Ya'll Cain't Do That Here: Will Texas Recognize Same-Sex Marriages Validly Contracted in Other States?
Authors: King Sondrea Joy
Published: January 2023

This comment examines the current mechanism for analyzing the issue of whether same-sex marriages celebrated in another jurisdiction will be recognized in Texas and suggests several areas the Texas Legislature should review to give certainty and consistency to any such decision. Part I reviews the Hawaiian case of Baehr v. Lewin and other cases challenging opposite-sex marriage statutes, and outlines the public policy reasons historically offered to avoid recognizing same-sex unions. Part II examines the Texas choice-of-law doctrine as it relates to validity of marriages contracted in other states, and discusses Texas public policy regarding same-sex unions and whether Texas state law mandates recognition of a same-sex marriage validly contracted in another state if the couple is domiciled in Texas. Last, Part III briefly reviews the Full Faith and Credit Clause and the Due Process Clause of the federal Constitution, and discusses whether these principles should compel Texas to recognize same-sex marriages legally contracted in Hawaii or another jurisdiction.
America's Least Funny Home Videos: A Critique of the Kephart v. State Authentication Standard for Videotape Evidence
Authors: Chapman Stephen Jeffrey
Published: January 2023

This note will analyze the evidentiary standard for third-party or self-made videotapes promulgated by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals in Kephart, discuss evidentiary standards applied to similar types of evidence by other courts, and demonstrate that third-party or self-made videotape evidence requires a different authentication standard than does videotape evidence recorded under police or private business surveillance.

Section III critically analyzes Section 112.054 which restricts premature trust termination. Section IV proposes adopting an amendment to the Texas Property Code to permit premature judicial termination of a non-spendthrift trust if all beneficiaries are sui juris and consent.
Thermal Imaging Technology: Should Its Warrantless Use By Police Be Allowed in Residential Searches?
Authors: Kwasowski Mark J.
Published: January 2023

Part I of this Note examines the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizures, the Katz test used to determine whether an individual has a reasonable expectation of privacy in the thing searched, and how advancing technology has blurred the division regarding whether and when an individual has a reasonable expectation of privacy for Fourth Amendment purposes. Part I also reviews certain police surveillance technologies that courts have analogized to FLIR. Part II questions the adequacy of the Katz standard for determining whether FLIR imaging constitutes a search, proposes that comparing FLIR to other search devices and methods is inaccurate because FLIR is unique and unlike other modes and devices of police surveillance, and discusses the consequences of law enforcement's unrestricted use of FLIR technology. Finally, this Note contends that courts should not allow law enforcement agencies to use FLIR to search residences because it violates the Fourth Amendment.
The Mighty Morphin Ninja Mallard: The Standard for Analysis of Derivative Work Infringement in the Digital Age
Authors: Nielander Timothy Everett
Published: January 2023

On the continuum between an exact reproduction of protected property, and the creation of an original work, lies a gray zone. This zone is a mixture of protected works-printed art, art on digital media, digital and analog music, and other works recognized as deserving intellectual property protection-that can be mixed and matched with other works to create new works. American law recognizes protection of this form of copying as derivative rights. The question becomes, how do courts determine when the character of a work contains enough prior copyrighted material such that it violates a derivative right. Further, with the ease of access afforded by the Internet to protected works, and the concomitant ease of digital manipulation of those works, what standard will courts apply in determining when a work violates derivative law. Digital manipulation raises a fundamental issue with respect to the infringement of an author's exclusive right to prepare derivative works based on preexisting copyrighted materials. Such is the nature of our example in the Ninja Mallard.
Why Mandatory IOLTAs Should be Eliminated
Authors: Chern Dan
Published: January 2023

The First and Eleventh Circuits have held that clients have no property right in interest earned through the IOLTA program. Contrary to both holdings, the Fifth Circuit found that clients do have a property right in this interest. Indeed, the Fifth Circuit's opinion consists almost entirely of a critique of these two contrary holdings. Curiously, all three circuits rely on the same United States Supreme Court case, Webb's Fabulous Pharmacies, Inc. v. Beckwith. This Comment concludes that the Fifth Circuit correctly applied Webb's in holding that the owner of principal has a property right in the interest earned on that principal.
Family Businesses and the Business of Families: A Consideration of the Role of the Lawyer
Authors: Hobbs Steven H. , Hobbs Fay Wilson
Published: January 2023

