Disinformation and Hate Speech: A European Constitutional Perspective

2020

What balance should be struck between freedom of expression, as an essential right and value of any democratic society, and other constitutional rights when facing falsehood and extreme speech? How are Europe and legislators around the world reacting to the rise of online disinformation and hate speech, in the wake of mounting evidence of adverse effects on democratic processes? What is the most effective approach to address and tackle harmful practices over the Internet, if any? These are some of the pivotal questions that this book seeks to explore.

Parole cattive: la libertà di espressione tra linguaggio, diritto e filosofia

2022

Questo libro parla del lato oscuro – offensivo, violento, ingannevole – delle parole. Lo fa mettendo in dialogo studiosi di competenza diversa, tutti mossi dalla profonda consapevolezza dei dirompenti effetti delle parole sulla vita delle persone. Si tratta, dunque, di un dialogo sul potere delle parole; o meglio, di un insieme di quattro dialoghi tematici su differenti questioni che sorgono quando si ragioni su quel potere. Il paradosso del cospirazionista come parresiasta, che afferma cose contrarie all’evidenza, pretendendo di svelare così verità nascoste. Il rapporto fra verità e libertà di parola: qual è il modo più ragionevole di tenere insieme libertà di parola, verità scientifica e …

Effect of pH on biological phosphorus uptake.

2006

An anaerobic aerobic laboratory scale sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was operated to study the effect of pH on enhanced biological phosphorus removal. Seven steady states were achieved under different operating conditions. In all of them, a slight variation in the pH value was observed during anaerobic phase. However, pH rose significantly during aerobic phase. The increase observed was due to phosphorus uptake and carbon dioxide stripping. When pH was higher than 8.2-8.25 the phosphorus uptake rate clearly decreased. The capability of Activated Sludge Model No. 2d (ASM2d) and Biological Nutrient Removal Model No. 1 (BNRM1) to simulate experimental results was evaluated. Both models success…

Candida albicans TDH3 gene promotes secretion of internal invertase when expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydr…

2003

We have checked the ability of the Candida albicans GAPDH polypeptide, which lacks a conventional N-terminal signal peptide, to reach the cell wall in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by using an intracellular form of the yeast invertase as a reporter protein. A hybrid TDH3-SUC2 gene containing the C. albicans TDH3 promoter sequences and a coding region encoding a fusion protein formed by the C. albicans GAPDH polypeptide, fused at its C-terminus with the yeast internal invertase, was constructed in a centromer derivative plasmid and transformed into a Suc(-) S. cerevisiae strain. Transformants displayed invertase activity measured in intact whole cells, and were able to grow on sucrose as the sole…

Effect of micro-aeration and leachate replacement on COD solubilization and VFA production during mono-digestion of grass-silage in one-stage leach-b…

2010

The effect of micro-aeration and leachate replacement with fresh water on chemical oxygen demand (COD) solubilization and volatile fatty acid (VFA) production during the mono-digestion of grass-silage in one-stage leach-bed reactors (LBRs) was investigated in four LBRs, L0 (control), L1, L2 and L3 in batch mode at 35 + or - 1 degrees Celsius for 57 days. Results showed that leachate replacement without pH adjustment (L3) resulted in 2.7 and 1.3 times more SCOD in the leachate compared to control (L0) or leachate replacement with initial pH adjustment (L1), respectively. Micro-aeration at flow rate of 1 L min(-1) (2.5 L of air) in L2 resulted in 4-fold increase in VFA production (from 2.2 to…

Effect of macro and micro nutrients addition during anaerobic mono-digestion of grass silage in leach-bed reactors

2019

The effect of macro- (NH4Cl) (set I) and micro-nutrients (Fe, Ni, Co and Mo) (set II) addition on chemical oxygen demand (COD) solubilisation during anaerobic mono-digestion of grass silage was investigated in two sets of leach bed reactor experiments at 35°C. Results showed that addition of NH4Cl and micro-nutrients improved COD solubilisation by 18% (0.56 g SCOD g−1 volatile solids) and 7% (0.45 g SCOD g−1 VS), respectively than control. About 20–50% of the added micro-nutrients were bioavailable in the produced leachates, while the rest (50–80%) were adsorbed onto the grass silage. Results of biological methane potential assays showed that, specific methane yields of grass silage were im…

Modular Metal Chalcogenide Chemistry: Secondary Building Blocks as a Basis of the Silicate-Type Framework Structure of CsLiU(PS4)2

2011

The novel uranium thiophosphate CsLiU(PS4)2 has been synthesized by reacting uranium metal, Cs2S, Li2S, S, and P2S5 at 700 °C in an evacuated silica tube. The crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. CsLiU(PS4)2 crystallizes in the rhombohedral space group Rc (a = 15.2797(7) A; c = 28.778(2) A, V = 5818.7(5) A3, Z = 18). The structure ofCsLiU(PS4)2 is a unique three-dimensional U(PS4)22– framework with large tunnels with an approximate diameter of 6.6 A running parallel to the crystallographic c axis. The tunnels are filled with Cs+ cations. The smaller Li+ cations are located at tetrahedral sites at the periphery of the channels. In the structure of …
