Suggestioni classiche in 'Denier du reve' di Marguerite Yourcenar
No full textThis paper investigates the references to classical antiquity in Marguerite Yourcenar's 'Denier du reve', a novel set in Rome in 1933 whose final version was published in 1959. In 'Denier du reve' Yourcenar mentions or alludes to many aspects of the Greek and Roman past, such as sculpture, architecture, literature, myth, religion, and politics. These references cooperate in representing the mystery and the complexity that pervade the world of 'Denier du reve'
Latin in Egyptian Documents between Caracalla and Diocletian
No full textThe third century A.D. is known to be a major historical watershed, including Caracalla's Constitutio Antoniniana (A.D. 212), which extended Roman citizenship to almost all the inhabitants of the Empire, and Diocletian's reforms (A.D. 285-305), which inaugurated Late Antiquity. An overview of Latin and bilingual documentary texts on papyrus, ostraka, and tablets produced in Egypt in this century, and a comparison with evidence from the previous and following ones, will lead to some considerations on the spread and significance of the Latin language in this province

No full textZibaldoni e repertori da Bartolommeo Capasso a Luigi Volpicella
No full textL’autore ricostruisce il metodo di lavoro di due storici, Bartolommeo Capasso (1815-1900), uno dei fondatori della Società Napoletana di Storia patria, e Luigi Volpicella iunior (1864-1949), attraverso le loro carte, custodite dalla Società, contenenti appunti e spogli delle fonti primarie e della bibliografia. Verrà evidenziato il legame tra il modo con cui Capasso classificava le informazioni e il metodo umanistico dei notabilia. Per Volpicella ci si soffermerà sulle carte geografiche che predispose come atti preparatori dei profili biografici da lui pubblicati a corredo di un’edizione documentaria.
The author reconstructs the working method of two historians, Bartolommeo Capasso (1815-1900), one of the founders of the Società Napoletana di Storia patria, and Luigi Volpicella junior (1864-1949), through their papers preserved by the Società. These documents contain notes and extracts from primary sources and bibliography. The connection between Capasso’s information management and the humanistic method of notabilia is highlighted. As for Volpicella, emphasis is placed on the geographical maps he produced as preparatory acts for the biographical profiles he published in a documentary edition

Responsible nudging for social good: new healthcare skills for AI-driven digital personal assistants
No full textTraditional medical practices and relationships are changing given the widespread adoption of AI-driven technologies across the various domains of health and healthcare. In many cases, these new technologies are not specific to the field of healthcare. Still, they are existent, ubiquitous, and commercially available systems upskilled to integrate these novel care practices. Given the widespread adoption, coupled with the dramatic changes in practices, new ethical and social issues emerge due to how these systems nudge users into making decisions and changing behaviours. This article discusses how these AI-driven systems pose particular ethical challenges with regards to nudging. To confront these issues, the value sensitive design approach is adopted as a principled methodology that designers can adopt to design these systems to avoid harming and contribute to the social good. The AI for Social Good factors are adopted as the norms constraining maleficence. In contrast, higher-order values specific to AI, such as those from the EU High-Level Expert Group on AI and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, are adopted as the values to be promoted as much as possible in design. The use case of Amazon Alexa's Healthcare Skills is used to illustrate this design approach. It provides an exemplar of how designers and engineers can begin to orientate their design programs of these technologies towards the social good
The an and the quomodo of appeal: a theoretical framework
No full textThe presentation attempts to reconstruct, from the point of view of general theory and comparative law, the potential existence and extent of the right to appeal. Although concluding that this right tends not to be recognized (unlike the right to access to court), the author nevertheless argues that the provision of at least one level of appeal is in the state's own interest, and that any limits to this right can be set, but must pass a rationality test
Assessing the need for cultural expertise in civil proceedings: from Court’s discretion to the duty to supplement the judge’s extra-legal knowledge
No full textThe contribution analyzes cultural expertise, i.e., expert evidence provided by anthropologists, sociologists, ethnologists and the like, in disputes where cultural diversity comes to the fore. In the face of widespread skepticism with respect to the value of the contribution of such evidence, the author aims to demonstrate that there is no reason to adopt a different attitude with respect to the hard and soft sciences, and that respect for the intellectual and procedural due process is required in any case
