Write a 8 pages paper on copyright licenses. The first owner of the copyright in a work is the author where the term “author” implies a person who creates a literary, dramatic, musical, recording or artistic work. However, there are certain cases under which the author of work is not to be considered as the first owner of the copyright. These are the exceptions:

If an employee works for an employer and he/she creates a literary, dramatic, musical, recording or artistic work during the course of employment than still the employer will be considered to be the first owner of work, unless otherwise mentioned in the contract of employment.

The commissioner of the work is considered to be the first owner of the work in many of the cases. A commissioner is a person who generally pays fees or commission on the work created by another person.

Owner of the work generally enjoys two types of rights. economic rights and moral rights. Economic rights as the term economic connotes that the owner is entitled to gain financial incentives and rewards by utilizing its work. These rights mainly encompasses of the right to authorize and prohibit the reproduction, distribution, translation, adaptation (conversion of a written novel into a movie), public performance and broadcasting of the work in any form. Usually, if the author allows for exploiting his work than the economic rights can be transferred to the user by writing an agreement, in return for a compensation which can either be a lump-sum payment or a percentage of revenue generated each time the work is utilized. Once the economic rights have been transferred, the owner would still enjoy the moral rights.

The term “moral rights” has been translated from a French term “Droit moral” and it means that the ability of an author to control the eventual fate of their work (Rosenblatt, 1998). The first&nbsp.moral right for the author is to be identified as the owner or author of the created work whenever the work is published commercially, performed in front of a public or broadcasted through a media. Moreover, the identification made by the user should be explicit and clear.&nbsp.

Discuss Eusebius and the History of the Church.

/in /by

Write 6 pages with APA style on Eusebius and the History of the Church. The eighth book in Eusebius’ Ecclesiastics Histories tells of the rise of the Christian faith and its fall, which he accounts for the events that he experienced in his own time.[1] Initially, the Roman rulers and officers were very favorable about those of the Christian faith. Aside from letting the lesser of the people worship in accord to their own chosen faith, Christians were also able to hold offices, govern and rule, and mingle with the upper ranks of the Roman Empire. Moreover, the clergy and other church leaders were also treated with respect not just by their people but also by those Romans with noble birth.[2]

However, with the arrival of peace and tolerance, internal discord starts to brew within the structure of the Christian church itself. Due to the gains the Christians had in freedom, fights among them became common. These fights not only included the worshippers but also their church leaders as well. Eusebius attributed the subsequent events to Divine intervention when persecutions to Christians in the government offices and the army started. While initially, there was not much thought given about it, as the governance changes kept sliding past the Christian groups bit by bit, the Christians were once again subject to the punishments that the early martyrs undertook after several generations. The different manners that the Roman Empire tortured its citizens of the Christian faith were described in detail by Eusebius. Among these forms of capital punishments are death by strangling. beheading. being burned while still alive. bodies were thrown into the depths of the sea. even digging up the corpses of some and being thrown in the sea as well, thinking that these bodies might become the subject of worship by those who remain. [3]

The destruction of churches and the burning of scriptures during the reign of Diocletian during his reign in 284-305 were also recorded in full detail. As the festival of the Savior’s passion (Easter) approached, aside from the demolition of churches and the eradication of Christian scriptures, those of the Christian faith holding ranks in offices were immediately removed, and those who continue to profess their faith were imprisoned.[4] Christian soldiers in the army were forced to choose to conform to remain or to disobey and be removed from their rank.&nbsp.

Discussion on Screening for Diseases

Need an research paper on mph 504. Needs to be 2 pages. Please no plagiarism. Screening for Diseases 5. If the OD ratio cutoff for tested positive is shifted from A to B the sensitivity will increase to the point where the all HIV infected individuals can be detected. Although the test become more effective in identifying the affected individuals same time it causes high number of false positives rate. This can lead to undesirable psychological, social and health problems when healthy individuals are misdiagnosed as HIV infected.

When the OD ratio cutoff for tested positive is shifted from A to C the test become highly specific and nearly all the false positives can be eliminated. However this also eliminates high number of HIV infected individuals due to reduced sensitivity causing undesirable social and health problems (such as risk of spreading the disease and delay for the treatment). To overcome the problems of both extremes A is the most suitable OD ratio to establish the cutoff.

6. Director of Blood Bank: HIV is a deadly disease with no cure. Therefore the intention of screening the donated blood samples against HIV is to totally protect blood receivers from being infected with HIV. Therefore director of Blood Bank has to set the cut off where he can eliminate almost all the HIV infected blood samples. In other words he has to attain 100% sensitivity. Thereby he has to draw the cutoff line for OD ratio at B eliminating the risk of possible false negatives. However this decision dramatically reduces the specificity by increasing the number of false positives. This leads to rejection of higher number of healthy blood samples.

Investigator: The investigator needs to select high risk HIV infected individuals to test the efficacy of his potentially toxic antiviral drug through a clinical trial. Since the antiviral drug is potentially toxic he has to select only HIV infected individuals without any false positives. Consequently he has to achieve 100% specificity eliminating all false positive. In doing so he should draw the cutoff line for OD ratio at C. However as a result of this decision he has to reject high number of HIV infected individual who tested negative due to low sensitivity resulted from the newly defined cutoff. This makes him recruit a larger sample (than expected) to get the required number of eligible participants.
