Journalists’ Associations as Political Instruments in Central and Eastern Europe

2017

This editorial provides the overall context for the five cases—three national and two international—covered in this thematic issue. While the cases are from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), they highlight fundamental questions of journalism everywhere, including contradictions between freedom and control, professionalism and politics, individual and collective. The associations of journalists serve as very useful platforms to study these questions, especially at historical turning points when the whole political system changed, as happened twice in CEE after World War II.

An infinite-horizon model of dynamic membership of international environmental agreements

2007

Abstract Much of the literature on international environmental agreements (IEAs) uses static models, although most important transboundary pollution problems involve stock pollutants. The few papers that study IEAs using models of stock pollutants do not allow for the possibility that membership of the IEA may change endogenously over time. In this paper we analyse a simple infinite-horizon version of the static model of self-enforcing IEAs, in which damage costs increase with the stock of pollution, and countries decide each period whether to join an IEA. Using a quadratic approximation of the value function of the representative country we show that there exists a steady-state stock of po…

Performance evaluation of non volatile memories with a low cost and portable automatic test equipment

2017

This paper presents a versatile and portable test equipment, called portable ATE for research and development of non-volatile memories functionalities. The system is based on STM32-NUCLEO assembled with a custom designed daughter board, in order to host non-volatile memories test-chips, to manage the needed power supplies and generate suitable signals stimuli for correct operations. The system is controlled and programmed by a personal computer, via USB interface. In particular the system can perform: memory reading, writing and erasing, with settings flexibility on time and voltage levels; Electrical Stress Tests (Drain, Gate and Bulk Stress); Cycling Tests; debugging algorithms (erase or …

Porti e automazione: spunti in materia di responsabilità delle imprese di sbarco

2019

Lo studio si incentra sull'automazione delle operazioni portuali di imbarco e di sbarco, con particolare riferimento all'incidenza della tecnologia sul sistema di responsabilità degli attori del trasporto marittimo. Sarà trattata la normativa portuale, la governance, il sistema di protezione sociale dei lavoratori portuali e il regime giuridico dei terminal operator. La relazione tra attività totalmente automatizzata e infrastrutture marittime è analizzata nel contesto del diritto internazionale marittimo. The article focuses on the automatization of loading, stowing and unloading ports operations, from the point of view of the impact of the technologies on the system of liabilities of the …

Facial masks in children: the position statement of the Italian pediatric society

2020

AbstractFacial masks may be one of the most cost-effective strategies to prevent the diffusion of COVID 19 infection. Nevertheless, fake news are spreading, alerting parents on dangerous side effects in children, such as hypercapnia, hypoxia, gut dysbiosis and immune system weakness. Aim of the Italian Pediatric Society statement is to face misconception towards the use of face masks and to spread scientific trustable information.

Selective propane oxidation over MoVSbO catalysts. On the preparation, characterization and catalytic behavior of M1 phase

2009

Nb-free (SbO)(2)M(20)O(56) catalysts (M = Mo, V) presenting pure M1 phase have been prepared by a post-synthesis treatment with hydrogen peroxide of a heat-treated MoVSbO mixed metal oxide catalyst previously prepared by hydrothermal method. The characterization of catalysts and their results for propane oxidation suggest that the optimization in the preparation of the M1 phase depends strongly on the washing procedure. The optimal removing of Sb species formed during post-synthesis treatment can explain the improvement in the catalytic activity; while the better selectivity to acrylic acid of the catalysts obtained by post-synthesis treatment can be explained by the elimination of M2 phase…

Presbyastasis: from diagnosis to management

2019

Currently, the elderly population (>65 years old) is in very growth. In fact, in Italy old age index (number of elderly per 100 persons under the age of 14 years) is estimated to be 157,7 and is projected to increase to 257,9 in the year 20651,2. The increase of the elderly population determines the increase of the age-dependent diseases including also impairment of the vestibular function, this problem is defined "presbiastasia". Patient suffering from this condition exhibit disturbances of static and dynamic postural control with far less frequent cases of relapsing objective rotatory vertigo. Occasionally, they also report a feeling of insecurity in new or unknown environments, increa…

Presbiopijas aditīva novērtēšanas metožu salīdzinājums

2017

Bakalaura darbs uzrakstīts latviešu valodā uz 39 lapaspusēm. Tas satur 26 attēlus, 5 tabulas, 39 literatūras avotus, 1 pielikumu. Mērķis: salīdzināt presbiopijas aditīva korekcijas novērtēšanas metodes. Dalībnieki: pētījumā piedalījās 30 dalībnieki ar presbiopiju. Metode: aditīva stiprums noteikts ar divām subjektīvām, daļēji objektīvu, matemātisku metodēm un pēc Pointer J. tabulas. Visi aditīva lielumi salīdzināti ar gala izrakstīto aditīvu un savā starpā. Secinājumi: Matemātiskā modeļa un Pointer J. tabulas rezultāti uzrādīja atšķirības no gala aditīva līdz pat 1,50D. Subjektīvo metožu uzrādītās atšķirības no vidējās vērtības ir 0,03D un 0,06D, datu izkliede neliela, SD=0,33D. Daļēji obje…

Second chamber, ‘congress of ambassadors’ or federal presidency : Parliamentary and non-parliamentary aspects in the European Council's rules of proc…

2015

SUMMARYThe development of the European Union (EU) regime, with the frequent changes of institutions and their competencies by treaty revisions, allows for new opportunities for parliamentary studies. This article discusses the role and competencies of the European Council (EC) in the EU regime, using the heuristic and methodological resources of procedural commentaries, parliamentary rhetoric, conceptual history and political regime analysis. This study is a textual analysis, based on the 2009 Lisbon Treaty and especially on the EC's rules of procedure. The Lisbon Treaty and the respective rules of procedure serve as key documents that fix the rules, the framework and the margin of manoeuvr…
