Overcoming married women’s incapacity under The Spanish Civil code
2018
La mujer ha sido marginada por el derecho civil español desde la redacción original del Código Civil de 1889, mediante sus diversas disposiciones discriminatorias, sustentadas en la protección de la mujer, equiparada con una persona incapacitada. El Código Civil español experimentó un largo y difícil recorrido, lleno de sucesivas reformas que contribuyeron a un ascenso satisfactorio de la mujer en el derecho civil. El presente artículo se enfoca en cuatro conceptos: la situación jurídica de la mujer en el siglo XIX, la igualdad de la mujer en la II República, el modelo franquista y la llegada de la democracia a España. Conjugados, todos los elementos son una herramienta para conocer en este…
The Inside Information Regime of the MAR and the Rise of the ESG Era
2020
The rise in ESG investing has been characterized as an “investor revolution” and a manifestation of “social change”. The current coronavirus pandemic will arguably intensify the impact of such social change, with the “S” and “G” components of ESG, in particular, having been brought into sharper focus during the crisis. The issue of the extent to which ESG factors are (currently) of considerable importance – and, in particular, are likely to become even more so in the future – for the performance of share prices remains a highly controversial one in financial economics. However, where an empirically substantiated effect of ESG-related information on the prices of financial instruments can be…

Family-student balance: a qualitative study about limitations of university mothers
2016
The balance between family and student life, viewed as the possibility of being a mother and university student at the same time, is still not seen as something usual in higher education. This leads to discrimination against student mothers compared with other students. In this study, using a qualitative, narrative-based methodology based on semi-structured interviews, we analysed the beliefs and attitudes of a total of 73 university students. They reflect on aspects of the academic career that restrict the student-family balance. The students’ opinions revealed the limitations on the possibilities of having children, included some proposals for improvements to the legislation, and their at…
Fossil heritage conservation in Scotland
2019
A globally significant palaeontological resource is an integral part of Scotland’s geoheritage. A strong amateur collector tradition, extending back over two centuries has helped fuel scientific advance with the fossil resource also supporting hobby collecting. However, during the long history of collecting activity, finite fossil resources have been under pressure with instances of large-scale collecting that has damaged some particularly vulnerable localities. Legislative provisions over recent decades offer robust site-based protection that will have safeguarded some of the best and most representative fossil localities. Additionally, the Scottish Fossil Code, the first national code of …

The Evaluation of Public Managers’ Performances in the Light of Italian Public Administration Reform
2011
One of the most important element in the analysis of public administration’s performances is the management. In fact it is the connection point between objectives (fixed at political level) and the system of outputs and outcomes, achieved by public personnel at different levels. This is the main reason why during the last decades, the reform of Italian public administration has concentrated on improving public action performances, by a regulation of public management and the connected introduction of two key words: autonomy and accountability. This means that managers should be endowed of greater autonomy in the execution of their managerial activities and, at the same time, they are fully …
Considerations on the Update of the Risk Assessment Document During the Pandemic State by COVID-19 in Italy
2021
Immediately after the outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic (which had risen to the level of a pandemic according to the World Health Organization), the question arose whether or not to update the risk assessment, which, as required by Legislative Decree 81/2008, with the consequent updating of the prevention measures.

This chapter aims to explore how the main legislation affecting the Spanish financial system evolved over the course of the 20th century.
