Vilao, Maria Cristina G. « Air cabotage : current legal issues ». Thesis, McGill University, 1992. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=22449.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The term air cabotage refers to the carriage of air traffic between two points within the territory of the same state. This carriage is generally reserved to the aircraft of the territorial state and is thus inaccessible to foreign carriers.This thesis gives a brief account of the origins of the concept of cabotage in maritime law and of its introduction in the early international air law conventions.
The thesis then proceeds to focus on the problem of air cabotage in the North-American context and particularly on the current bilateral negotiations between the USA and Canada at which cabotage rights in the USA are being sought by Canada.
It further projects on the EEC context, where air transport liberalization measures toward the completion of a single integrated market will eventually (perhaps very soon) lead to the availability for Community carriers of cabotage rights within any EEC Member State. The creation of a "Community cabotage area" where only Community carriers would be able to carry Community traffic is also analyzed.
Finally, the consequences of these developments are examined as far as EEC Member States' obligations under the Chicago Convention and relations with third states are concerned. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Texte intégralRésumé :
Should civil aviation reach its promising full potential, it will inevitably be through the use and reliance upon Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and its innovative technologies. At present only one option seems clearly and 'directly' operational for the civil aviation challenge, and that is a---USA owned and controlled---GPS based GNSS.This thesis will critically discuss the legal and institutional issues of the GNSS. The issues considered will be based upon the discussions and conclusions recently reached within ICAO. The object of this thesis is to compare, contrast and criticise ICAO's international law-making propositions, related to GNSS, in the fight of the 'practical reality' varying from the users' demands and expectations, passing through the lack of practical experiences, to the USA monopoly as sole basic signal provider.
Whilst ICAO is undeniably a great contributor to global development of civil aviation, it seems that in the case of GNSS implementation, ICAO's role is limited by both its mandate, but equally a lack of political consensus upon potential 'solutions' to hypothetical problems.
The research is based on materials and documents available by the end of May 1997 and does not take into account the later developments in ICAO discussions.

Mousavi, Sameh Seyedeh Mahboubeh. « Suborbital flights : selected legal issues ». Thesis, McGill University, 2013. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=119761.
Texte intégralRésumé :
We will soon be confronted with regular operation of suborbital vehicles. These vehicles constitute a technological novelty for which there is not yet a specific legal framework. Taking into consideration the ambiguity which exits in international law, suborbital flights have fostered lengthy debates over defining the appropriate legal regime to govern the various legal aspects of these flights. Traffic management and environmental protection issues of suborbital flight are among the areas which need to be regulated. The present research tries to give an overview of the legal issues associated with the regulation of suborbital flights and to advance the discussion in the light of possible regulatory scenarios on the environmental and traffic management aspects of these flights. The present study suggests that further clarification and development of the existing legal frameworks for aviation and space activities, careful study of the different aspects of suborbital flights and the foreseeable impacts they might have on different areas including environment and traffic management concerns, as well as possible inclusion of such flights under ICAO's regulatory system are among the considerations which need to be taken into account in relation to regulating suborbital flights.Nous serons bientôt confrontés à trafic régulier de véhicules suborbitaux. Ces véhicules constituent une nouveauté technologique pour laquelle il n'existe pas encore de cadre juridique particulier. Tenant compte de ce vide juridique en droit international, les vols suborbitaux ont suscité de longs débats portant sur la nature du régime juridique requis pour régir les différents aspects juridiques de ces vols. La gestion du trafic des vols suborbitaux ainsi quel a protection de l'environnement comptent parmi les secteurs ayant besoin de réglementation. La présente recherche a pour objectif de fournir un survol des questions juridiques liées à la réglementation des vols suborbitaux et de faire avancer les discussions sur les scénari de réglementation par rapport aux aspects environnementaux et de circulation de ces vols. La présente étude propose la clarification et le développent des cadres juridiques existantes en matière d'aviation et activités spatiales. De plus, elle aborde soigneusement les différents aspects des vols suborbitaux et leurs impacts éventuels sur divers secours, dont l'environnement, et la gestion du trafic. Par ailleurs, l'adoption éventuelle des vols suborbitaux sous le système de réglementation l'OACI représente quelques'un des éléments qui nécessitent une réflexion relative a la réglementation de ces vols suborbitaux.

