License agreements for the use of users’ intellectual property in the digital market
Authors: Shmatkov Daniil
Published: January 2024

Digital platforms widely implement standard license agreements, according to which users grant them certain rights. And being today at an understandable stage of the establishment of these processes, several urgent questions arise – to what extent the content of such contracts is regulated at the national and international levels, how the provisions of regulatory documents are reflected in license agreements between users and platforms, how the standards for these documents take into account the needs of stakeholders. The purpose of the presented study is to determine the content of standard provisions of non-exclusive licenses offered by digital platforms, for certain industries, taking into account the norms of national and international legal documents and taking into account the balancing of the needs of interested parties. To achieve the purpose of this research, the method of scientific and legal analysis of normative documents, literature, and license agreements presented on digital platforms, as well as scientific methods of comparison and generalization, were used. Licenses are compared according to the following criteria: name, type of license, intellectual property objects, granted rights (separately – the right to grant sublicenses), term of validity, territory of validity, availability of royalties, possibility of revocation, guarantees of purity of works from third-party rights. The content of such a license is defined, which takes into account the interests of all parties in accordance with the laws and the technical needs and capabilities of the platforms. There are still unsettled aspects of the above, including at the international level – these issues may become the subject for further research. Although the digital platforms analyzed in the article are characterized by different functional features, content, target audience, etc., the proposals can be implemented regardless of these differences, but with the addition of provisions relevant to the specifics of the platform.

Published: January 2024

Kejahatan di bidang merek merupakan salah satu dari aktivitas kriminal yang berkembang cepat hal ini disebabkan karena adanya perkembangan di bidang teknologi dan informasi sehingga memudahkan untuk meningkatkan dalam perkembangan bisnis bagi pelaku usaha dalam bersaing di bidang perdagangan, tentu saja hal hal demikian itu akan sangat mengacaukan roda perekonomian di Indonesia dalam skala nasional dan skala regional. Tindakan pemalsuan ini dapat dimasukkan ke dalam kelompok kejahatan penipuan, karena memberikan gambaran atas barang seakan asli atau benar sesungguhnya kebenaran tersebut tidak dimilikinya. Pemalsuan merek ini akan merugikan berbagai pihak, baik konsumen maupun pemilik merek asli dari merek itu sendiri. Perbuatan pemalsuan merek baik secara keseluruhan maupun sebagian, ini dilakukan agar didalam usahanya untuk mendapatkan keuntungan yang sebesar-besarnya. Sanksi pidana terhadap tindakan yang melanggar hak seseorang dibidang merek selain diatur khusus dalam ketentuan sanksi peraturan perundang-undangan merek itu sendiri, juga terdapat dalam ketentuan KUHP. Persaingan tidak jujur dengan sendirinya besifat melawan hukum, karena hukum memberikan perlindungan terhadap pergaulan yang tertib dalam dunia usaha. Undang-Undang Nomor 20 Tahun 2016 tentang Merek dan Indikasi Geografis mencantumkan ancaman hukuman pidana kepada siapa saja yang dengan sengaja dan tanpa hak menggunakan merek yang sama pada keseluruhannya atau pada pokoknya dengan merek terdaftar milik pihak lain.

Teknologi dan informasi dalam waktu yang sangat singkat dapat berkembang dengan cepat. Dengan kemajuan teknologi yang saat ini terjadi sehingga dapat menciptakan suatu tindak kejahatan yang menggunakan atau memanfaatkan kecanggihan teknologi yang dikenal dengan cybercrime. Salah satu modus kejahatan cybercrime adalah kejahatan love scam. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian normatif. Sumber penelitian yang digunakan yaitu menggunakan sumber bahan hukum primer, sekunder, tersier. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan konseptual. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa tindak pidana love scam merupakan modus penipuan berkedok asmara melalui situs online. Pelaku love scam hanya berpura-pura mencintai korban, karena tujuan utama pelaku hanya untuk menguntungkan diri sendiri dan menyebabkan kerugian bagi korban. Setiap tahunnya kejahatan love scam mengalami peningkatan karena kejahatan love scam tidak banyak dilaporkan oleh korbannya. Tidak hanya peraturan perundang-undangan tetapi pemerintah juga harus memberikan sosialisasi kepada masyarakat akan pentingnya pemahaman tentang penipuan yang berkedok asmara agar masyarakat lebih berhati-hati dan tidak mudah percaya dengan orang baru dikenalnya apalagi melalui media sosial.
PEMBERLAKUAN ASAS PEMBAGIAN KEKUASAAN DALAM PRINSIP CHECK AND BALANCES MENURUT TEORI HUKUM TATA NEGARA DI INDONESIA DAN AMERIKA SERIKAT
Authors: Pamungkas Susandi Decapriu Putra , Suputra Gede Ngurah Darma
Published: January 2024

