Financial Market Development in Emerging Asia: the Corporate Governance Perspective (Presentation Slides)

2018

Presentation on why Asia is different from Europe and the USA from a corporate governance perspective: weak formal institutions (e.g. law enforcement), diverse informal institutions (e.g. in terms of social elite) and with institutional dynamism (ongoing development of regulations, e.g. privatization) using economic liberalization as primary engine of growth.

Performance of a historical cantilever reinforced concrete bridge with half-joint degradation

2022

The lack of maintenance of roadway concrete bridges built from the Second World War until the 70 s of the 20th century has led in recent years to an ever-increasing request for safety assessments. When bridge performance in terms of Serviceability Limit State (SLS) and Ultimate Limit State (ULS) has to be evaluated, in-situ visual inspections and load tests for safety and maintenance assessment have to be coupled with structural analysis. In order to identify a sound bridge structural model and to assess the actual conservation state, more refined models than those usually considered for section and reinforcement design should be used to reproduce the results of load tests and perform globa…

ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis of 1,2-Disubstituted Indoles from α-Aminonitriles and 2-Halobenzyl Halides.

2016

The α-alkylation of deprotonated Strecker products derived from primary amines and aromatic aldehydes with 2-halobenzyl halides furnishes intermediates that can be cyclized to 1,2-disubstituted indoles in moderate to high yields (up to 94% over two steps) by microwave-assisted copper- or palladium-catalyzed intramolecular cross-coupling.

La Corte costituzionale apre al divieto di retroattività del novum penitenziario in malam partem.

2020

With a courageous judgment, the Constitutional Court extends the application scope of art. 25, par. 2, Cost. in the criminal enforcement sector. Censoring the living law, the Court states the prohibition of the retroactivity of the measures more afflictive introduced by law no. 3 of 2019 to convicts who committed the fact before its entry into force. The Author, after dwelling on the new paradigm of "European legality", retraces the salient passages of the decision, from which it draws the innovative message of the Judge of the laws.

IL RISARCIMENTO PER VIOLAZIONI DEL DIRITTO DELLA CONCORRENZA: AMBITO DI APPLICAZIONE E VALUTAZIONE DEL DANNO

2018

Il recepimento in Italia della Direttiva 2014/104/UE presenta molteplici aspetti di rilievo privatistico, specie in ordine alla curvatura cui chiama il rimedio in Tort. l'A. si concentra su due aspetti in particolare della nuova disciplina, vale a dire lo spettro di applicazione del rimedio - questo includendo tanto il piano dei legittimati attivi quanto quello delle fattispecie in relazione alle quali la tutela aquiliana viene prefigurata come attingibile - nonchè le peculiari questioni che la violazione antitrust pone, in termini di quantificazione del danno risarcibile

Aberrant probabilistic reinforcement learning in first-degree relatives of individuals with bipolar disorder

2020

Contains fulltext : 215845.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) Background: Motivational dysregulation represents a core vulnerability factor for bipolar disorder. Whether this also comprises aberrant learning of stimulus-reinforcer contingencies is less clear. Methods: To answer this question, we compared healthy first-degree relatives of individuals with bipolar disorder (n = 42) known to convey an increased risk of developing a bipolar spectrum disorder and healthy individuals (n = 97). Further, we investigated the effects of the behavioral activation system (BAS) on reinforcement learning across the entire sample. All participants were assessed with a probabilistic learning task t…

Warm elaborated feedback. Exploring its benefits on post-feedback behaviour

2019

This study provides evidence on the impact of including warm messages in elaborated feedback. These messages are aimed at the motivational process that can be mobilised by feedback and that which c...

“National Intervention” in International Commercial Arbitration

2019

The use of international arbitration increased over the years as a result of growth in international trade. How the State intervenes in the process concerning the appointment of arbitrators, provisional measures and evidence, and in the enforcement of the judgment after arbitration, is analysed. This State practice is however, difficult to change since international arbitration operates in a structure based on differing national terms, and not on uniform international standards.

Launch lessons from a growing global supplier of industrial equipment

2008

Although the launch phase in New Product Development (NPD) has been recognised as a vital stage affecting the success of new products, it is often poorly managed for various reasons. The purpose of this paper is to understand launch management in its context better by looking at the drivers and bottlenecks of launches inside a young and growing global industrial equipment supplier with the use of a case study method. The findings of the study show that the enforcement of internal marketing, market knowledge use, marketing communications and the organisation of marketing activities and their links to other company functions are the main drivers of a successful launch. The paper presents a la…
