In this paper we attempt to identify eviction judgements within all case law published by Dutch courts in order to automate data collection, previously conducted manually. To do so we performed two experiments. The first focused on identifying judgements related to eviction, while the second focused on identifying the outcome of the cases in the judgements (eviction vs. dismissal of the landlord’s claim). In the process of conducting the experiments for this study, we have created a manually annotated dataset with eviction-related judgements and their outcomes.

Continual Learning

Many companies have tried to automate data collection for handheld Digital Multimeters (DMM) using Optical Character Recognition (OCR). Only recently have companies tried to perform this task using Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, Cal Lab Solutions being one of them in 2020. But when we developed our first prototype application, we discovered the difficulties of getting a good value with every measurement and test point.A year later, lessons learned and equipped with better software, this paper is a continuation of that AI project. In Beta-,1 we learned the difficulties of AI reading segmented displays. There are no pre-trained models for this type of display, so we needed to train a model. This required the testing of thousands of images, so we changed the scope of the project to a continual learning AI project. This paper will cover how we built our continuous learning AI model to show how any lab with a webcam can start automating those handheld DMMS with software that gets smarter over time.

Genetics Screening

1540 Background: Pathogenic variants in BRCA1/BRCA2 can affect a breast CA pts care: preventative interventions, surgical decisions, medical treatments, screening, and family counseling. National data suggests significant non-adherence to NCCN testing guidelines, with only 1/3 of eligible pts referred for genetic services. In 2018, OHC (Cincinnati) launched an APP-centric genetics program. Specially trained APPs carry out genetic counseling and order NCCN-compliant testing. Early data suggested a significant deficit in physician-driven referrals. From 1/01/18 - 07/31/18, 138 new breast pts were estimated to be NCCN guideline-eligible. Only 28 (20%) pts received genetic services. Methods: In 2019, the OHC genetics team implemented a standardized screening process for every new breast CA pt. An EMR template (iKnowMed G2) that included NCCN guidelines was created for initial breast CA consultation and Oncology Care Model (OCM) treatment planning. All pts, not just OCM pts, are subject to OCM treatment planning. This automated screening method ensured all breast CA pts were screened, drastically increasing compliance. Through integration of genetics screening into the templates, pts meeting NCCN criteria for testing are reflexively referred for genetic counseling. With USON/McKesson, integrated data fields were developed in the EMR to automate data collection. Results: From 01/01/19 – 12/31/19, 717 new breast CA pts were seen at OHC. 676/717 (94%) were screened. Of those screened, 279 new breast CA pts met NCCN criteria for BRCA testing. 140 (50%) eligible new pts had appts with the genetics team. Another 50 (18%) had confirmed testing outside of OHC. 57 (20%) refused appts and/or testing. 32 (11%) did not have appts, representing screen fails. Referrals in non-breast CA pts also increased by 127%; 604 (2019) vs 264 (2018) suggesting a halo effect. Analyses suggest the program to be economically viable, with a financial growth rate of 127%. Conclusions: EMR templates embedded with the NCCN guidelines for reflex genetics referral can appropriately increase the utilization of genetic services. Breast genetics screening and resultant appt/testing rates increased significantly 2019 vs 2018. Success in BRCA testing in breast CA will lead to expansion to other cancers and genes. Implementation of structured EMR genetics data fields can automate data collection and measure compliance. Integration of genetics screening into universal OCM treatment planning is feasible, economically viable and scalable.

BackgroundOld age psychiatry is no less subject to increasing legal and quasi-legal restraint than other branches of the profession, but the emphases are different. Two themes predominate: first, that of capacity or competence; and second, to what extent formal legal measures should be implemented in cases where incapacitated patients do not dissent from, as opposed to giving active consent to, admission to hospital or receiving treatment.AimsTo discuss the issues of capacity or competence, especially in relation to recent legislation and judgements and to proposed legislation in England and Wales.MethodSelective review and discussion of recent case law and current and proposed statute law.Results and conclusionsThe Bournewood case threatened but ultimately failed to upset the status quo. However, the European Convention on Human Rights and the British Human Rights Act 1998 may yet do so.

