The changing structure of labour law: judiciary courts and termination of contract in Italy between 19 and 20 century
No full textIn these pages the author explains how, during the Italian Liberal Age (1865-1914), Civil Courts deal with the lack of rules regarding employment contract and dismissal (in Italian, ‘licenziamento’), providing a model confirmed by the reforms carried out in the early decades of the 20th Century and in the current legal system
Children of a lesser god : the legalized exploitation of child labour as revealed by the Liberal Era Judicial Record : late 19th-20th Century
No full textIn this article, the author explores the legal treatment of children employed in factories from the end of the 19th century to the early 20th century.
To do so, he will examine the legislative record (ranging from the first bills proposed on the issue to the reforms of 1886, 1902, 1907 and 1910), jurisprudence (both civil and penal), and lastly, the legal doctrine of the time, which essentially legitimized “the legalized exploitation” of about 10% of the population under the age of 15
On the use of simulated experiments in designing tests for material characterization from full-field measurements
No full textThe present paper deals with the use of simulated experiments to improve the design of an actual mechanical test. The analysis focused on the identification of the orthotropic properties of composites using the unnotched Iosipescu test and a full-field optical technique, the grid method. The experimental test was reproduced numerically by finite element analysis and the recording of deformed grey level images by a CCD camera was simulated trying to take into account the most significant parameters that can play a role during an actual test, e.g. the noise, the failure of the specimen, the size of the grid printed on the surface, etc. The grid method then was applied to the generated synthetic images in order to extract the displacement and strain fields and the Virtual Fields Method was finally used to identify the material properties and a cost function was devised to evaluate the error in the identification. The developed procedure was used to study different features of the test such as the aspect ratio and the fibre orientation of the specimen, the use of smoothing functions in the strain reconstruction from noisy data, the influence of missing data on the identification. Four different composite materials were considered and, for each of them, a set of optimized design variables was found by minimization of the cost function
Libanio, ep. 1286 Förster e l’Ocypus di Acacio
No full textA letter sent by Libanius of Antioch (1286 F.) to his friend and correspondent Acacius proves that the addressee is the author of the short dramation on the gout, Ocypus, handed down within the corpus of Lucian of Samosata. This letter also allows to corroborate an emendation advanced by Enrico Magnelli at v. 74 in his recent edition of the text
Decoding the "Free/Open Source(F/OSS) Software Puzzle" a survey of theoretical and empirical contributions
No full textF/OSS software has been described by many as a puzzle. In the past five years, it has stimulated the curiosity of scholars in a variety of fields, including economics, law, psychology, anthropology and computer science, so that the number of contributions on the subject has increased exponentially. The purpose of this paper is to provide a sufficiently comprehensive account of these contributions in order to draw some general conclusions on the state of our understanding of the phenomenon and identify directions for future research. The exercise suggests that what is puzzling about F/OSS is not so much the fact that people freely contribute to a good they make available to all, but rather the complexity of its institutional structure and its ability to organizationally evolve over time.F/OSS software, Innovation, Incentives, Governance, Intellectual Property Rights
Protezione dei dati personali e diritti fondamentali della persona: le nuove norme sui "codici di prenotazione" (PNR)
No full textIn the present paper, the Author deals with the problematic interaction between, on the one hand, the fundamental right to personal data protection and, on the other hand, the needs of national security, focusing in particular on the directive 2016/681/UE on the use of passenger name record (PNR) data for the prevention, detection, investigation and prosecution of terrorist offences and serious crime. The first part of the paper analyses the International legal framework on PNRs and provides an overview of the agreements concluded by the European Union and third countries (United States of America, Canada and Australia) on the transfer of such data between the two parties. The second part of the paper offers a critical analysis of some specific aspects of the directive 2016/681/UE with the purpose of verifying whether they are fully compliant with the fundamental rights expressly set forth in Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights and Articles 7 and 8 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, as interpreted by the two Courts

Authorship of Italian medical literature on neuroendocrine neoplasms: any gender gap?
No full textPurpose: While males have dominated the physician lines over the last decades the recent female doctors' number increasing might progressively reduce this gender gap. This might be not fully true in the academic/research area. We aimed to analyze the gender distribution of first/senior Italian authors on neuroendocrine neoplasm papers published on peer reviewed journals. Methods: Publications from January 2019 to September 2023 were reviewed; only papers with first and/or senior Italian authors were included. First/senior author gender, type of article, co-authorship with foreign authors were the variable analyzed. Results: 742 papers with Italian first and/or senior authors were retrieved, 449 (60.5%) multicentric, 285 (38.4%) original articles. A female author was first and senior author in 386/742 (52%) and in 228/742 (31%) papers, respectively. 150 (20.2%) papers included foreign coauthors, being an Italian female researcher first author in 50 papers (33%), senior author in 28 (18.6%). The number of Italian female first/senior authors has been increasing over the years (22 in 2019, 113 in 2022; 16 in 2019, 62 in 2022, respectively). The first/senior female authors were mainly Oncologists/Endocrinologists/Pathologists rather than Gastroenterologists/Nuclear Medicine doctors/Surgeons/Radiologists. Conclusion: There has been an increase in the prevalence of female authorship of published research in the neuroendocrine setting over the last 5 years, which partially reflects the current distributions in this field, taking into account that several specialties with different gender distribution are involved. However, senior authorship continues to be primarily men. Efforts should be made to improve proportionate gender representation in both clinical and academic/research setting
