6-908 Intellectual Property Policy
Policy Number: 6-908 Policy Name: Intellectual Property Policy Policy Revision Dates: 9/2018, 9/17, 8/10, 3/01, 6/99, 5/96, Page 1 2/88, 9/87, 9/85 6-908 Intellectual Property Policy The Arizona Board of Regents and the three universities that the board governs, are all dedicated to teaching, research, and the extension of knowledge to the public. The university community recognizes its responsibility to produce and disseminate knowledge. Inherent in this responsibility is the need to encourage the production of Scholarly Works and the development of Intellectual Property (IP), some of which may have potential commercial value. These activities contribute to the professional development of the individuals involved, enhance the reputation of the university in which they work, provide additional educational opportunities for participating students, and promote the public welfare. Board-Owned IP should be appropriately managed in the best interest of the state and the university system. This policy addresses ownership rights and revenue sharing for Board-Owned IP. Compliance with this policy is required for all employees as part of the terms of their employment. This policy also applies to non-employee students of the university and to anyone else who creates intellectual property with significant use of board or university resources. University-wide trademarks, logos, and other board or university indicia or identifiers are not subject to or covered by this policy. Definitions of capitalized terms are included in the final section of this policy. A. Ownership of Intellectual Property. 1. Board-Owned IP: a. The board owns all intellectual property in each of the following categories: (1) Any intellectual property created by an employee in the course and scope of employment; and (2) Any intellectual property created with the significant use of board or university resources. -
Machiavelli and Republicanism in Elizabethan England
Griot : Revista de Filosofia, Amargosa - BA, v.21, n.2, p.221-236, junho, 2021 ISSN 2178-1036 https://doi.org/10.31977/grirfi.v21i2.2386 Recebido: 15/02/2021| Aprovado: 05/05/2021 Received: 02/15/2021 | Approved: 05/05/2021 MACHIAVELLI AND REPUBLICANISM IN ELIZABETHAN ENGLAND Marcone Costa Cerqueira1 Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4539-3840 E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: The purpose of this succinct work is to present N. Machiavelli's classic republican view from his proposition of an inevitable paradox, the founding of an expansionist republic, difficult to govern, or the founding of a stable, but small and weak republic. Such a paradox, according to Machiavelli, should direct and condition all the constitutive devices of the republic when choosing what will be its destiny as a political body. The model of republic preferred by the Florentine will be the expansionist model of Rome, leading him to assume all the devices that gave this republic its power. From this presentation of the Machiavellian proposition, we will analyse the assimilation of republican thought in England from the Elizabethan period, as well as the political-social scenario that exists there. This itinerary will allow us to understand, in general, why classical republicanism was received on English soil from the perspective of establishing a mixed, stable government, thus favouring the spread of the Venice myth as a serene republic and delaying the use, even that mitigated, of the republican presuppositions expressed in the Machiavellian work that directed towards a Roman model. -
Poverty and Human Rights Thomas Pogge Human Rights Would Be Fully Realized, If All Human Beings Had Secure Access to the Objects of These Rights
Poverty and Human Rights Thomas Pogge Human rights would be fully realized, if all human beings had secure access to the objects of these rights. Our world is today very far from this ideal. Piecing together the current global record, we find that most of the current massive underfulfillment of human rights is more or less directly connected to poverty. The connection is direct in the case of basic social and economic human rights, such as the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of oneself and one’s family, including food, clothing, housing, and medical care. The connection is more indirect in the case of civil and political human rights associated with democratic government and the rule of law. Desperately poor people, often stunted, illiterate, and heavily preoccupied with the struggle to survive, typically lack effective means for resisting or rewarding their rulers, who are therefore likely to rule them oppressively while catering to the interests of other, often foreign, agents (governments and corporations, for instance) who are more capable of reciprocation. The statistics are appalling. Out of a total of 6575 million human beings, 830 million are reportedly chronically undernourished, 1100 million lack access to safe water and 2600 million lack access to basic sanitation (UNDP 2006: 174, 33). About 2000 million lack access to essential drugs (www.fic.nih.gov/about/summary.html). Some 1000 million have no adequate shelter and 2000 million lack electricity (UNDP 1998: 49). Some 799 million adults are illiterate (www.uis.unesco.org). Some 250 million children between 5 and 14 do wage work outside their household with 170.5 million of them involved in hazardous work and 8.4 million in the “unconditionally worst” forms of child labor, which involve slavery, forced or bonded labor, forced recruitment for use in armed conflict, forced prostitution or pornography, or the production or trafficking of illegal drugs (ILO 2002: 9, 11, 17, 18). -

Why Is There Learning Disabilities? that their use enables children to be taught better. After all, many of these categories were discovered and researched by 'experts', so they must have validity. But in accepting commonly-used categories for children, we also tacitly accept an ideology about what schools are for, what society should be like, and what the 'normal' person should 9 Why Is There Learning Disabilities? be like. Far from being objective fact, ideology rests on values and A Critical Analysis ofthe Birth ofthe assumptions that cannot be proven, and that serve some people better than others. Field in Its Social Context This chapter illustrates the hidden ideology in 'scientific' cate gories and resulting school structures, by examining one category: learning disabilities. The chapter will show that, while discussions Christine E. Sleeter surrounding the emergence and subsequent use of the category were ostensibly about similarities in a certain identifiable group of chil dren, the category developed largely on the basis of an ideology regarding the 'good' US economic order, the 'proper' social function of schooling, and the 'good' culture.

