Het gebrek in het leerstuk van de zaakaansprakelijkheid
No full textVolgens de huidige leer is men aansprakelijk voor de schade die wordt veroorzaakt door de gebrekkige zaken waarover men de bewaring heeft. Vele aansprakelijkheden worden door rechters op die manier uitgelegd, zoals onder meer deze voor schade door vallende bomen, brekende nutsleidingen en obstakels op de weg.
In dit boek wordt aangetoond dat deze uitleg niet voor al deze aansprakelijkheden even gepast is. In werkelijkheid worden ook andere aansprakelijkheden toegestaan dan deze voor schade veroorzaakt door de gebrekkige zaken zelf.
Door de algemeen gangbare leer te toetsen aan de beslissingen die rechters in werkelijkheid nemen, maakt Jochen Tanghe een originele en verfrissende analyse van een leerstuk dat dringend toe was aan verduidelijking. Aan de hand van vele voorbeelden toont de auteur aan dat sommige algemeen aanvaarde leerstellingen over het gebrek van de zaak niet overeenstemmen met de beslissingen die rechters blijken te nemen.
Na een deconstructie wordt de theorie over het gebrek van de zaak weer opgebouwd. Daarbij wordt aansluiting gevonden bij algemene principes over aansprakelijkheid en worden ook verbanden gelegd met andere begrippen zoals oorzakelijkheid en bewaring.
Dit boek is in het bijzonder interessant vanwege zijn unieke benadering. De juridische leer wordt niet beschouwd als een onwankelbaar geheel van directieve regels, maar wel als een wetenschappelijk-descriptieve omschrijving van de juridische realiteit, waarvan de accuraatheid kan worden getoetst aan rechterlijke beslissingen. Om die reden is het boek niet alleen interessant voor rechters, advocaten en andere praktiserende juristen, maar vormt het ook een voortreffelijke bijdrage aan de rechtswetenschap.
Dit boek is de handelsversie van het proefschrift waarmee Jochen Tanghe in 2021 aan de Universiteit Gent promoveerde tot Doctor in de Rechten onder promotorschap van prof. dr. Marc Kruithof. Momenteel is hij doctor-assistent in het vakgebied schadevergoedingsrecht

UKMARC AMC: Draft Rev 4.0: UK MARC format for archives and manuscripts control (UK MARC AMC)
No full textThis draft is the first attempt to establish a UK MARC specifically for Archives and Manuscripts Control since the British Library indicated that it would countenance such extensions to the national UK MARC format. In order to keep consistency with the general UK MARC format, standard UK MARC subject fields are not included in this document, since they should be taken from the latest version of the UK MARC manual. {A note of them should perhaps be included in UK MARC AMC.} {NB Text in braces is intended to be explanatory material for readers of this draft}. Certain other fields have not been included that might occasionally be used in the cataloguing of archival materials but would generally only be used for such materials in organizations which were combining archive
databases with library databases. This MARC version is intended for use with descriptions of archive or anuscript material that follow, or fit, the traditional style of cataloguing: we assume that these will normally relate
to paper or parchment originals. It is not intended for use with descriptions of other kinds of material. For these, fields may be drawn from the appropriate UK MARC document. MARC versions for use with archives in special formats should be developed, in order to complete the full range of facilities available to archivists and curators

Populism, populists, european democracies and European Union. The Italian case
No full textIn this chapter, the author starts by a necessary clarification of some notions as populism and fascism because there is a lot of confusion in the public debate but also a lot of academic controversies. The debate has been immediately re-launched in September 2022, after the victory at the general elections of Giorgia Meloni’s head of Brothers of Italy, a party who has a neo-fascist legacy, and after her nomination as chief of the Italian government. Marc Lazar concludes this first part of the chapter by giving what he calls an operative definition of populism, populist and fascism. In a second part, the author analyses Meloni’s party Brothers of Italy and proposes a characterisation of this party which is evolving. In a third part of the chapter, Marc Lazar reflects on what does Meloni and her party on Italian democracy and on the European Union but also what the Italian democracy and the European Union do to Meloni and Brothers of Italy. For the author, the Italian democracy and the European Union demonstrate a high capacity of resilience to the populist challenge and a propension of acculturation of the populists’ leader and party. He concludes pointing out that is a working progress, the end of which is unknown
Managing Technology Risks Through Technological Proficiency: Guidance for Local Governments
No full textLike most organizations, local governments face challenges managing technology, the critical resource to meet evolving public service expectations. But benefits associated with adapting the latest technology come with risks, some more apparent than others.
This report details the problems facing municipal officials as they try to maximize the benefits of technology for their communities and constituents in the face of cybersecurity, legal, operational, financial, reputational and societal risks.
The report concludes that top municipal officials must create and maintain an environment of “technological proficiency.” That includes creating a process for making technology decisions, developing an annually reviewed technology plan that is tied to the budget, instituting a “cyber hygiene” training program for all employees in proper computer security practices, and making sure that agency technology is competently managed.
The report is supplemented by a "Best Practices and Resources Guide" that organizations can use to achieve technology proficiency. It provides best practices based on an organization's technology profile.Report and Supplement were prepared for the Municipal Excess Liability Fund, a joint insurance fund of over 600 New Jersey local government agencies
