Corporate Social Responsibility, Data Protection and the Right to Privacy
Creators: name: Steele, Vasso
Publisher: name: LJMU Student Law Journal
Year: 2022

description: Technology and the internet have added a new stakeholder concern to the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) agenda: online privacy and data protection. This article traces the emergence of CSR on the agenda of businesses, considering developments in the United Kingdom, the United States and European Union and the business case that supports a move towards taking CSR seriously. Additionally, the article draws on views of leading theorists such as Friedman and highlights the power of consumer boycotts to pressure corporations to adopt ethical and socially responsible practices. Building on existing literature that establishes data protection as a CSR, the research outlines the legislative efforts to protect personal data and online privacy in the UK, focusing on the General Data Protection Regulation. It also considers the challenges created by Brexit and ongoing legislative efforts that attempt to limit data protection in the UK. Linking CSR and data protection to human rights, the article establishes breaches of data protections as violations of the right to privacy for which businesses should be held accountable. The paper argues that businesses are starting to pay more attention to their CSR in general and data protection as a CSR in particular. However, online privacy is still a rather new concept on the CSR agenda and businesses have to improve their efforts to ensure they have the correct framework in place to use and store data securely.

description: Evolutionary game theory, encompassing discrete, continuous, and mixed strategies, is pivotal for understanding cooperation dynamics. Discrete strategies involve deterministic actions with a fixed probability of one, whereas continuous strategies employ intermediate probabilities to convey the extent of cooperation and emphasize expected payoffs. Mixed strategies, though akin to continuous ones, calculate immediate payoffs based on the action chosen at a given moment within intermediate probabilities. Although previous research has highlighted the distinct impacts of these strategic approaches on fostering cooperation, the reasons behind the differing levels of cooperation among these approaches have remained somewhat unclear. This study explores how these strategic approaches influence cooperation in the context of the prisoner's dilemma game, particularly in networked populations with varying clustering coefficients. Our research goes beyond existing studies by revealing that the differences in cooperation levels between these strategic approaches are not confined to finite populations; they also depend on the clustering coefficients of these populations. In populations with nonzero clustering coefficients, we observed varying degrees of stable cooperation for each strategic approach across multiple simulations, with mixed strategies showing the most variability, followed by continuous and discrete strategies. However, this variability in cooperation evolution decreased in populations with a clustering coefficient of zero, narrowing the differences in cooperation levels among the strategies. These findings suggest that in more realistic settings, the robustness of cooperation systems may be compromised, as the evolution of cooperation through mixed and continuous strategies introduces a degree of unpredictability.

description: Postfunctionalism posits a tradeoff between the functional scale of governance and the territorial scope of community: functional scale is large and transnational for efficiency reasons; community is small-scale and (sub-)national for reasons of social trust and collective identification. COVID-19 has turned this tradeoff upside down: it has shrunk functional scale to the (sub-)national level in the name of security, while lifting expectations of community to the grand transnational scale in the name of solidarity. This reversal of scales has resulted in a rapid rebordering of the Single Market and the Schengen area on the one hand, and a significant debordering of fiscal risk and burden sharing on the other. We reconstruct the evolution of this double-movement from January to August 2020, contrast it to historical trends in the scale-community tradeoff of European integration, and discuss implications for postfunctionalist theory.

description: This article introduces the concept of orchestration as the mobilization of an intermediary by an orchestrator on a voluntary basis in pursuit of a joint governance goal. Orchestrator-Intermediary theory then provides a model of indirect governance that supplements delegation models premised on principal-agent theory. Under both theories, governors enhance their governance capacity by drawing on the capabilities of third parties. Whereas delegation is premised on hard ‘contractual’ control over the agent, however, orchestration relies on the soft control of like-minded intermediaries through material and ideational support. The two models overlap, and governors mix them in practice, but distinguishing between them analytically can broaden and deepen analysis of indirect forms of governance. This article discusses the circumstances under which each model provides a better fit for real-world problems, as well as the key limitations of each model. Among other things, orchestration is relatively more likely in democratic than authoritarian systems, when governors have limited direct capacities of their own and when veto players are more numerous. Orchestration is not always more desirable than delegation, but it provides an important alternative in some circumstances. Multiple examples from both domestic and international settings are used to illustrate this claim. The article closes with key considerations regarding the effectiveness and legitimacy of orchestration.
Intersectional Discrimination and Exploitation Within the UK Fast Fashion Industry
Creators: name: Smith, Harriet Daisy
Publisher: name: LJMU Student Law Journal
Year: 2022

