Traditional studies of the structure and mechanism have focused so far on their syntheses from key molecules (sugars, HMF) and spectroscopic analyses of the as-synthesized oligomers/macromolecules. Herein, we propose structural and mechanism insights based on a novel down-up approach involving the decomposition of humins via catalytic reactions in continuous flow and interpretation of product molecules. The apparent coexistence of different mechanisms proposed in literature is observed upon product distribution analysis, and the key molecules taking part into humins formation are identified, including furanics, levulinates, sugar-derived molecules, and others. This work shows the complexity of humins formation, and their need of valorization.

Si chiede poi se e in che senso si ponga oggi una qualche esigenza di specificità per il metodo degli studiosi del secondo, rilevando che esso non può consistere semplicemente in una maggiore considerazione dei dati della realtà: poiché in effetti ogni metodo ritiene di essere più «realistico» degli altri e la distinzione riguarda invece il modo di concepire la «realtà». Viene quindi osservato che, trattandosi di far riferimento alla «prassi degli affari», la tematica si caratterizza essenzialmente per i tempi dei suoi mutamenti: con la conseguenza che chi ne fa oggetto di studio è indotto a operare sulla base di modelli approssimativi, con particolare valenza della prospettiva della Typuslehre, e utilizzando più che in altri settori lo strumento dell'analogia. Parole chiave: diritto commerciale-diritto dei contratti-metodo giuridico On method in business law The paper begins by critically noting the current tendency to marginalize from the center of the interests of commercial law scholars the area of contracts, the one where the most significant distinction can be made between civil and commercial law. It raises then the question whether and in what sense there is today some need for specificity for the method for studying the second, and it is noted that it cannot consist simply in a greater consideration of the data of reality: since in fact each method believes to be more «realistic» than the others and the distinction instead concerns the way of conceiving «reality». It is therefore noted that, since it is a matter of referring to «business practice», the subject is essentially characterized by the timing of its changes: with the consequence that those who study it are led to operate on the basis of approximative models, with particular value of the perspective of the Typuslehre, and using more than in other sectors the instrument of analogy.

And yet, the cluster of concepts around the notion of software, such as the notions of a software product, software requirements, software specifications, are still poorly understood with no consensus on the horizon. For many, software is just code, something intangible best defined in contrast with hardware, but it is not particularly illuminating. This erroneous notion, software is just code, presents both in the ontology of software literature and in the software maintenance tools. This notion is obviously wrong because it doesn’t account for the fact that whenever someone fixes a bug, the code of a software system changes, but nobody believes that this is a different software system. Several researchers have attempted to understand the core nature of software and programs in terms of concepts such as code, copy, medium and execution. More recently, a proposal was made by Irmak to consider software as an abstrac...

It must therefore be asked not only whether these trends are really able of pursuing the aims they propose, but also how the technical terms necessary for their application should be defined: between them, first of all, the notion of management of the company. In this respect .the article proposes to carry out the investigation through an analysis of the regulatory data, not as usual of the business practice, with the possibility in this way to identify different meanings for the different types of company.
