Alimony in divorce in the Italian Legal System
2009
The art. 5, Act 898/1970, as amended by the art.10, Act 74/1987, ruled the financial support for divorcing couples. The acknowledgement of the right to the alimony in divorce has great influence on the whole economic organization as consequence of the dissolution of marriage. The paper aims to clarify some parts of the rule that are particularly difficult to interpret, through the analysis of the different opinions of the doctrine and Courts making a comparison with the principal models of the European legal System. The first point regards the consequences to the choice of the Italian legislator to ascribe, in the new act, to the alimony in divorce a nature for living support only for maint…

Should all the world be taxed?
1997
Governments are beginning to fear that the establishment of the “information society” will cause their revenue from taxation to shrink: economic activities in the virtual world of the Internet could escape the application of value added tax. Are these fears justified? Would a “bit tax” solve the problem?

[ES] La educación jurídica clínica ha cobrado gran importancia en la formación de los juristas en las facultades de Derecho de todo el mundo. En concreto, el enfoque clínico puede servir para reequilibrar los fines que debería tener la educación jurídica: formar juristas preparados y competentes, profesionales valiosos, y buenos ciudadanos. En el texto, a partir de las experiencias en universidades de todo el mundo y recientemente en nuestro país, se exploran algunas sugerencias para su incorporación en el proceso formativo de los juristas y para fomentar su futura sostenibilidad.
La Gestación subrogada en el marco de la Constitución española: una cuestión de derechos
2017
La gestación subrogada o gestación por sustitución es una práctica controvertida y de gran actualidad especialmente en España porque sin estar permitida en nuestro ordenamiento jurídico algunas parejas están utilizándola ya en el extranjero. Este trabajo pretende desarrollar los aspectos que considero más importantes para apoyar mi argumento contra la práctica de alquilar los cuerpos de las mujeres para gestar hijos para otras personas a través de un contrato: la afectación a la dignidad de las gestantes y a sus derechos inherentes, la renuncia de los derechos de filiación, y la supuesta libertad de las gestantes para aceptar las condiciones del contrato. La gestación por sustitución afecta…
Pharmacogenetics and Forensic Toxicology: A New Step towards a Multidisciplinary Approach
2021
Pharmacogenetics analyzes the individual behavior of DNA genes after the administration of a drug. Pharmacogenetic research has been implemented in recent years thanks to the improvement in genome sequencing techniques and molecular genetics. In addition to medical purposes, pharmacogenetics can constitute an important tool for clarifying the interpretation of toxicological data in post-mortem examinations, sometimes crucial for determining the cause and modality of death. The purpose of this systematic literature review is not only to raise awareness among the forensic community concerning pharmacogenetics, but also to provide a workflow for forensic toxicologists to follow in cases of unk…
Advances in the analysis of legal and illegal drugs in the aquatic environment

We review the current methods developed for the analysis of legal and illegal drugs (LIDs) and their metabolites in environmental samples. We discuss the advantages and the pitfalls of multi-class methods with emphasis on new strategies for sample preparation and recent technical developments.

The embodiment of wastewater data for the estimation of illicit drug consumption in Spain
2021
Data obtained from wastewater analysis can provide rapid and complementary insights in illicit drug consumption at community level. Within Europe, Spain is an important country of transit of both cocaine and cannabis. The quantity of seized drugs and prevalence of their use rank Spain at the top of Europe. Hence, the implementation of a wastewater monitoring program at national level would help to get better understanding of spatial differences and trends in use of illicit drugs. In this study, a national wastewater campaign was performed for the first time to get more insight on the consumption of illicit drugs within Spain. The 13 Spanish cities monitored cover approximately 6 million inh…