The principal theme of this article explores the impact to the family and the business when the family structure is shattered, and devises an analytical process for lawyers to work with family business owners and/or managers to minimize the impact on the business. The article draws on family systems theory as used in family therapy and as relied upon by many family business consultants.
Part One considers the economic and social significance of small and family-owned businesses to our society. Part Two borrows from the theoretical literature of family therapy to describe a framework and context for working with clients who own family businesses. This literature provides insight on how families function and suggests a frame of reference for assessing problems presented by a family owning a business. Part Three furthers the inquiry by focusing on how issues facing a family business are often interrelated with issues facing the family itself. Part Four proposes an analytical model based on a family systems perspective which could aid lawyers in solving legal problems of the client involved in a family business. The process considers how to gather social, emotional, legal, and financial information useful for structuring a solution to the problem. Part Five presents a hypothetical problem to which the family systems approach is applied.

Geophysical "Trespass" Revisited
Authors: Anderson Owen L.
Published: January 2023

Geophysical operations conducted without permission from the "owner" of either occupied or targeted land raises several fundamental issues, including: Will the law recognize and protect the right to explore as a valuable property right? If so, what possible causes of action are available to protect this right? Who owns the right to explore? What if the targeted property is owned in cotenancy or in succession? What if the mineral ownership has been horizontally divided? What if the mineral ownership is divided by substance? What if the property is subject to an oil and gas lease or other agreement? Can the surface of one tract be used to secure subsurface information from another tract? These questions are briefly addressed in the following subsections.
Citation Form in Transition: The ALWD Citation Manual
Authors: Rainwater Vickie
Published: January 2023

In 1997, the Association of Legal Writing Directors embarked on a project to write a new citation manual. The aim was to create a citation manual that, without making radical changes to the standard system, would simplify it and make it more consistent. The new manual would take the terror out of learning citation form-and, not incidentally, would take the terror out of teaching citation form-by presenting citation rules in an easily understood format. The ALWD Citation Manual: A Professional System of Citation is the happy result of that ambitious project. As indicated in the preface to the ALWD Manual: "The Association of Legal Writing Directors created the ALWD Citation Manual because lawyers, judges, law teachers, and law students need a citation manual that is easy to use, easy to teach from, and easy to learn from." Darby Dickerson, the book's primary author, and the ALWD Citation Manual Advisory Committee, which advised her on the project, have succeeded in creating a manual that meets all these goals.

Texas v. Cobb, The United States Supreme Court Limits the Sixth Amendment to Exonerate Innocent Suspects-Police Officers Acting in Good Faith
Authors: Crowder Michael E.
Published: January 2023

This Note argues that the Texas Court should adopt the Supreme Court's holding in Cobb on state constitutional claims as well, thus avoiding further entanglement in the "closely related" confusion.
For background purposes, Part II reviews the history of the Sixth Amendment right to counsel as provided by the Supreme Court and other lower courts prior to the Supreme Court's decision in Cobb. Part III discusses Cobb's facts and procedural history and examines the analyses of both the Texas Court and the Supreme Court. Part IV analyzes how the questions left unanswered by the Supreme Court, prior to Cobb, resulted in the Texas Court's expansion of Sixth Amendment protections. Additionally, Part IV discusses why the Texas Court should recognize a defendant's ability to waive his right to counsel after it has attached-an issue which was not addressed by the Supreme Court in Cobb. Part V discusses alternative grounds not considered by the Texas Court that could have also rendered Cobb's confession admissible. In conclusion, this Note suggests how to resolve future Sixth Amendment questions in Texas.
Current On-Line Issues
Authors: Jeang Wei Wei , Brooks Robin A.
Published: January 2023

With the frenetic pace of technological development in the area of global communications, it is no wonder that consumers and businesses are adopting and taking advantage of these technologies before they are fully mature. The law is being refined every day. Most recently, the Supreme Court granted certiorari to decide whether Congress's recent twenty-year extension of the term of copyright protection is constitutional. Hotly disputed topics include digital copyright and liability for trademark infringement from technologically-driven issues such as hyperlinking and metatag use.
This move to the Internet, to our client's surprise, presented a variety of legal issues that must be dealt with. For example, who owns the data pertinent to these tenants? How does our client keep its server data secure? Who owns the copyrights and trademarks that will be used during the on-line sessions? After our client's initial foray into the U.S. market, what international issues arise when our client begins to service customers in the European Union or other countries? A closer inspection reveals that, with planning, our clients may embrace this move, because any "lurking dangers" may be avoided.

