The peace obligation in Italy was widely discussed in the doctrine in the 50's. However, the interest for this argument died in that period without a particular solution. Since then, neither the doctrine nor the legislator have been dedicated to study the peace obligation until it appeared the famous "Fiat case". This case has opened the discussion about the existence and binding force of the trade union truce agreement. ; El tema de las cláusulas de tregua sindical en Italia fue ampliamente debatido en la doctrina en los años 50, argumento cuyo interés se extinguió en aquel periodo sin haber llegado a una concreta solucion. Desde entonces, ni la doctrina ni tampoco el legislador se habían ocupado del pacto de tregua hasta que apareció el conocido "caso Fiat", por el cual se ha vuelto a discutir sobre la existencia y la fuerza vinculante del pacto de tregua sindical.

An estimated sixty million people in the United States are of Latinx descent, with youth under the age of eighteen making up two-thirds of this swiftly growing demographic. In Growing Up Latinx, Jesica Siham Fernández explores the lives of Latinx youth as they grapple with their social and political identities from an early age, and pursue a sense of belonging in their schools and communities as they face an increasingly hostile political climate.Drawing on interviews with nine-to-twelve-year-olds, Fernández gives us rare insight into how Latinx youth understand their own citizenship and bravely forge opportunities to be seen, to be heard, and to belong. With a compassionate eye, she shows us how they strive to identify, and ultimately redefine, what it means to come of age—and fight for their rights—in a country that does not always recognize them.Fernández follows Latinx youth as they navigate family, school, community, and country ties, richly detailing their hopes and dreams as they begin to advocate for their right to be treated as citizens in full. Growing Up Latinx invites us to witness the inspiring power of young people as they develop and make heard their political voices, broadening our understanding of citizenship. ; https://scholarcommons.scu.edu/faculty_books/1531/thumbnail.jpg

The Guantanamo prison operation is interpreted as a testing ground for a "new legal system", and is analyzed, in the context of the war on terrorism at home (through a regime d'exception formalized in the Patriot Act) and abroad (through the "doctrine of pre-emptive war"), unleashed after the attacks in September 2001. It is further argued that this is a recent and extreme manifestation of the historical propensity of the US Executive branch (the Imperial Presidency), to usurp legislative and judicial functions and powers.

Surface chemical composition, electronic structure, and bonding characteristics determine catalytic activity but are not resolved for individual catalyst particles by conventional spectroscopy. In particular, the nano-scale three-dimensional distribution of aliovalent lanthanide dopants in ceria catalysts and their effect on the surface electronic structure remains unclear. Here, we reveal the surface segregation of dopant cations and oxygen vacancies and observe bonding changes in lanthanum-doped ceria catalyst particle aggregates with sub-nanometer precision using a new model-based spectroscopic tomography approach. These findings refine our understanding of the spatially varying electronic structure and bonding in ceria-based nanoparticle aggregates with aliovalent cation concentrations and identify new strategies for advancing high efficiency doped ceria nano-catalysts. ; We thank Alex Eggeman for assistance with computational resources, supported by the Royal Society, for memory-intensive calculations.

Community psychology, despite its commitment to social justice, is prone to engage in deficit‐based perspectives that do not appropriately capture the strengths of Latinx communities. Given these limitations, we use a Community Cultural Wealth (CCW) (Yosso, 2005) framework to describe how muxeres, Latina women who identify as promotoras , madres, and mamás , leveraged their political power and culturally informed leadership to improve the health and well‐being of their communities. We highlight instances from our fieldwork, witnessing the agency of muxeres en acción for health equity. We offer three case studies to describe how we approached our collaborations with three groups of muxeres situated in different geographic locations in the state of California. The first case study discusses how immigrant muxeres who identify as promotoras (e.g., health workers) in the Central Valley developed their research skills through a promotora model that allowed them to build the capacity to advocate for the well‐being of their communities. The second example offers reflections from a Community‐Based Participatory Action Research (CBPAR) project with a group of Mexican immigrant madres in a gentrified community in San José. Lastly, the third case study describes how a group of mamás in the East Side of Los Angeles addressed issues of educational inequities. Together, these case studies illustrate muxeres' advocacy for their health and well‐being. Because women in general, and muxeres in particular, are considered gatekeepers of culture and tradition within their families, it is crucial that community psychologists ground their work in ethically and culturally appropriate frameworks that highlight the power of muxeres.

In this paper we present and discuss the creation and implementation of a community-based participatory action research (CBPAR) university course, and corresponding action projects, developed in collaboration with 11 Mexican immigrant madres (mothers). The Greater Washington community constitutes the setting for this project, as it is characterized by growing economic disparities reflective of the gentrification that characterizes the Silicon Valley (California, United States). We begin with a discussion of CBPAR, the community context, and the development of the CBPAR course, and associated projects. Furthermore, we discuss and highlight how the lived experiences of Mexican immigrant madres surfaced in the development of their action projects. All three projects were interconnected and inherently tied to the Mexican immigrant madres' community experiences, which reflected their personal, political, and economic challenges. The action projects included identifying resources for students with special needs, affordable housing, and public safety. Via these projects, the Mexican immigrant madres demonstrated their leadership, agency, hope, and resilience in the face of increasing systemic inequities, and gained an increased ability to address long-standing issues in their community. We conclude with implications for engaging in CBPAR, as well as lessons learned from this community-based collaboration.
