La Tutela della Proprietà Intellettuale Agroalimentare nel mercato Nazionale, Europeo e Internazionale
Get PDFLa presente tesi si prefigge lo scopo di indagare i rimedi giuridici disponibili per i produttori
agroalimentari al fine di tutelare le proprie denominazioni di qualità, in particolare all’interno del
multiforme mercato internazionale, ove l’assenza di un’azione coordinata da parte dell’Unione Europea
potrebbe compromettere irrimediabilmente la protezione delle indicazioni geografiche continentali.
Iniziando da un’esposizione dei prodromi della tutela delle IG, concernenti la “qualità” e
“l’origine” del prodotto, la Tesi si concentra – attraverso l’analisi di un corpus normativo che spazia
dall’ambito alimentare a quello industrialistico – sulle relazioni tra marchi e indicazioni geografiche,
rilevando una complessa architettura giuridica che media tra esigenze di tutela pubblicistica e logiche
privatistiche. Il lavoro poi si addentra ulteriormente nelle radici culturali ed economiche che sottendono
alla creazione e alla protezione delle indicazioni geografiche, evidenziando come esse non solo
rappresentino un patrimonio culturale, ma siano anche strumenti vitali per il sostegno economico dei
produttori.
Il quadro normativo europeo e internazionale viene dunque analiticamente esaminato al fine di
comprendere le modalità operative attualmente disponibili per la tutela delle denominazioni di qualità,
ponendo in luce le sfide poste dalla globalizzazione e dalle peculiarità dei mercati non UE (con
riferimento, in primis, ai c.d. paesi “IG-unfriendly”). Particolare attenzione è poi rivolta agli accordi
internazionali di libero scambio e alla loro capacità di estendere la protezione delle indicazioni geografiche
oltre i confini dell’UE, nonché alla registrazione delle denominazioni come marchi presso le giurisdizioni
estere.
Un’analisi critica è poi dedicata alla dicotomia tra i sistemi giuridici che riconoscono un’ampia
protezione alle indicazioni geografiche e quelli che privilegiano un approccio privatistico, fondato sulla
primazia del marchio commerciale, sottolineando le tensioni esistenti e le possibili vie di mediazione. In
argomento, la tesi rileva il concreto rischio di creare situazioni di monopolio, oltre alle criticità legate alla
libertà concorrenziale, interrogandosi sulla coesistenza tra diritti precedentemente acquisiti e la
registrazione di nuove indicazioni geografiche.
Infine, il lavoro proietta uno sguardo verso il futuro, considerando le opportunità offerte
dall’innovazione tecnologica, in particolare la blockchain, per la tracciabilità e l’autenticazione dei prodotti
di qualità. Questo segmento offre una riflessione sul potenziale di tali tecnologie per rafforzare la tutela
delle indicazioni geografiche a livello internazionale, promettendo una rivoluzione nel modo in cui i
produttori possono tutelare e valorizzare le proprie denominazioni.
La tesi, dunque, si auspica di offrire un contributo al dibattito sulla protezione delle indicazioni
geografiche, proponendo una riflessione critica sulle politiche attuali e suggerendo direzioni future per
una tutela efficace delle IG euro-unitarie in un mercato internazionale in continua evoluzione
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Archaeological and physicochemical approaches to the territory: on-site analysis and multidisciplinary databases for the reconstruction of historical landscapes
No full textThe 'Colline Metallifere', a wide territory located in the south-west of Tuscany, has been characterized by a great development of mining activity over the centuries; this is due to the presence of a large mineral deposit, mainly constituted by mixed sulfide ores, that were exploited since Eneolithic age for the extraction of copper, silver, lead and iron. The territory has extreme relevance for the study of pre-industrial mining and smelting processed. Here, archeological research has been developed since '80 through archaeological digs and surveys. The project and the results we are going to briefly present are the result of an established collaboration between archaeologists and chemists of the University of Siena. It implies the comprehensive study of ancient mining sites, combining classic historical and archaeological observations with physical-chemical measurements and statistical methods, as well as the development of a multidisciplinary-relational database. © Archaeopress and the individual authors 2016.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
