Argumentos retóricos sobre Interrupción Voluntaria del Embarazo en Colombia. Análisis jurisprudencial desde la teoría de la argumentación jurídica de…
2011
RESUMENEl presente trabajo aborda los conceptos planteados por Chaïm Perelman en su teoría de la argumentación, con el fin de lograr una comprensión del razonamiento en las decisiones judiciales tomadas por la Corte Constitucional de Colombia, en relación a tres casos sobre interrupción voluntaria del embarazo (IVE). En primer lugar, se aborda la teoría de la “Nueva Retórica” de Chaïm Perelman, y en especial su aplicación en el campo del Derecho. A continuación se hace un breve repaso de las premisas de la argumentación y las técnicas argumentativas manteniendo un enfoque de carácter jurídico. Para finalizar, se analiza la motivación de las sentencias de la Corte Constitucional colombiana …
Effect of angular velocity on soleus and medial gastrocnemius H-reflex during maximal concentric and eccentric muscle contraction.
2009
At rest, the H-reflex is lower during lengthening than shortening actions. During passive lengthening, both soleus (SOL) and medial gastrocnemius (MG) H-reflex amplitudes decrease with increasing angular velocity. This study was designed to investigate whether H-reflex amplitude is affected by angular velocity during concentric and eccentric maximal voluntary contraction (MVC). Experiments were performed on nine healthy men. At a constant angular velocity of 60 degrees /s and 20 degrees /s, maximal H-reflex and M-wave potentials were evoked at rest (i.e., H(max) and M(max), respectively) and during concentric and eccentric MVC (i.e., H(sup) and M(sup), respectively). Regardless of the muscl…
Environmental Voluntary Programs in the Transport Industry in the Post-COVID Situation: The French Experience
2022
This study investigates the drivers impacting the success of the environmental voluntary program recently launched in France. This program, titled EVE (Engagements Volontaires pour l’Environnement), aims to improve transport operators’ efficiency and to reduce CO2 emissions in the environment. Due to the complexity of the context in which the EVE program is implemented, we used a System Dynamics (SD) approach. This study offers multiple contributions. First, studying the dynamic interdependences of voluntary programs aimed at reducing carbon emissions in the transport industry can help policymakers in designing successful policies. In addition, the study can help transport operators engaged…
A fact-finding investigation on Sicilian wine firms attitude towards third party voluntary certifications: motivations and alternative impact assessm…
2015
In the last few decades an increasing emphasis of public and private organization on quality and safety control, on traceability of food products and on environmental issues, has been registered. Mandatory public standards and private voluntary today drive this process in order to assure food safety and traceability standards. The aim of this work is to analyze the main reasons that drives some Sicilian wineries in the adoption of quality voluntary standards, and comparing their economic attitudes and performance with those firms not certified. Results show a very similar performance patterns among the two groups of firms, highlighting a series of differences that are not directly attributa…
Riflessioni sul giudizio di parificazione dei rendiconti regionali
2020
The Italian Court of Auditors (“Corte dei conti”) has jurisdiction and authority to the equalization judgement (“giudizio di parificazione”) of fiscal statements of Italian Regions, which appears as an exam on the legitimacy/rightness of the ways applied by the regional administrations in the construction of their general audit reports taking into consideration the comparison with those decisions assumed in the budget and the adjustments pursuant to the applicable fiscal rules. Therefore, the equalization judgement consists in a check of correspondence, that is to say in the assessment of the variances that, considering the equilibria set forth in the budget, emerge from the final reports, …
Towards Ecoism on the Road of Societal Resilience
2013
How citizens are able to understand eco-responsible conducts and a necessary community-based action in an individual world? With the "Transition Towns MOVIDA" project, we wish to identify levers related to a most collective and sustainable consumption. How our civilization can survive to a collective sclerosis accompanied with doomsayer's messages, increasing complexity and unstable governance? The present proposal consider major terms definition and practices, which can support the bounce to socio-ecological transition. When adaptive principles and practices runs for self-sufficiency and contributes to opportunity, availability or competition in a fragmented warming world, which behavioral…
I colori fra il giallo e l’azzurro del cielo
2017
In Carlo Scarpa’s architecture it is noticeable how colour is able to communicate sensations and emotions. He drew attention to this in many of his constructed spaces, choosing to use the “ephemeral” perception of a colour which changes according to the person who sees it and how he recalls it. This essay will consider the sensory experiences of a possible visitor, highlighting his intimate and privileged relationship with light and colour, by means of the experience carried out by Carlo Scarpa in his re-functionalization of Palazzo Chiaramonte, called Steri, in Palermo. The places designed by Scarpa and carried out by Roberto Calandra, with whom the Venetian maestro enjoyed a complicated a…
La vasectomia a sostegno del piacere: analisi casistica e considerazioni medico legali
2012
In Italy, the resort to vasectomy, surgery adapted to determine an irreversible alteration of the physical state of an individual, resulting in the loss of the ability to procreate, is somewhat reduced compared to the others European countries, even though legitimate, it carries the disadvantage of the absence of a clear and univocal legislation concerning surgical sterilization. Despite, in recent years there has been a change in the assessment of such surgery. Nevertheless, is relevant that in the Italian legal system still lacks a regulatory of such medical-surgery activities, although several bills have been submitted to the competent parliamentary bodies. The attitude of indifference t…
Codesigning technology for a voluntary-sector organization
2019
© 2019 Khushnood Naqshbandi, Simon Hoermann, David Milne, Dorian Peters, Benjamin Davies, Sophie Potter, & Rafael A. Calvo. This paper presents an investigation into the experiences and perceptions of volunteers and community managers of an Australian voluntary-sector organization that supports young help-seeking people. The process focused specifically on the design of a chat tool, a rudimentary version of which was conceptualized and tested during a trial completed prior to this study. The process explored the motivations and experiences of these volunteers using a codesign approach, which led to the development of specific features of the chat tool that were tailored to the nature of the…
Sponsorship in the Finnish sports culture
2009
AbstractThe theoretical assumptions explored with this paper are based on previous sociological studies concerning change in the field of sports. According to previous studies, international top-level sport is characterized by professionalism and a dissociation from the voluntary organizational field of sport. Top-level sports have become professional activities in internationally significant sports. In contrast to this, children’s and youth sports are still based on voluntary participation in Finland. The links between sports and economy have become even stronger since sport has become more professional, especially where sponsorship in toplevel sports has increased. However, sponsorship is…
