Object Coreference in German: The Reflexive sich as a Problem for Derivational Approaches to Binding

Despite Grewendorf’s well-known German binding data with the double-object verb zeigen ‘show’, where one object reflexively binds the other and which suggests that the direct object (DO) is generated higher than the indirect object (IO), this paper argues for the canonical surface order of IO > DO as base order. We highlight the exceptional status of Grewendorf’s examples, build on scope facts as well as a quantitative acceptability rating study, and exploit the fact that zeigen can also be used as inherently reflexive with idiomatic meaning. Appealing to the base configuration of the pieces of idiomatic expressions and considering different Spell-Out possibilities of coreferential objects in German, we show that the case, number, and gender underspecification of the anaphor sich poses a previously unnoticed problem for derivational approaches to binding.

LEGAL CERTAINTY OF THE DEED OF AGREEMENT MADE BY A NOTARY BASED ON THE POWER TO SELL (CASE STUDY CASE NUMBER: 41/PDT.G/2016/PN.PA)

Default is an omission or negligence, breaking a promise, or violating what has been agreed. One example of an engagement default is case number: 41/Pdt.G/2016/PN.PA. This case began with an agreement between Indoria Hi. The Mpasu brothers were represented by Alfian Chaniago as the authority holder with Lang Hartoyo and Rizal Tjahyadi through a letter of the agreement made by notary XX. Indoria Hi. The Mpasu brothers were unwilling to fulfill the agreement's contents and decided to cancel the agreement unilaterally because they felt they were never involved in the agreement. Based on the case above, a further question arises about how to guarantee legal certainty for authentic deeds and the consequences of the legal deed of agreement that does not follow the procedure. This study is normative legal research, which examines aspects of written law. The approach to the problem in this study is normative juridical, that is, it is based on applicable laws and regulations. In conclusion, the binding deed of the agreement made before a notary does not always go as expected. An authentic deed that does not meet formal requirements is considered imperfect, so it does not have an element of legal certainty. The legal consequence of the deed of the agreement under the power of attorney to sell that is not following the procedure is that the agreement will be null and void.

The Covid-19 Pandemic as The Basis for Termination of Employment in Indonesia, Between Force Majeure or Efficiency (Analysis of Decision Number: 781 K/Pdt.Sus-PHI/2021)

The 2019 Coronavirus Disease (Covid-19) pandemic caused a health crisis and caused economic disruption, one of which was companies experiencing decreased sales or orders, decreased revenues, increased losses, and even company closures. One of the steps taken by the company is to terminate the employment relationship (PHK), which often causes debate about the terms and compensation for the layoffs received by workers. Things that are often debated include whether the layoffs due to the Covid-19 pandemic were carried out based on force majeure or efficiency. This research was conducted to determine how the layoffs are arranged due to force majeure and efficiency and to determine the views of the panel of judges who examined cases of industrial relations disputes in Decision Number 781 K/Pdt.Sus-PHI/2021.

Simulation study reveals factors that affect the predominance of SARS-CoV-2 novel variant

The novel variants of the SARS-CoV-2 are a great global concern for the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. However, how the novel variants predominate and replace existing strains remains elusive. In this study, I simulated the infection spread to investigate what kinds of viral, immunological, and epidemiological factors affect the predominance of SARS-CoV-2 novel variants. The results showed that the increase of the transmissibility of the novel variant substantially enhanced the predominance probability. In addition, the increasing trend of the infection spread, the large case number of the epidemic, and the ability of immune escape of the novel variant increased the predominance probability. A small number of cases and a decreasing trend of an entire epidemic, including not only the novel variant but also earlier strains, are especially important to reduce the chance of the predominance of the novel variant and delay the process. Good control of the COVID-19 epidemic could make the disease burden small and sequester the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 novel variants.

A Disparity in COVID Numbers: Simulation of Trump v. Obama

Previous studies of excess deaths and infections have come out about the coronavirus during President Donald J. Trump’s administration. With President Trump’s inactions, funding cuts, and statements underestimating the impact of COVID, there have been criticisms about how President Trump handled the coronavirus throughout his presidential term. It brings about the question -- What would the case number of COVID deaths and infections be like if President Barack H. Obama, the prior president, was in office? This study uses an open source Python simulation in order to estimate the number of COVID deaths and infections estimated under Trump and Obama’s administration. By doing a case study between the two, these results provide information regarding the number of lives that could potentially have been saved along with potential insight into finding preventative measures to save lives.

Ectopic implantation salvage of the left thumb to reconstruct the right thumb after electrical injury: a case report

The incidence rate of electrical injury has remained stable, while the absolute case number has increased. Amputations, erosions, occlusions, and delayed blood vessel rupture are the common complications. Ectopic implantation salvage has been performed widely in mechanical trauma patients, to preserve viable or possibly viable tissues and organ, without application in the electrical injury patients to the best of our knowledge. Here, we present a case report involving ectopic implantation salvage of the left thumb before contralateral transplantation to the right hand after high-voltage electrical injury. The patient’s left thumb remained viable despite necrosis of the left forearm at 3 weeks post-injury. After debridement, we implanted the left thumb to his thigh where it was anastomosed to the lateral circumflex femoral artery’s descending branch and great saphenous vein. We replanted the left thumb on the right hand with fixation 6 weeks later. The reassembled right hand remained well-circulated 11 months post-reconstruction. We believe this case supports broadening the indication for ectopic implantation salvage surgeries to patients who sustain electrical injuries.
