Analysis of the recent evolutionary italian legislation in the field of flexible employment contracts and specifically on the boundaries between autonomy and subordination

The aim of this paper is to analyse the autonomy of central banks from a historical perspective, with reference to the founding and development of the Bank of Italy in the period between its inception (1893) and the passing of the Italian Banking Law of 1936. The issue of central bank’s autonomy from governments and budgetary policies has been investigated by several scholars, for whom the degree of autonomy is linked exclusively to factors connected to those wielding power or influence at the time, and those related to the contingent historical and economic situation.

The reflection proposes a survey on women's ability to operate in partial indipendence and free thought through the design space, especially the open space. The works publish in the essay, belonging to different individuals and even far apart, are all linked by the metaphor of open space: gardens, parks, urban squares. The list of scholars is very long, among them: E. Bishop, R. Carson, S. Sassen, R. Solnit, D. Scott Brown, T. Way and for the UE, Muf Architect, Pia Pera, Caterina Resta, Luisa Bonesio, E. Simkunaite ed Emanuela Morelli.

In this paper I intend to focus on common alterations and distortions to an informed, voluntary, and decisionally-capacitated consent in the medical setting, especially those that impact the patient’s decision-making process. In doing so, I will focus on two specific issues. On the one hand, I will examine cognitive biases and self-deceptive processes that may affect the patient’s choice and autonomy. On the other hand, I will discuss the capacity of self-government as what usually referred to as the neurocognitive capacity of self-control.
