Art. 57 c.p.a. Spese del procedimento cautelare
No full textLo scritto rappresenta il commento delle previsioni dell’art. 57 c.p.a. dedicato alle spese del procedimento cautelare. La disciplina vigente costituisce il risultato di un’evoluzione che rinviene il proprio fulcro nelle modifiche recate dall’art. 3 della l. 205/2000 all’art. 21 della l. Tar. Prima di allora, l’orientamento prevalente, facendo leva sull’inerenza procedimentale e funzionale della cautela al merito, nonché sull’opportunità di riferire la soccombenza alla definizione di un giudizio a cognizione non sommaria, aveva escluso il dovere di liquidazione rispetto a una fase processuale a carattere incidentale. Una simile chiave di lettura, in linea con le previsioni dell’art. 68, comma 1, r.d. 642/1907 (“la decisione contiene la condanna delle parti soccombenti alle spese”) e dell’art. 26, comma 4, l. Tar (“in ogni caso, la sentenza provvede sulle spese del giudizio”), era stata talvolta superata in base al disposto dell’art. 91 c.p.c. attraverso la valorizzazione della portata decisoria delle ordinanze cautelari da cui si è pure fatta discendere la loro appellabilità. Solo dopo l’entrata in vigore delle nuove previsioni dell’art. 21, comma 11, della l. Tar si assiste alla generalizzazione del potere del giudice amministrativo di provvedere “in via provvisoria” sulle spese del procedimento cautelare “con l’ordinanza che rigetta la domanda cautelare o l’appello contro un’ordinanza cautelare ovvero li dichiara inammissibili o irricevibili”. Profili di criticità a parte (connessi all’esplicito riferimento al rigetto della domanda cautelare, che non sembrava tenere in debita considerazione la parità processuale delle parti), in tal modo, il legislatore ha voluto probabilmente reagire alla prassi delle sospensive richieste al mero scopo di ottenere una fissazione dell’udienza di discussione a breve, pur in assenza dei presupposti per il loro accoglimento. Il c.p.a. supera dette criticità; inoltre, la previsione secondo cui “la pronuncia sulle spese conserva efficacia anche dopo il provvedimento che definisce il giudizio, salvo diversa statuizione espressa nella sentenza di merito” consente di mettere a fuoco centralità e margini di autonomia del giudizio cautelare nel nuovo sistema di giustizia amministrativa, in una prospettiva tesa ad assicurare una tutela piena ed effettiva secondo i principi della Costituzione e del diritto europeo
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
La rigenerazione urbana tra diritto alla città e dimensioni della sostenibilità
No full textIl tema della rigenerazione urbana è da tempo al centro della riflessione della scienza urbanistica, sociale, economica e giuridica. Il concetto polisemico di “rigenerazione” costituisce espressione del carattere multidimensionale della sostenibilità e si colloca al crocevia tra diritto alla città e urbanistica di nuova generazione, secondo un approccio basato sulla consapevolezza che il degrado sociale riflette quello urbano ed in un quadro, più generale, di ripresa e resilienza. In tale scenario, questo scritto si occupa della rigenerazione come risposta alla crisi della città, come alternativa strategica al consumo di suolo naturale e come strumento di resilienza, valorizzando il ruolo delle comunità e il carattere integrato delle azioni di rigenerazione nell’ottica di un ripensamento dei contesti urbani come luoghi di ristrutturazione delle relazioni sociali, economiche e politiche
Pragmatic Case Studies as a Source of Unity in Applied Psychology
No full textTo unify or not to unify applied psychology: that is the question. In this article we review pendulum swings in the historical efforts to answer this question—from a comprehensive, positivist, “top-down,” deductive yes between the 1930s and the early 60s, to a postmodern no since then. A rationale and proposal for a limited, “bottom-up,” inductive yes in applied psychology is then presented, employing a case-based paradigm that integrates both positivist and postmodern themes and components. This paradigm is labeled “pragmatic psychology” and, its specific use of case studies, the “Pragmatic Case Study Method” (“PCS Method”). We call for the creation of peer-reviewed journal-databases of pragmatic case studies as a foundational source of unifying applied knowledge in our discipline. As one example, the potential of the PCS Method for unifying different angles of theoretical regard is illustrated in an area of applied psychology, psychotherapy, via the case of Mrs. B. The article then turns to the broader historical and epistemological arguments for the unifying nature of the PCS Method in both applied and basic psychology.Peer reviewe
Reduced FMR1 mRNA translation efficiency in fragile X patients with premutations
No full textThe Fragile X mental retardation ′gene (FMR1) contains a polymorphic trinucleotide CGG repeat in the 5 untranslated region (UTR) of the FMR1 messenger. We have characterized three lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from unrelated male carriers of a premutation that overexpress FMR1 mRNA and show reduced FMRP level compared to normal cells. The analysis of polysomes/mRNPs distribution of mRNA in the cell lines with a premutation shows that the polysomal association of FMR1 mRNA, which is high in normal cells, becomes progressively lower with increasing CGG repeat expansion. In addition, we could detect a very low level of FMR1 mRNA in a lymphoblastoid cell line from a patient with a full mutation. In this case, FMR1 mRNA is not at all associated with polysomes, in agreement with the complete absence of FMRP. The impairment of FMR1 mRNA translation in patients with the Fragile X syndrome with FMR1 premutation is the cause of the lower FMRP levels that leads to the clinical involvement

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
The Fragile X syndrome protein FMRP associates with BC1 RNA and regulates the translation of specific mRNAs at synapses
No full textThe Fragile X syndrome, which results from the absence of functional FMRP protein, is the most common heritable form of mental retardation. Here, we show that FMRP acts as a translational repressor of specific mRNAs at synapses. Interestingly, FMRP associates not only with these target mRNAs, but also with the dendritic, non-translatable RNA BC1. Blocking of BC1 inhibits the interaction of FMRP with its target mRNAs. Furthermore, BC1 binds directly to FMRP and can also associate, in the absence of any protein, with the mRNAs regulated by FMRP. This suggests a mechanism where BC1 could determine the specificity of FMRP function by linking the regulated mRNAs and FMRP. Thus, when FMRP is not present, loss of translational repression of specific mRNAs at synapses could result in synaptic dysfunction phenotype of Fragile X patients
DNA fingerprinting improves data collection efficiency and yield in a host-specificity test of a weed biological control candidate.
No full textAn open-field test was conducted in southern France to assess the host-specificity of Ceratapion basicorne (Illiger), acandidate for biological control of yellow starthistle. Test plants were infested by naturally occurring populations ofC. basicorne but were also exposed to sympatric herbivore species, including other Ceratapion spp. Insects from thetest plants were collected directly into tubes of ethanol and were subsequently identified to species according toDNA sequence similarity with morphologically identified reference specimens. This integrated, morphological andmolecular identification method was used in an effort to maximize the amount of data gained in the field bioassayand to minimize the number of taxonomist–hours necessary to complete the study. The results obtained showed thatthe French C. basicorne population only attacked yellow starthistle and cornflower, another known host of C.basicorne . Molecular phylogenetic analysis of the insects collected from all other nonhost plants rejected thepossibility that any were C. basicorne
