Civil litigation and court decisions on trademark counterfeiting in China: an empirical assessment
Authors:   Senior Research Fellow, Cai Chuanzi ,   Assistant Professor, Faculty of Law, South China University of Technology
Published: January 2021

China has long been the World's Walmart of counterfeits, and the remedies in counterfeiting cases have always been criticized as too small to compensate trademark owners. In the year 2013, China revised its trademark law, which increased the cap of statutory damages and incorporated secondary liability clauses into the law. Does the change of law bring any changes to the remedies granted in counterfeiting civil cases? What are the factors affecting court decisions? Relying on more than 800 civil cases in trademark counterfeiting, this article empirically studies the case characteristics and court decisions to understand the case outcomes and litigation scenario. It reveals the characteristics of civil litigation and factors affecting court decisions on trademark counterfeiting in China. Though there is some literature on remedies in trademark cases, very few analyses focus on courts' legal reasonings or the changes in civil remedies after the law revision. This article tries to fill in this gap, looking through the lens of the law on the books – the law revisions – and the law in practice – the court decisions.

This article reports a study that aims to formulate an outbound open innovation strategy for the exploitation of publicly funded research intellectual property in Malaysia. The outbound open innovation strategy is proposed due to the inability of the existing intellectual property commercialization strategy of Malaysian public universities to optimize the exploitation of publicly funded research intellectual property. The current strategy assumes that the best exploitation route is by way of commercialization to enable the public universities to monetize the publicly funded research intellectual property. This strategy creates a legal barrier since publicly funded research intellectual property is locked up behind proprietary rights and a rigid licensing regime. In contrast, outbound open innovation strategy allows publicly funded research intellectual property to be exploited through permissive licensing. This study employs a mixed-methods approach involving semi-structured interviews and survey questionnaires with technology licensing officers of Malaysian public universities. The output of this study is an outbound open innovation strategy which connects innovation to the intellectual property system and improves the socio-economic impact of publicly funded research intellectual property.
Sprawa Asterblumowej. Lustro polsko-żydowskich podziałów i rozczarowań końca lat trzydziestych XX wieku
Authors: Tomczak Sandra
Published: January 2021

Asterblumowa’s case: some reflections on Polish-Jewish divisions and disappointments of the late 1930s Cywja Asterblumowa was a first-year law student at the University of Warsaw when during one of many antisemitic riots in 1936 she was beaten and accused of insulting the Polish nation. In the trial, the judge and the prosecutor, taking into consideration her religious faith, refused her the right to feel Polish. The author of the article presents not only Asterblumowa’s case—from her enrolling in the university to being imprisoned—but above all, concentrates on the reactions of the public opinion in which the discussion centered on the Polishness and Jewishness as well as the truth and the usurpation. In Asterblumowa’s case and the discussion surrounding it, all the divisions, prejudices, stereotypes, fierceness, disappointment and resignation, which the late 1930s brought upon the Polish-Jewish relations, are clearly visible.

The Influence of Government Subsidy and Pro-environmental Gaps on Electricity-saving Behaviors of Households in Indonesia
Authors: Aufan Dimas Abi
Published: January 2021

This research analyzes whether electricity subsidy as an external factor and pro-environmental intention and acts as internal factors have any relationship on households' electricity-saving behaviors in Indonesia. To this end, Indonesia's household data from the National Socioeconomic Survey of Indonesia (SUSENAS) in 2017 is empirically analyzed. Using logit regression with control factors such as dwellings and sociodemographic characteristics, the statistical analysis reveals that subsidized households areless likely to save electricity in their daily lives. Furthermore, families with higher pro-environmental intentions are not necessarily likely to save electricity, while households who are accustomed to pro-environmental routines are likely to do so. These demonstrate the existence ofinternal gaps between their pro-environmental intention and the acts, suggesting that electricity subsidies reform and program should be considered along with the way how intention-act gaps can be mitigated at household levels for energy saving.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT ON THE EMISSIONS OF QUARRY SITE PROCESSING OF AL-NAWASER CEMENT FACTORY, NW YEMEN
Authors: Al-Kharraz Abdulqader
Published: January 2021

