of change of background, which in fact is road text…
The Critical Potential of John Elliott’s Liberal Pedagogy
2016
This chapter will continue to explore the difficult balance that, as shown in the previous one, held together the content and process dimensions of social democracy’s and Freire’s pedagogical projects. The same balance will now be approached from the standpoint of the liberal tradition, which provides critical pedagogy with one of the poles of the relationship that this book identifies at the heart of its success. John Elliott’s work on pedagogy and educational action research has been chosen for this purpose. From the early 1970s, when he started writing, to the beginning of this new century, the world has undergone important material and ideological transformations that I believe can be p…

La constitucionalización de la estabilidad presupuestaria en Estados Unidos: lecciones de un debate inacabado
2017
El presente artículo tiene por objeto el estudio de la problemática jurídica que ha suscitado a lo largo de la reciente historia de los Estados Unidos la posible constitucionalización de la estabilidad presupuestaria, analizando las repercusiones de ésta a través de las experiencias estatales y del complejo marco institucional de la democracia norteamericana a nivel federal. Con ello, se perfilarán las cuestiones que más dudas suscitan en torno a la balanced budget desde el prisma constitucional y que pueden repetirse en cualquier proceso de similares características.Recibido: 28 agosto 2017Aceptado: 28 noviembre 2017Publicación en línea: 27 diciembre 2017
I Barresi di Pietraperzia. Una corte feudale tra medioevo ed età moderna
2016
La ricerca si incentra sulla committenza artistica e in particolare sulle iniziative architettoniche promosse da una famiglia dell'alta aristocrazia feudale in Sicilia, i Barresi di Piatraperzia, un centro ubicato nell’entroterra dell’isola, attualmente in provincia di Enna. In questo luogo, dove i Barresi risiederono stabilmente, si sviluppò tra il XV e il XVI secolo una corte aristocratica colta e sofisticata, che ebbe il suo fulcro nel castello di Pietraperzia, soprattutto grazie a due membri di questa famiglia, Giovanni Antonio II e il figlio Matteo, che intrattennero rapporti con autorevoli esponenti della cultura scientifica, artistica e letteraria del tempo. Il ruolo di mecenati e fi…
Workplace democracy and republican freedom
2021
In this chapter, Keith Breen and Onni Hirvonen examine the case for democratic worker voice based on the republican ideal of freedom as non-domination. While not unconvincing, this case is primarily consequentialist in character and therefore open to significant empirical disagreement. Indeed, together with republican arguments for democratic worker voice, there are republican arguments for worker voice that reject workplace democracy, republican arguments that see state regulation plus a universal basic income (UBI) as sufficient for minimizing workplace domination, and republican arguments that focus exclusively on exit rights and are hostile to augmenting workers’ voice. Breen and Hirvon…
Violencia escolar: derechos y deberes para la convivencia / SCHOOL VIOLENCE: RIGHTS AND DUTIES FOR COEXISTENCE
2017
Experts speak of violence as a psychosocial disease generated in violent environments habituation caused by a lack of democratic consciousness. In this regard, violence is broached in this paper considering it as some kind of atmosphere, especially when it is spread in school. Our contribution includes this perspective and concludes, after analysing the broad outlines of some programs and anti-harassment guidelines, the solution relates to promote social harmony and it goes through a basic premise: both aggressors and assaulted must be aware of their duties and basic rights.