Martin, Mary Rhoads. « Legal issues in African art ». Diss., University of Iowa, 2010. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/546.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This dissertation surveys the legal and ethical implications of the journey of artworks from Africa to Europe and the United States, beginning with events of the nineteenth century and continuing to the present. It addresses the laws regarding works of art from undeveloped countries, with focus on sub-Saharan Africa. The laws offer insight into what cultural value has been assigned to African art, and the changing laws and ethical norms reflect how African art has been perceived at different times.
This work also discusses to what extent the unique aspects of African art should affect laws protecting the cultural property of sub-Saharan African countries. The dissertation focuses especially on Nigeria, the home of the Kingdom of Benin. It also addresses the legal issues of art from Mali, Cameroon, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It shows when, where, and how the legal issues for sub-Saharan art are similar to, or different from, the legal issues for other regions.
Three spheres of academic endeavor were pursued in producing this work: African art history, ethics, and legal studies. From the combination of these areas emerges a narrative with a broad variety of events and people. Although the story is told chronologically, it is based on a set of legal and ethical issues. The common issues fall into four categories: plunder and illegal import/export; ethical collection and display; authenticity and forgery; and ownership and copyright.
African artworks found their way to the West in the nineteenth century. There they were considered "savage fetishes" and put in ethnographic museums. In the twentieth century, Western artists such as Picasso were inspired by the aesthetics of African art, and private collectors began acquiring it. Now the world's major art museums display African art.
Since World War II, important international conferences have established an increasing level of protection for cultural property, and thus for African art. International conventions have not prevented illicit art traffic, however. The story of the Afo-A-Kom's return to Cameroon in 1975 illustrates the diverging interests of collectors, museums, the public, and the source country.
Forgery has been an increasing problem for African art throughout the twentieth century and into the twenty-first century, fed by the high prices that authentic works receive in auction and at galleries. In 1991, for example, Sotheby's sold a forged terra-cotta ram from Mali for more than a quarter of a million dollars.
Today's attitudes and laws concerning African art reflect a complex interplay of historical events and legal changes over time. From the nineteenth century to current times, some progress has been made. Key issues remain from colonial times, however. Despite a growing body of international and national legislation to protect cultural property, African art is still seen by some as a commodity that can be stolen, illegally exported and imported, forged, destroyed or censored.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This work is concerned with the increasing relationships between two distinct multidisciplinary research fields, Semantic Web technologies and scholarly publishing, that in this context converge into one precise research topic: Semantic Publishing. In the spirit of the original aim of Semantic Publishing, i.e. the improvement of scientific communication by means of semantic technologies, this thesis proposes theories, formalisms and applications for opening up semantic publishing to an effective interaction between scholarly documents (e.g., journal articles) and their related semantic and formal descriptions. In fact, the main aim of this work is to increase the users' comprehension of documents and to allow document enrichment, discovery and linkage to document-related resources and contexts, such as other articles and raw scientific data.
In order to achieve these goals, this thesis investigates and proposes solutions for three of the main issues that semantic publishing promises to address, namely: the need of tools for linking document text to a formal representation of its meaning, the lack of complete metadata schemas for describing documents according to the publishing vocabulary, and absence of effective user interfaces for easily acting on semantic publishing models and theories.

Heywood, Heather Mary. « Appraising legal value : concepts and issues ». Thesis, University of British Columbia, 1990. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/29662.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Historically, legal records were the main focus of archival preservation, and archives served primarily as arsenals of law—instruments for control and management of the State. Today, archives have many different values and uses, and legal value is only one criterion considered during the archival appraisal process. It is an important criterion, though, since archivists have an obligation to preserve not only those documents needed to understand society and its culture, but also those required to protect the rights and interests of society, its institutions, its citizens, and its heirs. Unfortunately, little has been written in the archival literature about what constitutes documentary legal value nor how this value can be recognized and evaluated.
This thesis draws on literature from archival science, sociology, records management, diplomatics, law, and jurisprudence in order to define legal value and to identify its components. Since the study focuses on North American archives, the legal literature consulted pertains to the English legal system and its particular manifestations in the United States and Canada.
To begin with, the thesis examines the document-event relationship and the relationship of this unit to a society's juridical system. This analysis illustrates the functions that documents play in society, and aims to provide an understanding of the capacity of documents to protect society and to serve as legal evidence. It is then proposed that the presence of a relationship between a document and a juridical event (one in which the society's legal system has an interest) be considered the first component of legal value. Perhaps the most important and most useful of the documents having relevance to events with legal significance is the class identified in this thesis as "legal records," consisting of those documents that execute or constitute written evidence of acts and events which directly affect legal rights and duties.
Exploring the first component further, the thesis makes a distinction between actual and potential legal value based on whether the relationship of the document to a juridical event is direct or indirect, and whether the event currently has juridical relevance.
Determining the strength of potential legal value involves consideration of the second and third components of legal value, which are related to the use of documents as
legal evidence. These two components are admissibility and weight (in the sense of a document's effectiveness as a representation of facts). External factors, such as retention regulations, may play a role in determining this aspect of legal value, and some of these factors are discussed. More often though, the archivist will need to search for indications of reliability and completeness in the documentary formation process and in the elements of form intrinsic to a type of document. The thesis identifies many of the internal factors that contribute to legal value and proposes some criteria and a methodology for appraisal of legal value.
Appraisal of legal value is not a mysterious process. With the exception of some diplomatic analysis, much of the information and analysis needed to determine legal value is fundamental to any appraisal process. In a society governed by law in all its aspects, determining legal value is a central part of any archival appraisal.Arts, Faculty of

