Manufacturing, characterization and control of cell-based medicinal products: challenging paradigms toward commercial use

2015

During the past decade, a large number of cell-based medicinal products have been tested in clinical trials for the treatment of various diseases and tissue defects. However, licensed products and those approaching marketing authorization are still few. One major area of challenge is the manufacturing and quality development of these complex products, for which significant manipulation of cells might be required. While the paradigms of quality, safety and efficacy must apply also to these innovative products, their demonstration may be demanding. Demonstration of comparability between production processes and batches may be difficult for cell-based medicinal products. Thus, the development …

Un diritto per l'Europa industriale. Cultura giuridica ed economia dalla Rivoluzione francese al Secondo Dopoguerra.

2016

Nel 1807 la Francia di Napoleone raccoglieva nel primo Codice di commercio della storia i motivi salienti della cultura giuridica del tempo, e più specificamente quegli aspetti che, emersi nel decennio rivoluzionario, erano usciti indenni dalla “restaurazione” d’inizio secolo: eguaglianza giuridica formale, unicità del soggetto di diritto, prospettiva individualistica, egemonia del diritto di proprietà. Nel corso del XIX secolo la cultura giuridica avrebbe cercato di rielaborare gli schemi ordinanti della codificazione napoleonica, ricalcandone però nel complesso le linee ideologiche e l’impianto concettuale. Diritto ed economia viaggiavano a doppia velocità: sullo sfondo di un’Europa avvia…

Spectral density of the correlation matrix of factor models: a random matrix theory approach.

2005

We studied the eigenvalue spectral density of the correlation matrix of factor models of multivariate time series. By making use of the random matrix theory, we analytically quantified the effect of statistical uncertainty on the spectral density due to the finiteness of the sample. We considered a broad range of models, ranging from one-factor models to hierarchical multifactor models.

IMPLICACIONES DEL USO DE BUSCADORES EN EL COMPORTAMIENTO DE COMPRA ONLINE / IMPLICATIONS OF THE SEARCH ENGINES USE IN THE ONLINE SHOPPING BEHAVIOUR

2009

El objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar los factores que influyen en el uso de buscadores y su incidencia en el comportamiento de compra en Internet. El análisis de resultados obtenidos a partir de una muestra representativa de 485 compradores por Internet españoles, pone de manifiesto que los consumidores que consideran la comodidad, reducciones de precio y amplitud de surtido como motivaciones relevantes para realizar compras online presentan una mayor predisposición al uso de buscadores en la realización de sus compras virtuales. La experiencia como internauta y como comprador en Internet son factores que influyen negativamente en el uso de buscadores para la realización de compras …

Early modern maritime insurance between mercantile customs and ius commune

2020

Le droit coutumier a qualifié la responsabilité du capitaine de navire de culpabilité. Les juristes, notamment les tribunaux, se sont concentrés sur des catégories spécifiques (contractuelles, délictuelles ou pénales). Le passage de l’un à l’autre implique une différence très significative en matière de qualification du comportement, donc des preuves requises. Cela a eu des conséquences importantes sur l’étendue de la responsabilité du capitaine du navire, donc sur la position des assurés.

Halal Tourism in Bali, Why Not?

2019

The case studied in this chapter is about the discourse of halal tourism (HT) to be implemented in Bali, and to be proposed as layer in special interest tourism (SIT). It aims to offer a framework that attempts to demystify the halal dimensions attributed at non-Muslim destination. Literature review is used as method of the study. Discussion of this chapter lies on the basic elements to be attributed to HT and SIT as a basis to strengthen and to support the framework derived from the review literature and to clarify the record of literature which suggests economic benefits by providing HT in the non-Muslim-friendly destination and sustaining tourists' arrival by mapping SIT as priority in d…

Modeling the Probability of Informed Trading in the European Carbon Market

2012

We provide evidence of informed trading in the European carbon market. We adapt Easley et al.’s (1996) PIN methodology to the particularities of this market by isolating the trading activity on the two carbon offsets: European Union Allowances (EUAs) and Certified Emission Reductions (CERs). We find that the PIN regularly increases before the publication of the yearly verified-emission reports. CERs exhibit lower average PIN than EUAs. While the PIN of CERs has increased over time, together with its share in total trading activity, EUAs’ PIN has remained pretty stable. Our findings suggest that CERs must not be avoided in any decision or analysis made by researchers, regulators or traders i…

Going Public – Going Private: The Case of VC-Backed Firms

2012

We investigate the decisions of listed firms to go private once again. We start by revealing that while a significant number of firms which go public is VC-backed, an overproportional share of these VC-backed firms go private later on (they stay on the exchange for an average of 8.5 years). We interpret this very robust pattern such that IPOs of VC-backed firms are to a large extent a temporary rather than a permanent feature of the corporate governance of these firms.We investigate various potential hypotheses why VCs actually seem to be able to bring marginal firms to the exchange by relating the going-private decisions to various characteristics of the IPO market as well as to VC charact…
