La maestranza dei muratori e degli intagliatori di Cefalù: i capitoli del 1631
2016
In età moderna le maestranze si configurano come un’associazione, alla cui attività devozionale e assi- stenziale si aggiunge quella economica e giurisdizionale, in rapporto all’esercizio di un’arte, ossia di un mestiere. Relativamente al settore edile, a partire dalla fine del Quattrocento vengono stilati gli statuti delle corporazioni delle principali città siciliani, quali Palermo (1487), Siracusa (1515), Modica (1541- 1542), Messina (1559), Nicosia (1560) e Trapani (1598), mentre al 1631 risale l’istituzione della Maestranza dei muratori e degli intagliatori di Cefalù; infatti, come risulta dagli atti del notaio locale Calogero D’Anna, l’11 febbraio di quell’anno vennero redatti i Capit…
Gli obblighi europei di tutela penale dell'ambiente tra responsabilità individuali e corporative. L'attuazione della direttiva 2008/99/CE in Italia, …
La tesi affronta il tema della tutela penale dell'ambiente in chiave europea, vero e proprio banco di prova per le possibilità e i limiti dell'armonizzazione europea dei sistemi penali degli Stati membri. La legislazione ambientale, invero, ha assunto un ruolo emblematico nel percorso che ha condotto alla progressiva estensione della competenza normativa europea al campo penale: è in tale campo di materia, infatti, che si è registrata per la prima volta l'adozione di direttive di armonizzazione penale. Ci si interroga, dunque, sull’ "effetto utile" degli obblighi di criminalizzazione promananti dal legislatore europeo sul fronte dell'armonizzazione delle legislazioni penali nazionali di set…

INDIVIDUAL LIABILITY FOR BUSINESS INVOLVEMENT IN INTERNATIONAL CRIMES. THE CRUCIAL ISSUE OF (SO-CALLED) ‘NEUTRAL ACTS’
2021
The intertwining between individual and collective level in international crimes is tested on the possible co-responsibility of corporations and heads of businesses who carry out economic activities in various ways functional to the commission of such crimes by the military or political leaders of a group or a state. On the basis of the principle of self-responsibility, related to the individual criminal responsibility (art. 25 Rome Statute), the consequent assessment of the facts in question is easier for business activities directly instrumental to violent acts. It is more problematic, in- stead, for ordinary business activities, which therefore appear neutral and unrelated to the illicit…
Patrones de evolución de filiales en entornos volátiles
2010
En este trabajo se aplican y se extienden los patrones de evolución de filiales planteados por Birkinshaw y Hood, al estudiar la influencia de los entornos volátiles sobre los procesos de evolución de las filiales de empresas multinacionales. Utilizando una metodología cualitativa a través de 41 estudios de casos de filiales de diversos sectores localizadas en Venezuela, se observó que las mismas siguen procesos conducentes a la mejora, el refuerzo y al declive de sus roles. En los resultados se identifican a la matriz y la propia filial como impulsores de esos procesos, pero se aprecia también al entorno local como determinante de la evolución de las filiales, con lo cual se extienden los …
Surgical management of retinal detachment because of macular hole in highly myopic eyes
2012
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to review the current management of macular hole retinal detachment in highly myopic eyes. METHODS: We searched English MEDLINE databases from January 1997 to January 2011 for surgical management of macular hole retinal detachment in highly myopic eyes. The main outcomes reported include retinal reattachment and visual acuity after primary surgery. RESULTS: Surgical procedures including pneumoretinopexy, pars plana vitrectomy with gas or silicone oil tamponade with or without laser therapy around the macular hole, and macular buckling have been the primary treatment choices. New techniques, including internal limiting membrane or epiretinal membrane pe…
Perceptions about physical activity and its associated benefits among employees : case study in 12 Multinational Companies in Pakistan
2016
This thesis focus on the perceptions of the employees working in Multinational Corporations (MNCs) in Pakistan, with regards to their physical activity and its associated benefits. Previous research has shown that physical activity is positively associated with on-job productivity and life satisfaction of the employees across the world. With no such research being carried out in Pakistan before, this thesis aims to focus on the same factors, but uses employees’ perceptions rather than employing an intervention study. Furthermore associated benefits of physical activity such as reduced healthcare cost, decrease in exposure to various heath-risks and reduced presenteeism were also addressed w…
Traction test of temporary dental cements
2017
Background Classic self-curing temporary cements obstruct the translucence of provisional restorations. New dual-cure esthetic temporary cements need investigation and comparison with classic cements to ensure that they are equally retentive and provide adequate translucence. The objective is to analyze by means of traction testing in a in vitro study the retention of five temporary cements. Material and methods Ten molars were prepared and ten provisional resin restorations were fabricated using CAD-CAM technology (n=10). Five temporary cements were selected: self-curing temporary cements, Dycal (D), Temp Bond (TB), Temp Bond Non Eugenol (TBNE); dual-curing esthetic cements Temp Bond Clear…