Vasiliauskas, Martynas. « Legal Regulation of Waste Management : Current Issues ». Doctoral thesis, Lithuanian Academic Libraries Network (LABT), 2011. http://vddb.laba.lt/obj/LT-eLABa-0001:E.02~2011~D_20111213_150226-36315.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The author poses a question whether the current legal regulation of waste is proper. The question is answered by analyzing five issues: variety of the concepts of waste (waste can be perceived in distinct manners and the current concept aggravates the solution of two principal waste problems – danger to the environment and danger to human health); non-systematic use of terms (improper terms are used in Lithuanian legal acts); the jurisprudence of Lithuanian courts in explaining the concept of waste (the courts do not perceive waste properly); the twofold term of the municipal/household waste in Lithuanian legal acts (municipal/household waste is regulated by using the same term, thus it is not clear for which waste persons are taxed); the application of the municipal levy for waste management (the current model does not encourage to preserve the environment). The author concludes that the variety of the concepts of waste, the disagreements among the scholars on the question, the difficulties encoutered by the courts and non-ameliorating status of the environment show that it should be reasonable to discard the current legal regulation of waste. The two principal problems posed by waste and unsuccessfully solved by the current legal regulation are determined principally by the objects which are not in any possesion. Then waste should be perceived as an object which is not in a possesion and the legal regulation should be orientated in making all the objects to have a possesor.Disertacijoje keliamas klausimas, ar esamas atliekų tvarkymo teisinis reguliavimas yra tinkamas. Į šį klausimą atsakoma analizuojant penkis atliekų tvarkymo teisinio reguliavimo probleminius aspektus: (1) atliekų sampratų įvairovę (atliekas galima suvokti labai įvairiai, o dabartinė atliekų samprata apsunkina dviejų pagrindinių atliekų keliamų problemų – pavojingumo aplinkai ir žmogui - sprendimą); (2) nesusistemintą terminiją (teisės aktuose vartojami netinkami terminai); (3) Lietuvos teismų praktiką aiškinant atliekų sąvoką (teismai atliekas suvokia netinkamai); (4) dvilypę komunalinių atliekų sąvoką (komunalinės atliekos teisės aktuose suvokiamos dvejopai, todėl neaišku, už kokių konkrečiai atliekų tvarkymą asmenys yra apmokestinami); (5) vietinės rinkliavos už komunalinių atliekų surinkimą ir atliekų tvarkymą taikymą (rinkliava neskatina asmenų tausoti aplinkos). Daroma išvada, kad atliekų sampratų įvairovė, teisės mokslininkų nesutarimai, ką laikyti atliekomis, teismų patiriami sunkumai nagrinėjant atliekų bylas ir negerėjanti aplinkos padėtis rodo, kad būtų tikslinga atsisakyti esamo atliekų teisinio reguliavimo. Dvi pagrindines atliekų problemas, kurias siekiama išspręsti esamu atliekų teisiniu reguliavimu, iš esmės kelia tik nevaldomi objektai. Tuomet atliekomis reikėtų laikyti tik tuos objektus, kurie nėra valdomi, o teisiniu reguliavimu siekti, kad visi objektai būtų valdomi.

In twenty first century, there are various rights and freedoms that all the people are accomplished with. One of the guaranteed essential rights is freedom of expression.
We need to admit that the more rights you grant the more responsibilities are coming with it. The freedom of expression includes the right to express your views loud through articles, media or internet freely. However, you need to respect the rights of the other people and one has a duty to behave responsibly according to their own views.

Liu, Yu-jen. « Publishing Chinese art : issues of cultural reproduction in China, 1905-1918 ». Thesis, University of Oxford, 2011. http://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:284f18b9-a0ce-4a4a-bdb4-6a1c1ece44ce.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This thesis is an enquiry into the conditions in which various understandings of the newly introduced but vaguely grasped Western notion of ‘art’ emerged and sustained themselves in the name of cultural reproduction in early twentieth-century China. This Western concept of art was translated into Chinese as ‘meishu’, a neologism originally coined in Japanese kanji, and regarded as the embodiment of the ‘national essence’. Through a close examination of five art-related publishing events—the publication of the nationalistic journal Guocui xuebao; the launch of the art periodical Shenzhou guoguangji; the endeavours to compile a book collection on art, Meishu congshu; the making of the text Zhonguo yishujia zhenglüe which claimed to be a history book of Chinese ‘meishu’; and an example of image appropriation from Stephen Bushell’s Chinese Art—this thesis explores the ways in which different ‘neologistic imaginations’ of the term ‘meishu’ were constructed through publishing practices attempting to preserve and reproduce the ‘national essence’, by creating from the existent tradition a category of ‘art’ equivalent to that in the European West. Unlike previous scholarship, which deems any understanding of ‘meishu’ that deviated from the ‘authentic’ European model a ‘misconception’, this thesis sees these disparate understandings of ‘meishu’ as equally valid statements competing for dominance in the discursive field of art. This thesis thus argues that there existed at least three modes of utterances regarding the notion of ‘meishu’ in early twentieth-century China, and that the success of any such given utterance depended upon the acceptance of the authentic quality argued in its strategy of cultural reproduction. This thesis hence not only offers a detailed analysis of each publishing event, but also provides an interpretative framework within which the recognition of these utterances can be analysed by their strategic approaches to claiming cultural authenticity.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Today, public school administrators have the responsibility to provide a safe and secure educational environment for all who enter the school building. Amid continued drug use by students and a proliferation of weapons at school, principals at all levels face the unenviable task of maintaining an environment conducive to learning. In order to do so, principals often must balance the need to preserve individual student rights against the need to make schools safe.;The present study was conducted to determine if public school principals in Virginia meet minimum competency levels with respect to their knowledge of search and seizure law, and to compare the knowledge of search and seizure issues by Virginia public school principals with respect to their organizational level (elemcntary/middle/high). The study was designed also to examine theoretical perspectives by administrators as applied to search and seizure issues.;The study involved responses from surveys received from 91 public school principals in Virginia (37% of the 246 randomly sampled elementary, middle, and high school principals). Analysis of data revealed that one-third of the respondents fell below the mean, that 64.8% failed to achieve minimal competency, with no significant difference between building levels. Pragmatism was selected by 92.3% of the respondents as their legal perspective.

