Management of Distribution Risks and Digital Transformation of Insurance Distribution—A Regulatory Gap in the IDD

2021

The Insurance Distribution Directive (IDD) aims to regulate insurance distribution in the EU regardless of distribution channels and means. Although new technologies affect insurance distribution, the IDD does not explicitly regulate this digital transformation. Insurers and intermediaries must comply with detailed business conduct rules that aim to counteract distribution risks. However, the IDD exempts ancillary insurance intermediaries from its scope when they meet certain conditions. The article highlights the regulatory framework on insurance, requiring insurers and intermediaries to address distribution risks, and analyses how this exemption affects the management of distribution risk…

Low back pain, work absenteeism, chronic back disorders, and clinical findings in the low back as predictors of hospitalization due to low back disor…

2005

Study Design. Prospective cohort study. Objective. To study symptoms, chronic disorders, and clinical findings in the low back, and work absenteeism, as predictors of hospitalization. Summary of Background Data. Socioeconomic and lifestyle factors are associated with back-related hospitalization, but the significance in the working normal population of low back symptoms and clinical findings are not known. Methods. The cohort (n = 902) was drawn in 1973 from among employees in the metal industry (n = 2,653). The data were collected by questionnaire and a structured clinical assessment by a physiotherapist. Weight was measured. A sum score of local and radiating low back symptoms (frequency …

Una propuesta para trabajar la proporción desde el arte

2013

[EN] We present a proposal addressed to students of the first courses of ESO. Through these activities, pupils will work concepts related with proportionality. Our proposal is developed along art history, the students will acquire skills related with proportionality through the uses the artists have done throughout history. Through a route beginning in ancient Egypt and ending in today Athens, students will act as the artists, architects or even tour guides to deal with technical problems and solve them mathematically. Some of the activities have been already implemented in the project Estalmat CV (a mathematic stimulation program for talented students) and later adapted to a conventional c…

U.I.R.D.A. – Unbuilt Italian Rationalism Digital Archive

2018

For twenty years, the architecture of Italian rationalism through the digital modelling has been investigated. Very often, the production of a model and the consequent representation of tridimensional views, in many case studies, as outcome of the research on architecture have been considered. Actually, the digital model, intended as a critical tool, has to be conceived as a ‘starting point' for graphic analysis of architecture and not as the outcome. Indeed, it is associated to other graphics, sometimes not ‘deducted' from the model, useful for the understanding/translation of architecture. The construction of the model is not the construction of a simple image, operation, which is often c…

On the Talmud Division: Equity and Robustness

2008

The Talmud Division is a very old method of sharin g developed by the rabbis in the Talmud and brought to the fore in the modern area s ome authors, among them are Aumann and Maschler. One compares the Talmud Division to other methods, mainly here the most popular, Aristotle's Proportional Division, but also to the equal division. The Talmud Division is more egalitarian than the Proportional Division for smal l levels of estate and conversely and it protects the weakest -those who cannot place a non-zero clai m-. This suggests that claimants may choose among the claiming methods depending on their interest, what implies a metagame. Unlike other methods as the Proportional Division, the Talm…

The Large Observatory for X-ray Timing (LOFT)

2012

High-time-resolution X-ray observations of compact objects provide direct access to strong-field gravity, to the equation of state of ultra-dense matter and to black hole masses and spins. A 10 m^2-class instrument in combination with good spectral resolution is required to exploit the relevant diagnostics and answer two of the fundamental questions of the European Space Agency (ESA) Cosmic Vision Theme "Matter under extreme conditions", namely: does matter orbiting close to the event horizon follow the predictions of general relativity? What is the equation of state of matter in neutron stars? The Large Observatory For X-ray Timing (LOFT), selected by ESA as one of the four Cosmic Vision M…

The Protection of the Right of Freedom on the European Union Level: The European Arrest Warrant and Non-custodial Pre Trial Measures. The Guideline o…

2012

“Protection of fundamental rights in particular must be central to the operation of the system:” this formula, found at the heart of the most recent official assessment of the EAW (2011), perfectly summarizes, in terms of political policy, the progressive shift of emphasis from efficiency and security towards the primacy of the protection of individual rights across the entire field of EU measures restricting individual liberty. The experience gained in terms of the principle of proportionality thus becomes a basic paradigm for the interpretation of the system in terms of applied law. The three levels through which the filter of proportionality has operated in the system of the EAW (multile…

Electro- and magneto-electrochemistry of zeolite Y- and MCM-41-associated bipyrylium ion

2005

Abstract The electrochemical response of bipyrylium bication [1,4-bis(3,5-diphenyl-4-pyrylium)phenylene] associated with Y and MCM-41 aluminosilicates (BTP@Y and BTP@MCM, respectively) is described using polymer-film electrodes immersed into Et 4 N +  + MeCN and Bu 4 N +  + MeCN electrolytes. BTP@MCM provides a solution-like response in all electrolytes consisting in two successive strongly comproportionation mediated one-electron reduction processes near to +0.05 and −0.12 V vs. Ag|AgCl. The response of BTP@Y in Bu 4 N +  + MeCN is restricted to a unique reduction process near to −0.40 V, while in Et 4 N +  + MeCN, it differs significantly: here, two reduction processes at −0.22 and −0.36 …
