Electrified Democracy: The Internet and the United Kingdom Parliament in History (Law in Context)
by Andrew BlickThe story of how the UK Parliament came to use the Internet from the 1960s onwards has never been told. Electrified Democracy places the impact of technology on parliamentary workings in its longer term historical context. The author identifies repeating patterns of perception and analysis, and cultural tendencies in the perception of inventions dating back over centuries that have reasserted themselves in connection with the parliamentary response to networked computers. He uncovers evidence and makes new connections, while situating all this within the wider global debates on connections between communication and democracy in the age of the Internet, constitutional law and history, and 'law and technology'. This book will be of interest to a wide readership including policy makers, researchers, and all those interested in contemporary controversies about the role of the Internet in modern societies.
Electronic Commerce and International Private Law: A Study of Electronic Consumer Contracts (Markets And The Law Ser.)
by Lorna E. GilliesElectronic Commerce and International Private Law examines the maximization of consumer protection via the consumer's jurisdiction and law. It discusses the proposition that a new connecting factor be used to improve the efficiency of juridical protection for consumers who contract with foreign sellers by electronic means and offers recommendations as to how to amend existing jurisdiction and choice of law rules to provide a basis for the consumer to sue in his own jurisdiction and for the law of the consumer's domicile to apply. The book will be a valuable resource for academics, students and practitioners working in the areas of international private law, electronic commerce law and consumer law.

Electronic Evidence in Civil and Commercial Dispute Resolution: A Comparative Perspective of UNCITRAL, the European Union, Germany and Vietnam (European Yearbook of International Economic Law #27)
by Quynh Anh TranThis book provides a deeper understanding of electronic evidence and its use in civil and commercial dispute resolution. The explosive growth of information technology has had major impacts on the development of the economy, society and also on the improvement of legal proceedings with the use of modern technology in all areas of criminal and civil procedures. This book focuses on the current provisions of UNCITRAL, the European Union, Germany and Vietnam concerning electronic evidence in civil and commercial dispute resolution. It analyses the notion and the basic aspects of evidence and electronic evidence and explores the process of finding electronic evidence. Further, it discusses how the effectiveness of finding electronic evidence can be reconciled with a respect for fundamental rights, in particular with personal privacy and personal data protection. The book subsequently addresses the authentication and admissibility of electronic evidence; the evaluation of electronic evidence and the burden of proof; and the challenges of using electronic evidence in civil and commercial dispute resolution. Finally, it puts forward proposals for promoting the use of electronic evidence in these contexts. As the book focuses on the current texts of UNCITRAL and the civil procedure legislation of the European Union, Germany and Vietnam, it relies on a comparative method which deals with the most significant provisions of the above legislation.

Electronic Payments in the European Market: Creating a Level Playing Field between Banks and Non-Banks (EBI Studies in Banking and Capital Markets Law)
by Jan A. JansThis book offers a holistic approach to the level playing field concept that takes into account six regulatory objectives of the European financial services regulatory framework for banks and non-banks. These intermediate objectives are: (i) facilitating market access by non-banks to provide payment services; (ii) safeguarding the security of the payments market; (iii) safeguarding the integrity of the payments market; (iv) enhancing consumer protection in case of an unauthorised or erroneous payments; (v) allowing non-banks access to payment systems; and (vi) facilitating collaboration between competing payment service providers to develop standards for the payments market that reflect the interests of both banks and non-banks. The book discusses the rules and regulations covering these intermediate objectives to determine the extent to which there is a level playing field between banks and non-banks. In addition, the book provides high-level summaries of competition law requirements and related case law, and will be of interest to researchers, academics, and financial law practitioners.
Electronic Signatures for B2B Contracts: Evidence from Australia
by Aashish SrivastavaThe last few centuries have seen paper-based documents and manuscript signatures dominate the way businesses enter into a contractual relationship with each other. With the advent of Internet, replacing paper-based contracts with B2B electronic contracts is a possibility. However, an appropriate technology and an enabling legislation are crucial for this change to happen. On the technology front this feature has the potential to enable business executives to sit in front of their computer and sign multi-million dollar deals by using their electronic signatures. On the legal front various pieces of legislation have been enacted and policies developed at both national and international levels to give legal recognition to such type of contracts. This book presents the findings of an empirical study on large public listed Australian companies that examined businesses' perception towards the use of electronic signatures in B2B contracts. Essentially, it identifies six key factors that create a disincentive to businesses to move from the practice of paper- based signatures to the new technology of electronic signatures. This book offers legal practitioners, academics and businesses insights into issues associated with the use of electronic signatures and suggests a number of measures to promote its usage in B2B contracts.
Electronic Signatures in Law
by Stephen MasonElectronic signatures are ubiquitous. Anyone sending an e-mail or using a credit card uses one. They can have a bearing on all areas of law, and no lawyer is immune from having to advise clients about their legal consequences. This third edition provides an exhaustive discussion of what constitutes an electronic signature, the forms an electronic signature can take and the issues relating to evidence, formation of contract and negligence in respect of electronic signatures. Case law from a wide range of common law and civil law jurisdictions is analysed to illustrate how judges have dealt with changes in technology in the past and how the law has adapted in response.
Electronic Technology and Civil Procedure
by Zoltán Nemessányi Miklós KengyelThe effect of modern and communication technology on civil procedure first appeared on the agenda of the conference organized by the International Association of Procedural Law in 1999, verifying Lord Woolf's statement from the 90's, that "IT will not only assist in streamlining and improving our existing systems and process; it is also likely, in due course, itself to be catalyst for radical change as well...". At the conference in Pecs in the autumn of 2010 participants from three continents and twenty-five countries examined all aspects of the impact of modern information technology on civil procedure beginning with the electronic submission of the application, ranging from electronic service of documents and electronic means of proof supported by modern information technology. In addition to the practical issues they discussed the possible impact of electronic procedures on traditional principles of civil procedure. The conference book contains seven main reports and eleven correferates, the foreword was written by Prof. Peter Gottwald, the President of the International Association of Procedural Law.

