    «Terapie» di conversione e responsabilità genitoriale

    No full text
    La legge tedesca n. 28 del 12 giugno 2020 vieta per la prima volta in Europa le c.d. “terapie” di conversione, per tali intendendosi i trattamenti di vario genere volti a ri-orientare sessualmente soggetti non eterosessuali. La novità offre lo spunto per interrogarsi sulle conseguenze di natura civilistica che possano scaturire da una simile fattispecie nell’ordinamento italiano. Illustrato il rapporto esistente tra “responsabilità genitoriale” e rispetto della “identità di genere” del minore, vengono analizzati i rime-di della decadenza dalla responsabilità genitoriale, della diseredazione e dell’indegnità a succedere, nonché, infine, della responsabilità civile da illecito endo-familiare

    Un'eterna fase istruttoria. Il purgatorio burocratico di Augusto Frassineti

    Full text link
    Il contributo esplora la dimensione purgatoriale in Misteri dei Ministeri (Einaudi 1973), l’opera più significativa dello scrittore e traduttore Augusto Frassineti. Il primo paragrafo ripercorre in breve la storia del libro e ne illustra la struttura; l’analisi si concentra successivamente sui motivi purgatoriali presenti nelle pagine trattatistiche del libro, riconducibili alla tradizione kafkiana di medî regni novecenteschi. Echi purgatoriali vengono quindi rintracciati e verificati anche in alcuni degli inserti narrativi dell’opera. Dall’analisi Misteri dei Ministeri emerge come un esempio di umorismo etico e civile, in grado di saldare fra loro satira, invenzione e peculiari strategie di realism

    Unfair Terms and Supplementation of the Contract

    Full text link
    Article 6, paragraph 1 of Directive 1993/13/EEC provides that unfair terms shall not be binding, whereas the contract shall continue to bind the parties with regards to the terms that can still be effective. Such a rule pursues the particular interest of the consumer, along with the more general interest towards an efficient and competitive market only when the abusive clause is not essential. In fact, when the unfair term constitutes one of the main obligations of the debtor, the contract is not able to continue to exist once deprived from the unfair term. In such situations, in order to provide the consumer with an adequate and effective remedy, a supplementation of the contract is needed.L ’article 6, paragraphe 1 de la Directive 1993/13/CEE dispose que les clauses abusives ne lient pas les consommateurs et que le contrat restera contraignant pour les parties selon les termes qui peuvent rester effectifs. Une telle règle poursuit l’intérêt particulier du consommateur ainsi que l’intérêt plus général vis-à-vis d’un marché performant et compétitif uniquement lorsque la clause abusive n’est pas essentielle. En fait, lorsque la clause abusive constitue l’une des principales obligations du débiteur, le contrat ne peut plus continuer d’exister une fois privé de la clause abusive. Dans de telles situations, et afin de fournir au consommateur une solution adéquate et effective, un complément du contrat s’avère nécessaire.Artikel 6 Absatz 1 der Richtlinie 1993/13/EWG sieht vor, dass missbräuchliche Klauseln unverbindlich sind, während der Vertrag die Parteien hinsichtlich der Klauseln, die noch wirksam sein können, weiterhin binden soll. Eine solche Regelung verfolgt das besondere Interesse des Verbrauchers sowie das allgemeine Interesse an einem effizienten und wettbewerbsfähigen Markt nur dann, wenn die missbräuchliche Klausel nicht wesentlich ist. Wenn nämlich die missbräuchliche Klausel eine der Hauptpflichten des Schuldners darstellt, kann der Vertrag nicht mehr fortbestehen, sobald die missbräuchliche Klausel wegfällt.In solchen Situationen ist eine Ergänzung des Vertragserforderlich,um dem Verbraucher eine angemessene und wirksame Abhilfe zu verschaffen

    Investigating secure and distributed control in IoT: improving BLE security and strengthening LoRaWAN with blockchain

    Full text link
    The rapid proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) has led to the widespread deployment of low-power wireless communication technologies such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and LoRaWAN, each designed to meet the connectivity and efficiency demands of IoT devices. BLE has emerged as a key technology for short-range communication, enabling applications such as proximity sensing, wearables, and asset tracking, while LoRaWAN supports long-range communication with low power consumption, ideal for wide-area networks in smart cities and rural areas. However, as the number of connected devices grows, so do the security and privacy concerns associated with these networks. Simultaneously, the advent of edge computing and distributed network paradigms offers potential solutions to some of these challenges, providing enhanced computational power and network decentralization, which are critical for scalable and secure IoT systems. In BLE networks, Medium Access Control (MAC) address randomization is a key privacy feature, designed to prevent device tracking by periodically changing the device’s MAC address. However, by leveraging edge computing, mesh networks of BLE sensors can be deployed to circumvent this feature, enabling large-scale tracking despite randomization. On the Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN) side, LoRaWAN typically operates under a centralized architecture, where a Network Server manages key security tasks like authentication and routing. This centralization introduces risks such as single points of failure and insider threats. To address these issues, edge computing can be applied to decentralize LoRaWAN, with edge nodes handling local processes to reduce dependency on the central server. Integrating a permissioned blockchain removes the need for centralized control, ensuring secure, transparent device authentication and key management without relying on a single authority. This work explores the dual role of edge computing and distributed networks in IoT technologies like BLE and LoRaWAN, examining both the opportunities and risks associated with decentralized approaches. For BLE, the power of edge computing used to circumvent privacy features such as MAC address randomization is investigated. For LoRaWAN, edge computing and permissioned blockchain are proposed as mechanisms to decentralize the network, removing central points of control and improving security against internal and external threats. As IoT continues to expand into various domains, from smart cities to industrial automation, understanding the interplay between edge computing, distributed networks, and low-power communication technologies will be crucial in building scalable, secure, and efficient IoT ecosystems

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    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