Cao, Zhang. « The legal issues of interconnection in Chinese telecommunications ». Thesis, University of Aberdeen, 2012. http://digitool.abdn.ac.uk:80/webclient/DeliveryManager?pid=186871.
Texte intégralRésumé :
China does not comply with its WTO obligations except in principle and experiences the problem that the incumbent carrier may use technical and commercial mechanisms to maintain market dominance. This is possible because of weaknesses in the Chinese interconnection regulations and difficulties in the application of Chinese anti-competition law to interconnection. The thesis aims to provide a model for interconnection that may be used to deal with the present market dominance in the Chinese interconnection service market. In order to achieve this aim, the thesis identifies the weaknesses in the Chinese interconnection regulations which may be utilized by the incumbent carrier to impede fair competition in the interconnection service market by comparing the Chinese regulations, and the relevant regulations in the WTO Reference Paper and the relevant U.S. interconnection regulations. On the other hand, the thesis also assesses the application of Chinese anti-competition law to interconnection. Consequently the thesis consists of two main parts. Part I includes chapter two, three, four and five. This part focuses on identifying the disadvantages in the present interconnection principles in force in China, technical conditions of interconnection and interconnection charges, and sets out the remedies that will be useful in preventing the incumbent carrier from using technical and commercial mechanisms to maintain market dominance. Part II covers chapter six and seven. This part focuses on the application of Chinese anti-competition law to interconnection, and provides a way to fine-tune the possible disputes rose in interconnection from the perspective of Chinese Anti-monopoly Law.

Balogh, Joseph. « Some legal issues of utility privatisation and regulation ». Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 1998. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/21401.
Texte intégralRésumé :
1. So far as the utilities sector is concerned, privatisation is NOT the antithesis of nationalisation: the state does not withdraw from the provision of telecommunication, electricity, gas and water services after privatisation. The Secretary of State is a key decision-maker and seems to interfere with the running of utility companies. 2. The main forms of government interference post-privatisation are: i. regulation, ii. residual government stakes, iii. Golden shares, iv. Government Appointed Directors and v. liberalisation of utility services. 3. Privatisation legalisation provides that disappointed utilities or their customers may apply for judicial review. The thesis will argue that judicial review is NOT the best dispute resolution technique in Britain: as a main rule judges do not intend to be involved in the regulatory game. 4. It is an open question how the overall success of a privatisation project shall be assessed. There are a number of transactions which do not live up to expectations. The thesis will consider some of them and will try to explore what alternative privatisation techniques would have been available. 5. The English and Welsh electricity sector has been reorganized five years after the initial disposals: ten regional electricity companies have been taken over. The thesis will analyse the "Big REC Race" in detail. 6. Utility privatisation in Central and Eastern Europe will be on the agenda in the near future. The thesis will discuss the sale of the Hungarian gas distribution companies - the main question here will be how utility privatisation may be transplanted to Central and Eastern Europe. This part of the thesis will make a number of comparative points.

Schools and school officials are not immune from the substantial increase in litigation that has occurred over the past few decades in the United States. Public school administrators need to understand the laws that affect their daily decisions and actions. However, most of the available resources on the law are designed for attorneys and other legal experts. The objective of this project is to create a single text for Massachusetts public school administrators that addresses the major legal issues, las and court rulings that apply to their daily decisions and actions. This publication is not designed for attorneys. It is intended to be reader-friendly, and therefore the legal jargon is kept to a minimum. Please note that this text is for informational purposes only and is not intended as legal advice. If you are in need of legal advice, you should contact an attorney. The process for determining the appropriate content for this publication involved initial research on the primary legal issues facing public school administrators, and also interviewing several Massachusetts public school administrators for their input. (A description of the study and the findings is in Appendix A.) Once the subject matters were determined, extensive legal research and analysis were conducted to find appropriate court decisions, statutes, administrative regulations, arbitration rulings and articles relevant to the selected subject areas. When this was done, the dissertation was written covering the following topics: public school administrators' need to understand tre law; an overview of the legal system; issues related to teachers, such as hiring, firing and suspensions; issues related to students, such as student discipline, suspensions and expulsions, and special education; students' constitutional rights; other important matters for school administrators, such as the requirements for reporting abuse, student records and individual liability; and worthwhile resources including contact information. This publication is intended to be a valuable resource for Massachusetts public school administrators. They will obtain an understanding of the relevant laws, and this knowledge will enable them to be more effective administrators and more comfortable in addressing the numerous issues they face on a daily basis.

