Генетски инжењеринг и патентна правила

Author(s): Gordana M. Damjanović / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

Biotechnology is a complex technology representing a sum of cellular and bi-molecular processes created in order to solve problems in the area of human health, agriculture, food and environment. Modern biotechnology includes the area of genetic engineering and cloning. While the cloning method presents a reproduction without fertilization, applied both to animals and man, used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, genetic engineering is a technique that is performed as planned clipping of genes perceived as a bearer of organism characteristics and its transplanting into another organism. The legal framework for protection of above mentioned patent for a biotechnological invention is given by Biotechnology Directive of the EU. The national patent rules are harmonized with the EU Directive. The achievements of biotechnology are the base for understanding, diagnosis and treatment of human diseases, but also a good base for better understanding of medicine. Unfortunately, there are always two sides to a coin. For example Injecting human genes into the pig embryo, in order to achieve the faster growth of the aforementioned animal, created transgenic pigs „freak“, because the human gene caused changes in metabolism in an unexpected way. The abuses of this kind can lead to various risks to human health. Today, patents in biotechnology are the real challenges for patent laws that have to adjust to rapid changes.

Уставно право човека на здрав живот - најважније право теће генерације -

Author(s): Dragan Bataveljić / Language(s): Serbian Publication Year: 0

In this paper the author initially points out that the man's and citizen's freedoms and rights can be divided into three groups, namely: the rights of the first, the second and the third generation, and that this very constitutional right of man to a healthy life is their most important one, belonging to this third group as mentioned. It has been known for a long time that the influence of environment is of crucial importance to health. However, the interest in said influence has begun to increase only following the 70s of the 20th century. On the occasion of the United Nations Conference in Stockholm in 1972, the third-generation rights, in the first instance the right to live in a healthy environment, were mentioned for the first time. Thereafter, a joint initiative for the protection of man's health has been launched in the whole world, as people have finally understood that their initiative would gain much more effect if they cooperate and if ecological problems turn from local problems into global ones. Considering that, European environmental legislation is highly developed in that sense, just like environmental awareness, while the goal and task of other, less developed countries striving to join the European Union is the enhancement and harmonization of national with European legislation.

Climate-Migration Nexus:Coping With Security-Oriented “Adaptation-Relocation” Approach Through Emerging Bottom-Up, Global, Subjective, And Multi-Faceted Governance

Author(s): Camille Menu / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Research appears to be at an impasse on governance of environmental displacement (Hathaway 2017). Going beyond, this paper analyses mobilizations’ historicity, underlying concepts, interests, pitfalls and perspectives. This systematic review suggests that we need to shift from the security-oriented, state-led governance which the "adaptation-relocation" approach is in line with towards a subjective and multi-faceted governance scheme which conceptual framework remains uncertain, appraising the role of systemic instruments such as human rights to ensure holistic coherence.

Ekofeministička analiza vrijednosti i filozofija globanih ekosela: Jesu li žene sklonije kolektivizmu i antihijerarhiji nego muškarci?

Author(s): Martina Topić / Language(s): Croatian Publication Year: 0

This paper analyses global eco–villages with a particular focus on leadership styles between men and women. Besides that, the paper analyses to what extent are women more inclined towards equality, anti–hierarchy and collectivism, in line with the values of ecofeminism. The paper is founded on constructivist epistemology and uses qualitative analysis of Internet pages of 10 eco–villages from India, USA, Germany, Australia, Portugal, Italy, Costa Rica, Sri Lanka, Peru and Scotland. The paper explores whether women founded eco–villages and if so, whether there are any differences in managing and leading between men and women, in line with the difference approach and values of ecofeminism (anti–hierarchy, equality and collectivism). The results show that out of 10 analysed villages, six were founded or co–founded by women, and there is a difference between leadership and managerial styles between women and men with the majority of ‘women’s’ eco–villages being founded on the values of ecofeminism. The results also show the necessity of anti–essentialist approach to ecofeminism since there are also villages in which women demonstrate values usually ascribed to men.

Wcielić się nie znaczy zrozumieć. Krytyczna refleksja o symulacjach niepełnosprawności

Author(s): Kamila Albin / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

This paper gives critical consideration to the so-called disability simulations, a widespread practice during disability awareness trainings, conducted in different age groups: for students of primary schools, high schools, administrative staff, cultural institutions, etc. It is commonly believed that „embodiment” into a person with disabilities can have a positive impact on attitudes towards people with disabilities. On the other hand, some activists and researchers claim that such disability simulations can reinforce prejudices and negative stereotypes, portraying disability as an individual experience and personal tragedy. This stands against the notion of the social model of disability. Using an autoethnographic perspective, the author, basing herself, among other things, on her own experience as a trainer, analyses the practice of disability simulations trainings. The aim of the analysis is not only to take a critical look at what is becoming a common method of teaching about disability, but also to look for alternatives that promote social understanding of disability.

Wsparcie studentów z zaburzeniami psychicznymi wyzwaniem dla uczelni wyższych

Author(s): Anna Dobrychłop / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The situation of people with mental disorders is more difficult and more complex than the situation of people with other types of disability. Perceiving them, through the prism of negative stereotypes functioning in society describing the disease, as well as the mentally ill person itself, causes many, often irreversible consequences. Support for students with mental disorders but also those experiencing mental health crises is an important challenge faced by universities in Poland today. On the one hand, each university is required to adapt the form of education to the needs and capabilities of students with disabilities, on the other hand, the lack of specific procedures defining the type, form and principles of providing support in relation to the mentally ill, often does not allow for taking appropriate actions. This reality is not facilitated by the existence of many harmful stereotypes, and as a result social isolation from the mental ill.

Między niepełnosprawnością a przekładem. Osoby niepełnosprawne jako twórcy i odbiorcy przekładu

Author(s): Wojciech Figiel / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

This paper deals with the relations between the phenomena of disability and translation studies. Translation studies and disability studies are relatively new fields, which up until recently had little in common. However, for more than a dozen years now, scholars of translation have focused on research concerning access services for people with disabilities. These services include, among others, audio description, sign language interpretation and subtitles for the deaf and the hard of hearing. However, there is not too much research concerning people with disabilities as creators, and not recipients, of translation. There is also a lack of translation scholars with disabilities. The interdisciplinary perspective of sociology of translation and disability studies may help to bridge this gap by providing a more inclusive approach to studies on translation.
