L'affitto d'azienda nel fallimento
La proposta esegetica del presente lavoro si articola su due livelli. Sul primo, l'affitto endofallimentare è visto come strumento di riallocazione del rischio di impresa nell'insolvenza, dai creditori al terzo affittuario, e di ripristino del fisiologico rapporto tra potere gestorio e business risk, tipico dell'impresa in bonis. Sul secondo, l'istituto è inquadrato non come anomalia sistematica, ma come coerente momento di valorizzazione della massa attiva da liquidarsi, in una mutata concezione della fase liquidatoria fallimentare, necessariamente integrante un momento gestionale che, per la res azienda, coincide con la continuazione dell'impresa.
Screening of lactic acid bacteria for their use as aromatic starters during fermentation of vegetables
2020
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have good growth capacities on various food matrices and produce very diverse enzymatic activities which are notably capable of positively modifying the organoleptic properties of fermented foods. Therefore, the selection of the LAB starters possessing good metabolic abilities and interesting enzymatic activities towards the plant matrix could improve the aroma profiles of fermented foods. The main objective of this study was to enhance the aroma profiles of fermented tomatoes by using the biotechnological pathway. To achieve this, firstly, 200 LAB isolated from Cambodian and Vietnamese fermented foods were screened for their β-glucosidase activity and duplicate i…
Minimal clinically important difference and minimal detectable change of the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0…
2020
Objectives: The aim of this study is to estimate a minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and a minimal detectable change (MDC) of the 12-item WHODAS 2.0 amongst patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain. Design: Cross-sectional cohort study. Setting: Outpatient Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine clinic. Subjects: A total of 1988 consecutive patients with musculoskeletal pain. Interventions: A distribution-based approach was employed to estimate a minimal clinically important difference, a minimal detectable change, and a minimal detectable percent change (MDC%). Results: The mean age of the patients was 48 years, and 65% were women. The average intensity of pain was 6,3 (2.0) po…
Thermal and structural properties of a hemp–lime biocomposite
2013
Abstract The need to reduce greenhouse gases emission produced by the building sector leads to the research of renewable and less impacting materials that can replace traditional ones. This subject has encouraged new researches on biocomposite concretes with the aim to exploit renewable resources like vegetal fibres intended as materials whose production processes are generally characterized by low costs and energy demand. This biocomposite is obviously much lighter than concrete and, therefore, can be suitably used in such cases where a structure cannot be overloaded, for instance in the realization of a green covering on top of a preexistent building. In this work, a first analysis of the…
Dry chlorination of spent nickel metal hydride battery waste for water leaching of battery metals and rare earth elements
2022
An efficient leaching process was developed for nickel, cobalt, and the rare earth elements (REEs) from spent nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery waste. The process involves dry chlorination with ammonium chloride in low temperature to produce water-soluble chlorinated compounds, followed by simple water leaching. The factors affecting the conversion and solubilization were studied, including the amount of ammonium chloride, residence time and temperature in dry chlorination, and solid to liquid ratio, time and temperature in water leaching. As a result, the dry chlorination process was found to produce ammonium and chloride containing products, depending on the temperature of the process: …

Perceptual blending in odor mixtures depends on the nature of odorants and human olfactory expertise.
2012
International audience; Our olfactory system is confronted with complex mixtures of odorants, often recognized as single entities due to odor blending (e.g., coffee). In contrast, we are also able to discriminate odors from complex mixtures (e.g., off-odors). Therefore, the olfactory system is able to engage either configural or elemental processes when confronted with mixtures. However, the rules that govern the involvement of these processes during odor perception remain poorly understood. In our first experiment, we examined whether simple odorant mixtures (binary/ternary) could elicit configural perception. Twenty untrained subjects were asked to evaluate the odor typicality of mixtures…
Cultural impact on international branding : a case of marketing Finnish mobile phones in China
2001
Hundreds of Finnish brands have been launched in China. How do the Chinese perceive these brands and think about the brand names in Chinese? Will the Chinese associate the images with Finland? And what is Finland in Chinese eyes? … In short, how to manage a brand in China? Finnish corporations usually practice three types of branding approaches. The first one is to keep every elements of the brand exactly the same as it in European market and only to substitute the original text with Chinese characters. Only a few companies apply this approach because people are more aware of the impact of cultural differences. Slogans, for example, may not have the same persuasive power and effectiveness i…
Inapplicabile l'art. 129 c.p.p. dopo l'opposizione al decreto penale di condanna
2011
Con la pronuncia in esame la Corte, nel suo ampio consesso, ha posto fine a un contrasto che ha diviso la giurisprudenza sul punto relativo all’applicabilità dell’art. 129 c.p.p. nello stato del procedimento monitorio che prende avvio con l’atto di opposizione. In particolare le Sezioni Unite hanno sciolto il dubbio iniziale se la sentenza di proscioglimento pronunciata de plano ex art. 129 c.p.p. dal giudice per le indagini preliminari dopo l’opposizione al decreto penale di condanna debba considerarsi o no provvedimento abnorme, optando per la soluzione positiva.
