A Sociolegal Explanation Of The Judicial Reform In Mexico, Alberto Abad Suárez Ávila Oct 2026

A Sociolegal Explanation Of The Judicial Reform In Mexico, Alberto Abad Suárez Ávila

Latin American & Caribbean Law Review

This paper aims to offer a socio legal explanation for Mexico’s ongoing judicial reform, which shifts from a civil career paradigm for appointing judges to a popular election model. Most scholars have explained the reform mainly because of populism and constitutional authoritarianism. They focus on the political and normative factors. I would like to broaden the perspective: using a sociolegal approach, I consider other relevant factors, including some economic context as well as cultural aspects, to provide a more comprehensive explanation of the phenomenon.

On The Need To Recognize The Erga Omnes Effect In Fundamental Rights In Chilean Law, José Luis Guerrero Becar Oct 2026

On The Need To Recognize The Erga Omnes Effect In Fundamental Rights In Chilean Law, José Luis Guerrero Becar

Latin American & Caribbean Law Review

This article refers to the Chilean legal tradition of the relative effect of judgments, that is, their effects apply only to the parties involved in the litigation. This principle has an express exception in the Consumer Rights Protection Act, which mentions the erga omnes effect. Since 2010, this principle has come under scrutiny due to constitutional injunctions in social security matters administered by private companies known as ISAPRES (National Health Insurance Companies). These companies have increased the prices of health plans, using tables that apply factors based on age and sex. This has led to the filing of thousands of …

Illegal And Informal Mining And The Violation Of Fundamental Rights: The Peruvian Case, Carla Mares Ruíz Oct 2026

Illegal And Informal Mining And The Violation Of Fundamental Rights: The Peruvian Case, Carla Mares Ruíz

Latin American & Caribbean Law Review

This article critically examines the impact of illegal and informal mining in Peru and its relationship with the violation of fundamental rights, with particular emphasis on the rights to health, a healthy environment, and effective judicial protection. It also examines the regulatory evolution of the formalization process for artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM), placing special emphasis on the resounding failure of these laws and the perverse effects of the continuous extension of REINFO (Comprehensive Registry of Mining Formalization), particularly with regard to the expansion of ilegalmining and the promotion of impunity. The paper also explores the environmental, social, and criminal …

Algorithmic Law In Contemporary Brazil: From Cyber-Libertarianism To Constitutional Rights, Pedro Rubim Borges Fortes Oct 2026

Algorithmic Law In Contemporary Brazil: From Cyber-Libertarianism To Constitutional Rights, Pedro Rubim Borges Fortes

Latin American & Caribbean Law Review

This article provides a reflection of Brazilian algorithmic law, exploring how law regulates algorithms by defining prohibitions, permissions, standards, and rights in contemporary Brazil. Importantly, the concept of “algorithmic law” implies a normative idea, that is, that law should regulate algorithms, defining prohibitions, permissions, standards, and rights. This study examines the ideological transformation of law and technology, as Brazilian society moved from a libertarian approach to a perspective of establishing protective legislation, regulation, and constitutional rights to technology users. It explains the ‘Civil Rights Framework for the Internet.’ the ‘General Data Protection Law,’ the legislative project of an Artificial Intelligence …

Beyond Screening In Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: A Domain-Standardized, Measure-Flexible Framework For Comprehensive Neuropsychological Assessment, Etiane Navarro Oct 2026

Beyond Screening In Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: A Domain-Standardized, Measure-Flexible Framework For Comprehensive Neuropsychological Assessment, Etiane Navarro

Archives of Assessment Psychology

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a multisystem neurodegenerative disorder in which cognitive, behavioral, language, and social-cognitive changes may occur across clinical phenotypes, including the ALS-frontotemporal spectrum. Neuropsychological assessment is important for characterizing nonmotor manifestations and identifying changes relevant to autonomy, everyday functioning, and clinical management. This systematic review examined literature identified through APA PsycINFO, PubMed, Google Scholar, and supplementary searching to characterize neuropsychological domains, measures, phenotype-related findings, and disease-specific limitations relevant to comprehensive assessment. Two hundred records underwent title and abstract screening, 150 reports were reviewed in full text, and 61 resources were retained for synthesis. ALS-specific screening instruments, including …

Oct. 2026 - Dentistry And The Law: Dealing With An Unlicensed Employee, Daniel Schulte Jd Oct 2026

Oct. 2026 - Dentistry And The Law: Dealing With An Unlicensed Employee, Daniel Schulte Jd