Al-Nawaser cement plant is processed to construct in Al-Mahweet, NW Yemen. The quarry area is composed of limestone of Amran Group as a main raw source for cement production, which is exposed in the high mountains beside the plant site. The chemical analysis of limestones shows 50.31% CaO content, with 0.71% MgO. No previous studies were published to discuss the environmental impact assessment in Al-Mahweet, in which Al-Nawaser cement plant is the first to construct in the area. This paper discusses the environmental impacts in the quarry and surrounding area assessing various pollution creates from emitted gases and dust, based on the guidelines of WHO and YEPA specifications. The paper discusses a mitigation plan for dust, gases emissions, and noises during the quarrying and trucking processes, to prevent and/or minimize the pollution impacts of CO, CO2, SOx, and NOx gases comes from the detonation of the raw materials, viechels and crushers with dust in the quarry site and surrounding area. This study deals with the expected pollution impacts in the quarry site created from blasting and extraction of the raw materials emitted gases and dust directly affect the villages, population, agriculture, surface and ground waters and biodiversity. Moreover, machines (shovels, primary crushers) and trucks operation add another impact source of emitted gases and noises.
APPLICATION OF STABLE ISOTOPES TO EVALUATE THE INTERACTION BETWEEN SURFACE WATER AND GROUNDWATER IN NORTH EAST OF DIYALA, IRAQ
Authors: Alparuany Kamal
Published: January 2021

It had been adopted two reliable techniques which are hydro-chemical and stable isotopes to study the interaction between groundwater and surface water in Wand dam northeastern of Diyala. Eighteen water samples were collected from Wand dam, piezometers, groundwater pumping wells, spring, accumulation basins, and irrigation water during two periods; June and November 2017. The concentrations of cations in Wand dam water order to Ca2+> Na+> Mg2+> K+, SO4> Cl-> HCO3-. The concentrations of cations in the samples collected from groundwater, irrigation water, springs and accumulation basins order to Na> Ca> Mg2+> K+, Ca2+> Na+> Mg2+> K+, Na+> Ca2+> Mg2+> K+ and Ca2+> Na+> Mg2+> K+ respectively and the anions concentrations have order Cl-> SO4> HCO3-, SO4-> Cl-> HCO3, Cl-> SO4> HCO3 and SO4-> Cl-> HCO3- in groundwater, irrigation water, springs and accumulation basins respectively. There are three groups of water types based on isotopic composition; group A which noted in the Wand dam water, the piezometers Nos. 3 and 4, accumulation basin No.7 and irrigation water. Versus standards Group A is enriched by deuterium and oxygen-18, which show the effect of evaporation. Group B is distinguished by isotopic composition enrichment in groundwater as well as piezometer No. 7 than other piezometers due to the difference of the wells depth. Group C shows that the water samples collected from accumulation basin No.1 and springs have enriched stable isotopes. There is a spatial and temporal variation of isotopic contents and hydro-chemical properties of water samples which could be due to different recharge sources, evaporation processes, and origin of the water. Based on concluded information, there is no evidence proving any interconnection between the water of Wand dam and other water resources, except piezometer No. 5 which could be because of the presence of the permeable bed.

Authors: Manjiri Ravindra Kulkarni
Published: January 2021

Background : Aim of the study was to discover if there is the efficacy of serum uric acid in the prognostication of myocardial infarction subjects. Subjects and Methods: A total of 200 subjects were incorporated into the research. Of them, 74 patients had ST- elevated myocardial infarction, as in 26 subjects they were diagnosed with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. Of the total of 100 subjects in the study group, there were 70 males and 30 females. A total of 100 healthy individuals as a control group were also incorporated in the study. Serum uric acid was measured on day 0, 3, 7 as well on day 30 of MI. Results: Serum uric acid was calculated on day 0, day 3, and day 7 and on day 30 of the myocardial infarction in the case study group. The mean uric acid levels on day 0 were found to be 6.32 1.45 mg/dl, mean uric acid level on day 3 was found to be 5.98 0.98 mg/dl, mean uric acid level on day 7 was found to be 5.14 2.18 mg/dl and mean uric acid level on day 30 was found to be 4.98 0.44 mg/dl. Conclusion: Serum uric acid stages are elevated in subjects of acute MI in contrast to standard well individuals. Subjects with higher Serum uric acid levels have an elevated probability of transience and it can be measured as a marker of appalling prediction.

