"Guerra alla Droga" o Crimini contro l'Umanità? Una valutazione processuale del caso delle Filippine davanti alla Corte Penale Internazionale. “War on Drugs” or Crimes Against Humanity? A Procedural Appraisal of the situation in the Philippines before the International Criminal Court.
No full textL’Autore, dopo aver ripercorso il caso della cosiddetta “guerra alla droga” nelle Filippine, attualmente pendente innanzi la Procura della Corte Penale Internazionale, si sofferma su tre principali problematiche: una sostanziale, riguardante le fattispecie di reato previste dallo Statuto di Roma; due processuali, attinenti rispettivamente alle questioni di giurisdizione ed alle le condizioni di procedibilità, con un approfondimento della c.d. preliminary examination e del principio di complementarità.
The Author, after examining the situation of the so-called “war on drugs” in the Philippines, currently under the attention of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, dwells on three main issues: one concerning the crimes established in the Rome Statute; the other two regarding the procedural issues of jurisdiction and admissibility, with a thorough analysis of both the preliminary examination and the complementarity principle
Anatomia del reato di tortura. Riflessi attuali e conseguenze processuali.
No full textCo-author Avv. Alessandro Continiello.
Con questo breve scritto si vuole approfondire tale nuova fattispecie di reato, che è stata oggetto di varie polemiche, sia da parte della dottrina che da parte dell’opinione pubblica e politica. La sua introduzione nel nostro ordinamento ha luogo con la legge 14 luglio del 2017 numero 110, che ha recepito, con enorme ritardo, le indicazioni contenute nell'ormai risalente, ma attualissima, Convenzione di New York del 1984 . Nella predetta Convenzione si faceva infatti riferimento ai principi generali proclamati nella Carta delle Nazioni Unite, per quanto concerne il “riconoscimento dei diritti uguali e inalienabili della famiglia umana” quale fondamento della libertà e della giustizia.Nello specifico, in virtù dell’articolo 55 della Carta, gli Stati sono tenuti “a promuovere il rispetto universale ed effettivo dei diritti dell’uomo e delle libertà fondamentali”, alla luce dell’articolo 5 della Dichiarazione Universale dei Diritti dell’Uomo nonché dell’articolo 7 del Patto Internazionale sui Diritti Civili e Politici. Tale fattispecie viene introdotta nel codice penale per colmare un vuoto, in quanto, prima della sua entrata in vigore, l'unico reato previsto in punizione della tortura, nell'ordinamento italiano, era quello di cui all'art. 185 bis del codice penale militare di guerra
«Anche i capi del Pci volevano la dittatura». Nuovo libro di Giampaolo Pansa sulla guerra civile tra militi della Rsi e partigiani : Togliatti non era democratico. Questa volta sotto i riflettori sono le storie inedite di sangue e di violenza scritte a Trieste, nella Venezia Giulia, in Istria
No full textFondo De Robertis. Il cinema di Francesco De Robertis a partire dai soggetti e dalle sceneggiature dei progetti non realizzati
No full textThe present essay aims to open new avenues of inquiry concerning Francesco De Robertis’
production, examining the material donated by his family to the Luigi Chiarini Library in 2019.
Specifically, we analyze the scripts, included in the archive, of a number of unrealized projects.
This unmapped material provides the starting point for a new aspect of research regarding
a key figure of Italian cinema. As well as revealing the common traits and characteristics
between realized and unproduced projects, by looking at these scripts it is possible to make
a series of new reflections on the director’s conception of combat films, especially regarding
the relationship between realism and spectacle
Industry 4.0, quality management and TQM world. A systematic literature review and a proposed agenda for further research - DOI 10.1108/TQM-04-2020-0082
No full textPurpose – The main purpose of this paper is to analyse the current literature situation in terms of relationships between Industry 4.0 and quality management and TQM. The author wanted to understand what topics and issues can be considered the most relevant referring to the so-called Quality 4.0, what the literature is missing opening avenues for further research. Design/methodology/approach – This research employed a systematic literature review. In total, 75 papers from different sources were reviewed using specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. Findings – Four categories of topics emerged, namely: creating value within the company through quality (big) data, analytics and artificial intelligence; developing Quality 4.0 skills and culture for quality people; customer value co-creation; cyber–physical systems and ERP for quality assurance and control. This paper also tried to understand if there is a definition of Quality 4.0 based on determined methods. Research limitations/implications – Systematic literature review could have introduced some limitations in terms of the number and reliability of reviewed papers. Probably some interesting papers had been not intentionally missed. Practical implications – Consultants and managers in developing and implementing their own Quality 4.0 models could use many practical and discussed implications concerning I4.0 technologies and quality management. Originality/value – This is one of the first papers which employed the systematic literature review for researching Industry 4.0, quality management and TQM relationships
Le Procedure In Caso Di Ammissione Di Colpevolezza Nella Corte Penale Internazionale: Una “Terza Via” Tra Common Law E Civil Law The proceedings on an admission of guilt in the International Criminal Court: a «third avenue» between Common Law and Civil Law
No full textL’Autore, dopo essersi soffermato sull’analisi strettamente processuale del caso Al Mahdi, appro- fondisce la problematica questione della natura giuridica delle «procedure in caso di ammissione di colpevolezza» nella CPI. In un’ottica di recente emancipazione dell’International Criminal Procedure emerge una “terza via” non riconducibile né alla common law né alla civil law, caratterizzata da quattro particolarità: 1) la possibilità delle parti di proporre alla Corte un accordo contenente una forbice edittale di pena; 2) la celebrazione del dibattimento dopo l’accordo sulla pena; 3) il potere del giudice di riconoscere circostanze aggravanti o attenuanti non contenute nell’accordo; 4) la rinuncia all’appello condizionata al margine di pena proposto.
