Fluvial dynamics and watermills location in Basilicata (Southern Italy)

Watermills (grain mills, waulk mills, olive mills, sawmills and threshing machines) operated in the Basilicata Region from the Roman Period until the early decades of the twentieth century, representing an important feature of waterways that is today almost totally forgotten. Using documentary sources, ancient maps and field survey it is possible to catalogue and identify the location of these ancient hydraulic structures. Watermills were usually placed far enough away from the river to avoid inundation during floods, and near natural knickpoints or artificial steps in the river long profile that were created by mill engineers. Mill construction often had significant impacts on a rivers morphology, because it was necessary to divert the river discharge towards the mill wheel, to drive the grain-grinding mechanism. Watermill typological variations have been examined in relation to variations in river pattern to assess the ways in which the hydrographic and hydrological settings of the Basilicata Region have affected mill siting and operation. Most Basilicata watermills were built with a horizontal water-wheel and a tower. The characteristics of the tower and the associated hydraulic structures varied according to the environmental setting. Finally, mill positions define also the locations on the river system that have already been used to exploit hydraulic power and thus could be useful for future use in the micro-hydroelectric secto

O papel da Língua de Sinais Italiana (LIS) no sistema educacional italiano

Italian Sign Language (LIS) education is going through a profound transformation in Italy. Since its recognition, in 2021, as the natural language of the Deaf minority, and the definition of LIS interpreters as the designated professionals to mediate communication needs involving signers in all public settings, the debate has increased in the attempt to determine the content and purpose(s) of the interpreters' training (in Higher Education?) courses. While formal education in sign language (SL) is becoming increasingly important for interpreters' training, and universities are opening experimental courses for them, the linguistic education of deaf children and the vocational training of Deaf adults as SL teachers are gaining new attention. In light of these changes, I discuss the state of the art of general education for the deaf in Italy, glancing at the steps that led to LIS recognition, and the training of bimodal bilingual (deaf) children in public education. Past choices influence the present. The topic will be covered from a historical and interdisciplinary perspective, following the evolution in the social as well as political decisions that influenced deaf education.O ensino da Língua de Sinais Italiana (LIS) está passando por uma profunda transformação na Itália. Desde o seu reconhecimento em 2021, como a língua natural da minoria surda, juntamente com o dos intérpretes de LIS como profissionais designados para mediar suas necessidades de comunicação em todos os ambientes públicos, o debate aumentou na tentativa de determinar o conteúdo e o(s) objetivo(s) dos cursos de formação de intérpretes (no ensino superior?). Enquanto a educação formal em língua de sinais (LS) esteja se tornando cada vez mais importante para o treinamento de intérpretes, e as universidades estão abrindo cursos experimentais para isso, a educação linguística de crianças surdas e o treinamento vocacional de adultos surdos como professores de LS estão ganhando nova atenção. À luz dessas mudanças, discuto o estado da arte da educação geral para surdos na Itália, observando as etapas levaram ao reconhecimento da LIS e ao treinamento de crianças bilíngues (surdas) bimodais na educação pública. O tópico será abordado a partir de uma perspectiva histórica e interdisciplinar, acompanhando a evolução das decisões sociais e políticas que influenciaram a educação de surdos

MAGE Proteins and the Regulation of E2F Pathway

Melanoma Antigens Genes (MAGE) constitutes a mutagenic family divided in two subfamilies, MAGE-I and MAGE-II, according to its tissue pattern expression. While MAGE-I in adult humans are only expressed in testis and tumors tissues, those belonging to MAGE-II subfamily are ubiquitously expressed. During the last decade, functional characterization of MAGE proteins points to a role in transcription regulation. E2F1 is a member of the E2F family and is among the transcription factors reported to be modulated by MAGE proteins. In this article we will focus on reported cases of E2F1 modulation by members of MAGE-I and MAGE-II subfamilies and the resulting biological consequences observed in normal and tumor cells.Fil: Ladelfa, Maria Fatima.