Published: January 2021

Background: Long-term damage and malfunction of various organ systems can be linked to diabetes and its related complications. The objective is to evaluate the microvascular and macrovascular complications of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Subjects and Methods: Patients with confirmed diabetes attending OPD were included. A detailed history is recorded for each individual case with diabetes mellitus, obesity, symptoms and family history with individuals suffering from diabetes mellitus. The physical examination was done for sensory and motor signs. Prevalence rates were typically calculated and standardized for age and sex for microvascular and macrovascular complications at baseline. Results: The overall number of patients examined was 100, of which 54% were male and 46% were female. The mean age of the patients in the sample was 53 years. The prevalence of diabetes increased with age. The prevalence of diabetes in elderly patients was maximum for 61 to 70 years of age. 29 percent of patients have a positive history of diabetes in the family. 13% of patients were smokers and all of them were males. The risk factor – Hypertension –19%, Obesity – 25% and hypercholesterolemia – 43% were present at the time of diagnosis. Conclusion: The general risk of microvascular and macrovascular problems is severe in patients with type 2 diabetes that are relatively early in the disease phase. Such findings indicate that the early risk factor may be actively changed, especially in regions with a high prevalence of complications. There are important correlations between predominant diabetes and the rising circumference and body mass index. Coronary artery disease, nephropathy and retinopathy have become particularly prevalent.

Background: Obesity exists worldwide at a large incidence rate. All systolic and diastolic blood pressure show a strong association with the height and weight of both sexes. This research was intended to establish the incidence of hypertension in obese patients relative to findings reported in non-obese persons. The objective is to research Hypertension in accordance with the Body Mass Index and to equate it between the two classes of Obese and Non-Obese persons. Subjects and Methods: The following anthropometric tests were carried out of both such patients Height 2. Weight 3. Circumference of dimension 4. The hip circumference. The Body Mass Index and the Waist Hip Ratio is determined from these measures. Blood pressure monitoring of BP was taken three times to validate systemic hypertension. Careful history was first taken of these cases involving pre-existing chronic hypertension and disease diagnosis. Results: The pre-hypertension level saw more people from both Obese and non-obese classes. Prevalence of stages 1 and 2 of hypertension was mostly seen in obese people. The mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure was higher in obese males than females but barely any noticeable variation in the waist circumference of > 100 and in the waist circumference of 90-100 cm, males were greater than females. Conclusion: The incidence of elevated blood pressure and mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure in increased BMI classes, i.e. obese people, was far higher. High BMI demonstrated a strong hypertension association.

Background: Intensive care units (ICUs), despite advances in critical care nursing, have frequent issues with early diagnosis and adequate treatment. Recently discovered world-class procalcitonin (PCT), a revolutionary laboratory marker, has been shown to be useful in this regard. The objective is to Comparison of concentrations of serum procalcitonin (PCT) and c-reactive protein (CRP) with a comparable level of organ malfunction during sepsis and evaluation of the interaction between serum PCT and CRP concentrations with different organ malfunction occurrence in sepsis. Design: It is a Hospital-Based Prospective study. Participants and Setting: Fifty people were admitted to the intensive care unit of Gandhi Medical College. Subjects and Methods: The extent of sepsis-related organ impairment was evaluated with the sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) on day 1. Patients were identified by category 1(0-6), category 2(7-12), group 3(13-18), and group 4(19-24) in 4 separate classes with varying organ impairment seriousness of sepsis. Serum PCT and CRP concentrations have been measured. Results: The majority of the patients belonged to the age groups of 60-69 years (30%) and 50-59 years (22%) Majority of the patients belonged to the Sofa group 1 around 42% followed by sofa group 2 with 38%, sofa group 3 with 16% and the least belonged to the sofa group 4 with 4%. The mean PCT and CRP concentration in those who survived was 14.73 ng/ml and 149.916mg/L respectively and in those who died were 45.76 ng/ml (p-value <0.001) and 183.584 mg/L (p-value 0.172) respectively. The linear correlation between PCT plasma concentrations and the four groups was significantly stronger than with CRP. Conclusion: In SOFA and serum PCT, The level of organ dysfunction and complications in sepsis patients is closely related to serum CRP levels.

