A comparative analysis of the role of containment policies, vaccination strategies and virus variants in the COVID-19 pandemic across nine European countries
No full textThe COVID-19 pandemic disrupted public health, economies, and societies worldwide, with lasting effects still visible today. Containment policies were implemented to reduce viral transmission, but their effectiveness varied across geographic regions. Understanding the interplay between policies, epidemiological variables, vaccines, and variants is crucial for optimizing future epidemic responses. This study applies a vector autoregressive mixed-effect model to data from nine European countries over the entire pandemic duration, using weekly data to provide both global and country-specific analyses. Policy stringency was assessed using the Oxford Covid-19 Government Response Tracker. Our findings reveal that the relationship between epidemiological indicators and policy stringency evolved over time. Initially, hospitalizations were the primary driver of containment measures, but as vaccinations increased and new variants emerged, new case numbers became an important factor too. While all vaccine doses contributed to reducing cases and hospitalizations, only the second dose was associated with policy stringency. No significant association was found between virus variants and policy measures. Despite small country-specific differences, these insights highlight the complex interdependencies that shaped pandemic management. This framework can support future public health decision-making by balancing epidemiological trends with tailored policy responses at both national and international levels

No full textCon gli artt.120-quinquiesdecies t.u.b., 48-bis t.u.b. e 11-quaterdecies, d.l. 30 settembre 2005, n. 203 (conv. l. 2 dicembre 2005, n. 248), mod. l. 6 maggio 2015, n. 44, il legislatore italiano ha introdotto, a favore del creditore bancario, una serie di poteri acquisitivi o dispositivi di risorse patrimoniali del debitore, che risulti inadempiente ad un’obbligazione ex mutuo, al fine di soddisfare coattivamente il credito insoluto al di fuori della procedura esecutiva giudiziale. Tali forme di autotutela esecutiva si pongono, almeno a una prima impressione, quali eccezioni al secolare divieto del patto commissorio. Per la scarsa attenzione dogmatica che caratterizza i menzionati interventi legislativi, l’appartenenza di tali forme di realizzazione coattiva del credito all’area delle garanzie o all’area degli strumenti solutori appare dubbia, il che ha enfatizzato la tendenza a sovrapporre i negozi informati dalla causa di garanzia e i negozi sorretti dalla causa solutoria che, viceversa, si differenziano sotto il profilo funzionale e degli effetti prodotti, nonché (sotto diversi profili) in punto di disciplina applicabile. L’elaborato mira a ricondurre a sistema le fattispecie di settore analizzandole sotto il profilo causale. La ritenuta necessità di affrancare l’analisi dalle contrapposizioni teoriche intorno alla natura del cd. patto marciano e del patto commissorio, che sono state soventemente trapiantate nell’analisi funzionale delle fattispecie di settore ritenendo queste ultime patti cd. marciani tipizzati, ha imposto di porre l’analisi funzionale a valle di una rimeditazione del perimetro tra negozi con causa di garanzia e con causa solutoria, rilevandone le principali differenze di disciplina. In principio, stante la ancora discussa ammissibilità del negozio traslativo con causa di garanzia, si è ritenuto necessario vagliarne l’ammissibilità e affrontare l’elaborazione teorica di tale operazione negoziale quale fattispecie traslativa dotata di autonomia strutturale e funzionale, tutt’oggi incompiuta

No full textSyntactic issues in the Grammar of Old Irish
No full textIn this article a few syntactic issues touched byThurneysen’s GrammarofOldIrish
and the way they are described are compared with recent overviews of Old Irish
grammar, both scholarly grammars and grammars for learners. The issues subject
to critical review are the uses of the nominative case (in particular the notion of
subject and constructions with nominativus pendens), relative clauses (the way
and order in which they are presented, headless relative clauses, use of the article
before nouns followed by a relative clauses). The use of the article before nouns
followed by a relative clause turns out to be a thorny problem, as contrasting rules
havebeenputforwardinGOI andinrecentliterature, anditissuggested herethat
neither rule is tenable. Finally, a specific instance of a verbal noun construction is
examined in order to discuss the rule in GOI that excludes two non-co-referential
genitives, a rule which has never been explicitly questioned but could be subject
to revision. The paper is meant as a positive contribution to the development of
descriptions of Old Irish syntax
Charles Garnier e l’altro teatro. Scritti teorici, libretti d’opera, testi drammatici
No full textCharles Garnier, like many architects, also wrote. He was interested in architecture, theater, art, chronicles of the present, as well as monuments of the past, archaeology, and theories. In addition to a remarkable mastery of drawing, Garnier distinguished himself by an extraordinary talent as a writer, evidenced by the wide and multiform series of texts in which his “plume précise et colorée” emerged. And like drawing, writing was a tool for communicating his aesthetic thought and a precise worldview.
Naturally, his reflections were influenced as much by the context of the great Haussmannian transformations and the academic disquisitions that arose at the École des Beaux-Arts as by the discussions that arose on the occasion of the great exhibitions or by the circumstances and encounters, sometimes conflicting, he had during the many years on the building site of the Opéra. Along with that of a polemicist and passionate engagé, the architect also manifested a skill as a theorist and popularizer, trying his hand at works for the general public, as evidenced by his collaboration with Auguste Amman in the ambitious volume L'habitation humaine , published in 1892 and appearing following the construction of the buildings in the 1889 Paris Exposition Universelle . His voice was constantly heard on matters related to artistic creation in general; he composed songs, poems and orations for the inauguration of monuments, texts for commemorations, speeches intended for public sessions of the Académie des Beaux-Arts and reports for various ministerial commissions .
In 1985, François Loyer, in the preface to the reissue of the volume À travers les arts. Causeries et mélanges, a collection of writings and articles published by Garnier in 1869, highlighted the importance of those texts for understanding his architecture. Similarly, in 1990, Georges Banu emphasized, in the introductory essay to the 1871 reprint of Le Théâtre, the importance of writings revealing a modern way of thinking about the theater. Yet despite these reissues, few have paid attention to Garnier as a writer, and his dramatic work still awaits rediscovery. Therefore, in this essay an attempt will be made to analyze some of his texts, with the aim of reflecting on the architect's relationship with writing and theater, proposing a new way of interpreting and understanding his work
