Brevi note sulla genesi dell’art. 138 della Costituzione italiana
No full textIl contributo si sofferma sulle principali questioni affrontate in seno all’Assemblea costituente con riferimento alla rigidità costituzionale ed al procedimento di revisione della Costituzione italiana, al fine di ricostruire il percorso genetico dell’art. 138 Cost.
Dopo una sintetica analisi delle principali posizioni emerse nel dibattito e delle relative proposte di formulazione del testo, accomunate dalla volontà di irrigidire la Costituzione repubblicana, l’indagine affronta due profili di particolare rilievo.
Il primo concerne la scelta degli aspetti procedimentali in grado di conciliare le esigenze di stabilità e continuità dell’architettura costituzionale, da un lato, e quelle di rinnovamento eventualmente sopravvenute, dall’altro, per consentire all’ordinamento costituzionale di corrispondere ragionevolmente al divenire sociale, evitando una rigidità assoluta e paralizzante. Da questa prospettiva, si analizzano le diverse soluzioni di “aggravio” dell’iter di revisione costituzionale prospettate nei lavori dell’Assemblea costituente, evidenziandone le specifiche criticità anche alla luce della successiva attuazione dell’art. 138 Cost.
Il secondo profilo di riflessione riguarda invece la natura del referendum costituzionale nel procedimento di revisione, nell’ambito del più ampio dibattito sull’innesto di strumenti di democrazia diretta all’interno di modelli ordinamentali ispirati alla democrazia rappresentativa. Tale aspetto consente di svolgere alcune considerazioni sulla “duttilità” del referendum costituzionale alla luce della concreta esperienza attuativa (avviata solo nel 2001).
Il lavoro dedica infine attenzione alla distinzione tra leggi di revisione e altre leggi costituzionali contenuta nel primo comma dell’art. 138 Cost., interrogandosi sul significato di tale distinzione nel complessivo sistema delle fonti e sulle diverse ricostruzioni emerse a tale riguardo nel dibattito dottrinale.The paper analyses the main issues that were tackled by the Constituent Assembly while devising article 138 of the Italian Constitution, which regulates the constitutional amendment process.
After a brief analysis of the different positions that emerged during the debate, all united by a desire to “reinforce” the Constitution (i.e., to make it rigid), two important issues are examined.
The first one regards the search for an amendment procedure that could reconcile the existing need for stability and continuity of the constitutional architecture, on the one hand, and the desire for renewal that could arise, on the other, in order to create a constitutional system that would be capable of matching social change. The various solutions for “reinforcing” constitutional amendment procedures that were considered by the Assembly are examined, along with their sets of problems, specifically in light of the subsequent implementation of article 138.
The second one concerns the nature and the distinct meaning of the constitutional referendum as part of the constitutional amendment process, in the context of a broader debate on introducing direct democracy tools within legal systems based on representative democracy. Observations are made on the “flexibility” of the constitutional referendum, especially in view of its implementation (which only started in 2001).
