Peer to Consumer Lending
No full textPeer to consumer lending represents an alternative form of financing characterized, within
the crowdfunding genus, by the collecting of credit offers to be matched with borrowing demand through a digital platform. The essay focuses on legal analysis of some aspects of the
structure and the functioning of lending marketplaces operating in the sector at stake. The
Author argues how this business model – especially when the phenomenon involves consumers and, more generally, non-professionals counterparts – may be critical as regards to the
classical cathegories and concepts ruling the lending/borrowing discourse
La proposta di regolamento MiCA e la disciplina delle pratiche commerciali scorrette
No full textThe most part of European and domestic supervisory authorities have underlined the likelihood
that either the issuing and the negotiation of cryptoassets may be the final outcome of
unfair and deceptive commercial practices. The discipline laid down by the Directive 2005/29/
CE – now expressely recalled by the MiCAR Proposal – seems to be crucial for the best functioning
of the market at stake. The Author stresses how the interplay between «horizontal»
and «vertical» measures needs the interpreters play a pivotal role, in order to grant the best
understanding of the circumstances of the case as well as the best using of the «professional
diligence» general clause
Disciplina generale delle obbligazioni e sovraindebitamento
No full textThe essay compares the law of obligations and the
law of over-indebtedness with the aim of examining whether and to what extent
they interact. To this end, the Author highlights the diversity of assumptions and
effects -which is first and foremost a diversity of perspective-between them and
then clarifies their relationship in terms of alternativity and self-sufficiency. On
these premises, it is argued that despite the reported differences, the over-indebtedness rules are capable of changing the face of the obligation in more than
one respect. In particular, the possibility of a fresh start offered to “any debtor”
undermines the idea of an essentially enforceable bond and marks the demise
of the Civil Code obligation as the prototype of market relations
Technical and Economic Efficiency of Vine Pruning: Results of Experimental Trials of Some Cultivars of Grapevine Grown in Sicily and Determination of Break-even Point
No full textThe research presents the results carried out on Sicilian viticulture in order to study the economic
sustainability of the agricultural company. In particular, the author examined the operation of dry pruning and tying
of the fruiting head in espalier vineyards with tools that facilitate the work. The economic analysis highlights that
equipping yourself with mechanical tools that facilitate work is convenient for both large and small wineries. The results
of the research highlight that the investment to facilitate pruning and tying in Guyot-trained vineyards can also be made
by wine-growing companies and is increasingly convenient as the area under vines involved increases
IL PIANO DEL CONSUMATORE SOVRAINDEBITATO: TENTATIVI DI RIFORMA E PROSPETTIVA EUROPEA
No full textSocial Inclusion and responsible lending seem to became the main policy roots along which a new regulatory framework for households credit and particularly for consumer credit is being shaped at Europeanlevel;throughtheinterplaybetweenthetwo,non-economic goals such as fighting poverty spread and promoting social cohesion can be combined with properly economic ones, such as the systemic risks prevention arising from weak credit access filter mechanism. Proofs of that come from political documents as well as from proper sources of law: suffice to mention the 2016 Opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee on “Fighting poverty”, on the one hand, and the Directive 2014/17 EU on credit agreements for consumers relating to residential immovable property, on the other. Coherently with such a sensibility, even if quite late compare to the most of other Member States, Italy has adopted the new discipline on consumer overindebtedness (Legge 3/2012), implying a subversion of many consolidated principles and rules on law of obligations by offering three different legal mechanisms to put the debt relief goal into practice. Notwithstanding this potential, the interest payed to it by both the courts and the doctrine has been modest. The article stresses the reasons of such a scarce appeal, by mainly focusing and analyzing pros and cons of the “Consumer plan”, one of the available techniques offered to overindebted consumers by the Italian legislation for getting a debts relief. On these premises, the Author depicts those amendments of the discipline into force looking more coherent with the European framework, and worth in terms of efficiency
Race among friends: race, friendship, and multicultural literature in a suburban school
No full textRace continues to be an important factor in youth identity and a stratifying element within school environments. Race influences relationships among students and staff, the construction and implementation of curriculum, and broader school policy; these aspects of school life intersect to inform racial identity in youth. This dissertation examines the varied and complex ways that students and teachers think about race and act out racial identity as they study multicultural literature in suburban high school classrooms. During the spring semester of 2012 I acted as participant observer in 10th and 11th grade literature classes at Excellence Academy (EA), a suburban, racially mixed charter school. Students and teachers at EA spoke of the school’s friendly environment, and especially mentioned the prevalence of long term, close cross-racial friendships among students. Using critical race theory as my theoretical framework and students’ responses to multicultural literature as my focal point, I argue that in this friendly environment race affected the daily experiences of students and teachers in important but largely unexamined ways. Students and staff constructed and maintained racially informed boundaries that perpetuated power structures among them. Some African American and white students expressed anger, frustration, and resentment at perceived marginalization, while white teachers were anxious about possible student accusations of racism; however, these feelings usually remained beneath the surface of the school’s friendly setting. Students’ cross-racial friendships allowed the space for some white students to engage in insensitively expressed discourses that denied the salience of racism in a present day context. Other white and African American students listened in silence, not wanting to contradict their more vocal white friends or make them feel “blamed” for racism. Therefore, the school’s friendly environment did not promote (and may have hindered) deep and productive conversations about race and racial inequity. I recommend ways that schools can facilitate broader understandings among students of how race continues to affect their lives in educational settings.Ph.

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