Authors: Godara Rajesh , Kajal Ankur , Nehra Amit
Published: January 2021

Background: Laparoscopic provides access to abdominal cavity for both diagnostic and therapeutic surgical interventions which were previously only possible through laparotomy. Recent studies have shown marked rise in serum liver enzymes after laparoscopic surgeries which is considered to be related to the impaired liver and splanchnic perfusion. The present study has been carried out with the aim to comprehend changes in liver enzymes after laparoscopic vs conventional cholecystectomy and the effects of these on outcomes of surgery. Subjects and Methods: Between January 2018 and June 2019, 100 patients with symptomatic gall stones which were eligible for cholecystectomy were enrolled in this prospective clinical observational trial. Randomisation to laparoscopic or open cholecystectomy was performed by using a sealed envelope technique just before surgery. All cases were operated by the same consultant surgeon with a standard anaesthetic protocol. Liver function tests were performed before surgery, at 24 hours and day seven postoperatively. Results: In the laparoscopic group, a statistically significant rise in liver enzymes both aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase was observed after 24 hrs of surgery as compared to preoperative values (p<.001) and then again touching normal serum level on 7th day postoperatively. Whereas in open cholecystectomy patients, only a slight variation in the liver enzymes was observed, which was not significant compared to preoperative level (p>.05). No statistically significant changes in serum level of GGT, ALP and bilirubin was seen in either group. No mortality or bile duct injury was observed in this study. Conclusion: Transient elevation in level of liver enzymes occurs after cholecystectomy in both open and laparoscopy group but more in laparoscopic arm attributed to CO2 pneumoperitoneum with possibly some other factors contributing to this. These changes return to normal in a week time after the procedure, and no major complication is generally seen in these patients with normal preoperative liver function, but these temporary derangements at times may be of concern to surgeons for its implication to the integrity of biliary tract.

The Choice of Medical Care Price Index: Implications for Life Care Plan Valuations
Authors: Gaughan Patrick , Luporini Viviane
Published: January 2021

This study examines the importance of using appropriate inflation measures in the estimation of a life care plan value. Using data from 1989 through 2018, we compare medical inflation rates measured by the Consumer Price Index Medical (CPI Medical) and the Personal Consumption Expenditures Health (PCE Health) price index while discussing the reasons why the indices differ. We also explain why certain policymakers favor the Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) over the Consumer Price Index (CPI). In demonstrating how the value of life care plans can differ based upon the use of either of these indices we applied 10-year historical arithmetic averages of both indices to a large hypothetical life care plan. Our calculations indicate that using the CPI versus the PCE results in a difference that is 7.5 times the initial value of the plan, after accumulation of nominal annual values that are undiscounted to present value. We also show how the difference between using the CPI Medical versus the PCE Health increases over time, implying that using one price index or the other will have a greater impact on life care plan values the longer the projection period. Our analysis shows that experts should consider the use of PCE indices when valuing life care plans.

