The Institutes of Justinian

Anônimo

Sinopse

"The Institutes of Justinian," attributed to the collective effort of eminent legal scholars in the early 6th century, serves as an essential compendium of Roman law, presenting a systematic exposition of legal principles and frameworks. This foundational text is organized into four primary sections—persons, things, obligations, and actions—each meticulously detailed to elucidate the intricacies of the law. Written in a clear and accessible Latin, it emerges during a pivotal moment in legal history, showcasing Justinian's efforts to consolidate and reform the Roman legal system, thereby influencing the trajectory of legal thought in both the Byzantine era and the emergent medieval European legal landscape. The author of this treatise, while anonymous, reflects the collective ethos of Byzantine legal scholars who were entrenched in the societal and intellectual currents of their time. These scholars were tasked with not only preserving but also revamping the legacy of Roman law amidst the challenges of governance, cultural shifts, and the decline of traditional Roman institutions. Their work demonstrates a profound understanding of legal theory and its practical applications, informed by the unique challenges of 6th-century Byzantium. For scholars, legal professionals, and enthusiasts alike, "The Institutes of Justinian" is an indispensable text that offers remarkable insights into the foundation of Western legal systems. Its detailed analysis and enduring relevance make it a critical resource for those seeking to comprehend the evolution of legal thought and its implications for modern jurisprudence. This text is not only a window into ancient legal practices but also a lasting testament to the complex interplay of law, society, and governance.

Killer Acquisitions in Digital...

Giulia Sonderegger

In her PhD thesis, Giulia Aurélie Sonderegger analyses killer acquisitions, which, in short, are acquisitions that aim to pre-empt potential future competition at an early stage. While this phenomenon was originally discovered in pharmaceutical markets, this thesis exclusively discusses killer acquisitions in the context of digital markets, thereby primarily focusing on the current European Merger Control Regulation (EUMR). The main research question is whether the EUMR is appropriate to tackle killer acquisitions occurring in digital markets, and if not, in what ways it needs to be amended to better address the challenges in the future. To tackle this question, the author assesses both the economic and legal effects of killer acquisitions on merger control in digital markets and, based on her findings, suggests amendments to the current European merger control regime. For a more comprehensive analysis, this thesis also includes an assessment of the recently enacted Digital Markets Act (DMA) to ascertain whether this regulation may serve as an additional tool to remedy such transactions.

For the Bees - A Handbook for...

Tara Dawn Chapman

A handbook for what to expect the first year of beekeeping and beyond. 
 
 
 
The path to becoming a successful beekeeper begins with a deep understanding of the bees themselves. Taking an approach that is both holistic and practical, Tara Chapman, founder and operator of Austin's beloved Two Hives Honey, begins with a primer on honey bee biology and nutrition as well as beehive architecture. (Did you ever wonder why honey combs are composed of tiny hexagons?) A little scientific knowledge goes a long way: a beekeeper who understands how these fascinating creatures work will be better equipped to recognize a particular colony's needs, make sound decisions when the unexpected happens, and adapt their care regimen to changing conditions. Moving beyond the basics, Chapman shows potential beekeepers how to spot pests and diseases; manage swarms (those bees aren't angry; they're just looking for a good home); and, of course, harvest delicious homegrown honey. 
 
 
 
Imbued with the joy of the beekeeping journey, For the Bees provides practical visual explanations through appealing illustrations, that, alongside Chapman's own stories from the bee yard, share the charms of these essential insects.
