Jerarquización y preferencia de valores en los estudiantes de secundaria = Hierarchial structuring and preference of values in the students of second…
2014
This article describes a study of the values and variables that influence hierarchical structuring in secondary school students. The main objectives are to determine which are the preferred values and to compare in what manner gender and age are related to the values of adolescents. The study is conducted with a sample (n=114) of male and female secondary school students, between 14 and 18 years old. The results show that the two variables (gender and age) are related to the subject’s values. Girls prefer final values, more abstract and internalized values; opposite to the instrumental, more egocentric and material values, preferred by boys. Regarding age influence, as they grow older, adol…
The place of frailty and vulnerability in the surgical risk assessment: should we move from complexity to simplicity?
2018
Due to aging of the world population, older patients accessing health services are becoming continuously more frequent. This has increased the interest in assessing frailty and vulnerability in all specialties and general medicine. Although the term frailty has been recognized for over 30 years, there is not yet a universally recognized definition, and different care providers assess frailty and vulnerability with dissimilar tools, from very complex to very simple validated scales. Being treated with respect and dignity at the right time and place is the key message, as well as after undergoing a global evaluation both in urgency/emergency and in programmed surgery for all older surgical pa…
Logika algorytmów w świecie pracy ery technologicznej - nowe możliwości i nowe ograniczenia
2022
Uprawnienia kierownicze pracodawcy wynikające z przepisów prawa pracy są innej natury niż te kształtowane przez technologię, lokują one działanie kierownictwa pracodawcy w zupełnie innym obszarze niż technologia — w relacjach międzyludzkich, a nie w danych, w poleceniach, a nie w sygnałach, w odnoszeniu się do sposobów bycia jednostki, a nie do sprzężeń zwrotnych, do jej sumienności i staranności, a nie do nastawiania jej na wykorzystywanie. Kierownictwo technologiczne ma inne środki wyrazu, inną metodykę działania, inną skalę przymusu i porządku, jest inaczej zabezpieczane, nie zna granic, które stawia się kierownictwu normatywnemu. Technologia pozwala na zmianę paradygmatu kierownictwa dz…
The Dignity in Free Speech: Civility Norms in Post-Terror Societies
2016
ABSTRACTIt is difficult to strike a balance between protecting freedom of speech and ensuring public safety. The attacks on 22 July 2011 in Norway, and the fear of terrorist acts inspired by public utterances on the Internet, have caused many to question whether and how we should regulate hate speech. In this article, we analyse the main arguments from the debate on freedom of speech in post-terror Norway, termed the ‘liberal’ and ‘harm’ (or ‘balance of harms’) arguments respectively. We propose a set of civility norms that may serve to uphold the wide freedom of speech advocated by the liberal argument, while being attentive to the real ethical challenges emphasised by the harm argument.
Brevi note comparatistiche in tema di suicidio assistito
2019
The essay focuses on the legitimacy of assisted suicide in Italy and in England and Wales, particularly with regard to patients suffering from severe pain from incurable or terminal illnesses. In two recent cases (Cappato and Nicklinson), both Italian and English judges suggested to the Parliament to modify the current state of the law, without making a declaration of incompatibility with Article 8 of the Convention. The paper compares the approach of Corte Costituzionale and UK Supreme Court to the issue, revealing the ambiguity hidden behind those common decisions.
Constitutional developments in Latin American abortion law.
2016
Abstract For most of the 20th Century, restrictive abortion laws were in place in continental Latin America. In recent years, reforms have caused a liberalizing shift, supported by constitutional decisions of the countries’ high courts. The present article offers an overview of the turn toward more liberal rules and the resolution of abortion disputes by reference to national constitutions. For such purpose, the main legal changes of abortion laws in the last decade are first surveyed. Landmark decisions of the high courts of Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, and Mexico are then analyzed. It is shown that courts have accepted the need to balance interests and competing rights to ground less res…

Diritti per l’educazione. Contesti e orientamenti pedagogici
2020
The book focuses on the Convention on the Right of child as the result of a slow historical, cultural and in particular pedagogical path of progressive discovery of the specific dignity of childhood and adolescence. It is argue that, even if nowadays, more than thirty years after the drafting of the Convention, the attention to the intrinsic dignity of boys and girls, may seem indisputable and obvious, however such an attention is an achievement for a small part of the world and, also woth regard to the so-called advanced society, one might wonder to what extent and in what contexts, the twentieth century was the century of children and what is really, in the century we are living, the care…
Social capital of Ukrainian society after the Revolution of Dignity
2021
This article is devoted to the issue of the social capital of Ukrainian society a few years after the Revolution of Dignity. Its basic goal is to try to answer the question of whether the society, which at the turn of 2013 and 2014 coordinated its activities in order to achieve the common goal: the removal of the former government, set the pro-Western course. Indeed, a civil society was characterized by permanent resources of social capital. In order to get the answer to this question, the article analyses a number of indicators that are customarily related to social capital, such as: the level of trust in individual state and social institutions, the level of involvement in volunteering an…
