This book was released on 2005-10-10 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Europeanization" of European private law has recently received much scrutiny and attention. Harmonizing European systems of law represents one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. In effect, it is the adaptation of national laws into a new supra-national law, a process that signifies the beginning of a new age in Europe. This volume seeks to frame the creation of a new European Common Law in the context of recent events in European integration.Engaged in timely and cutting edge research, the authors cast into fine relief the building of a European Common Law. The work is envisioned as a guide and written in a research friendly style that includes text inserts and an extensive bibliography. In particular, this book seeks to orient lawmakers, as well as those individuals interested in EU law, in the intricacies of consumer protection, contractual law, timesharing, and other important aspects in the harmonization of domestic and EU law books. The detailed analysis and research this volume accomplishes is invaluable to those scholars and lawmakers who are the next generation of European leaders.

Download or read book Legal Aspects of Autonomous Systems written by Dário Moura Vicente and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024-01-02 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As computational power, the volume of available data, IT systems’ autonomy, and the human-like capabilities of machines increase, robots and AI systems have substantial and growing implications for the law and raise a host of challenges to current legal doctrines. The main question to be answered is whether the foundations and general principles of private law and criminal law offer a functional and adaptive legal framework for the “autonomous systems” phenomena. The main purpose of this book is to identify and explore possible trajectories for the development of civil and criminal liability; for our understanding of the attribution link to autonomous systems; and, in particular, for the punishment of unlawful conduct in connection with their operation. AI decision-making processes – including judicial sentencing – also warrant close attention in this regard. Since AI is moving faster than the process of regulatory recalibration, this book provides valuable insights on its redesign and on the harmonization, at the European level, of the current regulatory frameworks, in order to keep pace with technological changes. Providing a broader and more comprehensive picture of the legal challenges posed by autonomous systems, this book covers a wide range of topics, including the regulation of autonomous vehicles, data protection and governance, personality rights, intellectual property, corporate governance, and contract conclusion and termination issues arising from automated decisions, blockchain technology and AI applications, particularly in the banking and finance sectors. The authors are legal experts from around the world with extensive academic and/or practical experience in these areas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.

Download or read book La protecci n del consumidor frente a los da os written by María Ángeles Parra Lucán and published by Editorial Reus. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro explica cuáles son las reglas de responsabilidad extracontractual del Derecho español aplicables a los daños que pueden sufrir en su integridad psicofísica o en sus bienes quienes usan o consumen productos (botellas que explotan, intoxicaciones alimentarias, efectos secundarios de medicamentos...) o reciben la prestación de servicios defectuosos (reparaciones de vehículos o ascensores, intervención quirúrgica que provoca la muerte, instalación o revisión de gas deficientes...). Los daños pueden padecerlos también quienes no son considerados consumidores en sentido legal, pero el principio constitucional de protección del consumidor exige una mayor protección a las víctimas, lo que dio lugar a la promulgación de un régimen específico de responsabilidad. Sin embargo, la presencia de otras finalidades e intereses, como la armonización de las normas de los Estados para garantizar la libre circulación de las mercancías en el mercado interior de la Unión Europea o la posibilidad de lograr seguros de responsabilidad más baratos, ha propiciado la promulgación de normas que suponen un recorte en la protección de los intereses de los consumidores. Junto a ello, el texto refundido de la Ley General para la Defensa de los Consumidores y Usuarios regula de manera conjunta la responsabilidad del suministrador de un servicio y la del fabricante de productos defectuosos, pero la relación entre ambos regímenes es extremadamente difícil. Este libro ofrece respuestas a los complejos problemas de interpretación que se plantean en el ámbito de los daños a consumidores (¿quién debe responder?, ¿de qué daños?, ¿con arreglo a qué régimen de responsabilidad?). Dirigido fundamentalmente a los aplicadores del Derecho, en especial a abogados, jueces y magistrados, también presenta interés para otros profesionales jurídicos dedicados al Derecho del consumo, así como para los empresarios y profesionales que son responsables de los daños causados por los productos que introducen en el mercado o por los servicios que prestan. Ma Ángeles Parra, catedrática de Derecho civil en la Universidad de Zaragoza y autora de numerosas publicaciones y monografías jurídicas, es especialista en Derecho del consumo y en Derecho de daños.

Download or read book Benchmarking Water Services written by Enrique Cabrera Jr and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2011-03-01 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benchmarking has become a key tool in the water industry to promote and achieve performance targets for utilities. The use of this tool for performance improvement through systematic search and adaptation of leading practices, has expanded globally during the past decade. Many ongoing projects worldwide aim to address different needs and objectives, in varying contexts, with outstanding results and impact. Benchmarking Water Services provides valuable information to everyone interested in benchmarking in the water industry. The text is aimed at utilities considering joining a benchmarking project, experienced practitioners in charge of organizing a benchmarking exercise, consultants, regulators and researchers. The document is presented with a clear practice oriented approach and can be used as a how-to-benchmark guide presented from different perspectives (participants, organizers, supervising bodies). Readers will gain practical insight on real life benchmarking practices and will benefit from the experiences gained in some of the leading benchmarking projects of the water industry (including the IWA-WSAA benchmarking efforts, the European Benchmarking Co-operation and the several benchmarking projects carried out in Austria and Central Europe). The manual also presents the new IWA Benchmarking Framework, which aims to harmonize the terms used to describe benchmarking and performance indicators practices in the water industry, guaranteeing a more fluent and efficient communication. This Manual of Best Practice is edited by the IWA Specialist Group on Benchmarking and Performance Assessment, and co-published by AWWA and IWA Publishing. Praise for Benchmarking Water Services: "The continual trend of conceptual to specifics throughout the book provides for an educational experience each time the book is either casually perused or carefully studied." "The authors (Cabrera, Haskins and Fritiz) diligently pursue the focus of improvement."

This book was released on 2018-12-28 with total page 731 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of artificial intelligence (AI) has made tremendous advances in the last two decades, but as smart as AI is now, it is getting smarter and becoming more autonomous. This raises a host of challenges to current legal doctrine, including whether AI/algorithms should count as ‘speech’, whether AI should be regulated under antitrust and criminal law statutes, and whether AI should be considered as an agent under agency law or be held responsible for injuries under tort law. This book contains chapters from US and international law scholars on the role of law in an age of increasingly smart AI, addressing these and other issues that are critical to the evolution of the field.