Authors: Piva Thais Azzolini , Santos Odilanei Morais dos
Published: January 2021

Este estudo objetiva verificar a relação entre a quantidade de seguidores nas redes sociais (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter e Youtube) dos clubes e a captação de recursos de patrocínio e publicidade, no pressuposto de que a presença dos torcedores nas redes sociais seria indicativo de um público engajado com o clube e interessado nas suas atividades e, possivelmente, propenso a consumir produtos ou adquirir marcas dos patrocinadores parceiros. Foram analisados 32 clubes entre 2016 e 2017 que disponibilizaram suas demonstrações contábeis e constavam na análise de rankings digitais elaborada pelo Ibope Repucom. Utilizou-se como modelo econométrico a regressão de dados em painel com abordagem efeitos aleatórios. Quanto aos resultados, as variáveis rede social e tamanho mostraram-se positivamente significativas, confirmando a hipótese de relação positiva entre a receita de patrocínio e publicidade e o engajamento dos clubes nas redes sociais, demonstrando que os clubes devem aprimorar-se em formas de atrair visibilidade para seus perfis nas redes, permitindo que seus patrocinadores fiquem mais interessados, de modo que essa fonte de receita possa elevar-se frente a nova realidade de exposição de imagem dos clubes. Adicionalmente, avaliou-se se uma rede social possuía maior influência na captação de recursos de patrocínio e publicidade comparadas a outras e verificou-se que com exceção do Youtube, as demais rede sociais analisadas individualmente foram positivamente significativas e com coeficientes semelhantes entre si, ressaltando a importância dos clubes estarem presentes em todas as redes sociais, pois de forma conjunta há maximização de visibilidade, tornando-se mais atrativa para angariar montantes maiores de receita de patrocínio e publicidade.

Authors: Söthe Ari , Visentini Monize Sâmara , Franke Laura Luiza Mallmann
Published: January 2021

O estudo possui como objetivo central verificar se existe relação entre a Distribuição Tributária e a Execução Orçamentária nas áreas da Saúde, Educação e Emprego e Renda, bem como se essa relação é alterada quando se avaliam os municípios por categorias de indicadores. Utilizou-se a coleta de dados secundários de 592 municípios dos três estados da região sul, selecionados probabilisticamente. Um conjunto de hipóteses testadas por meio da correlação de Pearson, considerando a configuração regional e estadual, indicou relação significativa entre a Distribuição Tributária e a Execução Orçamentária das três áreas pesquisadas. Ainda, verificou-se que, nos municípios com maior PIB Per Capita há também uma Distribuição Tributária e Execução Orçamentária mais elevada, podendo haver benefícios advindos do atual modelo distributivo. A falha no modelo distributivo também fica evidente quando se observa que o aumento da Contribuição Tributária Per Capita e da População incorre na redução média dos valores per capita da Distribuição Tributária e da Execução Orçamentária. A partir dos resultados encontrados, lança-se uma reflexão sobre a necessidade de revisão do atual modelo distributivo, pois está havendo uma tendência de os municípios que mais contribuem para a arrecadação dos estados e união receberem menores valores per capita.

O objetivo desta pesquisa é verificar a relação entre as variáveis macroeconômicas e o índice Ibovespa, no período de janeiro de 2000 a fevereiro de 2019. Para tanto, utiliza-se como metodologia a estimação de um modelo Vetor de Correção de Erros (VEC), a função impulso resposta e o teste de causalidade de Granger. Os resultados mostram que a taxa básica de juros está negativamente associada com o Ibovespa e possui causalidade no sentido de Granger, com um nível de significância de 10%, assim como uma relação positiva foi observada em relação à confiança dos agentes. O Produto Interno Bruto (PIB) não impactou positivamente o Ibovespa, diferentemente de outras aplicações empíricas, o que pode ser resultado do contexto macroeconômico do Brasil observado entre 2015 e 2019, de alta do mercado acionário ao meio de uma crise econômica. As estimativas mostraram também que as variáveis macroeconômicas respondem aos estímulos do mercado acionário, mostrando que o aumento deste possui impactos negativos no Câmbio e positivos no PIB e nas reservas internacionais. Conclui-se que o mercado de capitais é um provedor de recursos permanentes para a economia, uma vez que, a relação entre as variáveis macroeconômicas e o mercado acionário é estatisticamente significante. Dessa forma, este estudo contribui para a academia no sentido de identificar as melhores variáveis de controle nos modelos econométricos e pela determinação do Ibovespa como uma variável explicativa para o crescimento econômico dos países.

