General Average and Risk Management in Medieval and Early Modern Maritime Business
No full textThis is the final version. Available on open access from Palgrave Macmillan via the DOI in this recordThe chapter "Sharing Risks, on Averages and Why They Matter" by Maria Fusaro is available in ORE at http://hdl.handle.net/10871/132151This open access book explores the history of risk management in medieval and early modern European maritime business, focusing particularly on 'General Average' – a mechanism by which extraordinary expenses regarding ship or cargo, incurred during a voyage to save the venture, are shared between all participants to protect equity. This volume traces the history of this risk management tool from its origins in the pre-Roman Mediterranean through to its use in the shipping sector today. Contributions range from the Islamic Mediterranean to the Low Countries, and taken together, provide a wide-ranging analysis of social, cultural, and political aspects of pre-modern maritime commerce in Europe.
The volume is divided into five parts. The first one—Why and How Risk
is Shared—starts with Maria Fusaro’s introduction and analytical description of the concept of General Average [GA] at large, highlighting some
of its peculiarities and importance regarding both its historical development and future policy. This is followed by essays by Ron Harris and
Giovanni Ceccarelli that, from two different perspectives, contextualise
GA’s importance within the development of medieval and early modern
risk management tools and business strategies.
The second part—Origins and Variants of Mutual Protection—traces
the development of GA from Byzantium to Early Modern Italy. It starts
with Daphne Penna detailing the complex transition of GA from Roman
law to the Digest, the Byzantine collection known as the Rhodian SeaLaw and their transmission in the Basilica. The focus then shifts to Hassan
Khalilieh’s discussion of how GA rules and practices evolved in the Islamic
Mediterranean. This section ends with Andrea Addobbati’s analysis of
how this complex genealogy was received in early modern Italy.
The third part—The Iberian Experience—is dedicated to the multifaceted articulation of Averages within the Hispanic world. Ana María
Rivera Medina argues for the medieval roots of maritime risk mutualisation in northern Spain, and the second essay—by Gijs Dreijer—analyses
the transplantation of these usages in the Spanish Low Countries in the
fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The section concludes with Marta García
Garralón discussing the peculiarities of GA as practiced within the Carrera
de Indias.
The next part—The Genoese Experience—focuses on the extremely
rich documentary evidence regarding GA in Genoa. It starts with
Antonio Iodice’s discussion of local early modern normative developments. Then—in the essay by Luisa Piccinno—the focus shifts to the
importance of GA data for the analysis of maritime trade passing through
the port of Genoa. Andrea Zanini completes this section discussing
the intersection between financing the maritime sector and risk-sharing
strategies in the eighteenth century.
The fifth and last part—Mature Systems—presents three cases in which
GA was used as a tool of political economy by states with a strong
maritime sector. Jake Dyble analyses the free port of Livorno, Sabine Go
discusses developments in Amsterdam, and Lewis Wade the effects of the
Ordonnance de la Marine in the French case.European Union Horizon 202
Gojko Čelebić: интервју Ana Maria Haddad Baptista и Márcia Fusaro
No full textHe was born in 1958 in the capital of Montenegro, Podgorica. He studied Ancient Greek at Charles University in Prague (founded in 1348) and graduated from the Faculty of Dramatic Arts. His teachers were the best Czech pedagogues, and he was influenced by his “teacher and friend”, the world-renowned storyteller Bohumil Hrabal, as well as the anti-communist dissidents among whom he was formed.
He has published 80 books, plays and screenplays and has tried his hand at all genres. He is a novelist (13 novels) and a storyteller (15 collections of short stories) by vocation, but he has also published dozens of books of essays, scientific prose, poetry and theoretical, or literary-historical works. In his stage work, he is dedicated to theater and film (he is the author of seven feature films).
He was the Minister of Culture of Montenegro (1993-97) and later an ambassador, or high-ranking diplomat, in ten countries, where he represented first the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, then the common state of Serbia and Montenegro, and finally his native Montenegro. He translates literary and theatrical works from six foreign languages. He lives in Montenegro and Prague.
In recent years, he has been working on the anthology Poetry of Brazil 1525-2025, with 87 Brazilian poets from all eras that he has selected, translated into Serbian and wrote a critical apparatus for this anthology, which will soon be published in 700 pages in large format. Two of his books have been translated into Portuguese: Writers of Jewish Prague (a comprehensive 432-page study on Jewish writers in Prague such as Franz Kafka, Max Brod, Franz Werfel and others), and the prose Novel about Paris, thanks to the efforts of a professor at the University of São Paulo and translator Ana Maria Haddad.
His last seven books, since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, have been published under the pseudonym Ben Golosovker.

