La persona internazionale dello Stato e la questione della ricostruzione dell'attività e volontà dello Stato
Autodeterminazione dei popoli
Voce approfondita che ricostruisce l'origine e l'evoluzione del principio di autodeterminazione dei popoli come norma giuridica internazionale, analizzandone il nucleo normativo nonché l'interrelazione e il conteperamento con altri principi fondamentali del diritto internazionale contemporaneo, alla luce degli strumenti convenzionali e degli atti di soft law che affermano e disciplinano il principio, della prassi degli Stati e delle organizzazioni internazionali universali e regionali, nonché della giurisprudenza di rilevanza internazionale
La tutela delle persone con disabilità nel sistema della Carta sociale europea
Il contributo ricostruisce e analizza la disciplina in materia di tutela di persone con disabilità prevista nella Carta sociale europea (in particolare l'art. 15 della Carta), alla luce della giurisprudenza del Comitato europeo dei diritti sociali e della prassi applicativa degli Stati
Synthesis, characterization and XRPD studies of metal-organic frameworks containing 1,4 bis(4-pyrazolyl) and 1,4 bis(5-tetrazolyl)benzene ligands
In the last decade we have been deeply exploring the coordination chemistry of polydentate ligands possessing multiple donor sites. Nowadays we decided to increased the complexity of the polytopic N-ligands aiming at the formation of oligomeric and polymeric species with different functional properties.
Inspires to the 1,4-benzene-dicarboxylate (BDC) the ligand of the highly porous and capable of H2 sorption MOF-5 proposed by Yaghi et al., and planning to employ polytopic longer spacers possessing nitrogen coordination sites (with the possibility of an exobidentate coordination), we turned our attention to the 1,4-bis(5-tetrazolyl)benzene species (C8H6N8, H2btb).
After having tailored high-yield, cheap and atoxic syntheses for H2btb [1], we started coupling this ligand with a transition metal ions aiming at the formation of microcrystalline materials of well defined stoichiometry, structure and functional properties: nanoporosity, cooperative magnetism and catalytic activity.
The isolated materials shows a variety of stoichiometries, each one with its own peculiar structure: homoleptic species [Ag2(btb), Cu(btb) and Co(btb)], hydrated (or solvated) compounds [Co(btb)•2H2O and Zn(btb)•nDMF], and even hydroxo complexes [Cu2(μ3-OH)2(btb)]. These compounds are either dense or moderately porous and, therefore, they are not prone to gas sorption or storage, as originally targeted [2].
In this context, we decided to develop a new strategy to synthesized the analogous 1,4-bis(4-pyrazolyl)benzene (C12H10N4, H2bpb) [1] with the hope to obtain microporous and non-dense species with the coordination of the metal transition elements. Specifically, in our research, we have coupled these ligands with Ni, Cu, Zn, Hg to afford the species Ni(bpb), Zn(bpb), Cu2(bpb) and Hg(bpb). These species are isolated by solvothermal reaction and fully characterized by elemental and thermogravimetric analysis, IR spectroscopy and we attained their full structural characterization resorting to state-of-the-art powder diffraction methods, occasionally coupled to thermodiffractometry analysis.
Adsorption capacities are also studied with preliminary gas sorption analysis, towards N2, and showing attractive adsorption capacities of the compound Ni(bpb) and Zn(bpb) in agreement with their structural characterization that shows a very low density and regulars networks.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
Convenient and expeditious synthesis of some indoloquinolizine alkaloids
The ambident reactivity of the imine-enamines (1) and (2) towards 1,3-dihalogenopropanes leads to an expeditious and efficient synthesis of some indoloquinolizines
Variations on the Author
“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
