The Ill-Fated Union: Constitutional Entrenchment of Rights and the Will Theory from Rousseau to Waldron

2014

This chapter revisits the key theses of Georg’s Jellinek’s Declaration of the Rights of Man and of Citizens: A Contribution to Modern Constitutional History [1895]. The objective of this chapter is to expose the ‘umbilical cord’ that linked the notion of ‘constitutional’ rights and the will theory, on one side, and the internal incompatibility of notion of ‘inalienable rights’ with the will theory – reflecting an unabated conflict of the doctrines of parliamentary supremacy and constitutional rights, on another side. These doctrines are part of both ‘continental’ and ‘common law’ traditions. Our intent is also to reflect on the shared groundwork of the doctrine of sovereignty of Hobbes, Aus…

Human Rights and Substantive Equality in the Adjudication of Ethnic Practices

2016

With the development of human rights and anti-discrimination law, courts have increasingly been called upon to protect ethnicity related practices from general criminal and civil sanctions. These ‘claims of culture’ have so far been addressed with remarkable inconsistency, leading to popular fears of unlimited normative pluralism and targeted legislative measures. Compounding such controversies, philosophical approaches to multiculturalism have mostly been concerned with policy and offered vague or distorted portrayals of judicial challenges. This article seeks to fill the gap by exploring how the legal standard of substantive equality might structure the courts’ approach to a range of case…

Self-Assembly of Zr(C2O4)44– Metallotectons and Bisimidazolium Cations: Influence of the Dication on H-Bonded Framework Dimensionality and Material P…

2011

Assemblies involving [Zr(C2O4)4]4– metallotectons (C2O42– = oxalate) and linear, flexible, or V-shaped organic cations (H2-Lx)2+ derived from the 1,4-bisimidazol-1-ylbenzene molecule have been envisioned to elaborate porous frameworks based on ionic H-bonds. Five architectures of formula [{(H2-L1)2Zr(C2O4)4}·2H2O] (1), [{(H2-L2)2Zr(C2O4)4}·6H2O] (2), [{(H2-L3)2Zr(C2O4)4}·6H2O] (3), [{(H2-L4)2Zr(C2O4)4}·H2O] (4), and [{(H2-L5)2Zr(C2O4)4}·6H2O] (5) (with L1 = p-bis(imidazol-1-yl)benzene, L2 = p-bis(2-methylimidazol-1-yl)benzene, L3 = p-bis(imidazol-1-yl)-2,5-dimethylbenzene, L4 = p-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene, L5 = m-bis(imidazol-1-yl)benzene) have been obtained; 1–3, and 5 show an open-f…

Highly Conjugatedp-Quinonoidπ-Extended Tetrathiafulvalene Derivatives: A Class of Highly Distorted Electron Donors

2004

A new class of pi-extended TTF-type electron donors (11 a-c) has been synthesized by Wittig-Horner olefination of bianthrone (9) with 1,3-dithiole phosphonate esters (10 a-c). In cyclic voltammetry experiments, donors 11 a-c reveal a single, electrochemically irreversible oxidation-yielding the corresponding dicationic products-at relatively low oxidation potentials (approximately 0.7-0.8 V). Theoretical calculations, performed at the DFT level (B3 P86/6-31 G*), predict a highly-folded C(2h) structure for 11 a. In the ground state, the molecule adopts a double saddle-like conformation to compensate the steric hindrance. The calculations suggest that the intramolecular charge transfer associ…

Territorial development models: A new strategic vision to analyze the relationship between the environment, public goods and geographical indications

2021

Abstract Geographical indications (GIs) are increasingly seen as a tool to support sustainable local development. This study focuses on how geographical indications can contribute to a territorial public system, and how this can be threatened by several market failures. Starting from the economic literature on public goods, this document highlights how geographical indications, and their legal protection, can guarantee a sustainable development model. This article aims to illustrate and develop new economic arguments that support a more comprehensive political approach to the contribution that Geographical indications make to sustainable development. The research is focused in Sicily on the…

Designing of microcontroller based Syringe Pump with variable and low delivery rates for the administration of small volumes

2015

Delivering medications and fluids intravenously is a common practice in modern medical procedures. Administering medications or fluids directly into a patient's blood circulation results in a predictable and immediate absorption of the drug or fluid administered, this may play a vital role in the treatment of certain acute conditions which require immediate action by drugs or fluids. Syringe Pumps are highly useful in delivering a precise quantity of the substance at specific periods of time as required. This research presents a proposal to create a cost effective working prototype of syringe pump for variable and low delivery rates for the administration of small volumes. The presented Syr…

Altered processing of sensory stimuli in patients with migraine.

2014

Migraine is a cyclic disorder, in which functional and morphological brain changes fluctuate over time, culminating periodically in an attack. In the migrainous brain, temporal processing of external stimuli and sequential recruitment of neuronal networks are often dysfunctional. These changes reflect complex CNS dysfunction patterns. Assessment of multimodal evoked potentials and nociceptive reflex responses can reveal altered patterns of the brain's electrophysiological activity, thereby aiding our understanding of the pathophysiology of migraine. In this Review, we summarize the most important findings on temporal processing of evoked and reflex responses in migraine. Considering these d…

Interventistica eco-guidata per l’articolazione d’anca

2013

Lo scopo di questo lavoro è di rivedere le principali applicazioni della interventistica eco-guidata d’anca, descrivendone le indicazioni e la metodologia. L’ecografia è una metodica considerata sicura per i pazienti, in quanto non è stato dimostrato un possibile danno dovuto all’energia trasmessa dagli ultrasuoni ai tessuti del paziente, contrariamente alle metodiche che fanno uso di radiazioni ionizzanti, come la radiografia convenzionale e la tomografia computerizzata. Inoltre, l’ecografia risulta rapida ed efficace nel guidare l’ago verso la sede voluta evitando di intercettare strutture vascolari e/o nervose, consentendo quindi una maggiore sicurezza, rispetto alle tecniche interventis…
