This paper aims at critically addressing the issue of intellectual property in the biomedical and health fields, focusing on the equitable and rapid distribution of anti-COVID-19 vaccines on a global scale. The main allegation is not new: open science is incompatible with policies aimed at extending and strengthening intellectual property. However, this same thesis deserves further attention in relation to the ongoing public debate and national and international policy choices. The paper starts from the refutation of the arguments in favour of private patents on vaccines (paragraph 2), then it provides an overview on of the debate on downstream policies (paragraph 3) and discusses some upstream policies (paragraph 4); some conclusions follow (paragraph 5). Questo scritto intende affrontare criticamente il tema della proprietà intellettuale in campo biomedico e sanitario, con particolare riferimento alla questione dell'equa e rapida distribuzione su scala globale dei vaccini anti-COVID-19. La tesi di fondo non è nuova: la scienza aperta è inconciliabile con politiche di estensione e rafforzamento della proprietà intellettuale. Pur non essendo nuova, la tesi merita un approfondimento in relazione al dibattito pubblico in corso e alle scelte politiche nazionali e internazionali. Si prenderà le mosse dalla confutazione degli argomenti a favore di brevetti privati sui vaccini (paragrafo 2), per poi offrire una sintesi del dibattito sulle politiche a valle (paragrafo 3), discutere alcune politiche a monte (paragrafo 4) e infine svolgere alcune conclusioni (paragrafo 5). ; https://www.robertocaso.it/2021/05/19/pandemia-e-vaccini-lirrisolvibile-antagonismo-tra-scienza-aperta-e-proprieta-intellettuale/

"Europe's boundaries have mainly been shaped by cultural, religious, and political conceptions rather than by geography. In this context, this volume outlines the transformation of Europe's boundaries from the fall of the ancient world to the age of decolonization and explores, among other aspects, the confrontation of Christian Europe with Islam and the changing role of the Mediterranean from 'mare nostrum' to a frontier between nations"--

Intellectual capital is gaining in importance over the years, evolving from a "needed to win" resource, necessary to control the market, into a "needed to play" resource, namely an essential element for the survival of the firm. This evolution has led to innovations in accounting concepts, methods and tools. This work offers a critical analysis of the main methods and tools for the evaluation of the intellectual capital, of the potentials and limits of the various evaluation models proposed by the doctrine and the practice. A business case study completes the book.

The topic of this chapter is the political and cultural evolution of the Association de la Presse Latine (APL). Between 1923 and 1935 the APL organised 13 conferences both in Europe and in Central America, becoming a point of reference and a place to share ideas for right wings intellectuals across the Atlantic. Analysing the meetings' proceedings and the Association's monthly magazine, this chapter intends to shed a new light both on the study of the political project of pan-Latinism in a broader transnational perspective and on the reactionary intellectuals networks during the interwar period ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
