No full textEl texto es la transcripción de un discurso del Tonio Borg, Doctor en Derecho, en el encuentro del Intergroup on the Welfare and Conservation of Animals (http://www.animalwelfareintergroup.eu/), que tuvo lugar en el Parlamento europeo el 18 de septiembre de 2013. En el texto, el autor destaca una lista de metas y propuestas en relación a aumentar el Bienestar Animal en la UE. El ponente destaca la necesidad de reforzar la educación, la aplicación y la reorientación del foco de atención del Bienestar Animal, para lograr un acercamiento más completo, "holístico", al mismo. Dicho acercamiento precisa ser proactivo y preventivo a la vez, más que meramente reactivo, como hasta ahora lo ha sido. El autor acentúa que este nuevo acercamiento, favorecerá el Bienestar Animal, al mismo tiempo que aumentará la competitividad de Europa en el sector agrícola y ayudará a promover la cohesión entre los países miembros de la Unión.This text is a transcription of presentation made by Dr. iur.

Slumber under divine protection: from vague pagan hopes to Christian belief
No full textThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from de Gruyter via the link in this record.This paper focusses on the most popular Christian and non-Christian images from the funerary realm in order to explore the relationship between Christian and non-Christian Roman art, and to discuss methodological issues related to modern attempts at establishing their meaninng. At a methodological level, it argues for an approach that cautions against giving primacy to texts, and that takes the images and their language seriously as a source for a better understanding of ancient thought in a range of contexts and across a range of lay people. At a thematic level, it argues that Christians and non-Christians shared key ideas about what may come after death. They hoped for peaceful rest, for delivery from the toil and pain of earthly existence, and for divine presence and protection. This state was often illustrated by sleeping figures, who constituted the single most popular narrative subject in both Christian and non-Christian funerary art
Modern slavery ::a comparative study of the definition of trafficking in persons /
No full textIn 'Modern slavery: a comparative study of the definition of trafficking in persons' Dominika Borg Jansson discusses why, despite international anti-trafficking efforts, there are so few trafficking convictions worldwide.

Making use of the concept of legal transplants, Dominika Borg Jansson compares experiences from Sweden, Poland and Russia offering insights into especially Russian legislation that are not widely available. The problems concerning the implementation of the international definition of trafficking are here divided into country-specific challenges and obstacles attributable to the original source. Jansson also addresses the effectiveness of criminalization of trafficking and offers suggestions on how future trafficking legislation might be framed
