( Mauro Zamboni ),( Jongcheol Kim ) 연세대학교 법학연구원 공공거버넌스와 법센터 2017 연세 공공거버넌스와 법 Vol.8 No.2

Professor Jongcheol Kim, interviewed Professor Mauro Zamboni on June 27, 2017, as part of his visit to Yonsei University. This interview records Mauro Zamboni`s encounter with legislative study, introduces his study on legislative models, discusses issues in the bordering realm of politics and law, and explores concepts as varied as legislative impact assessment, corporate social responsibility(CSR), constitutionalism, and the thought of Teubner. It provides new insight into Zamboni`s philosophy and theoretical backgrounds, while opening new avenues of research for scholars in legislative study in the future.

Lunar ascent and orbit injection via locally-flat near-optimal guidance and nonlinear reduced-attitude control

Mauro, Pontani Techno-Press 2022 Advances in aircraft and spacecraft science Vol.9 No.5

This work deals with an explicit guidance and control architecture for autonomous lunar ascent and orbit injection, i.e., the locally-flat near-optimal guidance, accompanied by nonlinear reduced-attitude control. This is a new explicit guidance scheme, based on the local projection of the position and velocity variables, in conjunction with the real-time solution of the associated minimum-time problem. A recently-introduced quaternion-based reduced-attitude control algorithm, which enjoys quasi-global stability properties, is employed to drive the longitudinal axis of the ascent vehicle toward the desired direction. Actuation, based on thrust vectoring, is modeled as well. Extensive Monte Carlo simulations prove the effectiveness of the guidance, control, and actuation architecture proposed in this study for precise lunar orbit insertion, in the presence of nonnominal flight conditions.

Delayed puberty versus hypogonadism: a challenge for the pediatrician

Mauro Bozzola,Elena Bozzola,Chiara Montalbano,Filomena Andreina Stamati,Pietro Ferrara,Alberto Villani 대한소아내분비학회 2018 Annals of Pediatirc Endocrinology & Metabolism Vol.23 No.2

Constitutional delay of growth and puberty (CDGP) is the most common cause of delayed puberty (DP), is mainly found in males, and is characterized by short stature and delayed skeletal maturation. A family history of the subject comprising the timing of puberty in the parents and physical examination may provide clues regarding the cause of DP. Delayed onset of puberty is rarely considered a disease in either sex. In fact, DP usually represents a common normal variant in pubertal timing, with favorable outcomes for final height and future reproductive capacity. In adolescents with CDGP, a linear growth delay occurs until immediately before the start of puberty, then the growth rate rapidly increases. Bone age is often delayed. CDGP is a diagnosis of exclusion; therefore, alternative causes of DP should be considered. Functional hypogonadotropic hypogonadism may be observed in patients with transient delay in hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis maturation due to associated conditions including celiac disease, inflammatory bowel diseases, kidney insufficiency, and anorexia nervosa. Permanent hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (pHH) showing low serum value of testosterone or estradiol and blunted follicle-stimulating hormones (FSH) and luteinizing hormones (LH) levels may be due to abnormalities in the central nervous system. Therefore, magnetic resonance imaging is necessary to exclude morphological abnormalities and neoplasia. Moreover, pHH may be isolated, as observed in Kallmann syndrome, or associated with other hormone deficiencies, as found in panhypopituitarism. Baseline or gonadotropin-releasing hormone pituitary stimulated gonadotropin level is not sufficient to easily differentiate CDGP from pHH. Low serum testosterone in male patients and low estradiol values in female patients, associated with high serum FSH and LH levels, suggest a diagnosis of hypergonadotropic hypogonadism. A genetic analysis can reveal a chromosomal abnormality (e.g., Turner syndrome or Klinefelter syndrome). In cases where the adolescent with CDGP is experiencing psychological difficulties, treatment should be recommended.

The exfoliation of irradiated nuclear graphite by treatment with organic solvent: a proposal for its recycling

Mauro Capone,Nadia Cherubini,Maria Letizia Cozzella,Alessandro Dodaro,Tiziana Guarcini 한국원자력학회 2019 Nuclear Engineering and Technology Vol.51 No.4

For the past 50 years, graphite has been widely used as a moderator, reflector and fuel matrix in differentkinds of gas-cooled reactors. Resulting in approximately 250,000 metric tons of irradiated graphitewaste. One of the most significant long-lived radioisotope from graphite reactors is carbon-14 (14C) [1]with a half-life of 5730 years, this makes it a huge concern for deep geologic disposal of nucleargraphite (NG). Considering the lifecycle of NG a number of waste management options have beendeveloped, mainly focused on the achievement the radiological requirements for disposal [2]. Theexisting approaches for recycling depend on the cost to be economically viable. In this new study, an affordable process to remove 14C has been proposed using samples taken fromthe Nuclear Power Plant in Latina (Italy) which have been used to investigate the capability of organicand inorganic solvents in removing 14C from exfoliated nuclear graphite, with the aim to design apracticable approach to obtain graphite for recycling or/and safety disposed as L& LLW.