Published: January 2023

Relevance. Diabetes mellitus is a widespread, socially significant disease. In this regard, it is important to obtain an experimental model that precedes subsequent experiments on pharmacological screening and/or study of the mechanism of action of antidiabetic agents.

The aim of this work was a comparative assessment of the manifestation of hyperglycemia, DNA damage, and morphology of internal organs in BALB/c mice in the modeling of diabetes mellitus by a single administration of streptozotocin at a dose of 200 mg/kg and its fractional, five-day administration at a rate of 40 mg/kg per day.

Methods. Streptozotocin was used as an inducer of diabetes. The drug was administered to mice once at a dose of 200 mg/kg or 5 times daily at a dose of 40 mg/kg. We monitored hyperglycemia, DNA damage in the cells of the brain, liver, kidneys, pancreas and testes, and also assessed the microscopic picture of individual internal organs, including the pancreas.

Results. In both variants of the experiment, the reproduction of pathognomonic signs of diabetes mellitus is traced. They are somewhat more clearly seen in the variant of the experiment with a fractional, five-day administration of streptozotocin in single doses of 40 mg/kg.

Authors: Firmansyah Ahmad Yusuf , Setiawan Slamet , Anam Syafi'ul
Published: January 2023

The Power, Ideology, Manipulation, (PIMI) model has been offered as one of the current tools under the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) approach that functions to analyze phenomena of discourse, and it has been developed with a focus on analyzing any and all problems that arise in the context of political discourse. Intriguingly, the creator of the PIMI model has advocated for further study of the method's applicability in academic settings. To that end, this study serves as a representation of research done in a classroom context, with the overarching goal of extracting the characteristics of power, ideology, and manipulation from the pragmatic discourse of a lecturer. One of the study's participants was an English as a Foreign Language professor at a private school in Surabaya. The research was conducted by observing a class on Management without participating in it. The findings show that, with minor tweaking, the instructor displayed all PIMI Model traits, including power, ideology, and manipulation. Additional research in the field of education is needed to fully flesh out the results of this study.

SANSKRIT PROSODY: A POTENTIAL TOOL TO IMPACT NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL VARIABLES IN MIDDLE SCHOOL CHILDREN
Authors: Ganguly Mollika , Mohanty Sriloy , Mishra Sampadananda , Patra Sanjib
Published: January 2023

Background /Aim:
Psychological changes during transition from primary to middle school are immense, leading to a lack of attention in children. Chanting has been beneficial to improve attention and other cognitive parameters, but the impact of individual elements of chanting is yet to be explored. The current four-armed comparative study was attempted to explore the impact of prosody/Chanda on sustained attention and response interference in middle school children.
Methods:
A total of 138 students (12.12 ± 0.74 years) were recruited from grades 7 and 8 of an English medium School and were allocated into four groups; Humming a Chanda (HC), Chanting a Sanskrit verse (CS), Reading an English verse (RE) and Silent sitting (SS). Fifteen minutes of the intervention was provided every day, divided into three sessions of 5 minutes each for four weeks. Baseline and post-intervention data were collected using Digit Letter Substitution Test (DLST) and Stroop color-word test.
Results:
The current study had a cent percent adherence to the protocol. Within-group analysis using sample t-test demonstrated significant changes in HC, CS, and SS groups (p<0.001) with DLST scores. Post-hoc analysis revealed that the CS group had higher scores; however, there were no differences between the HC and CS groups. Stroop scores improved in all groups except for the SS group. Post-hoc analysis to examine the superiority between groups presented a higher statistical significance in CS group when compared to HC group. A statistical significance was also observed between the chanting and SS group. There were statistical differences within the group in both HC and CS groups in the Stroop mistake scores, but no differences were observed between groups.
Conclusion:
Our study results revealed that humming prosody and chanting a mantra have similar effects on sustained attention; however, humming has no effect on response interference among middle school children.