description: ‘Fast Fashion’ is the term for clothing businesses which create clothes at a quick rate and sell them at low prices, often following the latest microtrends in fashion. While multi-million-pound companies within the United Kingdom (UK) such as PrettyLittleThing and Boohoo are what society sees as the face of this industry, it is really made up of garment workers, 80% of which are women of colour, who are discriminated against and exploited behind the scenes inside and outside of the UK. The legislation that governs how UK companies treat their workers, such as the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and the Companies Act 2006, as well as the Government’s weak response to non-compliance with the national minimum wage, allows this discrimination and exploitation to continue, leading to impunity for employers. The fact that most of these workers are women of colour from non-western cultures highlights that this is an intersectional issue. This article argues that the UK Government is not producing effective legislation that protects workers’ rights, specifically, women of colour garment workers in the fast fashion industry. Overall, tougher legislation must be put in place to ensure that employers and businesses work to eradicate intersectional discrimination and exploitation of garment workers within the fast fashion industry.

description: Integrated communications and localization (ICAL) will play an important part in future sixth generation (6G) networks for the realization of Internet of Everything (IoE) to support both global communications and seamless localization. Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) low earth orbit (LEO) satellite systems have great potential in providing wide coverage with enhanced gains, and thus are strong candidates for realizing ubiquitous ICAL. In this paper, we develop a wideband massive MIMO LEO satellite system to simultaneously support wireless communications and localization operations in the downlink. In particular, we first characterize the signal propagation properties and derive a localization performance bound. Based on these analyses, we focus on the hybrid analog/digital precoding design to achieve high communication capability and localization precision. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed ICAL scheme supports both the wireless communication and localization operations for typical system setups.

Racial Discrimination

Publisher: name: LJMU Student Law Journal
Year: 2022

description: The devastating consequences of racial inequalities have been highlighted by recent events, with striking evidence showing the disproportionate rates of diagnosis and deaths of ethnic minorities amid the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] Tracing these disparities back to social and economic factors and a lack of opportunities, it is evident that a substantial degree of racism exists in the UK. Still, the Government has yet to provide an adequate plan to tackle such issues and has instead dismissed claims of institutional racism.[2] The data combined with subsequent inaction reflects the harmful attitudes that are still prevalent, placing minorities at a dangerous disadvantage. This article will determine whether the extent of the racism that we see in the UK today is rooted in a legal or moral fault. This will be done by tracing the history of law and morality to Ancient Greece and by using natural law theory and legal positivism to consider how racial discrimination has gained legal or moral support. Using this understanding, legal developments at national and international level will be traced to demonstrate how both legal and moral attitudes have changed over time, with specific reference being given to the city of Liverpool. Recent racial inequalities will then be examined with police powers and health care receiving the most scrutiny. It will be concluded that there has been little effective change in law and morality since the findings of the MacPherson Report[3] which has recently become a topical issue for policing leaders.[4] [1] Public Health England, ‘Disparities in the Risk and Outcomes of COVID-19’ (GW-1447, PHE Publications, August 2020) accessed 17 March 2021.

Revolutions in Family Law and Their Effect on Family Disputes
Creators: name: Deane, Amy Louise
Publisher: name: LJMU Student Law Journal
Year: 2022

description: Herring once set out that family law has undergone a profound revolution over the last few years which has shaped the way in which family law disputes are handled. Whilst there is some truth in this statement, the extent to which the aforementioned reforms have impacted the law in this area is up for debate. This paper questions how such reforms have provided the courts with alternative methods of dealing with family law cases and particularly focuses on the areas of access to justice and familial breakdown. It is concluded that, despite the amendments, the legal system remains flawed in handling family matters. This paper explores the adverse effects of such changes with a particular focus on cuts to legal aid and litigants in person. Further, the research discusses the proposal of a non-fault divorce system and how, despite the goal being to reconstruct the previous divorce law into one which existed on a ‘no fault’ basis, fault continues to be a central position within the process of a divorce.