Published: January 2021

Justificación y objetivo: los problemas pulmonares crónicos son una de las principales causas dediscapacidad en las personas adultas mayores. Estas enfermedades afectan negativamente la calidad de vida y la capacidad funcional de las personas, debido a la interacción entre el proceso normal de envejecimiento y la fisiopatología. Sin embargo, los programas de rehabilitación pulmonar parecen ser una opción terapéutica efectiva para tratar esta problemática. A pesar de esto, en Costa Rica no es una posibilidad disponible en todos los centros de salud y existe limitada evidencia sobre su efectividad. Este estudio intenta identificar el efecto de un programa de rehabilitación pulmonar sobre la función respiratoria y la capacidad de ejercicio de personas adultas mayores con enfermedad pulmonar crónica.Métodos: se realizó un análisis retrospectivo del efecto de un programa de ejercicio físico sobre la función respiratoria y la capacidad de ejercicio en 53 personas adultas con enfermedad pulmonar crónica. Los datos fueron recolectados en el Hospital Nacional de Geriatría y Gerontología-Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social, de personas que participaron en el programa entre enero 2012 y diciembre 2017.Resultados: hubo mejoras estadísticamente significativas en la función respiratoria (p<0,001) y la capacidad de ejercicio (p<0,001) de los sujetos, luego de participar en el programa.

Conclusión: el programa de rehabilitación pulmonar mejoró la función respiratoria y la capacidad de ejercicio.

Published: January 2021

Curriculum 2013 (K.13) PAUD is developed systematically to fullfil the development needs of children through the development of potential, character and knowledge. This can be seen in the Standards for the Level of Achievement of Children (STPPA), Ministerial Regulation (Permen) 146 of 2014, and Guidelines for Early Childhood Character Education. The policy contained in K.13 PAUD also has the most important position in regulating all activities in the school. This study aims to examine the complete structure of the contents of the Daily Learning Implementation Plan (RPPH) made by educators which will be assessed through the Teacher Skills Assessment Tool (APKG) format based on the 2013 Early Childhood Education Curriculum (K.13 PAUD), which is carried out on 15 Kindergarten group A and group B in the Ciputat region. The results obtained from this study present the lowest percentage seen in the ability of educators to formulate and compile indicators of core competencies, learning objectives, and to plan scientific activities. This shows that there are still many schools that have not followed the procedures for making RPPH based on the implementation guidelines of  K.13 PAUD.

Influence of atmospheric conditions on the role of trifluoroacetic
acid in atmospheric sulfuric acid-dimethylamine nucleation

Abstract. Ambient measurements combined with theoretical simulations have shown evidence that the tropospheric degradation end-products of Freon alternatives, trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), one of the most important and abundant atmospheric organic substances, can enhance the process of sulfuric acid (SA) – dimethylamine (DMA) – based nucleation process in urban environments. However, TFA is widespread all over the world with different atmospheric conditions, such as temperature and nucleation precursor concentration, which are the most important factors potentially influencing the atmospheric nucleation process and thus inducing different nucleation mechanisms. Herein, using the Density Functional Theory combined with the Atmospheric Cluster Dynamics Code, the influence of temperature and nucleation precursor concentration on the role of TFA in the SA-DMA nucleation has been investigated. The results indicate that the growth trends of clusters involving TFA can increase with the decrease of temperature. The enhancement of particle formation rate by TFA and the contributions of SA-DMA-TFA cluster to the cluster formation pathways can be up to as much as 227 times and 95 %, respectively, at relatively low temperature, low SA concentration, high TFA concentration and high DMA concentration, such as in winter or at relatively high atmospheric boundary layer and in megacities far away from industrial sources of sulfur-containing pollutants. These results provide the perspective of the realistic role of TFA in different atmospheric environments, revealing the potential influence of the tropospheric degradation of Freon alternatives under a wide range of atmospheric conditions.
