Supervening impossibility of the provision of sports training and coaching due to the 'coronavirus'

2021

The paper analyses the situation of the contracts to provide services that persons or sport organisations agree with their students in the context of expanded health crisis worldwide caused by the coronavirus. Given the diverse background of the readers, reference to specific national or local regulations will be avoided. Instead, general principles of the service contract contained in some studies that have dealt with the transnational harmonisation of private law are considered.

Investor Protection and Business Creation

2003

We study the effects of investor protection on the availability of external finance, entrepreneurship, and creation of new firms in an equilibrium search model of private capital markets. In addition to search frictions, we examine contract frictions, specifically interim and ex post moral hazard problems stemming from entrepreneurs' possibilities to expropriate financiers. In our model, the government chooses the level of investor protection that determines the transferability of match surplus between entrepreneurs and financiers. The results indicate that anything that increases (decreases) entrepreneurship also increases (decreases) the creation of start-ups. The effect of investor prote…

One House for €1: Case Studies on the Governance of Abandoned Properties in Small Villages

2021

Abstract This proposal aims at analyzing the Italian initiative “Case a 1 €” launched in 2009 for the preservation of abandoned goods, in Gangi, a small village near Palermo. The Municipality has put for sale the ruined houses for the symbolic prize of 1 €. As this initiative has been imitated by other municipalities in Italy and thus become a model, my intention is to explore how it works based on two different levels of investigation, in terms of: 1) contractual schemes (parties and respective rights and obligations) and 2) policy choices, comparing proposed and achieved goals by the administrations and the parties. Some relevant issues arise after 12 years: is the initiative an appropria…

La corruzione tra privati in Italia: un bilancio critico

2017

Benché nell’ordinamento italiano abbia origini ancora relativamente recenti (risalendo al 2002 la sua introduzione), la corruzione tra privati ha da ultimo acquisito un nuovo volto con il d.lgs. n. 38/2017, che - per uniformarla allo standard europeo di incriminazione - ne amplia la portata incriminatrice sia rispetto alla platea di soggetti attivi, sia all’anticipazione della condotta illecita. Il passaggio dalla formulazione originaria, limitata all’ambito societario, all’attuale estensione a tutti gli enti privati, risponde alle esigenze di irrobustire l’azione di contrasto al fenomeno corruttivo, che continua a presentare una pervasività tale nella realtà italiana da richiedere un impeg…

Association of Nursing Practice Environment on reported adverse events in private management hospitals: A cross‐sectional study

2021

Aims and objectives To examine the relationships between nurses' perceptions of their practice environment, other working conditions and reported adverse events in two private management hospitals. Background Patient safety is influenced by knowledge, available resources and the context in which nursing care is provided. In this sense, it has been found that certain work environments (e.g., workload, nurse turnover level, patient-to-nurse ratio, nurse staffing, nurse manager ability) influence patient outcomes. The association between nursing practice environment and reported adverse events has not been explored in private management hospitals. Design A cross-sectional study. The STROBE was…

Sobre la interiorización del espacio social

2009

The author explores the relationships between the exterior world and the inner world in the diverse types of messages and reproducing products of the mass media, analyzing the cultural roots, the ideological, political, and social features that these relationships show. The different reproducing cultural forms create passages and virtual spaces which mediates the space to link it with the inner life. Above all, the author finds that the meditating and informative processing of the public space has a direct link with the modern capitalism in its expansive and privatizing tendency, and it is essential to study today into depth the processes which connect the expansion pf cultural and informat…

Solidaires, unitaires, démocratiques (SUD) : renouveau du syndicalisme révolutionnaire ?

2004

After 20 years of trade‐union crisis, some new factors seem to be at work. SUD (Solidaires, unitaires, democratiques) is the most innovative grouping to have appeared on the union scene in recent years. Born in 1989 in the Post Office sector, it has risen to become the second most popular union at professional elections in France Telecom and the Post Office. SUD is involved in the G10 (‘Group of Ten’), which provides a common platform for certain independent unions. SUD favours new modes of intervention, a kind of ‘mobilisation unionism’ reminiscent of the CFDT's ‘autogestionnaire’ phase in the 1970s. Although still relatively marginal, SUD unions have been launched in the private sector. D…

Reversing the Trend: a Psychosocial Intervention on Young Immigrants in Sicily

2018

Intervention projects based on providing support for immigrants can offer a number of benefits with regard to the social inclusion of young immigrants. Therefore, the actions suggested in this proposal may not only create a network between institutions and the private sector capable of supporting the intervention of a host country, but may also help to reduce the risk of crime as well as advocating a sense of otherness and integration. The approach to the project, a psychosocial intervention carried out on four young Africans who reached Sicily after crossing the Sicilian Channel on a dilapidated boat, has chiefly been to provide the four individuals with the chance to revisit their origina…

El paisaje lingüístico de la migración en el barrio de Ruzafa (Valencia) : una mirada a través del tiempo

2021

Esta investigación estudia el paisaje lingüístico del barrio de Ruzafa en Valencia (España), conocido por su carácter multicultural y multilingüístico debido al establecimiento de población migrante en las últimas décadas del siglo XX y a su transformación en un espacio turístico como consecuencia del proceso de gentrificación en los primeros años del siglo XXI. El objetivo es explorar a través de los signos del paisaje lingüístico los cambios socio-demográficos desde un enfoque diacrónico y contrastivo. La metodología está basada en la utilización combinada de la herramienta Google Street View y con la toma de signos en los mismos espacios del barrio, con lo que se ha configurado un corpus…
