Sustainability Theory: A Review of Key Ideas for Sustainability and green procurement context
2020
Sustainability and sustainable development have become important concepts and goals across science and society. Sustainability, connected to desirable long-term conditions, is an inherently applied in public sector, public procurements. Every year the European Union (EU) Member States collectively spend around 14% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on public procurement. In Latvia, public procurement accounts for 17% of GDP. The review of the new public procurement directives and their transposition process in Latvia plans to show new opportunities for green public procurement (GPP) application: the contracting authority will be able to reject, for example, an abnormally low bid, include envir…
The Content of Economic Partnership Agreements
2021
This chapter contains the second part of exemplary EPA critique related to the content of the treaties. All relevant economic aspects and clauses of the trade-in-goods agreements are critically examined, including the market access offer, quantitative restrictions, trade remedies, export duties and subsidies, national treatment and procurement, and rules of origin. The agreed and proposed clauses are submitted to scrutiny of whether the remaining policy space still allows sensible infant industry protection in Africa. The analysis concludes that some policy space is left for targeted developmental efforts by African governments but is made very difficult in the practical management of the n…
The Market’s Maturity for Public Procurement of Circular Furniture: A Study from Latvia
2021
Public procurement plays an important role in the market by making up 14% of the Gross Domestic Product in the European Union, therefore it is seen as an important instrument to promote such products and services that better meet society’s demands, for example, sustainability. Starting from 2015, circularity is an important aspect of sustainability. Furniture is among the product groups with a significant impact on the material footprint, therefore approaches to increase material efficiency and circularity are of high value. With this research, the authors investigate the market’s maturity, i.e. the readiness of suppliers to offer circular furniture and services, as well as the readiness o…
Verso un diritto penale geneticamente modificato? A proposito di un recente progetto di riforma dei reati agroalimentari
2016
The article analyses, first of all, – also in a comparative key – the most significant problematic aspects emerging from the resort, very frequent in the food sector, to typification techniques based on references to European legislation. Lexical hybridisms and precautionary needs of the European model of food security risk to affect the classical categories of criminal law, not only at the level of relevant concepts, but also at that of fundamental principles. After an overall look to the contents of the reform Project of agro-food crimes elaborated by the Caselli Commission in 2015, the study focuses particularly on the way the Project suggests to rewrite the cornerstone offence establish…
Antilisterial peptides from Spanish dry-cured hams: Purification and identification.
2016
The typical Spanish dry-cured ham has a particular sensory quality that makes it a distinctive food, highly appreciated for consumers worldwide. Its particular physicochemical properties, such as high salt content and reduced water activity contribute to their shelf-stability. However, post-processing actions carried out for the commercialization of these products such as slicing may increase the risk of development of pathogenic microorganisms as Listeria monocytogenes. During ripening, muscle proteins are hydrolyzed by muscle peptidases releasing peptides and free amino acids. Some of these peptides have been described to exert biological activities such as antioxidant and ACE-inhibition.…
Gadamer y el problema hermenéutico de la interpretación psicoanalítica
2020
Existe una posición privilegiada para analizar la relación posible entre la filosofía y el psicoanálisis, y esta es a través de la hermenéutica. No solo Ricoeur, multitud de autores, a uno y otro lado de la disputa, han expresado sus posturas acerca de qué comparten y qué distinguen al psicoanálisis y a la hermenéutica filosófica, que quiere servir de vehículo para comprender la esencia interpretante del ser humano. Debido a ello, autores como Heidegger y Gadamer se han visto llamados a expresar sus posiciones acerca del saber del inconsciente, para evaluar el modo de poner en contacto la esencia del psicoanálisis como talking cure y la referencia interna de la filosofía como diálogo. Con t…
Constructing Healing Dialogues in Group Treatment for Men Who Have Used Violence Against Their Intimate Partners
2012
Although various “talking cure” treatments typically constitute an important part of practices in social work and mental health services, there are few studies on the actual “talk-within-the-cure.” This qualitative study examined talk in group treatment for men who had used violence against their intimate partners. Using the method termed Dialogical Investigations, the aim of the present study was to examine the construction of “healing dialogues,” that is, dialogues that promote change in clients, within treatment conversations. The results of the micro-analysis suggest that mutually responsive and constructive dialogical interaction and talk with symbolic language may support the emergenc…
Amministrazioni di risultati e certezza del diritto: una lettura contemporanea
2022
The contribution explores the thematic axis of the administration of results and the plurality of legal meanings that are brought back to this notion by the legal debate, in order to frame the structural relationship with the principle of legal certainty. The reference to the legal significance of legal certainty (together with the result) makes it possible not to lose the basis of the legal action and to identify the broadening of the definition of certainty understood as social security
Privacy Preserving Client/Vertical-Servers Classification
2019
We present a novel client/vertical-servers architecture for hybrid multi-party classification problem. The model consists of clients whose attributes are distributed on multiple servers and remain secret during training and testing. Our solution builds privacy-preserving random forests and completes them with a special private set intersection protocol that provides a central commodity server with anonymous conditional statistics. Subsequently, the private set intersection protocol can be used to privately classify the queries of new clients using the commodity server’s statistics. The proviso is that the commodity server must not collude with other parties. In cases where this restriction …
