On the role of interfacial hydrogen bonds in "on-water" catalysis.
2014
Numerous experiments have demonstrated that many classes of organic reactions exhibit increased reaction rates when performed in heterogeneous water emulsions. Despite enormous practical importance of the observed "on-water" catalytic effect and several mechanistic studies, its microscopic origins remains unclear. In this work, the second generation Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics method is extended to self-consistent charge density-functional based tight-binding in order to study "on-water" catalysis of the Diels-Alder reaction between dimethyl azodicarboxylate and quadricyclane. We find that the stabilization of the transition state by dangling hydrogen bonds exposed at the aqueous inte…
Civil Society in Making: <i>Challenges of the Somali Diaspora Organizations</i>
2013
This article contributes to the discussion on migrants and civil society by directing attention towards the importance of transnational processes. Somali organizations in Finland will be addressed against the state-failure and conflict in Somalia. Among the Somalis, an NGO largely remains an alien and donor-driven concept, whereas clan, religious affiliations and associational structures may be blurred in complex ways. There is a need to rethink the concept of ‘civil society’ and how it could be analytically used in understanding transnational civic participation. The data comprises interviews with INGOs as well as observations and discussions with Somali associations.

Il traffico di migranti nel Mediterraneo: validità della legge penale e tutela della persona
2019
Studio giuridico comparato in materia di repressione al traffico di migranti nell'ambito dell'Unione Europea con specifico riguardo al reato di favoreggiamento dell'immigrazione clandestina in Italia, Spagna e Germania e i relativi problemi di giurisdizione penale che solleva questo specifico fenomeno all'interno del bacino mediterraneo. Comparative analysis on the repression of smuggling of migrants within the EU legal framework with specific regard to domestic legislations in Italy, Spain and Germany and the jurisdictional issues which arise in such specific phenomenon. This work is part of the final deliverable of a Research Project funded by Philip Morris International (PMI-Impact) ("Th…
Nikephoros Bryennios the Younger – the First One Not to Become a Blind Man? Political and Military History of the Bryennios Family in the 11th and Ea…
2020
Nikephoros Bryennios the Younger has a place in the history of Byzantium as the author of one of the works devoted to the Komnenos family coming to power. This outstanding observer and talented leader, who was fascinated by the person of his father-in-law Alexius I Komnenos, came from a family whose ambitions were no less than the those in the one into which Nikephoros himself married. His father and grandfather, also his namesake, were those who dreamed of an imperial crown for themselves and tried to reach for it armed. Apart from defeat, they both faced punishment which was blinding. One of those who captured and ordered the father of Nikephoros the Younger to be blinded was his future f…
The ex clandestine detention center Information Service as a place of memory in Rosario's Argentinian city: disputed memories and institutionalizatio…
2019
El ex Servicio de Informaciones de la Policía de Santa Fe (SI) funcionó entre 1976 y 1979 como centro clandestino de detención (CCD) en la ciudad de Rosario, provincia de Santa Fe, Argentina. En el mismo se estima que permaneció secuestrada la mayor cantidad de detenidos desaparecidos en la región. En el año 2002 el ex CCD comienza a ser gestionado por diferentes organismos de Derechos Humanos locales, a través de un comodato concedido por el gobierno provincial. Tras el vencimiento del mismo en el año 2012 y luego de una serie de intervenciones arquitectónicas, el ex SI fue inaugurado por el gobierno de Santa Fe como Espacio de memoria en 2015. Teniendo como punto de partida el trabajo de …
Coalescent testimonials: emergencies of militant reason in narratives of the escape from the center clandestine of detention Atila/Mansión Seré
2016
El escrito hace pie conceptual en la convergencia de los testimonios sobre la violencia del terrorismo de Estado y la operatoria del sistema desaparecedor que la sustentó durante la última dictadura militar en Argentina (1976-1983). ¿De qué manera se entraman el testimonio jurídico, periodístico, literario y cinematográfico en la producción de verdad y en la consistencia de un saber sobre lo ocurrido en esos años? El trabajo revisa tres tipos de testimonios (judicial, literario, cinematográfico) sobre la fuga de detenidos ilegales en el centro clandestino de detención Atila/Mansión Seré, que tuvo lugar en la madrugada del 24 de marzo de 1978. The paper makes conceptual standing on the conve…
