Conclusion : challenges of comparison
No full textIn the final chapter Maurice Adams and Mark Van Hoecke draw some more general conclusions, especially with regard to the challenges that lie ahead, not just for comparative legal research, but for comparative disciplines as such. They identify that comparative research can be further developed when: a) it is understood as a research design rather than a research method, b) more attention is being paid to the collection of data, including awareness that this is not a neutral activity, c) there is more awareness of the challenges different possible levels of interdisciplinarity pose (including the need for more research into how to combine qualitative with quantitative analysis), d) we are more aware of the fact that all language - including the language in which comparative terms and concepts are cast - inevitably carries traces of the normative preoccupations and ideologies of those who use the language from which the terms and concepts used derive; this challenge also shows itself in the choice of tertium (tertia) comparationis, which is a perspective chosen by the researcher, and e) comparative disciplines are becoming more geared towards theory formation, i.e., generating hypotheses or confirming or infirming theories

Well-known trade mark protection: confusion in EU and Japan
No full textIn this thesis concerning the protection of well-known trade marks against confusion in the European Community Trade Mark (CTM) and Japanese trademark systems, the author critically considers the difficulties in comprehensively defining ‘well-known trade mark’ in the relevant international trade mark instruments. After critical analysis of various definitions of both ‘trade mark’ and ‘well-known trade mark’, she undertakes a comparison of the definitions of the parallel concepts of ‘trade mark of repute’ and ‘syuchi-syohyo’, and also undertakes an assessment as to the extent to which these trade marks are protected against confusion and kondo in the CTM and Japanese systems, respectively. It is concluded that the protection of well- known trade marks against confusion in the CTM and Japan cannot be said to be completely clear, and the author identifies some areas for legal refor

Oral History Interview of Robert W. Adams (SOH-089), video recording and transcript, 2024
No full textTo mark the 25th anniversary of the opening of Suffolk University’s Sargent Hall, Robert W. Adams, the building’s principal architect, and John C. Deliso, former Suffolk University Law School associate dean, discuss a variety of aspects related to the building’s siting, design, functional needs, and its overall significance to the law school and the university. Adams details the project’s unique challenges and opportunities, including the building’s location in a congested part of Downtown Boston, surrounded by historically significant properties. They both reflect on how well the building has served the evolving needs of Suffolk University Law School, the wider Suffolk community, and the surrounding neighborhood in the years since it’s opening in 1999.https://dc.suffolk.edu/soh/1063/thumbnail.jp

A Case of Identity: John Adams and Massachusettensis
No full textThis article undertakes an interdisciplinary reexamination of the claims of American revolutionary John Adams (1735–1826) that Jonathan Sewall (1729–96) was a lead author of the influential Loyalist tracts Massachusettensis (Dec. 12, 1774–April 3, 1775). The Massachusettensis letters constitute the most cogent articulation of Loyalist ideology on the eve of the American Revolution. Adams replied with his Novanglus letters (Jan. 23–April 17, 1775). While Adams believed that Sewall was the author or coauthor of Massachusettensis, scholars subsequently attributed sole authorship to Daniel Leonard (1740–1829), a Loyalist refugee who claimed authorship whilst in exile in England. After reviewing the historical and literary evidence and the results of authorship attribution tests, we proffer four historiographical conclusions. First, Massachusettensis was probably coauthored by Leonard and Sewall with Sewall exercising editorial direction over this and other Loyalist propaganda. This validates Adams’s contention that Sewall had a principal role in Massachusettensis’s composition. Second, Adams’s presumption of Sewall’s authorship shaped the writing of both Massachusettensis and Novanglus, as revealed in a critical reading of the debate. Third, Adams biographers and Revolution scholars have underestimated the extent to which the literary contest with “Massachusettensis” was instrumental in John Adams’s radicalization. Fourth, the Novanglus-Massachusettensis debate was shrouded in friendship: publicly it encapsulated the signal ideological differences between Patriots and Loyalists while privately crowning a friendly rivalry between Adams and Sewall of fifteen years’ standing. Their friendship may have facilitated communication between British headquarters and the American rebels in the weeks preceding the outbreak of military hostilities. In sum, this article demonstrates the vitality of friendship as an analytical category for political history. Friendship has been under studied by historians of the American Revolutionary Era but the Revolution was at its most revolutionary in the division of intimate friends like Adams and Sewall
At limits of life: multidisciplinary insights reveal environmental constraints on biotic diversity in continental Antarctica
No full textData source: Supporting information, http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0044578#s5Multitrophic communities that maintain the functionality of the extreme Antarctic terrestrial ecosystems, while the simplest of any natural community, are still challenging our knowledge about the limits to life on earth. In this study, we describe and interpret the linkage between the diversity of different trophic level communities to the geological morphology and soil geochemistry in the remote Transantarctic Mountains (Darwin Mountains, 80uS). We examined the distribution and diversity of biota (bacteria, cyanobacteria, lichens, algae, invertebrates) with respect to elevation, age of glacial drift sheets, and soil physicochemistry. Results showed an abiotic spatial gradient with respect to the diversity of the organisms across different trophic levels. More complex communities, in terms of trophic level diversity, were related to the weakly developed younger drifts (Hatherton and Britannia) with higher soil C/N ratio and lower total soluble salts content (thus lower conductivity). Our results indicate that an increase of ion concentration from younger to older drift regions drives a succession of complex to more simple communities, in terms of number of trophic levels and diversity within each group of organisms analysed. This study revealed that integrating diversity across multi-trophic levels of biotic communities with abiotic spatial heterogeneity and geological history is fundamental to understand environmental constraints influencing biological distribution in Antarctic soil ecosystems.Catarina Magalhães, Mark I.
