The vanishing author in computer-generated works: a critical analysis of recent Australian case law
No full textAbstract
The use of software is ubiquitous in the creation of many copyright works, yet the requirement in copyright law that every work have a human author who engages in independent intellectual effort means that its use may prevent copyright subsistence. Several recent Australian cases have refocused attention on authorship as an essential criterion of copyright subsistence, and these cases suggest that much computer-produced output may be authorless and thus lack copyright protection. This article, the first in a two-part series, analyses how each case deals with the question of authorship of computer-produced works and why the use of software diminishes copyright protection for a significant number of computer-generated works. The article critiques the application of conventional notions of human authorship developed in the pre-computer age to modern productions and suggests alternative approaches to authorship that satisfy both the major objectives of copyright policy and the need to adapt to the computer age. The article argues that, without a broader judicial approach to authorship of computer-generated works, Parliament must remedy the lacuna in protection for these ‘authorless’ works. Possible solutions for reform are suggested. In a forthcoming article, the author comprehensively examines those reform proposals

First person – Viorica Raluca Contu
No full textABSTRACT
First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Journal of Cell Science, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Viorica Raluca Contu is co-first author on ‘Lysosomal targeting of SIDT2 via multiple YxxΦ motifs is required for SIDT2 function in the process of RNautophagy’, published in Journal of Cell Science. Viorica is a PhD student at the National Institute of Neuroscience, NCNP, Japan, investigating intracellular RNA degradation by the lysosomes and its possible involvements in disease pathogenesis and treatment.</jats:p
A ‘‘two-step’’ educational approach for patients taking oral anticoagulants does not improve therapy control
No full textBACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
The educational aspect of oral anticoagulant treatment is considered a possible cause of variability in anticoagulation levels. The aim of this prospective study was to investigate whether the time spent in the therapeutic range (TSTR) by patients taking oral anticoagulants could be improved by two different, consecutive educational approaches on the crucial aspects of oral anticoagulant therapy.
DESIGN AND METHODS:
Between May and June 2004, validated interviews were conducted with 240 patients (128 male and 112 female, mean age 50 +/- 12 years) enrolled in the study. Three months later, the patients were randomly allocated to three groups. A course that focused on the questions in the interview was followed by the first group (n = 80); a brochure containing the correct answers to questions was given to the second (n = 81); nothing was provided for the third (n = 79).
RESULTS:
A significant difference was found in the TSTR between the quarters preceding and following the interview. Mean TSTR increase was 13%. Patients that were randomly selected to attend the educational course, read a brochure or do nothing showed similar TSTR percentages in the quarter following the interview. A good control of the anticoagulant therapy (TSTR >70%) was maintained, with no significant variation during the following three-quarters.
INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS:
A two-step educational approach for patients on long-term oral anticoagulation does not improve TSTR percentages in the short ter
