Amyloid in Alzheimer’s Disease: Guilty Beyond Reasonable Doubt?
2017
Recently failed antiamyloidogenic trials call for an objective reassessment of the dominating amyloid cascade hypothesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Ongoing efforts focusing on amyloid β protein (Aβ), its deposition, and its removal need to be complemented by more intensive research in new directions. Those may either integrate amyloid pathology or will propose pathogenetic routes independent of Aβ in the search for the causes of AD.
IL PROBLEMA DELLA RILEVANZA PENALE DELLA COLTIVAZIONE DI PIANTE DA STUPEFACENTI TRA OFFENSIVITA' E RAGIONEVOLEZZA
2021
The problem of criminal relevance of cultivation of narcotic plants can be considered an interesting opportunity to evaluate the interaction, on the interpretative level, related to the principles of harmfulness and reasonableness, understood as balancing criterion between opposite values. The author examines two jurisprudential interpretative ways to exclude the punishability for small “domestic” cultivations of narcotic plants. The first attempt was to contest the constitutional legitimacy of Article 75 of the d.P.R. 309/1990, because it doesn’t include, as an administrative offence, minimal cultivations for the purpose of personal consumption. The second attempt was to exclude any puniti…
Disparities in Accessing Sexual and Reproductive Health Services at the Intersection of Disability and Female Adolescence in Tanzania
2021
Despite at times having greater needs for sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, adolescents with disabilities often face challenges when trying to access them. This inaccessibility is further exacerbated during female adolescence. The qualitative study examines how SRH services respond to the characteristics of Tanzanian adolescent females with disabilities. We used the method of empathy-based stories to investigate the perceptions of 136 adolescent females with disabilities of their access to SRH services in Tanzania. The study used thematic content analysis and the Levesque model of health care access was applied as an analytical framework. The results demonstrate that discrimina…
Court Interpreting 2009: an undervalued and misunderstood profession? Or: will justice speak?
2010
The article addresses a number of topical issues relating to court interpreting. After examining a number of issues discussed among US interpreters in July 2009, it considers the provision of court interpreting in a number of different English-speaking jurisdictions, including the position of agencies. It presents the cost of a lack of judicial awareness of the issues involved in providing competent interpreting in legal proceedings, and looks at how rare languages are dealt with in the United States. It examines best practice and how this can quickly turn into worst practice. It considers the situation in Canada’s Province of Ontario, where a class action has been brought against the Minis…
Alle radici della ragionevolezza. A partire dalle lezioni di Rawls sull'imperativo categorico ad Harvard
2018
Re-reading Rawls’ Introduction to the paperback edition of Political Liberalism for an understanding of the “kantian turn”. Difference between the “political conception of justice”and the pluralism of rea- sonable comprehensive doctrines. The relation between the criterion of reciprocity, reasonable (as intrinsic normative and moral ideal) and categorical imperative. This problem refers to the possibility of an interpretation of the original position in light of the reasonable. Primary goods and the “conception of free personality” as normative connotations of a constitutional democracy. Beginning with Ra- wls’teaching on categorical imperative in the Lectures at Harvard University.
Mutamento del giudice e rinnovazione della prova: la Corte costituzionale esorbita dai confini accusatori
2020
The “Judge of the laws” delivers to the Parliament punctuals directives to give concreteness to the reasonable duration of the trial. What is at stake is the right to renew the evidence in the event of a change of the judge, which is drastically reduced to prevent it from being used merely for dilatory purposes. The Author criticizes the decision in question, fearing a dangerous drift: the renewal only of the “useful” evidence.
La ragionevole durata del processo civile: uno studio di diritto comparato
2021
Il volume indaga il tema della ragionevole durata del processo civile, ponendo a raffronto le principali riforme adottate in Italia e in Inghilterra per ridurre i ritardi della giustizia nazionale in linea con l’art. 6 Cedu. La trattazione prende in esame l’assetto normativo e rimediale di ciascuno dei sistemi giuridici considerati guardando, in prospettiva diacronica, alle fonti legislative e giurisprudenziali, nonché agli indicatori internazionali e alle nuove tecnologie digitali, che mirano all’efficienza processuale. Il quadro così tracciato mette in luce la differente declinazione della ragionevolezza dei tempi del processo nei due ordinamenti europei, in risposta alla necessità di gar…
La vía europea de la razón pública
2012
El futuro de Europa es una cuestión que aglutina todas las energías y recursos culturales, sin excluir a nadie. El elevado grado de conflictualidad presente en Europa se ha debido en buena parte a la consolidación de formas de vida nacionales, ligadas auna larga elaboración histórica en la que los aspectos religiosos y civiles se han entrelazado de modo inextricable. La amenaza representada por reivindicaciones de libertades despreocupadas del bien común invierte la óptica rawlsiana de la razón pública. ¿Cómo sociedades políticas preexistentes pueden acoger el pluralismo sin ser abrumadas por una progresiva e ineluctable fragmentación de la esfera pública?. La vía europea de la razón públic…
The defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in the Italian criminal justice system
2021
The criminal law standard of Beyond A Reasonable Doubt (BARD) constitutes an evidentiary and judicial rule, formulated and applied for centuries in common law jurisdictions, which was expressly stated in the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure only about fifteen years ago. Unfortunately, the concept of reasonable doubt is inherently complex and does not easily lend itself to definition or refinement. In this regard, the Author examines especially the various positions and elaborations developed by legal literature and case-law in Italy, proposing a specific interpretation of the BARD rule that enhances and completes the particular procedural connotations of the adversarial system adopted i…
A free plate model can predict guided modes propagating in tubular bone-mimicking phantoms
2014
The goal of this work was to show that a non-absorbing free plate model can predict with a reasonable accuracy guided modes measured in bone-mimicking phantoms that have circular cross-section. Experiments were carried out on uncoated and coated phantoms using a clinical axial transmission setup. Adjustment of the plate model to the experimental data yielded estimates for the waveguide characteristics (thickness, bulk wave velocities). Fair agreement was achieved over a frequency range of 0.4 to 1.6 MHz. A lower accuracy observed for the thinnest bone-mimicking phantoms was caused by limitations in the wave number measurements rather than by the model itself.
