I limiti della (non) punibilità degli illeciti di cui agli artt. 10-bis e 10-ter del D.Lgs n. 74/2000: incertezze applicative e logica europea di prevedibilità.

The paper concerns the limits of the punishment of the incriminating cases referred to in articles 10-bis and 10-ter d.lgs. no. 74/2000, in the hypothesis in which the taxpayer finds it impossible not only absolute but also merely relative to fulfill his tax obligations. In this regard, there was an excessive discretion of the interpreter of dubious compliance with the principle of conventional legality according to the article 7 CEDU.Il saggio si incentra sui limiti della punibilità delle fattispecie incriminatrici di cui agli artt. 10-bis e 10-ter del d.lgs n. 74/2000, nelle ipotesi in cui il contribuente versi in una impossibilità non solo assoluta ma anche meramente relativa di adempiere ai propri obblighi di imposta. In merito, si è riscontrata una eccessiva discrezionalità dell’interprete di dubbia coerenza con il principio di legalità convenzionale di cui all’art. 7 CEDU

Pistacia lentiscus: phytochemistry and anti-diabetic properties

Pistacia lentiscus L. (P. lentiscus) is an evergreen shrub (Anacardiaceae family) primarily found in the Mediterranean region. The plant has been thoroughly characterized, resulting in a high concentration of bioactive compounds as flavonoids and phenolics. Moreover, P. lentiscus was revealed to possess a great nutritional and industrial importance because of its variety of biological activities, including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-atherogenic and antioxidant properties. Many of its beneficial health properties and applications date back to antiquity, and the European Medicines Agency officially acknowledged it as an herbal medicinal product. Indeed, it is widely employed in conventional medicine to treat several diseases, including type 2 diabetes (T2D). On this basis, this review aims to summarize and describe the chemical composition of different parts of the plant and highlight the potential of P. lentiscus, focusing on its antidiabetic activities. The plant kingdom is drawing increasing attention because of its complexity of natural molecules in the research of novel bioactive compounds for drug development. In this context, P. lentiscus demonstrated several in vitro and in vivo antidiabetic effects, acting upon many therapeutic T2D targets. Therefore, the information available in this review highlighted the multitarget effects of P. lentiscus and its great potential in T2D treatment