description: Primordial tensor modes can induce Cosmic Microwave Background spectral distortions during horizon re-entry. We investigate a specific mechanism proposed for this purpose, characterized by the coupling of an SU(2) gauge field to an axion undergoing a momentary stage of rapid evolution during inflation. Examining also the scalar perturbations produced by this model, we find that spectral distortions from the scalar modes significantly dominate those arising from the tensors. This holds true also for an earlier version of the model based on a U(1) gauge field. The scalar-induced distortions might be observed in future experiments, and the current COBE/FIRAS constraints already limit the parameter space of these models. Additionally, we find that delaying the onset of fast roll in the SU(2) scenario (to enhance the modes at the scales relevant for spectral distortions, while respecting the CMB constraints at larger scales) poses a greater challenge compared to the U(1) case. We propose a way to control the axion speed by varying the size of its coupling to the gauge fields.

Do the Current UK Laws Governing Surrogacy and Gamete Donation Adequately Protect the Parents and Children, or is Reform Required to Achieve This?
Creators: name: Williams, Kieran
Publisher: name: LJMU Student Law Journal
Year: 2022

description: The UK laws that cover technologically assisted reproduction are from a time in which these techniques were viewed as taboo and the science behind them was new and under -studied. This article will analyse the advantages and disadvantages of the UK’s surrogacy and gamete donation laws. It explores the extent to which they are lacking and, drawing on laws in other jurisdictions to decide what, if any, reforms are needed to ensure that parents and children that are traversing the UK’s systema are treated fairly and with respect. The article argues that the reform of laws governing gamete donation were adequate, taking into consideration the changes of the publics’ perception of this and the science that makes it possible. However, there are still areas of gamete donation such as the practice of posthumous gamete donation that necessitate reform. Furthermore, this study argues that the law governing surrogacy is in desperate need for reform. The current system can be seen to encourage a system that can leave women in economically disadvantaged countries at risk of exploitation as well as putting the prospective parents in a legally uncertain situations that the judiciary are forced to address.

description: In modern video coding standards, block-based inter prediction is widely adopted, which brings high compression efficiency. However, in natural videos, there are usually multiple moving objects of arbitrary shapes, resulting in complex motion fields that are difficult to represent compactly. This problem has been tackled by more flexible block partitioning methods in the Versatile Video Coding (VVC) standard, but the more flexible partitions require more overhead bits to signal and still cannot be made arbitrarily shaped. To address this limitation, we propose an object segmentation-assisted inter prediction method (SAIP), where objects in the reference frames are segmented by some advanced technologies. With a proper indication, the object segmentation mask is translated from the reference frame to the current frame as the arbitrary-shaped partition of different regions without any extra signal. Using the segmentation mask, motion compensation is separately performed for different regions, achieving higher prediction accuracy. The segmentation mask is further used to code the motion vectors of different regions more efficiently. Moreover, the segmentation mask is considered in the joint rate-distortion optimization for motion estimation and partition estimation to derive the motion vector of different regions and partition more accurately. The proposed method is implemented into the VVC reference software, VTM version 12.0. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves up to 1.98%, 1.14%, 0.79%, and on average 0.82%, 0.49%, 0.37% BD-rate reduction for common test sequences, under the Low-delay P, Low-delay B, and Random Access configurations, respectively.

Have the Legal and Social Concepts of Domestic Abuse Been Profoundly Revolutionised, or Is Further Reform Required?
Creators: name: Rowland, Sophie
Publisher: name: LJMU Student Law Journal
Year: 2022

description: Domestic abuse is an important aspect of family law that is governed by everyday attitudes, personal beliefs, legislation, and legal precedents. These are important to consider when assessing how society has reacted, and still reacts, to ‘controversial’ issues that challenge the norm. This article analyses to what extent domestic abuse law may be reforming and how these changes will influence future decisions. It is suggested that although the definition of domestic abuse has broadened to include coercive control and recognise women, men, and children as potential victims. There is a need for more to be done to eliminate patriarchal views and attitudes that shape society’s understanding of domestic abuse and legal responses.