Lastly, the paper focuses on the distinction between “laws amending the Constitution” and “other constitutional laws”, which is made in the first paragraph of article 138, investigating the meaning of said distinction in the system of sources and the different views on the topic that have emerged in the doctrinal debate
Introducing “La fabrique du droit”. A Conversation with Bruno Latour
No full textBruno Latour talks with Paolo Landri about his book on the Conseil d'Etat (La Fabrique du droit). The conversation was held in 2006 at the time of the Italian translation of the book and illustrates the research project and the difficulties the author had in the field. At the same time, it clarifies the trajectories of Bruno Latour's work and theoretical framework of his program of study with respect to sociology, anthropology, and philosophy of law. The conversation helps to understand the open-ended character of Bruno Latour's research and reflection including STS as well as sociological, anthropological and philosophical themes
Active feedback cooling of a SiN membrane resonator by electrostatic actuation
No full textFeedback-based control techniques are useful tools in precision measurements as they allow us to actively shape the mechanical response of high quality factor oscillators used in force detection measurements. In this paper, we implement a feedback technique on a high-stress low-loss SiN membrane resonator, exploiting the charges trapped on the dielectric membrane. A properly delayed feedback force (dissipative feedback) enables the narrowing of the thermomechanical displacement variance in a similar manner to the cooling of the normal mechanical mode down to an effective temperature Teff. In the experiment reported here, we started from room temperature and gradually increasing the feedback gain, we were able to cool down the first normal mode of the resonator to a minimum temperature of about 124mK. This limit is imposed by our experimental setup and, in particular, by the injection of the read-out noise into the feedback. We discuss the implementation details and possible improvements to the technique.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Electronic Components, Technology and MaterialsEKL Equipmen
Low Noise Opto-Electro-Mechanical Modulator for RF-to-Optical Transduction in Quantum Communications
No full textIn this work, we present an Opto-Electro-Mechanical Modulator (OEMM) for
RF-to-optical transduction realized via an ultra-coherent nanomembrane
resonator capacitively coupled to an rf injection circuit made of a
microfabricated read-out able to improve the electro-optomechanical
interaction. This device configuration can be embedded in a Fabry-Perot cavity
for electromagnetic cooling of the LC circuit in a dilution refrigerator
exploiting the opto-electro-mechanical interaction. To this aim, an optically
measured steady-state frequency shift of 380 Hz was seen with a polarization
voltage of 30 V and a -factor of the assembled device above at room
temperature. The rf-sputtered titanium nitride layer can be made
superconductive to develop efficient quantum~transducers.Comment: 14 pages, 8 figure

On Bruno Schulz’s Bookplates
No full textThe Polish version of the article was published in Roczniki Humanistyczne vol. 64, issue 1 (2016).
The article enters into a dialogue with the interpretation of Bruno Schulz’s bookplates made by Władysław Panas in his book Bruno od Mesjasza (Bruno of the Messiah) (Lublin 2001). An attempt to understand them in a different (less holistic) way leads the author of the article to the conclusion that in Schulz’s plates the first veiled variant of the mythical Book may be seen—of the fundamental motif of Bruno Schulz’s later literary work
Jordan "Bruno" Gegenhuber '16 Publishes First-Author Research
No full textJordan "Bruno" Gegenhuber '16 had first-author research, "Gene regulation by gonadal hormone receptors underlies brain sex differences," published in nature magazine on May 4, 2022.Jordan "Bruno" Gegenhuber '16 had first-author research, "Gene regulation by gonadal hormone receptors underlies brain sex differences," published in Nature magazine on May 4, 2022.
Sex hormones play a central role in shaping behavior throughout the animal kingdom, and this study maps where the receptor for estrogen binds to DNA in neurons that regulate rodent social interactions. The findings reveal that estrogen establishes lasting sex differences in gene expression and neuroanatomy during brain development, and identifies hundreds of genes that may mediate estrogen's effects on behavior and disease.
Gegenhuber earned a PhD from the Cold Springs Harbor Laboratory School of Biological Sciences in Long Island, N.Y.. in May 2022. His field of research is in neuroscience, and he has accepted a postdoctoral research position at Harvard Medical Center in Boston, Mass. He also holds the honor of being the Pacific Class of 2016 Valedictorian
Analyses of single- and two-phase flow pressure drops in helical pipes using a modified RELAP5 code
No full textThermal fluid dynamics analyses on single- and two-phase flows in helical pipes of steam generators to be used in Generation III and IV nuclear reactors have been performed. The study concerned with experimental activities as well code simulations carried out in the framework of a collaboration between the Department of Energetics of the Polytechnic of Torino and the Department of Energy of the University of Palermo. The goal was the validation of models implemented in Relap5/Mod3.2β thermal-hydraulic advanced code to simulate the hydrodynamic behaviour of helical pipe components in spite of the one-dimensional nature of the code. It is shown that much of the experimental data obtained at several national and international research laboratories are well predicted by this modified RELAP5 code for the examined helical pipe geometrie
