Monitoring the evolution of coastline in Sicily by aerial photos and high resolution satellite imagery
2009
Italy is one of the country more exposed to coasts erosion: about 1200 km of coasts on about 8350 km are moved back of about 25 m in the last 50 years. Particularly Sicily have about 300 km of coasts moved back. There are various reasons of this phenomenon: natural factor (climatic or physical-oceanographic) with environmental and economic effects. The paper reviews the activity of the Dipartimento di Rappresentazione of University of Palermo in cooperation with the Regional Agency of Environmental Protection (ARPA) about the coastline evolution in Sicily. The research is carried out on selected physiographic units marked out by important erosive phenomena. The coastline trend are reconstru…

Decisioni sul termine della vita e donazione degli organi. Spunti comparatistici per una futura disciplina
2021
The essay focuses on organ donation as a possible choice for those patients seeking euthanasia or assisted suicide whose informed and free consent has to be carefully preserved. In that case, indeed, concern for the welfare of others, on the one hand, and dying for having relief from illness, on the other hand, could confusedly converge in the will of a vulnerable person receiving medical treatments. The Dutch and the Belgian statutory frameworks governing organ donation after euthanasia can shed light on this such ethical theme involving human dignity that should be ignored by the Italian legislator anymore.
Alcohol Abuse Mediates the Association between Baseline T/C Ratio and Anger Expression in Intimate Partner Violence Perpetrators.
2015
The imbalance between testosterone (T) and cortisol (C) levels has been proposed as a possible marker of risk for intimate partner violence (IPV). Moreover, it could be related to a high probability of adopting risky behaviors such as alcohol abuse which, in turn, promotes the onset of IPV. This study tested the potential mediating effect of alcohol consumption on the relationship between baseline T/C ratio and anger expression in IPV perpetrators and non-violent controls. Alcohol consumption was higher in the former than controls. A high baseline T/C ratio was only associated with high anger expression in IPV perpetrators, and this association was mediated by high alcohol consumption. Thus…

Itsemurhariskissä olevan ikäihmisen kanssa työskentelyssä vaaditut taidot sosiaalityössä : katsaus kansainväliseen tutkimukseen
2019
Tämän artikkelin tavoitteena on tuottaa kirjallisuuskatsauksen avulla sosiaalityön käytännön ja tutkimuksen kannalta merkityksellistä tietoa ikäihmisten itsemurhista. Millaisia iäkkäiden henkilöiden itsemurhan riskitekijöitä on löydetty aiemmissa sosiaalityön tutkimuksissa sekä millaisia sosiaalityön taitoja liitetään itsemurha-alttiin ikäihmisen kanssa työskentelyyn? Kirjallisuuskatsaus osoitti, että riskitekijöiksi voidaan nähdä ensinnäkin terveydentilaan liittyvät riskitekijät, toiseksi sukupuoleen ja perhetilanteeseen liittyvät riskitekijät ja kolmanneksi asumiseen ja taloudelliseen tilanteeseen liittyvät riskitekijät. Itsemurha-alttiiden ikäihmisten kanssa työskentelyssä tarvittavat so…
Crítica a la naturalización del deontologismo en la teoría del proceso dual del juicio moral de Joshua Greene
2018
In this paper I propose to question the Joshua Greene’s neuroethical thesis about the essentially emotional character of so-called “deontological moral judgments”. Frist, I focus on the dual process theory of moral judgment and I criticize that they are considered only and mainly intuitive and non reflective. Se condly, I question that the “utilitarian judgment” is linked to mathematical calculation and the deontological judgment is exclusively reduced to non-reflective factor of emotion. The main objection to Greene’s naturalism raised by me is trying to eliminate the philosophical justification about the moral validity defended by Kant’s deontologism; meanwhile Greene reduces “deontologic…

La ambigua institucionalización de la eutanasia como derecho individual de carácter prestacional. Apunte crítico sobre la lo 3/2021, de 24 de marzo
2021
Se abordan aquí tres aspectos relativos a la Ley española de eutanasia, promulgada el 24 de marzo de 2021, que resultan especialmente problemáticos: la falsa configuración de la eutanasia como un ?derecho subjetivo?, el falso protagonismo de la autonomía del sujeto y la calificación de la eutanasia como ?muerte natural?. Se sostiene la tesis de que la ley solo ha despenalizado el delito eutanásico cuando se realiza de acuerdo con los requisitos legales; de que no existe un derecho a la muerte y por tanto no es la voluntad del solicitante la que determina la prestación eutanásica y las repercusiones que se producirán en diversos ámbitos por la calificación de muerte natural.
