AbstractDance theorists and legal scholars argue that choreography is by nature ill-suited to the conceptual framework provided by copyright, even as there is widespread agreement that works of dance deserve the legal protection and cultural endorsement that its inclusion represents. I reexamine the factors that are often cited as barriers to choreography's suitability for copyright. I argue that choreography is better suited to the copyright regime than it appears, so long as we recognize that the artistic standard for substantial similarity should be different from the legal standard.

<p>Traditional knowledge, including genetic resources of living organisms, especially plants, plays an extremely important role also in the development of modern science and present-day industry. This prompts us to consider the need, scope, and model of legal protection for such knowledge, both for the needs of the communities that create and cultivate it and for the wider public good. The present article includes an analysis of international legal regulations concerning the protection of traditional knowledge, with particular emphasis on the knowledge related to genetic resources, as well as legal works in this field. The considerations cover issues related to the development of the conceptual framework of such legal norms and the foundations of the legal protection of traditional knowledge, in particular the arguments concerning the need for such protection. The article also presents the basic types of intellectual property rights that can be the basis for legal protection of traditional knowledge.</p>

Ecological safety is not a new area of scientific research, however, there is still no single definition of the concept, and no signs and measures to ensure ecological safety are studied. The paper attempts to consider special aspects of the conceptual framework of environmental and technogenic safety enshrined both in domestic and foreign legislation. The author examines the environmental legislation norms, both Russian and foreign enshrining legal security values in this area, as well as the practice of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation; analyzes various views on the concept of ecological safety. The research sets a goal to identify differences in the content of categories under the study, which is a prerequisite for the efficient activity of an executor of law in the sphere of provision of corresponding types of safety. The author attempts to develop a unified approach to the understanding of ecological and technogenic safety firstly as scientific categories, which in the future can become the basis for consistent implementation of national security policy in the framework of the legal protection of the environment to balance private and public interests. The novelty of the study is in the conclusions about the scope and content of the concepts of environmental and technogenic safety. As a result of the study, the author formulates the differences in the wording of such categories as ecological safety and technogenic safety, attributes of ecological and technogenic safety, and gives their definitions.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the legal protection of subsoil. Based on the analysis of legislation, the author distinguishes the theoretical features of the concepts of "subsoil" and "legal protection of subsoil," an attempt was made to formulate an author's definition of these concepts. The author concludes that it is necessary to recognize the subsoil as an object of environmental and legal protection, taking into account their properties not only as a repository of minerals, energy and other resources, but also as a complex and basic component of the natural environment. The author believes that from the point of view of the interests of subsoil protection, it is advisable to distinguish between the requirements for ensuring the rational use of subsoil and the requirements aimed directly at the protection of subsoil, with the separation of the latter into a separate article of the Subsoil Code of the Republic of Belarus "Subsoil Protection," which will contribute to the development of the environmental focus of legal regulation in this area.

Background: Quantitative studies in several European countries showed that 10–20% of older people have or have had a wish to die. Aims: To improve our understanding of why some older people develop a wish to die. Methods: In-depth interviews with people with a wish to die (n = 31) were carried out. Through open coding and inductive analysis, we developed a conceptual framework to describe the development of death wishes. Respondents were selected from two cohort studies. Results: The wish to die had either been triggered suddenly after traumatic life events or had developed gradually after a life full of adversity, as a consequence of aging or illness, or after recurring depression. The respondents were in a situation they considered unacceptable, yet they felt they had no control to change their situation and thus progressively “gave up” trying. Recurring themes included being widowed, feeling lonely, being a victim, being dependent, and wanting to be useful. Developing thoughts about death as a positive thing or a release from problems seemed to them like a way to reclaim control. Conclusions: People who wish to die originally develop thoughts about death as a positive solution to life events or to an adverse situation, and eventually reach a balance of the wish to live and to die.
