Obiezione di coscienza e vulnerabilità. Il lato oscuro dei movimenti di resistenza alle vaccinazioni obbligatorie.
No full textAfter a worrying decrease of the rate of vaccination, Italian Parliament has enacted the law
119/2017 which raises the number of mandatory vaccination and prohibits unvaccinated
children, except those for medical reasons, to attend infant school. In this paper, I focus on
the moral justification of antivaccinist groups by applying the account of conscientious
objection provided by Raz and followed by Gascón Abellan and Saporiti. According to
this conception, conscientious objection is a moral right insofar as it is an instance of a
right to privacy, which entails the right to do wrong. I show how this conception cannot
justify these movements insofar as 1) it assumes a moral topography in which the separation between private and public sphere is already defined, 2) conscientious objectors
to vaccines put in danger the health of vulnerable persons by refusing to cooperate in
reaching herd immunity
Recensione a R. Cueva Fernandez "El precio de la libertad de expresión. Daños, contingencias y ciudadanos", Fontamara, México DF 2016, pp. 170.
No full textIl libro qui recensito affronta un tema classico della filosofia del diritto, il tema della libertà di espressione, affrontandolo però dal suo lato più indigesto: il c.d. “discorso
dell’odio” (hate speech)
Pena, riparazione compensativa e giustizia riparativa. Spunti di riflessione a partire da due casi studio
No full textIl contributo si sofferma su due tipologie di riparazione: la giustizia riparativa, la quale svolge funzioni dialogico-conciliative e ha un campo di applicazione interno al diritto nazionale; la riparazione fra Stati, che opera con funzioni risarcitorio-compensative e ha un campo di applicazione internazionale. Attraverso l’esame di due casi studio (la mediazione penale con «vittima surrogata o aspecifica» applicata in un grave delitto di omicidio; la riparazione per crimini internazionali conseguente a crimini nazisti contro cittadini italiani), emergono «scelte tragiche» di giudizio in entrambi i sottotipi di riparazione penale.Punishment, compensatory reparation and restorative justice. Insights from two case studies
The paper focuses on two types of reparation: restorative justice, which operates with dialogic-conciliatory functions and has a domestic scope under national law; and reparation between states, which operates with compensatory functions and has an international scope. Through the examination of two case studies (criminal mediation with “surrogate or nonspecific victim” applied in a serious murder crime; reparation for international crimes resulting from Nazi crimes against Italian citizens), “tragic choices” of judgment emerge in both subtypes of criminal reparation
El sueño roto de la ciudadanía europea y el lado oscuro de la gobernanza.
Full text linkAbstract: This paper tries to analyze three models of European
citizenship, by paying particular attention to the
legitimacy crisis of the European Union’s (EU) governance
we are facing today. First of all, I will show the features of the
crisis of the model of EU’s governance, by clarifying how this
crisis sheds light on 1) the veto powers of some of the member
states, 2) the lack of accountability of the Union’s decisions
towards the public opinions, 3) the constant reduction
of the mutual trust among both the political institutions
and the public opinions. Secondly, I will show how the three
models (the national-liberal model, the model of market
citizenship, and the federalist model) offer different conceptions
of the ideal of European citizenship, an ideal that
is necessary when we discuss the normative solutions to the
ongoing legitimacy crisis. I will end the paper by proposing
a change in policy education: to supplement the programs
of secondary schools with basic notions of public finance.
Thus, it is possible to give to the future European citizens
some of the necessary tools to evaluate the decisions whose
costs they must bear
La obligación vacunal según la jurisprudencia más reciente del Tribunal Constitucional Italiano
No full textThe paper offers a legal analysis of three Italian constitutional court's sentences (14, 15,16, 2023) about the validity of the norms imposing vaccination in order to fulfill various fundamental rights (such as freedom of circulation and the right to work). The court sustains in full the legislation, however there is the risk that some judges disapply it, frustrating the goal of reducing the impact of covid 19

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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 linkWe 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
