Logic in the Theory and Practice of Lawmaking
This book presents the current state of the art regarding the application of logical tools to the problems of theory and practice of lawmaking. It shows how contemporary logic may be useful in the analysis of legislation, legislative drafting and legal reasoning concerning different contexts of law making. Elaborations of the process of law making have variously emphasised its political, social or economic aspects. Yet despite strong interest in logical analyses of law, questions remains about the role of logical tools in law making. This volume attempts to bridge that gap, or at least to narrow it, drawing together some important research problems—and some possible solutions—as seen thr...
A Cultural Journey through the English Lexicon
This book is a metaphorical journey through the English lexicon, viewed as a vehicle and a mirror of cultural identity. From the translatability of phrases and metaphors to genre-specific terms, from English as a Lingua Franca to English language teaching, the studies collected here testify to the fact that in English – and overall in language – word contextualization or lack of contextualization impinges on linguistic utterances and leads to differing interpretations of the textual message. The book may be of interest to a wide range of scholars and students who are concerned with the study of the English lexicon, bearing in mind that this lexicon provides the bricks of any language, and language, in turn, needs the cornerstone of Culture to stand firmly and thrive.
Legal Knowledge and Information Systems
In the same way that it has become part of all our lives, computer technology is now integral to the work of the legal profession. The JURIX Foundation has been organizing annual international conferences in the area of computer science and law since 1988, and continues to support cutting-edge research and applications at the interface between law and computer technology. This book contains the 16 full papers and 6 short papers presented at the 26th International Conference on Legal Knowledge and Information Systems (JURIX 2013), held in December 2013 in Bologna, Italy. The papers cover a wide range of research topics and application areas concerning the advanced management of legal informat...
Legal Knowledge and Information Systems
The 22nd edition of the JURIX conference was held in Rotterdam on the 17th and 18th December and was hosted by the Erasmus University Rotterdam. While the conference was back to its country of origin, JURIX continues to attract a wide international audience. This year, the conference received submissions from all five continents. This clearly demonstrates the lively and growing interest for the highly interdisciplinary discipline of legal informatics. The selection of papers for this edition of JURIX covers a wide variety of topics in legal informatics, including contributions on established fields such as legal document management, argumentation, case based reasoning, dispute resolution, support for legal drafting and ontologies, to emerging areas such as regulatory compliance, normative multi-agent systems and game theory, as well as application areas, for example, fraud detection, legal tutoring systems and legal decision support systems.

Scholarly Communication and Academic Presses
The objective of the meeting was to identify concrete ways for implementing proposals to foster the international scientific co-operation of universities and academic societies. Against the background of an assumed tendency towards knowledge monopolies, caused by the protection of intellectual property rights by a few publishers, the experts in the Conference discussed the potential of these academic e-presses for improving scientific article collection and treatment as well as facilitating the access to scientific knowledge. The papers in this volume can best be regarded as contributions to the areas of inquiry in a field that is continuing to change very rapidly.

From Duccio to Raphael
Nel 2004 due dipinti, una piccola Madonna, supposta opera di Raffaello, ed una altrettanto piccola Madonna, supposta opera di Duccio, sono stati venduti per una somma totale di più di 100 milioni di dollari. Il primo, noto come la "Madonna dei garofani" è stato comprato dalla National Gallery di Londra e il secondo, talvolta chiamato il "Duccio Stoclet" è stato acquistato dal Metropolitan Museum di New York. Il modo in cui i lavori sono stati attribuiti ai due famosi artisti, denota chiaramente la crisi della moderna pratica attribuzionistica di fronte all'odierno, plutocrate mondo dell'arte. Le due opere infatti costituiscono una forte spesa di denaro pubblico per lavori non più grandi di un foglio di carta. Il libro dimostra dove e perché la loro attribuzione è erronea e cerca di ristabilire gli strumenti per una analisi corretta. In pratica, l'autore fornisce uno studio rigoroso e filogico dei due dipinti, dimostrando che entrambi sono falsi creati nel diciannovesimo secolo. Annotation Supplied by Informazioni Editoriali