Hukum Tata Negara membahas aspek ketatanegaraan seperti struktur kelembagaan negara, fungsi kelembagaan negara, dan strukturisasi pejabat negara. Di dalamnya terdapat sistem check and balances yang merupakan pengawasan dan keseimbangan yang dilakukan secara terpisah dari kekuasaan pemerintahannya untuk mencegah terjadinya tindakan dari kekuasaan lain yang berupa pelanggaran terhadap konstitusi. Prinsip tersebut diterapkan di Indonesia dan Amerika Serikat. Namun, terdapat faktor pembeda antara dua negara tersebut, yaitu sistem pemerintahan yang diterapkan. Indonesia menerapkan sistem pemerintahan Presidensiil, sedangkan Amerika Serikat menerapkan sistem pemerintahan Federal. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian yuridis normatif yang merupakan   metode penelitian melalui pendekatan norma atau peraturan  perundang-undangan  untuk  mengkaji  masalah dalam objek serta pendekatan melalui kajian kepustakaan seperti jurnal-jurnal, artikel ilmiah, dan literatur hukum ilmiah lainnya. Check and balances di Indonesia dilakukan setelah amandemen UUD 1945. Sebelumnya, presiden dengan hak prerogatifnya menjadi pusat kekuasaan dari segala arah sehingga tidak terdapat mekanisme prinsip check and balances. Hal tersebut berbeda dengan Amerika Serikat yang pemilihan presidennya dilakukan oleh kongres serta tiap-tiap kekuasaan yang memiliki otoritas tersendiri dengan eksekutif dan legislatif sebagai kunci utamanya. Dalam pengaturan sistem kepartaian, Indonesia harus menerapkan apa yang telah dijalankan Amerika Serikat dalam menjunjung tinggi prinsip check and balances.
SUSTAINABLE METAMORPHOSIS: EXAMINING SUSTAINABILITY TRANSFORMATION INTO VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
Authors: Lapinskaitė Indrė , Skvarciany Viktorija
Published: January 2024

The relevance of sustainable development in the financial institution and its value is significant in today’s financial landscape. This research aims to evaluate the efficiency of converting sustainable development outcomes, quantified through ESG, into a financial institution’s valuation, measured by the P/E ratio. In order to reach the aim, the DEA method was applied. The results reveal that only one financial institution has an efficiency score of 1, signifying a notable efficiency level. Most financial institutions in the dataset possess efficiency scores (represented by theta) below 0.1, indicating a relative inefficiency in converting their E, S, and G scores into P/E ratios. The results reveal that high E, S, and G scores do not result in higher P/E ratios. It might be advisable to diversify investments across different financial institutions with diverse ESG profiles to mitigate risk and optimise returns. These potential research perspectives offer opportunities for a more profound understanding of the connection between ESG factors and the valuation of financial institutions. They allow for an examination of the quality and transparency of ESG reporting, considering the specific internal factors relevant to international financial institutions, as ESG continues to gain recognition as an integral component of a company’s intangible assets.
Future Prospects for Constraining Black Hole Spacetime: Horizon-scale Variability of Astrophysical Jets
Authors: Moriyama Kotaro , Cruz-Osorio Alejandro , Mizuno Yosuke , Fromm Christian M. , Nathanail Antonios , Rezzolla Luciano
Published: January 2024