The Author, after analyzing the Al Mahdi case with a strictly procedural approach, goes in-depth into the problematic issue of the juridical nature of “proceedings on an admission of guilt” in the ICC. In a recent view of emancipation of International Criminal Procedure, a “third avenue” emerges, as highlighted in the judgment of the ICC, not attributable to either the Common Law or Civil Law, with these four characteristics: 1) the possibility to present the Court with a bargain containing a range of years defined for sentence; 2) the hearing after the agreement; 3) the possibility for the judge to enforce aggravating or mitigating circumstances not contained in the bargain; 4) the renouncement to the right of appeal, depending on the years defined in the bargain
Atypical varicella-zoster virus reactivation: a case report
No full textVaricella-zoster virus (VZV) commonly causes benign skin manifestations in children; it then establishes a latent infection and may reactivate, causing herpes zoster. The most common zoster complication is postherpetic neuralgia, but complications can also occur without a rash. VZV infection may cause neurological manifestations and even vasculopathy may occur, in both primary and reactivated VZV infection. Thrombotic complications are mainly described in children, while a few case reports have described cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), deep-vein thrombosis of the lower limbs and pulmonary embolism in adults. In this article we report the case of a young woman who developed systemic thromboembolic sequelae due to a hypercoagulable state following VZV reactivation. She had deep venous lower-limb thrombosis extended to the inferior vena cava (IVC), massive pulmonary embolism and CVST. Moreover, VZV reactivation caused an acute hepatitis and clinical manifestations suggesting viral encephalitis
Commento antiquario allo Scutum Herculis
No full textLa tesi contiene un commento continuo al poemetto tardo arcaico noto col titolo di Scutum Herculis e falsamente assegnato a Esiodo; vi sono affrontate in prevalenza questioni mitografiche, geografiche, antiquarie e iconografiche, ma talora anche aspetti linguistico-letterari, laddove siano utili all'inquadramento dell'orizzonte storico-culturale sotteso alla composizione dell'epillio. Nell'introduzione si dimostra come la sensibilità artistica dell'autore dell'ekphrasis possa essere ricondotta al periodo a cavallo tra il VII e il VI secolo a.C.The dissertation contains a continuous commentary on the late archaic poem known as Scutum Herculis and wrongly attributed to Hesiod. It discusses especially mythographical, geographic, antiquarian and iconographic issues, but also some linguistic and literary aspects, which can contribute to the outline of the historical and cultural milieu, within which the poem was composed. In the introduction it is showed how the artistic taste of the author of the ekphrasis could date back to the period between the 7th and the 6th century B.C
"Hungry to belong". Food, media and identity in IsraEnglish.
No full textIl titolo della tesi si riferisce alla canzone ‘Genes and Jeans’ (2008) della cantante israeliana Achinoam Nini (Noa). Attraverso le domande “Can I wear your jeans?” e “Can I were your genes?”, l’autrice esprime il desiderio di appartenenza condiviso dai migranti di tutto il mondo e particolarmente in Israele, un paese abitato da persone provenienti da più di 100 nazioni. Le sue origine ebraico-yemenite risultano evidenti dalla musica e dal testo in vernacolo, la sua “mother’s voice”. Il desiderio del Sé di aderire all’identità dell’Altro collide nelle sue parole con la vanità degli sforzi per ‘metamorfosizzarsi’. In riferimento al caso di Israele, l’espressione “hungry to belong” comunica proprio tale tensione interiore che caratterizza la negoziazione dell’identità sia a livello individuale che sociale.
