Interferenze e convergenze fra prostituzione e tratta nelle recenti proposte di incriminazione del cliente

2017

Il sesso a pagamento è un fenomeno fortemente eterogeneo: se la prostituzione volontaria è rivendicata come scelta dai c.d. sex worker, proprio lo sfruttamento sessuale costituisce una delle principali attività di lucro per i gruppi criminali che operano nel traffico di esseri umani. Di recente, in Europa, sembra riscuotere un certo successo la convinzione che l’incriminazione del cliente possa scoraggiare la « domanda » di persone da utilizzare nel mercato dello sfruttamento sessuale: oltre al modello svedese che punisce il cliente tout court, nella direttiva anti-trafficking si invitano gli Stati membri ad introdurre norme penali contro il cliente consapevole della condizione di soggiogam…

Electrophysiological evidence for change detection in speech sound patterns by anesthetized rats

2014

Human infants are able to detect changes in grammatical rules in a speech sound stream. Here, we tested whether rats have a comparable ability by using an electrophysiological measure that has been shown to reflect higher order auditory cognition even before it becomes manifested in behavioral level. Urethane-anesthetized rats were presented with a stream of sequences consisting of three pseudowords carried out at a fast pace. Frequently presented “standard” sequences had 16 variants which all had the same structure. They were occasionally replaced by acoustically novel “deviant” sequences of two different types: structurally consistent and inconsistent sequences. Two stimulus conditions we…

The Role of Individual and Relational Characteristics on Alcohol Consumption among Italian Adolescents: A Discriminant Function Analysis

2013

The aim of the present study was to explore the association between family functioning, coping strategies, peer influences and alcohol use among Italian adolescents. Nine hundred and sixty-three Italian adolescents, aged from 14 to 17 years, completed self-report measures assessing alcohol use, family functioning, and coping strategies. According to previous research, adolescents were categorized into non-drinkers, social, binge and heavy drinkers. Results showed that adolescents belonging to groups characterized by alcohol misuse differ in terms of coping strategies, family functioning dimensions, and typology of friends. In particular, heavy drinkers appeared to have more friends who drin…

Trust in the educational partnership narrated by parents of a child with challenging behaviour

2019

This study examined trust in educational partnership in the context of early childhood education and care (ECEC) in Finland, from the viewpoint of parents of a child with challenging behaviour. Typically, such children have difficulties in regulating their behaviour and emotions. Semi-structured interviews with 23 parents were content-analysed in a narrative framework. The analysis revealed two critical elements of trust in educational partnership: (1) Child well-being in the day care centre, and (2) a supportive parent–educator relationship and collaboration. Critical factors in the first element of trust were educators’ respectful and good-quality relationships with the child and fair and…

The Recent Italian Reform on "Eco-crimes"

2021

The law 22 May 2015 n. 68 on eco-crimes constitutes an "epochal" turning point for environmental criminal law. The paper analyzes the main innovations of the reform, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses, both from the point of view of the theoretical "holding" of the regulatory solutions adopted, and with regard to their concrete effectiveness, in terms of strengthening the overall level of protection of the 'environment.

Multiple morphological characters needed for field identification of cryptic long‐eared bat species around the Swiss Alps

2010

The identification of cryptic species may significantly change our view about their distribution, abundance, ecology and therefore conservation status. In the European Alps, molecular studies have revealed the existence of three sibling species of plecotine bats Plecotus auritus, Plecotus austriacus and, very recently, Plecotus macrobullaris. Knowledge of the ecological niche partitioning of cryptic species is a requisite to develop sound conservation policies. Yet, this requests the development of unambiguous identification methods easily applicable in the field. This study investigates the reliability of several morphological methods used for species recognition and proposes a new identif…

Discrimination based on place of residence and access to employment

2014

International audience; The purpose of this study is to assess the degree of employment discrimination against young people according to their place of residence. We considered several spatial scales in order to measure the effect of the reputation of the administrative department or county, the town or municipality and of the local neighbourhood. The evaluation is performed using correspondence test data carried out between October 2011 and February 2012. We studied 2988 candidacies that were submitted to 498 job offers (waiters and cooks) within the restaurant industry and located in the Paris area. Statistical and econometric results pointed out that resident effect is significant and im…

Unwanted effects of European Union environmental policy to promote a post-carbon industry. The case of energy in the European ceramic tile sector

2016

Global warming combined with low carbon transition plans is threatening the future of high energy consumption industry sectors in the European Union (EU). The need to respond to environmental challenges is demonstrated by support for international level energy policies and legal requirements, such as the Kyoto Protocol which the EU supports, and increased EU-level environmental legislation and energy policies. The effect of these initiatives is gradually transforming industrial activities in the EU. However, since not all countries have adopted these policies, evaluation of their net effect needs to take account also of side-effects such as delocalization of industry activity and the legal …
