The Role Of International Investigation Committees In Accounting For International Crimes, Khaled Abdulsalam

Al Jinan الجنان

International criminal justice as a legal concept cannot be reached unless international criminal responsibility for gross violations of human rights is recognized .In light of the obstacles that prevent the application of the substantive jurisdiction of the international criminal judiciary, whether represented by the International Criminal Court or the Special International Criminal Courts ,it becomes necessary to search for legal mechanisms through which international crimes can be revealed and the identification of those responsible for them to be held accountable. From this point of view ,
we discussed the legal framework under which international commissions of inquiry work to investigate …

Income Taxation And Labour Response. Empirical Evidence From A Did Analysis Of An Income Tax Treatment In Italy, Bruno Bosco, Carlo Federico Bosco, Paolo Maranzano

Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers

This paper uses the Italian income tax treatment of 2006/7 as a quasi-natural tax experiment to offer some fresh empirical evidence on how labour supply responds to exogenous income tax hikes. We adopt the identification strategy based on TWFE panel data Difference-in-Differences (DID) model to define the correct statistical framework of the study, and to benefit from the specific features of the above tax experiment, namely homogeneity and contemporaneity of the treatment. Results show that the extensive negative adjustments of various response variables measuring the supply of labour services offered by treated taxpayers are statistically significant, rapid, and strong but …

Rowan-Virtua School of Translational Biomedical Engineering & Sciences Departmental Research

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is an opportunistic pathogen that lives on surfaces and skin and can cause serious infections inside the body. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are part of the innate immune system and can eliminate pathogens, including bacteria and viruses, and are a promising alternative to antibiotics. Although studies have reported that AMP-functionalized hydrogels can prevent bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation, AMP dosing and the combined effects of multiple AMPs are not well understood. Here, three AMPs with different antibacterial properties were synthesized and the soluble minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of each AMP against methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant …

B.S. V. Dist. Ct. (Simek), 140 Nev. Adv. Op. 46 (Jun. 27, 2024), Makai Zuniga

Nevada Supreme Court Summaries

This case pertains to an emergency original petition for a writ of mandamus challenging a district court ruling that denied a petition for temporary guardianship over a minor child. The lower court relied on NRS 159A.052 which provides for temporary guardianships of minors who need immediate medical attention when justifying its denial. However, the Supreme Court held that the lower court failed to consider NRS 159A.053, which provides for temporary guardianships of minors for other good cause. Thus, the lower court manifestly abused its discretion, and the Supreme Court granted the petition.

Nevada Supreme Court Summaries

The Supreme Court of Nevada considered whether a homeowner’s partial payments failed to satisfy the superpriority lien, meaning that the subsequent HOA foreclosure extinguished the first deed of trust. The Court examined the parameters set forth in Cranesbill which provided for allocation of a defaulting homeowner’s partial payments to an HOA superpriority lien. Court’s applying Cranesbill must: (1) look for direction of the homeowner allocating payment at the time payment was made, (2) then, if the homeowner fails to provide direction, a court must determine if the HOA allocated the payment prior to the dispute over the allocation, and (3) …

Mariscal-Ochoa V. State, 140 Nev. Adv. Op. 42 (Jun. 27, 2024), Alisha Meschkow

Nevada Supreme Court Summaries

During voir dire, a prospective juror stated unclearly and quietly that she thought she recognized the defendant, Mariscal-Ochoa, as her nephew’s sexual abuser. She was struck for cause over Mariscal-Ochoa’s objections to strike the entire venire, and the lower court gave a curative instruction reiterating the presumption of innocence and clarifying the jurors’ role in disregarding uncharged acts. Mariscal-Ochoa was convicted for sexually abusing his nine-year-old stepdaughter after testifying. The Court affirmed, holding that the trial court was in the best position to determine whether prejudice was incurable during voir dire.

Nevada Supreme Court Summaries

NRS 41A dictates Nevada’s statutory scheme for professional negligence, or “medical malpractice” claims. Over the past decade, the Nevada Supreme Court’s professional negligence jurisprudence has maintained a generally textualist approach to NRS 41A’s mechanical workings. That changed four years ago with the Court’s decision in Estate of Curtis v. S. Las Vegas Medical Investors, LLC, 136 Nev. 350, 466 P.3d 1263 (2020) and the creation of a “common knowledge” exception negating the need for medical affidavits under NRS 41A.071. Absent common knowledge, or the statute’s other exceptions found in NRS 41A.100, a professional negligence complaint must be paired with …