description: В статье рассматривается проблема невыразимости этики у Л. Витгенштейна и С. Кьеркегора. Оба философа указывают на парадоксальную ситуацию при попытке выразить этическое в языке. С одной стороны, этический дискурс кажется возможным и даже необходимым. В действительности же, подлинно этическое никогда не может быть выражено. Онтология раннего Витгенштейна, представленная им в «Логико-философском трактате», устанавливает запрет на высказывание этического. Язык, согласно Витгенштейну, может описывать только факты мира, об этике же говорить нельзя. Кьеркегор, в свою очередь, так же указывает на невозможность выражения подлинной ценности (для него – религиозной веры, как, например, у Авраама из «Страх и трепет»). Она может быть понята только как парадокс. Анализ идей этих двух мыслителей должен ответить на главный вопрос статьи: возможно ли подлинное понимание одного философа (или же просто человека) другим или нет? Автор показывает, что, в согласии с Кьеркегором и Витгенштейном, мы вынуждены дать отрицательный ответ. В рамках языка возможно только уяснение содержание основных идей и концепций, однако понимание всегда остаётся недостижимым, т.к. оно обеспечивается трансцендентальной структурой (как у Витгенштейна) или парадоксальностью веры (как у Кьеркегора).

description: The DNS HTTPS resource record is a new DNS record type designed for the delivery of configuration information and parameters required to initiate connections to HTTPS network services. In addition, it is a key enabler for TLS Encrypted ClientHello (ECH) by providing the cryptographic keying material needed to encrypt the initial exchange. To understand the adoption of this new DNS HTTPS record, we perform a longitudinal study on the server-side deployment of DNS HTTPS for Tranco top million domains, as well as an analysis of the client-side support for DNS HTTPS through snapshots from major browsers. To the best of our knowledge, our work is the first longitudinal study on DNS HTTPS server deployment, and the first known study on client-side support for DNS HTTPS. Despite the rapidly growing trend of DNS HTTPS adoption, our study highlights challenges and concerns in the deployment by both servers and clients, such as the complexity in properly maintaining HTTPS records and connection failure in browsers when the HTTPS record is not properly configured.

Он считает, что при обсуждении языка на философском уровне не следует руководствоваться эмоциями, привлекать политику и впадать в квасной патриотизм. При изучении русского языка в школе нет необходимости усложнять предмет, вводить терминологию, понятия и определения, по поводу которым нет единого мнения у лингвистов.

description: Несмотря на то, что понятия возможных миров и субстанций являются очень важными в современной метафизике, существует сравнительно мало попыток объединить их. В статье рассматривается метафизическая модель возникновения и эволюции возможных миров в результате взаимодействия между субстанциями. Модель опирается на учение Лейбница о возможностях, согласно которой каждая сущность или возможность обладает тенденцией к существованию. Предполагается, что активность субстанций может быть непрерывно направлена на использование указанной тенденции всеми возможными способами. В результате согласованные и устойчивые взаимодействия между субстанциями способны порождать устойчивые объекты в одном из множества миров. Таким образом, именно активность субстанций может порождать переход от возможного к актуальному бытию в форме существования многих миров.
Resonant Multi-Scalar Production in the Generic Complex Singlet Model in the Multi-TeV Region

