Full textAbstract:
In 1870, physicians in United States were not licensed by the state or federal governments, but by 1900 almost every state and territory passed some form of medical licensing. Regular physicians originally promoted licensing laws as way to marginalize competing Homeopathic and Eclectic physicians, but eventually, elite Regular physicians worked with organized, educated Homeopathic and Eclectic physicians to lobby for medical licensing laws. Physicians knew that medical licensing was not particularly appealing to state legislatures. Therefore, physicians successfully packaged licensing laws with broader public health reforms to convince state legislatures that they were necessary. By tying medical licensing laws with public health measures, physicians also provided a strong legal basis for courts to find these laws constitutional. While courts were somewhat skeptical of licensing, judges ultimately found that licensing laws were a constitutional use of state police powers.
The quasi-governmental organizations created by licensing laws used their legal authority to expand the scope of the practice of medicine and slowly sought to force all medical specialists to obtain medical licenses. By expanding the scope of the practice of medicine, physicians successfully seized control of most aspects of healthcare. These organizations also sought to eliminate any unlicensed medical competition by requiring all medical specialists to attend medical schools approved by state licensing boards. Ultimately, licensing laws and a growing understanding of medical science gradually merged the three largest competing medical sects and unified the practice of medicine under physicians.

Woodhouse, Laura. "Regulation of the DNA licensing protein Cdt1 in Xenopus laevis embryos." Thesis, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/10443/2500.
Full textAbstract:
During each cell cycle the DNA must be replicated accurately in order to maintain genomic integrity. To ensure faithful replication of the entire genome, DNA replication must be tightly controlled. This control is achieved through the process of DNA licensing in which pre-replicative complexes are assembled to prime the DNA for replication in the coming S-phase. To prevent re-licensing and subsequent re-replication, which would lead to genomic instability, DNA licensing must also be tightly controlled. The main mechanism of regulation of DNA licensing is through regulation of Cdt1 activity, a key component of DNA licensing. During the metazoan somatic cell cycle Cdt1 is regulated by proteolysis and inhibition by geminin. However there is evidence that the mechanisms of Cdt1 regulation during the short, rapid cleavage cell cycles of the early pre-MBT Xenopus embryo may differ. The results presented here show that upon expression of a deregulated, truncated version of Cdt1 in pre-MBT Xenopus embryos the cell cycle arrests with damaged DNA and evidence of checkpoint activation. This demonstrates that correct Cdt1 regulation is crucial for proper DNA licensing and pre-MBT embryonic cell cycle progression. There was no evidence of ubiquitination, degradation or phosphorylation of endogenous Cdt1. This suggests that changing interactions with geminin rather than proteolysis or post-translational modification provides the main mechanism of Cdt1 regulation in pre-MBT Xenopus embryos. The highly regulated N-terminal region of Cdt1 is capable of binding to DNA and the licensing component Orc1. This suggests that domains for DNA and Orc1 binding are also located at this region of the Cdt1 protein. However, a truncated Cdt1 construct lacking the N-terminal domain is still capable of licensing the DNA. Since the regulation of Cdt1 is crucial for correct DNA licensing, these interactions may therefore constitute redundant mechanisms to ensure the proper activity of Cdt1. Overall the results presented in this thesis show that in early Xenopus embryos Cdt1 regulation is crucial for faithful DNA licensing and cell cycle progression. In addition the main mechanism for regulation of Cdt1 is through dynamic interactions with geminin rather than post-translational modification or degradation during the pre-MBT embryonic cell cycle.

Full textAbstract:
From alarm about the prospect of ‘twenty-four drinking’ to campaigns for a minimum price per unit, the last decade has shown that alcohol consumption is an inflammatory issue in this country. It has become commonplace to hear that drinking is ‘out of control’ and that it is a new and worsening problem largely unique to Britain. However, comparative research reveals that alcohol consumption in Britain is not unusually high and even a cursory glance at history shows that extreme bouts of alarm about drinking have been common on these shores since at least the eighteenth century. What is at the root of this national neurosis about alcohol? This thesis considers the historical development of both public attitudes to alcohol and laws relating to alcohol in England and Wales. Covering issues of crime, disorder, health and immorality, it investigates the various means through which alcohol has been constructed as a social problem through time. This qualitative focus on change and continuity in history allows for the attitudinal and legal impact of certain key developments to be assessed. Particular attention is paid to the Victorian temperance movement which, drawing especially on the ideas of Hunt and Ruonavaara, is characterised as a moral regulation project. It is argued that, although the temperance movement itself declined in the early twentieth century, the moral regulation project it initiated continues, in certain ways, to shape public attitudes towards drinking and the legal regulation of alcohol in the present day. Rather than being a response to contemporary behavioural trends, this thesis proposes that continuing anxieties, apparent in how we think about and regulate alcohol, are more usefully understood as a hangover from the Victorian period.

Kulkarni, Anjana. "Aberrant regulation of the DNA replication licensing system and Aurora kinases in epithelial ovarian carcinoma." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2009. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/17926/.
Full textAbstract:
Despite advances, the impact on long-term survival for individuals with epithelial ovarian carcinorna (EOC) remains modest. To date, efforts to find novel treatment strategies have focused on complex upstream oncogenic signalling pathways. However exploiting the molecules which govern these redundant pathways in the clinical setting has proved difficult. An alternative approach is to focus on the cell cycle machinery, which acts as an integration point for information transduced through upstream pathways. The DNA replication licensing factors and Aurora kinases are important cell cycle regulatory proteins which are showing promise as novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets in a broad range of tumour types. However there is a paucity of information regarding the role of these G1/S and G2/M regulatory molecules in EOC. Here I show that there is aberrant regulation of the DNA replication licensing system and Aurora kinases in EOC. Moreover, dysregulation of these molecules is associated with aggressive, genomically unstable tumour phenotypes, which in turn translates into important prognostic information with regards to patient survival. Furthermore, I have shown that multi-parameter expression analysis of these proteins allows assessment of cell cycle kinetics in individual pathological specimens, parameters linked to the biological behaviour of these tumours. This form of analysis could be utilised as a predictive test for therapeutic agents targeting the cell cycle machinery or upstream growth signal transduction pathways that accelerate cell cycle progression. Notably, my work identifies the Cdc7 and Aurora A kinases as promising predictive biomarkers and molecular targets in this complex tumour type, an intriguing finding in view of the nature of these molecules and their amenability to small molecule inhibition. Thus, finally, I have utilised in vitro RNA interference studies to provide early proof-of-principle validation that Cdc7 kinase represents a novel mechanism-based therapeutic target in this heterogeneous malignancy. Collectively, these studies highlight the prognostic, predictive and therapeutic utility of the DNA replication licensing system and Aurora kinases in EOC.

Talbot, Deborah Helen. "The regulation of nightlife and the production of social differentiation : regeneration and licensing in Southview." Thesis, Middlesex University, 2002. http://eprints.mdx.ac.uk/13638/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis attempts to address the reasons why, in the anonymous case study of Southview, a 'night-time economy', based around the consumer demands of a young white popUlation, came to predominate in an area largely defined by its African/Caribbean population and the cultural forms arising from that population. It examines the interrelationship between culture, economy and law. Specifically, this involves examining the interface between the different cultural forms and meanings of nightlife, forms of regeneration initiatives and licensing law and practice in the locality. The research uses an anonymous case study to examine these interrelationships through a combination of ethnographic techniques, semi-structured interviews and documentary sources. Chapters One and Two deal with relevant literature, methodology and research design. Then, the research findings are presented in an approximation of a chronological order, whilst examining the key processes involved in the change and transformation of nightlife spaces. Chapter Three explores the way in which historical conflicts defmed and bound the locality. Chapter Four examines the conflicts emerging from economic development plans and the differing interpretation given by different populations. Chapter Five outlines the conflicts and dynamics involved in the development of the 'night-time economy' in Southview. Chapters Six and Seven explore the issues of subjectivity and differentiation that arise in the formal and informal processes of licensing law and practice. The conclusion attempts to examine the interrelationship between culture, economy and law in explaining both the process of change and the reproduction of social differentiation. While the research found that there were no long-term strategic plans to convert nightlife spaces in the area, a conjunction of local institutional subjectivities, practices and legal or regulatory strictures served to re-orientate or 'normalise' local nightlife, and in the process eliminate or exclude some of the key cultural forms of the Afro-Caribbean population. This involved a number of interrelated processes. First, the evolution of a racialised problematisation of the locality that impacted upon the development and marginalisation of forms of black entertainment. Second, a combination of regeneration and policing initiatives aimed at normalising and reclaiming unregulated space, although to different degrees of intent. Third, the application of licensing law and its local interpretation that reproduced and concretised this process of differentiation. Finally, the impact of the growth of a population of young professionals who were overwhelmingly represented in the new night-time economy and who exhibited specific forms of spatial consciousness. The interrelationship of such multi-causal processes, it is argued, highlights the importance of complexity in explanation, in that separate elements of the whole are largely unrelated and unconscious of the other. However, the impact of such processes served to create new social differentials based on an evolving combination of class and racial exclusion, and in doing so sideline the potential of experimentation and diversity within nightlife spaces.

