Succession of states in respect of state responsibility: towards yet another Vienna Convention?
2019
The present work analyses the historical evolution of the rules on succession of states as well as provides a review of case law where the Court referred to the concept of state succession to international responsibility, expressly or by implication. The author analyses the wording of the proposed Draft Articles and attempts to establish whether and how the principles of automatic succession and non-succession apply in different circumstances, based on the newly developed provisions. The purpose of the study is to identify the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed Articles as well as discuss whether there is a need for such rules at all, or are the existing legal rules enough.
L’evoluzione della legittima tra leggi immutabili e leggi arbitrarie
2022
Osservare l’evoluzione della legittima con gli occhi della scienza giuridica di Domat – le cui riflessioni costituiscono l’antecedente storico-sistematico del Code civil – non deve sembrare un mero esercizio di stile, in quanto l’ossequio alla cultura giuridica e alla radicata tradizione sottese alle regole della successione mortis causa sono imprescindibili per poter comprendere l’attuale posizione del legittimario, oggetto di rinnovato dibattito. Invero, il mutamento in atto dei rapporti familiari e la necessità di rispecchiare gli effettivi legami affettivi e solidaristici del de cuius, a prescindere da quelli di sangue, esigono un aggiornamento del sistema di successione necessaria.
Le obbligazioni familiari tra obblighi patrimoniali ed obblighi morali: la successione mortis causa
2007
L'analisi prende spunto dallo stato attuale della normativa in materia successoria per evidenziare quali siano e se vi siano cesure tra l'impostazione legale della materia e l'effettiva applicazione operativa. Comparando il sistema successorio italiano con quello inglese si è inteso evidenziare la contraddizione presente nel nostro ordinamento tra declamazioni e regole operative soprattutto in materia di "libertà testamentaria". In questa ottica si tenta di ricostruire la disciplina della successione testamentaria ancorandola anche al principio costituzionale della autonomia privata.
Trasmissibilità dei rapporti successori mortis causa e schemi negoziali

Experience discrepancy in leadership succession: Does it matter? Evidence from the Elite European Soccer Clubs (1994-2015)
2018
International audience; The level of profile similarity between the new leader and the former one matters and will affect subsequent strategic change and thus performance. An excess of exploration as well as an excess of exploitation are detrimental to future performance. When replacing a leader, owners should take into consideration the profile and experience dissimilarities between the predecessor and the successor.
Business succession and intellectual capital management in family firms
2015
Family businesses are institutions in which two seemingly disparate social units (i.e., families and businesses) are highly integrated. This connection extends to succession across generations and while natural, this can be a difficult process. The founder, thanks to his long stay in the family business, has a substantial amount of tacit knowledge related to the firm which can often determine business success. In the succession process it is important to diffuse and manage overall knowledge, or intellectual capital, to the successor. This study attempts to contribute to the literature casting some light on the business succession in a family firm informed by an intellectual capital perspect…
Dynamics of a Ferromagnetic Particle Levitated Over a Superconductor
2018
Under conditions where the angular momentum of a ferromagnetic particle is dominated by intrinsic spin, applied torque is predicted to cause gyroscopic precession of the particle. If the particle is sufficiently isolated from the environment, a measurement of spin precession can potentially yield sensitivity to torque beyond the standard quantum limit. Levitation of a micron-scale ferromagnetic particle above a superconductor is a possible method of near frictionless suspension enabling observation of ferromagnetic particle precession and ultrasensitive torque measurements. We experimentally investigate the dynamics of a micron-scale ferromagnetic particle levitated above a superconducting …
The Differences in Values Between Managers of the European Founding Countries, the New Members and the Applicant Countries:
2007
Advocates for a social Europe are worried that the accession of ex-Eastern Bloc countries into the European Community would lead European corporations to emphasize a financial orientation rather than a societal orientation. We examined this question in a study of the values orientations of 3,836 managers in 16 countries representing established EU, new EU, and candidate EU country groups. Within-Europe managerial values convergence was found in a relatively high openness to change and low self-enhancement values. However, we found divergent values such that managers in established EU countries were more self-transcendent and less conservative than their counterparts in new EU and candidate …
NEITHER AUTHORIZED NOR PROHIBITED? SECESSION AND INTERNATIONAL LAW AFTER KOSOVO, SOUTH OSSETIA AND ABKHAZIA
2008
The flexibility mechanisms introduced by the Kyoto Protocol on climate change promote the realization of climate change related investment projects which aim to contribute both to the fight against climate change as well as to foster sustainable development patterns in host countries. At first glance, the flexibility mechanisms seem to represent paradigmatic examples of green economy instruments which have numerous potential benefits. However, the implementation of such mechanisms may give rise to some negative environmental externalities which have the consequence of creating a new type of investment versus environment conflict, characterized by a new form of conflict with an internal envi…
Coexistence of cryptic rotifer species: ecological and genetic characterisation of Brachionus plicatilis
2003
SUMMARY 1. The coexistence of five cryptic species of the rotifer species complex Brachionus plicatilis was investigated in four coastal Mediterranean ponds. Monthly sampling was undertaken for 15 months and species were characterised using allozyme electrophoresis. 2. We describe species-diagnostic allozyme loci that can be used for rapid identification of these species. 3. The five species overlapped to some extent in their temporal use of the ponds, although some seasonal segregation was observed. 4. The match between temporal and spatial distribution and limnological conditions suggested ecological specialisation in some cases, although we found striking examples of extensive seasonal o…