L’espressione si addice perfettamente al titolo della ricerca, incentrata sulla relazione tra linguaggio del cibo e identità nei media israeliani in lingua inglese. Il dominio specifico del cibo è stato scelto poiché rappresenta uno degli aspetti simbolici più significativi dell’identità e più emblematicamente rappresentativi di come essa venga trattata nei media. Il linguaggio del cibo si interseca perciò non solo con le dinamiche identitarie caratterizzanti il contesto etnico, sociale e culturale di Israele bensì anche con le politiche dei media.
Il tema, coinvolgendo contemporaneamente varie discipline come la linguistica, l’antropologia e la comunicazione, manca quasi completamente di una bibliografia specifica. Nonostante la pubblicazione di studi concernenti singoli settori accademici, un approccio integrato è tuttora assente.
Il contesto linguistico israeliano è stato investigato a livello accademico da decenni, tra gli altri da Fishman (1985; 1996; 2001), Ben Rafael (1994), Lefkowitz (2004), Blum-Kulka (1997), Suleiman (1996; 2004) da un punto di vista sociolinguistico per tematiche relative all’identità, lo stile e la pragmatica, da Spolsky (con Cooper 1991; 1997; con Shohamy 1999 e 2001) e Shohamy (2006; 2009) per le politiche linguistiche, e da Zuckermann (2003) per i fenomeni di contatto con l’ebraico israeliano.
Le dinamiche identitarie in Israele sono state investigate invece, tra gli altri, da Ben Rafael (1994), Shafir e Peled (2002) e Lefkowitz (2004). Il legame tra identità e linguaggio del cibo nei media, però, non è ancora stato approfondito.
Il tema del cibo è stato trattato a livelli diversi, non solo da scrittori e giornalisti ma anche da accademici, che solitamente hanno affrontato l’argomento da un punto di vista storico-antropologico (tra gli altri Heine 2004; Gvion 2009; Ram 2004; Cohen e Avieli 2004).
La tesi intende apportare un contributo significativo e innovativo alla discussione concernente le relazioni tra il linguaggio del cibo e la rappresentazione dell’identità nei media israeliani. Essa offre alcuni elementi di originalità: a) l’argomento della ricerca, ossia l'emergente IsraEnglish, inteso come una varietà di inglese che si sta sviluppando in Israele; b) il corpus formato dalla rubrica relative al cibo, una tipologia di articoli la cui rilevanza a livello linguistico, politico e sociale viene spesso sottovalutata e generalmente ignorata dal mondo accademico; c) la descrizione dei fenomeni di contatto linguistico che caratterizzano l’IsraEnglish, al posto delle maggiormente studiate tendenze di arricchimento lessicale dell’ebraico; d) l’integrazione di diverse discipline (linguistica, media e comunicazione, storia, antropologia, politica).
La ricerca si prefigge il raggiungimento di cinque obiettivi:
a) confermare l’esistenza di una varietà israeliana di inglese in formazione, l’IsraEnglish;
b) definire un glossario di termini relativi al cibo in IsraEnglish;
c) definire il nucleo centrale a livello lessicale (‘core’) del linguaggio del cibo in IsraEnglish;
d) descrivere le dinamiche di contatto linguistico che caratterizzano l’IsraEnglish;
e) descrivere il ruolo della lingua nella rappresentazione dell’identità nel giornalismo israeliano.
La ricerca è stata sviluppata attraverso l’analisi, sia quantitativa che qualitativa, di un corpus di 500.000 parole (tokens) tratto dalla rubrica ‘Food and Wine’ del quotidiano The Jerusalem Post. Al fine di creare una lista di termini riferiti al cibo, è stato utilizzato un software per l’analisi di corpora, Wordsmith Tools. E’ stato creato un glossario contenente tutti i nomi relativi al cibo identificati come non appartenenti alla varietà standard di inglese. Si è poi identificato un nucleo centrale a livello lessicale (‘core’), isolando i nomi riferiti alle lingue locali da quelli legati alle cucine internazionali maggiormente soggette al fenomeno della globalizzazione, controllandone la non-inclusione nei principali dizionari di inglese britannico e americano (dato il generale prescrittivismo dei dizionari, l’inclusione di un termine ne avrebbe comportato anche la corrispondente appartenenza al lessico standard).
Alcuni fenomeni di contatto linguistico, come ad esempio i prestiti, sono stati poi presentati e discussi dettagliatamente.