Cooper, James Michael. "Taxi licensing, regulation and control : an analysis of taxi supply in medium sized UK cities." Thesis, Edinburgh Napier University, 2007. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/7242.
Full textAbstract:
The primary objective of this thesis is to provide a new approach to optimizing the supply of taxis as applied in UK cities. Taxi supply, both in the UK and elsewhere, is controlled by a series of regulations (defined in relation to controls affecting Quantity, Quality and Economics - QQE) that influence the ability of the market to respond structurally - in terms of access to the market, and operationally - affecting the ability to provide services within the market. This thesis identifies the existing structures in taxi regulation. It explores legislative disagreement and differences in both academic and practitioner literature and perspectives. The thesis provides both a new approach to, and a new model of, taxi regulation, which accommodates existing differences in regulatory structures. The thesis builds on existing methods applied in determining individual elements of control - which may be appropriate to some elements of control but fail to address a full cross section of impacts - and provides an enhanced approach and new modelling framework for taxi regulation. In constructing this approach use has been made of both survey and case study methodologies. Survey data has been collected from two surveys, of 52 cities and 21 licensing authorities respectively. The case studies used are of Glasgow! and West Dunbartonshire(2). The thesis concludes that existing approaches to regulation are conducted in separate regulatory domains without sufficient comprehension of the impacts of action in one regulatory domain on another. It also concludes that the instruments used in the assessment of the impacts of regulation on taxi supply are insufficiently specified and inadequately coordinated. It is possible to identify issues across regulatory domains that can be improved to better optimize supply appropriate in any given circumstance to the benefit of existing and potential passengers - this includes those with particular access needs. In optimizing supply, awareness of the needs of the taxi industry and its regulators has been an important element of consideration. The thesis makes recommendations for alterations in the application of standard methods of assessment of taxi supply. 1 Although central to the Strathclyde conurbation, the Glasgow licensing area relates to the central city area only (Clydebank, Paisley, etc. being included in separate council licensing areas). The city is thus defined as medium sized location. 2 Further focus city material bas been collected from Belfast and Edinburgh, which is included in comparison within the text, and summarised in the appendices of this document.

Kayes, O. J. "Aberrant regulation of the DNA replication licensing system and genomic instability in penile squamous cell carcinoma." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2015. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1469018/.
Full textAbstract:
Penile cancer is a rare urogenital malignancy associated with an unusual geographical variability. Unifying hypotheses to explain this diversity include variations in human papilloma virus (HPV) infection and distinct socioeconomic influences. However, our understanding of the molecular drivers for penile carcinogenesis remains deficient. Furthermore, current prognostic and predictive tools for the clinical management of men with penile cancer have limited discriminatory roles. Radical surgery remains the cornerstone of treatment and effective adjuvant treatments are lacking. Despite improvements in surgical techniques and diagnostic methods, clinical outcomes appear to have plateaued in recent times. The DNA replication licensing factors are important cell cycle regulatory proteins which are showing promise as novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets in a broad range of tumour types. It may be possible to exploit the unique properties of the replication licensing system; as a relay station for upstream, signalling pathways, in order to develop utilitarian biomarkers and therapeutic targets for managing men with PeScc. In this thesis, I show that there is aberrant regulation of the DNA replication licensing system in PeScc. Importantly, I demonstrate that the dysregulation of these molecules is associated with aggressive, genomically unstable tumour phenotypes, which in turn translates into important prognostic information with regards to patient survival. Furthermore, I have shown that multiparameter expression analysis of these proteins allows assessment of cell cycle kinetics in individual pathological specimens, parameters linked to the biological behaviour of these tumours. This novel form of cell cycle biomarker analysis may also be of value as a predictive test for assessing the therapeutic effect of cell cycle phase specific anti-cancer agents or mechanistic drugs targeting the cell cycle machinery. Collectively, these studies highlight the prognostic, predictive and therapeutic utility of the DNA replication licensing system in PeScc.

Nuclear regulation lies at the nexus of public policy, business, and engineering. While current regulatory processes have become fairly effective for the regulation of existing nuclear power plants, the use of prescriptive technology-specific requirements may present a challenge for the licensing and deployment of advanced nuclear power plants. These advanced nuclear power plants can utilize passive systems, new fuel forms or coolants, or other new design features to accomplish their safety and security functions. Advanced reactors may not comply with existing requirements for nuclear power plant licensing due to their departure from the design philosophies and reactor technologies used in existing nuclear power plants. The challenge of licensing advanced nuclear power plants using existing regulatory requirements could increase the time and costs associated with licensing new plants, and jeopardize the commercial viability of the industry.
In this work, the principles of nuclear regulation are presented and discussed in the historical context and evolution of licensing and regulating nuclear power plants in the United States and abroad. The current licensing system for commercial nuclear power plants in the United States is then discussed in detail. Existing and proposed processes for advanced nuclear reactor licensing are presented, and challenges of advanced reactor licensing are discussed. Finally, a methodology is developed and presented for selecting an appropriate licensing pathway for a proposed advanced reactor. Answers to ten characterization questions are used to recommend which existing regulatory tools and pathways available in the United States could enable the most effective licensing of an advanced reactor. The proposed methodology could prove a valuable tool for companies seeking to develop new reactor technologies while minimizing licensing costs, schedules, and related uncertainties.
The methodology is accessible for users with limited experience with (or knowledge of) existing nuclear regulations. The recommendations for policy changes and the advanced reactor pathway selection methodology presented in this work could enable the more efficient licensing and deployment of advanced nuclear reactors.

Stroebele, Elizabeth Kristine. "Identification and characterization of transcriptional enhancers integrating Notch and other developmental signals : regulation of the Drosophila nab locus." Diss., University of Iowa, 2016. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/3197.
Full textAbstract:
Cell signaling pathways are frequently used in multiple tissue and stage-specific contexts during multicellular development. The integration of these signaling pathways by transcriptional enhancers controls the tissue specific gene expression necessary for proper development. Enhancers are segments of DNA that interpret developmental signals to produce patterns of gene expression. A set of operational rules defines how different enhancers targeted by the same signals interpret and act on these signals. Using the Drosophila model system, my thesis work focuses on determining the operational rules used by developmental enhancers that integrate the Notch signaling pathway with other pathways. During development, the Notch signaling pathway in used to pattern cell territories involved in cell fate determination, and plays a role in differentiation. I first used a computational approach to identify a set of candidate Notch-target enhancers. From this set I carefully studied one specific enhancer from the nab gene that integrates the Notch and Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) signaling pathways in the developing wing. This nab enhancer is a part of a cluster of enhancers that work together to drive the global nab expression pattern during development. Each of these enhancers drives the expected expression patterns as well as atypical expression patterns, which are silenced by adjacent enhancers. These results suggest that Notch targeted enhancers are involved in both tissue specific gene activation and gene silencing.

