Benessere animale cartesiano
No full textGenetic modification of non-human animals for use in human activities, including farming and research, may result in animals with reduced (or absent) capacity to experience stress and suf-fering compared to conspecifics currently used for the same purposes. It seems that creating “Cartesian animals” is a possibility that should be considered as a potentially desirable out-come, since reducing or eliminating suffering seems to be a goal shared by almost every ethical perspective, not just utilitarianism.Although initially appealing, such a perspective needs to be critically examined to ensure that its many implications are fully understood. One possible ap-proach is to determine whether it is consistent with existing frameworks for defining and as-sessing animal welfare. It is clear that using these techniques can be beneficial where there is a greater risk to animal welfare. However, to the extent that the concept of animal welfare re-quires animals to be considered as agents and these techniques would either limit or remove their capacity for agency, a number of critical issues can arise. Over-reliance on the potential of genetic editing may preclude achieving moral progress that would lead to a deeper rethinking of the relationship between humans and non-human animals. These techniques are undoubtedly promising. In certain contexts of human-animal interaction, they are worth recommending. However, they need to be carefully evaluated when implemented within the broader frame-work of human-animal relationships
Introduction to iNEST Spoke 4 - Integrated Land-sea Maritime and Spatial Planning
No full textThe involvement of the University of Trieste in iNEST Spoke 4 offered a valuable opportunity to address environmental, energy, social, and economic challenges in the north-eastern Italian territories. Through an interdisciplinary planning and design approach, research explored three main fields: smart networks for biodiversity and water; innovative technologies and solutions to transform the construction sector and retrofit existing buildings; and new urban policies and design strategies to tackle growing conditions of poverty and social vulnerability.Il coinvolgimento dell'Università di Trieste in iNEST Spoke 4 ha offerto una preziosa opportunità per affrontare le sfide ambientali, energetiche, sociali ed economiche nei territori del nord-est italiano. Attraverso un approccio interdisciplinare di pianificazione e progettazione, la ricerca ha esplorato tre ambiti principali: reti intelligenti per la biodiversità e l'acqua; tecnologie e soluzioni innovative per trasformare il settore delle costruzioni e riqualificare gli edifici esistenti; e nuove politiche urbane e strategie di progettazione per affrontare le crescenti condizioni di povertà e vulnerabilità sociale
The principle do no significant harm between EU law and the PNRR. Genesis, application methods and legal nature of a new environmental parameter
No full textThe article analyses the genesis and development of the principle do no significant harm within the European Union legal order, from the Green Deal to taxonomy regulations, to the Recovery and Resilience Facility, before focusing on its application to the Italian PNRR (National Recovery and Resilience Plan), as well as its legal classification, its relationship with other European environmental principles and with the Italian constitutional reform of February 2022.L’articolo analizza la genesi e lo sviluppo del principio non arrecare danno significativo all’interno dell’ordinamento dell’Unione europea, dal Green Deal alla disciplina tassonomica, sino al Dispositivo di ripresa e resilienza, per poi soffermarsi sulla sua applicazione al PNRR italiano, nonché sulla sua qualificazione giuridica, sui rapporti con gli altri principi ambientali europei e con la riforma costituzionale italiana del febbraio 2022
Inside the algorithm. Transparency and impact of generative AI
No full textGenerative artificial intelligence is transforming the way we create content and make decisions. This event offered a multidisciplinary dialogue on three key themes: adapting AI to maximize its economic impact, understanding how it works internally, and exploring the ethical and social implications of its adoption. The goal was to promote a responsible and transparent use of these technologies, with a critical and informed perspective
‘Colpa’, ‘Sanzione’ e ‘Autonomia’ nella vicenda di un omicidio negato
No full textIl contributo presenta un esame critico degli elementi di filo¬sofia del diritto che emergono dalla lettura dell’opera mag¬giormente nota di Henrik Stangerup. La disamina prende in considerazione la prospettiva distopica offerta dall’opera e cerca di verificare la rilevanza contemporanea di alcuni paradigmi giuridici: ‘colpa’, ‘sanzione’ e ‘autonomia’. Sulla base di questi elementi fondativi, il contributo cerca di offri¬re una visione critica sul ruolo dell’autorità all’interno dei sistemi giuridici contemporanei, nel momento in cui coarta la libertà del soggetto con modalità che negando la dignità dello stesso nel vincolare le sue relazioni con gli altri soggetti, ne etero-determina l’identità.The contribution presents a critical examination of the el¬ements of the philosophy of law that emerge from reading a famous work by Henrik Stangerup. The analysis takes into consideration the dystopian perspective offered by the work and seeks to verify the contemporary relevance of certain legal paradigms: ‘guilt’, ‘sanction’ and ‘autono¬my’. In this way, the contribution seeks to offer a critical view of the authority inside the contemporary legal sys¬tems as it constrains the freedom of the individual in ways that deny the dignity of the person and his relations with other subjects

I diritti delle persone LGBTQIA+ tra teoria del diritto e giurisprudenza delle corti europee
No full textIl presente contributo ha come obiettivo quello di analizzare la legislazione e la giurisprudenza europee a tutela dei di¬ritti della minoranza LGBTQIA+, adottando il punto di vista della filosofia del diritto. Partendo da concetti cari alla teoria del diritto, si cercherà di analizzare il punto di vista della normativa extra-nazionale per comprenderne i limiti e le potenzialità nella protezione delle minoranze non-etero¬sessuali e/o non binarie.The aim of this paper is to analyse European legislation and case law on the protection of LGBTQIA+ minority rights, adopting a philosophy of law. Starting from con¬cepts dear to the theory of law, we will try to analyze the point of view of extra-national legislation to understand its limits and potential in the protection of non-hetero¬sexual and/ or non-binary minorities
Mapping interpreting in a religious context
No full textThis paper explores the theoretical and conceptual framework of interpreting in a religious context as an already established field of research within Interpreting Studies and seeks to establish common ground for terms and concepts used by researchers of this field in an effort to achieve agreement on terminology. Although the terms and concepts currently in use are based on valid assumptions and approaches, their diversity has thus far hindered the comparison and systematisation of empirical data published in this specific academic field. After proposing interpreting in a religious context as an umbrella term covering the various ramifications of this specific type of interpreting and research, this paper maps the conceptual relationships between context and setting, between interpreting as a general practice and its realisation in a religious context and proposes a definition for interpreting in a religious context. In the second part of the paper, a tentative set of specific features of interpreting in religious contexts is presented taking examples from the Roman Catholic Church as a first step towards further theoretical and empirical research in a broader array of denominations and religions
