Bioética y biotecnología del amor en los tiempos del poshumanismo
No full textEs novedad el tema del amor en bioética. La Encyclopedia of Bioethics en sus tres ediciones al momento no registra siquiera el vocablo, que debe su aparición a la presente investigación biotecnológica, abriendo un nuevo capítulo de la bioética, un paso más en la medicalización de la ética iniciada con la disciplina. Abordamos entonces bioética y biotecnología del amor desde una perspectiva determinada por el poshumanismo, la medicina meliorativa o perfectiva y el neuromejoramiento.Fil: Mainetti, Jose Alberto.

A model driven approach to GDPR compliance
No full textThis paper proposes a model-driven approach based on business process modeling to support compliance with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, EU 2016/679). The adoption of GDPR by an organisation raises the main question of how to audit the organisation’s adherence. Starting from BPMN, which can allow businesses to better understand their internal business procedures, we propose an approach that helps to identify the most important key point(s) for GDPR compliance
A Structured Approach to GDPR Compliance
No full textThe European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, EU 2016/679), adopted by the European Parliament has profoundly changed the legislative approach to the protection of personal data by the European Union. The GDPR provisions require organizations to make deep changes. Organizations have to shift from an approach based on the adoption of minimum-security measures, provided by the EU Directive of 1994, to a proactive approach based on accountability. Organizations that manage personal data of EU citizens have to adopt systems of verification and continuous improvement and adopt principles such as privacy by design and privacy by default. The rule of “privacy by design” calls for privacy to be taken into account throughout the whole engineering process. A key point is the methods for checking compliance with GDPR. This paper proposes a structured approach based on business process modelling, to support compliance with the GDPR. We have identified an approach that has to identify the most important key points for GDPR compliance
Visualizzazione avanzata di risultati di ricerche sul Web: un’architettura aperta e uno strumento collaborativo
No full textI motori di ricerca oggi disponibili sul Web si stanno specializzando in varie direzioni: ricerche tematiche settoriali, tecniche sofisticate di indicizzazione dei dati, meta-descrizione dei contenuti, analisi delle pagine e del contesto di ricerca, analisi della qualità dei documenti ritrovati, meta-ricerche. In generale, gli sforzi si concentrano sul versante dei dati e degli strumenti di ricerca, mentre vi è un’enfasi molto ridotta sul versante della visualizzazione dei risultati delle ricerche. Il presente lavoro è motivato dalla evidente necessità di esplorare delle metafore di presentazione all’utente dei risultati delle ricerche sul Web più efficaci e comunicative di quelle oggi in uso. Il lavoro propone un’architettura aperta ed uno strumento collaborativo per la visualizzazione tridimensionale avanzata di risultati di ricerche, ottenute a partire da comuni motori o meta-motori di ricerca
La lección bioética del Centauro Quirón: Un mito arquetipo de la condición humana
No full textLa creación de la Fundación Mainetti en 1969 da comienzo a mis años de magisterio y a nuestra primera etapa de institucionalización del humanismo en medicina, con el establecimiento de la editorial Quirón y luego el Instituto de Humanidades Médicas. El mito del centauro Quirón se encarna en la historia oficial de la Fundación, porque el centauro simboliza la constitución de los dos proyectos originarios y definitorios de la Fundación Mainetti: el médico y el humanístico, el quirúrgico y el cerebrúrgico, el oncológico y el bioético. Dos escuelas, de mentalidad y obra diversas, y también desparejos méritos, pero cuya unión significa nuestro concreto destino.Fil: Mainetti, Jose Alberto.