Environmental licensing, in recent years in Brazil, has been the center of the great public debates, exceeding the juridical-environmental field. As a main instrument of the National Environmental Policy, responsible for making the protection of natural resources compatible with the demands imposed by the development of economic activity, the instrument assumed an excessive role in the environmental regulator sphere. However, criticism regarding the instrument is constant, especially in relation to the delay in conducting the procedure and excess of bureaucracy that might jeopardize new investments of projects that would leverage the country´s economic development. In this sense, in spite of specific problems that could compromise the effectiveness of the regulatory instrument, there are a series of structural and instrumental deadlocks that exceed its scope. Nevertheless, discussions on the subject are limited to changing the environmental licensing procedure, through reform proposals that seek to make licensing more flexible. The analysis undertaken in this dissertation intends to consider the structural aspects of the National Environmental Policy, as well as the main obstacles faced by environmental licensing procedure, in order to confirm the hypothesis of the lack of effectiveness of the regulatory instrument. The present work also intend to analyse critically the main legislative proposal regarding environmental licensing procedure, aiming to verify if this proposal has the potential to give greater effectiveness to the regulatory instrument.
O licenciamento ambiental, nos últimos anos no Brasil, vem ocupando a pauta dos grandes debates públicos, exorbitando a seara jurídica ambiental. Como instrumento principal da Política Nacional de Meio Ambiente, responsável por compatibilizar a proteção dos recursos naturais às demandas impostas pelo desenvolvimento da atividade econômica, o instrumento assumiu protagonismo excessivo na esfera regulatória ambiental. No entanto, as críticas ao instrumento revelam-se constantes, sobretudo no que se refere à morosidade e ao excesso de burocracia na condução do procedimento, inviabilizando o aporte de novos investimentos para projetos que alavancariam o desenvolvimento econômico do país. Nesse sentido, em que pese a existência de problemas específicos que comprometem a efetividade do instrumento regulatório, há uma série de impasses de ordem estrutural e instrumental que exorbitam o seu escopo. Todavia, as discussões referentes ao tema limitam-se à alteração de sua regulamentação, mediante propostas de reforma que visam flexibilizar o licenciamento sob o pretexto de solucionar o impasse ambiental. A análise empreendida na presente dissertação pretende considerar os aspectos estruturais da Política Nacional do Meio Ambiente, bem como os principais obstáculos enfrentados na condução do licenciamento ambiental, a fim de confirmar a hipótese da falta de efetividade do instrumento regulatório decorrente destes aspectos. Pretende-se ainda analisar criticamente o Substitutivo ao Projeto de Lei Geral do Licenciamento Ambiental, no objetivo de constatar se a proposta normativa confere maior efetividade ao instrumento regulatório.

Full textAbstract:
This qualitative modified participatory study underpinned by social critical theory explored the experiences of immigrant medical practitioners seeking registration in New Zealand. The occupational science notions of occupation, occupational deprivation and occupational apartheid were used to understand the experiences of the participants. The objective of the study was to understand the experiences of the participants and facilitate their self-empowerment through facilitated dialogue, affording them opportunities for collective action. Data was obtained through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with eighteen immigrant medical practitioners who were doctors and dentists as well as two physiotherapists. The two physiotherapists were sampled out of necessity to explore diversity in findings. Transcripts were analysed using thematic analysis. This method included the processes of coding data into themes and then collapsing themes into major themes which were organised under categories. Four categories were created in the findings describing the experiences of immigrant practitioners and suggesting solutions. Firstly; findings revealed that immigrant medical practitioners had a potential worth being utilised in New Zealand. Secondly; it was found that these participants faced negative and disabling experiences in the process of being registered. Thirdly; the emotional consequences of the negative experiences were described in the study. Fourthly; there were collectively suggested solutions where the participants felt that their problems could be alleviated by support systems modelled in other Western English speaking countries that have hosted high numbers of immigrant medical practitioners from non-English speaking countries. This collective action was consistent with the emancipatory intent of participatory research informed by social critical theory. This study resulted in drawing conclusions about the implications of the participants’ experiences to well-being, occupational satisfaction as well as diverse workforce development initiatives. This study is also significant in policy making as it spelt out the specific problems faced by participants and made recommendations on what can be done to effectively utilise and benefit from the skills of immigrant medical practitioners. A multi-agency approach involving key stakeholders from the government departments, regulatory authorities, medical schools and immigrant practitioners themselves is suggested as a possible approach to solving the problems faced by these practitioners.

O meio ambiente é considerado pela Constituição Federal Brasileira de 1988 como bem de interesse difuso cuja proteção e defesa competem a todos, isto é, ao Estado e a sociedade. Um dos principais instrumentos criado pela Política Nacional do Meio Ambiente em defesa do meio ambiente é o licenciamento ambiental. Este é o principal mecanismo de controle de atividades econômicas potencialmente poluidoras que existe no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro. Trata-se de ferramenta impeditiva da exploração ambiental a qualquer custo, visto que o procedimento administrativo para licenciar as atividades potencialmente poluidoras estabelece critérios que visam preservar e mitigar os impactos ambientais gerados pelo empreendimento. Ante a falta de norma regulamentadora de âmbito nacional essa importante ferramenta de proteção ambiental corre o risco de ser desfigurada com a proposta legislativa que tramita na Câmara dos Deputados, a qual busca flexibilizar as regras para o licenciamento ambiental com a justificativa de que os procedimentos vigentes causam entraves para o desenvolvimento econômico do país. Nesse contexto, o objeto do presente trabalho, diante da proposta de lei que altera as regras do licenciamento ambiental é fazer uma análise dos principais pontos que sinalizam um retrocesso ambiental, suas implicações na defesa do meio ambiente e a quem interessa esse abrandamento no procedimento licenciatório.
The environment is considered by the Brazilian Federal Constitution of 1988 as a property of diffuse interest whose protection and defense compete for all, that is, the State and society. One of the main instruments created by the National Environment Policy in defense of the environment is environmental licensing. This is the main mechanism of control of potentially polluting economic activities that exists in the Brazilian legal system. It is a tool to prevent environmental exploitation at any cost, since the administrative procedure to license potentially polluting activities establishes criteria that aim to preserve and mitigate the environmental impacts generated by the enterprise. In the absence of a national regulatory standard, this important environmental protection tool runs the risk of being disfigured with the legislative proposal that is being processed by the Chamber of Deputies, which seeks to make the rules for environmental licensing more flexible with the justification that the current procedures cause obstacles to the economic development of the country. In this context, the object of the present work, before the proposal of law that changes the rules of the environmental licensing is to make an analysis of the main points that indicate an environmental retrogression, its implications in the defense of the environment and to those who interest this slowdown in the licensing procedure.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis discusses the evolution of the role of the pharmacist in U.S. health care delivery from its early origins to modern day practice. Public policy, education and licensing requirements, and technological advances have substantially shaped the role of the pharmacist and what health care services they provide. Where pharmacists once provided direct patient care when formal modes of pharmacist professionalization did not exist, post-WWII mass production of pharmaceuticals confined pharmacists to dispensing and distribution duties that did not fully utilize their drug knowledge. Consequently, pharmacy educators and leaders have pushed pharmacy practice into an era of “pharmaceutical care,” emphasizing direct patient care activities and the employment of pharmacists’ drug expertise. Pharmacists today have moved back into clinical roles, participating in patient care activities alongside other health care professionals—sometimes even providing primary care services. Due to the U.S.’s growing dependence of prescription drugs and the American public’s continuous demands for high quality care, greater access to health care services, and containment of health care costs, pharmacists will likely acquire greater responsibilities in direct patient care.