Његови учитељи били су најбољи чешки педагози, а утицај на њега извршио је „учитељ и пријатељ“, приповједач свјетског гласа Бохумил Храбал, као и дисиденти против комунизма међу којима се формирао.
Објавио је 80 књига, драма и сценарија и окушао се у свим жанровима. По вокацији је романсијер (13 романа) и приповједач (15 збирки приповједака), али је објавио још десетине књига есеја, научне прозе, поезије и теоријских, односно књижевно-историјских радова. У сценском стваралаштву посвећен је театру и филму (аутор је седам дугометражних филмова).
Био је министар културе Црне Горе (1993-97) и касније амбасадор, односно високи дипломата у десет држава у којима је заступао најприје Савезну републику Југославију, затим заједничку државу Србија и Црна Гора и, најзад, родну Црну Гору. Преводи књижевна и позоришна дјела са шест страних језика. Живи у Црној Гори, и у Прагу.
Последњих година радио је на антологији Поезије Бразила 1525-2025, са 87 бразилских пјесника из свих епоха које је одабрао, превео на српски језик и написао критички апарат за ову антологију која ускоро излази на 700 страна великог формата. На португалски су преведене двије његове књиге: Писци јеврејског Прага (обимна студија на 432 стране о јеврејским писцима у Прагу као Франц Кафка, Макс Брод, Франц Верфел и други), и проза Роман о Паризу, захваљујући залагању професорице Универзитета у Сао Паулу и преводитељке Анe Маријe Хадад.

Studio osservazionale cross-sectional volto a valutare lo status della vitamina K e del suo potenziale ruolo nell'ambito delle fratture vertebrali e delle calcificazioni vascolari nel dializzato (Studio Kappa)
No full textBackground
Vitamin K, vitamin K1 or Phylloquinone (PK) and vitamin K2 or Menaquinone (MK), is involved not only in the production of coagulation proteins, but also in the production of bone and matrix Gla proteins regulating bone and vascular calcification. Studies suggest that low vitamin K concentrations are associated with increase in the risk of fractures and vascular calcification. Hemodialysis (HD) patients are at high risk of these complications. We carried out a cross-sectional study to establish the prevalence of vitamin K deficiency and to assess the relationship between vitamin K status, vertebral fractures (VF) and vascular calcification (VC) in HD patients.
Materials and Methods
Multicenter, cross-sectional study in 387 HD patients, 18 hospital based dialysis centers in Northern and Middle Italy. We assessed plasma levels Vitamin K (in High-performance liquid chromatography, HPLC), Osteocalcin o Bone GLA Protein (BGP), Matrix GLA Protein (MGP) and other routine biomarkers. We had a Healthy Control Group ( comparable for age and sex).
VF and VC assessment was centralized and double blind. We evaluated VF with a computerized analysis, of scanned L-L vertebral X-rays (D4 to L5). A reduction of > 20% of vertebral body height was considered VF. The severity of the vertebral fractures was estimated as Mild, Moderate or Severe (reduction: 20–25%, 25–40% or >40%, respectively).
We evaluated VC with Witteman’s method (Lancet, 1994). VC was quantified by measuring the length of calcific deposits along the wall of the Abdominal Aorta (Mild 0.1-5 cm, Moderate 5.1-10 cm and Severe 10 cm). We also evaluated the presence or absence of calcifications of the Iliac Arteries in the same radiograph.
Any differences were resolved by consensus.
Results
Important proportions of patients had deficiency of vitamin K.
We found High prevalence VF and VC.
Conclusions
This multicenter study, based on a significant dialysis population in the North and Middle Italy shows a relevant Vitamin K deficiency related to clinical important complications such as VF and VC. We believe that in dialysis patients an adequate intake of vitamin K should be recommended together to the Calcium and Vitamin D Intake in CKD patients to promote correct Bone calcification and avoiding in this way to cause harmful VC.
Additional studies should be performed to investigate the role of vitamin K in bone fractures and in vascular calcification in the general populationPremessa
La vitamina Kappa (K), intesa K1 o Fillochinone (PK) e K2 o Menachinone (MK), è coinvolta nella produzione non solo delle proteine della coagulazione ma anche nella produzione di proteine GLA dell’osso e della matrice che regolano la mineralizzazione ossea e le Calcificazioni Vascolari (CV). Studi in letteratura suggeriscono che basse concentrazioni di Vitamina K sono associate con aumentato rischio di fratture e calcificazioni vascolari. I pazienti (pz) in emodialisi (HD) sono ad alto rischio di tali complicanze. Noi abbiamo condotto uno studio osservazionale volto a valutare la Prevalenza del Deficit di Vitamina K e la associazione tra lo Status della Vitamina K, le Fratture Vertebrali (FV) e le CV nei pz in HD.
