La "razionalità" delle vittime di estorsione e l'impatto dell'overload informativo
2016
Il capitolo presenta un breve excursus tra le contrapposte interpretazioni del fenomeno mafioso e in particolare di quello estorto. Prende poi in considerazione i concetti di incertezza, rischio e overload informativo per vedere come sono stati trattati dalla teoria sociologica contemporanea e come è possibile utilizzare tali concetti nell'interpretazione dello stato delle vittime di estorsione. Si analizzano infine la prospettiva culturista nella sua versione 2.0 e gli effetti dell'overload informativo sulle vittime. The chapter presents a brief excursus between the opposing interpretations of the mafia phenomenon and in particular of the extorted one. It then takes into consideration the …

A Direction/Orientation-Based Method for Shape Measurement by Shadow MoirÉ
2008
In this paper, a methodology to process fringe patterns is presented. The core of the signal processing technique is the use of the direction information, which is a modulo quantity that locally indicates the direction along which fringes grow at a maximum rate. By using this information, it was possible to perform adaptive and direction/orientation-based operations on fringe images to remove unwanted effects (mainly distortions at the image borders), to enhance the contrast, and to extract the phase information encoded. The method has been applied on shadow-moire interferograms with carrier fringes in order to measure the surface of small objects. The developed algorithm allows processing …
Bi-Sobolev extensions
2022
We give a full characterization of circle homeomorphisms which admit a homeomorphic extension to the unit disk with finite bi-Sobolev norm. As a special case, a bi-conformal variant of the famous Beurling-Ahlfors extension theorem is obtained. Furthermore we show that the existing extension techniques such as applying either the harmonic or the Beurling-Ahlfors operator work poorly in the degenerated setting. This also gives an affirmative answer to a question of Karafyllia and Ntalampekos.
Regularity of the inverse of a Sobolev homeomorphism in space
2006
Let Ω ⊂ Rn be open. Given a homeomorphism of finite distortion with |Df| in the Lorentz space Ln−1, 1 (Ω), we show that and f−1 has finite distortion. A class of counterexamples demonstrating sharpness of the results is constructed.
Invertibility of Sobolev mappings under minimal hypotheses
2010
Abstract We prove a version of the Inverse Function Theorem for continuous weakly differentiable mappings. Namely, a nonconstant W 1 , n mapping is a local homeomorphism if it has integrable inner distortion function and satisfies a certain differential inclusion. The integrability assumption is shown to be optimal.
The cost of protection racket in Sicily
2008
The purpose of this paper is to estimate the current cost of protection rackets in Sicily. By means of a database constructed on judicial evidence, it has been possible to come up with an estimate of the average and total costs of the protection-money system, as well as finding out in which sectors of economic activity and in which provinces is most pervasive. The average monthly payment is approximately 600 euros per business, with stronger effects in those areas with a relatively more traditional economic structure. As a whole, in monetary terms, the protection racket in Sicily accounts for over 1.4% of gross regional product. Finally, the paper supports the hypothesis that in most cases,…
Soundless Screams: Graffiti and Drawings in the Prisons of the Holy Office in Palermo
2017
The discovery of graffiti in the early years of the twentieth century by the folklorist Giuseppe Pitré left by prisoners of the tribunal of the Spanish Inquisition in Palermo has been followed by more extensive investigations in recent years. These images and words have added a concrete and particular dimension to Sicily’s position at the crossroads of the Mediterranean. As well as images of saints and naval battles are to be found inscriptions not only in Italian, Sicilian and Latin but also in English and Hebrew. This article cross references this visual and textual evidence with the relevant archives of the tribunal in order to provide a powerful microhistory of suffering and resilience …
Spīdzināšanas jēdziens un pazīmes
2016
Maģistra darba „Spīdzināšanas jēdziens un pazīmes” mērķis ir analizēt spīdzināšanas jēdzienu un noteikt tā pazīmes krimināltiesību vidē, kā arī identificēt ar šo nozari saistīto problemātiku un rast attiecīgos risinājumus problemātikas novēršanai. Spīdzināšanas jēdziena un pazīmju problemātika tiks skatīta Latvijas Republikas normatīvajos aktos, tiesību zinātnieku viedokļos un tiesu praksē, kā arī citu Eiropas un pasaules valstu normatīvajos aktos un to tiesību zinātnieku viedokļos. Veiktās analīzes rezultātā tiks piedāvāti priekšlikumi Krimināllikuma un likuma „Par Krimināllikuma spēkā stāšanās un piemērošanas kārtību” uzlabošanai un modernizēšanai. Atslēgas vārdi: spīdzināšana, spīdzināša…
Spīdzināšana krimināltiesībās
2020
Bakalaura darba “Spīdzināšana krimināltiesībās” izprast spīdzināšanas jēdzienu un noteikt tā vietu krimināltiesībās, kā arī identificēt problemātiku, kas ir saistīta ar šo nozari un atrast kā šo problemātiku var risināt. Latvijas Republikas normatīvajos aktos un tiesību zinātnieku viedokļos kā arī tiesu praksē, starptautisko tiesību normatīvajos aktos un to tiesību zinātnieku viedokļos tiks skatīts spīdzināšanas jēdziens un tā problemātika. Rezultātā pēc veiktās analīzes tiks piedāvāti priekšlikumi Krimināllikuma uzlabošanai un modernizēšanai.
