    Healthcare Activism, Marketization, and the Collective Good

    No full text
    This chapter engages with three key dynamics of contemporary healthcare - digitalization, marketization and individualization. It draws on several theoretical frameworks to conceptualize the notion of collective good and to consider how healthcare activism may play into defining and defending the collective good when faced with the outlined societal, economic, and scientific dynamics. Presenting contemporary examples from the Covid-19 pandemic, the chapter argues that the way activists define and defend the collective good can only fully be understood by grasping how this good is shaped by other, often more dominant, stakeholders in healthcare: governmental institutions, professional experts, scientists, and private industry – the latter being a focal point of concern for this current volume.European Commission Horizon 2020Check for published version during checkdate report - AC2021-04-28 JG: PDF replaced at author's request2021-06-04 JG: embargo removed following documentation from author/publishe

    From the video archives of the Cornell Law School Heritage Project. The interviewer is Peter W. Martin; the videographer, Michael d’Estries. This video covers Richard Geiger’s reflections on his career as Associate Dean of Communications and Enrollment at Cornell Law School from 1987-2015. Dean Geiger received his undergraduate degree in Political Science and Natural Science from Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon. He received his J.D. degree from Boston University, where he served as a Note & Case Editor on the B.U. Law Review. Following graduation, he clerked for Chief Judge Raymond Pettine on the U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island. Before coming to Cornell he worked as an associate at Sidley & Austin\u27s Washington, D.C. office, at Bowker, Elmes, Perkins, Mecsas & Gerrard in Boston, and as assistant counsel at Corning Incorporated. Dean Geiger was hired as Assistant Dean for Admissions in 1987, and was promoted to Associate Dean and Dean of Admissions in 1997. In 2005, he was appointed Associate Dean for Communications and Enrollment. He built and oversaw the Law School’s Communications department, and oversaw a three-year reorganization of the IT department. In the broader legal education community, Dean Geiger served as Chair of the AALS Section on Pre-Legal Education and Admission to Law School, and was a member of the AALS Committee on the Recruitment and Retention of Minority Law Teachers and Students. He was a member of numerous ABA law school accreditation site inspection teams and a member of the ABA Section on Legal Education and Admission to the Bar. He was also extensively involved with the Law School Admission Council (LSAC). Dean Geiger has been the Law School’s longest serving Dean of Admissions, and in this role, has been a central figure in the selection and recruitment of the best and brightest new students each and every year out of thousands of applicants. He retired in 2015.

Mit der Wirtschafts- und Währungsunion schritt Europas Integration voran. Die „Charta von Paris" beendete die Blockkonfrontation, und das neue Gewicht der VN nährte Hoffnungen auf eine „neue Weltordnung". Doch bereits die irakische Invasion Kuwaits Anfang August stellte diese wieder in Frage

    Development of Fuses for Protection of Geiger-Mode Avalanche Photodiode Arrays

    No full text
    Current-limiting fuses composed of Ti/Al/Ni were developed for use in Geiger-mode avalanche photodiode arrays for each individual pixel in the array. The fuses were designed to burn out at ∼4.5 × 10[superscript −3] A and maintain post-burnout leakage currents less than 10[superscript −7] A at 70 V sustained for several minutes. Experimental fuse data are presented and successful incorporation of the fuses into a 256 × 64 pixel InP-based Geiger-mode avalanche photodiode array is reported

    When the Robots (try to) Take Over: Of Artificial Intelligence, Authors, Creativity and Copyright Protection

    No full text
    As works are increasingly produced by machines using artificial intelligence (AI) systems, with a result often difficult to distinguish from that of a human creator, the question of what should be the appropriate response of the legal system and, in particular, of the copyright system has become central. If the creative input of the author has traditionally been the generator of copyright protection, AI forces to reassess what in the creative process is special in human creativity and where the creative input lies in AI-generated works. But it also poses more fundamental questions on what the copyright system should achieve and who/what it should protect. In particular, as many human authors will potentially face the competition of these AI machines on the market, new ways of remunerating human creators have to be imagined while making sure that the copyright system does not stand in the way of these important technological developments. This contribution analyses the copyright issues related to so-called “generative AI” systems and reviews the arguments currently advanced to change the copyright regime for AI-generated works. It is argued that the copyrightability of AI-generated outputs should be considered with outmost care and only when AI is used as a technical tool for creators in their creation process- meaning when they can serve a human author. At the same time, AI systems are here to stay, and their development should not be inhibited as they can have many beneficial aspects (including for creators) if appropriately regulated. For this reason, it is proposed that the machine learning process using copyright-protected works to train the AI gives rise to a limitation-based remuneration right to the benefit of human creators. More generally, it is argued that for the EU to continue to be a vibrant place for culture and creativity, (finally) cherishing and putting the Human Author at the center of the copyright system is necessary (and not only to built-up protection/fences to the benefit of copyright industries). In doing so, we might be able to have in the future AI-robots that serve creators and creativity, and not the other way around

    Interview with Teri and Michael Marquez, Downwinders of Utah Archive, June 27, 2019, Audio

    No full text
    Audio (17 minutes, 39 seconds) of a telephone interview conducted by Justin Sorensen and Robert Nelson with Teri and Michael Marquez on June 27, 2019. Teri Marquez discusses her memories of growing up in Sunnyside, Utah, where her father was a foreman at the coal mine. She recounts her father measuring the tests with a Geiger counter that he used for his mining work, and shares memories of classmates who had cancer in her age group, as well as her own experiences with cancer treatment. Michael Marques discusses how storms and dust would get trapped in the local area due to the position of the mountains. Michael Marquez shares his memory that the government assured the people in the area that the testing was safe

    Benno Geiger, umanista mitteleuropeo. Il carteggio con Stefan Zweig

    No full text
    This article outlines the development of work in progress on the Austrian author Benno Geiger. Mostly forgotten in the field of German studies, Geiger is better known for his writings as an art critic and his translations of Dante, Petrarch and Pascoli than for his compositions as a poet. However, in the decades that followed the Jahrhundertwende, he was a cultural benchmark for an entire generation of artists and intellectuals. In particular, this project focuses on his friendship with Stefan Zweig, which is well documented by a long and intense correspondence (from 1904 to 1939). Both of them see the question of Europeanism in a new light, still to be appraised