Materiali e Metodi
Studio Osservazionale Multicentrico in 387 pz in HD, 18 centri dialisi tra il nord e centro Italia. Abbiamo misurato i livelli di: vitamina K (in High-performance liquid chromatography, HPLC), Osteocalcina o Bone GLA Protein (BGP), Matrix GLA Protein (MGP) e altri biomarkers di routine. Un gruppo di soggetti sani (comparabile per età e sesso) è stato usato come controllo.
La valutazione delle FV e delle CV era centralizzata e a doppio cieco. Le FV erano valutate mediante analisi computerizzata scannerizzando la Radiografia della Colonna vertebrale in L-L (T5-L4). Era considerata FV una riduzione dell’altezza del corpo vertebrale >20%. La severità della FV era stimata in Lieve, Moderata e Severa (rispettivamente riduzione del: 20-25%, 25-40% e > 40%).
Valutammo le CV con il metodo di Witteman (Lancet,1994). La CV era misurata dalla lunghezza del deposito calcifico lungo la parete dell’Aorta Addominale (Lieve 0.1-5cm, oderato 5.1- 10cm e severa > 10cm). Valutammo anche la presenza o assenza della calcificazione delle Arterie Iliache nella medesima Radiografia.
Ogni differenza era risolta dal consensus.
Risultati
I pazienti in dialisi cronica presentavano importanti deficit di Vitamina K.
Abbiamo inoltre trovato alta prevalenza di FV e CV.
Conclusioni
Questo studio, basato su una importante casistica di pazienti in dialisi del Nord e Centro Italia dimostra che un’importante frazione di tali pazienti è carente di vitamina k e che tale stato carenziale è correlato a complicanze di estremo interesse clinico, quali le FV e le CV. Su tale base si ritiene che ai pazienti con malattia renale cronica, assieme all’intake di Calcio e Vitamina D, si dovrebbe raccomandare l’assunzione di un adeguato introito di vitamina K al fine di realizzare una corretta Calcificazione dell’osso ed evitando in questo modo di causare il danno della CV.
Studi aggiuntivi dovrebbero essere effettuati per investigarae il Ruolo della Vitamina K nelle Fratture Ossee e nelle CV anche nella popolazione general
The Grand Tour of Mercantilism: Lord Fauconberg’s Italian Mission (1669–1671)
No full textThe extraordinary mission of Lord Fauconberg to some Italian states is a pivotal moment in early modern diplomacy, and a most evocative case study of the relationship between Restoration England and Europe in the last decades of the seventeenth century. This essay will provide a close analysis of the mission and its protagonists, aiming at a re-evaluation of English diplomacy through cross-referencing English and Italian documentary evidence, but with a special attention to the Italian side of the story. By analysing how the Republic of Venice and the Grand Duchy of Tuscany – the major Italian trade partners of England –– perceived and interpreted English trade policy, it provides an original analysis of Caroline diplomacy and trade in the early Restoration era
A Transição do Cálculo para a Análise: uma resenha de três trabalhos de Márcia Maria Fusaro Pinto
No full textApresentamos, nesta resenha, três trabalhos de Márcia Maria Fusaro Pinto1: dois capítulos de livro e um trabalho publicado em anais de eventos. Todos tratam, grosso modo, da problemática da transição do cálculo para a análise nos cursos de matemática. Para Pinto, o ensino do cálculo é fundamentalmente diferente do de análise, porque, enquanto nesse fundamentam-se os princípios axiomáticos e sistemáticos, com definições formais, naquele são enfatizados aspectos computacionais e de manipulação simbólica, visando obter uma resposta final. Essa diferença acarretaria num grande impacto na transição do cálculo para a análise.

Fichte e la Rivoluzione francese. Note intorno a un dibattito storiografico
No full textThis paper aims to investigate the connection between the French Revolution and
the origin of Fichte’s Wissenschaftslehre. In doing so, the Author reconstructs some of
the key moments in the historiographical debate on this issue. He then goes on to show
how Fichte, starting from the concrete historical event of the French Revolution, gave
shape to the “Science of Knowledge” in the form of a “system of liberty”
Particolarismo e universalismo nei "Discorsi alla nazione tedesca" di Fichte
No full textThe paper aims to show that the universalistic tone which permeates Fichte's early political texts is also present in those written after 1800, although from a different perspective. In particular, the Author focuses on the "Reden an die deutsche Nation", the text which scholars understand as the farthest from the universalist vocation of the young Fichte. Rather, in the "Addresses to the German Nation", the ultimate aim of Fichte's political philosophy consists in the emancipation of the whole human kind, although mediated by nationalistic particularism