The Concept of Mixed Government in Classical and Early Modern Republicanism
Ivan Matić Original Scientific Paper University of Belgrade UDK 321.728:321.01 141.7 THE CONCEPT OF MIXED GOVERNMENT IN CLASSICAL AND EARLY MODERN REPUBLICANISM Abstract: This paper will present an analysis of the concept of mixed government in political philosophy, accentuating its role as the central connecting thread both between theories within classical and early modern republicanism and of the two eras within the republican tradition. The first part of the paper will offer a definition of mixed government, contrasting it with separation of powers and explaining its potential significance in contemporary political though. The second part will offer a comprehensive, broad analysis of the concept, based on political theories of four thinkers of paramount influence: Aristotle, Cicero, Machiavelli and Guicciardini.1 In the final part, the theories and eras of republican tradition will be compared based on the previous analysis, establishing their essential similarities and differences. Key words: Mixed Government, Classical Republicanism, Florentine Realism, Early Modern Republicanism, Aristotle, Cicero, Machiavelli, Guicciardini. Introduction The roots of republican political thought can be traced to the antiquity and the theories of ancient Greek and Roman philosophers. As might be expected in the two and a half millennia that followed, our understanding of republicanism has been subject to frequent and, sometimes, substantial change. Yet, one defining element has always remained: the concept embedded in its very name, derived from the Latin phrase res publica (public good, or, more broadly, commonwealth), its implicit meaning being that the government of a state is meant to be accessible and accountable to all citizens, its goals being the goals not merely of certain classes and factions, but of society as a whole. -
Holland=S Occupational Personality Types
HOLLAND=S OCCUPATIONAL PERSONALITY TYPES John Holland, Ph.D., professor emeritus at Johns Hopkins University, is a psychologist who devoted his professional life to researching issues related to career choice and satisfaction. He developed a well-known theory, and designed several assessments and supporting materials to assist people in making effective career choices. His theory and assessment tools have helped millions of people worldwide and are supported by hundreds of research studies. Holland’s Theory Holland found that people needing help with career decisions can be supported by understanding their resemblance to the following six ideal vocational personality types: Realistic (R) Investigative (I) Artistic (A) Social (S) Enterprising (E) Conventional (C) Work settings can also be categorized by their resemblance to six similar model work environments. Because people search for environments that allow them to express their interests, skills, attitudes and values, and take on interesting problems and agreeable roles, work environments become populated by individuals with related occupational personality types. Holland’s Six Personality Types The descriptions of Holland’s personality types refer to idealized or pure types. Holland’s personality types are visually represented by a hexagonal model. The types closest to each other on the hexagon have the most characteristics in common. Those types that are furthest apart, i.e., opposites on the hexagon, have the least in common. Listed below are the six Holland Occupational Personality Types. The descriptions of “pure types” will rarely be an exact fit for any one person. Your personality will more likely combine several types to varying degrees. To get a better picture of how your interests and skills relate to the types and to identify your dominant type, you can highlight the phrases in each description that are true for you. -

1 University Honors Program Thesis May 9, 2018 Walking the Tightrope
1 University Honors Program Thesis May 9, 2018 Walking the Tightrope: Liberalization in North Africa The North African countries of Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia provide the opportunity for a fascinating regional examination of authoritarian regime behavior and how these leaders maintain power in a constantly liberalizing and globalizing world. They are cleverer than the West gives them credit for and it will be important to study them further as globalization helps their populations to identify more of the concealed authoritarian mechanisms hidden in their governmental systems. When discussing North Africa, it is critical to understand its central position to countless challenges facing the global community in the present day. Due to the regions proximity to Europe, the Middle East, and Sub-Saharan Africa, Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia play a significant role in population issues such as northward migration (both to North Africa and to Europe via the Mediterranean Sea) and the ongoing refugee crisis stemming from the conflict in Syria that affect European Union States in a variety of ways. These African states have been involved to varying degrees in the United States’ War on Terror and now face even greater difficulties resulting from the spread of terrorist activities and recruitment efforts by the Islamic State and its affiliates. Additionally, these countries and their people are still experiencing the aftershocks of the 2011 Arab Popular Uprising. The APU the toppled the Ben Ali regime in Tunisia and saw the establishment of a new fledgling democracy in the region, while also frightening authoritarian regimes across the MENA region and inciting the Syrian Civil War. -
