Case Law Analysis - Intellectual Property
In this unit, you will select a case law pertaining to the topic of intellectual property.
Each case law analysis allows you to express yourself as clearly and fully as possible in dissecting a court decision. The purpose of the assignment is two-fold:
1. To give you the opportunity to read a real court decision.
2. To challenge you to think about how you would have decided the case. In your case law analyses, you must be able to navigate the court's decision and summarize it; you are not expected to act as a judge or an advocate.
Using your selected court decision, prepare an analysis that responds to the following:
1. Articulates the importance, context, purpose, and relevance of law in a business environment:
. Identify the parties who are before the court.
. Provide a brief background to the problem. Summarize the facts in no more than 2–3 paragraphs.
. Identify what is the specific disagreement between the parties.
. Explain the ruling of the court in no more than 1–2 paragraphs.
· Evaluates key judicial concepts that influence the decisions related to business:
. Was there a dissenting opinion? If so, explain why some of the judges or justices disagreed with the majority in the decision.
. Do you agree with the court's decision? Why or why not?
You may choose any court case, either state or federal, as the basis for your case law analysis; however, the case should be applicable to the assignment topic. The recommended Web sites for researching and locating a case are listed in the Resources area.
Your analysis should be no more than two pages, double-spaced. References and citations are to adhere to APA formatting and style guidelines. Prior to submitting your assignment, be sure to review the scoring guide to ensure you have met all of the grading criteria.
RESEARCH PROPOSAL
Community Driven Urban Design: Social Practice Tactics for
Addressing Issues of the Built Environment
ABSTRACT:
Several professionals in the field of architecture and urban design employ creative tactics focused on social impact, civic
dialogue, and grass roots placemaking. Drawing on socially responsible urban design theory, as well as principles of arts-
based civic engagement and social change, these efforts have gained momentum in the 21st century due to a variety of
economic, governmental, social and technological factors. This research capstone will include an extensive literature
review through two courses – PPPM 523 Urban Revitalization and an independent reading course on “bottom-up”
urban design with Professor Philip Speranza – as well as web-based document analysis of select case studies. The
purpose of this study is to locate these tactics within current urban redevelopment policy and arts-based community
development theory, and outline elements of best practice as a means of advancing the field of community driven urban
design.
KEYWORDS:
Urban revitalization, urban designers, built environm.
The use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Singapore public schools is guided by the Ministry of Education (MOE), whose ICT Masterplan (MP) outlines the vision and goals for ICT-in-education. The latest initiative, ICT MP4, has been uploaded onto the internet for public consumption. Through an examination of MP4, I am interested to know how MOE uses language to communicate policy initiatives, and how the usage reflects the ideologies and world-views pertaining to Singapore’s education landscape and society. Hence, my research question:
“What ideologies and realities can be identified through a discourse analysis of the education ministry’s masterplan for ICT in Singapore?”
Using discourse analysis, I examined the linguistic and functional aspects of MP4 at the micro level to uncover strategies used by the authors to persuade readers of their policy. These helped to anchor my macro-analysis of discourse as a social practice, involving the identification of problematisation, power relations, recontextualisation and unquestionable truths. While the MP4 was crafted in a concise and straightforward manner through the use of simple sentence structures and infographics, it seemed to portray a neo-liberal view of the world as a market with unlimited opportunities. It also seemed to promote the ideology that to benefit from the ICT-driven world, the public should continue to support MOE’s initiative and students should equip themselves with the prescribed ICT knowledge and skills which suggested an essentialist philosophy of education. Furthermore, it seemed that the different discourses of policymaking, education, technology and future economy were mixed together to apparently construct a certain identity of MOE with particular values and authority – it was visionary and capable of delivering what it promised, it was the authority in ICT-in-education and it always had the best interests of students at heart.
InstructionsA logic model is a type of planning model. For your.docxnormanibarber20063
Instructions:
A logic model is a type of planning model. For your assignment this week you will utilize the following template from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and complete a logic model for your proposed intervention. Logic models are used to "present and share your understanding of the relationships among the resources you have to operate your intervention, the activities you plan, and the changes or results you hope to achieve." (W.K. Kellogg Foundation 2004). A logic model is a great way to show the connections between the different sections of the final project you completed last week (see below).
The first few pages of the template provides you with instructions. Make sure to input your information where it says “Enter Data Here”.
Proposed Intervention:
A behavioral intervention that will help fill the gap of the homeless youth within the United States must incorporate measures aimed at improving the condition of the youth within the streets. First, the condition of the street plays a very big role on the conducts of the homeless youth with regard to the activities that spreads the deadly HIV disease. The homeless youth are independently responsible for their actions, thus, engage in the HIV causing activities due to lack of knowledge on the deadly disease. Therefore, the health workers should utilize the social cognition model to ensure adequate education to the homeless youth about the deadly HIV viral infection by gathering them together5. This will help promote positive behavior among the homeless youth with regard to the deadly HIV viral infection, thus, the gap created in the infectious pandemic will be filled.
Consequently, based on the lifestyle exhibited by the homeless youth within the streets, they are unable to access relevant information with regard to the deadly HIV infection. This negatively influences their sexual habits and the youth often play sex without using protective gargets5. Thus, the heath service provides should use the multiple domain models to effective ensure protective measures among the youth among the youth. They should also inform the homeless youth on how the protective gargets are supposed to be used. This will ensure a positive response to the behavioral conducts of the homeless youth in engaging sex without using protective measures, thus, the gap will be successfully filled.

Fettuccine Truss Bridge
In this project, Student are required to produce or find a precedent study of a truss bridge in a group of 5 people. This project is required us to design and construct a fettuccine bridge with 750mm clear span and maximum weight of the fettuccine bridge is 200g. the design of the fettuccine bridge is using the information we get from the precedent study. the achievement is to achieve as much as load that the fettuccine bridge can handle until the bridge broke.
In a group of 5, we already tried out 3 different types of bridge to make sure which type of bridge or which type of bridge design can handle more load or the strongest bridge design.
