Domain specific language for securities settlement systems
2012
Actual problems during design, implementation and maintenance of securities settlement systems software are achieving complementarity of several different, connected, asynchronously communicating settlement systems and verification of this complementarity. The aim of this paper is to create domain specific language for modeling of settlement systems and their interactions. Then use models to calculate settlement systems behavior. Specific of settlement systems requires that they perform accordingly to business rules in any situation. This makes use of model checking a very desirable step in development process of settlement systems. Defining a domain specific language and creating editor su…
Heritage and the anti-city. Pizzo Sella in Palermo between modern ruins tourism and civic reappropriation
2022
Tutte le nozioni di patrimonio mettono in risonanza i valori della memoria e quelli dell'ambiente antropizzato, poiché entrambi sono intesi come duraturi. Riferendosi al caso iconico della collina di Pizzo Sella a Palermo, questo lavoro affronta il legame peculiare che in questo caso si esprime tra patrimonio, paesaggio e turismo. Per interrogarsi sul modo in cui tale legame segna il rapporto di una comunità con il suo passato, questo contributo si concentra su una nozione critica di patrimonio, inteso come sistema da riconoscere nel costruito dei territori del conflitto fra Stato e criminalità. Questi luoghi, a lungo sotto il controllo delle organizzazioni criminali mafiose, oggi sono prof…

2019
The paper analyzes with criticism the riks, challenges and doubts that may arise as a result of the implementation of the DAC6 directive, relating to the obligation of tax intermediaries to disclose information on certain tax schemes to the tax administration at the moment of assistance and implementation of the scheme. It reveals the inconsistencies and the potential break of some fundamental freedoms of taxpayers and intermediaries and suggests mechanisms, tips and tools to improve it.
Post-Mortem Investigations for the Diagnosis of Sepsis: A Review of Literature
2020
To date, sepsis is still one of the most important causes of death due to the difficulties concerning the achievement of a correct diagnosis. As well as in a clinical context, also in a medico-legal setting the diagnosis of sepsis can reveal challenging due to the unspecificity of the signs detected during autopsies, especially when no ante-mortem clinical data, laboratory, and cultural results are available. Thus, a systematic review of literature was performed to provide an overview of the main available and updated forensic tools for the post-mortem diagnosis of sepsis. Moreover, the aim of this review was to evaluate whether a marker or a combination of markers exist, specific enough to…

Passion and prejudice in research
1997
In every country examined, there are far fewer women in senior positions in science than the number who begin a career in research — and those who do achieve success are paid less than their male colleagues. Irrespective of gender, the distribution of grants for scientific research is grossly skewed in favour of the few at the expense of the many. And members of some ethnic minority groups tend not even to begin careers in research. Why are these discriminatory practices tolerated, and what (if anything) is being done to change this state of affairs?
Optional Learning Opportunities
2018
The effects of offering and seizing optional learning opportunities rarely have been investigated. Thus, university instructors have no basis on which to decide whether offering optional learning opportunities to their students would be worth the effort and which students would seize and benefit from them. To target these questions, we designed a teaching−learning format in which we offered psychology undergraduates optional learning opportunities throughout the semester. We investigated the cognitive and motivational prerequisites of N=108 students who seized versus forwent the learning opportunities and compared their learning outcomes both with and without controlling for prerequisites.…
A new look at the meeting clustering effect
2021
PurposeThe study aims to test the existence of a meeting clustering effect in the Spanish Stock Exchange (SSE).Design/methodology/approachThis paper studies the relationship between the clustering of annual general meetings and stock returns in the SSE. A multivariate analysis is carried out in order to analyse the relationship between monthly returns and the clustering of general meetings in the SSE.FindingsThe authors show that meeting clustering exists and that some months exhibit significant and positive additional returns related to the holding of ordinary or extraordinary general meetings.Research limitations/implicationsThe authors have explored some possible explanations for the mee…
Myocardial bridge pathology and preventable accidents during physical activity of healthy subjects: A case report and a literature review.
2020
Myocardial bridging is a congenital coronary pathology described as a segment of coronary artery which courses through the myocardial wall under the muscle bridge. Although the prognosis of myocardial bridging is benign, sports medicine recognises myocardial bridging as a leading cause of sudden death among young basketball, football and soccer players. The authors report a case of a 42-year-old man who collapsed while playing football. He died notwithstanding prompt medical assistance and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. At autopsy, gross examination of the heart revealed the intramural course of the left anterior descending coronary artery to be 2 cm from its coronary ostial origin. Histol…
Precedentes medievales de la medicina legal: la "dessospitació" en el Reino de Valencia
2000
El objetivo de este trabajo es clarificar, basándonos en las aportaciones de diversos autores, en la legislación foral y en la documentación que hemos ido recopilando, el significado del cargo de dessospitador, cuyo cometido podría ser similar al del actual forense, su proceso de configuración, funciones que le eran asignadas, tanto en el campo jurídico como en las relaciones interprofesionales, donde, en determinadas ocasiones, podía llevar a cabo un arbitraje, etc., todo ello contextualizado, en el ámbito de la Corona de Aragón y, de forma más específica, en el Reino de Valencia.
