La historia reciente de las Universidades abre una nueva etapa con amplias potencialidades e incertidumbres. La situación de las Universidades españolas y portuguesas podría afectar al marco legislativo europeo de los Derechos de autor en el mercado digital. En la presente obra colectiva se abordan tanto los desafíos relativos a la propiedad intelectual de las Universidades españolas y portuguesas, y algunos problemas concretos, como las potencialidades de los accesos abiertos, y otras formas de acceso y difusión del conocimiento, que sirvan a los intereses científicos y educativos propios de estas instituciones. Dentro de los problemas relativos a la propiedad intelectual se abordan ...
El desarrollo tecnológico ha multiplicado las facilidades de las bibliotecas y demás instituciones culturales para la difusión y el acceso a los contenidos de las obras intelectuales, conformando un marco de posibilidades mucho más amplio que el recogido hasta ahora en los distintos ordenamientos jurídicos. Ello ha traído como consecuencia una inadecuación entre la regulación de los límites a los Derechos de Autor (art. 37 TRLPI) y las necesidades diarias de las bibliotecas. Esta situación no es exclusiva de nuestro país, de forma que organismos como la OMPI o la Unión Europea han mostrado su preocupación por esta cuestión, en la medida que la inadecuación de las actuales norm...
Supported by the latest scientific data, this book serves as a guide to the clinical assessment of women’s health during the second half of life (post-reproductive years), including approaches to the management of the most frequent age-related diseases and disorders and the most recent advances in treatment. In addition, it discusses preventive aspects of healthcare in post-reproductive women, identifying lifestyle measures to enhance healthy aging. By highlighting research gaps, it promotes the development of quick and easy-to-use assessment tools and predictive markers of age-related co-morbidities. As such, the book is a valuable resource for researchers and clinicians alike.
U.S. policy towards Iran since the 1979 revolution has swung pendulum-like between engagement via negotiation and dialogue, and an approach marked by stronger sanctions and threats of military force. The overall picture is that of oscillation, with policy shifts driven by changes in American administrations and ideological tides, and by periods when a seemingly more moderate Iranian president takes center stage. Outplayed on the strategic chessboard more than once, America has seen its Iran policy produce little in terms of reducing the regime's threat to stability in the region and on the globe. In other stalemated settings or in situations where the U.S. wants to take action without a dire...
Alberto Savinio is the pseudonym of Andrea de Chirico, brother of the surrealist painter Giorgio de Chirico, and this work, written in 1945, exemplifies the word surrealist. With the perspective of a child, Savinio recalls incidents that are on the border between reality and fantasy. Moments of illness, of trying to elicit satisfying answers from grownups, the joy of caring for an injured bird matched by the frustration of having it fly away, the desolation of being ignored by grownup friends, and the absurdities he saw at the theater--all are lyrically portrayed but juxtaposed against elements of the grotesque.
This book was first published in 2005. Copyright 'exceptions' or 'users' rights' have become a highly controversial aspect of copyright law. Most recently, Member States of the European Union have been forced to amend their systems of exceptions so as to comply with the Information Society Directive. Taking the newly amended UK legislation as a case study, this book examines why copyright exceptions are necessary and the forces that have shaped the present legislative regime in the UK. It seeks to further our understanding of the exceptions by combining detailed doctrinal analysis with insights gained from a range of other sources. The principal argument of the book is that the UK's current system of 'permitted acts' is much too restrictive and hence is in urgent need of reform, but that paradoxically the Information Society Directive points the way towards a much more satisfactory approach.
Health Rights is a multidisciplinary collection of seminal papers examining ethical, legal, and empirical questions regarding the human right to health or health care. The volume discusses what obligations health rights entail for governments and other actors, how they relate to and potentially conflict with other rights and values, and how cultural diversity bears on the formulation and implementation of health rights. The paramount importance of such questions is illustrated, among other things, by the catastrophic health situation in developing countries and current debates about the TRIPS Agreement and health care reform in the United States. The volume is divided into five main parts which focus on philosophical questions about the bases for the right to health or health care; links between health and human rights; global bioethics and public health ethics; intellectual property rights in pharmaceuticals; and finally health rights issues arising in specific contexts such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and gender.
