Online Gambling: Today’s Possibilities and Tomorrow’s Opportunities
No full textWith the development of new information and communication technologies (ICT), above all computers and the internet, new forms of online commerce have emerged. The gambling industry began using the power of the rapidly developing virtual market by offering its services in online casinos. The phenomenon of online gambling has encouraged researchers to direct their work into various areas, including the characteristics or profile of online gamblers. In light of the data on the growth of the market for online gambling it is evident that, in the relation between the many types of traditional and online gambling, visits to traditional casinos predominate, as do predictions about the development of the internet. We therefore decided to examine the characteristics of gamblers in traditional casinos and to determine what percentage of them also gamble online, as well as to establish their profile. The aim of the research was to determine how their characteristics in respect of the development of the internet and the growth of the market have influenced the subsequent development of traditional and internet casinos. We predict that both types of gambling, each in its own way, will compete for gamblers. For traditional casinos the best solution seems to be opening their own online casinos; online casinos will have to remain abreast of the development of the internet and communication technology.online gambling, online casino, online gambling product
Funzione della pena e terzietà del giudice nel confronto fra teoria e prassi: atti della giornata di studio: Trento, 22 giugno 2000
No full textIl Quaderno raccoglie le relazioni, gli interventi e la discussione ospitati dal Dipartimento di Scienze Giuridiche e dalla Facoltà di Giurisprudenza dell’Università di Trento in occasione della Giornata di studio intitolata “Terzietà e verità. Recenti posizioni su processo e pena” (Trento, 22 giugno 2000). Benché la pubblicazione degli atti compaia in ritardo rispetto allo svolgimento effettivo del Convegno, la sua attualità non affatto venuta meno. Lo testimoniano le vicende della riforma sulla giustizia in Italia, per non piccola parte concentrate anche sulla funzione propria dei magistrati e sulla distinzione/separazione fra i ruoli dell’accusa e del giudizio nel processo penale.

No full textThe Influence of Outsourcing and Information and Communication Technology on Virtualization of the Company
No full textIn the article we investigate the field of virtual organizations, which in the definition of many authors consists of two components: outsourcing and information and communication technology. In the study we have tried to determine which of the two, in the opinion of employees working in the area of Slovene tourism, contributes to a greater degree to virtualization of the company. We determine that outsourcing influences the virtualization of the company more strongly than does information and communication technology, since it enables the company to acquire new knowledge and know-how and increase its competitiveness in the marketplace.virtual organization, outsourcing, information and communication technology

No full textSummary. Precore mutants of hepatitis B virus (HBV) were looked for in 18 hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) carriers who were treated with recombinant interferon‐a (rIFN) and the results were compared with those obtained in 12 untreated carriers who underwent spontaneous HBeAb seroconversion. Molecular analysis of the HBV precore region was carried out by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and direct sequencing. Precore mutants with a stop codon at codon 28 were detectable at baseline in 19/30 carriers. However, wild‐type strains predominated in the baseline sera of both treated (n= 16) and untreated (n= 10) patients. Sera from the remaining four patients contained predominantly or exclusively mutant virions. Following IFN treatment, there was a shift from the wild‐type pattern to the mutant pattern in all patients, with the precore pattern prevailing in long‐term responders (six out of nine) compared with the non‐responders (none of nine). The wild‐type pattern predominated among the non‐responders (eight vs three), suggesting that the long‐term response to IFN was associated with take‐over of precore mutants. There were no relationships between any pre‐treatment precore molecular pattern and disease severity or outcome of treatment. Precore mutants also took over in 10 of the 12 untreated patients (83%), who underwent spontaneous HBeAb seroconversion. Thus, a shift from wild‐type to precore mutant pattern occurs in most Italian patients undergoing IFN‐induced or spontaneous HBeAb seroconversion. Copyright © 1995, Wiley Blackwell.
