Chiarezza normativa e certezza del diritto nell'attività del Comitato per la legislazione del primo biennio (1998-1999)

2004

Sempre più negli ordinamenti contemporanei si registra un legame tra l'uso delle diverse fonti normative e gli equilibri della forma di governo. La crescita del peso dell'esecutivo, infatti, si accompagna ad una crescita dei poteri normativi del governo, che mette in luce l'ulteriore esigenza di procedere ad una semplificazione dell'ordinamento e di garantire la chiarezza dei suoi atti. A tale scopo è intervenuta la modifica del regolamento della Camera dei deputati del 1998, che ha riformato e ridefinito l'attività di istruttoria legislativa, svolta dalle Commissioni competenti per materia nel corso del procedimento legislativo; ma sopratutto ha introdotto un nuovo organo, il Comitato per …

Brevi note sull'attività del Comitato per la legislazione nel primo anno della XVI legislatura

2009

L'esame dell'attività normativa nel primo anno della XVI legislatura conferma le difficoltà già note, riflesso del difficile rapporto tra il governo e la sua maggioranza politica. Ancora una volta il Comitato per la legislazione mette in evidenza i profili problematici, attraverso modalità di espressione del parere, come il ricorso all'opinione dissenziente, che confermano il carattere tecnico ed oggettivo della sua analisi.

Comment on: A critical analysis of the internal logic in the Life-Space Assessment (LSA) composite score and suggested solutions

2016

Background:An individual’s ability to live independently is commonly measured in health research interested in identifying risk factors associated with disablement processes. In order to inform clinical practice, population research has attempted to identify the contraction of “lived-space” by using various survey instruments.Problem:Studies assessing habitual movements over the environment with the Life-Space Assessment (LSA) survey instrument should carefully consider how the LSA Composite Score (LSA-CS) is computed. Until now, no publication has carefully delineated the assumptions guiding the internal logic used in the computation of the LSA-CS.Core argument:Because the internal logic o…

A Cognitive Framework for Imitation Learning

2006

Abstract In order to have a robotic system able to effectively learn by imitation, and not merely reproduce the movements of a human teacher, the system should have the capabilities of deeply understanding the perceived actions to be imitated. This paper deals with the development of cognitive architecture for learning by imitation in which a rich conceptual representation of the observed actions is built. The purpose of the following discussion is to show how this Conceptual Area can be employed to efficiently organize perceptual data, to learn movement primitives from human demonstration and to generate complex actions by combining and sequencing simpler ones. The proposed architecture ha…

Cognitive Mimetics for Designing Intelligent Technologies

2018

Design mimetics is an important method of creation in technology design. Here, we review design mimetics as a plausible approach to address the problem of how to design generally intelligent technology. We argue that design mimetics can be conceptually divided into three levels based on the source of imitation. Biomimetics focuses on the structural similarities between systems in nature and technical solutions for solving design problems. In robotics, the sensory-motor systems of humans and animals are a source of design solutions. At the highest level, we introduce the concept of cognitive mimetics, in which the source for imitation is human information processing. We review and discuss so…

Differences in Immaterial Details: Dimensional Conversion and Its Implications for Protecting Digital Designs Under EU Design Law

2021

AbstractThe paper considers three main questions: the legal status of digital designs from the perspective of EU design law, whether the protection is tied to the reproduction of physical products, and whether the scope of protection covers dimensional conversion such as using a 3D design in 2D form or vice versa. There are two sets of views regarding dimensional conversion: the “abstract” and the “concrete” view. These two different attitudes towards the scope of protection influence the manner in which the protectability of digital designs is assessed. In the “abstract” protection, it would not matter whether a product only exists as a digital image and not as a physical shape. In the “co…

The impact of mimicry on sales – Evidence from field and lab experiments

2011

A buyer's observation that one or more people are consuming a product can lead that buyer to consume the product as well. The evidence supporting unconscious and unintentional (automatic) mimicry of consumption suggests that it is a pervasive and robust phenomenon. However, up until now most findings on the antecedents of mimicry have been obtained from lab studies. Using a field study, the current research shows that passengers in a train mimic the consumption behavior of other passengers. Two subsequent lab studies suggest that mimicry of consumption is all the more powerful the more people there are consuming and the more intense and consistent their consumption behavior is. However, the…

Education, Growth and Development

2016

The link between higher-education investment and growth is more relevant when a country’s economy is no longer based on imitation, and begins to rely instead, on innovation as the main engine for growth. The knowledge triangle – research, education and innovation – was a core factor in European efforts to meet the Lisbon strategy and its stated objective that knowledge should help the European economy become the most dynamic knowledge-based one in the world. The failure of the Lisbon strategy was later conducive to a new ambitious scheme, namely Horizon 2020. Human capital, when transposed to educational matters, helps put forward an assessment of the relevance of the neo-Schumpeterian view…

Effects of an Individualized Active Aging Counseling Intervention on Mobility and Physical Activity: Secondary Analyses of a Randomized Controlled Tr…

2020

Objectives: The aim of this study was to report preplanned secondary analyses of the effects of a 12-month individualized active aging counseling intervention on six mobility and physical activity outcomes. Methods: A two-arm, single-blinded randomized controlled trial was conducted among 75- and 80-year-old community-dwelling people. The intervention group (IG, n = 101) received counseling aimed at increasing self-selected, primarily out-of-home activity. The control group (CG, n = 103) received general health information. Data were analyzed with generalized estimating equations. Results: Physical performance improved in the IG more than that in the CG (group by time p = .022), self-repor…