Reactive distillation in the intensification of oleic acid esterification with methanol – A simulation case-study

Mauro Banchero,Ratna Dewi Kusumaningtyas,Giuseppe Gozzelino 한국공업화학회 2014 Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Vol.20 No.6

Process intensification through reactive distillation (RD) could be successfully applied to theesterification of long-chain fatty acids, which is a crucial step in the biodiesel synthesis. Whileprevious literature reports are mainly focused on the esterification of short- tomedium- fatty acids, oleicacid has been chosen as an example of a long chain one and different RD configurations were simulatedand compared. The configuration with top external recycle proved to be the best solution since it allowsthe reaction to be conducted under a large methanol excess, even though the column is fed withstoichiometric reactants.

Legislating Education: Finding the Right Model…But Not in Sweden!

Mauro Zamboni,Maria Refors Legge 한국법제연구원 2020 KLRI journal of law and legislation Vol.10 No.2

Law-making is always a difficult task: it involves forcing general models of behavior, which are normally supposed to be valid over time and space, upon a vast population of individuals and articulated organizations of human beings. This undertaking means that the activity of legislating implies forcing a general solution upon specific and often extremely differentiated individual situations; in the best-case scenario, this solution might be valid for a majority of individuals, but could definitely be troublesome for an extensive minority of the targeted population. If one looks in particular to the legislation on education, this “flaw” becomes even more tangible due to the delicate and specific nature of the field that the legislation is expected to regulate. First, formal education is the central component for modern society: at least in its advanced capitalistic form, the applicable motto is still “knowledge is power.” Second, despite its crucial role in society, legislating education is also difficult because the positions tend to diverge enormously in terms of how education and other fundamental components of contemporary society should be structured. By looking at the Swedish legislative example (and its failure), this paper illustrates the necessity of choosing the right model of legislative policy. The right model, as it will be argued in this paper, is one that moves the legislative law-making process closer to the direct target of the education, namely the students (and, to some extent, the teachers). More specifically, this reduction of distance between regulators and recipient should be done by opening the way for direct and increased involvement of the school administration in the creation of regulatory processes.

Acumulación, Facticidad y Constitución. Hacia Un Nuevo Consenso Juristocrático

Mauro Salazar J. 한국라틴아메리카학회 2021 라틴아메리카연구 Vol.34 No.2

A copious amount of literature about the constitutional process has been displayed on the Chilean case (2019-2021) by calling upon diverse factors. This paper develops a genealogy that states the problems of malaise and how these gradually affected the modernizer process promoted by the Chilean transitional to democracy (1990-2010). However, in contrast to the malaise thesis, we propose and advocate a synthesis of the diverse poles of the struggle that aimed to counteract the influence of the Pinochet regime on the modernization of thelegal system. It was through this struggle that the means of a new Constitution has been written under the current relevant urgencies of the Chilean social outburst that took place in 2019. From the author’s point of view, the “repealing insurgency” indicates the existencc of a radical crisis the mediation of institutional politics and the elites. Hence, congressional “lawfare” (legal warfare, of low intensity in the Chilean case) was a resource that has repercussions in the ‘legislative neocaesarisms’ of the region. The latter, in the midst of a crisis of representation, has been the elitist effort to institutionally channel social protest and restore the normative field. However, it is a notion that does not yet enjoy a precise status.

Pectin and SDS as auxiliary flocculants for complementary treatment of textile wastewater by electrocoagulation

Mauro Cosme de Carvalho Góes,Marcos Paulo Ribeiro Garcez,Andréa Roberta Ferreira Siqueira,Thiago Palhares Farias,Claudemir Gomes de Santana,Jonas de Jesus Gomes da Costa Neto,Cicero Wellington Brito B 한국화학공학회 2021 Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering Vol.38 No.8

Textile wastewaters currently remain as one of the major sources of environmental pollution. In addition to the presence of several recalcitrant species, the volume of the effluent to be treated is usually quite high, due to the excessive consumption of water in this kind of processing. To avoid all the negative impacts associated with the discharge of these untreated effluents, effective remediation techniques should be applied. Although there are currently several methods available, due to complexity and volume of the wastewater, combined technologies can provide better efficiency, lower cost and less time consumption. In this work, electrocoagulation (EC) combined with the conventional flocculation process was studied for the removal of methylene blue dye (MB) in aqueous medium. Under specific EC conditions (4 pairs of electrodes, 2.5 cm spacing, electrolysis time of 203min, pHinitial 4, 32 V, 1.5 A) it was possible to remove 63% of the dye. Combining EC with conventional flocculation, a notable reduction in electrolysisrequired time (203 to 60 min), dye (99.8%), color (100%) and turbidity (99.2%) was observed.

