The intersection between Law and Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) is crucial for the protection and assurance of the rights of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This article examines how legislation can be strengthened through ABA practices, promoting more effective inclusion in education, healthcare, and the workplace for individuals with autism. According to Sasson et al. (2013), "ABA-based interventions are essential for improving the social and communicative skills of individuals with ASD." Current legislation, by recognizing

This essay examines the relationship between human rights organizations and information and communications technologies in the 1990s. In these years, personal computers and the internet transformed how people lived and worked. Computers and the internet dramatically affected human rights groups' long struggles for mastery of information.

When people talk about the relationship between human rights and artificial intelligence (AI), the most commonly asked question nowadays is how AI affects human rights. In fact, there is a specific group of human rights that is continuously pointed to as the most exposed to these effects and their protection in the governance and regulation of artificial intelligence is considered a priority issue. This is the case of privacy and data protection, freedom of expression and access to information, equality and nondiscrimination. That these human rights and not others are constantly in the spotlight seems normal if it is understood that artificial intelligence needs data for its design, development and deployment. In essence, data are the raw material that feeds the algorithms which any AI needs to operate. That is why knowing how these data are obtained (with or without authorisation), how they are stored and how they are used, what part is used or excluded, which data are not collected, how they are spread or shared, etc., are very important aspects. At the end of the day, data are important information about our lives and activities.

a l'estació de tren de Bihać, fan tornar un grup de migrants cap a Sarajevo amb autobús, el 10 de novembre de 2018. Fotografia: Alessio Mamo En parlar de la relació entre drets humans i intel•ligència artificial (IA), el més comú actualment és preguntar-se com la IA afecta els drets humans. De fet, hi ha un grup concret de drets humans que constantment s'assenyala com el més exposat a aquestes afectacions; per tant, la seva protecció en la governança i la regulació de la intel•ligència artificial es considera prioritària. És el cas de la privacitat i la protecció de dades, la llibertat d'expressió i l'accés a la informació, la igualtat i la no-discriminació. Que aquests drets humans i no d'altres estiguin constantment al centre d'atenció sembla normal si s'entén que, per al seu disseny, desenvolupament i desplegament, la intel•ligència artificial necessita dades, que són la matèria primera que alimenta els algoritmes amb què es posa en marxa qualsevol IA. És per això que conèixer la manera com s'obtenen aquestes dades (si és amb autorització o sense), com s'emmagatzemen i com s'utilitzen, quina part s'utilitza o s'exclou, quines no es recullen, com es difonen o comparteixen, etc., són aspectes de gran importància. Al final, les dades són informació rellevant sobre la vida i les activitats que desenvolupem les persones.

Este trabajo tematiza la cuestión de los programas informáticos que discriminan, desde la filosofía del lenguaje. En esta disciplina, la bibliografía sobre discurso de odio ha centrado su análisis en los efectos que este produce en los grupos oprimidos. La idea central del presente trabajo será presentar una nueva noción, el discurso influenciado, que permita explicar lo que el grupo opresor es llevado a afirmar en base a la opresión sistemática. Así, el discurso influenciado permitirá tanto explicar la reproducción social de los discursos de odio como enmarcar teóricamente las afirmaciones discriminatorias realizadas por los programas informáticos previamente mencionados.

BackgroundIn the Euregio-Meuse-Rhine (EMR), cross-border collaboration is essential for resource-saving and needs-based patient care within the emergency medical service (EMS) systems and interhospital transport (IHT). However, at the onset of the novel coronavirus SARS-COV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic, differing national measures highlighted the fragmentation within the European Union (EU) in its various approaches to combating the pandemic. To assess the consequences of the pandemic in the EMR border area, the aim of this study was to analyze the effects and “lessons learned” regarding cross-border collaboration in EMS and IHT.MethodA qualitative study with 22 semi-structured interviews was carried out. Experts from across the EMR area, including the City of Aachen, the City region of Aachen, the District of Heinsberg (Germany), South Limburg (The Netherlands), and the Province of Limburg, as well as Liège (Belgium), took part. The interviews were coded and analyzed according to changes ...

The public health crisis generated by the Covid19 pandemic and its consequences, along with the crisis management measures put in place by the European States and Union, deserve an analysis. The brutal socioeconomic and health impacts of this unforeseen crisis should make us reflect, among other things, on crisis management and social protection models, our public policies, political systems and the relationship between technology and human rights.

For this reason, the Coppieters Foundation has released a series of papers by experts to reflect on various topics related to post-Covid19 Europe. Paper #1, focussing on governance, is available here. Paper #2, focussing on the Green Deal and Next Generation EU, is available here. Paper #3, focussing on cross-border solidarity and the national reflex, is available here. Paper #4, focussing on digital rights and technological sovereignty, is available here.

This book is a compilation of all of these papers.

This book introduces us to legal and technical aspects of the Internet. It covers various topics that at first glance seem to be for a specialized audience, such as lawyers and engineers, but the reality is that since the Internet is the most influential technology in our lives, it opens up a field of study and general interest for analysis. And above all it raises the question: is the Internet a weapon or a tool? This research aims to exhort all readers to know the depth of the legal and conceptual nature of the advantages and disadvantages that the use of technology can attract.

This work aims to make a comprehensive analysis related to human rights, transhumanism and posthumanism, specifically in the cyborgs, for this an analysis is made that includes animalism, humanism, transhumanism, posthumanism and machines, in order to Identify each subject conceptually and legally.

With regard to the legal, fundamental human rights theory is included, as well as their generations and the emergence of emerging rights. A catalog of all identifiable human rights is made, as well as legal-social instruments of transhumanism, to conclude with a weighting judgment in a specific case.

This research aims to analyze from a legal perspective and various epistemological frames, a paper refered to human rights, in relation to transhumanism and posthumanism. It will be taken as the central axis, the biotechnology, being more than an object but as an extension of the human body, in order to demonstrate cases of fundamental rights violations of those people who improve themselves technologically, whether by balancing a deficit to improve  physical or mental abilities, in harmony with the the progressiveness of rights.

This presentation introduces the question of how evolving practices around the use of open source information can be harnessed to improve the quality of preliminary examinations? This issue, which resides at the intersection of international criminal justice, human rights, and law and technology scholarship, has yet to be adequately addressed in legal and academic analysis. Finding an answer, we argue, is particularly important in the context of our rapidly expanding digital information ecosystem, where information sources and transmission practices are continuously evolving.