Elektromobilität und die Rolle der Energiewirtschaft: Rechte und Pflichten eines Ladesäulenbetreibers
by Marcel Linnemann Christoph NagelElektromobilität ist spätestens seit dem Pariser Klimaschutzabkommen und Fridays for Future im Fokus der Öffentlichkeit. Bis 2030 soll 20 % des Verkehrs elektrisch fahren. Diesbezüglich stehen oft die technischen Herausforderungen der Elektromobilität im Vordergrund. Die grundsätzlichen Fragen der Energiewirtschaft stehen oft im Hintergrund: Welche Aufgabe hat welche Marktrolle (Netz, Vertrieb, MSB…)? Welche Marktrolle nimmt der Ladesäulenbetreiber ein? Wie wird mit Drittstrommengen durch Ladesäulen auf Betriebsgeländen umgegangen? Diese Fragen und vieles mehr, soll das Buch: Die Rolle des Ladesäulenbetreibers, Elektromobilität in der Energiewirtschaft beantworten. Im Gegensatz zu bestehender Literatur soll nicht die Integration in die Stromnetze oder der Aufbau eines E-Autos im Vordergrund stehen, vielmehr sollen die energiewirtschaftlichen Zusammenhänge und Aufgaben der Marktrollen im Vordergrund stehen. Das Buch soll den klaren Fokus haben, Praktiker in ihrem Arbeitsalltag zu unterstützen.
Elektronik. Hightech in Patenten: Von der Funktelegraphie, dem Transistor bis zum Quantencomputer
by Thomas Heinz MeitingerElektronische Schaltungen werden heutzutage zumeist aus kristallinen Halbleitern hergestellt, in die Fremdatome eingebracht werden (Dotierung). Die Anfänge der Elektronik kennzeichnen jedoch die Elektronenröhren, mit denen die ersten gleichrichtenden und schaltenden Funktionen verwirklicht wurden. Die ersten, auf dieser Technologie basierenden Computer hatten eine geringe Leistung, wiesen dennoch gewaltige räumliche Ausmaße auf. Erst mit der Verwendung von dotierten Halbleitern begann die Miniaturisierung und die dynamische Entwicklung der Elektronik. Dieses Buch zeigt die Entwicklung der hierfür erforderlichen Elektronik von der Analogtechnik mit den Operationsverstärkern über die Digitaltechnik, die letzten Endes ins Computerzeitalter geführt hat, und der Hochfrequenztechnik, die entscheidend die Nachrichtenübertragung bestimmt hat, bis hin zur Leistungselektronik, die eine elektrische Energieversorgung ermöglicht. In diesem Buch werden die hierfür benötigten Erfindungen und die resultierende technische Entwicklung anhand der Hauptansprüche und Zeichnungen aus Patentschriften vorgestellt.

B. der Theorie der authentischen Führung. In das Buch gehen auch neuere Aspekte zum Thema ein, so die Frage nach der Digitalisierung als Führungswerkzeug.
Elements of Ethics for Physical Scientists
by Sandra C. GreerA guide to the everyday decisions about right and wrong faced by physical scientists and research engineers. This book offers the first comprehensive guide to ethics for physical scientists and engineers who conduct research. Written by a distinguished professor of chemistry and chemical engineering, the book focuses on the everyday decisions about right and wrong faced by scientists as they do research, interact with other people, and work within society. The goal is to nurture readers' ethical intelligence so that they know an ethical issue when they see one, and to give them a way to think about ethical problems. After introductions to the philosophy of ethics and the philosophy of science, the book discusses research integrity, with a unique emphasis on how scientists make mistakes and how they can avoid them. It goes on to cover personal interactions among scientists, including authorship, collaborators, predecessors, reviewers, grantees, mentors, and whistle-blowers. It considers underrepresented groups in science as an ethical issue that matters not only to those groups but also to the development of science, and it examines human participants and animal subjects. Finally, the book examines scientifically relevant social issues, including public policy, weapons research, conflicts of interest, and intellectual property. Each chapter ends with discussion questions and case studies to encourage debate and further exploration of topics. The book can be used in classes and seminars in research ethics and will be an essential reference for scientists in academia, government, and industry.