Análisis de los procedimientos de control interno en la sección de almacenamiento y suministro (SAA) en los municipios de la región de Tras-os-Montes y Alto Douro (Portugal).

Como el control interno es una de las piezas clave para la gestión eficiente, eficaz y transparente de los bienes públicos, tenemos la intención de analizar los procedimientos de control interno adoptados en la sección de almacenamiento y suministro en los municipios de Trás-os-Montes y Alto Douro. En este sentido, se estudió una muestra de 10 ayuntamientos de los distritos de Vila Real y Bragança, preguntándole a los dirigentes de la sección a través de una encuesta, de febrero a marzo de 2011. Se encontraron diferencias significativas en las dimensiones relativas a los documentos/información de requisición y los procedimientos relativos a la devolución de hoja de pedido. Por lo tanto, hemos identificado la necesidad de mejorar la aplicación de procedimientos de control interno en varias dimensiones, excepto en los procedimientos de compromiso, el cambio de las condiciones concertadas en la hoja de pedido y en los procedimientos del almacenamiento, posibilitando de esa forma el cumplimiento de las normas de la contabilidad pública resultadas del POCAL (Decreto-Ley n.º 54-A/99, 22 de febrero)

The common EU approach to personal data and cybersecurity regulation

Several sector-specific studies on EU data protection and cybersecurity frameworks can be found in the literature, but their differing legal domains has hindered the development of a common analysis of the different sets of provisions from a business perspective. This article sets out to bridge this gap, providing a systematic review and a cross-cutting operational analysis of the main legal instruments that constitute the common European approach to personal data and cybersecurity regulation for the business sector. We aim to demonstrate the existence of a core of common principles and procedural approaches referring to specific cybersecurity and data security technologies. Analysis reveals a coordinated regulatory model based on five pillars: risk-based approach, by-design approach, reporting obligations, resilience and certification schemes. We also highlight the relationship between the main directives and regulations

Disputas sobre la regulación jurídica del aborto en Argentina. La abogacía feminista frente a resistencias conservadoras en el proceso judicial T.S. (2000): ecografía, visualización fetal y producción del discurso jurídico (Feminist disputes over...)

Desde un enfoque socio-jur&iacute;dico feminista, en este trabajo de investigaci&oacute;n indago en el proceso judicial T.S. asumiendo que constituye un sitio institucionalizado de disputas sobre la configuraci&oacute;n discursiva del aborto. T.S. involucr&oacute; a Silvia, una mujer con un diagn&oacute;stico de embarazo de un feto anencef&aacute;lico quien, ante la negativa de los profesionales m&eacute;dicos a realizarle la interrupci&oacute;n del embarazo en el sistema de salud y la solicitud de una orden judicial, inici&oacute; un proceso judicial de amparo en los tribunales de la ciudad de Buenos Aires con el patrocinio de las abogadas de la fundaci&oacute;n Unos con Otros en el a&ntilde;o 2000. El proceso judicial fue resuelto por la Corte Suprema de Justicia de la Naci&oacute;n en el a&ntilde;o 2001. A partir del an&aacute;lisis del discurso de documentos del proceso judicial y entrevistas en profundidad estudio c&oacute;mo se configur&oacute; discursivamente el aborto en este proceso judicial. From a feminist socio-juridical approach, in this research work I investigate the judicial process T.S. assuming that it constitutes an institutionalized site of disputes over the discursive configuration of abortion. T.S. involved Silvia, a woman with a pregnancy diagnosis of an anencephalic fetus who, faced with the refusal of the medical professionals to perform the interruption of the pregnancy in the health system and the request for a court order, initiated a judicial process of amparo in the courts of the city of Buenos Aires with the sponsorship of the lawyers of the foundation Unos con Otros in the year 2000. The Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation ruled the judicial process T.S. in the year 2001. From the discourse analysis of the documents of the judicial process and of in-depth interviews I study how abortion was discursively configured in this judicial process.
