1079. Development of Tebipenem MIC Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test for Gram-negative Bacteria on MicroScan Dried Gram-negative MIC Panels

Background Development of a tebipenem antimicrobial susceptibility test was completed for the MicroScan Dried Gram-negative MIC (MSDGN) Panel when compared to CLSI broth microdilution reference panels. Methods Development was conducted by comparing MICs obtained using the MSDGN panel to MICs using a CLSI broth microdilution reference panel. A total of 669 Enterobacterales isolates were tested at 16, 18, and 20 hour incubation times using the turbidity and Prompt®* methods of inoculation. MSDGN panels were incubated at 35 ± 2ºC and read on the WalkAway System, the autoSCAN-4 instrument, and read visually. Frozen reference panels, prepared according to ISO/CLSI methodology, were inoculated using the turbidity inoculation method. All frozen reference panels were incubated at 35 ± 2ºC and read visually. Dilution sequence evaluated is 0.03-32 µg/mL. Results When compared to frozen reference panel results, essential agreement for all isolates tested during development are as follows: Conclusion The development data showed that tebipenem MIC results for Enterobacterales obtained with the MSDGN panel correlate well with MICs obtained using frozen reference panels. Essential agreement is > 90% for all inoculation and read methods. For Investigational Use Only.

Product Owner’s Journey to SAFe®—Role Changes in Scaled Agile Framework®

As agile software development methods are spreading through the industry, they are no longer sufficient in their original design. With the increasing adoption by various types and sizes of organizations, these methods are scaled and tailored. The most popular framework for scaling Agile is the Scaled Agile Framework®, registered trademark of Scaled Agile, Inc. Boulder, USA. Some roles originating from the agile methods, such as Product Owner, are part of the framework and are impacted by scaling and tailoring. A Product Owner role is critical to the success of projects in agile environments. This paper aims to describe and discuss the evolution of and changes in Product Owner activities since Agile started to spread in the industry until the current concept of the Product Owner role in the Scaled Agile Framework. By identifying the activities typical of Product Owners outside of the Scaled Agile Framework context and mapping these activities to the Product Owner role description in Scaled Agile Framework, the changes in Product Owner role with respect to time and role specifics in the Scaled Agile Framework are revealed. It was identified that some of the activities previously described for Product Owner are distributed between various roles in the Scaled Agile Framework. In fact, the Product Owner loses the real product ownership in Scaled Agile Framework. The loss of ownership seems connected with the fact that, in the large environments that the Scaled Agile Framework is designed for, it is impossible to cover all required activities by one role using the hierarchical structures with a top-down approach in the Scaled Agile Framework.

Analisis Tagline Merek yang Mengandung Unsur Pornografi di Media Sosial

Brands have economic value so protection is needed. Brand protection arises when registered. But this is excluded against brands that contain elements of decency. In reality many businesses use brands with the word, logo plus taglines that contain pornographic elements. The problem is seen if the brand continues to operate in the middle of society and even penetrated into social media. Based on the results of the study, the arrangement of brand taglines containing pornographic elements on social media is not specifically regulated but spread across various laws and regulations and there is overlapping. In fact the @ngocok.eskopi account with the trademark "Ngocok Es Kopi" passes as a registered trademark. Whereas when viewed with great disalness, both brands, logos and taglines used on social media have given implicit perceptions or images of pornography. In the era of digitization, social media is a potential media for means of promotion, it is fitting that there are special arrangements such as conventional promotion. Various regulations must also be integrated, such as the use of accounts on social media using legal identity (KTP), applying the tagline as a brand definition in the parent rule of the MIG Law, the passing of registered brands is the responsibility of regulators (human factors) and should not be charged to the system alone (technological factors), expanding the limitations of pornography to be explicit and implicit.

A legal protection for domestic well-known mark on impersonation of different kind of goods under Indonesia’s trademark law

Indonesia’s trademark law does not provide provision for legal protection to registered mark which is well-known domestically therefore, there is no legal basis in case there is another party to commit in impersonation the said registered mark in the different kind of goods. On the other hand, protection indicates the address of international well-known marks only. Referring to the trademark law regime which is common universally such as can be found in the Paris Convention and TRIPs Agreement. Otherwise, for impersonation in different kinds of goods, the protection is given for a well- known mark only. However, the said mark must be recognized within the territory where the mark is called as well-known such in certain countries. The purpose of this study is to know the legal protection for the domestic well-known mark on impersonation of different kind of goods under Indonesia’s trademark law. This study is normative legal research with legislation, concept, and comparative approach. The legal material with technical analysis is done by the method of interpretation. Results of this study, The regulation of legal protection for registered trademark owners of impersonation of different kinds of goods should be reregulated (a reformulation of provisions). So that which is a well-known trademark can be in the form of domestic and internationally well-known, therefore the requirements for registration and commercializing of a mark in several countries, not as an obligation to obtain the rights and status become a well-known mark. However, when a mark is factually known and used in Indonesia, the wide scope of international well-known is no need as a mandatory.

Enhancing and Conservation of Ecosystem through Philatelic Education in Europe: Think Green Concept (IV) - The Second Research Study on First-Day Covers

EUROPA stamps are special stamps issued by European postal administrations and bears the official EUROPA logo, a PostEurop registered trademark under the aegis of PostEurop in which Europe is the central theme. EUROPA stamps underline cooperation in the posts domain, taking into account the promotion of thematic philately. They also build awareness of the common roots, culture and history of Europe, and its common goals. As such, EUROPA stamp issues are among the most collected and most popular stamps in the world. Europa Stamps 2016 are very special stamps with the “Think Green” theme aimed to create awareness and give a wakeup call - its time to protect our environment for the better future of the new generations, and to contribute to socio-economical development. In this paper, we propose an insight into the history of European preoccupations for natural heritage conservation and for environmental protection and bring into the discussion only the significant concerns in promoting ecological educational via thematic issues (in this case, Think green! issues). In this context, the main objective was to identify, index, and describe the main philatelic pieces - in particular first-day covers - issued in European countries (starting with Italy and ending with the Vatican), from the beginning of issuing.

Analysing trademark and social media in the fashion industry: tools that impact performance and internationalization for SMEs

PurposeThis research investigates the role that having a trademark and a social media presence play in the development of international activities as well as their influence on performance for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating within the fashion sector of the United Kingdom and Ireland.Design/methodology/approachQuantitative analysis was carried out by integrating information from several data sources. The hypotheses proposed in the authors’ research model are tested on a sample of 102 SMEs, applying bivariate analysis and variance-based structural equation modelling (partial least squares).FindingsBased on the authors’ empirical evidence, the fashion SMEs could improve their performance through two important marketing tools: registered trademark and social media. On the one hand, SMEs with a registered trademark are more present in the international markets, and it also implies higher performance. On the other hand, there is no significant relationship between SMEs with social media and a presence in international markets.Originality/valueThe aim of this paper is to investigate the effect of trademark and social media participation on firms which varies depending on what managers of fashion-related SME companies want to prioritize. Hence, these two marketing tools could be useful for managers to decide on what resources to invest, to register a trademark or to be present in social media, subject to their firms' strategy and objectives.

Enhancing and Conservation of Ecosystem through Philatelic Education in Europe: Think Green Concept (II) - Stamp Research Study

Each year the members of PostEurop issue EUROPA stamps on a common theme. One new twist is that all stamp issuers in the PostEurop area are using the same motif. The 2016 year's theme was the environment. PostNord works actively to take environmental and sustainability responsibilities seriously and have set clear, measurable goals.
