Declaration and Handling of Conflicts of Interest in Guidelines
2015
Clinical guidelines are developed in order to support physicians and patients in specific clinical situations when decisions concerning diagnosis and treatment are made. Recommendations provided in guidelines are based on the findings of clinical studies and on expert opinion. Identical study findings may be evaluated differently depending on whether or not guideline authors have conflicts of interest (1). A conflict of interest is defined as a circumstance that gives rise to a risk that professional judgement or actions concerning a primary interest may be inappropriately influenced by a secondary interest (2, 3). A conflict of interest is therefore a state of affairs, not a biased evaluat…
ETHICS OF BELIEVERS
2011
En el presente trabajo analizo la relación existente entre las creencias religiosas de los individuos y sus actitudes ante ciertos asuntos morales y políticos. En algunas ocasiones, ciertos comportamientos de los creyentes contradicen las doctrinas de las religiones que afirman profesar, sin que ello les haga sentirse menos creyentes. Esta disonancia entre las doctrinas y las creencias de los fieles puede explicarse mediante el concepto de la privatización de las creencias religiosas, según el cual en la actualidad las creencias religiosas han perdido la objetividad que tenían en el contexto de monismo moral. De este modo, las convicciones de los creyentes se ven influidas de una manera det…
IL LEGISLATORE TEDESCO ALLARGA LE MAGLIE DELLA REVISIONE CONTRA REUM: L'ASSOLUZIONE PER DELITTI GRAVI E IMPRESCRITTIBILI PUÒ ESSERE MESSA IN DISCUSSI…
2022
Il legislatore tedesco ha ampliato il novero dei casi di revisione in peius. Ha previsto la possibilità di impugnare una sentenza definitiva di assoluzione per omicidio o crimini internazionali, qualora – in base a nuovi fatti o mezzi di prova – emergano “ragioni stringenti” per una condanna. La riforma ha già sollecitato dubbi di legittimità costituzionale e, per la sua rilevanza, suscita varie riflessioni.
BJW and Self-Efficacy in Coping with Observed Victimization
1998
With the theory of “Belief in a Just World” (BJW), Lerner (1970, 1980) has given an explanation as to why people blame innocent victims for self-infliction of their fate and why they derogate innocent victims. They do so to deny injustices, respectively, to defend their belief in a just world. BJW in its most general form implies the conviction that everybody gets what he or she justly deserves. The other side of the coin is that everybody deserves what happens to him or her. When oneself or others enjoy advantages or suffer disadvantages, we care about justice. BJW motivates the search for legitimate reasons. Deservingness is the most legitimate reason for many people.
Presumption of Innocence and Deterrence
2018
This paper deals with the presumption of innocence and the law enforcer's incentives to exert investigative effort. Our main result is that, even if the presumption of guilt maximizes deterrence for a given effort by the law enforcer, divergent objectives between the law enforcer (who maximizes the probability of a conviction weighted by the magnitude of the sanction and the type of the citizen) and the public decision-maker (who minimizes social costs) may lead the latter to prefer the presumption of innocence. Indeed, the presumption of innocence may induce the law enforcer to increase investigative efforts thereby improving deterrence. As a consequence, if the law enforcer's effort is re…
Giuseppe Cocchiara, il fascismo e il razzismo
2021
In questo saggio viene ricostruito il rapporto tra Giuseppe Cocchiara e il fascismo. L’antropologo visse in pieno la sua formazione culturale all'interno del regime al quale aderì con convinzione e slancio, militando sempre nelle sue fazioni più radicali, condividendone fedelmente le scelte più tragiche come la guerra d’Etiopia, sottoscrivendo le leggi razziali, impegnandosi nella seconda guerra mondiale con le armi culturali dell’antisemitismo e della lotta senza tregua contro la democrazia. Così quando, come in un «mondo alla rovescia», sconfitto il fascismo sotto il peso di un’umiliante e sanguinosa disfatta, saranno proprio gli odiati inglesi a valorizzarne la statura intellettuale e la…
Los combates por la fe y el nacimiento de Europa: El ejemplo español del siglo xv al xvii
2019
Este artículo analiza el efecto que la coexistencia del cristianismo, el judaísmo y el islam ha tenido para la configuración de Europa. El trabajo parte de la España del siglo xv, donde esa convivencia es más evidente, para ilustrar cómo las apologías confesionales solían acabar en la conclusión de que la religión del otro era irracional, resultando, pues, imposible construir una identidad europea sin la aniquilación del otro. Conscientes de ello, humanistas como J. L. Vives prefirieron centrar el acercamiento al otro en lo epistemológico y en lo moral más que en lo dogmático. Ese sería el punto de partida para una Europa como la testimoniada en el Quijote, en la que las racionalidades enfr…
The role of civil society organisations in European responsible research and innovation
2018
EC policy reveals a strong conviction that CSO’s main function in EU-funded research and innovation projects is to take care of the ‘societal perspective’, which would not be adequately represented otherwise. With this, CSOs are supposed to be the main advocates of RRI in project consortia and are supported by all kinds of EC policy measures to fulfil this role. This conviction is not only problematic due to definition problems concerning CSO as such. Empirical data about the role of CSOs in high-tech/high-innovation research projects and the distribution of RRI activities among consortia members reveal that the role of CSOs is much more multi-faceted (data providers, providers of access to…
La sentencia y su ejecución en el proyecto dominicano de ley sobre control judicial de la administración pública
2021
The regime of the execution of the sentence is analyzed, starting from the powers of declarative and executive substitution of the contentious-administrative judge. It begins with the reference to the constitutional guidelines of the administrative process. Then, the different modalities of judicial substitution are described in the types of sentences (declarative, constitutive and conviction) regulated in the project, to then refer to the regime of executive seizure of public goods. It ends by describing: the powers granted to the judge to agree indirect measures that assist with the execution of the judgment, the cases of impossibility of execution and the extension of the sentence to thi…