Cyber Risk Analysis for IoT Infrastructure in Smart City Context
No full textThe spread of IoT sensor and actuator networks in the context of Smart Cities requires an ever-increasing attention to IT security and therefore also to adopt methodologies for analyzing cyber risk. IoT networks have an increasingly important function in Smart Cities, becoming active agents whose tampering could compromise the functioning of entire systems. IoT infrastructure could be considered, as a Critical Infrastructure. In the contest of industrial process and automation, and in particular in the so- called Industry 4.0, the now intensive application of control systems in interconnected networks has led to an increase in unexpected threats to information security for supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and control systems distributed (DCS). With due attention, interesting parallels can be found between remote control systems typical of the industrial environment and IoT sensor networks in Smart Cities than classical IT risk assessment methods couldn’t be enough. In this paper we want to try to decline in the context of Smart Cities a methodology named CRiSP (Cyber Risk Analysis in Industrial Process System Environment). created for the assessment of cyber risk in industrial contexts that have strongly connected plants. CRiSP defines an approach to analyze the risk related to the manipulation of a single element of the plant and to analyze the consequence to entire plant and to a restricted portion
Business Process awareness to support GDPR compliance
No full textThis paper proposes e model driven approach, based on business process awareness to support the compliance to GDPR. The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR (EU) 2016/679) regard the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data. The main purpose is to safeguard the data subject’s human dignity and fundamental rights. To achieve this goal is necessary to identify the motivation of data management, define who have access to data, and determine with high precision how, when and how many times the organization store manage the data. GDPR requires the self-assessment of digital risks on the basis of the impact assessment analysis. The adoption of GDPR by an organization raises this main question: how do we audit an organization’s adherence? Starting form BPMN that “provide businesses with the capability of understanding their internal business procedures” we propose an approach that help to identify the most important keypoint(s) useful for GDPR compliance. To analyse the potential applicability of our thesis we describe a “Vacation Request” scenario where we applied the proposed approach
Evolution of Wireless Sensor Networks towards the Internet of Things: a Survey
No full textWireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are playing more and more a key role in several application scenarios such as healthcare, agriculture, environment monitoring, and smart metering. Furthermore, WSNs are characterized by high heterogeneity because there are many different proprietary and non-proprietary solutions. This wide range of technologies has delayed new deployments and integration with existing sensor networks. The current trend, however, is to move away from proprietary and closed standards, to embrace IP-based sensor networks using the emerging standard 6LoWPAN/IPv6. This allows native connectivity between WSN and Internet, enabling smart objects to participate to the Internet of Things (IoT). Building an all-IP infrastructure from scratch, however, would be difficult because many different sensors and actuators technologies (both wired and wireless) have already been deployed over the years. After a review of the state of the art, this paper sketches a framework able to harmonize legacy and new installations, allowing migrating to an all-IP environment at a later stage. The Building Automation use case has been chosen to discuss potential benefits of the proposed framework
A preliminary study to investigate the health status about the role and competencies of the Digital Transformation Manager in the Italian Public Administrations
No full text: The digitalization of public administration represents a crucial factor for the
socio-economic growth of a country. Whereas infrastructural and process drivers are
relevant to support the transformation process, human resource capabilities and the
presence of purposeful leadership and managerial capabilities are crucial to fully
exploit the potential offered by digital technologies. In such perspective, this research
focuses on the Italian system as a case study, with the objective to identify strengths
and weaknesses related to the management and human capital drivers of digital
transformation. In particular, we focus on the role of the Responsible for Digital
Transition (RTD), a professional role introduced with the Digital Administration Code
(DAC) to enable public institutions to effectively undertake their digital
transformation journey. We use open data and public repositories to analyse an
extensive sample of 954 RTDs, and we compare the curricula of appointed
professionals with the legislative requirements and the specific functions defined by
the CAD. We also provide a literature-based and practitioner-oriented framework of
competence areas to facilitate our benchmark. The study shows that over 20% of
public entities have not yet appointed a RTD and in most cases there is a significant
discrepancy between the competencies possessed and those required by the CAD. This
represents a critical issue, which highlights the need of targeted interventions to
address the gaps in both the appointments and the training procedures and methods.
The study offers a critical evaluation of the current state of digital transition in the
Italian system, highlighting the main challenges and proposing possible solutions. We
also contribute to the academic discussion with a competence definition framework
and insights on the centrality of human capital to drive digital transformatio
Model-Driven Generation of Collaborative Virtual Environments for Cultural Heritage
No full textCollaborative Virtual Environments are experiencing a large interest in cultural heritage field mostly due to the strong opportunity given by novel augmented reality applications. There are already several examples of collaborative augmented visit to museums or historical sites. Anyway the traditional and static approach to computer graphics is very limiting because it often requires the development of a Virtual Environment for every new application.
In this paper, we propose a technique for model-driven generation of mixed reality virtual environments, where every modification in contents, visit path and in interactions with the physical surrounding environment don’t require a great re-coding effort, enabling fast deployment of collaborative virtual environments for cultural explorations only providing new contents and a small set of parameters
