L'homosexualité et la constitution de la famille : situations française et européenne
2016
The 2013-404 law of 17 May 2013 which opened up the possibility for people of the same gender to get married shows a turning point for the family rights in France. This law, sometimes described as a real tsunami, is the outcome of taking into account the homosexuals' claim for starting a family. Before 2013 the French right did not allow a homosexual couple to be a homoparental family. It did not authorize people of the same gender to get married. Moreover Assisted Reproduction is only reserved to heterosexual couples and Gestation for Others is strictly forbidden in France. This seemingly constrained consensus on the non-legal recognition of the homosexual family is reinforced by the Europ…
Context-Aware Model Applied to Hog Descriptor for People Detection
2018
International audience; This work proposes and implements a method based on Context-Aware Visual Attention Model (CAVAM), but modifying the method in such way that the detection algorithm is replaced by Histograms of Oriented Gradients (HOG). After reviewing different algorithms for people detection, we select HOG method because it is a very well known algorithm, which is used as a reference in virtually all current research studies about automatic detection. In addition, it produces accurate results in significantly less time than many algorithms. In this way, we show that CAVAM model can be adapted to other methods for object detection besides Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT), as …
Nutrition-Related Diseases in the Medicines Reimbursement System of Latvia
2013
Latvijā ambulatorajai ārstēšanai paredzēto zāļu un medicīnisko ierīču iegādes izdevumu kompensācijas sistēma darbojas stingri ierobežotu valsts budžeta līdzekļu apstākļos, līdz ar to aktuāls kļūst jautājums par papildus iespēju izvērtēšanu līdzekļu izlietojuma optimizācijai, ņemot vērā arī preventīvo pasākumu nozīmīgumu. Pētījuma mērķis ir identificēt uztura atkarīgās slimības zāļu iegādes izdevumu kompensācijas sistēmā un novērtēt iespējas noteikt papildinošo uztura programmu potenciālo efektivitāti. Mērķa sasniegšanai izmantotas teorētiskās izpētes metodes (normatīvo dokumentu un speciālās literatūras analīze) un empīriskās izpētes metodes (statistikas datu vākšana, apkopošana un analīze)…
Chronic Total Coronary Artery Occlusion Recanalisation with Percutaneous Coronary Intervention — Single Centre 10-Year Experience
2018
Abstract Coronary artery chronic total occlusions (CTO) are common — approximately one-third of patients with significant coronary artery disease on angiography have at least 1 CTO. Invasive treatment of these lesions still remain a major challenge for interventional cardiology due to their complexity. Historically, success rates have improved to about 60–70% by using only the traditional antegrade approach. The results have dramatically improved during the last decade after more widespread application of new retrograde techniques. The aim of our study was to review and analyse single hospital experience in CTO invasive treatment and to evaluate the long-term results. A total of 519 patient…
La corruzione privata e la riforma dell'art. 2635 c.c.
2013
L'articolo esplora il trattamento penale dei fatti di corruzione privata, anche alla luce della recente legge n. 190/2012. Due le tesi principali sostenute: 1) contrariamente a quel che si crede, nel nostro ordinamento esiste già (ed esisteva anche prima del 2012) una incriminazione - sia pur non diretta - dei fatti di corruzione privata; 2) la riforma del 2012 cambia l'offensita' tipica dei reati di cui all'art. 2635 c.c., affiancando alla tutela del patrimonio, una tutela della concorrenza quale interesse dei consumatori. The paper explores the Italian discipline on private bribery, which has recently undergone significant reform through law no. 190/2012.
An Artificial Decision Maker for Comparing Reference Point Based Interactive Evolutionary Multiobjective Optimization Methods
2021
Comparing interactive evolutionary multiobjective optimization methods is controversial. The main difficulties come from features inherent to interactive solution processes involving real decision makers. The human can be replaced by an artificial decision maker (ADM) to evaluate methods quantitatively. We propose a new ADM to compare reference point based interactive evolutionary methods, where reference points are generated in different ways for the different phases of the solution process. In the learning phase, the ADM explores different parts of the objective space to gain insight about the problem and to identify a region of interest, which is studied more closely in the decision phas…
Assimilation of Selenium, Copper, and Zinc in Rye Malt
2018
Abstract Trace elements selenium, copper, and zinc are essential minerals for the human body. One of the means to increase the micronutrient content in diets is to add them to food raw materials, for example, to enrich grain with micronutrients during malt production. To obtain rye malt, 3 kg grain was soaked in 10 l water with addition of three mineral salts — sodium selenate (Na2SeO4), copper sulphate (CuSO4 5H2O), and zinc sulphate (ZnSO4 7H2O) at different concentrations and different combination of salts. The concentration of selenium, copper, and zinc was determined in rye malt. The obtained results were used to calculate the degree of assimilation of trace elements in rye malt. The i…
PIE statutory audit market concentration: evidence from Latvia
2019
The reform of EU audit legislation was adopted by the Council of the EU in April 2014. The legislation consists of an audit Directive and an audit Regulation. The Directive applies to all statutory audits; the Regulation contains specific requirements for the statutory audits of public-interest entities (PIEs). The Regulation aims both at enhancing audit quality and at promoting competition in the audit market. Mandatory rotation, together with the incentives for joint audit and tendering, as well as the prohibition of certain non-audit services to audit clients - requiring de facto that another audit firm provides these services - are examples of measures that should make the market more d…
Gli interessi moratori usurari ma contra legem
2021
Il saggio muove dalla recente sentenza delle Sezioni unite della Corte di cassazione sull'inclusione degli interessi moratori nell'ambito di applicazione della fattispecie dell'usura in astratto. La risposta data dalle Sezioni unite è positiva ed essa va pienamente condivisa, perché gli interessi moratori rientrano tra i costi dei finanziamenti, ancorché eventuali. Gli argomenti a sostegno di questa conclusione sono però totalmente errate e essi destano allarme perché si presentano chiaramente contra legem. The essay starts from the recent judgment of the Sezioni unite of the Court of Cassation on the inclusion of interests for non performance within the scope of the figure of usury so call…
