Diritto pubblico contemporaneo. Gli ordinamenti costituzionali.
La collana vuole approfondire la conoscenza di singoli ordinamenti costituzionali, avvalendosi dell'apporto diretto di eminenti costituzionalisti dei Paesi di volta in volta scelti, proponendo però al contempo volumi di agile consultazione anche da parte di un uditorio più vasto. Di anno in anno vengono tradotti o commissionati volumi su ordinamenti in genere appartenenti a Paesi di democrazia consolidata, anche se sono stati pubblicati anche testi relativi ad ordinamenti di recente democratizzazione.
La scelta è orientata anche dalle evoluzioni costitzionali dei vari ordinamenti e dal loro interesse attuale nel panorama comparatistico

MR Imaging of Hepatocellular Adenomas and Differential Diagnosis Dilemma
Hepatocellular adenomas (HCAs) are currently categorized into distinct genetic and pathologic subtypes as follows: inflammatory hepatocellular adenoma, hepatocyte-nuclear-factor-1-alpha (HNF-1α-mutated) hepatocellular adenoma, and β-catenin-mutated hepatocellular adenomas; the fourth, defined as unclassified subtype, encompasses HCAs without any genetic abnormalities. This classification has accepted management implications due to different risks of haemorrhage and malignant transformation of the four subtypes. Imaging guided biopsy and/or surgical resection very important in obtaining definitive characterization; nevertheless, MRI with intra-extravascular and hepatobiliary (dual phase) agents, is an important tool not only in differential subtypes definition but even in surveillance with early identification of complications and discovery of some signs of HCA malignant degeneration. Inflammation, abnormal rich vascularisation, peliotic areas, and abundant fatty infiltration are pathologic findings differently present in the HCA subtypes and they may be detected by multiparametric MRI approach. Lesion enlargement and heterogeneity of signal intensity and of contrast enhancement are signs to be considered in malignant transformation. The purpose of this paper is to present the state of the art of MRI in the diagnosis of HCA and subtype characterization, with particular regard to morphologic and functional information available with dual phase contrast agents, and to discuss differential diagnosis with the most common benign and malignant lesions mimicking HCAs
Climax Change! How Architecture Must Transform in the Age of Ecological Emergency
The opening phrases in Pedro Gadanho’s Climax Change! are, in his words, a “shock proposal” (p. 14). He tells us that we have to stop making new buildings. We need this, says the author, to save us from climate change. This idea is quite provocative and interesting at the same time; it could be click-bait to convince the reader to go on with the book to learn how to make it rea
