    The Law of Cosmetics: Regulation, Responsibility, Bioethics

    On January 28, 2014, in the University of Rome III, a conference took place over two sessions on the Law and Cosmetics, focusing on Regulations, Responsibilities and Bioethics. As one of the speakers at the conference, Professor Francesca Rescigno of the University of Bologna has created the following chronicle of the conference (text in Italian). Cosmetics are an important industry which has seen no decline in recent years. But what is most interesting for readers here is how the author highlights that one of the EU prohibition on animal testing for cosmetics shows that ¨…Europe has demonstrated…that the time is now ripe for the recognition of animal subjectivity¨, a step which would lead away from the previous classification of animals as res (things) at the disposal of humans.El 28 de enero de 2014, se celebró en Roma (Università degli Studi Roma III) un congreso en dos sesiones, acerca del Derecho de los Cosméticos, centrado en los aspectos de regulación, responsabilidad y Bioética. La Profa. Rescigno participó en el mismo como ponente y publicamos la crónica detallada que ha escrito sobre el evento (texto en italiano). La industria cosmética reviste una gran importancia y no ha experimentado ningún retroceso en los últimos años. Lo más interesante para los lectores, es apreciar cómo la autora subraya que de la prohibición de la experimentación animal en la industria cosmética, recientemente aprobada por la UE, se extrae “…que Europa ha demostrado… que ahora es el momento oportuno para el reconocimiento de la subjetividad de los animales”, un paso que permitiría superar la anterior clasificación de los animales como res (cosas) a disposición de los seres humanosOn January 28, 2014, in the University of Rome III, a conference took place over two sessions on the Law and Cosmetics, focusing on Regulations, Responsibilities and Bioethics.

    “Le promesse unilaterali e la regola di tassatività” è un contributo che fa parte del Trattato di Diritto civile diretto da Nicola Lipari e Pietro Rescigno. L’autore, nel ricostruire i più recenti interventi di dottrina e giurisprudenza, sviluppa i seguenti temi: la promessa, sua efficacia, promessa di pagamento, promessa al pubblico, revoca. “Unilateral promises” is a part of the Treaty of civil law directed by a Nicola Lipari and Pietro Rescigno. The Author, referring to the most recent statements of doctrine and case-law, focuses on the following topics: the promise, its effectiveness, promise of payment, promise to the public, revocation

    The Gut Immune Barrier and the Blood-Brain Barrier: Are They So Different?

    In order to protect itself from a diverse set of environmental pathogens and toxins, the body has developed a number of barrier mechanisms to limit the entry of potential hazards. Here, we compare two such barriers: the gut immune barrier, which is the primary barrier against pathogens and toxins ingested in food, and the blood-brain barrier, which protects the central nervous system from pathogens and toxins in the blood. Although each barrier provides defense in very different environments, there are many similarities in their mechanisms of action. In both cases, there is a physical barrier formed by a cellular layer that tightly regulates the movement of ions, molecules, and cells between two tissue spaces. These barrier cells interact with different cell types, which dynamically regulate their function, and with a different array of immune cells that survey the physical barrier and provide innate and adaptive immunity

    (t, r)-Broadcast Domination in Networks

    No full text
    We study a recently introduced generalization of distance domination in graphs known as (t, r)Broadcast Domination: A set S of broadcasting vertices transmit a signal of initial strength t; the strength of the signal decays linearly along edges according to distance, that is, a vertex at a distance d < t from a broadcasting vertex u ∈ S receives a signal of strength t − d, for each u ∈ S. The goal is to determine a set S of broadcasting vertices of minimum size, which ensures that every vertex in the network receives a cumulative signal strength of at least r. In this paper, we initiate the study of the (t, r)-Broadcast Domination problem in general graphs. Our results include a general approximation algorithm and optimal polynomial time algorithms for cographs. Moreover, we consider graphs of bounded Neighborhood diversity (nd), and graphs of bounded Iterated type partition number (itp) and give: (i) a fixed parameter tractable (FPT) algorithm for (t, r)Broadcast Domination parameterized by nd; (ii) a FPT algorithm for (t, r)-Broadcast Domination parameterized by itp plus the solution size B = |S|; (iii) a FPT algorithm for (t, r)-Broadcast Domination parameterized by itp plus the demand r
