PATENTABILITY OF HUMAN EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS IN INDIA
Authors: RAHI SAMUEL ALHAT, SUKHVINDER SINGH DARI  
Published: June 2023

The hESC research with recent developments has become one of the most desirable research fields for the scientist. The reason behind such an approach is basically the great potential to treat and cure the human race of very incurable diseases. Countries around the world have amended their policies with regards to stem cells in such a way as to enhance the advantage as the stem cell market is a trillion-dollar market. The research procedure involving patentable invention is time-consuming and requires many expenses, so the investor is always keener to know if they will get any monetary benefit. Though the medical field promises about importance of stem cell and biotechnological research, there are concerns in some countries, such as India, about potential policy implications that would affect the patenting innovations in this industry. As India lacks a coherent legislative policy regarding stem cell patenting, it is creating more confusion for research in stem cell research. Often, researchers do not want to be involved in the said research because India lacks any specific laws in said fields apart from so-called guidelines provided in 2017 with an amendment to Drug and Cosmetic Act in 2019. Patent laws play a vital role in industrial advancement, thus helping a country's economy. To enter the race of development, countries worldwide have developed their patent laws so that they achieve maximum benefits out of it. In India, with patent laws, moral, cultural and religious beliefs also play a vital role in granting a patent, specifically in the Human Embryonic Stem Cell patent. The Article discusses topics that a researcher must be familiar with when discussing patentability issues. A few of these topics include the morality debate, stem cell and biotechnological research, and Stem cell research's patentability. Additionally, this Article identifies the discrepancies between the laws governing stem cell research within India.

Authors: KHAIRUNNIZAM MUHAMAD IDERES, AINEE ADAM, SARAH TAN YEN LING  
Published: June 2023

Despite the increasing importance of water resources sustainability in the country, river pollution issues in Malaysia remain critical and unresolved. This paper focuses on the legal framework concerning water pollution in Malaysia as a means to identify some possible gaps since the Federal Constitution was drafted post-independence, albeit with latter revisions and amendments. Data were obtained from documents retrieved from primary and secondary sources. Analysis of data showed that serious water pollution issues can be dealt with through several options. First, to examine existing constitutional provisions, laws and policies and to identify the gaps, and where necessary, to address the shortfalls. For instance, to amend the constitution so that there is a clear definition of “environment”. Second, to consult the National Land Council in matters involving the State and Federal. This paper contributes to literature by offering insights into the possible measures in tackling water pollution issues, despite the gaps existing in the constitutional provision, which had not been explored in the same level of detail in existing literatures.

THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AS AN INVENTOR LEGAL STUDY
Authors: AHMED MOUSTAFA ALDABOUSI  
Published: June 2023

This article discusses a new challenge to the legal rules governing patent, in the event that innovation is patented by Artificial Intelligence (AI), innovations that would have more capabilities than humanity can ever boast, and thus, be able to innovate without resorting to the human element.
One of the most important concerns in granting a patent to AI is that the legalities of the rules governing the granting of a patent required that the “person” who obtains it, be a natural or moral person. Moreover, to whom will the ownership transfers of the financial rights associated with the patent will go? Is it to the user utilizing the AI? Or the programmer who created it?
The study recommends that these problems be addressed through, amending the legal texts in such a way as to help AI obtain an electronic legal personality, as such obtained by the moral person, and altering the standards of authenticity of innovation in place of a patent.

THE IMPACT OF QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS ON THE ORGANIZATION PERFORMANCE OF MANUFACTURING FIRMS
Authors: MOHAMED NAZMI MD SALIKON, MOHD SAIFUL IZWAAN SAADON  
Published: June 2023

Many empirical studies that suggest that ISO certification has no effect on performance continue to cast doubt on the effectiveness of quality management systems (QMS) on performance. This paper examines quality management systems and how they affect the performance of manufacturing firms in Malaysia because of this contradiction and the dearth of empirical studies there. Food processing companies still struggle to put quality management systems into practice in a way that results in improved organizational performance. As a tactic to obtain a competitive edge in the target market through the creation of superior product quality, market growth, and improved customer satisfaction, many manufacturing businesses in Malaysia are still finding it difficult to adopt efficient quality management systems.
The article offers deeper understandings into the advantages of quality management systems, methods, and concepts that managers should consider for any certification, including ISO, TQM, & others, to be effectively applied and then transfer to improved company performance. The study discovered a significant positive relationship between the competitive performance of a firm and the quality management techniques under investigation. These quality practices—which include top management support, capacity expansion, adoption and exploitation of information technology, and control measures—are essential to achieving and maintaining this competitive performance.
The study suggests that manufacturing companies should concentrate on changing the organizational culture as a whole in order to make it overtly quality-oriented. In order for the company to reap the rewards of a quality management system, it is essential to regularly conduct training in this area in order to instill habits and make employees more amenable to the change of working methods. Organizations may increase internal efficiency via the use of quality management strategies, which is a must for competing in the global market.

Published: June 2023

Food consumption is one of the most important components in ensuring household food security. However, there are practices and beliefs that some foods are detrimental to health among low-income people, which affects food consumption in the household. This situation is directly related to nutrition policy. This study aims to investigate the food consumption households in the rural areas of Kedah State, to fulfill the national nutrition policy of Malaysia. The study centers on rural Kedah State, specifically the municipalities of Kubang Pasu, Baling, Pendang, Alor Setar, and Kuala Muda. The technique of stratified random sampling was used to choose 225 rice growers from the rural regions of the chosen districts. SPSS 25 and food intake results scores were used to analyze the information. The results of the reading revealed that food consumption among farmers was low with a value of less than 29.9. Almost the total food intake for each food category is low except for beverages that have a high value of above 80. The study also found that this group believes that some foods have an impact on health. The study suggests that the government should sensitize the rural population in particular to eat balanced foods. At the same time, the restructuring of the primary school curriculum and syllabus needs to be holistic so that awareness of nourishment and fitness can be raised in early childhood education.

Civil liability arises when a person exceeds the limits authorized to him under the rules stipulated in the state's income, whether in legislative or contractual form. The nature of the responsibility of the registrant of real estate ownership seems to be a tort civil liability, due to the absence of a contractual link between the registrant of ownership and the owner of the real estate subject to fixing the boundaries, as fixing the boundaries of the property is only done based on a site survey to measure its dimensions and diameters, and this on-site viewing and inspection, which is called detection, is only done By the technical employee at the Real Estate Registration Department.