Full textAbstract:
Das humane Zytomegalievirus, ist ein ubiquitäres Pathogen, welches akute und persistierende Infektionen verursacht. Bei immunsupprimierten Patienten kann das Virus zu schweren Erkrankungen, wie Hepatitis, Pneumonie und bei kongenitaler Infektion außerdem zu Schädigungen des ZNS führen. HCMV blockiert die Zellproliferation durch einen Arrest am G1/S-Übergang des Zellzyklus, andererseits wird aber gleichzeitig die Expression S-Phase spezifischer Gene aktiviert. Teilweise lässt sich dies durch eine Virus vermittelte spezifische Inhibition der zellulären DNA-Repliaktion sowie durch eine massive Deregulation Zyklin-assozzierter Kinasen erklären. Zellkulturexperimente deuten darauf hin, dass die Zellzyklusalterationen wichtige Voraussetzungen für eine erfolgreiche Virusreplikation darstellen. Es ist hingegen nicht bekannt, welche Relevanz sie für die Virusvermehrung in vivo und das pathologische Erscheinungsbild im erkrankten Organismus besitzen. Diese Frage kann nur in einem Tiermodell sinnvoll angegangen werden. Aufgrund der Wirtsspezifität der Zytomegalieviren, ist man dabei auf die Verwendung der jeweiligen artspezifischen CMV angewiesen. Murines CMV (MCMV) und Ratten-CMV (RCMV) sind dabei die bislang bestuntersuchtesten Systeme. Das Anliegen dieser Arbeit war es zu prüfen, inwieweit die für HCMV beschriebenen Zellzyklusregulationen in MCMV und RCMV auf Zellkulturbasis konserviert sind. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass sowohl RCMV als auch MCMV einen antiproliferativen Effekt auf infizierte Zellen besitzen und ebenso wie HCMV zu einem Zellzyklusarrest führen. Nager-Zytomegalieviren können Zellen auch in der G2-Phase arretieren und in dieser Zellzyklusphase auch effizient replizieren können. Die Infektion mit Nager-CMV führt außerdem auf breiter Basis zur Veränderung Zyklin-assoziierter Kinaseaktivitäten. Allen Zytomegalieviren ist die Hemmung der zellulären DNA-Synthese am G1/S-Übergang durch die Inhibition des replication licensing, dem Beginn der DNA-Synthese gemein. Durch diese vergleichende Studie wird einerseits deutlich, dass wesentliche funktionelle Schritte der Zellzyklusregulation zwischen den Zytomegalieviren konserviert sind, aber andererseits die zu Grunde liegenden molekularen Mechanismen zum Teil deutlich variieren.Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is an ubiquitous, species-specific beta-herpesvirus that, like other herpesviruses, can establish lifelong latency following primary infection. HCMV infection becomes virulent only in immunocompromised patients such as premature infants, transplant recipients and AIDS patients where the virus causes severe disease like hepatitis, pneumonitis and retinitis. Congenital infection produces birth defects, most commonly hearing loss. To develop rational-based strategies for prevention and treatment of HCMV infection, it is crucial to understand the interactions between the virus and its host cell that support the establishment and progression of the virus replicative cycle. In general, herpesviruses are known to replicate most efficiently in the absence of cellular DNA synthesis. What is more, they have evolved mechanisms to avoid the cell´s DNA replication phase by blocking cell cycle progression outside S phase. HCMV has been shown to specifically inhibit the onset of cellular DNA synthesis resulting in cells arrested with a G1 DNA content. Towards a better understanding of CMV-mediated cell cycle alterations in vivo, we tested murine and rat CMV (MCMV/RCMV), being common animal models for CMV infection, for their influence on the host cell cycle. It was found that both MCMV and RCMV exhibit a strong anti-proliferative capacity on immortalised and primary embryonic fibroblasts after lytic infection. This results from specific cell cycle blocks in G1 and G2 as demonstrated by flow cytometry analysis. The G1 arrest is at least in part caused by a specific inhibition of cellular DNA synthesis and involves both the formation and activation of the cells’ DNA replication machinery. Interestingly, and in contrast to HCMV, the replicative cycle of rodent CMVs started from G2 as efficiently as from G1. Whilst the cell cycle arrest is accompanied by a broad induction of cyclin-cdk2 and cyclin-cdk1 activity, cyclin D1-cdk4/6 activity is selectively suppressed in MCMV and RCMV infected cells. Thus, given that both rodent and human CMVs are anti-proliferative and arrest cell cycle progression we found a surprising divergence of some of the underlying mechanisms. Therefore, any question put forward to a rodent CMV model involving cell cycle regulation has to be well defined in order to extrapolate meaningful information for the human system.

Full textAbstract:
Pharmaceutical drugs are often hailed as the poster child for the proposition that patents foster accelerated rates of innovation. This sentiment stems, in large part, from the significantly high research and development (R&D) costs endemic to the pharmaceutical sector. I argue that if the role of the patent regime is one of fostering higher amounts of investment in the R&D process, it is better served by a direct investment protection regime, where the protection does not depend upon whether or not the underlying idea behind the drug is 'new' and 'inventive', the two central tenets of patent law. Rather, any drug that successfully makes it past the regulatory filter ought to be entitled to protection, since its discovery and development entail significant investment and risk. Owing to the inadequacy of the current patent regime in appropriately protecting intensive pharmaceutical R&D investments from free-riders, I propose a comprehensive investment protection regime that protects all the investment costs incurred during the drug discovery and development process. Though similar to existing data protection regimes in some respects, it differs in others. Firstly, it enables a recovery of all R&D costs, and not only costs associated with clinical trials. Secondly, unlike patents and data exclusivity which offer uniform periods of protection, it rewards investments in a proportionate manner, wherein drug originators are entitled to protection against free-riders only until such time as they recoup their specific investments and earn a rate of return on investment that is dependent on the health value of the drug. Given that a pure market exclusivity based investment protection regime is likely to foster excessive pricing and subject the market to the dictates of a single firm, I advocate a compensatory liability model based on a novel cost sharing methodology, where follow-on entrants are free to manufacture the drug, but must pay a reasonable amount of compensation to the originator.

Full textAbstract:
The laws and regulations governing certification of aviation personnel constitute one of the essential elements of aviation legislation. They have a significant effect upon the global safety of the civil air transportation system.This dissertation aims at describing the existing regulations in the field of pilot licensing. Its scope is narrowed down to the highest category of licence applicable to professional pilots and known as the airline transport pilot licence. The thesis depicts and analyses the process of creation and the contents of licensing standards and recommended practices as developed by various ICAO bodies and incorporated in Annex 1 to the Chicago Convention.
The survey of pilot licensing system currently in force in Canada provides the example of domestic legislation applicable in this respect. It is performed with the aim of exploring the compatibility of Canadian law with the global legal requirements as prescribed in Annex 1 and other supporting ICAO documentation.

Previous issue date: 2010-09-06This study approaches the question of the administrative procedure of the environmental licensing of ranks of fuel resale, taking as basis a study case of the reality of the City of Natal/RN (Brazil). For in such a way, it was done a retrospect on the evolution of the system of road transport in Brazil, having started to briefly analyze the urbanization process that if after accented in the capitals of the Brazilian States the decade of 1950, relating these subjects with the growth of the sector of fuel resale. After that, it was transferred boarding of the defense of the national environment to the light of ambient principles constitutional. In the sequence, a boarding on the ambient guardianship in the Federal Constitution of 1988 was made, treating basically specifies and on the national urban politics and the national politics of the environment, with its instruments. In the sequence, it was transferred the analysis of the abilities and attributions of the National Advice of the Environment (CONAMA) and its Resolutions, for then only enter in the most important part of this work: an analysis of the environmental licensing of ranks of fuel resale, in the reality of the City of Natal/RN. Before this specific boarding, it was proceeded specifically a survey and communication from the applicable norms to such establishments (Resolutions of the CONAMA and norms of the ABNT), for after that carrying through an geo-ambient characterization of the City of Natal/RN. Finally, a reflection was made on the possibility of magnifying of the state activity, in terms of guarantees for the responsible members for the environmental policy and of administrative efficiency, through the idea of the ambient regulation. For the accomplishment of this study, it was proceeded research in diverse sources such as books, magazines, sites of the Internet, periodicals, thesis and dissertations, among others material, beyond visits the agencies that direct or indirectly act with the ambient defense and as fuel resale, such as Secretariat of Environment and Urbanism of the City of Natal (SEMURB), Institute of Economic Development and Environment of RN (IDEMA), Brazilian Institute of the Environment and the Natural resources You renewed, Executive Management of RN (IBAMA/RN), Public prosecutor's office of the Environment of Natal (Public prosecution service of the RN), National Agency of Oil (ANP) and Union of the Retailing of Derivatives of Oil of the RN, among others. To the end, satiated regulation is observed that although on the substance of the ambient licensing in ranks of fuel resale, also with federal, state and municipal norms, the municipal Public Power is very far from the fulfilment of its institutional functions, in the question environmental policy of these establishments, a time that few are the permitted ranks of resale in the city of Natal/RN

The strategy adopted for national energy supply is one of the most important policy choice for the US. Although it has been dismissed in the past decades, nuclear power today has key assets when facing concerns on energy dependence and global warming. However, reactor licensing regulations need to be changed to get all the advantages of the most promising technologies. After reviewing the well-known drawbacks of the current regulatory system, the ongoing reforms from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) are presented. We argue that full benefice of modem risk analysis methods could not be obtained unless adopting a more ambitious and risk-based regulatory framework. A risk-based licensing framework is then presented, based on previous research from MIT. Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) analyses are used to drive the design toward more safety, and serve as a vehicle for a constructive discussion between designers and the NRC. Mandatory multilevel safety goals are proposed to ensure that adequate safety and adequate treatment of uncertainties are provided. A case-study finally illustrates how this framework would operate. It is based on the Gas- cooled Fast Reactor (GFR) project developed at MIT. We show how PRA provides guidance for the design. Especially, PRA work makes designers consider otherwise overlooked uncertainties and find proper solutions. In a second phase, a simulation of the review by the regulator is conducted. Few new safety concerns are brought. The discussion shows that the proposed risk-based framework has been effective. However, it also highlights that improvements of PRA methodology and clarification over the treatment of key uncertainties are needed.

