Politicisation of the EU and the Parliamentary Arena: Italy in Times of Economic Crisis
No full textThe article examines the relationship between the euro crisis and the politicisation of the EU within the Italian parliamentary arena. Considering the traditional lack of attention devoted by national MPs to EU affairs, especially in a country well known for its Europeanism, the study tests whether the euro crisis acted as a catalyst factor for an enhanced commitment of MPs vis-à-vis the EU when budgetary policy was at stake. Key analytical dimensions of politicisation were observed over time through the investigation of MPs’ behaviour and discourse during the approval of fundamental decisions within the context of multilevel economic policy coordination. The main assumption is that EU policy pressures matter in politicising the EU domestically, but only if they are incorporated within the priorities of national parties

Exposure-Tolerant Imaging Solution forCultural Heritage Monitoring
No full textThis paper describes a simple and cheap solution specifically designed for monitoring the degradation of thin coatings employed for metal protection. The proposed solution employs a commercial photocamera and a frequency-domain-based approach that is capable of highlighting the surface uniformity changes due to initial corrosion. Even though the proposed solution is specifically designed to monitor the long-time performance of protective coatings employed for the restoration of silver artifacts, it can be successfully used also for assessing the conservation state of other ancient metallic works of art. The proposed solution is made tolerant to exposure changes by using a procedure for sensor nonlinearity identification and correction, does not require a precise lighting control, and employs only free open-source software, so that its overall cost is very low and can be used also by not specifically trained operator

The C-Section Epidemic: What's Tort Reform Got to Do With It?
No full textToday one in three babies in the United States comes into the world by cesarean section. The cesarean section has become the most commonly performed operating room procedure in the United States. Conventional wisdom holds that malpractice liability bears primary responsibility for the cesarean section epidemic and that tort reform, which caps physician liability, holds the key to its reduction. This article presents new aggregate empirical data that debunks this view. For the first time, it provides a national cesarean rate for births subject to damage caps and a national cesarean rate for births without damage caps. This data shows that a woman is not less likely to give birth by cesarean section in a state with damage caps than in one without. Thus, either damage caps are insufficient to address physicians’ concerns or other explanations better account for the overuse of the procedure. The empirical analysis will assist policy makers and advocates seeking to reduce the cesarean rate as well as contribute to consideration of the efficacy of medical malpractice reform as a means to reduce the broader problem of medical overtreatment.
The article then outlines three policy initiatives to reduce the cesarean section rate. First, it suggests upending the current payment practice for deliveries. Contrary to the present norm, it proposes that obstetricians receive more rather than less to deliver vaginally to compensate them for the extra time that vaginal delivery takes compared to cesarean delivery. Second, rather than looking to tort reform to reduce cesarean section rates, the article explores whether malpractice insurance providers themselves are contributing to the cesarean section epidemic and advocates two novel medical malpractice insurance reforms to address this problem. Third, it advocates public disclosure of hospital and physician cesarean section rates so that women can make informed decisions when selecting their health care providers and when determining whether to have a cesarean section

Carnivores from Arena Cave: Pleistocene predators’ tales from Sicily
No full textThe Pleistocene site of Arena Cave (Baida, Palermo) represents one of the least studied
mammal assemblages from Sicily. It is a fissure-filling deposit, currently threatened by the
instability of an abandoned quarry front. Preliminary descriptions of its faunal content,
provided by Fabiani (1928) and confirmed by Vaufrey (1929), report the presence of four
iconic European Pleistocene carnivorous taxa: Canis lupus, Crocuta crocuta spelaea,
Panthera spelaea spelaea, and Ursus arctos. Although no stratigraphic data are available,
the biostratigraphic framework suggests a wide chronological range: from the Early-Middle
Pleistocene (Palaeoloxodon falconeri F.C.) and Late-Middle Pleistocene (Palaeoloxodon
mnaidriensis F.C.) to the Late Pleistocene (San Teodoro-Pianetti F.C.), Late Glacial
(Castello F.C.), and even the Holocene. It is therefore plausible that the assemblage
represents a mixed accumulation of faunal remains from different phases, which makes the
site particularly valuable for understanding the evolutionary pathways of Sicilian mammal
communities across the Pleistocene-Holocene transition. This study aims to fill a gap in our
knowledge of the palaeobiology of Pleistocene Sicilian carnivores, which has never been
systematically investigated at Arena Cave. Specifically, we estimated the body mass of each
predator (C. lupus, C. crocuta spelaea, Panthera s. spelaea) and assessed potential
ecological interactions within the carnivore guild. Our methodological framework combines
morphometric analyses with theoretical ecological models - Prey Focus Mass (PFM) and
Prey Mass Spectrum (PMS) - and incorporates the calculation of competition indices (CIs)
to assess niche overlap and infer predator guild structure (Hemmer, 2004; Hertler & Volmer,
2008). Our results offer new insights into the palaeobiology and trophic ecology of Sicilian
Pleistocene carnivores, contributing to a broader understanding of predator guild dynamics

The purpose of this study is to analyze data about the aspects of feminism psychology that discusses the character of female characters, the pressure of feelings of female characters, and the taste of female characters. The theory used by the author to analyze this research is the theory of Sikana (2005), Lubis (2016). The agreement used is a qualitative agreement. The type of research used is library research. The method used is descriptive method. The technique used is the hermeneutic technique. Data analysis using content analysis techniques. The results of the research submitted about the facts of feminism, especially about the policy aspects that often appear in the novel Asya Story by Sabrina Febrianti is a challenge of the character (character) women and recovery figures, women women Figure in the same story with humans in everyday life who always have different thoughts.
