Although inevitably any book on biotechnology is obsolete by the time it appears, there is nothing obsolescent about the dynamism now being displayed in the development of the bioindustries in both continents. We hope The accession of Spain and Portugal to membership of the that the presentations assembled in this volume will testify to this dynamic European Community in January 1985 not only brought new vitality to the development, and stimulate its further promotion.

A reinforcement of Europe’s natural and historical internationalism of Bernardo Sorj outlook was particularly relevant in the context of biotechnology; for the Mark Cantley sophisticated multi-disciplinary scientific base, and the several broad Karl Simpson application areas, force on biotechnology an internationalism both for access to scientific capability, and for access to worldwide markets. Such was the rationale for SOBELA ’: a Seminar on Biotechnology in Europe and Latin America’, which in April 1987 brought some 50 Latin American entrepreneurs, policy-makers and academic leaders to Europe and to Brussels. At the Commission’s Borschette Conference Centre, they heard presentations from eleven of the Community Member States, each emphasising its strengths in biotechnology and its interest in promoting industrial collaboration with firms in Latin America. The seminar was opened by speeches from Vice-President Karl- Heinz Narjes on behalf of the Commission, and by His Excellency Luis Ramiro Alfonsin of Argentina, senior Latin American diplomat in Brussels. In the closing session, Directors-General Paolo Fasella (Science, Research and Development, DG XII ) and Jean Durieux (External Relations, DG I ) welcomed Their Excellencies the ambassadors from Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, Uruguay and Colombia. The conference itself was preceded and followed by visits to the leading centers in the various Member States. The fruits of these exchanges were shown through more than a hundred proposals for industrial collaboration which resulted, many of them now converted into ongoing relationships. The Commission through its Directorate-General for External Relations is continuing to promote such collaboration, helping firms in each continent to find useful partners for trade, investment, technical collaboration or marketing.

  • The Elusive Field of Jewish Latin American Studies
    THE ELUSIVE FIELD OF JEWISH LATIN AMERICAN STUDIES Bernardo Sorj * Published in: Latin American and Caribbean Ethnic Studies, Volume 2, Issue 2 October 2007 , pages 207 - 212 Introduction For a social scientist, Latin American Jewish studies are a minefield. The tendencies toward apologetics, discourses of victimization, and the use of taken-for-granted collective self-representations as analytical tools make it almost impossible to enter it without fright. There are, of course, some valuable individual academic contributions. But most of the scholarly meetings and publications have an ingredient of self- celebration that interferes with the exercise of critical thinking and rigorous conceptual and empirical analysis. These problems are compounded by two factors. The first is the strong multidisciplinary character of Jewish studies in general. This in itself could be an advantage but in practical terms it often becomes a license for non-specialists to invade areas in which they have not mastered the basic tools. The second factor, connected to the fashion of cultural studies, is the sacralization of collective identities and subjective narratives. All too frequently, the appeal to the reader's emotions through the presentation of the author's personal experiences substitutes for the effort to make points on the basis of systematic study. In fact, there are reasons to wonder whether it is possible at all to define Latin American Jewish Studies as a self-sustainable academic field. Most of the scholarly production in Latin American Jewish Studies would more adequately correspond to a field of Latin American Studies on Anti-Semitism. The literature is thin when it comes to other substantive issues like the social dynamics of Jewish communities, their institutions and * Professor of Sociology, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and Director of the Edelstein Center for Social Research ([email protected]).

