EU Referenda in the Baltics: Understanding the Results at the Regional Level
2005
This paper analyses regional differences in EU referenda results in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. In each of the three countries, other things being equal, high income regions were significantly more pro-European than low-income ones, while regions with a high share of ethnic minorities were significantly more opposed to the enlargement than other regions. The ethnic effect was strongest in Latvia and weakest in Estonia. These findings clearly indicate necessity of stronger efforts both in integration of the Baltic societies and in the promotion of reliable EU information, especially in less developed regions. On the other hand, we confirm the findings from earlier referenda that support …
Crowdfunding in Europe: Between Fragmentation and Harmonization
2020
AbstractThe European crowdfunding market is growing rapidly, especially in continental Europe. At the same time, cross-border activities are still constrained. Fragmented markets, especially caused by differences in regulation, are an obstacle to growth of crowdfunding platforms. The European Union introduced the European Crowdfunding Service Provider (ECSP) Regime in 2019. This harmonized regime applies to crowdfunding platforms intermediating equity and debt investments between businesses and retail investors. This chapter discusses evidence on the fragmented nature of the European crowdfunding market, while presenting the ECSP directive, as a critical regulatory initiative towards harmon…
The Role of the Integrated Public Transport Network for Reducing the Congestion in the City of Palermo

The railway link of Palermo is part of the Palermo – Trapani railway line and it is located in the urban site of Palermo.

The aim of the paper is the analysis of the capacity of the railway infrastructure in terms of frequency and integration with the public transport service of Palermo. Using the Origin-Destination matrix of the Urban Transport Plan of Palermo, the competition between the private car mode and the public transport mode has been simulated, taking into account the improving of the railway…
Conclusions and Suggestions for Improving European Education Policies
2020
In the concluding chapter, we draw together the main arguments and results of the research, highlighting the differences and similarities between the education policy documents produced by the European Union and the Council of Europe. We also provide suggestions for improving future education policies to better encompass the concerns about the lack of dialogue in a diversified but also polarized Europe. Education policy documents dealing with intercultural dialogue act as important guidelines for tackling racism, chauvinism, xenophobia, homophobia, and other forms of prejudice in Europe. As policies function as ‘actants’ that create webs of meanings and action, it is crucial that policy doc…
Evolution of the Regulatory Landscape for Immunomodulatory Compounds and Personalized Therapeutic Cancer Vaccines
2014
The term cancer immunotherapy covers a huge range of different therapeutic interventions based on highly diverse medicinal products. Some immunotherapy products such as monoclonal antibodies have successfully been developed during the last years and contributed to major advances in cancer therapy. Development of cancer vaccines seemed to be more challenging. Nevertheless, some promising candidates are currently in late-stage clinical development, and one product (sipuleucel-T) was recently approved in the United States (USA) and in the European Union (EU). Additionally, cell therapy approaches based on adoptive lymphocyte transfer have recently come into focus due to surprisingly efficient …

Notices de manuscrits de maqāmāt yéménites de la période postclassique, 1ère partie
2014
Genre essentiel de la littérature prosaïque arabe, la maqāma recouvre des réalités textuelles très variées. Cela engendre des difficultés fondamentales de définition. À titre d’exemple, à l’époque postclassique, le genre maqāma chevauche d’autres genres littéraires similaires tels que la munāẓara et la mufāḫara. La prolifération de ces variétés de maqāmāt est une particularité de la production littéraire au Yémen à cette époque. Dans le cadre de notre recherche doctorale sur l’essor du genre maqāma au Yémen, nous avons eu la possibilité de travailler sur un certain nombre de manuscrits. À travers le présent travail, nous voulons présenter la première partie d’un bref catalogue de manuscrits…
