On Ordered Ramsey Numbers of Matchings Versus Triangles
Authors: Balko Martin , Poljak Marian
Published: May 2024

For graphs $G^<$ and $H^<$ with linearly ordered vertex sets, the ordered Ramsey number $r_<(G^<,H^<)$ is the smallest positive integer $N$ such that any red-blue coloring of the edges of the complete ordered graph $K^<_N$ on $N$ vertices contains either a blue copy of $G^<$ or a red copy of $H^<$. Motivated by a problem of Conlon, Fox, Lee, and Sudakov (2017), we study the numbers $r_<(M^<,K^<_3)$ where $M^<$ is an ordered matching on $n$ vertices.
We prove that almost all $n$-vertex ordered matchings $M^<$ with interval chromatic number 2 satisfy $r_<(M^<,K^<_3) \in \Omega((n/\log n)^{5/4})$ and $r_<(M^<,K^<_3) \in O(n^{7/4})$, improving a recent result by Rohatgi (2019). We also show that there are $n$-vertex ordered matchings $M^<$ with interval chromatic number at least 3 satisfying $r_<(M^<,K^<_3) \in \Omega((n/\log n)^{4/3})$, which asymptotically matches the best known lower bound on these off-diagonal ordered Ramsey numbers for general $n$-vertex ordered matchings.

Published: May 2024

The development of an area that has an impact on the community's economy and the fulfillment of the community's basic needs requires the development of road infrastructure that supports the distribution process to run quickly and efficiently. This development is to fulfill the mobility of the community so that they become mutually connected with other regions in order to create acceleration of regional development. The state in meeting the infrastructure needs for the development of the region is expected to be able to improve the surrounding economy and other areas that are connected to the construction of the road infrastructure. Based on the provisions of Law Number 38 of 2004 concerning Roads in Article 43 it states that toll roads are built to facilitate traffic in developing areas, to increase mobility and distribution of basic needs and industrial commodities. Toll roads are one of the infrastructures that are considered effective in meeting the mobility needs of the community. The construction of the toll road is a development project that requires a large amount of money. The government provides funding concessions for Business Entities appointed to carry out the construction of toll roads. One of the financing instruments that can be used by Business Entities in meeting the funding needs for Toll Road development is syndicated bank loans. Syndicated bank loans can be used with a guarantee, one of which is a Government Guarantee or Government Guarantee. The aim of this research is to know and understand the legal standing of government guarantees in syndicated bank loans. The legal theory used is Normative Law Theory to find the truth based on the applicable positive law. This legal research method is empirical juridical based on the school of sociological jurisprudence based on normative law by observing laws and regulations. The results of the study found that syndicated loans are different from single loans in circulation in general. Syndicated credit begins with the stages of offering credit to syndicated participants (participants), giving mandates, memorandum information, meeting prospective debtors to obtain syndicated credit approval, signing the credit agreement and ending with publication. Guarantees on syndicated loans are preferred creditors who have the right to pay off credit first.

Published: May 2024

This research aims to analyze, explain and understand the application of science and technology to intellectual property rights in process patents and to analyze, explain and understand legal protection for process patents. The type of research used is empirical legal research because it is motivated by the idea that law cannot be separated from people's lives in the form of values and attitudes/behavior, but law can be studied from its empirical aspect, namely how the law is in reality in people's lives. The results of this research reveal that the application of IPTEKS and Intellectual Property Rights in the patent process means that Indonesian society as a society does not respect Intellectual Property Rights. The reality in society still shows that there are many violations of Patent Rights and it is suspected that they have reached a dangerous level and can damage the order of life in society in general, especially creativity to give birth to new discoveries. Meanwhile, legal protection for process patents developed by indigenous Papuans according to the Patent Law is granted on the basis of an application. And until December 2021, through the Trade and Small and Medium Industry IPR Consultation Clinic, the Papua Province Industry and Trade Service, several inventions regarding traditional medicines have been registered at the Patent Office in Jakarta. The form of legal protection can be seen from the application of Law Number 13 of 2016 concerning Patents

Buying and selling is an agreement to exchange goods that has benefits for the user. In its implementation, buying and selling must be based on the provisions of Islamic law, in that it does not contain elements that are forbidden, because of Allah SWT. has permitted buying and selling and prohibited usury. The concept of buying and selling in Islam encourages transactions that are honest, fair and beneficial to both parties as well as maintaining a good relationship with Allah and gaining His approval. The practice of buying and selling marijuana coffee across Medan, Southeast Aceh violates legal regulations. Of course, coffee can be consumed halally, but not marijuana. The combination of coffee and marijuana is a problem whether this type of drink is halal for consumption, in the perspective of DSN MUI Fatwa No.110/DSN-MUI/IX/2017 concerning Sale and Purchase Agreements. If buying and selling marijuana coffee is carried out then this buying and selling is not valid according to Islamic law because there are elements of haraam which are prohibited both by religion and by law in Indonesia. The research method used is an empirical juridical method, namely field research, using a qualitative approach.

Cripistemologies of Drug Use Against Transinstitutional Carceral Ableism
Authors: Linton Megan , Fritsch Kelly
Published: May 2024

Across Canada, thousands of drug users are dying from a toxic illicit drug supply resulting from oppressive drug policies and regulations that reinforce the prohibition and criminalization of drug use and the pathologization and rehabilitation of drug users. Bringing together critical drug studies and critical disability studies, the article contributes cripistemologies of drug use to unpack some of the ways transinstitutional carceral ableism conjoins control strategies of punishment-therapy-abandonment to unite both medical and carceral approaches to disability and drug use that have debilitating and deadly consequences. Against transinstitutional carceral ableism, the article mobilizes cripistemologies of drug use to trouble and reject the disposability of non-rehabilitated drug users central to medical and carceral approaches and instead favour consensual and pleasurable drug use via care practices grounded in interdependence, mutual aid, and solidarity.
Twisted Spine Spectrum

Published: May 2024

The article builds on foundational theorizations of cripistemology as a name for failures of knowledge to consider it as a form of epistemic humility. In conversation with various cultural texts—a memoir, a film, and Instagram—this autoethnographic reflection on the twisted spine spectrum explores scoliosis as a style of thought and proposes a cripistemology of scoliosis that attends to pain, expertise, productivity, rest, and disability community.
