Hacia la ley europea del clima: las evaluaciones científicas y el futuro papel de las respuestas jurídicas de los estados miembros

2021

Los problemas climáticos son temas persistentes y omnipresentes dentro de las políticas y legislaciones contemporáneas, que exigen un enfoque interdisciplinario para promover soluciones jurídicas adecuadas para la complejidad del tema. Paradójicamente, las propagandas negacionistas, lejos de bloquear las acciones climáticas, las han propiciado, lo que ha llevado al establecimiento de un organismo científico super partes que reconociese las cuestiones climáticas a través de informes científicos avanzados: el Grupo Intergubernamental de Expertos sobre el Cambio Climático de la ONU (IPCC). Desde entonces, muchos países han usado los hallazgos del IPCC como base científica para desarrollar polí…

Futuro profesional de los menores y ejercicio de la patria potestad

2021

The personal decision about the professional future of the minor, constitutes an aspect of the development of his free personality, and, like every decision that affects him, it must be adopted considering the principle of the best interests of the child. The parents, in the exercise of parental authority, have the legal representation of their minor children, except for the acts related to the personality rights, which can be carried out by the minor child himself if he is mature enough. When personality rights and economic rights converge, it is necessary to determine the role the parents play, which in the end will always have to be the protection and respect for their children?s rights.

El consentimiento en el proceso penal : ¿un oxímoron?

2021

We are involved in a moment of deep changes in Criminal Procedure due, among other reasons, to the permanent expansion of Criminal Law. Legislative modifications have taken place one another over the world and they have led to a functional reformulation of the role played by the protagonists of Criminal Procedure. These changes have not finished yet and the future is still to come, but new elements are already emerging: the consent of the actors of the process and of the victims and the reinforcement of the principle of opportunity are undoubtedly some of them. Probation, diversion, compliance, criminal mediation are institutions that stand on the principle of consent for procedural purpose…

Fundamentals of 3D imaging and displays: a tutorial on integral imaging, light-field, and plenoptic systems

2018

There has been great interest in researching and implementing effective technologies for the capture, processing, and display of 3D images. This broad interest is evidenced by widespread international research and activities on 3D technologies. There is a large number of journal and conference papers on 3D systems, as well as research and development efforts in government, industry, and academia on this topic for broad applications including entertainment, manufacturing, security and defense, and biomedical applications. Among these technologies, integral imaging is a promising approach for its ability to work with polychromatic scenes and under incoherent or ambient light for scenarios fro…

Not So Much Societal: The Catholic Church in Poland as a Veto Player

2021

George Tsebelis distinguished two forms of veto players’ actions: institutional and partisan. In a democracy, the Church is not able to play either role because it is not an element of the state’s institutional structure. This was the source for Simon Fink’s proposal to look at the Church as a societal veto player (VP). The case of Poland shows, however, that such an approach becomes inadequate in numerous situations. The Church’s influence on political parties, and particularly the state’s institutions, may be exerted outside society. Performed on the basis of the existing literature and political debates conducted since 1989, the analysis of the social and political reality of Poland all…

Integrating the Real and Virtual World for Academic Language Education in Second Life

2013

This chapter focuses on a Second Language Acquisition (SLA) study conducted in virtual worlds that could help teachers in terms of knowledge about acquisition processes, in which technology is integration between formal and non formal education. The research comprises of two studies strongly focused on the development of Italian oral language proficiency. It was held within Second Life® (SL™)1 in order to explore the affordances of public spaces to enhance Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC)2 and to stimulate the oral production through learner’s engagement. Since 2007, a new pilot project, Café Italia, was developed by Carmela Dell’Aria (aka Misy Ferraris) in Second Life®. Startin…

Phone-Controlled Delivery of NGN Services into Residential Environments

2008

The horizontally layered architecture of the IMS/NGN standards family enables the delivery of services independent of access network and requesting device. In this article, the authors propose a further separation of service control and delivery, allowing the requesting device - in particular a user's mobile phone - to invite other devices (we will focus on DLNA appliances) into the service delivery, enhancing both user experience and service design flexibility. The proposed solution builds on exploiting proximity technologies (e.g. barcodes, NFC) for pairing the control device with a remote environment. Motivated by scenarios, the architecture concepts are explained and a prototype that wa…

Impact of viewing distance on relative depth judgements for stimuli in physical space

2019

In natural viewing, numerous depth cues are available to the visual system, but their significance varies considerably depending on the viewing distance. How is it reflected in the outcome of depth judgements? We have designed a psychophysical experiment with a limited number of depth cues to examine distance-related changes in the correct response rate and time. Twenty young adults evaluated relative depth of stimuli in physical space. Each time four constant angular size achromatic stimuli were presented on a volumetric multi-planar display. One of these stimuli was demonstrated closer to the observer comparing to others. The experiment followed the four-interval forced-choice procedure. …

An approximation to the diachronic analysis of mitigation and face in dialogues between mother and child in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries

2018

Este artículo aborda la evolución del uso de la atenuación en los diálogos madre-hijo y sus efectos en la imagen sociocultural en los siglos XIX y XX. Para ello, utilizando como corpus cuatro obras de teatro de este periodo, se analiza cualitativa y cuantitativamente el empleo de la atenuación como estrategia pragmática en los actos directivos realizados en la proyección de estas relaciones. Los resultados de este estudio apuntan a que se ha producido una evolución desde la jerarquía hacia una progresiva solidaridad. This paper aims to analyse the evolution of the use of mitigation in dialogues between mother and child and their effects on sociocultural face in the nineteenth and twentieth …