description: We develop benchmarks for resonant di-scalar production in the generic complex singlet scalar extension of the Standard Model (SM), which contains two new scalars. These benchmarks maximize di-scalar resonant production: $pp\rightarrow h_2 \rightarrow h_1 h_1/h_1h_3/h_3h_3$, where $h_1$ is the observed SM-like Higgs boson and $h_{2,3}$ are new scalars. The decays $h_2\rightarrow h_1h_3$ and $h_2\rightarrow h_3h_3$ may be the only way to discover $h_3$, leading to a discovery of two new scalars at once. Current LHC and projected future collider (HL-LHC, FCC-ee, ILC500) constraints are used to produce benchmarks at the HL-LHC for $h_2$ masses between 250 GeV and 1 TeV and a future $pp$ collider for $h_2$ masses between 250 GeV and 12 TeV. We update the current LHC bounds on the singlet-Higgs boson mixing angle. As the mass of $h_2$ increases, certain limiting behaviors of the maximum rates are uncovered due to theoretical constraints on the parameters. These limits, which can be derived analytically, are ${\rm BR}(h_2\rightarrow h_1h_1)\rightarrow 0.25$, ${\rm BR}(h_2\rightarrow h_3h_3)\rightarrow 0.5$, and ${\rm BR}(h_2\rightarrow h_1h_3) \rightarrow 0$. It can also be shown that the maximum rates of $pp\rightarrow h_2\rightarrow h_1h_1/h_3h_3$ approach the same value. Hence, all three $h_2\rightarrow h_ih_j$ decays are promising discovery modes for $h_2$ masses below $\mathcal{O}(1\,{\rm TeV})$, while above $\mathcal{O}(1\,{\rm TeV})$ the decays $h_2\rightarrow h_1h_1/h_3h_3$ are more encouraging. Masses for $h_3$ are chosen to produce a large range of signatures including multi-b, multi-vector boson, and multi-$h_1$ production. The behavior of the maximum rates imply that in the multi-TeV region this model may be discovered in the Higgs quartet production mode before Higgs triple production is observed. The maximum di- and four Higgs production rates are similar in the multi-TeV range.

description: Most ASTRON Software Products are released under an open source license, such that they can be used, modified, and redistributed by external parties. In return, ASTRON wants to get some form of acknowledgement or credit for the delivered effort, whenever external parties use an ASTRON Software Product to success. This is important for the visibility of ASTRON in the world, but also as a justification towards NWO-I. The ASTRON Open Source Policy implements the above two objectives of acknowledgement and justification by providing several procedures. The Policy also sets the boundaries within which ASTRON Software Products shall be released.

Local magnetic moment formation and Kondo screening in the presence of Hund exchange: the two-band Hubbard model analysis

description: We study formation and screening of local magnetic moments in the two-band Hubbard model in the presence of Hund exchange interaction using dynamic mean field theory approach. The characteristic temperatures of the formation, beginning and full screening of local magnetic moments are obtained from the analysis of temperature dependencies of the orbital, charge, and spin susceptibilities, as well as the respective instantaneous correlation functions. At half filling we find the phase diagram, which is similar to the single-orbital case with wide region of formation of local magnetic moments below the orbital Kondo temperature. Similarly to the single-orbital case, with decreasing temperature the screening of local magnetic moments is preceded by appearance of fermionic quasiparticles. In the two-band case the quasiparticles are however present also in some temperature region above the Mott insulating phase. At finite doping we find broad regime of presence of local magnetic moments, which coexist with incoherently or coherently moving holes. We also find, similarly to the half filled case, finite temperature interval in the doped regime, when the fermionic quasiparticles are formed, but do not yet screen local magnetic moments.

Variational design of sensory feedback for powerstroke-recovery systems

description: Although the raison d'etre of the brain is the survival of the body, there are relatively few theoretical studies of closed-loop rhythmic motor control systems. In this paper we provide a unified framework, based on variational analysis, for investigating the dual goals of performance and robustness in powerstroke-recovery systems. We augment two previously published closed-loop motor control models by equipping each model with a performance measure based on the rate of progress of the system relative to a spatially extended external substrate -- such as progress relative to the ground for a locomotor task. The sensitivity measure quantifies the ability of the system to maintain performance in response to external perturbations. Motivated by a search for optimal design principles for feedback control achieving the complementary requirements of efficiency and robustness, we discuss the performance-sensitivity patterns of the systems featuring different sensory feedback architectures. In a paradigmatic half-center oscillator (HCO)-motor system, we observe that the excitation-inhibition property of feedback mechanisms determines the sensitivity pattern while the activation-inactivation property determines the performance pattern. Moreover, we show that the nonlinearity of the sigmoid activation of feedback signals allows the existence of optimal combinations of performance and sensitivity. In a detailed hindlimb locomotor system, we find that a force-dependent feedback can simultaneously optimize both performance and robustness, while length-dependent feedback variations result in significant performance-versus-sensitivity tradeoffs. Thus, this work provides an analytical framework for studying feedback control of oscillations in nonlinear dynamical systems, leading to several insights that have the potential to inform the design of control or rehabilitation systems.
