Pelaksanaan Sistem Pengawasan Hakim Konstitusi Di Indonesia, Al Amin Syayidin Ali Mustopa

Jurnal Konstitusi & Demokrasi

The supervision system for constitutional judges in Indonesia based on the 1945 Constitution and Law 24/2003 explicitly involves two forms of supervision, namely internal supervision by the Honorary Council and external supervision by the Judicial Commission. The supervisory system finally changed after the Constitutional Court Decision Number 005 / PUU-IV / 2006. After this decision, the supervision system for constitutional judges in Indonesia underwent a substantial change in the form of supervision that eliminated external supervision. The existing internal supervision system often changes in accordance with the current statutory regime and implementing regulations. Changes related to the existing internal supervision …

Kerangka Praktik Kenegaraan Dalam Narasi Apriori Pembangunan Berkelanjutan Sebagai Hak Konstitusional: Sentralisasi Pendekatan Ekosentris Dalam Melawan Kenisbian Utilitas Pendekatan Antroposentris, Abdurrahman Al-Fatih Ifdal

Jurnal Konstitusi & Demokrasi

Sustainable development is a colossal narrative of state elites to institutionalize the right to development which, instead of being oriented towards harmonization of development efforts with efforts to protect the environment, is actually based on human interests. The inherent causality of this effort has an impact on systemic environmental damage in various countries. When the environment is no longer able to recover itself according to the timeline of meeting the needs of human civilization, an ambitious approach such as ecocentrism needs to be used as a counter-narrative to the anthropocentrism approach which tends to be relative: it looks useful, but …

Don't Tread On My Ip Rights: A Law And Economics Analysis Of "March-In Rights" Under The Bayh-Dole Act, Caitlin Grow

Cleveland State Law Review

The Bayh-Dole Act has been imperative to the development of the United States’ dynamic pharma-biotech sector. However, the use of march-in rights under the Bayh- Dole Act has remained controversial. On the one hand, there is the idea of market equilibrium with a need to secure health care for the public. Many believe march-in rights should be used to create this balance by regulating the pricing of drugs that were developed using federally funded research. On the other hand, some advocates recognize that the current relationship between public-sector institutions and business as the developers of basic research, and private-sector biotechnology …

Defining Genetic Information Under Gina, Shane Padilla

Cleveland State Law Review

The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) was enacted to prevent discrimination based on an employee’s genetic information. Although GINA undoubtedly provides employees protection from unjust genetic discrimination by employers, varying interpretations of what constitutes “genetic information” has raised legal uncertainties in how GINA is applied. Consequently, the genetic information of an employee’s family may be unduly placed at risk as a result of misinterpreting the statutory language and legislative intent of GINA. It is of the utmost importance that the definition of “genetic information” be construed with respect to the Act’s legislative history, which supports a broad interpretation and application …

False Claims: The Coordinated Exploitation Of The United States Government By The Healthcare Industry, Grady Mcmichen

Journal of Law and Health

The False Claims Act (FCA) has a long-standing history of protecting the United States government from being defrauded by merchants and other parties submitting claims for repayment. Affording Americans who have enrolled in Medicaid and Medicare expansion plans the same protection afforded to the federal government will allow for action to be brought to prevent large hospital networks from engaging in price-fixing behaviors. Implementing this change will have the effect of reducing healthcare prices for all Americans.

Applying the False Claims Act at the price-fixing level will have the largest affect; however, it is still important to iron out procedures …

Due Process Junior: Competent (Enough) For The Court, Tigan Woolson

Journal of Law and Health

There are many reports presenting expert policy recommendations, and a substantial volume of research supporting them, that detail what should shape and guide statutes for juvenile competency to stand trial. Ohio has adopted provisions consistent with some of these recommendations, which is better protection than relying on case law and the adult statutes, as some states have done. However, the Ohio statute should be considered a work in progress.

