Designing Deliberation Systems
2010
In a liberal democracy, the evolution of political agendas and formation of policy involves deliberation: serious consideration of political issues. Modern day political participation is dependent on widespread deliberation supported by information and communication technologies, which also offer the potential to revitalize and transform citizen engagement in democracy. Although the majority of web 2.0 systems enable these discourses to some extent, government institutions commission and manage specialized deliberation systems (information systems designed to support participative discourse) intended to promote citizen engagement. The most common examples of these are political discussio…
Globalización, valores sociales y choque de civilizaciones
2005
The thesis of the supposed clash of the Islamic and the western civilizations is, by far, the most diffused and debated of all the subjects and proposals dealt Huntington in his book <i>The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order</i>, above all after the terrorist attacks of the September 11<sup>th</sup>. The results of the World Social Survey 2000-2001 directed by Inglehart, are used in the present article to test the thesis of the cultural differences in a wide sample of Western Christian and Islamic societies. The comparative analysis undertaken allows to conclude that the cultural differences between both group societies are quite important, althou…

Substituting a Substitute Currency – The Case of Estonia
2002
This study evaluates substitution of foreign currency balances in Estonia, a transition economy neighbouring countries participating in EMU. The focus is on substitution between dollar and euro balances in the three basic functions of money - unit of account, store of value and means of payment. While traditional models for currency substitution concentrate on substitution between a domestic currency and aggregate foreign currency balances, we look for substitution between the dollar and the euro or euro-related foreign currency balances. We find substitution between dollarization and euroization to be asymmetric in the short run, which suggests that inertia, irreversibility and ratchet eff…
Managing the liberalization of Italy's retail electricity market: A policy proposal☆
2020
Abstract Italy will phase out electricity retail price regulation by July 1st, 2020. Until then, residential customers and small businesses who do not choose their supplier are served under a regulated tariff named “maggior tutela” (greater protection), supplied by the local distributor at a price set by the regulator. We review the literature on electricity retail competition – with particular regard to its expected effects on prices, innovation, and customer engagement – and the conditions under which competition is expected to deliver benefits. We perform a Structure-Conduct-Performance analysis of Italy's retail electricity market for residential customers, finding two issues potentiall…
Inhalable nano into micro dry powders for ivacaftor delivery: The role of mannitol and cysteamine as mucus-active agents.
2020
In this paper the innovative approach of Nano into micro (NiM9 was developed to produce Nanoparticles loaded Ivacaftor to incorporate into mannitol or mannitol/cysteamine micromatrices for drug pulmonary administration in CF. Nanoparticles composed by a mixture of two polyhydrohydroxyethtylaspartamide copolymers containing a loading of Ivacaftor of 15.5 % w/w were produced. These Nanoparticles were incorporated into microparticles to obtain NiM that were characterized in terms of size and size distribution, interaction with CF-AM by rheological and turbidimetric studies as well as by aerodynamic diameter measurements. Finally the activity of Ivacaftor into these NiM was evaluated by in vitr…
Autorizzazioni amministrative e liberalizzazione dei mercati tra diritto europeo e diritto interno
2018
Il libro ripercorre le trasformazioni della disciplina nazionale delle autorizzazioni amministrative per l'influenza del diritto dell'Unione europea che ha profondamente modificato la base giuridica del potere autorizzatorio. Dopo un'ampia premessa dedicata all'affermazione delle politiche di liberalizzazione in Europa, un'ampia parte del lavoro è rivolta ad esaminare i nuovi principi in materia di procedimenti autorizzatori che si possono ricavare dalla giurisprudenza della Corte di giustizia e dalla normativa europea. Inoltre, sono analizzati i cambiamenti che hanno riguardato i diversi settori nazionali in cui trovano applicazione le autorizzazioni amministrative, per dimostrare la progr…

L'Irlanda e il mito di Daniel O'Connell nelle pagine della rivista francese Correspondant
2014
The liberal French magazine «Correspondant» has historically devoted some articles to the Irish political history and to the Irish “Liberator” and “Emancipator” Daniel O’Connell. Charles de Montalembert, who was named «O’Connell’s pupil» by French liberal Catholics, played a part in the first series of the French magazine. This appeared in 1829 as an organ of the Association pour la défense de la religion catholique. Among the editors’ goals there were: the truth, Catholicism, the independence and alliance of faith and freedom. In 1843, after a few years of inactivity, the «Correspondant» resumed publication and Montalembert returned to work in this second edition, supporting in his writing…
Ai confini dell’etica: la Teoria dell’amore e del libero arbitrio
2021
Dai suoi studi dedicati alla Divina Commedia (vol. XIX/2), Romano Guardini ci propone un’analisi dell’etica dantesca, vale a dire dell’architettura di valori che Dante pose a reggere i regni dell’aldilà, e che dall’aldilà disvela il corretto ordine dell’universo e l’essenza propria della persona. A condizione dell’agire etico v’è il valore della libertà, l’umana facoltà di scelta che in vita incontra il vincolo della responsabilità: la persona libera è responsabile poiché e finché nella vita terrena decide di sé. Il senso della “Teoria dell’amore e del libero arbitrio” che Guardini scorge come nucleo dell’etica dantesca è quello di una libertà che attratta dal valore -e dai valori- ad essi …