Texte intégralRésumé :
As you probably know, to board the B777-300ERi in Geneva for Anchorage via London, is not just that simple. With your ticket you bought several days before, you come to the airport, check in, pay airport's fees, go through the customs and security checks, walk in the terminal following signs, maybe you stop in the duty free shops, and finally find your gate. By this time, you are ready to board, about one hour after you enter the airport.We will be essentially interested in air law that is why, the purpose of this master's thesis is to consider the legal aspect of facilitation in civil aviation. The term facilitation refers to the process that passengers, crew, luggage, cargo and mail have to go through when they cross borders to fly from a point A to a point B.
Recently, an aspect of facilitation took an outstanding importance: health issues. At the end of last year, the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) outbreak was a real threat to international civil aviation because passengers (and crews) could have been exposed to an infected person inside the terminal or on board the plane, also, aircrafts were considered a fast vector of this disease through the world. The economic consequences for airlines and airports were very painful.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Elderly care is one of the more high profile contemporary issues that confronts care professionals, the Government and its citizens. Central to these are concern how care is best regulated and the cost effectiveness of decisions to cut care delivery across the public and private sectors. Defining what constitutes good care delivery is a continuing challenge to health care managers and staff, as the benchmark is in constant flux due to advances in modern medicine and the progression of new and dangerous ill-health conditions. Culture, personal values and expectation changes from generation to generation also blur the definition of what constitutes good care. This thesis offers a contemporary analysis of care and examines how regulatory systems have been too ad hoc and often retrospective; leading to deficiencies in the pro-activity and holistic response elderly care requires to tackle its issues. This is one of the most rapidly evolving areas of regulation in a period of intense media attention and public concern over elderly care. A considerable degree of permanence can be identified towards the action plan of the Government in engaging a variety of reactionary regulatory strategies. In the later analysis in the thesis, it is suggested that additional specialist and dedicated regulation may still prove to be necessary to secure care quality and undertake preventative measures against the abuse of this vulnerable section of the community. Public concern and medical interest continues to reveal cases of severe neglect of the elderly in many private care homes. The Care Quality Commission, the main regulator since 2009, undertakes inspections and reports on care quality, but doubts remain as to how effective the measures in place guard the quality of care in practice. The second Francis Report on the Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation (5th February 2013) highlighted many failings in the National Health Service and showed how the most vulnerable and elderly to be particularly at risk. Reports of poor care of the elderly continue to confirm that stricter monitoring and inspections are needed. The aims and objectives of this thesis, are to understand how elderly care regulation has addressed systemic regulatory failures and provides a case study of lessons learnt from past omissions and mistakes. At the time of writing, the Care Quality Commission has undertaken tougher inspection regimes by currently adopting a system of special measures, and new regulations are being considered. Over its approximately six years of activity since it ‘plugged a regulatory hole’ it’s now progressively much improved inspectorate function has even just embraced ‘whistle-blowing’ as part of its ‘work in progress’ profile. There is continued pressure on the regulator to meet expectations of ensuring high quality care, and it is also a response to the changing role of care homes; reflecting the diverse range of care and the ageing population. This thesis provides an analysis of how elderly care has evolved over many centuries and varied in its standards of delivery. Defining appropriate levels for care standards is one approach, adopting a holistic approach is another, but the culture of care is one that needs to be fostered through family members who are often engaged in the delivery of elderly care, as well as the community at large. Developing care through purely legal mechanisms, such as the setting of care standards has its limitations, but will undoubtedly also feature as part of any perceived solution. There are signs that the changing culture in care homes and those that provide care, is a recent and most welcome shift in regulatory goals and objectives. It is argued that this change reflects positively on the current care system which has been driven by some better education of care workers and greater empathy with the elderly; an empathy which is driven by the growing reality with every new generation that most of us will live well into our elderly years due to the advancement of modern medicine. Reflected also is increased lack of trust in people, where in the past assumptions about care delivery standards by individuals were relied upon instead, and how to engage with the continuous re-design of oversight regulatory structures issues of legitimacy and increasing public trust. The Care Quality Commission is developing its own identity and offers a form of social regulation that is set apart from the main economic regulators. There are many lessons which can be learnt when working from within the National Health Service through the use of internal networks, access to current government policy and funding arrangements. Despite strong ministerial engagement in this area, the Care Quality Commission has been able to maintain its own voice and, in recent months, has developed its expertise to address public concerns about elderly care. Despite this, the statistics show that at least one third of care homes are regarded as less than satisfactory, suggesting that much work remains to be undertaken. Co-ordinating clinical and social care of the elderly is part of patient safety. It also connects with regulating the professional standards of health and social care professionals.

Egba, Emmanuel E. « Land, minerals and environment in Nigeria : contested legal issues ». Thesis, Anglia Ruskin University, 2018. http://arro.anglia.ac.uk/703822/.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This study investigates landownership, mineral and environmental contested legal issues in Nigeria. Examining aims Land Use Act gives governors control over land while Constitution leaves minerals ‘only’ to the federation, severing minerals from ‘state or private-ownership’. The Act authorises compulsory land acquisitions for public purposes including mineral exploration. But Constitution supports individual’s rights over movable or immovable property and authorises compensations for compulsory acquisitions. Nevertheless, it makes enforcement of environmental rights non-justiceable by disallowing anyone to enforcing it. The ambiguities in these laws resulted to contests of landownership, mineral control and environmental degradation which the author examines. Effects of splitting minerals from landownership caused non-passage of Petroleum Industry Bill, poor implementation of Local Content Act among others were discussed. The author adopted doctrinal methodology, implementing three techniques involving finding, reading and updating the laws to give best results. We made comparisons with other legal systems because, the thesis involves diverse legal and social doctrines. This enabled the author to comparatively analyse Nigeria landownership, mineral and environmental regimes. Researcher noted effects of ‘mineral-landownership’ split and gaps in Nigeria laws which propelled her courts to take on foreign decisions in settling mineral litigations. We found that non-oil mineral law considers community in mining-lease. This was not provided under ‘petroleum’ laws. Again, the splitting statutes have led to loss of property and environmental rights in Nigeria. The law did not secure state land rights. It promotes cycle of poverty by giving federal exclusive authority over mineral exploration against state right over land. Compensations for compulsory land acquisitions were not well spelt out because of federal legislative power over minerals and interests it generates. These resulted to landlessness, discontents, contests and litigations. The researcher concludes that the existing laws cannot adequately tackle issues of landownership, mineral and environmental management in Nigeria thus require reformation.

