Validating Habitual and Goal-Directed Decision-Making Performance Online in Healthy Older Adults
2021
Everyday decision-making is supported by a dual-system of control comprised of parallel goal-directed and habitual systems. Over the past decade, the two-stage Markov decision task has become popularized for its ability to dissociate between goal-directed and habitual decision-making. While a handful of studies have implemented decision-making tasks online, only one study has validated the task by comparing in-person and web-based performance on the two-stage task in children and young adults. To date, no study has validated the dissociation of goal-directed and habitual behaviors in older adults online. Here, we implemented and validated a web-based version of the two-stage Markov task usi…

Il coinvolgimento di soci e stakeholders nella determinazione delle remunerazioni degli amministratori. Prime riflessioni alla luce della proposta di…
2016
L'articolo analizza la disciplina delle remunerazioni degli amministratori delle società quotate europee dettata dalla recente proposta di direttiva modificativa della Shareholder Rights Directive, soffermandosi, in particolare, sulle modalità di coinvolgimento dei soci e degli stakeholders nel relativo procedimento decisionale. Alla luce dell'analisi svolta, appare opportuna la previsione, contenuta nel testo della proposta di direttiva, di un'obbligatoria consultazione assembleare - a valenza anche meramente consultiva - avente ad oggetto la politica remunerativa e la successiva relazione annuale sui compensi, nell'ottica della prevenzione dell'endemico conflitto d'interessi che caratteri…

How representative are referendums? Evidence from 20 years of Swiss referendums
2017
Direct democracy allows citizens to reverse decisions made by legislatures and even initiate new laws which parliaments are unwilling to pass, thereby, as its proponents argue, leading to more representative policies than would have obtained under a purely representative democracy. Yet, turnout in referendums is usually lower than in parliamentary elections and tends to be skewed towards citizens of high socio-economic status. Consequently, critics of direct democracy argue that referendum outcomes may not be representative of the preferences of the population at large. We test this assertion using a compilation of post-referendum surveys encompassing 148 national referendums held in Switze…
Efficiency of COVID-19 Testing Centers in Iran: A Data Envelopment Analysis Approach
2022
AbstractObjective:The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficiency of the Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) in managing their nonmonetary resources involved in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) response.Methods:For this purpose, the data envelopment analysis approach was used to measure the efficiency, considering the number of personnel and vehicles and screened passengers as the input and output parameters, respectively. It was examined the efficiency of 10 IRCS’s branches given 17 d of screening operation. For the analysis, the DEA SolverPro software 15a version was used.Results:The results show that only 1 branch had been fully efficient in using the resources, while 5 bra…
La responsabilidad indirecta de los prestadores de servicios de la sociedad de la información e intermediarios a la luz del artículo 138.II de la Ley…
2016
Con el auge de internet vino aparejada la idea de que todo el contenido en la red era gratuito. La proliferación de programas de intercambio de archivos y de páginas de visionado en directo (o streaming), por citar algunos ejemplos, son prueba de ello. Los creadores de estos programas, en multitud de ocasiones, han sido demandados por la vulneración de los derechos de autor. Unas pretensiones, a la sazón, desestimadas porque estos sujetos no cometían directamente la infracción, sino los usuarios de sus servicios. La situación ha cambiado. El nuevo párrafo segundo del artículo 138 de la Ley de Propiedad Intelectual amplía la legitimación pasiva a quien induzca, coopere o se beneficie de la c…
Early warning on insolvency in the European Union law
2020
Rapid diagnosis of the risk of an entrepreneur’s insolvency is of great importance for the socio-economic environment. This issue is of particular importance in the context of the financial crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The insolvency resulting in the announced bankruptcy brings a lot of harm to the debtors themselves (their shareholders), creditors and the entire economy. A much better solution is the restructuring of the debtor. For the purposes of predicting insolvency can be used Artificial Intelligence although traditional methods are also in use. For these reasons, in European Union law, the Restructuring Directive focuses on the anticipation of debtor’s insolvency. The text…
Charged supramolecular assemblies of surfactant molecules in gas phase
2016
The aim of this review is to critically analyze recent literature on charged supramolecular assemblies formed by surfactant molecules in gas phase. Apart our specific interest on this research area, the stimuli to undertake the task arise from the widespread theoretical and applicative benefits emerging from a comprehensive view of this topic. In fact, the study of the formation, stability, and physicochemical peculiarities of non-covalent assemblies of surfactant molecules in gas phase allows to unveil interesting aspects such as the role of attractive, repulsive, and steric intermolecular interactions as driving force of supramolecular organization in absence of interactions with surround…