A partir de um trabalho descritivo e analítico da estrutura regulatória destinada ao planejamento da expansão da capacidade de geração de energia hidrelétrica e da inserção do paradigma ambiental em tais políticas, tendo como balizador um caso concreto ‒ a construção da UHE São Manoel ‒ esta dissertação almeja questionar se os caminhos trilhados pelos órgãos públicos responsáveis pelo planejamento do setor elétrico e pela avaliação de impactos ambientais causados pela implantação de grandes empreendimentos hidrelétricos são capazes de sustentar a deferência técnica necessária ao desenvolvimento regular dos projetos definidos e desenhados para a expansão da capacidade de geração de energia hidrelétrica. Mais do que a correção técnica dos estudos desenvolvidos, a crença da sociedade na imparcialidade dos órgãos públicos envolvidos em todo o longo processo técnico (de engenharia e ambiental) para instalação de empreendimentos hidrelétricos ‒ pressupondo-se que não haja a contaminação por decisões políticas anteriores ‒ é essencial para que se garanta estabilidade ao processo de expansão almejado pelo Poder Público. Assim, no decorrer deste estudo se questiona a existência de um procedimento administrativo eficaz ‒ seja na fase de planejamento, seja no processo de licenciamento ambiental ‒ para prevenção de controvérsias entre os vários interessados no processo de licenciamento ambiental. Por fim, ao analisar ações judiciais que discutem o processo de licenciamento ambiental da UHE São Manoel, identifica-se que as questões técnicas são relegadas a segundo plano, dando-se ênfase à utilização de princípios constitucionais e ambientais utilizados para justificar qualquer argumento ‒ seja a favor, ou seja contra ‒ em relação à construção de uma usina hidrelétrica.
From a descriptive and analytical work of the regulatory structure built to planning the expansion of the hydroelectric power generation capacity and the insertion of the environmental paradigm in such policies, having as a focal point a concrete case - the construction of the HPP São Manoel, this dissertation aims to question whether the paths taken by public agencies - responsible for planning the electric sector and assessing the environmental impacts caused by the implementation of large hydroelectric projects - are capable of sustaining the technical deference necessary for the regular development of projects defined and designed for the expansion of hydropower generation capacity.More important than the technical correction of the studies carried out by public branchs, is the society's belief in the impartiality of the studies involved in the whole technical process (engineering and environmental) for the installation of hydroelectric projects, assuming that there is no contamination by political decisions. This belief is essential to guarantee stability to the expansion process desired by the Government. Thus, in the course of this study, is questioned the existence of an effective administrative procedure, either in the planning phase or in the environmental licensing process, to prevent controversy among the various stakeholders in the environmental licensing process. Finally, analyzing lawsuits that discuss the environmental licensing process of the HPP São Manoel, we identify that technical issues are relegated to the background, with emphasis on the use of constitutional and environmental principles, which are used to justify any argument, whether in favor or against, the construction of a hydroelectric plant.

Bell, Francesca A. "The requirement to be fit and proper: What does it mean to Australian psychologists?" Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2015. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/2072.
Full textAbstract:
The phrase fit and proper is used in the Health Practitioners Regulation National Law Act (Qld), 2009, which came into effect nationally in 2010 and governs psychologists. As with previous legislation that used the phrase, the legislator does not define fit and proper, leaving it up to each profession to determine its exact meaning and inform the courts accordingly. A review of the literature established that to date no Australian psychologist has attempted to define the construct. This means that Australian lawyers do not get any guidance from psychologists regarding how they should interpret the phrase fit and proper in relation to psychologists. Ideally, however, the beliefs of psychologists as a group should inform any definition of what constitutes a fit and proper psychologist. In the absence of such research, the purpose of this study was to determine Australian psychologists’ understanding of the construct.
During Stage One, semi-structured interviews with 16 Western Australian psychologists explored what they considered constituted a fit and proper psychologist. Using a grounded theory approach, the data analysis revealed 2 superordinate components to fitness and propriety. Participants believed that a fit and proper psychologist had 11 person features. These person features could be split into 3 categories, namely capability, character, and conduct. The second component, termed system issues contained the categories of selection and screening, monitoring, regulation, and prevention and remediation.
The aim with Stage Two was to determine whether other Australian psychologists agreed that the 11 person features described a fit and proper psychologist, and if they did, how they ranked them. A cognitive interviewing strategy was employed to add rigour to the design of a questionnaire and to provide confirmation of the person features constructed from the Stage One interviews. The cognitive interview process established that 2 of the original 11 person features were too broad. As a result, both of these features were split into two, giving a total of thirteen person features that were included in the questionnaire. A representative sample of 226 Australian psychologists completed the questionnaire that collected both qualitative and quantitative data. Participants classified 8 features as critically important and 5 as important features of a fit and proper psychologist, with self-awareness ranked as the most important feature.
An analysis of the qualitative data revealed a third superordinate component, termed moderators. Moderators, such as impact on practice, alter each person feature from a black and white concept to a nuanced and more complex one. Moderators build flexibility into the person features and allow for the role of each in fitness and propriety to alter according to a psychologist’s life stage and circumstance.
Australian psychologists believe that a fit and proper psychologist exists in a professional system comprising psychologists themselves and bodies that perform a variety of functions related to the establishment, development, and regulation of standards in the profession. A fit and proper psychologist possesses 13 key person features that can be maintained because of moderating factors. This understanding has implications for psychologists, service users, regulators, and the judiciary.

The issue of staggered performance of the Brazilian public administration, indeed evident in some cases is extremely worrying from the point of administrative efficiency of decision-making systems and processes of the various sectors that make up its structure. In this line, the general objective of this study is to analyze the dysfunctions caused by the lack of coordination in the exercise of administrative activity by the Brazilian state. However, because the topic is too broad to fit in the narrow confines of a dissertation, choose a specific institutional arrangement to serve the north of this study: the administrative and environmental licensing process for infrastructure projects. The infrastructure projects require a range of permits and licenses issued by numerous agencies or government entity, have jurisdiction to rule, each within their respective area of expertise, and on the basis of various laws. Therefore, the uncoordinated activities of these actors causes considerable economic losses, mainly due to the delay in decision-making, the exaggerated strictness of the requirements and environmental conditions and excessive legalization sector disputes. Thus, the theme-problem of this dissertation is to seek the best legal response to the propositional problem related to the inefficiency of the licensing process for infrastructure projects in Brazil. In this goal, the economic rationale was chosen as theoretical framework. With this expected to formulate proposal that the licensing process for infrastructure projects in Brazil could become a new institutional governance modeling formulated based on the study compared to the US legal system more efficient if it were adopted, whose environmental assessment process is based on interagency coordination and central figure in the so-called lead agency.
A problemática da atuação desconcertada da Administração pública brasileira é deveras evidente em alguns casos, e extremamente preocupante sob o aspecto da eficiência administrativa dos sistemas e processos decisórios dos diversos setores que compõem sua estrutura. Nessa toada, o objetivo geral do presente estudo é analisar as disfunções geradas pela falta de coordenação no exercício da atividade administrativa pela Estado brasileiro. Entretanto, como o tema é abrangente demais para caber nos estreitos limites de uma dissertação de mestrado, escolhemos um arranjo institucional específico para servir de norte deste estudo: o processo de licenciamento administrativo e ambiental de empreendimentos de infraestrutura. Os empreendimentos de infraestrutura demandam uma gama de autorizações e licenças emanadas de inúmeros órgãos ou entidade do poder público, igualmente competentes para decidir, cada qual dentro de sua respectiva área de atuação, e com fundamento em legislações diversas. Por conseguinte, a atuação descoordenada desses atores causa consideráveis prejuízos econômicos, mormente em decorrência da demora na tomada de decisões, do rigorismo exacerbado dos requisitos e condicionantes ambientais e do excesso de judicialização de controvérsias do setor. Destarte, o tema-problema da presente dissertação consiste em buscar a melhor resposta jurídica para o problema propositivo relacionado à ineficiência do processo de licenciamento de empreendimentos de infraestrutura no Brasil. Nesse desiderato, foi escolhida a racionalidade econômica como referencial teórico. Com isso espera-se formular proposta no sentido de que o processo de licenciamento de empreendimentos de infraestrutura no Brasil poderia tornar-se mais eficiente caso fosse adotada uma nova modelagem de governança institucional formulada com base no estudo comparado com o sistema jurídico norte-americano, cujo processo de avaliação ambiental está baseado na coordenação interagências e na figura central da chamada agência líder.