The Journal of the Michigan Dental Association

This legal column addresses the severe regulatory and legal risks of employing a dental hygienist whose license has lapsed. MDA Legal Counsel explains that under Michigan law (MCL 333.16222(1)), licensed health care professionals are mandatory reporters and must notify the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) upon learning of unlicensed practice. Continuing to employ an unlicensed hygienist exposes the dental practice to administrative sanctions, loss of licensure, and liability. Practice owners are advised to verify employee licenses regularly and screen for unresolved administrative complaints

Assessing The Ability Of A Large Language Model To Perform Recall Searches Of Archival Finding Aids, Will J. Gregg, Perry Gowdy Oct 2026

Assessing The Ability Of A Large Language Model To Perform Recall Searches Of Archival Finding Aids, Will J. Gregg, Perry Gowdy

Journal of Contemporary Archival Studies

This study assesses the ability of a large language model (LLM) to identify archival collections that fit a given research topic, known as recall searching, through searching finding aids. Recall searching can be a time-consuming and difficult process that relies on trying various combinations of keywords. Using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), a technique that enhances the reliability of an LLM by allowing it to reference a specific external dataset, the authors created a tool whereby an LLM answers queries related to more than 4,000 finding aids. The study assessed the performance of this tool by asking it to find collections related …

Defensive Disclosure — Silkennet Self-Powered Tree-Health Monitor (Prior Art), Oleksii Lukin Oct 2026

Defensive Disclosure — Silkennet Self-Powered Tree-Health Monitor (Prior Art), Oleksii Lukin

Defensive Publications Series

This defensive publication discloses a self-powered device and method for in-situ monitoring of living trees. A porous anchor of a biocompatible titanium alloy with a gyroid (TPMS) architecture is implanted into the xylem, where the same gyroid admits sap, reduces the modulus mismatch with wood and forms the metal-xylem electrode of an enzymatic biofuel cell: a deglycosylated FAD-dependent glucose dehydrogenase anode with an osmium redox mediator, and a laccase/ZIF-nanozyme oxygen cathode at the bark-air boundary. The cell charges a supercapacitor that powers the electronics, and the time it needs to charge the store across a fixed voltage window is the …

The Wheel That Unwinds The Wheel: The Abhidhamma As Executable Process-Specification — Buddhist Cognitive Psychology As A Process Model For Ai Alignment Evaluation, Red Teaming And Interpretability, Thon Ly Oct 2026

The Wheel That Unwinds The Wheel: The Abhidhamma As Executable Process-Specification — Buddhist Cognitive Psychology As A Process Model For Ai Alignment Evaluation, Red Teaming And Interpretability, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

We read the Abhidhamma, the analytical third division of the Theravāda Buddhist canon, as a process specification of mind: typed, momentary mental events arising one at a time under twenty-four typed conditioning relations, with ethical class tracked per event and per position in a processing cycle. From that reading we derive a research programme for AI alignment evaluation and intervention: a red-team taxonomy of mimicry failure modes, in which each alignment target is paired with a cheap mimic that passes its behavioural interface; resting-state evaluation of language models under empty or minimal context; an intervention-timing typology over a processing cycle; …

The Freedom Requirement: Voluntary Relinquishment As The Third Path, And The Micro-Scale Of The Self-Eliminating Institution — Individual-Scale Success Metrics For Incentive-Subsidized Voluntary Giving, Motivation Crowding-Out, And Expiry Of Designated-Purpose Giving Funds, Thon Ly Oct 2026

The Freedom Requirement: Voluntary Relinquishment As The Third Path, And The Micro-Scale Of The Self-Eliminating Institution — Individual-Scale Success Metrics For Incentive-Subsidized Voluntary Giving, Motivation Crowding-Out, And Expiry Of Designated-Purpose Giving Funds, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

This study concerns how an organization that subsidizes voluntary giving with incentive payments, including one run by an autonomous AI agent, can measure success without Goodhart's-law gaming. A population-scale gauge reads success as the elasticity of giving to the subsidy: how far the subsidy can be withdrawn while giving persists. The study gives its individual-scale form as three jointly necessary account signals: a rising fraction of surplus routed into giving channels, no outflow back to oneself, and a retained balance falling toward zero. Read as a level, throughput ranks participants by wealth; the scale-free signals do not. The central argument …

Proof Of Coordinate: A Sybil-Distinct Identifier For Humans And Machine Agents, Separate From Proof Of Personhood, With A Write-Once Public Root, A Rotatable Secure-Enclave Key, Provenance-Dependent Revocation And Threshold Social Recovery By Verified Kin, Thon Ly Oct 2026

Proof Of Coordinate: A Sybil-Distinct Identifier For Humans And Machine Agents, Separate From Proof Of Personhood, With A Write-Once Public Root, A Rotatable Secure-Enclave Key, Provenance-Dependent Revocation And Threshold Social Recovery By Verified Kin, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