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration has recently published the first horizon-scale images of the supermassive black holes M87* and Sgr A* and provided some first information on the physical conditions in their vicinity. The comparison between the observations and the three-dimensional general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations has enabled the EHT to set initial constraints on the properties of these black hole spacetimes. However, accurately distinguishing the properties of the accretion flow from those of the spacetime, most notably, the black hole mass and spin, remains challenging because of the degeneracies the emitted radiation suffers when varying the properties of the plasma and those of the spacetime. The next-generation EHT (ngEHT) observations are expected to remove some of these degeneracies by exploring the complex interplay between the disk–jet dynamics, which represents one of the most promising tools for extracting information on the black hole spin. By using GRMHD simulations of magnetically arrested disks and general relativistic radiative transfer (GRRT) calculations of the emitted radiation, we have studied the properties of the jet and the accretion disk dynamics on spatial scales that are comparable with the horizon. In this way, we are able to highlight that the radial and azimuthal dynamics of the jet are well correlated with the black hole spin. Based on the resolution and image reconstruction capabilities of the ngEHT observations of M87*, we can assess the detectability and associated uncertainty of this correlation. Overall, our results serve to assess the prospects for constraining the black hole spin with future EHT observations.
First flower inclusion and fossil evidence of Cryptocarya (Laurales, Lauraceae) from Miocene amber of Zhangpu (China)
Authors: Beurel Simon , Bachelier Julien B. , Munzinger Jérôme , Shao Fuchen , Hammel Jörg U. , Shi Gongle , Sadowski Eva-Maria
Published: January 2024

Lauraceae have one of the oldest fossil records of angiosperms with the earliest known evidence from the mid-Cretaceous. However, most of these records are based on leaves, especially from the Cenozoic of Asia, which are often challenging to assign to extinct or extant genera or species. In contrast, fossils of reproductive organs are more informative, but remain scarce. We here described the first Cenozoic Lauraceae flower of Asia and confirmed the presence of Cryptocarya in the Miocene Zhangpu flora (Fujian Province, south-eastern China) based on an amber inclusion. We scanned the specimen using synchrotron radiation-based micro-computed tomography (SRμCT) and then compared the fossil with extant flowers of the genus. The present fossil flower is small, bisexual, and polysymmetric, with a whorled and trimerous perianth and androecium along with a hypanthium around the gynoecium. The perianth comprises six undifferentiated tepals, the androecium consists of nine stamens and three innermost staminodes, and the gynoecium of a single carpel with a superior, unilocular (and uniovulate) ovary. Our study also shows that the fossil shares an unusual position of the typical staminal glands and a short androecial tube on the rim of the hypanthium with at least one extant Australian species of Cryptocarya, which have not been reported before. Nowadays, Lauraceae are still present in tropical to subtropical regions, mostly in American and Asian rainforests. The discovery of many Lauraceae leaf fossils in Zhangpu, as well as the amber flower of this study, is consistent with the current reconstruction of the amber source environment as a megathermal seasonal rainforest during the Mid-Miocene.
Compactness of commutators of fractional integral operators on ball Banach function spaces
Authors: Yang Heng , Zhou Jiang
Published: January 2024

Let $ 0 < \alpha < n $ and $ b $ be a locally integrable function. In this paper, we obtain the characterization of compactness of the iterated commutator $ (T_{\Omega, \alpha})_{b}^{m} $ generated by the function $ b $ and the fractional integral operator with the homogeneous kernel $ T_{\Omega, \alpha} $ on ball Banach function spaces. As applications, we derive the characterization of compactness via the commutator $ (T_{\Omega, \alpha})_b^m $ on weighted Lebesgue spaces, and further obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the compactness of the iterated commutator $ (T_{\alpha})_{b}^{m} $ generated by the function $ b $ and the fractional integral operator $ T_\alpha $ on Morrey spaces. Moreover, we also show the necessary and sufficient condition for the compactness of the commutator $ [b, T_{\alpha}] $ generated by the function $ b $ and the fractional integral operator $ T_\alpha $ on variable Lebesgue spaces and mixed Morrey spaces.