L’analisi si è conclusa mettendo in relazione i fenomeni linguistici analizzati e le dinamiche identitarie, identificando le lingue, e quindi le identità, maggiormente presenti nella rubrica presa in considerazione.

Cambridge Review of International Affairs 16/ 2, 287- 307.The title of the thesis refers to the song ‘Genes and Jeans’ (2008) by the Israeli singer Achinoam Nini (Noa). Through the questions “Can I wear your jeans?” and “Can I were your genes?”, the author expresses the desire of belonging shared by immigrants worldwide, and particularly in Israel, a country inhabited by people coming from around 100 different nations. Her Jewish Yemenite origins are evident in the music and in the vernacular lyrics, her “mother’s voice”. The desire of the Self to adhere the Other’s identity collides in her words with the vanity of the efforts ‘to metamorphasize’. Referring to the case of Israel, “hungry to belong” communicates right this inner tension characterising the negotiation of identity both at individual and social level.
No other expression could suit better the title of this research, a study focusing on the relationship between food English and identity in the Israeli media.
The specific domain of food was chosen since it is one of the most symbolic aspects of identity and can be emblematically representative of its depiction in the media. Food language is therefore intertwined not only with the identity dynamics occurring in the Israeli ethnic, social and cultural context, but also with media policies.
The subject, since involving at the same time several disciplines such as linguistics, anthropology and communication studies, lacks almost completely a specific bibliography. Notwithstanding the publication of studies concerning single academic sectors, an integrated approach is still absent.
The Israeli linguistic context has been investigated by scholars for decades, among others Fishman (1985; 1996; 2001), Ben Rafael (1994), Lefkowitz (2004), Blum-Kulka (1997), Suleiman (1996; 2004) for sociolinguistic issues related to identity, style and pragmatics, Spolsky (with Cooper 1991; 1997; with Shohamy 1999 and 2001) and Shohamy (2006; 2009) for language policy, and Zuckermann (2003) for Israeli Hebrew contact linguistics. As far as the Israeli linguistic repertoire is concerned, nevertheless, mainly interactions in Hebrew or Arabic have been taken into consideration, but little attention has been paid to English, above all in its written form employed by English-language media.
The dynamics of identity in Israel have been deeply investigated, among others, by Ben Rafael (1994), Shafir and Peled (2002) and Lefkowitz (2004). The connection between identity and food language in the media however has not been investigated yet.
Food is a subject dealt with at different levels, not only by food writers and journalists but also by scholars , who generally approach the subject from a historical and anthropological point of view (among others, Heine 2004; Gvion 2009; Ram 2004; Cohen and Avieli 2004).
This study is an effort to add a significant and innovative contribution to the discussion concerning the relationship between food language and identity as presented by the Israeli media. The research offers several elements of originality: a)the main topic, i.e. IsraEnglish intended as a developing Israeli local variety of English; b) food columns as corpus, a kind of features whose relevance at linguistic, political and social level is often underestimated and almost ignored by academics; c) the description of phenomena of language contact affecting IsraEnglish, instead of the much more extensively studied contact trends in Hebrew; d) the integration of different disciplines (linguistics, media and communication studies, history, political studies, and anthropology).
The research aims to five main targets:
a) confirming that an Israeli variety of English (IsraEnglish) is actually emerging;
b) defining a glossary of food IsraEnglish terms;
c) defining the lexical core of food IsraEnglish;
d) describing the dynamics of language contact which are at the basis of food IsraEnglish;
e) describing the role of language in the representation of identity in Israeli food journalism.
The research was developed through the analysis, both quantitative and qualitative, of a corpus of food features made up of 500.000 words (tokens) collected from The Jerusalem Post. A software of corpus analysis, Wordsmith Tools, was employed for the definition of a list of food nouns present in the articles analysed. All terms identified as non-standard English food nouns were given a definition to form a glossary. From the list of terms, the ‘core’ of food IsraEnglish was isolated, first by distinguishing local terms from those linked to globalised international cuisines and then by checking their non-inclusion in mainstream British and American English dictionaries (given the general prescriptive attitude of dictionaries, the addition of a term would have implied its inclusion in the Standard English lexicon).
Some phenomena of language contact, such as borrowings, loanwords etc. were then presented and discussed in detail.
By connecting language and identity, the linguistic analysis lead to the identification of the most common languages used to deal with food in the English-language Israeli media, hence to the most represented identities. The issue was discussed also referring to social, political and anthropologic studies concerning the history and the representation of food in Israel.
