Psychological support and psychotherapy via digital devices in Covid-19 emergency time: Some critical issues

2020

The Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting fear, quarantine and lockdown measures implemented in Italy and other countries to contain the risk of contagion have seriously impacted the mental health of a large number of people. The need to offer psychological and psychotherapeutic support to these people, while respecting the government’s pressing calls to “stay home”, have led many psychologists and psychotherapists, both in the public and private sectors, to provide their professional services via teleconference, telephone, smartphone, etc. The aim of this work is to highlight some critical issues related to the sudden switch from the traditional method of providing psychological services to…

Imbalance of Power: Social Service Entrepreneurss Experiences of Entrepreneur-Municipality Relationship

2014

We investigate the complex dynamics between social service entrepreneurs and social sector managers through the lens of network metaphor, utilizing our data on social service entrepreneurs’ experiences of cooperation with municipalities. We examine what kinds of dependencies exist in the entrepreneur–municipality relationships and what kind of consequences these dependencies have on social service businesses run by entrepreneurs. Basing on the social service entrepreneurs experience, our findings suggest that while the cooperation with the municipality represents a prerequisite for success, their business represent only one alternative for the renewal of social service structures from the p…

Incentive Schemes, Private Information and the Double-Edged Role of Competition for Agents

2013

This paper examines the effect of imperfect labor market competition on the efficiency of compensation schemes in a setting with moral hazard and risk-averse agents, who have private information on their productivity. Two vertically differentiated firms compete for agents by offering contracts with fixed and variable payments. The superior firm employs both agent types in equilibrium, but the competitive pressure exerted by the inferior firm has a strong impact on contract design: For high degrees of vertical differentiation, i.e. low competition, low-ability agents are under-incentivized and exert too little effort. For high degrees of competition, high-ability agents are over-incentivized…

The protection of minority shareholders during delisting in Germany and in the U.K.

2020

The thesis seeks to compare the protection of minority shareholders during delisting in Germany and in the UK. Delisting refers to a publicly traded company leaving the stock market. In order to compare the protection afforded by the relevant legislator the thesis first seeks to give an overview of the interests touched upon by delisting, finding the main risk for minority shareholders is unlike often assumed not a loss of value but the loss of the share’s tradability. The thesis then compares the approach taken towards the problem and the instruments utilized by both legislators. Here the thesis finds that the German law represents a stricter and inflexible solution, while the British law …

The dynamics of private property: between individual rights and common interests

2021

The present research explores the tension implicit in the right to property as an exclusionary right. The conceptualization of the right to property as a necessary component of individual freedom stands at odds with a universal exercise of the right in the context of scarcity. Both moral and economic considerations align in the necessity for property, but these justifications are of a principally divergent order. The natural law perspective is predominantly anchored in the atomic – the interest of the individual in personal freedom and well-being. The focal point of the economics approach is in the aggregate – the benefit to be reaped in the rights’ systematic application. The present work …

Menores, víctimas directas de la violencia de género

2016

La violencia de género se suele ejercer en el ámbito privado o familiar, motivo por el cual, los hijos pueden considerarse tanto víctimas directas por sufrir violencia física o psicológica, como indirectas al ser testigos de la violencia ejercida sobre sus progenitoras por parte de la persona vinculada afectivamente. En los últimos años, y a pesar de los esfuerzos institucionales en aras de proteger a los menores, la violencia ejercida sobre los mismos ha elevado a 41 el número de víctimas mortales en España desde 2008 hasta septiembre de 2015. El objetivo del presente trabajo es divulgar la cifra de menores fallecidos víctimas de violencia de género, así como elaborar un posible perfil vic…
