The Case Law of the ECtHR in 2020 in the Light of the Principle of Systemic Harmonisation
2021
This article provides for an overview of some relevant developments in the case-law of the ECtHR in 2020. Priority will be given to Grand Chamber judgments and decisions and those of the Chambers deemed to be relevant from a substantial and procedural viewpoint. Given that in 2020 the Steering Committee for Human Rights published its report on ‘The Place of the European Convention of Human Rights in the International and European Legal Order’, the case-law will be selected and examined from the viewpoint of the principle of systemic harmonisation. The aim is highlighting positive and negative examples of application of general international law by the ECtHR, of cross-fertilisation between t…
Attività musicale, patrocinio e condizione femminile nei monasteri palermitani (sec. XVII-XVIII)
2016
I rapporti tra istituzioni religiose femminili, mecenatismo musicale e contesto urbano sono da tempo riconosciuti e ampiamente studiati. Nonostante ciò si è prestata scarsa attenzione alla situazione siciliana, in particolare alla città di Palermo. Il contributo intende sottolineare il ruolo che la produzione musicale riuscì a giocare nella proiezione concreta e metaforica delle voci delle donne nel mondo e nella società esterni. Ciò valeva sia per le istituzioni che si distinguevano per la clausura delle monache che ospitavano, sia per i conventi che sfidavano regole e regolamenti. In ogni caso le monache usavano la musica come mezzo per negoziare i confini della loro reclusione e riafferm…
Early childhood education and care for Tibetan children in the People's Republic of China: Left behind or led from behind?
2015
Early Childhood Education and Care provision has been expanded in the People’s Republic of China over the last decades. For this expansion to harmonize with young children’s rights, special measures should ensure that the system of provision guarantees the participation and inclusion of the most vulnerable citizens. With this as a focus, this article reviews and discusses the state of Early Childhood Education and Care provision for young children of Tibetan ethnicity in People’s Republic of China. The available literature and ongoing measures and plans are explored around this topic in order to identify the main issues.
A Critical Analysis of the Explicit and Implicit Treatment of Human Rights Education in Early Childhood Education Textbooks
2020
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child explicitly recognizes that children are entitled to the full range of civil, cultural, economic, political and social rights. Despite the powerful social function of textbooks in legitimizing cultural norms in primary and secondary education, there has been little attention on human rights issues in early childhood education (ECE) curricular materials. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the explicit and implicit representation of human rights education (HRE) in ECE textbooks. Our quantitative and qualitative results show that ECE textbooks failed to find any explicit mention of children’s rights, an excessive attention focused on t…
Impacts of sovereign risk premium on bank profitability: Evidence from euro area
2021
We analyse the effects of low and negative interest rates and sovereign risk premium on bank profitability among 154 Eurozone banks during the period 2005–2019. In contrast to some of the results in the previous literature, we find that the euro area banks have not suffered too much from the extremely low and negative interest rate era regarding their net interest margins. However, the overall profitability has lowered clearly during the sample period, and the sovereign risk premium has a robust negative effect on all the overall profitability measures, both with risk-adjustment and without it, but it seems to have an increasing effect on the degree of wholesale funding and loan loss provis…
Design, assembly and characterization of silicide-based thermoelectric modules
2016
ID: 1143 In: Energy conversion and management, 13-21. Summary: Highlights•Novel silicide-based thermoelectric modules were experimentally investigated.•The modules produced high power of 1.04 W at 405 °C and 3.24 W at 735 °C.•An estimated module efficiency of 5.3% represent the highest reported for silicide systems.AbstractSilicides have attracted considerable attention for use in thermoelectric generators due mainly to low cost, low toxicity and light weight, in contrast to conventional materials such as bismuth and lead telluride. Most reported work has focused on optimizing the materials properties while little has been done on module testing. In this work we have designed and tested mod…

Unconventional Reducing Gases Monitoring in Everyday Places
2017
Abstract Air pollution, be it indoors or outdoors, is a major environmental health concern as it can lead to serious health effects, such as respiratory diseases, including asthma and lung cancer. Much progress has been made in Europe in improving outdoor air quality and limit values have been set for several pollutants. However, indoor air quality also requires attention because this is where we spend most of our time. Measurements at appropriate spatial and temporal scales are essential for understanding and monitoring heterogeneous environments with complex and highly variable emission sources, such as in urban areas. However, the costs and complexity of conventional air quality measurem…
Estimation of air pollutant emissions in flower roundabouts and in conventional roundabouts
2013
Abstract The road pollutant emissions, above all in urban context, are correlated to many infrastructural parameters and to traffic intensity and typology. The research work on road junction geometry, carried out in European research centres, has recently allowed to design new road intersection types which are of undoubted interest, especially in terms of traffic functionality and safety, like the flower roundabouts (in which right-turn manoeuvres do not conflict with the circulating flow). The main objective of this paper is to propose a model for the estimation the capacity, delay, levels of service and the pollutant emissions into flower roundabouts. A comparative analysis between conven…
Experiencing Urban Mining in an Italian Municipality towards a Circular Economy vision
2017
Abstract Selective waste collection in Italy has undergone significant changes over the last decade, highlighting very different approaches from one region to another. Research results presented in this paper are underlying differences between geographical regions and use them as a model of good practices to improve the less optimized systems. In the last decade, the Trento City Council has established a goal – the optimization of selective municipal solid waste collection – that led to a very low amount of recyclable materials in the residual fraction. More than that, for the first time sanitary textiles have been considered as a separable fraction at the source; for a long time this type …
