Five Years of the Citizens Directive in the UK - Part 2

2011

This two-part article reviews how the UK authorities have fared in the practical application of Directive 2004/38/EC in the five years since it entered into force. It identifies and examines the most common problems faced by EU citizens when seeking to have their rights recognised by the UK authorities applying the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006 by reference to questions and complaints received by Your Europe Advice. In examining the experience of EU citizens and their family members living in the UK, account is taken of a number of recent judgments of the European Court of Justice concerning EU citizenship, including Metock, Lassal, Eman & Sevinger and Ruiz Zambrano.…

Il delitto di "caporalato" tra diritti minimi della persona e tutela del mercato del lavoro

2020

Il contributo analizza il reato di intermediazione illecita e sfruttamento lavorativo, offrendo un’analisi comparata con il sistema repressivo tedesco. Lo studio si sofferma, in particolare, sui limiti di legittimazione del diritto penale nella punizione dei fatti di “caporalato”, nel tentativo di scongiurare che l’intervento repressivo nelle dinamiche economiche e contrattuali, di natura sinallagmatica, possa assumere una portata tale da porsi in contrasto con il canone della sussidiarietà. A tal fine, si suggerisce una prospettiva ermeneutica che incentri il disvalore penale del reato di cui all’art. 603-bis c.p. sulla lesione dei diritti fondamentali del lavoratore – riconducibili agli a…

Il potere della parola. Gli Inferni di Anton Francesco Doni

2022

Ad alimentare gli Inferni, edito da Anton Francesco Doni nel 1553, è la coscienza infelice della condizione umana e il desiderio di rivalsa dalle ingiustizie patite. Evidente, dunque, è l’intento polemico dell’opera, rappresentazione trasfigurata dei vizi terreni e ‘prefigurazione’ dei castighi riservati a chi ha smarrito un’etica del vivere. Ma a connotare gli Inferni è altresì la sua natura duplice e contraddittoria, evidente nell’immagine della ruota del supplizio eterno: pur veicolando immagini di fiera crudeltà, questo simbolo ambivalente rivela la sua affinità col cerchio, emblema di perfezione, nell’oscillazione fra mondo del divenire e dell’eterno ritorno e nel moto che ora eleva, o…

Parenting dimensions in relation to pre-schoolers’ behaviour problems in Latvia and Lithuania

2014

The aim of the present study was to examine associations between parenting and child behaviour problems in two neighbouring countries with subtle, yet apparent cultural differences. Participants were mothers and fathers of preschool-age children from Latvia and Lithuania. Parents completed a measure of child-rearing attitudes and reported on their child’s internalizing and externalizing behaviours. In both countries, parental warmth was negatively associated with child behaviour problems, and punishment orientation was positively associated. There were differences by country in the association of paternal psychological control and behaviour problems, and in the interactions of parenting di…

In vitro rooting and acclimatization of Sicilian Hypericum perforatum

2015

Hypericum perforatum L. is traditionally used as a medicinal plant because of different bioactive compounds with documented antidepressant and anti-inflammatory activities. Plantlets mass production with high content of these secondary metabolites has been enhanced through in vitro culture but often the process has been stopped at the multiplication phase. A study was conducted in order to set up an efficient in vitro rooting and acclimatization protocol of a H. perforatum Sicilian genotype well-adapted to south Mediterranean conditions. Aseptic nodal segments were cultured on to a Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium supplemented with 4.44 μM 6-benzyladenine (BA) for multiplication. Micro…

Robust dynamic cooperative games

2009

Classical cooperative game theory is no longer a suitable tool for those situations where the values of coalitions are not known with certainty. Recent works address situations where the values of coalitions are modelled by random variables. In this work we still consider the values of coalitions as uncertain, but model them as unknown but bounded disturbances. We do not focus on solving a specific game, but rather consider a family of games described by a polyhedron: each point in the polyhedron is a vector of coalitions’ values and corresponds to a specific game. We consider a dynamic context where while we know with certainty the average value of each coalition on the long run, at each t…

Principios que rigen la responsabilidad internacional penal por crímenes internacionales

2012

La responsabilidad internacional penal de los individuos se inscribe en el marco de la lucha contra la impunidad de los crímenes más graves y tiene por objeto la persecución y sanción de los criminales que se encuentran a la cabeza de la empresa criminal. Por lo tanto, responde a una serie de principios generales de derecho penal y de derecho internacional que han sido sometidos a una evolución constante por parte de la jurisprudencia internacional. El artículo que se presenta a continuación muestra tal evolución y el estado actual de la discusión en el marco del Estatuto de Roma.

Comparing the Antileishmanial Activity of Gold(I) and Gold(III) Compounds in L. amazonensis and L. braziliensis in Vitro

2020

Abstract Abstract: A series of mononuclear coordination or organometallic AuI/AuIII complexes (1–9) have been comparatively studied in vitro for their antileishmanial activity against promastigotes and amastigotes, the clinically relevant parasite form, of Leishmania amazonensis and Leishmania braziliensis. One of the cationic AuI bis‐N‐heterocyclic carbenes (3) has low EC50 values (ca. 4 μM) in promastigotes cells and no toxicity in host macrophages. Together with two other AuIII complexes (6 and 7), the compound is also extremely effective in intracellular amastigotes from L. amazonensis. Initial mechanistic studies include an evaluation of the gold complexes′ effect on L. amazonensis’ pl…
