Protection of trafficked people in Italy: policies, limits and challenges
2015
Purpose– The purpose of the article is to analyse the Italian anti-trafficking system by examining its effectiveness in the protection of trafficked people.Design/methodology/approach– The article examines the protection of trafficked people in Italy, focusing in particular on the implementation of Article 18 of the “Consolidated Act of Measures Governing Immigration and Norms on the Condition of Foreign Citizens” (Legislative Decree n. 286/1998), which provides victims with protection and a residence permit independent of their cooperation with the competent authorities in criminal proceedings against offenders.Findings– The article demonstrates that, though the Italian legal framework on …
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. In light of these forecasts, we asked ourselves whether the risk of coronavirus infection should be taken into account by the employer by updating the risk assessment or not. An in-depth analysis of current legislation has led to the conclusion that the biological risk from SARS-CoV-2 is to be considered specific only in health-related activities, in other activities it can be …
Overdiagnosis and overimaging: an ethical issue for radiological protection
2019
Aims and objectives: This study aimed to analyse the key factors that influence the overimaging using X-ray such as self-referral, defensive medicine and duplicate imaging studies and to emphasize the ethical problem that derives from it. Materials and methods: In this study, we focused on the more frequent sources of overdiagnosis such as the total-body CT, proposed in the form of screening in both public and private sector, the choice of the most sensitive test for each pathology such as pulmonary embolism, ultrasound investigations mostly of the thyroid and of the prostate and MR examinations, especially of the musculoskeletal system. Results: The direct follow of overdiagnosis and overi…
New trends for eliminating land-based pollution in the Mediterranean Sea
2002
En este capítulo estudio todos los instrumentos para la protección del medio marino, tanto políticos como jurídicos, adoptados a escala mediterránea con motivo de la revisión llevada a cabo en el vigésimo aniversario del Plan de Acción para el Mediterráneo. El análisis lo centro en las disposiciones de todos estos instrumentos relativas a la eliminación de la contaminación de origen terrestre en el Mar Mediterráneo. In this chapter, I study all political and legal instruments for the protection of the marine environment, adopted at a Mediterranean level in the twenty anniversary of the Mediterranean Action Plan. In particular, I analysis the provisions of all these instruments concerning th…
La Carta Social Europea y los derechos sociales emergentes: una aproximación al derecho de acceso a la información ambiental
2021
La protección de los derechos sociales constituye, hoy en día, un fin primordial, y en Europa, la Carta Social Europea Revisada juega un papel relevante como guardiana del modelo del Estado social, como verdadera Constitución Social de Europa y como el estándar de protección más elevado de los derechos sociales, en general, y de los derechos sociales emergentes, en particular. Así, resulta de especial interés estudiar el derecho de acceso a la información ambiental como derecho social emergente derivado, en gran parte, del genérico derecho a un medio ambiente sano. Este derecho se puede definir, en términos muy simples, como el derecho del público en general a recibir información relacionad…

Solutions for the Design and Increasing of Efficiency of Viscous Dampers
2016
In last decades many strategies for seismic vulnerability mitigation of structures have been studied and experimented; in particular energy dissipation by external devices assumes a great importance for the relative simplicity and efficacy. Among all possible approaches the use of fluid viscous dampers are very interesting, because of their velocity-dependent behaviour and relatively low costs. Application on buildings requires a specific study under seismic excitation and a particular attention on structural details. Nevertheless seismic codes give only general information and in most case the design of a such protection systems results difficult; this problem is relevant also in Italy whe…
Zagrożenie upraw kukurydzy szkodnikiem Diabrotica virgifera (w oparciu o monitoring prowadzony na obszarze wybranych gmin województwa opolskiego)
2018
Powiększający się z roku na rok areał kukurydzy w Polsce, stwarza idealne warunki do rozwoju wielu agrofagów. Do najgroźniejszych z nich należy zachodnia kukurydziana stonka korzeniowa Diabrotica virgifera Le Conte, która z powodu specyficznego sposobu żerowania powoduje bardzo duże straty plonu. Do 6 lutego 2014 roku stonka posiadała status organizmu kwarantannowego i inwazyjnego na terenie całej Unii Europejskiej, w tym także w Polsce. Ocenę zagrożenia upraw przez szkodnika, przeprowadzono w latach 2012-2013 na obszarze dwóch miejscowości Zopowy i Lubotyń (gminy Głubczyce i Kietrz), a następnie porównano je z badaniami monitoringowymi prowadzonymi przez Państwową Inspekcję Ochrony Roślin …
The importance of a highly active and DeltapH-regulated diatoxanthin epoxidase for the regulation of the PS II antenna function in diadinoxanthin cyc…
2005
The present study focuses on the regulation of diatoxanthin (Dtx) epoxidation in the diadinoxanthin (Ddx) cycle containing algae Phaeodactylum tricornutum, Thalassiosira pseudonana, Cyclotella meneghiniana and Prymnesium parvum and its significance for the control of the photosystem II (PS II) antenna function. Our data show that Dtx epoxidase can exhibit extremely high activities when algal cells are transferred from high light (HL) to low light (LL). Under HL conditions, Dtx epoxidation is strongly inhibited by the light-driven proton gradient. Uncoupling of the cells during HL illumination restores the high epoxidation rates observed during LL. In Ddx cycle containing algae, non-photoche…