Mirrored dynamics of a wild mosquito population suppression model with Ricker-type survival probability and time delay
Authors: Zhu Zhongcai , Feng Xiaomei , He Xue , Guo Hongpeng
Published: January 2024

Here, we formulated a delayed mosquito population suppression model including two switching sub-equations, in which we assumed that the growth of the wild mosquito population obeys the Ricker-type density-dependent survival function and the release period of sterile males equals the maturation period of wild mosquitoes. For the time-switched delay model, to tackle with the difficulties brought by the non-monotonicity of its growth term to its dynamical analysis, we employed an essential transformation, derived an auxiliary function and obtained some expected analytical results. Finally, we proved that under certain conditions, the number of periodic solutions and their global attractivities for the delay model mirror that of the corresponding delay-free model. The findings can boost a better understanding of the impact of the time delay on the creation/suppression of oscillations harbored by the mosquito population dynamics and enhance the success of real-world mosquito control programs.
Climate-Resilient Crops and Tribal Women Empowerment
Authors: Raju Prageetha G.
Published: January 2024

The state of Odisha in India has a grim malnutrition problem. The growing risk of climate change is rendering rice-wheat cropping unsustainable given the resource intensiveness. The present chapter narrates the potential of nutrient-rich, resource-efficient, and climate-resilient millets to address the malnutrition among tribal populations. The dual challenge of malnutrition coupled with growing food insecurity, environmentally unsustainable agricultural practices on account of climate change vis-à-vis empowerment of tribal women was solved by the government initiative called the Odisha Millets Mission (OMM). OMM aimed to promote the cultivation of millets in the state to boost the livelihood concerns, and nutritional deficiencies. Women empowerment in tribal areas was taken up because vulnerability to climate change is exacerbated by inequalities and marginalization related to gender, low income, and other socio-economic factors. Solutions to combat climate change will be more effective if they can address this reality.

Published: January 2024

Companies use CSR activities in order to enhance their image as well as to foster business performance. CSR activities are also used as a weapon to manage customer perceptions during the time of crisis. Therefore, the halo effect is the terminology that is required to be studied for enhancing knowledge and contribution to literature and research. However, contributions with reference to Asian companies may make understanding much better as there is a severe lack of studies that are focused on the halo effect of CSR from Asian companies. Therefore, this chapter has been written purposively to enhance the knowledge of researchers, academicians, and practitioners with reference to the halo effect of CSR activities of Asian companies. Hence, the significance of this study has many folds and will add to academic as well as pragmatic research and understanding.

In order to examine the non-ideal behaviour of a liquid, it is crucial to conduct investigations. To determine excess properties, a range of measurable properties can be utilized in experimental calculations. Major characteristics to consider in binary and ternary mixtures include density and apparent molar volume. From a thermodynamic standpoint, several combination characteristics, various thermodynamic features, such as partial molar volumes, at infinite dilution, hold great significance. The purpose of this review is to provide a summary of recent research on the acoustics and thermodynamics of sugar alcohols in various mixtures and temperatures. Sugar alcohols are widely used in the nutrition and pharmacological industries, and many medical applications. They function as low-calorie sweeteners, providing a sweet flavour without rapidly raising blood sugar levels. Specific sugar alcohols, like xylitol, support dental health. Furthermore, acoustics can be employed as a tool for particle sizing, as well as for revealing information about the microstructure of the dispersed system.

There has been an increase in traffic jams and accidents. Here the authors plan to incorporate vehicular adhoc network (VANET), smart cities, and big data. The vehicles are treated as nodes in a network. This improves the quality of city life with safe and secure drivability. The chapter improves the VANET safety and efficiency. They compare different optimization methods such as ant colony optimization (ACO), whale optimization algorithm (WOA). Also they do a simulation study of the maximum number of nodes that a cluster can serve and the actual number of cars acquired in the cluster differential and number of packets that are transported to the destinations during the course of a simulation required to reduce number of groups with VNS. The significant improvements in terms of optimal route and reducing the number of clusters with improved results are explored.

Business process diagrams were introduced a century ago as 'process charts'; since then, they have been an essential part of business process management activities and initiatives. However, with a continually increasing pace of organizational changes, new business and organizational paradigms, and increased automation of processes, some critics argue that process diagrams are no longer a suitable and essential asset for business process analysis, control, and improvement. This chapter analyzes the current problems with process diagrams and presents emerging trends in advanced process diagrams toward digital process shadows and digital twins. In addition, by focusing on challenges such as diagram validity, complexity management, dynamic real-time information, and individual view, solutions to overcome these challenges are visioned by analyzing them as implemented in the domain of navigational maps.
