    IL REATO INFORMATICO

    Full text link
    L’ambito d’indagine di questo lavoro attiene al diritto penale dell’informatica. Si propone infatti un’analisi ragionata delle teorie e prassi sviluppatesi, in tempi recenti, con riferimento alla tutela dei diritti della persona, alla luce delle profonde innovazioni che ha portato con sé l’aumento esponenziale di tecnologia e automazione nel vivere quotidiano di ciascuno di noi. Entro tale perimetro, si inizia approfondendo in linea teorica i principali beni giuridici ascrivibili all’essere umano nel mondo digitale, poi affrontando diacronicamente sia l’evoluzione dell’informatica che quella del diritto penale che la governa (Capitolo Primo). Fissati in questo senso sia gli obiettivi che le linee d’indagine, si passa allora al dettagliato esame dei c.d. “reati informatici in senso stretto”, cioè delle previsioni che il Legislatore ha introdotto nell’ordinamento a fronte del dilagante fenomeno dei crimini in materia tecnologica, dando conto della loro applicazione giurisprudenziale lungo l’ultimo decennio (Capitolo Secondo). Con la medesima cadenza strutturale sono in seguito passati in rassegna anche i c.d. “reati informatici in senso ampio”, categoria che raggruppa numerose fattispecie tradizionali, divenute rilevanti in ambito tecnologico sia per l’espansione naturale dei beni giuridici ivi tutelati, sia a causa della sostanziale inerzia in cui è caduto il Legislatore, non proponendone una rivisitazione alla luce delle novità e delle criticità presentate dal ciberspazio (Capitolo Terzo). In conclusione, si propone al lettore una nuova e diversa visione del tema “reato informatico”, partendo da un concetto – quello di Io digitale – costruito con finalità sistematiche: si può allora valutare in quest’ottica l’adeguatezza degli strumenti di cui dispone, oggi, il diritto penale, nonché l’uso che ne viene fatto. Al termine dell’analisi, si propongono al lettore alcuni profili di possibile adeguamento della normativa codicistica, nel rispetto dei principi fondanti della materia penale (Capitolo Quarto).This work aims at evaluating the criminal-law approach to the digital age. Between the analysis of the theoretical constructs provided by the best Italian doctrine and the jurisprudential application of the law, we try to understand if everyone’s fundamental rights are protected by today’s complex criminal system, in light of the profound innovations that tecnology has brought to the society. First of all, we take on a sweeping journey of the basic legal interests that anyone is entitled to in the digital world (personal identity, honour, privacy and freedom), along with a historic view of the evolution both of computer science and computer crimes. On these basis, we proceed to examine both the “strictly cyber-related” provisions, or laws that have been enacted specifically for computer-related crimes, and the “wider cyber-related” rules, that have seen themselves applied to computer-related crimes, although they never received an update to better comply with the so-called digital age. The research conduct us to depict a clearer view of how today’s computer-related provisions oversee and protect people in the technological world: looking through a different point of view (the so-called “Digital Self”) it emerges that the criminal system should update itself as soon as possibile, by systematically enhancing its set of rules as well as by providing the judge with more specific provisions. This approach is ultimately the only option to adequately protect anyone’s Digital Self, without violating the fundamental principles of criminal law

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods
