Milan was for centuries the most important center of economic, ecclesiastical and political power in Lombardy. As the State of Milan it extended in the Renaissance over a large part of northern and central Italy and numbered over thirty cities with their territories. A Companion to Late Medieval and early Modern Milan examines the story of the city and State from the establishment of the duchy under the Viscontis in 1395 through to the 150 years of Spanish rule and down to its final absorption into Austrian Lombardy in 1704. It opens up to a wide readership a well-documented synthesis which is both fully informative and reflects current debate. 20 chapters by qualified and distinguished scho...
The three concepts mentioned in the title of this volume imply the contact between two or more literary phenomena; they are based on similarities that are related to a form of ‘travelling’ and imitation or adaptation of entire texts, genres, forms or contents. Transfer comprises all sorts of ‘travelling’, with translation as a major instrument of transferring literature across linguistic and cultural barriers. Transfer aims at the process of communication, starting with the source product and its cultural context and then highlighting the mediation by certain agents and institutions to end up with inclusion in the target culture. Reception lays its focus on the receiving culture, esp...

It can be reasonably anticipated that, over the next generations, the proportion of elderly people will remarkably increase and, with this, the number ofpersons suffering from acute (e.g. cerebral ischemia) or chronic neurodegenerative disorders. To date, approved drugs only alleviate the symptoms ofthese diseases (for instance, acetylcholinesterase inhibitors in Alzheimer disease and L-dopa and dopamine-agonists in Parkinson disease), while none seems to stop the progression of the degenerative processes underlying them. The development of effective preventive or protective therapies has been impeded by the limitations of our knowledge of the causes and the mechanisms by which neurons die i...
As legal systems differ throughout the world there are significant differences in how Free and Open Source Software licenses are treated in different countries, and it can be difficult to obtain reliable information on national interpretations. The International Free and Open Source Software Law Book engages with this by providing a clear yet thorough analysis of Free and Open Source legal matters written and maintained by local experts. The publication is targeted towards lawyers, jurists and academics, and positioned as an international bench mark reference work. It provides an introduction to software protection, a general analysis of FOSS under local legislation and an overview of local FOSS cases (if any) for each country covered. The 2nd edition of the book features both new and updated chapters to ensure professionals remain abreast of the latest developments and market growth of Open Source.
Questo libro ci presenta una visione d'insieme sul mondo dell'openness, dal software open source ai servizi cloud, passando per le licenze Creative Commons e gli open data. Tra i primi ad averne fatto l'oggetto principale della propria attività scientifica e professionale, per la prima volta nel panorama italiano l'autore ci offre un quadro sistematico di come realizzare l'apertura e la condivisione di beni intellettuali che altrimenti rimarrebbero riservati. Un fenomeno che, da marginale, è divenuto centrale in vari contesti. L'opera si presenta al lettore in modo chiaro ma non banale. L'autore affronta temi complessi con stile lineare e comprensibile anche ai digiuni di diritto, ma conservando un necessario rigore scientifico, fornendo gli elementi per una teoria generale per la creazione e la promozione di beni intellettuali comuni, o commons. Un approccio rivoluzionario a questa branca del diritto, che capovolge l'uso di strumenti ben noti come il copyright e le licenze, richiedeva l'intervento di un giurista fuori dagli schemi e anticonformista come Piana.
Noi siamo quello che altri hanno voluto che diventassimo. Facciamo in modo che diventiamo quello che noi avremmo (rafforzativo di saremmo) voluto diventare. Oggi le persone si stimano e si rispettano in base al loro grado di utilità materiale da rendere agli altri e non, invece, al loro valore intrinseco ed estrinseco intellettuale. Per questo gli inutili sono emarginati o ignorati.
