Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence from the Istanbul Convention to the EU Framework: The Proposal for an EU Directive
No full textThe main focus of this paper is on the path that is leading the EU legislator to combat violence against women and domestic violence using different approaches.
Starting with the recent development that led the EU to ratify the Istanbul Convention with the decisions approved on 1st June 2023, the author examines the recent proposal for a directive on the topic, evaluating in particular its legal basis as proposed by the European Commission (Article 82.2 and Article 83.1 TFEU), taking into account Opinion 1/19 of the EU Court of Justice, and all the decisions that authorised signature and ratification of the Istanbul Convention and the possible alternatives. In this context, reference will be made to the provisions of the directive dealing with the
qualification of certain forms of violence against women (in particular the ones connected to cybercrime) and to the risk of challenges by States that have not ratified or are raising problems about the implementation of the Istanbul Convention, seeking to assess the prospects for the future adoption of the proposed directive
La Corte di giustizia e le incompatibilità all’esercizio della professione di avvocato: l’abito non fa il monaco... e la toga non fa l’avvocato
No full textCon la sentenza Monachos Eirinaios del 7 maggio 2019 la Corte di giustizia coglie l’occasione per pronunciarsi sul difficile rapporto fra i requisiti per l’accesso alla professione di avvocato in esercizio del diritto di stabilimento in uno Stato diverso da quello in cui è stata acquisita la qualifica ai sensi della direttiva 98/5 e i requisiti per l’esercizio della professione, ancora di competenza degli Stati ospitanti
La Dichiarazione nella giurisprudenza della Corte di giustizia dell’UE
No full textPartendo dall’evoluzione nell’Unione europea del quadro giuridico dedicato alla protezione dei diritti umani, questo saggio si concentra sull’influenza della Dichiarazione universale sui diritti dell’uomo sugli organi giudiziari dell’Unione europea. La ricerca si basa sulle conclusioni degli avvocati generali e sulla recente giurisprudenza della Corte di giustizia, principalmente nel campo della lotta al terrorismo, della politica sociale e del diritto antidiscriminatorio, e mira a verificare le nuove tendenze interpretative e l’influenza che questo cambiamento potrebbe portare nell’approccio della comunità internazionale verso la Dichiarazione universale

Biogerontology in Italy
No full textIn this paper experimental gerontology in Italy is reviewed on the basis of research
developed in Academic and non Academic Centres. There are several groups across Italy working
actively on basic science of aging producing high impact papers with a significant contribution to
biogerontology. Some distinguished Italian scientist working abroad is also mentioned. Interesting
issues on longevity and interventions on aging (including caloric restriction) and on aging brain are
quoted. Relevant studies encompass the (glyco-)oxidative stress as direct damage mechanism and
main process of theory of aging, other research lines include IGF-1, mitochondria DNA, obesitysarcopenia
and exercise and also an animal model for aging studies is reported.
Notwithstanding financial restrictions and structure deficit the biogerontology research in Italy could
be judged as good, but additional resources are necessary to keep this good rank
Dolichol: A Natural Biomarker of Aging Endowed With a Photoenhanced Highly-Effective Solar Filter Activity
No full textDolichol is a polysoprenoid lipid ubiquitous in eukaryotic cell membranes. Its molecular structure comprises a sequence of E and Z unsatured isoprene units tethered by a satured isoprene unit bearing a hydroxyl group. Dolichol is mostly present in the native form or esterified by lipid acids, and it is thought to locate in the innermost part of the membrane double layer, intertwining with the hydrophobic terminus of the phospholipids. In spite of this peculiar arrangement, no clear biological function of dolichol has been evidenced yet, although a minor dolichyl phosphate pool is known to assist the N-glycosylation of proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum. Dolichol was recently found to strongly interact with free-radicals, leading to a fast molecular disruption without peroxidized by-products. This scavenging property may explain why dolichol accumulates with age, representing an excellent biomarker of the ageing process also sensitive to ageing-preventing dietary regimes in living animals. Furthermore, dolichol was shown to possess photoprotective characteristics towards UV radiation. On account of its high biocompatibility, its free-radical scavenging and photoprotective properties, and its easy preparation from vegetable extracts, dolichol has been proposed as main components for dermatological and cosmetic compositions.
