Thematic Topics Sample Clauses

Thematic Topics. The partners identified the topics they were going to address during their activities. This was an open-ended question so resulted in a large variety of answers that extended beyond biodesign but also addressed notions of citizen science and political issues. We have made an effort to merge and categorise these answers to provide a coherent list of topics addressed by the activities: In the first group we identified topics that are considered by partners to be the ones that fall into the broad category of their biodesign definitions. It is clear that the range of answers / topics is quite wide and one of the key tasks for Phase 2 would be to somewhat consolidate the topics. The current state shows that partners are presenting topics that address mostly the fields within natural sciences (synthetic biology, DNA & molecular biology, (bio)chemistry pharmaceutics, biotechnology, GMOs, hybrid species, stem-cell research, botany). Some partners are focusing more on the methodology of running biodesign activities, while others are focusing more on the impacts and ethical issues of these activities. ● Participation and engagement: ○ What is needed to engage publics in CS activities ○ How to increase youth participation and engagement in CS ○ What can citizens do to get involved in CS? ○ What kind of experiments citizens can run on their own CS experiments? ○ How can everyone start their own investigations? ○ Impact of exhibition on visitors ○ How can one raise interest in scientific topics? ○ How can one present science to the general public and schools? ○ Technofeminism ○ Raising awareness on topics related to biodesign ● Scientific knowledge related topics: ○ Relevance of science to everyday life ○ Democratisation of science, ○ Challenging interdisciplinary ○ Limits of scientific knowledge and CS ○ Leveraging citizen data for environmental justice ○ How to understand science by participating in it ○ Answering questions that scientists have not yet answered ○ Ethical frameworks of using animals ● Education: ○ Multimedia use in a museum and in education ○ Role of CS in education and how to include in school programs ● Links and tensions between industry and public interests One interesting finding is the large focus on the issues and tensions of citizen science itself. This suggests the need to reflect on methodologies, processes and limits that make a citizen science investigation successful in terms of high numbers of participants as well as impacts on the whole...

  • Examples (A) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. §6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability.

(B) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. §6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights. (C) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. §6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment. (D) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection.

The judicial authorities shall have the authority to order prompt and effective provisional measures: (a) to prevent an infringement of any intellectual property right from occurring, and in particular to prevent the entry into the channels of commerce in their jurisdiction of goods, including imported goods immediately after customs clearance; (b) to preserve relevant evidence in regard to the alleged infringement. 2. The judicial authorities shall have the authority to adopt provisional measures inaudita altera parte where appropriate, in particular where any delay is likely to cause irreparable harm to the right holder, or where there is a demonstrable risk of evidence being destroyed. 3. The judicial authorities shall have the authority to require the applicant to provide any reasonably available evidence in order to satisfy themselves with a sufficient degree of certainty that the applicant is the right holder and that the applicant’s right is being infringed or that such infringement is imminent, and to order the applicant to provide a security or equivalent assurance sufficient to protect the defendant and to prevent abuse. 4. Where provisional measures have been adopted inaudita altera parte, the parties affected shall be given notice, without delay after the execution of the measures at the latest. A review, including a right to be heard, shall take place upon request of the defendant with a view to deciding, within a reasonable period after the notification of the measures, whether these measures shall be modified, revoked or confirmed. 5. The applicant may be required to supply other information necessary for the identification of the goods concerned by the authority that will execute the provisional measures. 6. Without prejudice to paragraph 4, provisional measures taken on the basis of paragraphs 1 and 2 shall, upon request by the defendant, be revoked or otherwise cease to have effect, if proceedings leading to a decision on the merits of the case are not initiated within a reasonable period, to be determined by the judicial authority ordering the measures where a Member's law so permits or, in the absence of such a determination, not to exceed 20 working days or 31 calendar days, whichever is the longer. 7. Where the provisional measures are revoked or where they lapse due to any act or omission by the applicant, or where it is subsequently found that there has been no infringement or threat of infringement of an intellectual property right, the judicial authorities shall have the authority to order the applicant, upon request of the defendant, to provide the defendant appropriate compensation for any injury caused by these measures. 8.
