[Occupational pathologies: prevention (the realization of nonharmful productive technologies) and protection (standards and methodology) in the identification of work-related causes].

Protection at work should be intended as the whole measures which tend to study and improve the relationship between the individual and the work environment. A satisfactory work is important fos psychic health: it gives gratifications and may induce sense of personal fulfillment. The application of preventive safety rules can only reduce or limit, but never annul, the occurrence of dangerous events even if all the work safety rules are strictly enforced and observed.

Deontological aspects in recombinant DNA researches.

Legal problems exist in regard to patent rights for new biotechnologies. Ethical problems arise in connection with the application of the technique to patients and with the possibility to cure embryos. The potentialities of preventive medicine have affected even hiring criteria, in that individuals who present enzymic deficiencies can be considered at risk when working in contact with certain substances.

Information about morality and behaviour of victims.

According to the Italian Law of Procedure (1988) documents which inform about the morality of the guilty, the witness and the victim are not admitted; those about the victim are admitted only when the criminal event needs to be evaluated in relation to his/her behaviour and moral qualities. In our opinion, in this case, generic moral qualities do not have any real significance; only information about the victim's objective behaviour should be admitted: for instance, in the case of the crime of "corruption of a minor", a type of objective behaviour can be habitual prostitution. Moreover, the norm at issue contrasts with the general principle in the Italian law that the rights concerning the personality of an individual, particularly of a minor, are to be protected, and with the fundamental norm in the law of Procedure according to which criminological examinations are not allowed during the trial.