Soto, Gomez Liliana. « Regulation of biobanks in Mexico : ethical and legal issues ». Thesis, University of Leeds, 2016. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/16849/.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This thesis investigates the governance of biobanks in Mexico, exploring elements of legislative reform for the improvement of current legal and ethical guidance. It argues that the great benefits to be obtained from research using biobanks (e.g. personalised or stratified medicine) are at risk of being undermined by the absence of clear legal pathways. A number of legal and ethical issues have emerged from the different aspects of biobanks. Diverse theoretical approaches are reflected in academic literature and heterogeneous legislation of biobanks around the world. Specific binding rules have worked for some, whereas self-regulation has proven suitable for others. Social solidarity has played a key role in innovative biobanking law and decision making, in which traditional governance approaches have become more reflexive, involving not only law and policymakers, but also the public. A detailed legal analysis revealed significant gaps within the complex Mexican laws governing biobanks; this has caused confusion. Areas of concern were identified in relation to the ethical management of research samples and the protection of donors’ rights. This is concerning in Mexico where economic interests influence legal reform, giving way to opportunistic actions by the international pharmaceutical industry and leaving vulnerable populations unprotected. The greatest challenges for Mexican legislators are finding ways to respond to legal gaps with new laws and improving the effectiveness of existing rules. Due to the scarcity of literature on the topic, interviews were conducted with representative actors in strategic areas. Participation in the European Union research network BTCure enabled the inclusion of a study investigating how European experiences can be valuable examples for Mexico to follow. The results of this research indicate ways forward for Mexican governance, which are expected to influence further legislative reforms of biobanks.

Mohubbat, Valiyeva Gunel. « Legal Issues Arising From the Commercialization of Cultural Heritage ». Thesis, National Aviation University, 2021. https://er.nau.edu.ua/handle/NAU/48737.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Cultural heritage and natural resources belonging to indigenous people and local communities may constitute significant contribution for them. However, commodification of cultural heritage has both positive and negative impacts. Appropriation, loss of culture, pseudo-culture, loss of the authenticity of the culture, exclusion of the heritage owners to get benefits and economic gains, commodification of the culture and loss of identity of indigenous communities are some of the problematic issues. However, concerns on responsibility, regulations of trade in relation with cultural heritage, sustainable development, preservation of culture, conservation of cultural and natural heritage raised by the world community in different levels (such as academician, lawyers, nongovernmental organizations, etc.) create opportunity to find solutions for reconciliation between the culture and commerce.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Sharing music with friends and family has always been a popular activity. Under most copyright laws, sharing physical media with friends and family has always been seen as a 'fair use' - a set of usage patterns that have been traditionally considered to be exceptions to copyright law. With the advent of digital music in the early 1990's sharing of music became redefined. Whereas sharing of physical media meant that only one person could use the media at the same time, sharing digital music involved permanent reproduction of the music files. Thus, sharing digital music equated to reproduction and distribution of music. With the invention of the mp3 standard, the size of digital music files became much smaller without a noticeable compromise of quality. Thus reproduction and distribution of digital music became faster and even easier. [...]

Elleven, Russell K. (Russell Keith). « Student Legal Issues Confronting Metropolitan Institutions of Higher Education ». Thesis, University of North Texas, 1996. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc277754/.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This study examined perceptions of student legal issues confronting metropolitan institutions of higher education. The data for the study were collected using a modified version of Bishop's (1993) legal survey. The sample for the study consisted of 44 chief student affairs officers and 44 chief legal affairs officers employed with the 44 institutions affiliated with the Coalition of Urban and Metropolitan Universities. Frequency counts and percentage distributions were employed to analyze the data. Chief student affairs officers and chief legal affairs officers have very different perception as to the most likely student legal issues to be litigated in the next ten years. Chief student affairs officers found few student legal issues highly likely to be litigated in the next 10 years. Affirmative action, sex/age discrimination, fraternities and sororities, and disabled students were the only student legal issues at least 20 percent of chief student affairs officers believed to be highly likely of litigation in the next ten years. Chief legal affairs officers believed many student legal issues would be litigated in the next 10 years. At least 20 percent of the chief legal affairs officers believed admission criteria, affirmative action, reverse discrimination, sex/age discrimination, athletic tort liability, Title IX, defaulting student loans, defamation, negligence, academic dismissals, academic dishonesty, cyberspace issues, and disabled students to be highly likely of litigation in the next ten years. Chief student affairs officers and chief legal affairs officers prepare very similarly for future student legal issues they may confront in the future. There is a large amount of crossover between professional conferences of chief student affairs officers and chief legal affairs officers. Student affairs and legal affairs officers will attend professional conferences of both groups in order to stay abreast of student legal issues. It appears chief student affairs officers are not prepared to confront many of the student legal issues highly likely to be litigated in the next ten years.

