Il delitto di “costrizione o induzione al matrimonio” ex art. 558-bis cp: alcune riflessioni critiche
Get PDFIl fenomeno dei matrimoni forzati è stato specificamente incriminato dal legislatore italiano solo di recente, con l’introduzione del delitto di costrizione o induzione al matrimonio (art. 558-bis c.p.). L’infelice collocazione sistematica della fattispecie, la ristretta tipizzazione degli eventi incriminati, la stessa complessità del fenomeno inducono l’autore ad analizzare il delitto anzitutto in chiave comparata e sovranazionale, quale reato culturalmente motivato a vocazione transnazionale. In questa più ampia prospettiva, si delineano talune criticità di ordine sistematico, interpretativo e applicativo che potrebbero inficiare l’effettività della tutela approntata. Il lavoro, dunque, individua alcune soluzioni de lege ferenda che potrebbero contribuire ad una più pronta ed efficace tutela repressiva. Si prospettano, infine, alcuni accorgimenti anche sul piano della tutela preventiva, stante la totale assenza, nell’intervento legislativo in esame, di strategie di sensibilizzazione e prevenzione
A ST X-NUCLEO-BASED TELEMETRY UNIT FOR DETECTION AND WiFi TRANSMISSION OF COMPETITION CAR SENSORS DATA: FIRMWARE DEVELOPMENT, SENSORS TESTING AND REAL-TIME DATA ANALYSIS
Get PDFTelemetry is a technology that allows remote measurement and transmission of moving car information, allowing to collect a huge amount of data that are interpreted to ensure that car is performing at its optimum. In this research work, by using electronic modules and sensors available at very low costs, a reliable and accurate telemetry system was realized in order to monitor physical and mechanical parameters of a racing vehicle during its motion. Implemented data acquisition and wireless communication unit allows to collect, on board of vehicle, the temperature of engine compartment and cooling liquid, suspensions’ extensions, vehicle speed and also its orientation and acceleration and to send wirelessly all these data to a base station, where are monitored by technical staff, so ensuring quick intervention in case of malfunctioning. STM32 Nucleo development board, heart of realized telemetry system, properly programmed with the developed firmware, acquires data from used sensors and, through a WiFi radio module, sends them to the base station; the data are also stored on a SD memory card to avoid data losses. Sparkfun CAN module is employed for this aim and to interface the engine control unit with ST Nucleo board. Experimental tests were carried out for verifying correct operation of realized system; by analyzing trends over time of monitored vehicle parameters as function of the vehicle movements, driving conditions and race track, the technicians ensure safety of pilot life and also an optimization of the vehicle performances
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Design and Testing of a Control System Based on STM X-Nucleo Development Boards for Detection and Wireless Transmission of Sensors Data Applied to a Single-Seat Formula SAE Car
Get PDFThe emerged potentials and opportunities in the electronics field are becoming greatly appreciated in a highly competitive environment such that of the mechanic/engine field. In fact, the electronic system integrated in a vehicle is playing an increasingly fundamental role, especially in the competition/races sector, such that related to the “Formula SAE” (Society of Automotive Engineers), a competition in which participating teams (eg the Salento Racing Team) compete in the design, construction and testing of prototype single-seater cars (Fig. 1(a)). In this research work, an electronic system able to monitor in real time and constantly principal parameters characterizing the moving vehicle and to transmit wirelessly the acquired data was realized [1, 2]. Different sensors, mounted on vehicle, exchange data with the data acquisition and wireless communication control unit (Fig. 1(b)): linear potentiometers in order to monitor the suspensions behavior, temperature transducers located inside the engine compartment, gyroscope/accelerometer for detecting the accelerations and the inclination angles in space (i.e. pitch, roll and yaw), one NTC thermistor for acquiring the cooling liquid temperature and Hall effect sensors for monitoring the vehicle speed and any slippage of the wheels [3]. Besides, the realized data acquisition board, shown in Figs 2a and 2b, is composed of a conditioning board, for adjusting the voltage value of signals provided by sensors in accordance to voltage values required by the STM-32 Nucleo F411RE development board, which processes received data and, by means of the DORJI DRF1278F WiFi radio module, sends them to the base station (Fig. 2c) [4]. A further component is the SPARKFUN CAN-BUS shield module employed for data storage on SD memory card and for establishing the communication between the STM board and the engine control unit which receives signals from Hall sensors and from the NTC thermistor. The developed firmware (flow chart shown in Fig. 3), installed on STM32F411RET6 microcontroller embedded on STM board, allows the reading of signals provided by sensors, the SPARKFUN CAN module management and wireless transmission data through DORJI WiFi module. In Fig. 4, graphs relative to the sent data to the base station, concerning the vehicle speed, suspensions behavior and cooling liquid temperature monitoring, are shown. As reported in the graphs, data are correctly received by the base station and they show accordance between themselves, confirming, in this way, the proper functioning of the developed data acquisition and wireless transmission systems
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
