Clinical manifestations of head and neck cancer in pediatric patients, an analysis of 253 cases in a single Brazilian center
2021
Pediatric head and neck cancer (PHNC) is rare and its nonspecific clinical manifestations may often lead to delayed diagnosis. We aimed to describe the signs, symptoms, and clinicopathological characteristics of PHNC. Medical records were retrospectively reviewed for all PHNC cases diagnosed from 1986 to 2016 affecting patients aged 19-years and younger from a tertiary referral center in Brazil. Demographic variables, anatomical site of primary tumors, histopathological diagnoses, signs and symptoms, and patterns of misdiagnosis were collected and interpreted by statistical and descriptive analysis. A total of 253 PHNC cases were included. The mean age was 9.3 years and male patients were m…

Indulto y Poder Judicial: ¿Un instrumento para la realización de la Justicia?
2017
El indulto no es un vestigio histórico. su reconocimiento en la totalidad de los textos constitucionales de nuestra historia, advierte la existencia de una necesidad que es satisfecha por el indulto, con independencia del momento en el que se haya aplicado. el indulto ex- presa el desajuste entre la norma penal y la justicia, que solo puede tener su remedio con el otorgamiento de la gracia. Pero la admisibilidad del indulto exige el pleno so- metimiento a la ley y al principio de legalidad, desde un ejercicio restrictivo y excepcional, por tratarse de una potestad extraordinaria, pues determina una alteración de los principios constitucionales. y sólo en la medida que sea el Poder Judicial …
(De)legitimating electronic surveillance : a critical discourse analysis of the Finnish news coverage of the Edward Snowden revelations
2017
In 2013, ex-National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Edward Snowden shocked the world by revealing the American NSA’s (and its partners’) extensive surveillance programs. The ensuing media discussion became a focal point for the justification and contestation of surveillance in the digital age. This article contributes to the growing body of literature on the discursive construction of surveillance, concentrating on how the practice is (de)legitimized. Methodologically, the paper draws on Critical Discourse Studies, applying the concept of discourse and utilizing insights from Van Leeuwen’s categories of legitimation and social actor representation. The data come from the media coverage of…

State Sovereignty: Balancing Effectiveness and Legality/Legitimacy
2018
This chapter aims to examine one of the most interesting topics in the contemporary internationalist debate, namely the crisis of effectiveness as the ultimate or sufficient criterion for achieving statehood and territorial sovereignty. Since the 1970s the perception that international law can no longer accept social reality as it is but promotes and imposes standards of justice and common values has become increasingly widespread. More recently, the ensuing discussion between realists and legalists emerged as one of the central topics addressed within the framework of the advisory procedure concerning Kosovo’s declaration of independence. By discussing and critically appraising the normati…
Recent Anti-Mafia Strategies: The Italian Experience
2008
We often tend to think of criminal policies as essentially repressive. At first sight this assumption seems to apply straightforwardly in the case of policies against organized crime, especially those targeted at mafia type organizations. However, experience shows that these criminal organizations can be fought successfully also by means of measures which are not in themselves repressive, albeit they aim to favour repression in the last resort. Together with direct repressive measures, in the Italian case we indeed register a wide variety of other policies addressing civil society and public administrations, and only indirectly the mafia. Indirect strategies, therefore, are aimed at the rei…
The Sirocco's chamber of Micciulla manor in Palermo : a bioclimatic archetype symbol of legality and civil redemption
2019
La Camera dello scirocco di fondo Micciulla è uno degli oltre trenta esemplari di un antesignano sistema di raffrescamento passivo ipogeo, diffusosi a Palermo tra il XVII e il XVIII secolo. Grotte artificiali scavate al di sotto o in prossimità delle dimore palermitane presso le quali i ricchi signori si rifugiavano per sfuggire alle elevate temperature estive, rese spesso insopportabili dal caldo vento africano di Scirocco. Tra tutte, la Camera dello Scirocco di fondo Micciulla è forse la più nota non solo per la sua particolare e unica struttura “a cielo aperto”, ma anche e soprattutto per i trascorsi storici ad essa legati. Il presente contributo intende ripercorrere le fasi più signific…