Salako, Abiodun. "The impact of state nurse practitioner scope-of-practice regulations on access to primary care in health professional shortage areas." Diss., University of Iowa, 2019. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/7025.
Full textAbstract:
Primary care physician (PCP) shortages have been a barrier to accessing care for millions of Americans, particularly those living in areas facing the worst shortages - primary care health professional shortage areas (HPSAs). Increased use of nurse practitioners (NPs) has been proposed as a solution to the shortages as NPs can effectively substitute for PCPs. However, this proposal has been hampered by regulatory restrictions on NP scope-of-practice (SOP) that exist in many states. While some states permit NPs to practice and prescribe medications independent of physicians (NP independence), others require extensive physician supervision that limit NPs ability to provide care and substitute for PCPs. Despite the limitations that restrictive regulations pose to improving access to primary care, research evidence of their effect on access in primary care HPSAs is limited. This dissertation fills this gap in the literature.
Using individual-level data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Surveys (1996-2015) and a difference-in-differences approach, I exploit variation in NP independence across states and over time to evaluate the impact of NP independence on access to primary care in HPSAs Further, I examined for heterogeneity in the effect of NP independence between HPSAs and non-HPSAs as well as effect heterogeneity in HPSAs based on individual (age, insurance status, and insurance type) and health system characteristics (availability of primary care facilities and NP Medicaid reimbursement rate)
I find that NP independence led to a 5% increase in the number of individuals with a primary care provider and a 2% increase in the use of non-physicians (relative to physicians) as the primary care provider in HPSAs. However, non-HPSAs experienced no significant changes in access to care. Further, I find evidence of heterogeneity in the effect of NP independence in HPSAs for all three individual characteristics but find no significant effect heterogeneity for any of the health system characteristics. Non-elderly individuals experienced greater improvements in access following NP independence compared to their elderly counterparts, and while both insured and uninsured individuals experienced improvements in access to care, uninsured individuals benefitted more from NP independence. Further, I find evidence of greater improvements in access to care among Medicaid beneficiaries relative to their privately insured and Medicare counterparts.
These findings imply that removing regulatory restrictions on NP SOP could be an effective policy strategy for mitigating the effects of PCP shortages and improving access to care in HPSAs. Further, they demonstrate that NP independence could be a viable tool for addressing access to care issues in two traditionally underserved populations – the uninsured and Medicaid beneficiaries. Beyond addressing access issues, NP independence could also mitigate rising health care costs. The finding of increased use of lower-cost non-physicians rather than their more costly physician counterparts after NP independence indicates that this policy change could also bring about cost savings for society.

У роботі сформульовано концепцію, надано дефініцію поняття «господарська діяльність НЗ»; виокремлено 14 історико-правових етапів процесу формування правового статусу НЗ; визначено як організаційно-господарську природу акта про утворення НЗ; запропоновано застосування непрямих засобів регулюючого впливу держави на діяльність НЗ; виділено інноваційну складову майна НЗ – перспективні майнові активи; наведено нормативні визначення істотних умов договорів за участю НЗ, мінімальних розмірів статутного капіталу для приватних НЗ. Удосконалено положення щодо: ліцензування, майнового забезпечення НЗ, характеристик послуг у сфері освіти. Дістали подальшого розвитку: класифікація НЗ; положення про державне фінансування НЗ; упорядкування функцій органів управління НЗ; пропозиції стосовно утворення об’єднань бібліотек ВНЗ; система засобів правового стимулювання НЗ і роботодавців до підвищення кваліфікації працівників; пропозиції про підвищення ефективності здійснення НЗ освітньої і неосвітньої платної діяльності; визначення меж імплементації норм Болонської декларації; положення про посилення державного контролю за релігійними НЗ; запровадження недержавної фінансової підтримки НЗ; адаптація для України зарубіжного досвіду.Диссертация содержит разработанный механизм решения важной задачи – усовершенствования положений правового регулирования хозяйственной деятельности учебных заведений (УЗ), соответствующего законодательства и практики его применения. Первый раздел посвящен общетеоретическим основам формирования законодательства о деятельности УЗ. Путем анализа базовых категорий сформулирована концепция, определяющая стратегию развития правового регулирования хозяйственной деятельности УЗ в Украине, подразумевающая ориентацию на собственные традиции в образовании и хозяйствовании с учетом зарубежного опыта и международных обязательств, максимальное использование общих принципов хозяйствования, право выбора предпринимательского или некоммерческого статуса, организационно-правовой формы субъекта хозяйствования, расширение прав на осуществление дополнительных видов деятельности, стимулирование сотрудничества УЗ с другими субъектами хозяйствования и др.; приведена доктринальная дефиниция понятия «хозяйственная деятельность УЗ». Определение территориального, религиозного (церковного), национального, специализированного (профессионального) и гендерного критериев способствовало выделению 14 основных историко-правовых этапов процесса формирования правового статуса УЗ. Проведен анализ законодательства в сфере образования. Во втором разделе на основе различных критериев произведена классификация УЗ. Предложено УЗ использовать форму АО, ООО или объединения предприятий, а также создавать ассоциированные предприятия с перекрестным владением контрольными пакетами акций. Определено, что правовая природа акта о создании УЗ является сложной организационно-хозяйственной; рассмотрены пути совершенствования законодательства о лицензировании УЗ; аттестацию сотрудников УЗ предложено считать косвенным средством регулирующего влияния государства на деятельность УЗ, а также признано необходимым привести перечень таких средств в новом подпункте 21 статьи 12 ХК Украины. Сделан вывод о различном объеме компетенции УЗ в отношениях с органами хозяйственного руководства, субъектами хозяйствования и потребителями. В качестве критерия для определения размеров государственной поддержки УЗ избрана доля участия последних в реализации государственных программ и проектов. Предложены направления защиты публичной собственности на рынке образовательных услуг. В составе имущества УЗ определена инновационная составляющая – перспективные имущественные активы. В третьем разделе классифицированы услуги, предоставляемые в сфере образования; выделены виды основной и дополнительной образовательной деятельности, а также иной (необразовательной) хозяйственной деятельности УЗ. Сделан вывод, что образовательная деятельность связана с передачей знаний, умений и навыков. Главным критерием отнесения видов деятельности к этой группе является совокупность действий УЗ, их предоставляющего, а не платность. Приведены характеристики деятельности УЗ. Названы критерии определения степени эффективности выполнения УЗ научно-исследовательских работ и их государственного финансирования. Предложено внести в законодательство соответствующие изменения с целью усиления учебно-научно-промышленной интеграции, создания технопарков, объединений предприятий, направлением деятельности которых будет разработка инновационного продукта и внедрение его в практику. Аргументирована необходимость создания межвузовских объединений библиотек и их электронных фондов. Предложено применять хозяйственные санкции к работодателям и государственным органам в случае нарушения ими законодательства о повышении квалификации и наоборот. Предложено расширить перечень платных образовательных и необразовательных услуг и эффективнее использовать имущество УЗ. В четвертом разделе на основе опыта государств-членов ЕС и других европейских стран для защиты качества услуг УЗ предложено более взвешенно подходить к внедрению рекомендационных положений Болонской декларации; усилить государственный контроль за религиозными УЗ, предоставлять последним государственную поддержку лишь в случае реализации ими государственных программ и заданий. Принимая во внимание законодательство и опыт государств-членов СНГ целесообразным, по мнению автора, будет дополнение законодательства Украины в части: усиления связи с практикой и работодателями; определения существенных условий основных хозяйственных и иных договоров с участием УЗ; введения минимального размера уставного капитала для частных УЗ и др. Опыт США позволил предложить активное внедрение и законодательное обеспечение основ разноуровневого негосударственного финансирования УЗ. Законодательство и практика его применения в государствах Юго-Восточной Азии позволили сформулировать предложения о внесении изменений в соответствующее украинское законодательство, направленных на: финансовую поддержку ВУЗов, достигших уровня мировой элиты; создание технопарков и реализации программ повышения качества услуг УЗ и др.

