Beyond Scientific Objectivity : Knowing about Right and Wrong
2007
Our way of seeing things depends upon the state of our minds. We can look at the world through the lenses of love, hate or indifference. What remains largely unquestioned about science is its essence. Scientific objectivity is not free from subjectivity. I argue that objective, scientific knowledge is a partial knowledge based on indifference, the state of mind that constitutes the scientific attitude. Hate does not produce knowledge at all, but reinforces our prejudices. However, love gives the possibility of knowing someone or something fully, and not only as an object. Once we accept that our experiences, thoughts, and feelings are not incommunicable, we can arrive at inter-subjective an…
Arts. 34-40 EIR
2016
The comments on Arts. 34-40 of EU Regulation 2015/848 deal with opening of secondary insolvency proceedings. These comments systematically tackle the prerequisites required for the opening of secondary insolvency proceedings, the relationship between main and secondary proceedings and the duties of cooperation that are put on the courts and the insolvency practitioners of both main and secondary proceedings. A particular attention is devoted to the introduction of the so-called “Undertaking to Avoid the Opening of Secondary Insolvency Proceedings” (Art. 36).
Impact of analytic provenance in genome analysis
2014
Background Many computational methods are available for assembly and annotation of newly sequenced microbial genomes. However, when new genomes are reported in the literature, there is frequently very little critical analysis of choices made during the sequence assembly and gene annotation stages. These choices have a direct impact on the biologically relevant products of a genomic analysis - for instance identification of common and differentiating regions among genomes in a comparison, or identification of enriched gene functional categories in a specific strain. Here, we examine the outcomes of different assembly and analysis steps in typical workflows in a comparison among strains of Vi…
Fattispecie indennitaria e danno da processo penale
2017
L’indennizzo per i danni del processo penale è inquadrato nell’ambito della responsabilità da attività lecita della pubblica amministrazione. Nel diritto amministrativo la concezione “assistenzialistica”, ispirata a un regime di specialità, si affianca a un modello fondato sul paradigma civilistico, con influenze derivanti dalla responsabilità dell’imprenditore da rischio, ovvero dalle molteplici fattispecie di responsabilità oggettiva. Spesso il parametro indennitario si confonde con quello risarcitorio extracontrattuale o precontrattuale. In alcuni casi, gli sviluppi della fattispecie pongono l’accento sulla “tutela dell’affidamento” del privato o sulla «colpa di apparato». Analoghe forme…
Conflicts of Jurisdiction in Criminal Proceedings in Europe: Between Bis In Idem and Lis Pendens
2019
The purpose of this paper is to highlight the main issues concerning conflicts of jurisdiction within the EU, also from an italian perspective . The reason of conflicts of jurisdiction’s increase lies in the non-full application of the territoriality criterion, but especially in the transformation of criminality: the opening of borders and free movement of people, as well as the using of IT tools, can cause a fragmentation, among different countries, in the commission of crimes. The discussion on the overlap of proceedings for the same facts involving the same person revolves around various sources of law. Because of interpretative difficulties, many questions regarding conflicts of jurisdi…
Predictive diagnostics and personalized medicine for the prevention of chronic degenerative diseases
2010
Abstract Progressive increase of mean age and life expectancy in both industrialized and emerging societies parallels an increment of chronic degenerative diseases (CDD) such as cancer, cardiovascular, autoimmune or neurodegenerative diseases among the elderly. CDD are of complex diagnosis, difficult to treat and absorbing an increasing proportion in the health care budgets worldwide. However, recent development in modern medicine especially in genetics, proteomics, and informatics is leading to the discovery of biomarkers associated with different CDD that can be used as indicator of disease’s risk in healthy subjects. Therefore, predictive medicine is merging and medical doctors may for t…
Skutki tzw. postępowania incydentalnego w słowackim prawie restrukturyzacyjnym
2019
This study is devoted to the analysis of Slovak restructuring law limited to the interpretation of § 124 sec. 6 ZoKR. The provisions of Slovak law in relation to claims reported but not recognized in the restructuring proceedings allow creditors to bring legal action against the debtor, under the so-called incidental action. The effects of the court’s decision issued after conducting such proceedings are set out in § 124 sec. 6 ZoKR. The content of the study presents arguments for the thesis that the term “ne mozno voci dlznikovi vymahat”, as used in § 124 para. 6 ZoKR, carries a substantive effect of the expiry of the claim, but as a result of the court’s recognition of the case in an inci…
Wygaśnięcie roszczenia jako następstwo braku zgłoszenia wierzytelności w słowackim prawie restrukturyzacyjnym
2019
This study is devoted to the analysis of Slovak restructuring law limited to the interpretation of § 120 sec. 1 ZoKR, which introduces a very interesting legal structure. It is not permissible to recover from the debtor – after initiation of Slovak restructuring proceedings –claims arising before the initiation of the proceedings in the other way than in restructuring proceedings. Upon completing the restructuring proceedings and approving the restructuring plan, the regulations preclude the pursuit of claims from the debtor by those creditors who did not submit their claims in the restructuring proceedings, because the debtor’s obligation becomes incomplete. Used in § 120 sec. 1 ZoKR, the …

Community-driven computational biology with Debian Linux
2011
Background The Open Source movement and its technologies are popular in the bioinformatics community because they provide freely available tools and resources for research. In order to feed the steady demand for updates on software and associated data, a service infrastructure is required for sharing and providing these tools to heterogeneous computing environments. Results The Debian Med initiative provides ready and coherent software packages for medical informatics and bioinformatics. These packages can be used together in Taverna workflows via the UseCase plugin to manage execution on local or remote machines. If such packages are available in cloud computing environments, the underlyin…
