The Role of the Prefect in the Italian Legal System
2014
Any approach to the prefectoral institute, as it appears today as result of the recent changes introduced in the Italian legal system over the last years, cannot be reconstructed by starting from government representation, and consequently, from the fundamental character of several competences of the Prefect in Italy in the light of the deep reforms of the Italian public administration in the perspective of the “multi-level constitutionalism” the progressive emergence and developments of organs, structure and procedures that create legal norms and impose such norms on citizens of different national states3.
Don't Tell Us: The Demand for Secretive Behaviour
2009
The matter studied here is how, and with what implications, people may decide that they do not want to be let into secrets that concern them. They could get the information at no cost but they refuse to know. The reasoning is framed in terms of principals and agents, with the principals assumed not to want to know the agents' secrets. For convenience, the context chosen for the exposition is mainly that of voters as principals and the government or the office-holders as agents. After some exploration of the motivations underlying the attitude of the principals, the paper focuses on the case when neither total secrecy nor total disclosure prevails. The demand for partial secrecy is analysed …
The Human-Animal Relationship and the Musical Metaphor in The Great Animal Orchestra by Bernie Krause
2018
Taking as case study the discourse of The Great Animal Orchestra, the following paper presents the sociosemiotic analysis carried out on the work by Bernie Krause, focusing especially on the analysis of the CD The Great Animal Orchestra Symphony, of the exposition Le Grand Orchestre des Animaux and of the related Internet sites, which followed his first wider public presentation The Great Animal Orchestra: Finding the Origins of Music in the World’s Wild Places. Through the musical metaphor, Krause’s discourse calls again into question the human-animal relationship, reversing the common meanings – this discovered animal culture stands opposite to contemporary human barbarity – and approachi…

Influence of sodium bicarbonate treatment on the aging resistance of natural fiber reinforced polymer composites under marine environment
2019
Abstract Aim of the current study is to investigate how an innovative and eco-friendly chemical treatment based on sodium bicarbonate solution (10 wt%) can improve the aging resistance in marine environment of epoxy based composites, reinforced with flax and jute fibers. To this scope, treated and untreated fiber reinforced composites were manufactured through vacuum infusion technique. The resulting composites were then exposed to salt-fog spray conditions up to 60 days, according to ASTM B117 standard. The assessment of their durability was made by means of tensile, flexural quasi-static tests and Charpy impact tests. Furthermore, the water uptake evolution of each composite was monitored…
