The research investigates the main characteristics of harmonizing the copyright laws of post-Soviet non-EU states with European copyright law. The interrelation between these two components - European copyright law, on one hand, and the copyright laws of the post-Soviet non-EU states, on the other, is the main subject of the study. In this research both of these components, as well as their interrelation, are examined with critical perspective. Georgia is selected as typical example of a post-Soviet country aspiring towards European integration but which is not a member of the EU. Since Georgia shares certain similarities with other post-Soviet non-EU states, the copyright laws of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Moldova, Russia and Ukraine are also examined in this context. The final part of the research presents certain proposals for further implementation of EU copyright legislation into those of the post-Soviet non-EU states. All of these practical proposals are based on the theoretical observations and hypotheses elaborated so far, and are oriented to contribute to the process of harmonizing European copyright law with those of the post-Soviet non-EU states.

DPD (Regional Representatives Council) which is the representative of the region can be a counterweight in strengthening the parliamentary system in Indonesia. Since the amendment begun, the Indonesian parliamentary system has changed from a unicameral system to a bicameral system. However, if noticed, the functions, powers and duties set forth in Article 22 D of the 1945 Constitution and Law No.22 of 2003 on the composition and position of MPR (People's Consultative Assembly), DPR (House of Representatives), DPD (Regional Representatives Council) and DPRD (Regional People's Representatives Council), there are many assumptions that whether the function of Regional Representative Council can represent regional's interests. DPD does not only serve as a counselor of regional autonomy board, and does not serve the legislature, as a country that embraces bicameral system. Bicameral is a term of representation system consisting of two chambers, which in Indonesia are known as DPR RI (House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia) and DPD RI (Regional Representatives Council of the Republic of Indonesia) which aims to achieve good government and the achievement of checks and balances between institutions, particularly in the legislature, which is one of the most important elements in the constitutional of the State.

We present a comprehensive theoretical investigation of the electron-phonon contribution to the lifetime broadening of the surface states on Cu(111) and Ag(111), in comparison with high-resolution photoemission results. The calculations, including electron and phonon states of the bulk and the surface, resolve the relative importance of the Rayleigh mode, being dominant for the lifetime at small hole binding energies. Including the electron-electron interaction, the theoretical results are in excellent agreement with the measured binding energy and temperature dependent lifetime broadening. ; We acknowledge financial support from the Basque Government, the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (SFB 277), the Carl Tryggers Foundation and the Max Planck Research Award Funds ; Peer reviewed

The article is devoted to the scientific and theoretical analysis of the current paradigm of development of national climate legislation and legal relations within the Europeanization framework. The subject of the study is the analysis of international legal norms, national legislation and judicial practice in the aspect of adaptation to climate change. The purpose of the article is to provide a comprehensive, integrated study and analysis of the provisions of legal acts from the standpoint of the formation of climate legal relations in the context of ensuring national security. The chosen goal has led to the setting and solution of such tasks as: a) consideration of the theoretical and methodological foundations of the emergence and formation of climate legal relations; b) study of the current provisions of environmental and legal doctrine with regard to the need for adaptation to climate change; c) outlining the ways to improve and further systematize national climate legislation in the context of European integration and sustainable development. The methodological basis of the study is formed by general scientific and special methods of cognition of legal phenomena: dialectical, historical and legal, formal and logical, systemic and structural, theoretical and prognostic, comparative legal, formal and legal, interpretation of legal provisions, legal modeling, etc. The author examines the peculiarities of the formation of climate legal relations which are closely related to environmental and security legal relations, along with energy, agricultural, etc. It is proved that they are gradually being formed and distinguished into an independent interdisciplinary institution of environmental, energy, agrarian, environmental security law, as well as international and EU law, which is likely to become an independent branch of public law in the future. The article emphasizes that the development and implementation of national climate policy (especially in the context of regulatory and legal support) should be fully based on the fundamental provisions of the EU climate policy. The author considers the issues of judicial protection of climate human rights and humanity in case of non-fulfillment of policy and program documents and non-compliance with international obligations by the State. The problems of compensation for climate damage and the impact of climate change on migration processes (climate migration) are outlined. It is argued that modern climate policy should be built on a cross-sectoral level to ensure the preservation of ecosystems, landscape and biological diversity, accelerate the transition to low-carbon energy saving systems, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, expand the use of renewable energy sources, improve energy efficiency, and increase the adaptive potential of natural resources to climate change.

RMD Open 2019;5:e000784corr1. doi:10.1136/rmdopen-2018-000784cor ; Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) encompass a heterogeneous group of rare autoimmune diseases characterised by muscle weakness and inflammation, but in antisynthetase syndrome arthritis and interstitial lung disease are more frequent and often inaugurate the disease. Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) have been proposed for IIMs, but they are sparse and heterogeneous. This work aimed at identifying: i) current available CPGs for IIMs, ii) patients' and clinicians' unmet needs not covered by CPGs. It has been performed in the framework of the European Reference Network on rare and complex connective tissue and musculoskeletal diseases (ReCONNET), a network of centre of expertise and patients funded by the European Union's Health Programme. Fourteen original CPGs were identified, notably recommending that: i) extra-muscular involvements should be assessed; ii) corticosteroids and methotrexate or azathioprine are first-line therapies of IIMs. iii) IVIG is a treatment of resistantDM that may be also used in other resistant-IIMs; iv) physical therapy and sun protection (in DM patients) are part of the treatment; v) tumour screening for patients with DM include imaging of chest, abdomen, pelvis and breast (in woman) along with colonoscopy (in patients over 50 years); vi) disease activity and damages should be monitor using standardised and validated tools. Yet, only half of these CPGs were evidence-based. Crucial unmet needs were identified both by patients and clinicians. In particular, there was a lack of large multidisciplinary working group and of patients' preferences. The ...

The European Union seems to place an increasing rhetorical emphasis on harnessing the transition experience of the new member states. This article examines whether the EU actually makes use of this experience in its promotion of democratic governance in the eastern neighbourhood. The main conclusion is that while reform priorities of the EU in the region are aligned with transition experience, the actual participation of actors from the new members in implementing EU-financed projects aimed at promoting democratic governance is limited. This contradiction should be resolved or it will further erode the credibility of the EU's external policies. Adapted from the source document.
