Ideation, Conceptualization, Realization
The software industry is regarded as one of the most creative and dynamic industries in the world. At the same time, sheltering software through copyright and patent law has been a major point of contention for the past 40 years. This doctoral thesis aims to provide new insights to this discussion. Through the use of sociological methodology, it supplies the necessary basic scientific reasearch regarding how software is developed and commercialized nowadays. Based on these findings, it then legally evaluates to what extent copyright and patent law are able to reflect these structures and determines how an optimal protection scope for computer programs could look like today. This doctoral thesis on one hand offers novel insights and points of view on existing legal doctrines. It further acknowledges as well as legally qualifies some prevailing trends in the software industry, such as Scrum and continuous delivery, that have so far been largely unaddressed by copyright and patent law.
Dezentrale Handelsplattformen im Schweizer Finanzmarktrecht
Gegenstand der Dissertation ist eine umfassende rechtstatsächliche und finanzmarktrechtliche Einordnung des Phänomens der dezentralen Handelsplattformen (Decentralized Exchanges, DEX). Der Autor behandelt die Frage, ob dezentrale Handelsplattformen unter Berücksichtigung der mit ihnen verbundenen Innovationschancen und der von ihnen ausgehenden Risiken einen Regulierungsanlass darstellen und wie darauf reagiert werden kann. Die Arbeit zeigt die praktischen Einordnungsprobleme auf, mit welchen das heutige Finanzmarktrecht konfrontiert ist. Um für diese Probleme mögliche Antworten zu entwickeln, erarbeitet der Autor auf der Grundlage eines Rechtsprinzips der Dezentralität Kriterien, welche die Abgrenzung dezentraler Handelsplattformen von Erscheinungsformen erlauben, die über keine ausreichende Verteilung der Kontroll- und Machtstrukturen verfügen (Dezentralitätstest). Der Autor kommt zum Schluss, dass für dezentrale Phänomene in erster Linie Regulierungsansätze überzeugend sind, die ihre Grundlage in einer selbstverantwortlich und wettbewerblich organisierten Finanzmarktordnung haben.
Housing Governance in a Time of Financialization
In recent years, the financialization of housing has become a major challenge to many cities across the globe, not the least because it tends to favor the interests of global finance over the needs of residents. Based on three case studies in the city regions of Zurich, Birmingham and Lyon, the present investigation analyzes the interplay of housing governance and policies over the past 20 years against the backdrop of the financialization of housing.
Bermudian English
The book traces the origins and development of Bermudian English, so as to situate the variety within the canon of other lesser-known varieties of English, and provides a first in-depth description of its variable morphosyntactic structure.
Sleep Medicine and the Evolution of Contemporary Sleep Pharmacotherapy
Sleep is a fundamental physiological feature experienced by all known mammalian, and most non-mammalian, species. Underscoring its importance is the wide array of neural and cellular processes that have evolved to govern when and how it occurs, its duration, sequence of phases, and the influence it exerts on numerous other brain functions. This book takes up the growing prevalence of sleep disorders affecting these processes and the panorama of pharmaceutical tools that have evolved for their medical care. Its wide-ranging discussion promises not only recent updates on their clinical management but a contemporary window into sleep’s cross-cutting relevance for the many neurological dysfunctions now known to associate with sleep disturbances.
Authority and Authorship in Medieval and Seventeenth Century Women's Visionary Writings
In medieval and early modern times, female visionary writers used the mode of prophecy to voice their concerns and ideas, against the backdrop of cultural restrictions and negative stereotypes. In this book, Deborah Frick analyses medieval visionary writings by Julian of Norwich and Margery Kempe in comparison to seventeenth-century visionary writings by authors such as Anna Trapnel, Mary Carey, Anne Wentworth and Katherine Chidley, in order to investigate how these women authorised themselves in their writings and what topoi they use to find a voice and place of their own. This comparison, furthermore, and the strikingly similar topoi that are used by the female visionaries not only allows to question and examine topics such as authority, authorship, images of voice and body; it also breaks down preconceived and artificial boundaries and definitions.
Evidential Legal Reasoning
This book offers a transnational perspective of evidentiary problems, drawing on insights from different systems and legal traditions. It avoids the isolated manner of analyzing evidence and proof within each Common Law and Civil Law tradition. Instead, it features contributions from leading authors in the evidentiary field from a variety of jurisdictions and offers an overview of essential topics that are of both theoretical and practical interest. The collection examines evidence not only as a transnational field, but in a cross-disciplinary context. Each chapter engages with the interdisciplinary themes cutting through the issues discussed, benefiting from the expertise and experience of their diverse authors.