The term “racial profiling” describes race-based selection of citizens for interdiction by police and other legal actors. Several studies have examined whether police disproportionately stop minority citizens both in cars and on foot, and, once stopped, whether police are more likely to search or arrest them. Whether these contacts are racially motivated has been the focus of research, litigation, political mobilization, and internal scrutiny by police departments. This article reviews definitions of practices that are commonly described as racial profiling, contrasts these narrow views with the more complex legal standards that have evolved in case law, and assesses whether recent data collection efforts can generate reliable information about the extent and nature of racially disproportionate police contacts with citizens. Data analysis procedures are identified to respond to both legal and normative questions about whether racial disparities in police stops and searches rise to the level of “profiling” and cross the threshold of a violation of constitutional guarantees. The article concludes with a brief discussion of mechanisms for regulating and monitoring police-citizen contacts to address concerns of police and citizens on the racial dimensions of policing.

This chapter reviews measurement technologies that have rapidly invigorated the study of judicial behavior, examining the standard approach to measuring judicial “ideal points” and discussing how such measures have facilitated broad new lines of inquiry in understanding judicial decision-making. But the measures, as this chapter explains, are no panacea. Proper use and interpretation depend critically on qualitative assumptions and understanding of underlying case law. This chapter argues that the way forward combines jurisprudentially meaningful data collection with advances in measurement technologies. These concepts are illustrated by empirically informing a long-standing debate about the effect of the Nuremberg trial on Justice Jackson’s jurisprudence.

Abstract In this article it is shown that the institutional preconditions of the activity type adjudicating a freedom of speech case leave much room for strategic manoeuvring with topical selection. To this end, an analysis is presented of the argumentation of the District Court in a case against the Dutch anti-immigration politician Geert Wilders. In order to show the space for manoeuvring, this argumentation, resulting in acquittal, is compared with the argumentation put forward by the Court of Appeal, which had ordered, after the Public Prosecution Service’s refusal to do so, that Wilders be prosecuted. The analysis shows that the District Court made ample use of the space for manoeuvring provided at the normative level concerning the interpretation of legal rules and case law, and the space provided at the factual level of classifying the contested facts in light of the previously identified meaning of a rule.

Recent additions to the Canadian Macromolecular Crystallography Facility have expanded the capabilities of its bending magnet beamline. It is now possible to perform x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) on crystals. A wide range of biologically relevant metals can be further studied, supplementing diffraction data. XAS can be used to determine if metalloproteins are photoreducing during diffraction data collection. The geometries of metal complexes can also be inferred with near-edge and EXAFS data, often more accurately than crystallography. CMCF-BM can be employed to do the abovementioned techniques on powder and solution samples that contain a metal of interest. One XAS-based technique that shows promise is single crystal plane polarized EXAFS. This technique combines crystallographic data with the findings from XAS to yield a high resolution three dimensional atomic model. More recently a number of the procedural steps required for the acquisition of XAS-based data have been automated in the MxDC software suite. These changes to data collection make it easier for users new to these disciplines to run the XAS-based experiments. By having the necessary equipment to do XAS at a protein crystallography facility, researchers who may not have had the opportunity delve into the field of XAS now can do so with minimal risk in terms of materials, funds and time.

<pre>Cultural preservation is a very important thing to do so that the existence of a culture in the community will still be hereditary. All parties should contribute to the preservation of the culture. Moreover, Bali is a culture-based tourist destination in its development. So that culture is typical of Bali where tourists visiting Bali really admire it. One of the events best known by Balinese people is the Bali Arts Festival. The Bali Arts Festival is a cultural event organized by the Provincial Government of Bali with the Bali Provincial Culture Office as the executor. In this study, we want to know whether the role of society in cultural preservation is carried out through an event called the Bali Arts Festival. The research method used is a qualitative method with data collection techniques in the form of interviews and simple quantitative questionnaires distributed to foreign tourists. The results obtained from this study are as follows: The role as an artist, audience, marketer for the Bali Arts Festival event, as parents who support and direct their children, as well as the role of children who love their mothers so that it can take place hereditary.</pre>
