The new Italian press publishers' right: creative, fairness-oriented... and invalid?
No full textArticle 15 CDSMD introduces a new related right in favour of press publishers, covering the online reproduction and making available of press publications by information society service providers.
The final wording of the provision pervasively harmonizes some aspects of the new right, but leaves sensitive matters in the discretion of national legislatures, such as the notion of short extracts, the devise of specific licensing and/or distributing schemes and the related possibility to interfere with parties’ freedom to contract.
Halfway down the road of the transposition process, divergences on key points are already emerging: some Member States have adopted solutions that present controversial features, which characterize them as cases in point of the side effects that an act of imperfect harmonization such as Article 15 CDSMD may engender.
As a paradigmatic example of this trend, this article focuses on the Italian transposition of the press publisher’s right, offering a critical assessment of its most salient features and testing its validity under EU law on the basis of the indications provided so far by the European Commission and the CJEU. The result of this exercise will also be useful to draw the margin of discretion left to other Member States in the implementation of Article 15 CDSMD
When harmonisation leads to fragmentation (and potential invalidity claims): snapshots from the implementation of the new press publishers' right
No full textHalfway down the road of its transpositions, criticisms
related to the structure and scope of the new press
publishers’ right are now coupled with challenges
triggered by the fragmentation of Member States’
solutions. This article offers a critical assessment of the
national implementations of art.15 CDSM, raising doubts
on the effectiveness of the provision in achieving the
Directive’s goals. Then, it uses the Italian solution to
demonstrate the negative effects of the imperfect
harmonisation art.15 CDSM operated, and tests its
validity under EU law to draw the boundaries of Member
States’ discretion in shaping the new entitlement
I templi rupestri della XVIII dinastia: analisi strutturale e degli aspetti cultuali
No full textLa ricerca si propone di fornire una nuova chiave di lettura delle strutture templari rupestri egiziane e nubiane della XVIII dinastia. Il lavoro si compone di una prima sezione, in cui ciascun monumento viene analizzato indipendentemente dagli altri, e di una seconda sezione, in cui l'insieme di tali strutture viene riesaminato alla luce di quanto emerso durante la ricerca
Study of UV written channels in lead silicate glasses
No full textLight-induced refractive index change was investigated in two lead-silicate (SF57 and F2) glasses by irradiation using a pulsed 248 nm KrF excimer laser and a CW frequency doubled argon ion laser at 244 nm. UV–Vis spectra were recorded after each exposure to the excimer laser to study the change in absorption. The exposures were cumulative. The results showed that, with increasing number of pulses, there was an increase in the attenuation of the samples. Large photosensitivity was observed from direct 244 nm UV-written channels without the use of a phase mask. The refractive index change measured at 633 nm for SF57 glass was to 2.9×10-2 and a channel waveguide loss of 4.8 dB/cm and for F2 glass was to 7×10-3 and a loss of 5 dB/cm. The large refractive index changes measured here are achieved at the expense of large induced losses. The channel waveguides were thermally stable up to 300 °C

No full textData concerning the proteolytic resistance and oxidative stress in LAN5 cells after treatment with BSA hydrogels
No full textAbstractProteolytic resistance is a relevant aspect to be tested in the formulation of new nanoscale biomaterials. The action of proteolytic enzymes is a very fast process occurring in the range of few minutes. Here, we report data concerning the proteolytic resistance of a heat-set BSA hydrogel obtained after 20-hour incubation at 60°C prepared at the pH value of 3.9, pH at which the hydrogel presents the highest elastic character with respect to gel formed at pH 5.9 and 7.4 “Heat-and pH-induced BSA conformational changes, hydrogel formation and application as 3D cell scaffold” (G. Navarra, C. Peres, M. Contardi, P. Picone, P.L. San Biagio, M. Di Carlo, D. Giacomazza, V. Militello, 2016) [1]. We show that the BSA hydrogel produced by heating treatment is protected by the action of proteinase K enzyme. Moreover, we show that LAN5 cells cultured in presence of BSA hydrogels formed at pH 3.9, 5.9 and 7.4 did not exhibit any oxidative stress, one of the first and crucial events causing cell death “Are oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction the key players in the neurodegenerative diseases?” (M. Di Carlo, D. Giacomazza, P. Picone, D. Nuzzo, P.L. San Biagio, 2012) [2] “Effect of zinc oxide nanomaterials induced oxidative stress on the p53 pathway” (M.I. Setyawati, C.Y. Tay, D.T.

Bragg gratings in ternary SiO<sub>2</sub> SnO<sub>2</sub> Na<sub>2</sub>O optical glass fibers
No full textBragg gratings have been written in an optical fibre with a core made of ternary SiO2:SnO2:Na2O glass and a SiO2 cladding. The presence of Na2O allows for higher concentrations of SnO2 which is believed to be responsible for the photorefractive response of this composition. In these preliminary experiments significant refractive index modulations, up to 6.2x10-4, have been achieved using a 248nm excimer laser and a phase mask to write gratings for reflectivity at around 1.5µm. The induced refractive index changes show enhanced temperature stability and there is no sign of any erasure up to temperatures exceeding 600°C
Ion exchanged waveguide in a new active and photosensitive glass
No full textActive channel waveguides have been fabricated by ion exchange in a new erbium-doped, germane-silicate photosensitive glass. The passive and active properties of the waveguides have been investigated by standard techniques
Discussion of best practices with stakeholders (consumers associations, associations representing vulnerable users) (MS14)
No full textTask 2.6 of reCreating Europe's work aimed at drafting a set of policy recommendations on the future of copyright flexibilities and a code of best practices. These are presented in D2.9 Policy Recommendations and code of best practices (https://zenodo.org/record/7148721#.ZCaJJ3ZBy3B)
These best practices were tested and discussed at an expert and stakeholders workshop, held at the Institute of Information Law (IViR), University of Amsterdam on 21 September 2022, and entitled “Copyright Flexibilities: mapping, explaining, empowering”.