Lawson, Stuart. « Library publishing services : An investigation into open access publishing in academic libraries ». Thesis, 2013. http://eprints.rclis.org/25156/1/Lawson2013_dissertation_LibraryPublishing.pdf.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The aim of this research is to investigate whether it is feasible for a UK university to publish its research output itself through an open access library publishing service. It achieves this by undertaking a qualitative study at one institution, Anglia Ruskin University. It identifies the scholarly communication needs of the institution and its academics, and evaluates whether a library publishing service meets these needs. It also assesses the potential level of support for such a service within the university and recommends actions to take.
The literature review explores the idea of library publishing and places this research in a wider context. Given that the policy context in the UK is putting increasing pressure on researchers to publish open access, this dissertation examines whether creating a library publishing service is a good way for an institution to facilitate this.
This is a qualitative study consisting of five semi-structured interviews which were transcribed, coded and analysed. The results show mixed support for open access because although researchers support it in principle, they are unwilling to change their practices if they think that doing so might harm their reputation. One of the primary needs that they have from the scholarly communication process is to perform well in the REF. Other needs identified by this research include: being seen by one's peers; having access to an appropriate range and scope of publication outlets; a strong quality control process governed by peer review; and support with managing the publication and post-publication process. A library publishing service can meet these needs as long as it is designed with them in mind. Existing library publishing services can be used as a guide to best practice.
In answer to the aim of the research: creating a library publishing service at Anglia Ruskin University is feasible and could provide a valuable service to the university and its researchers. The question of whether there is sufficient support for such as service among academics at Anglia Ruskin University is still uncertain and requires further research to answer. The recommendations for Anglia Ruskin University are: to create a research support post in the library, to conduct a survey of academic staff to further investigate the level of support for library publishing, and to initiate a journal hosting service.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The introduction to technologies of information and communications (TICs) in the processes of exchange of reffered academic information necessarily would produce a change from the paper pattern to the electronic one. CENIC journals, Biological and Chemical Sciences, were the first Cuban journals to be published in CD-ROM pattern. Notunthstanding, the need for indexation of serial publications from the Ministry of Higher Education in fulltext database in Internet, with the aim of obtaining a wider visibility of Cuban science, has been manifested. This paper had the aim of knowing the opinion of the authors and readers of the CENIC journals, about the kind of fulltext database available in the World Wide Web where the journals should be pesented, as well as evaluating the skills of the researchers for search, recovery, organization and elaboration of electronic documents, and on the basis of these analysis to create the procedure for the publication of CENIC Journals in Internet and its incorporation to Fuente Académica database, belonging to EBSCO Host, one of the most prestigious database at international level.

Allen, James. « Interdisciplinary differences in attitudes towards deposit in institutional repositories ». Thesis, 2005. http://eprints.rclis.org/6957/1/FULLTEXT.pdf.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The attitudes and behaviours of academics from different disciplines towards depositing their work in institutional repositories are compared. This is achieved through the use of a survey strategy, and by examination of the contents of a twenty-five UK institutional repositories. The survey targets humanities academics, and the data is compared to that from previous surveys focusing on scientific, technical and medical (STM) disciplines.
The number of humanities documents in institutional repositories is currently far lower than that in STM disciplines. Awareness of Open Access amongst humanities academics is also low. However they perceive many advantages to depositing their work in institutional repositories, especially for the reader, not for themselves. Around two-thirds of respondents would deposit work in institutional repositories, despite having several concerns. Those who would not deposit work in this way perceive the same disadvantages: potential for plagiarism, the apprehension of interfering with publishing their work elsewhere, and the fragility of online means of dissemination.
Increased depositing in institutional repositories in the future depends on encouraging authors of the advantages of doing so, not only to others but also to themselves. At this early stage of development understanding the attitudes of academics in different disciplines is crucial.

Texte intégralRésumé :
In the field of scientific publishing, the model of open access can provide accelerated distribution of scientific information without access barriers. The open access movement can be seen as a new publishing system reaching back to the attempt to establish alternatives to the present publishing system. The aim of this thesis is to give an overview of initial open access projects in Austria regarding crucial issues as well as their developments. Case study interviews with open access project managers have been carried out. Furthermore, the collected data was enriched with additional project information and analysed in a further step. Consequently, the retrieved information was compared to each other. Regarding to open access developments worldwide this thesis results in a summary and comparison of open access projects in Austria. It provides recommendations for the introduction of open access and an outlook of further developments.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This thesis deals with metadata standards for e-learning and its aim is to compare two Rels (rights expression languages) for learning objects, Mpeg21 Rel and Onix for licensing Terms, as an initial step towards a desirable creation of an interoperable language for the expression of digital objects usage rights. As the entire work is addressed to a wide range of audience, the first part of the thesis deals with some elementary concepts as the one of "learning object" and how to create it.
Subsequently, it describes LOM (Learning Object Metadata), the standardised and widely used language for the expression of metadata, and underlines the necessity of an integrated language for expressing the multiple scenarios of rights exchange, as LOM doesn't provide enough records for embracing this complexity.
The core part of the thesis is the languages comparison, made through the creation of two licenses expressing the same scenarios with the different syntaxes of the two Rels.
Then, there are some final considerations, aiming to be some of the key points to know whether elaborating a new interoperable Rel.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This research seeks to know the status of implementation of the Marrakesh Treaty to facilitate access to published works for people who are blind, visually impaired or have other difficulties in accessing printed text and its impact on libraries in Latin America. The current situation of the Marrakesh Treaty in the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean will be analyzed, determining the cases in which it has been implemented, and in which its implementation is pending, establishing for this a graphic visualization map. The problems that persist in the countries in which the implementation of the MT is still pending are identified. Tensions of rights in the Latin American intellectual property system are identified, with special emphasis on the Argentine national context. This tour allows us to suggest a series of proposals and consensus solutions for the effective implementation of the TM in Argentina and Latin America and the Caribbean.

