Sobre Luigi Ferrajoli y el constitucionalismo
No full textIn this paper, the author poses several general questions on Luigi Ferrajoli’s paper. Firstly, he writes on Ferrajoli’s construction of a theory that comprehensively infers, still always in a deductive way, the scope of a complex set of primitive terms and definitions. Secondly, the author questions his way to understand and particularly to reconstruct the so-called «constitutional paradigm». Thirdly, the author writes about Ferrajoli’s approach to the concepts of «validity» and «enforcement» of rules. Fourthly, he discusses Ferrajoli’s definition of garantist constitutionalism, particularly his conception of this sort of constitutionalism as an improvement or complement to legal positivism -inasmuch as constitutionalism respects both the being of the Law and its normative or ideal (must be) dimension. Finally, he revises the objections that Ferrajoli addressed to constitutionalism (the thesis of the separation between Law and morality, the distinction between principles and rules and the criticism of the weighting) introducing new arguments.El autor plantea una serie de objeciones al texto de Luigi Ferrajoli. En primer lugar, se refiere a la construcción por parte de Ferrajoli de una teoría que infiere de un modo exhaustivo, pero siempre deductivamente, el alcance de un complejo conjunto de términos primitivos y definiciones. En segundo lugar, el autor duda sobre la forma de ver y, sobre todo, de reconstruir el llamado «paradigma constitucional». En tercer lugar, el autor objeta el tratamiento que Ferrajoli hace de los conceptos de «validez» y «vigor» de las normas. En cuarto lugar, hace referencia a la definición que Ferrajoli realiza del constitucionalismo garantista, en concreto a la consideración de éste como mejora o complemento del positivismo jurídico que se logra gracias a que el constitucionalismo observa no sólo el «ser» sino el «deber ser» del Derecho. Finalmente, repasa las críticas que Ferrajoli realiza al constitucionalismo (la tesis de la separación entre Derecho y moral, la distinción entre principios y reglas y la crítica a la ponderación), expresando sus diferencias

Prophylactic Central Neck Dissection in Clinically Node-Negative Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma: An Overview
No full textAlthough therapeutic central neck dissection is recommended for patients with differentiated thyroid cancer with cervical lymph node metastasis, the effectiveness of prophylactic central neck dissection following total thyroidectomy in patients with clinical node-negative differentiated thyroid cancer remains controversial. There are many arguments in favor and many against the execution of prophylactic central neck dissection.
The authors review the most recent literature and illustrate the latest published guidelines, focusing on the currently hottest and most debated points.
Authors conclude that there is still no consensus on the role of prophylactic central neck dissection in clinically node-negative differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Prophylactic central neck dissection is associated with higher rates of hypoparathyroidism and recurrent laryngeal nerve injury with uncertain benefits. So, in the absence of involved lymph nodes, prophylactic central neck dissection should be avoided, reserving it to high-risk patients with advanced primary tumors; prophylactic central neck dissection should be performed by high-volume surgeons to avoid definitive complications
Luigi Pirandello: In Search of an Author
No full textIn 1925 Luigi Pirandello brought his troupe to England as part of a worldwide tour. This classic program re-creates one day in London as "The Einstein of the Theater" watches his plays and, away from the footlights, confronts the paradoxical nature of his life. Portions of Six Characters in Search of an Author; Henry IV; Right You Are, If You Think You Are; and The Rules of the Game are meticulously staged, using actors' accounts, period descriptions, and Pirandello's own comments. Plus, biographical notes written by Pirandello himself provide a new angle on the inner torment that animates his work, while playwright Julian Mitchell and novelist Leonardo Sciascia critically analyze the action as it unfolds.

Organizing Chamber Music as Culture
No full textIn this paper Luigi Maria Sicca suggests on the one hand that organization theory offers an interpretation of the reality of arts producing organizations and on the other that the empirical analysis of these realities can supply new input for organization theory. As a practical example of artistic production the Author refers to an international chamber music festival. Close inspection of chamber music will reveal characteristics that apply to any type of organization. Sicca begins by looking at the nature of arts management and the arts manager. L.M.Sicca goes on to analyse the characteristics of the production process in the performing arts, which can be seen as communication taking place on three levels: between audience and performers (concept of “prosumer”); within the performing group (“listening ability”); between the author of the written text and the performer/interpreter (“concept of value”). Luigi Maria Sicca finishes by showing how in a symbolic-cultural framework the features identified in the paper can feed back into organization studies
Smooth Muscle Antibodies
No full textSerum smooth muscle antibodies (SMA) react with different components of the cytoskeletal network (actin, tubulin, vimentin, desmin, cytokeratins). Their presence characterizes both autoimmune (autoimmune hepatitis, coeliac disease) and viral diseases (chronic hepatitis C, infectious mononucleosis).
When detected at titers higher than 1:80, they are considered a sensitive marker for type 1 autoimmune hepatitis (AIH-1), being found in up to 80% of cases

Paradoxes of Happiness in Economics
No full textSince the Industrial Revolution of the eighteenth century, the Western economies have experienced unprecedented and persistent growth of national income. But empirical surveys that have been carried out consistently reveal that people have not become happier at the same rate. The connections between national income and happiness have become weaker and weaker over time. The author suggests that the Classical approach to economics can offer a wider theoretical framework for the investigation of many topics concerning human behavior and thus also of happiness
