Iniuria Migrandi: Criminalization of Immigrants and the Basic Principles of the Criminal Law
2013
In questo articolo mi propongo di effettuare una valutazione normativa, dal punto di vista di una teoria del diritto penale orientata secondo principi, delle norme che incriminano l'immigrazione irregolare. L'interrogativo generale sul quale mi soffermerò è questo: che modo di usare il diritto penale è implicato nella emanazione di simili norme? La mia tesi è, in sintesi, che si tratta di un vero e proprio abuso del diritto penale. In almeno due sensi: primo, nel senso che, criminalizzando l'immigrazione irregolare, il diritto penale bandisce (categorie di) persone, e non atti/omissioni, facendo qualcosa che un diritto penale rispettoso di alcuni principi liberali fondamentali non dovrebbe …
Access to Justice or Access to States Courtss Justice in Europe? The Directive 2008/52/EC on Civil and Commercial Mediation
2013
Modern societies are very much linked to the idea of litigation. A hidden rule seems to exist in the sense that the more advanced a society is the highest level of litigation it suffers. This increase in the level of litigation amounts to a sort of “litigation explosion” that has traditionally been linked to State courts. This explosion is said to put the whole judiciary system under pressure in so far the volume of disputes brought before State courts increases, the proceedings become more and more lengthy and the costs incurred in such proceedings also augment. The goal to tackle this explosion underpins most of the reforms that modern national civil procedure laws have suffered in many c…

From ‘Awkward Partner’ to ‘Awkward Partnership’? Explaining Norway’s Paradoxical Relations with the European Union
2017
Norway is the only Nordic state to have rejected membership of the European Union four times. Applying the conceptual lens of ‘awkwardness’, as developed by Murray et al. (2014), it seems fair to consider the country as an awkward partner in the process of European integration. As a member of the European Economic Area (EEA), however, Norway has been tightly associated with the European Union ever since 1994, actively participating in a large number of EU policies and programs and effectively forging a close partnership that has in itself become increasingly ‘awkward’. This holds true despite the fact that successive Norwegian governments have recently started to embrace a generally more re…
States, nations, and societies: a case study of Valencia
2017
Political activity of contemporary western societies has been structured based on a definition of territorial units of action, which we call states. This western political structure has been legitimised by a link between each state to a collective owner of sovereignty, which we call a nation. The life of this society revolves around areas linked to different fields of community life, such as production, consumption, distribution of work, etc., including the discursive elements of these practices. Social practices take place within the complex interaction between all these fields of relations, which we call social structure. Each of these collective forms (states, nations and social structur…
Patient safety and nurse managers' competencies in decision making relating to rationing of care - the state of the art
2020
To prevent potential health- or life-threatening events during patient care at every stage of hospitalisation, all possible causes that could lead to adverse events should be recognised by the highly qualified medical staff who are responsible for patient safety. The aim of this state-of-the-art paper is to summarise the issue of patient safety in the hospital and nurse managers’ competencies relating to rationing of care, and to discuss implementation of the evidence-based practice as the key foundation for the development and knowledge management of nursing care. Research evidence does not provide any innovative solutions to direct knowledge management in clinical settings. Therefore, we …
Protection and Victim’s Assistance
2020
Identification of a human trafficking victim is a herculean task, not only due to the complexity of the definition of human trafficking, but also due to the perception of victimhood and vulnerability. The last chapter of this book is written after the increase of the migration flows in Italy in the last years, where IOM declared that 80% of the Nigerian women arriving in Italy were potential human trafficking victims. In an era of a continuous overlap of categories, such as human trafficking victims, non-accompanied minors, refugees, and asylum seekers, legal frameworks can hinder the adequate protection of a human trafficking victim. This chapter profoundly analyses the hybrid category of …
THE SYSTEM OF LOCAL COMPETENCES IN THE ROMANIAN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION
2014
The extension of administrative tasks, originally endowed with powers of supervisionand maintain a social balance, it gradually became an engine that determines changes, a newlevel of transformation. Given the current status of local collectivities, through this research weintend to argue their tendency to become leading actors in the landscape of administrative,political, economic and social.Our study will consider the effects of the successive transfer of powers upon localcollectivities and its implications for the organization, mission and coooperation. Thesecircumstances arise many challenges for state and local collectivity: changing relations betweenthe institutions generated by the t…
Sexual Exploitation from Origin Countries to Destination Countries
2020
Human trafficking tends to follow a pattern of phases, such as recruitment, transfer, exploitation, protection, and sometimes re-trafficking. This chapter gives the opportunity for the reader to understand the influence of several factors within human trafficking at a geographical level, from the origin and transit country to the destination country, as well as at a cultural, social, and criminological level. All factors are considered according to victim nationality, in this case Romanian and Nigerian, including the vulnerable factors created by the criminal groups. In this chapter, the difference of citizenship between Nigerian women, who are third-country nationals, and Romanian women, w…
Dating of Archaeological Gold by Means of Solid State Electrochemistry
2018
[EN] In archaeology and history of art, age determination is a fundamental analytical problem. While several techniques for age determination of various materials, like radiocarbon dating, are established, these methods cannot be applied for metals, for which new techniques have to be developed. For the first time a dating method for archaeological gold objects is described which is based on a corrosion clock and electrochemical measurements, using the voltammetry of immobilized particles. Samples are prepared by one touch' with a graphite pencil, only transferring a few nanograms of the archaeological gold. The method has been calibrated with the help of a series of well-documented gold sp…