Authors: Pastushyna A. I.
Published: January 2023

Purpose – determine the characteristics of changes of procoagulant,anticoagulant and fibrinolytic links of the hemostatic system in patients withhypertension in combination with coronary heart disease.
Materials and methods. 127 people were examined - 14 healthy (control), 61 patients with stage II hypertension with concomitant coronary heart disease (group 2), 52 hypertensive patients with stage III withconcomitant coronary heart disease (group 3). There were evaluated indicators of hemostasis system: thrombin time, activated partialthromboplastin time, prothrombin index, soluble fibrin monomer complex, fibrinogen, protein C, antithrombin III of, and the time of XII-dependent fibrinolysis.
Results. Patients on both study groups SFMC content significantly higher than the control group. SFMC content in patients with stage II hypertension with concomitant coronary heart disease exceed normative value of 3 times, and in the group of hypertensive patients with stage III with with concomitant coronary heart disease of 3.65 times. The content of fibrinogen in the third group of patients exceeded the indicators of the control groupby 27.6%, the difference was significant (p<0,001). Also valid was the difference between the two comparable groups (p<0,001). The content of protein C in hypertensive patients stage III was lower than the control values at 28,7% (p<0,001). The difference between comparable groups also were significantly (p<0,001). At the same time, and XII-dependent fibrinolysis in patients with stage II hypertension in combination with coronary heart disease was 3.54 times longer than the standard values (p<0,001), and thecombination of hypertension III stage with CAD - 4.7 times longer than the norm (p< 0.001).
Conclusions. Patients with hypertension stage II and III with concomitant coronary heart disease characterized by increased blood clotting activity in the background suppression of the anticoagulant and fibrinolytic components of hemostasis. The largest contribution to the formation ofthrombophilic changes in patients of both treatment groups belongs to inhibition of fibrinolysis, which is more pronounced when hypertension stage III combined with coronary heart disease.
NT - 5 - Dides - Remuneração dos depósitos voluntários e seus efeitos sobre a dívida pública: quando o conceito faz (toda) diferença
Authors: Bassi Camillo de Moraes
Published: January 2023

Sem muito alarde, o Banco Central do Brasil (BCB), mediante a Lei nº 14.185, de 14 de julho de 2021 (Brasil, 2021), abriu espaço à remuneração dos depósitos voluntários do setor bancário. Grosso modo, a prática permite enxugar a liquidez setorial – o excesso de reservas bancárias, precisamente – sem recorrer, de maneira exclusiva, às operações compromissadas que demandam a participação de títulos públicos à finalidade, anteriormente, noticiada. Assim sendo, o efeito dessa abertura no comportamento da dívida pública ascende, de forma natural, naturalidade que se comporta como fator determinante à confecção desta nota técnica. Antecipa-se que, de acordo com o conceito adotado, os depósitos remunerados podem interferir naquele comportamento, promovendo, assim, um amplo campo de discussão – discussão que, destaca-se, foge do espaço deste estudo –, voltado à métrica mais adequada para se aferir o passivo em questão. A investigação, além desta seção introdutória, comporta, na seção 2, uma análise do balanço contábil do BCB antes e após à Lei nº 14.185/2021, a fim de demonstrar os pontos passíveis de alteração; notifica-se que estes pontos, dependendo do conceito adotado, podem alterar o comportamento da dívida pública. Na seção 3, exploram-se os conceitos de dívida pública e qual deles é sensível àquelas alterações. Na seção 4, faz-se uma síntese da investigação.

