Victims at the Central African Republic's Special Criminal Court
2021
The Central African Republic's Special Criminal Court (SCC), the latest hybrid criminal tribunal, may be considered an important legal development concerning victims of mass atrocities in international criminal justice mechanisms due to certain characteristics. Yet there is no academic commentary on victims at the SCC; this piece seeks to fill the gap. First it considers restorative justice as a general framework for victims’ roles and rights in criminal justice in contexts of mass atrocities. Second, victim matters at the SCC are examined: victim protection, victims as civil parties, and reparations. Overall, this paper argues that provisions on victims’ roles and rights contained in SCC i…
Solunto: dalla conoscenza alla conservazione
2016
Per l’antica città di Solunto (Santa Flavia-Palermo), solo alla fine del XVIII sec., inizia un processo di analisi finalizzato alla sua conservazione, mediante tutela e restauro, che prosegue fino ai nostri giorni. Pertanto il mio saggio vuole essere un contributo per conoscere e meglio conservare questo patrimonio rappresentato da materiali e strutture, attraverso continue cure, al fine di assicurare vita alla vita delle testimonianze, per la nostra generazione, ma soprattutto per quelle che ci seguiranno. To the ancient city of Solunto (Santa Flavia-Palermo), only in the late Eighteenth century, begins a process of analysis aimed at its preservation, through protection and restoration, wh…
Le pouvoir royal (1814-1848). A la recherche du quatrième pouvoir ?
2021
This work sheds light on the representations of royal power that confronted each other until 1848 to fulfil the programme of reconciliation of the "two France" wanted by Louis XVIII. They are divided between the desire to return to the Ancien Régime and the attempt to renew the royal function. Opposed to the ultraroyalists, the supporters of this original path wished to consecrate liberal constitutionalism by resorting to an unexpected expedient, the power of the King, which had to be remodelled. As with Constant and Dunoyer, it was a question of creating a fourth power with its own essence and a new mission: to watch over the institutions. This regulating or preserving power produced a pas…
A Territorial Contradiction
2014
Spatial planning and environmental restoration are essential corollaries to the management of protected natural areas; however, without a sound awareness of the evolutionary consistency of biocoenoses, the harmonious integration between human activities and ecosystem preservation remains an unattainable utopia. The theorisation of a balanced welfare, inspired by the universal tendency of ecosystems to reach a steady state, has to go along with the defection from any economic greed. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015.
Determining the potential impacts of fire and different land uses on splash erosion in the margins of drylands
2021
Abstract This research aimed to estimate the splash erosion and its evolution during the first months in specific land uses after a forest fire. The study area was located in Congosto (North-West Spain), in the margins of Spanish drylands, after a wildfire occurred in May 2012, which burned 15.56 ha of scrubland and Pinus reforestation. Two different burned land uses were selected and compared to control areas: i) burned pine forest; and, scrublands. Rainfall intensity and the number, sizes and speed of raindrops were measured by an optical disdrometer and soil loss by funnels. Moreover, infiltration, soil moisture content, aggregate stability, water repellence, pH and organic matter were a…
Fully Bayesian Approach to Image Restoration with an Application in Biogeography
1994
SUMMARY A common method of studying biogeographical ranges is an atlas survey, in which the research area is divided into a square grid and the data consist of the squares where observations occur. Often the observations form only an incomplete map of the true range, and a method is required to decide whether the blank squares indicate true absence or merely a lack of study there. This is essentially an image restoration problem, but it has properties that make the common empirical Bayesian procedures inadequate. Most notably, the observed image is heavily degraded, causing difficulties in the estimation of spatial interaction, and the assessment of reliability of the restoration is emphasi…
Del escepticismo al entusiasmo en mediación penal, de la “Restorative Justice” a la “Reconstructive Justice” (Referencia especial al Estatuto Jurídic…
2014
Spanish Abstract: En la ya larga historia del Derecho Penal se ha venido anudando la ideologia politica y la concepcion de Estado con los postulados politicos y juridicos que conformaron en el Siglo XIX el denominado Derecho Penal clasico. Desde esos postulados el Derecho Penal asumia un papel retributivo, primero, y preventivo , despues, si bien la evolucion politica, juridica y social, e incluso economica, ha modulado algunos de aquellos postulados, incorporando, desde finales del Siglo XX, algunas practicas restaurativas. Asi, aun conservando respuestas preventivas mas o menos represiva, con ciertos tintes utilitaristas de la pena , la justicia restaurativa ha ido adentrandose en la mayo…
Geometric deformation measurement and correction applied to dynamic streak camera images
2002
The complete procedure of measuring and correcting geometric deformations encountered with dynamic streak camera images in the picosecond range is presented and discussed. First, we describe the experimental setup derived from the well known spacing calibration grid method. The implemented measurement bench, adapted to time-resolved 1D imaging, notably exhibits a great accuracy and repeatability both in space and time thanks to a three-axis motorized translation stage and programmable delay lines. Second, we examine image restoration by two different analytical transform means (local versus global): results and performances of both are compared. Then we deal with final image reconstruction …
Changes in habitat structure, benthic invertebrate diversity, trout populations and ecosystem processes in restored forest streams: a boreal perspect…
2007
SUMMARY 1. Most Finnish streams were channelised during the 19th and 20th century to facilitate timber floating. By the late 1970s, extensive programmes were initiated to restore these degraded streams. The responses of fish populations to restoration have been little studied, however, and monitoring of other stream biota has been negligible. In this paper, we review results from a set of studies on the effects of stream restoration on habitat structure, brown trout populations, benthic macroinvertebrates and leaf retention. 2. In general, restoration greatly increased stream bed heterogeneity. The cover of mosses in channelised streams was close to that of unmodified reference sites, but a…
Enfisema subcutáneo durante tratamiento restaurador: caso clínico
2006
El enfisema subcutáneo es una complicación poco frecuente en la práctica odontológica, que ha ido en aumento debido al uso de instrumentos con aire a presión. Muchos de los casos no son reconocidos o presentan un diagnóstico errado. La mayor parte de los pacientes con esta complicación presentan resolución espontánea, sin embargo algunos pueden evolucionar con complicaciones que ponen en peligro la vida. Aquí presentamos un caso de enfisema subcutáneo ocurrido durante un procedimiento restaurador de rutina. El diagnóstico diferencial y el manejo de esta condición son discutidos. Subcutaneous emphysema is a relatively rare complication of dental treatment, although increasingly due to the us…
