    Amministrazione di sostegno e consenso all’atto medico. Ruolo del medico legale

    No full text
    Nello scritto si esaminano le innovazioni, in materia di protezione delle persone prive in tutto o in parte di autonomia, introdotte nell’ordinamento dalla legge 9 gennaio 2004 n. 6 sull’amministrazione di sostegno con la quale si ribalta la logica dei tradizionali istituti dell’incapacità legale: mentre in passato il giudice partiva dalla incapacità di agire della persona per definirne i singoli atti che poteva compiere da sola, ora partendo dalla piena capacità di agire si determinano gli atti che devono essere compiuti con l’assistenza dell’amministratore. Si discutono le conseguenze che da questa normativa discendono sul ruolo del medico legale, la cui opera, in virtù delle competenze necessarie per valutare sia la peculiarità dello stato di infermità o menomazione psico-fisica individuale e di disabilità, sia le implicazione di carattere giuridico che se ne possono trarre, può favorire una scelta ponderata sia dell’istituto da adottare in favore della persona in condizioni di svantaggio fisico o psichico (non essendo stata abrogata la disciplina sull’interdizione e sull’inabilitazione), sia delle misure di protezione che devono concretamente emanarsi per tutelare il beneficiario dell’amministrazione di sostegno. Riguardo a tale ipotesi, si discutono le implicazioni della legge in materia di consenso informato all’atto medico e soluzioni interpretative suscettibili di orientare la prassi giudizial

    Through legislative decree 81/2008, the legislature reformed the role of qualified physicians as regards their activity, which views them as leaders in the protection of the health of workers exposed to occupational risks. This paper analyses the aspects of the new legislation introduced by corrective decree 106/2009, in an attempt to legally outline the role of qualified physicians and their liability, since their actions may compromise the health of workers exposed to special risks. The legislature considerably changed this professional role, by adding the new role of consultant to their traditional functions of health supervision, with a view to a necessary collaboration of the employer on matters of evaluating the risk at the company, to which workers may be exposed. It is in this new role of consultant that the regulatory provision of a penalty, ex art. 58 of the Consolidated Act, seems to fit in; it sanctions qualified physicians for violation of the obligation to collaborate, which extends to the constructive and informative function physicians are to carry out with reference to their professional sphere. Through this new regulation, the legislature has seemingly unified the two roles, i.e. advisory and operative, for purposes of liability, of which qualified physicians are the recipients and that results in criminal liability for their work as physicians and consultants for company employers

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