Раскрыто социальноэкономическое значение страхования в современных условиях трансформации общества. Охарактеризованы административно-правовые отношения в сфере страхования. Осуществлен анализ правовых основ регулирования по лицензированию страховой деятельности. Определены место и функции органов
исполнительной власти в системе предотвращения правонарушений в сфере страхования. Раскрыта сущность и содержание контроля за финансовым состоянием страховых организаций. Проанализирована административная
ответственность за нарушение законодательства в сфере страхования. Обосновано, что регулируя страховую деятельность, государство в лице компетентных органов исполнительной власти реализует свои управленческие
функции, привлекая страховщиков в управленческие отношения классического административно-правового характера, то есть отношения власти и подчинения, где одна сторона является управляющим властным субъектом, а страховщик представляет управляемую сторону, обязанную подчиняться властным распоряжением. При этом управление осуществляется в публичных интересах и управляющая сторона наделена публичной властью. Указано, что органы исполнительной власти представляют государствострахователя в отношениях по обязательному государственному страхованию. Кроме того, на исполнительные органы возложены полномочия по подзаконного административно-правового регулирования отношений по обязательному страхованию и функции административного надзора. Констатировано, что когда в роли страхователя выступает государство,
тогда речь идет о государственном обязательном страховании. Очень важно не смешивать понятия государственного обязательного страхования по обязательному социальному страхованию. Часто государственным называют страхования, в котором функции страховщика выполняет государство в лице
специально созданных фондов. Отмечается, что обязательное пенсионное страхование, обязательное медицинское страхование и обязательное социальное страхование не является государственным в строгом смысле этого слова, поскольку государство в этих отношениях выступает в роли страховщика, а в
роли страхователя выступают частные физические и юридические лица. Поэтому указанные формы страхования, будучи обязательными, не относятся к государственным. Сформулированы предложения, направленные на совершенствование правового регулирования по предотвращению правонарушений в сфере страхования.

O gerenciamento de riscos em uma instalação nuclear é necessário para a segurança de trabalhadores e de populações vizinhas. Parte desse processo é a comunicação dos riscos que propicia o diálogo entre gestores da empresa e moradores das áreas de risco. A população que conhece os riscos a que está exposta, como esses riscos são gerenciados e o que deve ser feito em uma situação de emergência tende a se sentir mais segura e a confiar nas instituições responsáveis pelo plano de emergência. Sem diálogo entre empresa e público, o conhecimento dos procedimentos a serem seguidos em caso de acidente não chega à população, ou quando chega, não há confiança dessas pessoas na sua eficácia. Em Angra dos Reis, no litoral sul do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, está a Central Nuclear Almirante Álvaro Alberto. No entorno dessa Central Nuclear existe uma população que, de acordo com o Plano de Emergência Externo (PEE/RJ), deverá ser evacuada ou ficar abrigada, caso ocorra um acidente na instalação. Um trabalho de comunicação de riscos entre esses moradores é necessário para que eles conheçam o plano de emergência e os procedimentos corretos para uma situação de emergência, além de buscar esclarecer dúvidas e mitos. Esse trabalho apresenta uma análise da comunicação dos riscos feita para a população local, a percepção que ela tem dos riscos e o grau de conhecimento do plano de emergência externo por parte dessas pessoas.

A cultura de segurança na área nuclear é definida como o conjunto de características e atitudes da organização e dos indivíduos que fazem que, com uma prioridade insuperável, as questões relacionadas à proteção e segurança nuclear recebam a atenção assegurada pelo seu significado. Até o momento, não existem instrumentos validados que permitam avaliar a cultura de segurança na área nuclear. Em vista disso, os resultados da definição de estratégias para o seu fortalecimento e o acompanhamento do desempenho das ações de melhorias tornam-se difíceis de serem avaliados. Este trabalho teve como objetivo principal desenvolver e validar um instrumento para a avaliação da cultura de segurança de organizações nucleares, utilizando o Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares como unidade de pesquisa e coleta de dados. Os indicadores e variáveis latentes do instrumento foram definidos utilizando como referência modelos de avaliação de cultura de segurança da área da saúde e área nuclear. O instrumento de coleta de dados proposto inicialmente foi submetido à avaliação por especialistas da área nuclear e, posteriormente, ao pré-teste com indivíduos que pertenciam à população pesquisada. A validação do modelo foi feita por meio da modelagem por equações estruturais utilizando o método de mínimos quadrados parciais (Partial Least Square - Structural Equation Modeling PLS-SEM), no software SmartPLS. A versão final do instrumento foi composta por quarenta indicadores distribuídos em nove variáveis latentes. O modelo de mensuração apresentou validade convergente, validade discriminante e confiabilidade e, o modelo estrutural apresentou significância estatística, demonstrando que o instrumento cumpriu adequadamente todas as etapas de validação.

Recent years, with the popularization of broadband and mobile network services, affordable fees to reach the internet, and the users’ gradually changed habit to watch TV programs, there has been an explosive growth to the industry of OTT Media in Taiwan. The year 2016 has even been praised as Taiwan’s the first year of OTT. However, it has been uneasy for the operators of OTT platforms to get licensed by the copyright owners from the native channels. This article tries to seek for solutions to increase the copyrighted contents of channels on the OTT platforms through both voluntary license and non-voluntary license, so as to reach the goal of diversifying the content on the OTT Media.

The concept of “Patent pools”, with over a hundred years of history, is of substantial importance in a number of key industries including biotechnology, semiconductor, computer software, and the Internet. Accordingly, antitrust issues arising from patent pools have long been the focus of antitrust legislation in various countries. This thesis attempts to compromise the conflicts between Patent Law and Competition Law, and construct the appropriate legal means under Taiwan’s legal system. Chapter I is the preface of the thesis. Chapter II explores the causes and categories of “patent licensing” and “patent pools” based on the nature of patent, and analyzes the pros and cons of patent pools from a legal and economic perspective. Chapter III probes into the nature and history of development of “patent policy” and “competition policy”, and examines the interaction between the two. Most of the current legal theories and court decisions reject the earlier concept that “a fundamental conflict exists between Patent Law and Competition Law”, and hold that both Laws serve a common purpose of “promoting competition and encouraging innovation”. Nonetheless, it is an undeniable fact that there exists a certain degree of conflict and tension between Patent Law and Competition Law in terms of “legal means”. As such, careful consideration should be taken with regard to the regulation of patent licensing under Competition Law. Chapter IV introduces a variety of legal principles constructed under the legal system and case law of the United States. This Chapter covers the following materials: the provisions of U.S. Antitrust Law, the guidelines and reports issued by The United States Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission, as well as some of the classic precedents and recent decisions ruled by the courts. In addition, relevant scholarly opinions are introduced, compared, and reviewed in this Chapter. Chapter V focuses on Taiwan’s regulation of “patent pools” under current law. Based on the well-known “Philips Case”, this Chapter further summarizes the differences between the followings: (1) positions of the parties of the case, (2) view of Taiwan’s Fair Trade Commission (3) decisions of the courts, and (4) opinions of various prominent local legal scholars. Finally, using the principles previously established by this thesis, this Chapter points out the problems of Taiwan’s current legal system in terms of legislation and law enforcement. Chapter VI draws conclusion of the subject. Based on the discussions and analyses conducted in the previous Chapters, several suggestions were being proposed as to the future legislation and enforcement of Patent Law and Competition Law. In short, this thesis envisions to create a more complete and coherent blueprint for Taiwan’s future legal system that not only keeps pace with times but also takes into consideration of the needs of the industries—all in the hope of realizing the ultimate common goal of Patent Law and Competition Law, that is, “promoting competition and encouraging innovation”.

