Cooperative planning is a potent approach for steering quality settlement development inwards. With the combination of (special) use plans and urban development contracts, they come into play where traditional spatial planning is unable to reliably achieve the desired spatial planning due to a lack of agreements with landowners or investors. While private individuals benefit from a better use of their land, the state gains influence on the "if" and "how" of the constructional realization of this land. The considerable urban planning significance of cooperative planning is contrasted by constitutional concerns about the method. Cooperative planning runs the risk of shortchanging legitimate public and third-party interests and of overreaching to the private cooperating party because of the state's bidding power in the area of land use planning. This book shows ways how cooperative planning can be designed according to rule-of-law standards and thus be strengthened.

This is an open access book. Colorectal surgery is one of the most performed procedures in dedicated colorectal and general surgery units worldwide. In the last two decades, the minimally invasive laparoscopic approach has become very popular worldwide, attracting great interest among patients (lower risk of infection, less pain, and faster recovery) and demonstrating excellent oncological results. Technology is improving rapidly, offering revolutionary innovations, particularly with the advent of robotic surgery, which offers important advantages over laparoscopy for both surgeons and patients: improved ergonomics, wristed instruments, and a better vision. These advantages may be particularly useful for more complex and challenging situations (complete mesocolic excision, low rectal cancer, one-stage treatment of colorectal and liver metastases, etc.), translating into potential improved surgical and oncological results. Although several books have been published onthe subject, the great interest in robotic surgery makes it mandatory, in our opinion, to have a general update in view of the latest technical innovations and the results of the most relevant and recent literature. The book is divided into chapters dealing with the different colorectal segments with their robotic surgical operations and specific technical variants. The new frontiers of benign and emergency colorectal diseases are also considered, as well as the new robotic platforms recently introduced in the healthcare market. Some of them, such as the da Vinci SP single port device, may represent a revolutionary approach for this surgery. Training and cost aspects were also considered.

LA DAME ESCOILLEE (NRCF,83) La Dame escoillee è un fabliau anonimo composto nel Nord della Francia intorno alla metà del Duecento: l’autore offre una versione per molti aspetti originale della celeberrima “Bisbetica domata”, un nucleo narrativo assai prolifico nella letteratura e nel folclore, dal quale trae spunto anche la nota commedia di William Shakespeare, The Taming of the Shrew. Il racconto antico-francese è per molti versi affine a un coevo Schwankmäre medio-alto tedesco, la Vrouwen Zuht di Sibote: entrambi gli autori tendono ad accentuare la valenza esemplare della vicenda narrata e ad attenuarne i risvolti comici, attuando trasformazioni profonde rispetto al nucleo narrativo di partenza. La rielaborazione in chiave misogina e moraleggiante proposta dai due racconti raggiunge il culmine nell’episodio conclusivo, tutto giocato sull’ambiguo confine tra violenza e ruse, scherzo e verità, realtà e finzione: se le altre ricorrenze del motivo tendono a fare della megera una figura essenzialmente comica ed esaltano perciò gli aspetti buffi e farseschi del nucleo narrativo di partenza, i due testi medievali si chiudono invece sulla terribile e brutale punizione della “Virago”, che viene appunto evirata e costretta finalmente mediante la violenza a sottomettersi al potere maschile che aveva osato sfidare. Di là dalle implicazioni antropologiche e psicologiche inquietanti sottese alla vicenda, rimane in primo piano il messaggio di cui il fabliau vuol essere portatore, principalmente rivolgendosi alla coeva società aristocratica chiamata a reggere e difendere lo status quo: l’immagine snaturata e mostruosa della “Dama castrata” si propone infatti come il rovescio del ritratto cortese della donna, la sua immagine grottesca spinta sino alle estreme conseguenze al fine di mettere in guardia gli uomini sposati rispetto alla necessità di mantenere ben saldo il confine tra realtà e finzione letteraria. Il libro offre anzitutto una nuova analisi delle procedure narrative,…

The International Workshop on Models and Analysis of Vocal Emissions for Biomedical Applications (MAVEBA) came into being in 1999 from the particularly felt need of sharing know-how, objectives and results between areas that until then seemed quite distinct such as bioengineering, medicine and singing. MAVEBA deals with all aspects concerning the study of the human voice with applications ranging from the neonate to the adult and elderly. Over the years the initial issues have grown and spread also in other aspects of research such as occupational voice disorders, neurology, rehabilitation, image and video analysis. MAVEBA takes place every two years always in Firenze, Italy.