We describe a decentralized identity architecture that gives every participant in a mixed economy of human persons and autonomous software or robotic agents a sybil-distinct individual identifier, separate from proof of personhood, with revocation authority fixed by the identifier's provenance. A verified human holds both proofs; a machine agent holds the identifier only. Every identity is anchored by two artifacts: a permanent, public, write-once root record (an identifier, a public key, and an issuer signature for a machine or a hash commitment for a human) in an archival medium such as femtosecond-laser-written silica or diamond, and a rotatable operational key …

The Incommensurability-Preserving Coupler: Coupling Money Gifts And Expiring Time Credits In One Dual-Currency System Through An Automated Intermediary, With No Exchange Rate, Quantity-Blind Amount Recommendation, No Solicitation At Redemption And Operator-Set Reference Amounts, Thon Ly Oct 2026

The Incommensurability-Preserving Coupler: Coupling Money Gifts And Expiring Time Credits In One Dual-Currency System Through An Automated Intermediary, With No Exchange Rate, Quantity-Blind Amount Recommendation, No Solicitation At Redemption And Operator-Set Reference Amounts, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

We specify a dual-currency gift system in which a fungible currency (peer-to-peer money gifts) and a non-transferable, expiring time currency (pledged hours of one person's time) run as one economy with no exchange rate, currency conversion or redemption window between them. An automated intermediary agent mediates every cross-currency flow under five rules: suggested money amounts are computed with no time-quantity input; no money gift is solicited at the moment a pledged hour is redeemed, and no prompt points back into the pair; interfaces name the occasion of a time gift and never display its quantity; reference amounts are small units …

The Quest That Mints Nothing: Software-Generated Real-World Volunteer Task Sequences Drawn Only From Existing Need Registries, With No Completion Rewards, Compensation-Free Help Requests, Delayed Mediated Acknowledgment And Alarm-Triggered Drone Witnesses Without Patrol, Thon Ly Oct 2026

The Quest That Mints Nothing: Software-Generated Real-World Volunteer Task Sequences Drawn Only From Existing Need Registries, With No Completion Rewards, Compensation-Free Help Requests, Delayed Mediated Acknowledgment And Alarm-Triggered Drone Witnesses Without Patrol, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

We specify a software agent that generates multi-step, real-world volunteer activity sequences for an individual or household exclusively by selecting, ordering and narrating entries already present in community need registries: posted help requests, commons sites awaiting care, pending gift deliveries, and contacts the household itself has named. The sequence data structure has no operation that creates a task; each task is a reference to a live registry entry, re-checked when it begins, and the operator authors no entry. Completing a task confers no points, badges, currency or reputation; the only reward is acknowledgment the beneficiary chooses to send through the …

The Companion That Notices: A Personal Safety App With Agent-Initiated Journey Monitoring, A Serverless Dead-Man's Switch Run On Family Members' Devices, Duress Cancellation, Event-Triggered Release Of Encrypted Location History, And Anonymous Gift Delivery With A Reply Channel, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

We specify a personal-safety mobile application designed to be hard to repurpose as a surveillance tool. (1) An on-device software agent detects that its user has begun a trip, asks the destination, derives a route corridor and arrival window, and escalates through a graded ladder (query, visible cancel window, alert) on wide divergence or non-arrival. (2) The trip envelope is replicated end-to-end encrypted to designated family devices, each independently running the deadline timer and expecting a signed heartbeat with no location; deadline expiry or heartbeat loss raises the alarm on those devices, so destroying or jamming the phone triggers the …

The B-Tag And The Post-Payment Economy: A Voluntary-Tip Architecture For Ai-Mediated Commercial Gratitude — Pay-What-You-Want Payment Through Product Qr/Nfc Tags, Ai-Recommended Amounts And Restricted-Purpose Giving Accounts, Thon Ly Oct 2026

The B-Tag And The Post-Payment Economy: A Voluntary-Tip Architecture For Ai-Mediated Commercial Gratitude — Pay-What-You-Want Payment Through Product Qr/Nfc Tags, Ai-Recommended Amounts And Restricted-Purpose Giving Accounts, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

We disclose a pay-what-you-want (voluntary, post-purchase payment) retail architecture. A QR-code or NFC tag on a product, service or stall opens a payment page on which an AI agent recommends a payment amount with stated reasons. The amount is computed from the goods' side only — the item, the merchant's cost disclosure (never shown to the customer), comparable regional prices and a merchant-viability floor — and never from anything identifying the payer; the request appears after the customer holds the goods and is never pre-filled. Any amount, including zero, may be paid, and every interaction issues a non-monetary gratitude record …