Texte intégralRésumé :
In this doctoral research proposal the author deals with "Open Access", a vision of a free online availability of scholarly journal literature that has been put forward in the early 2000s. More than a decade later, Open Access has gathered momentum and became a widespread phenomenon with several (inter-)national strategies currently being pursued towards a radical transformation of the academic publishing world. Should the extreme scenario as proposed by some actors succeed, budgets of academic libraries would be fully shifted from conventional journal subscriptions model ("pay-to-read") towards publishing all research articles in Open Access journals ("pay-to-say"). However, the effects and dynamics that such a transition would unleash in the global knowledge regime remain largely unexplored. In order to answer the research questions, ongoing negotiations on Open Access publishing between the Association of Universities in the Netherlands (VSNU) and the academic publisher Elsevier as well as Dutch researchers' perceptions on the implications of these negotiations for their own publication practices will serve as empirical basis. Situational analysis developed by Adele E. Clarke (2005) will be used as an overall frame for data collection and analysis.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Scientific dissemination and scientific publications serve to channel the produce and facilitate entry to the scientific field. In an academic institution, a scientific publication provides greater visibility and allows to position itself in the area of knowledge to which it belongs. Thus, it enriches by the contact with other institutions and the exchange of all types of material.
This study aimed to know the conditions of relevance, feasibility and viability of a scientific publication in the School of Information Sciences (National University of Córdoba). To do this, we attempted to establish, first, the state of the art in scientific publications, publicize the position of the National University of Cordoba and, finally, to identify concrete the possibilities which has The Sciences School Information (ECI) for a publication of this kind.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This study adopts a qualitative approach and uses the case study method. Fourteen researchers and librarians were interviewed in four organizations in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
The responses based on the semi-structured interviews provide information about the current status of scholarly communication, the awareness of researchers and librarians about open access and the actual and potential challenges in implementing open access strategies in Ethiopia. This research is believed to illuminate the practicalities and procedures of how open access scholarly communication models could foster and support knowledge sharing and collaboration among Ethiopian researchers.
The results of the study show that Ethiopian researchers suffer from lack of adequate access to scholarly literature. There is also lack of scholarly communication outlets to publish and disseminate their research results. This study reveals that the current scholarly communication system in Ethiopia is faced with technological and social challenges. Open access is proposed as a viable alternative for Ethiopia. The research indicates that if Ethiopian universities and research institutions adopt open access policies and strategies, it would help them improve the access and dissemination of scientific research results. A concerted effort is required from administrators, librarians, researchers, funding agencies and government to implement and fully harness open access in Ethiopia.

Texte intégralRésumé :
‘Rethinking intellectual commons’ analyzes, from a socio-technical view, the legal-political tensions that arise between the appropriation and release of intellectual goods and works in the digital age. This thesis describes the processes of co-construction between regulations on authorial and copy rights and digital technologies oriented to manage these rights. For this purpose, three cases which evince the conflict between the appropiation and the release of intellectual goods, and show the processes of co-construction, are analyzed. The first case of analysis is an anti-copying artifact designed by the trading corporation Sony-BMG Music Entertainment. The second one is the open licensing system of selective reservation of authorial and copy rights of Creative Commons Corporation. The third one is the management system of intellectual works in the virtual world called Second Life. The new regulative forms linked to the design of technologies define the political, cultural, social and economical future of our societies. This thesis aims at encouraging and strengthening these legal-political and technological discussions on the regional and global scale.

Pretorius, Diederika 1951. « Surrogate motherhood : legal issues ». Thesis, 1991. http://hdl.handle.net/10500/22948.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Surrogate motherhood is one of the most controversial issues
of our time. The increase in infertility and the shortage of
babies available for adoption, have provided an incentive
for research in assisted reproductive techniques. Rapid
advances in this field have caught the legal system
unprepared in many ways.
The object of this thesis is to investigate the legal
aspects of surrogate motherhood. A background is provided
by an in depth examination and analysis of the practice of
surrogacy in foreign jurisdictions. For this purpose a
selection of interdisciplinary, medical and juridical
reports, court decisions and legislation is analysed.
The surrogacy agreement is affected by principles of both
public and private law. As the agreement is based on
consensus between the parties, Roman Law principles of the
law of obligations, provided a valuable point of departure
in establishing a theoretical basis for the classification
of surrogacy agreements. Having determined the nature of the
agreement, the content is analysed with due regard to
statutory and other relevant considerations, such as the
boni mores, and submissions made regarding the
enforceability and legality of such agreements.
A surrogate mother agreement model is proposed and analysed
in the light of existing South African law. The various ways
in which surrogacy contracts may be breached are examined
and recommendations put forward regarding possible delictual
or contractual remedies.
The legal relationship between the surrogate child and its
gestational (birth) mother and her husband on the one hand
and the intended parents on the other is investigated.
The role of the courts in custody issues - related to
surrogacy - is examined and recommendations put forward as
to how they may be included in the process by determining
the best interest of the surrogate child prior to artificial
insemination.
The civil and criminal liability of medical practitioners
involved in assisted reproductive technology and
specifically surrogacy are expounded. Key issues in the
practice of surrogate motherhood are interpreted in the
light of existing statutory and common law principles.
Recommendations are put forward on these issues and a bill
proposed for the regulation of surrogate motherhood in South
Africa.Private Law

The purpose of this master’s thesis is not only for dealing with legal issues of UAVs, but also for bridging the airspace law’s knowledge gap in Taiwan because we seldom accessed to National Airspace System in the past. In the beginning, this thesis is viewing from the angle of airspace, and the scope of discussion is from airspace law, space law and to the low-altitude airspace right law. Moreover, as the impact of UAVs on human life, torts inevitably need to be mentioned. Along with the private and the government’s frequent use of UAVs, there will be lots of issues between aerial surveillance and privacy. In conclusion, we can learn that, according to the result of the previous discussion, there will be some advice for Civil Aviation Authority and Congressional legislation in Taiwan.

The high value of art has made illicit trade in art as an attractive business for criminals. Because of a low recovery rate and few arrests, problems in antique trade become even worse. There are several elements facilitating widespread art theft and low recovery numbers. Artworks are mobile, and easily hid, stored and resold.
