L'incidenza dell'elemento religioso nelle elezioni europee
No full textThis short contribution aims to map the impact of religion on the European Parliament elections in 2024. After retracing the complex position of religion within the European Union, the article addresses the relevance of religious concerns in supranational politics against the background of the relative decline of Christian democracy, the emergence of populism, and the emergence of identitarian constitutional narratives in which religion plays a significant role. A comparative analysis of the manifestos of the main European political parties shows that religion, despite its relatively minor role, is far from being irrelevant and may be relied upon for several purposes
LA SEGNALAZIONE DI POTENZIALI VULNERABILITÀ NELLA LEGGE SULLA CYBERSICUREZZA: UNA PROBLEMATICA ESIGENZA DI COORDINAMENTO
No full textA literature review of systemic risk management and the role of stakeholders
No full textFrame of the research: This study examines the relationship between non financial risk governance, stakeholders, and management controls, employing a literature review and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). The findings indicate which configurations of controls and stakeholder involvement are necessary or sufficient for effective risk management, highlighting the pivotal role of stakeholders.
Purpose of the paper: This paper explores the relationship between non-financial risk governance, the role of stakeholders, and management control objects. It aims to fill a gap in the literature by investigating how specific configurations of controls and stakeholder engagement contribute to systemic risk governance.
Methodology: This study conducted a literature review combined with a fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to examine and identify which management
controls should be adopted to address various aspects of systemic risk management. This study also investigated stakeholder engagement in risk management processes. The fsQCA method was chosen for its ability to detect complex and non-linear relationships. A detailed calibration and validation process was followed to ensure methodological robustness.
Findings: The findings indicate that certain risk components are discussed more frequently in the literature than others. Management controls are highlighted as essential tools for intervening in and mitigating risks, and stakeholders are shown to play a critical role in all stages of risk management. Analysis revealed which combinations of controls are sufficient or necessary across the different phases of the risk management process.
Research limitations: This study is based on a theoretical framework suggesting that future research should include empirical investigations to explore the role of stakeholders in non-financial risk management. Moreover, the context-specific nature of fsQCA and the reliance on theoretical calibration introduce some limitations regarding generalisability.
Practical implications: This study identifies the relationships between management controls and risk management phases, emphasising the critical role of stakeholders in non-financial risk management. The proposed framework can help companies identify the necessary actions to manage all stages of risk management and determine the most strategically important stakeholders, who require greater involvement in this process. Organisations can use the configurational insights provided by this study to design more resilient and inclusive risk governance systems.
Originality of the paper: This paper is original in its approach, as it synthesizes literature on non-financial risk governance and stakeholder engagement, and subsequently applies fsQCA to determine the necessary and sufficient elements that shape systemic risk management. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the first studies to apply fsQCA to a literature-based dataset in the context of non-financial systemic risk, thereby offering a novel methodological contribution
3D Virtual Activation Volume for Automated Grasping in Teleoperated Robotic Manipulation Poster
No full textThis research study proposes a new method to improve robotic teleoperation during grasping tasks. In particular, the target is to reduce the operator's mental burden in grasping tasks, ensuring that the robotic grasping task is simplified for the operator. This simplification aims to improve the task grasping execution time and, in the meantime, increase its grasping success rate. The method is based on an adaptive 3D Virtual Activation Volume (VaV), which acts as a dynamic constraint to support the operator in the grasping task. This volume is centered around the object to grasp, and leverages advanced 3D modeling and active control techniques by using machine learning algorithms. In conclusion, the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method enhances the precision of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), resulting in a more intuitive teleoperation experience, with a 24% decrease in grasping execution time and a 26.4% increase in grasping success rate
Sexual health after myocardial infarction: from an overlooked stigma to a professional advocacy action
No full textWhen are LLMs for Clinical Documentation Considered Medical Devices Under the European Medical Device Regulation (MDR)?
No full textThis article examines how AI systems that assist but do not provide a final diagnosis are classified under the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR). With the rise of AI in healthcare, especially in managing EHRs and clinical documentation, the paper reconsiders regulatory interpretations in light of new developments. These include the shift from general-purpose LLMs to specialised medical models, like MedGemma, and the 2025 MDCG guidance, which updates classification rules for software. Addressing a gap in current literature, the paper analyses the regulatory status of AI tools participating in the diagnostic process that do not provide the final diagnosis
Nomina nuda tenemus: la confusione del legislatore fra oggetto materiale ed oggetto giuridico nel diritto penale dei beni culturali
No full textL’introduzione del Titolo VIII-bis del Codice penale, asseritamente dedicato al bene giuridico rappresentato dal patrimonio culturale, sembrerebbe piuttosto sintomatica di un modo diverso di concepire ed usare il diritto penale da parte del legislatore, tipico di uno Zeitgeist che appare diffuso in àmbito internazionale e che vede nel diritto penale uno strumento ancipite: da un lato, tecnologia di lotta alla criminalità organizzata; dall’altro, ingranaggio di un più vasto sistema di regolamentazione. Tra le righe del tessuto normativo traspare la volontà non di tutelare il valore culturale rappresentato dal bene giuridico, quanto una politica di regolamentazione dell’uso degli oggetti materiali che lo incarnano, così realizzando una preoccupante inversione di priorità dal punto di vista della logica penalistica: l’oggetto materiale del reato assume primazia rispetto all’oggetto giuridico, che è (era?) invece il pilastro dell’architettura codicistica e della teorica erede del diritto penale liberale. Il contributo intende evidenziare tali aspetti, concentrandosi in particolare sulla questione definitoria della nozione cardine del Titolo VIII-bis, cioè quella di bene culturale, oltre che sui problemi di coordinamento fra procedimenti penali ed amministrativi.The new Title VIII-bis of the Italian Criminal Code is allegedly dedicated to offences against Cultural Heritage but appears to be an example of a different model of Criminal Law rather than being geared towards the protection of a Rechtsgut. Indeed, the new offences seem to fall under the kind of Criminal Law favoured by the current Zeitgeist in International Law. On the one hand, Criminal Law is conceived as a technology for combatting organised crime; on the other hand, it is seen as only one tool in a vaster regulation toolbox. Reading between the lines of the new provisions we get the impression that the legislator did not mean to protect the cultural value underlying Cultural Heritage as a Rechtsgut but rather meant to regulate the material objects that embody it. This represents a worrying inversion of priorities from the point of view of Criminal Law, as the material object of the crime overtakes the Rechtsgut, which is (was?) the pillar of the Italian Criminal Code and of the Liberal Criminal Law theoretical framework. The paper aims to highlight these aspects, focussing in particular on the definition of the cardinal legal notion of these offences, i.e. that of “bene culturale” (literally “cultural good”). Issues arising from the lack of coordination between administrative and criminal proceedings will also be discussed
SuperVisio
No full textSuperVisio is a web app that digitizes and standardizes the completion of foreman/supervisor inspection and monitoring reports, following a structured checklist (workplaces, equipment, PPE, safety devices, and training).