  • PRESS RELEASE National Academies and the Law Collaborate
    The Royal Society of Edinburgh, Scotland's National Academy, is Scottish Charity No. SC000470 PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release: 11 April 2016 National academies and the law collaborate to provide better understanding of science to the courts The Lord Chief Justice, The Royal Society and Royal Society of Edinburgh today (11 April 2016) announce the launch of a project to develop a series of guides or ‘primers’ on scientific topics which is designed to assist the judiciary, legal teams and juries when handling scientific evidence in the courtroom. The first primer document to be developed will cover DNA analysis. The purpose of the primer documents is to present, in plain English, an easily understood and accurate position on the scientific topic in question. The primers will also cover the limitations of the science, challenges associated with its application and an explanation of how the scientific area is used within the judicial system. An editorial board, drawn from the judicial and scientific communities, will develop each individual primer. Before publication, the primers will be peer reviewed by practitioners, including forensic scientists and the judiciary, as well as the public. Lord Thomas, Lord Chief Justice for England and Wales says, “The launch of this project is the realisation of an idea the judiciary has been seeking to achieve. The involvement of the Royal Society and Royal Society of Edinburgh will ensure scientific rigour and I look forward to watching primers develop under the stewardship of leading experts in the fields of law and science.” Dr Julie Maxton, Executive Director of the Royal Society, says, “This project had its beginnings in our 2011 Brain Waves report on Neuroscience and the Law, which highlighted the lack of a forum in the UK for scientists, lawyers and judges to explore areas of mutual interest.

    Eyewitness Identification Task Force Report to the Judiciary Committee of the Connecticut General Assembly February 8, 2012 February 8, 2012 Dear Members of the Judiciary Committee: The Eyewitness Identification Task Force is pleased to submit this report summarizing its activities and recommendations for policy reform. In 2011, Public Act No. 11-252, Section 2, created the Connecticut Eyewitness Identification Task Force, and mandated that it focus its efforts on: “The science of sequential methods of conducting a live lineup and a photo lineup, (2) the use of sequential lineups in other states, (3) the practical implications of a state law mandating sequential lineups, and (4) other topics as the task force deems appropriate relating to eyewitness identification and the provision of sequential lineups.” The Task Force membership consists of all of the relevant stakeholders and the entire spectrum of critical interests, including: the Co-Chairs and Ranking Members of the Judiciary Committee; a retired judge; representatives of the Offices of the Chief State’s Attorney and Chief Public Defender; representatives of state and local police departments; legal scholars; social scientists; the State Victim Advocate; a representative of the Connecticut Innocence Project; representatives of the public; and representatives of the Bar. The work of the Task Force was greatly facilitated by the collaborative efforts and cooperation of relevant stake-holders, in particular, police and law enforcement. The entire law enforcement community is keenly aware of the risks of erroneous identifications by eye-witnesses. Police and prosecutors are on the front-line of arrests and prosecutions, and understand the critical need to establish reliable identification procedures, while preserving a viable investigative tool in eye-witness identifications.

Social Transformations and the Judicialization of Social Conflict in Latin America The exercise of power, as Michel Crozier taught us, is the ability to control sources of uncertainty and transfer the cost of the unpredictable to other individuals or social groups. The revolution in modern law imposed a state of universal legal uncertainty on social groups, including the elite. In other words, before the law every person was equal and could expect similar punishment. This meant establishing a system for meting out justice that was immune to the transfer of economic or political power

  • A Study Relating to Human DNA Its Ethical Problems and Law
    Legal Status of Human Genetic Material– A Study Relating to Human DNA its Ethical Problems and Law A Thesis Submitted for the Award of Ph.D. degree of UNIVERSITY OF KOTA in the Faculty of Law By Surendra Kumar Under the Supervision of Dr. R.K. Upadhyay Associate Professor DEPARTMENT OF LAW UNIVERSITY OF KOTA KOTA (RAJ.) 2018 CHAPTER–I INTRODUCTION Every day in the newspapers of local, national and international level as well as the television of national and international channel, we read and hear the examples of complicated nature of offences of known and unknown nature. It happens in unknown places and manners and by known or unknown persons like several persons commit adultery with a woman or several persons commit gang rape with a woman or several persons join the commission of an offence or offences with an infant, insane, idiot, illusioned, intoxicated and the like. Sometimes such rape or adulterous relationship result into birth of a child. Therefore, a complicated question arises as to the paternity of the child because it is an age old maxim that “maternity is certainty and paternity is uncertainty”.1 In such matter, in earlier times, super human or super natural means and methods of power used to resolve such issue. But later on these started creating more complications than to resolve the issues. Hence, human being turned towards scientific manner and methods to solve such parentage, heritage, lineage, succession and crime’s issues. The advent of Forensic Science made a revolution in this regard and in the ambit of forensic science, DNA (Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid) test stands on the top.