Authors: Bassi Camillo de Moraes
Published: January 2023

As EPs, a despeito de sua inconteste legitimidade,1 sempre geraram ruídos. Acionados, recorrentemente, pela crença de funcionarem como instrumento de barganha entre os poderes Executivo e Legislativo, incrementou-se, agora, esse perfil aviltado, associando-as a uma espécie de ocultismo orçamentário,2 comandado por questões que envolvem desde o critério de distribuição (político – ou seja, a velha barganha repaginada), até a não identificação do parlamentar propositor. Esta nota técnica adentra neste caso último, aqui denominado como “caixa preta” das finanças públicas – orçamentariamente, positivada como emendas parlamentares do relator-geral (RG) –, com o objetivo de extrair informações adicionais, que possam, pelo menos, mitigar esse ocultismo. Antecipa-se que a análise se apoiará no aparato legal (as diferenças normativas) e na dimensão financeira dessas emendas (as diferenças quantitativas), mas não pretende “fulanizar” os beneficiários (propositores), até mesmo porque essas informações inexistem. Além dessa introdução, disponibiliza-se, na segunda seção, um confronto entre os aparatos legais das EPs (individual, de bancada, de comissão permanente e do RG), a título de mapear as assimetrias originais. Na terceira seção, e reproduzindo esse processo de relativização, apresentam-se os quesitos quantitativos, que englobarão desde as execuções orçamentária e financeira até às Unidades da Federação (UFs) a que foram destinadas. Nas considerações finais, na quarta seção, expõem-se os pontos mais relevantes da investigação.

De modo a organizar a ordem de entrada de novos territórios no programa, o MJSP solicitou ao Ipea a construção de um indicador de prioridade. Esse indicador deveria assumir a forma de uma nota, atribuída a cada um dos 120 municípios-alvo do programa, permitindo não apenas o ranqueamento, mas também sua utilização como critério de seleção nos editais de ingresso no programa.

Este trabalho focaliza a Nova Rota da Seda (New Silk Road) ou Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), um conjunto de programas de investimentos chineses, inicialmente focados em infraestrutura, lançado em 2013, pelo presidente Xi Jinping, que constitui uma grande plataforma de aplicação de investimentos em diversos setores produtivos. Provavelmente, resulta de um projeto de globalização com características chinesas (Pautasso, Doria e Nogara, 2020) e certamente serve aos objetivos de desenvolvimento e segurança do país no longo prazo.
NT - 98 - Diset - O setor de petróleo no Brasil e os impactos do Projeto de Lei n° 3.178/2019 no pré-sal
Authors: Morais José Mauro de , João Maria de Oliveira
Published: January 2023

A importância do setor de petróleo na economia mundial como insumo estratégico não pode ser explicada apenas pela produção de combustível e energia, mas, também pelos transbordamentos socioeconômicos gerados pelo setor. No Brasil, nos últimos quase setenta anos, todo o esforço e investimentos na direção da autossuficiência não geraram somente transbordamentos positivos. Parte desses transbordamentos gerou limitações ao crescimento econômico e atualmente provoca problemas no bem estar da sociedade, muito além da pressão sobre a inflação. O setor enfrenta sérios problemas, em parte provocados por questões produzidas no nível mundial, tais como os efeitos da pandemia da covid-19 e a guerra no leste europeu. Todavia, também questões geradas a partir do cenário nacional, influenciam outra parte dos problemas enfrentados pelo setor. Nesta nota técnica apresentam-se as principais características factuais do setor, com o objetivo de evidenciar suas principais limitações, Especialmente, pelos problemas gerados pelas disfunções da atividade do refino. Apesar da extração e produção de petróleo serem bem maiores do que as necessidades brasileiras, o refino limita a produção de derivados, tornando a economia dependente da importação desse tipo de insumo vital e como bem associado ao bem-estar. Essas questões demandam soluções de curto prazo, que mitiguem os impactos dos problemas existentes no setor e que impactam sobremaneira a sociedade brasileira.

As in life, so in the traffic system, it revolves around balance. The growth of the economy as a result of the balanced development of the transport system, which analyzes the concept, importance, strategy, and, the meaning of inflation as one of the elements for entry into the European Union, requires an explanation of the environmental, economic and social impact. In order to explain the impact of inflation on the transport system in the Republic of Macedonia, we start from the cost benefit analise, as well as its elaboration in connection with the concept of economic growth. The dominant explanation for this trend is the continuous upward trend in economic growth necessary for implementation and entry into the European Union. The purpose of balancing in this essay is to determine the potential of aerodrome infrastructure transformation, that is, to determine which sectors and what economic growth means at the national level with the goal of building the traffic aerodrome infrastructure. To explain the necessary evolution to sustainable growth, the theory of equilibrium or balance will be used to explain the necessary progress at the national level. The significance of this research is the improvement of the co-operational aerodrome infrastructure in the country as a need for the development of the country in the process of implementation of the reforms of the European Union. Together with related strategies and initiatives that affect Macedonia, the aim of this thesis is to determine how and in what way Macedonia participates in the transformation of its economy and contributes to the common European economy.

