Ukraine – EU Cooperation for Post-War Recovery and Eurointegration
No full textThe Ukraine’s Case represents the most serious challenge for Europe in recent decades. This primarily concerns the countries of the European Union. Experiencing significant problems with their global competitiveness, they are nevertheless forced to incur significant expenses to support Ukraine against Russian aggression and certain losses as a result of anti-Russian economic sanctions. However, this is not only a gesture of goodwill, but also a forced measure, since it is precisely close cooperation between Ukraine and the EU and the inevitable entry of Ukraine into the Union that can contribute to solving the problem of European competitiveness and consolidating leading positions in the Global Economy. Based on this, the European Union should provide Ukraine with substantial financial assistance for its Post-War Economic Recovery. The program for such recovery should take into account the needs both – Ukraine and the EU itself, - new economic structures of which should be interconnected and compatible. This objective should be taken into account when developing pre-accession financial aid schemes, which are usually provided to candidate countries. In the case of Ukraine, such schemes should be tailor-made taking into account mentioned above.

Interrelation of human laws and laws of nature? Codification of sustainable legal systems
No full textThe aim of this Innovation Letter is to raise the problem of the interrelation between human laws and the laws of nature and to propose the codification of sustainable legal systems to measure and potentially foster human progress in universal mathematical terms. It does this initially by providing a brief theoretical and mathematical introduction about key legal and physics-based frameworks, as a way to begin their unification. Followed by outlining simple applications for the codification of sustainable legal systems, with a view to calculate the unexpressed value of legal systems and to potentially optimise it with a public-private Intitial Public Offering (hereinafter IPO)-type of process powered by modern technologies
Artificial intelligence, new research dynamics and patents
No full textThe rise of AI and its increasing use in achieving inventions has raised concerns about the effectiveness of the requirements for patent protection, which were designed prior to this technological revolution. Proposals in this regard, from the abolition of patents to the adoption of an inventive machine standard, however, circumvent the key issue in assessing patentability, which is whether or not the skilled person would have achieved the invention in an obvious way by using the available toolkit, which may include AI algorithms if they are publicly available. The fear of excessive patent monopoly resulting from the use of AI is also a false problem, since greater ease in attaining inventions will lead to more problems being solved in alternative ways, new ones being posed, and strong competition among innovators. What critics of patents forget is the effect of disclosure achieved through patenting: patent databases (normally freely accessible online) are nowadays the world's largest and most up-to-date source of technical information. The importance of this disclosure is increased precisely by the advent of AI, which needs wide availability of data to operate effectively. Thus, more than ever, patents contribute decisively to scientific and technological progress and also to its democratisation. The analysis will show that the growing use of AI in research does not require changes to existing patent law or challenge the fundamental rationale for patent protection. On the contrary, AI enhances innovation potential, reinforcing the importance of the patent system—especially its role in promoting competition and knowledge disclosure

"Gioventù che muore": il romanzo poetico-sentimentale di Comisso e Parise
No full textIl saggio propone una lettura combinata di due particolari e spesso fraintesi romanzi dell’immediato dopoguerra – Gioventù che muore (1949) di Giovanni Comisso e Il ragazzo morto e le comete (1951) di Goffredo Parise – alla luce del nodo centrale che li caratterizza, separandoli dalla temperie neo-realista: quello della letteraturizzazione dell’esperienza della morte, restituita per mezzo della figura del giovane e adoperata come reagente di una più ampia crisi intellettuale e artistica, che dà forma a un’originale proposta narrativa di natura poetico-sentimentale. Di quest’ultima – inscindibile dal trauma bellico e destinata a influenzare l’arco creativo degli autori a lunga gittata – l’analisi ricostruisce l’aspetto stilistico (a metà tra frammento e visione), le implicazioni anti-ideologiche e i legami propriamente lirici, rivelando le possibilità di un’altra via romanzesca capace di superare i limiti delle vicende umane e di farsi scrittura del tempo, «raccoglimento» di sveviana memoria in grado di riscattare la «vita orrida vera»
Development without context: international development cooperation,empowerment, and climate change in rural Kenya
No full textThis article explores the complex interactions between International Development Cooperation (Idc), women’s empowerment, and climate change, using a case study of a women’s empowerment project in rural Kenya. Drawing on the women’s lived experiences, it reinforces existing literature on three key points: the need for context-sensitive interventions, the limitations of economic empowerment without broader social change, and the exacerbating role of climate change in reversing development gains. In doing so, the research underscores the importance of better integrating social science perspectives in Idc
Barriere all’accesso ai servizi sanitari per malattie non trasmissibili: quali gap per le persone con disabilita’ in Mozambico?
No full textIn Mozambico le malattie non trasmissibili (MNT) costituiscono la terza causa di morte nel Paese e rappresentano una difficile sfida di salute pubblica. Date le molteplici barriere che rendono difficile l'accesso ai servizi per le MNT, le persone con disabilità (PcD) spesso incontrano ostacoli maggiori nell'accesso ai servizi. Considerando il nesso tra MNT e disabilità, garantire l’utilizzo dei servizi sanitari da parte delle PcD costituisce un elemento fondamentale per migliorare l'equità del sistema sanitario raggiungendo una copertura sanitaria universale. Il presente studio mira ad analizzare l'accessibilità dei servizi sanitari per le MNT in Mozambico, con un focus specifico sulle PcD