This thesis mainly discusses the factors that may need to be evaluated for the regulation of patent licensing under Fair Trade Act. Firstly, this thesis discusses superordinate concept about the respective functions and purposes of intellectual property law and competition law system respectively. Secondly, it is considered that it may be possible to test whether the above superordinate concept could be implemented in the specific system of the regulation of patent licensing through three checkpoints. The first of the three checkpoints is Article 45 of Fair Trade Act, which defines the regulatory boundaries of Fair Trade Act in relation to patent licensing. By adopting comprehensive measures standard, it is believed that the common purpose of promoting innovation for both intellectual property law and competition law systems could be served. In the second checkpoints, this thesis argues that market forces should be used as a prerequisite for the competition law to intervene in the freedom of contract. It is considered that market power of patent rights or SEP might in fact be weaker than imagined. And the exercise of market power of SEP might be subject to numerous restrictions, including at least authenticity, horizontal, vertical, dynamic competition, and enforcement restrictions. It is also pointed out that, in addition to exploring the potential harm of "patent holdup " to standard implementers, the threats of "reverse holdup" and "holdout" faced by patent holders should also not be overlooked. In the third checkpoint, this thesis holds that rule of reason should be taken as the basis for examining the legality of patent licensing restriction. Besides, compared with foreign countries, which take low market shares as the licensing Safety Zone, failing to set up Safety Zone in our country might bring uncertainty risk of law enforcement. Finally, this thesis examines Qualcomm punishment decision made by Taiwan Fair Trade Commission (TFTC) according to the assessment factors discussed in the above three checkpoints. In the discussion of Article 45 of Fair Trade Act, this thesis holds that TFTC has not proved that Qualcomm''s patent licensing practices server for the main purpose of harming others, and thus may not be consistent with the requirements of "abuse of rights theory". It is doubtful whether the allegation of abuse of rights could be established. In the discussion of market forces, this thesis argues that neither the high market shares nor the holding of SEP seems to be sufficient to prove that Qualcomm has the "ability to exclude competition" in the relevant market, and therefore questions the assertion that Qualcomm has a dominant position. In the discussion of rule of reason principles, this thesis discusses the reasonableness of the three alleged acts, respectively. First, for the allegation of refusal to licensing competitors, this thesis discusses the relationship between "covenant not to sue" and "doctrine of patent exhaustion", and considers that Qualcomm''s licensing practice might not be seemed as equivalent to “refusal to licensing,” and "doctrine of patent exhaustion" may be irrelevant to Qualcomm''s licensing model, and pro-competitive effect of the "covenant not to sue" practice might need to be further considered. It is also pointed that the “essential facilities doctrine” seems unlikely to apply entirely to this case. Secondly, for the no license no chip allegation, this thesis argues that Qualcomm''s patents might be spread over the entire mobile phone system, rather than only covering the chip. Qualcomm requires all potential infringing mobile phone companies to sign license agreement to resolve infringement concerns before providing the chip to them. This act might be a legitimate exercise of the rights of the patentee without anti-competitive concerns. Finally, for the allegation of exclusive rebates dealing with specific undertaking, this thesis argues that TFTC should first evaluate the substantial foreclosure effect, then assess the pro-competitive aspects of loyalty rebates. While obtaining a net competitive effect, the assessment of the illegality of the alleged conduct might be reasonable. It is suggested the criterion of "As Efficient Competitor Test" adopted recently by the European Court of Justice and European Commission might serve as a reference for TFTC to increase the objectivity and persuasiveness of its argument.

This research originates from the progress nowadays, development of communication ,more leisure time available, recreational concepts of our citizens, and increasing opportunities of jobs in food & tourism service with the establishment of National Kaohsiung Hospitality College in 1995, education of domestic food & tourism has been organized and better. The quality of service in food and tourism has been emphasized by consumers and personal related to. Compared with the institutions promoting vocational certificates in food & tourism industry, Bureau of Employment and Vocational Training (BEVT) is more reputable. The tests held by BEVT mainly about skill of technical staff are more persuasive and acceptable than those held by non-governmental organizations because BEVT is official. Among skill tests in food and tourism , tests of Chinese Culinary Arts are held in 1985 and followed by events of beverage-blending, Western Culinary Arts, and food & hotel service. Tests of C- class technician certification are mainly held because basic professionals are virtually needed. Whether the vocational events are increasingly held is related to the demands for professional of Food & Tourism Industry. If yes, the adequacy of rules on tests of the skill of technical staff in Food & Tourism Industry means a lot to the promotion of employers in domestic Food & Tourism Industry and cultivation of talented personnel. A case Study on the adequacy of rules for C-class technician certificated exams. The motives behind this study result from the differences in the current certificated systems between Germany and our country. The reasons why I choose Germany as a contrast is that it is a country with better-developed certificated systems to investigate the adequacy of the rulers intended for the students in the departments of Food and Tourism Industry while taking C-class certificated exams. The following are the five items I want to investigate. I.Examine the adequacy of the professional skills exams taken by the examinees in Food & Tourism Industry from three sides including the employers, government and educators, the authorities concerned and the academic field. II.Make a study of whether this kind of professional skills exams exactly tests out examinees’ true competence at work. III.Investigate its validity and reliability. IV.Organize and analyze the results of the questionnaires to achieves some recommendations, offered to the authorities concerned for future improvement references. V.Provide a few recommendations for vocational educational reforms. The following are six suggestions: I.Professional knowledge :The context for the certificate exam can’t meet the practical demand. II.Written Test : The tests seem to lack in originality. It is suggested that some analyses of vadility and efficiency should be done be done before the formal test. III.Testing Environment: Besides the written tests ,the spontaneous virtual test is also welcome. IV.Marking Level: Any subtraction of the points should be based on the real working process , Ambiguous words should be avoided. V.Occupation Classification : There should be a distinction between the students and adults. VI.Overall Valuation: The results of the exam for restaurant & hotel management are not effective enough. technician certificated exam assessment on a single occupation item is essential.

The aim of this work is to analyse the current provisions on domestic regulation contained in the GATS, as well as to examine the negotiations on future disciplines currently being worked on by WTO members. In particular it aims to see what impact these rules will have on the licensing of telecoms services. In addition the study seeks to investigate whether, on a proper analysis and understanding of the legal texts on domestic regulation, the claims made by some civil society organisations and NGOs are valid.59

Full textAbstract:
This thesis assesses the current status of Canadian prescription drug regulation and the policy drivers that guide this process. This analysis is accomplished by first providing a general survey of the steps, law, and institutional players involved in the full life-cycle of a drug. Next the evolution of current clinical trials and the gaps that the present legal regime creates in the scientific standards employed in clinical research is reviewed. This is followed by a discussion of how commercialization (innovation) and speed of approval (market access) are slowly becoming the dominant policy drivers for the Canadian regime. Finally a discussion of the proposed Progressive Licensing model, and Bill C-51-An Act to Amend the Food and Drug Act, raises the concerns with a shift to a system largely based on risk assessment and post-market monitoring (pharmacovigilence).

Full textAbstract:
Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)This PhD thesis by publications blends the law with public health research, regulatory and political theory to provide a transdisciplinary explication of the controversial regulation of the retail supply of alcohol in New South Wales (NSW) since the commencement of the current Liquor Act 2007 (NSW) in 2008. The critical research focuses on the alcohol industry’s apparently sustained capacity through political lobbying and other means to direct outcomes, including law-making, outlet approval and enforcement requirements, away from the public interest towards their profit and growth interests. This phenomenon is defined as regulatory or industry capture. It attaches multiple layers of detrimental public health, legal and governance consequences. Ineffective industry compliance laws and processes can render the best alcohol-related harm-reduction interventions useless. Significant original academic contributions are achieved by applying a legal phronetic methodology and the synthesis of a capture test. These methods include a micro-level critical analysis of the disproportionate power exercised by alcohol industry elites over the regulatory process. This thesis contributes to the development and application of new methods to better conceptualise regulatory leniency and chill processes. Three published articles and one submitted for publication, evidence the progressive intensification of capture from multiple perspectives of the regulatory chain. This evidence includes the promulgation of laws weakening the independence from government of the leading quasi-legal tribunal, the commodification of the ‘public interest’ into ‘customer convenience’ thereby reducing the objectivity of the outlet approval process, and the weakened effectiveness of an integrated industry legal compliance and enforcement regime. These NSW outcomes support the argument that regulatory capture by industry is a critical risk of profit-driven management of health, one at odds with the overall public interest. The concept of regulatory capture provides an important lens for explication of the inconsistency between public health research findings and government alcohol supply law ‘reforms’.
