Umorzenie postępowania karnego na podstawie art. 59a k.k. – wybrane zagadnienia
2016
Discontinuation of proceedings under Article 59a of the Criminal Code is a new institution in Polish criminal law. This article discusses selected issues relating to the premises for the application of Article 59a of the Criminal Code in practice. In view of the use by the legislator in Article 59a of the Criminal Code of concepts with vague meanings, their possible interpretations were proposed. It has been suggested that a rephrasing of the provision in ąuestion should be considered, in order to ensure the possibility of applying the said institution to a wider range of misdemeanours, as compensatory discontinuation is intended by the legislator to fulfil the redress function of proceedin…
Il diritto delle obbligazioni nel pensiero di Adolfo di Majo. A margine di Obbligazioni e tutele.
2020
Il saggio ripercorre il fondamentale contributo degli studi del prof. Adolfo di Majo al diritto delle obbligazioni. L'attenzione del prof. di Majo si è soffermata su tutti i principali aspetti del diritto delle obbligazioni, con speciale riferimento al versante dei rimedi: adempimento in natura, risarcimento del danno, risoluzione. Il prof. di Majo può essere considerato il principale esponente della corrente di pensiero volta a valorizzare la fase delle tutele, intesa come fase autonoma del fenomeno giuridico. Il metodo adottato dal prof. di Majo è senza dubbio dogmatico, ma si tratta di una dogmatica temperata dall'attenzione alla dimensione materiale degli interessi. E ciò ha indotto l'a…
Compensation appraisal processes for the realization of hydraulic works in an agricultural area.
2015
The present work aims to rationalize the process of the damages valuation for the construction of hydraulic works, considering the economic and evaluative aspects. The study deal with the damages in the sense of ex post and ex ante valuation for the task of environmental protection and the temporary employment. In this process are examined the technical and practical implications. The problem of the ex post compensation is proposed in the form of an income statement. The valuation of the ex ante damage, during the design of interventions of hydraulic nature, affect the taxation of the hydraulic constraint and the avoided future damages, to compensate in advance. The valuation of the indemni…
I danni punitivi. Riflessioni in chiave comparatistica sui sistemi di common law e di civil law.
2014
La tesi ha ad oggetto l’istituto del risarcimento punitivo, del quale indaga natura, presupposti applicativi e profili funzionali nell’ambito degli ordinamenti di common law, con particolare riferimento all’ordinamento inglese e a quello statunitense. La parte finale del lavoro si occupa di individuare, in chiave comparatistica, punti di collegamento con le esperienze dei sistemi di responsabilità civile continentali, tentando di avviare una rilettura degli stessi in chiave polifunzionale ed assumendo, a tal fine, come banco di prova il risarcimento del danno non patrimoniale. The thesis deals with punitive damages, investigating their nature, applicative requirements and functions, among c…
Terremoto e architettura storica. Palermo e il sisma del 1726.
2015
On September 1st 1726 Palermo was hit by a violent earthquake. Although it did not bring about the destruction of the city, the earthquake caused widespread and extensive damage to the architectural heritage. The local insti- tutions carried out a series of actions involving representatives of the technical culture. These actions affected the subsequent appearance of the urban pattern and influenced the construction methods of the time. Crossing the data taken from chronicles of the time, from maps produced after the earthquake and above all copious archival documents, the research aims to reconstruct the state in which Palermo was after that tragic event, highlighting a number of aspects. …
Miarkowanie kary umownej w ramach powództwa o jej zwrot – glosa do wyroku Sądu Okręgowego w Olsztynie z 5.12.2018 r., IX Ca 758/18
2023
Komentowane orzeczenie dotyczy możliwości miarkowania kary umownej po tym, jak została ona zapłacona przez dłużnika z zastrzeżeniem zwrotu. Główny problem w sprawie stanowiło to, czy powód może skutecznie wystąpić z odrębnym powództwem o zwrot części zapłaconej już pozwanemu kary. Istota postępowania sprowadzała się do określenia formy i momentu wystąpienia przez dłużnika z żądaniem miarkowania kary umownej. Sąd zgodził się z tezą, że do miarkowania może dojść na skutek powództwa wytoczonego przez dłużnika. Natomiast przyjął kontrowersyjne stanowisko, które zostało poddane w niniejszej glosie krytyce, że do miarkowania nie może dojść po tym, jak kara została zapłacona
A cost efficiency analysis of flood proofing measures for hydraulic risk mitigation in an Urbanized riverine area
2020
Non-structural measures for flood risk mitigation are often more economically accessible, easier to implement, and are highly effective, especially in view of the pursuit of risk resilience objectives. Among the non-structural measures, more importance is increasingly being attributed to flood proofing interventions. There are two main types of flood proofing: dry proofing and wet proofing. An example of dry proofing is shielding, which involves the use of flood barriers that can be installed in the entrances of buildings or outside the buildings in order to avoid contact with the houses and deviate the water flow. Their use must be supported by a detailed hydraulic analysis to ensure the c…
Browsing hinders the regeneration of broadleaved trees in uneven-aged forest management in southern Finland
2020
Uneven-aged forest management has attained increasing popularity. It may benefit biodiversity, buffer against pests and abiotic damages, decrease runoff from clearcuts and improve recreational values. We studied how gap cuttings and single-tree selection cuttings influence browsing damage in spruce-dominated forests in south-central Finland. Overall, browsing damage was especially frequent in aspen and rowan, but also in birch. The larger the basal area left in harvesting, the lower the browsing pressure on birch and rowan; neither the harvesting method nor the seedling density had an independent effect on browsing damage. Although larger tree retention levels may reduce browsing damage, th…
The Strategy of Harm Reduction in Work with People Addicted to Drugs and Alcohol
2016
The policy of EU Member States, the United States, South America and Australia is heading towards the restructuring of the support system for addicts by implementing actions meant to limit the health and social damages resulting from the use of psychoactive substances. Many countries offer access to low-threshold programmes whereby the participant is not forced to maintain abstinence or submit to the excessive rules and obligations of a rehabilitation center. Harm reduction is a philosophy based on pragmatic and realistic goals of working with addicts and users. It assumes that each change, even the smallest, is important and should be supported. Harm reduction programmes usually function i…
Arbitraje para conflictos ambientales: una aproximación desde los Derechos Humanos
2020
En la confrontación entre la actividad empresarial y la protección del medio ambiente, pueden producirse daños sobre los derechos fundamentales. Desde una perspectiva de derechos humanos, el arbitraje puede desempeñar un rol importante como mecanismo que puede reducir las barreras de acceso a la justicia para las víctimas de estos conflictos y conseguir una reparación justa para ellas. El objetivo de este artículo es examinar cuáles deben ser los elementos para establecer un adecuado sistema de arbitrabilidad para la reparación del daño derivado de disputas medioambientales. Para ello, la autora se centra en las recientemente aprobadas Reglas de La Haya en Materia de Empresas y Derechos Hum…