소유권을 매개로 한 담보제도

Mauro Bussani,Michel Grimaldi,박수곤(번역자) 한국법학원 2014 저스티스 Vol.- No.142

본고에서는 담보법의 현대화의 요구에 프랑스 개정법이 대응한 방식, 즉 소유권을 매개로 한 담보제도를 통한 법적 도구의 단순화와 효율성 확보에 대해 살펴보았다. 그리고 그 특징은 다음과 같은 세 가지의 측면으로 나누어 설명할 수 있다. 우선, 그 내용의 측면에서, 담보신탁이라는 제도적 개혁을 통하여 효율성과 안전성을 추구한다는 점에서 독창성이 인정된다. 프랑스에서의 신탁은 특히 독일법에서의 양도담보(alienation fiduciaire) 같은 제도와 유사성이 인정되며, 어떤 점에서는 영미법에 기원을 두고 있는 트러스트(trust)나 유동담보(floating charge)와 유사성이 인정된다. 그러나 프랑스법에서의 신탁재산은 독일에서의 양도담보와는 달리, 어떤 사람이 수탁자에게 이전한 재산은 신탁의 목적을 위하여 ‘충당된’(affecte) 자산을 형성한다. 그리고 트러스트와는 달리 프랑스에서의 신탁은 명시적이고 서면에 의한 합의를 전제로 하는 반면, 트러스트는 묵시적이고 서면에 의하지 않거나 일방적일수도 있다는 것이다. 즉, 프랑스법에서는 신탁자(설정자)가 수탁자와의 법률행위 및 수익자의 승낙 없이는 신탁을 설정할 수 없다. 환언하면, 영미법에서의 수탁자(trustee)나 수익자(beneficiary)와는 달리, 프랑스법에서는 자신이 알지 못하는 사이에 수탁자나 수익자가 되지 않는다. 다음으로, 프랑스개정법은 다양한 물적담보제도에 적용될 수 있는 원칙을 단순화하고 규정 상호간의 일관성 및 형평성을 유지하고자 하였다. 그 주된 목적은 경제를 강화하기 위하여 금융을 보다 용이하게 하는 효율적이고, 유연하며 예견 가능한 담보법을 고안하는 것이었다. 그리고 이를 위하여 개정법에서는 채권자와 채무자 사이의 이해관계 뿐만 아니라 제3자의 보호법익과의 균형 또한 유지하고자 하였다. 예컨대, 유담보계약의 영역에 있어서, 채무자의 주된 주거지라든가(프랑스민법 제2459조) 관련 법령에서 채무자와 제3자를 보호하는 경우들은(프랑스민법 제2348조, 제2366조 및 제2459조) 이를 유담보의 적용영역에서 배제하여야 할 것이다. 즉, i) 합의나 판결에 의해 지정된 감정인에 의한 재산가액의 평가가 수반되어야 하며, ii) 재산가액이 피담보채무액을 초과하는 경우, 그 차액은 채무자에게 반환되거나 다른 채권자에게 지급되어야 한다. 한편, 현대적이고 효율적인 담보제도는 은행의 이익에 전적으로 기여한다는 오해가 있을 수 있다. 신뢰할 수 있고 효율적인 담보제도는 대주의 이익뿐만 아니라 우선적으로 외부로부터의 금융을 필요로 하는 차주나 다수의 중소기업 및 가계의 이익에 기여한다. 그리고 최근의 금융위기에 따른 대출의 품귀현상은 주로 대주의 이익에 경도된 금융제도의 유해한 결과를 대변하는 것이라고 할 수 있다. 마지막으로 프랑스개정법에서 주목할 점은 민법전으로의 영예의 회귀이다. 즉, 담보제도와 관련한 법원칙들이 다수의 법령들에 산재해 있는 것이 사실이다. 따라서 민법전이 체계적인 측면에서 그 내용이 없게 되는 위험이 있다. 이러한 측면에서, 개정법은 관련 원칙들이 분산되는 것을 막고, 민법과 상법의 괴리에 대해 다리를 놓으며, 가능한 범위 내에서 담보제도에 관한 원칙을 민법전 내에 편입하고자 하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다.