Since appeals courts are unlikely to provide meaningful review for the substance of a juvenile competency determination, the need for procedures for ensuring that the determination is initially made in a …

First Record Of A Population Of Rose-Ringed Parakeet (Psittacula Krameri) In Argentina, Mario L. Chatellenaz, Juan M. Fernandez, María L. Thomann

Neotropical Biodiversity

The Rose-ringed parakeet (Psittacula krameri), native to India, South Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa, is considered one of the most invasive bird species. It has been recorded in 37 countries, in some of which it was originally introduced as a pet. It has become an agricultural pest and a threat to native birds in many countries. In South America, populations of this species were only known to exist in Venezuela and the Caribbean Islands. We report the finding of a small reproductive population of Rose-ringed parakeets in the city of Corrientes, in northeastern Argentina. We provide information on its observed feeding …

Within-Colony Nest Distribution Of A Waterbird Mixed Colony In A Small Alluvial Forest At El Salvador, Diego José Arévalo Ayala

Neotropical Biodiversity

Breeding in colonies is a defining characteristic of many waterbird species and several behavioural and habitat traits determine nest-site selection. Although there is relatively extensive literature on the topic, information on the within-colony distribution of nests lacks for mixed colonies, especially for ardeid-cormorant associations and in regions such as Central America. Here, geospatial data on vegetation associated with a mixed colony, established in a small alluvial forest northwest of El Salvador and collected from June to November 2015 was assessed to identify some behavioural and habitat features that could influence nest-site selection. Four ardeid species (Ardea alba, Egretta thula, Bubulcus …

Does Bergmann’S Rule Apply In Bats? Evidence From Two Neotropical Species, Dennis Castillo-Figueroa

Neotropical Biodiversity

Bergmann’s rule is one of the most vigorously debated ecogeographic patterns but has rarely been examined in Neotropical bats. Herein, I examined Bergmann’s rule in Carollia perspicillata and Artibeus lituratus along an elevation gradient of 2500 m at both inter- and intraspecific level. I measured 384 specimens from collections belonged to C. perspicillata (89 ♀, 102 ♂) and A. lituratus (89 ♀, 104 ♂). The size of C. perspicillata increased with increasing elevation and decreasing temperature, whereas A. lituratus showed the converse pattern. For both species, females did not differ between elevation categories, contrary to males that were larger above …

The Balance Of Common Vs. Rare: A Study Of Dragonfly (Insecta: Odonata) Assemblages In The Brazilian Pampa Biome, Samuel Renner, Eduardo Périco, Marina Schmidt Dalzochio, Göran Sahlén

Neotropical Biodiversity

We surveyed dragonflies (Odonata) at 87 sites in the anthropologically modified Pampa biome of southern Brazil to evaluate how regionally rare and common species form species assemblages in habitats with different water physiochemistry, habitat structures, and other environmental variables. We classified 9 out of the 90 species encountered as regionally common and 59 as regionally rare. A discriminant analysis confirmed that localities with only a few common species were characteristic in the set of rare species present, while localities housing more common species showed no clear pattern. A PCA revealed that a subset of the common species were strongly positively …

A Response To Fallis: Does Lying Require The Intent To Deceive?, Bernardo S. Bagalay Jr., Rizzaine S. Ignacio, Mark Anthony L. Dacela

Sinaya: A Philippine Journal for Senior High School Teachers and Students

The traditional definition of lying has been challenged by contemporary philosophers who have raised multiple counterexamples in recent years. At the forefront of these counterexamples are bald-faced lies, selfless assertions, and misleading - all phenomena that fulfill the conditions of the traditional definition of lying yet are not considered conventional lies. The emergence of these cases has prompted philosophers to ask the question, “Is the intent to deceive a necessary condition for lying?” There are generally two philosophical stances concerning the topic: the deceptionists, who believe that the intent to deceive is a necessary condition for lying, and non-deceptionists, who …