Micro and small enterprise plays a vital role in the Philippine economy as they almost cover all of the businesses in the country. On the other hand, bookkeeping is a vital tool to generate valuable information in decision-making. The study aimed to determine the extent of bookkeeping practices and its effects on the growth of micro and small enterprises in Lapu-Lapu City. This study utilized a descriptive research design using a quantitative approach. The data collection was done through a research-constructed survey questionnaire. The convenience sampling method was used to determine 50 micro and small enterprises as respondents. The data were analyzed and interpreted using frequency and percentage distribution for the profile variables, weighted arithmetic mean for implementation, and impact of bookkeeping. Chi-square was used to test the significant relationships among the variables. Most of the respondents are engaged in merchandising business funded through personal funds and have operated the business for less than three (3) years. The respondents have basic bookkeeping knowledge and prefer to do it independently using the manual method of record-keeping. Bookkeeping practices were practiced moderately in the micro and small enterprises. However, results showed that bookkeeping has a high impact on the growth of the business. The study further revealed a significant relationship between the level of implementation of bookkeeping and the growth of micro and small enterprises in the locale. This study concludes that the bookkeeping practices of the micro and small enterprises in Lapu-Lapu City have a direct relationship towards the growth of the enterprise. Thus, it is important to enhance the owner's knowledge about implementing correct bookkeeping practices in the enterprise. Consequently, training-seminar about bookkeeping must be conducted for these owners to grasp additional and valuable knowledge on bookkeeping and strengthen their skills on bookkeeping as their tool in decision-making, managing, and operating the business.
PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS AFFECTING STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION IN ORGANISATIONS. A REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Published: January 2023

The failure rate of strategy implementation in both public and private-owned organisations is a cause for concern across the globe. Extant literature reveals that almost 70% of the formulated strategies do not successfully get implemented by organisations for various reasons. Therefore, this paper reviewed literature on psychological factors affecting strategy implementation in organisations. The results of the review revealed employee motivation, commitment, competence, perception and attitudes as the main psychological variables which have an impact on strategy implementation in organisations. Thus, it demonstrated that psychological factors are also key determinants in any strategy implementation exercise in all organisations. It is, therefore recommended that, for a successful strategy implementation initiative in an organisation, psychological factors have to be considered.

Authors: Khan Aysha , Akram Mohammad , Dilshad Mohammad
Published: January 2023

In this paper, we consider and investigate an altering points problem involving generalized accretive mappings over closed convex subsets of a real uniformly smooth Banach space. Parallel Mann and parallel S-iterative methods are suggested to analyze the approximate solution of altering points problem. Consequently, some systems of generalized variational inclusions and generalized variational inequalities are also explored using the conceptual framework of altering points. Convergence of suggested iterative methods are verified by an illustrative numerical example.

The goal of the present paper is to study the viscoelastic wave equation with the time-varying delay under initial-boundary value conditions. By using the multiplier method together with some properties of the convex functions, the explicit and general stability results of the total energy are proved under the general assumption on the relaxation function g.
Radiative Association between Neutral Radicals in the Interstellar Medium: CH3 + CH3O
Authors: Tennis Jessica , Loison Jean-Christophe , Herbst Eric
Published: January 2023

Uncertainties in the production mechanisms of interstellar complex organic molecules call for a precise investigation of gas-phase synthetic routes for these molecules, especially at low temperatures. Here, we report a study of the gas-phase formation of dimethyl ether from the neutral radicals methyl and methoxy via the process of radiative association. This process may be important to synthesize dimethyl ether and species such as methyl formate, for which dimethyl ether is a precursor. The reaction is found to be rapid by the standards of radiative association, especially at 10 K, where its rate coefficient is calculated by two different methods to be 3 × 10−11 or 2 × 10−10 cm3 s−1; the lower rate is calculated with a more precise theory and is likely more accurate. Insertion of this reaction into the Nautilus network is found not to explain fully the abundance of dimethyl ether in cold and prestellar cores, especially in those cores with the highest dimethyl ether abundances.
