TL;DR: In this paper, the authors trace the grandes lignes des propositions suivantes, i.e., the theory of the peine, the psychologie of the integration normative, and the sociologie de l'integration normative.
Abstract: INFLUENCE DE LA JUSTICE CRIMINELLE SUR L'INTEGRATION NORMATIVECe document est separe en trois parties : 1) la theorie de la peine ; 2) l'aspect psychologique de l'integration normative ; 3) l'aspect sociologique de l'integration normative. Il trace les grandes lignes des propositions suivantes.1. L'ordre social engendre l'anomie, si la structure sociale et la conscience sociale dominante ne correspondent pas au degre de developpement de la societe.2. L'anomie affecte la societe dans son ensemble, mais l'intensite du processus anomique varie selon les divergences entre les interets d'une strate sociale particuliere et les interets representes par la justice criminelle.3. Le processus anomique demontre la necessite du changement dans la structure normative de la societe. Il ne reussit pas cependant a faire la difference entre les normes socialement utiles et celles qui ne le sont pas.4. La structure sociale normative dominante est un systeme fortement articule. Comme tel il ne peut changer que dans son ensemble et non pas de facon partielle. Le choix doit etre fait, soit de la defendre comme un tout, ou de ne pas la defendre du tout.5. La structure normative, a ce moment doit etre defendue en tant que tout, particulierement parce que le processus anomique l'attaque en tant que tout.6. Le droit penal influence les sentiments collectifs a travers la peine. Plus le sentiment collectif est intense plus il est renforce par la punition. Si cette intensite n'est pas assez forte, la peine ne fera que dissimuler l'anomie ou meme catalysera le processus anomique.7. L'influence de la peine n'est pertinente qu'en fonction des citoyens qui respectent les lois, parce que c'est la que le sentiment collectif est suffisamment intense.8. Le manque d'identification au systeme normatif dominant a affecte la theorie sociale et ceux qui sont charges de faire respecter la loi. Cette tendance liee a la concentration de l'attention sur des delinquants, produit ou tend a produire une application de la justice criminelle moralement neutre.9. Si nous voulons que la peine ait une influence positive sur l'integration normative, si nous voulons que la peine soutienne le sentiment collectif il faudrait que sa connotation morale soit preservee.10. Toutefois, la peine n'est pas une solution au probleme de l'anomie. Dans le systeme de justice actuel, elle peut le diriger vers differents secteurs de la vie sociale ou le forcer a changer. Devant les besoins toujours plus grands de changement des valeurs et structures sociales, ses buts devraient etre de defendre les valeurs sociales de base qui expriment les besoins de la societe entiere. Cependant elle ne peut defendre ces valeurs qu'en defendant le systeme normatif dans son entier, l'anomie ne pouvant se developper dans certains secteurs sans affecter les points vitaux de la structure normative.11. En consequence l'application de la justice criminelle aura necessairement un effet ambivalent : elle intensifiera l'integration normative de certaines normes a l'interieur de certains secteurs de la societe, et en meme temps elle augmentera Panomie de certaines normes dans d'autres strates sociales.

TL;DR: Sodniki teh instanc se morajo ukvarjati s subsumiranjem posamicnih dejstev pod najbolj splosno normo as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Sodba naceloma ni nekaj, kar je treba ali bi bilo sploh treba razlagati. Konkretna sodba inter partes mora razlagati abstraktno pravno normo. Vendar ce bi bilo res, da so sodbe ESCP strogo omejene na ucinek inter partes (kot je to zapisano v 46. clenu Evropske konvencije), ne bi bilo potrebe po razlagi njihovega ucinka erga omnes. Za ustavna sodisca in druga sodisca zadnje stopnje silogisticno sklepanje (logicna subsumpcija konkretnih dejstev pod abstraktno normo), ki so ga kontinentalni pravniki vajeni, se izkaže za skoraj popolnoma neuporabno. Sodniki teh instanc se morajo ukvarjati s subsumiranjem posamicnih dejstev pod najbolj splosno normo. Sodbe ESCP so dokaz za potrebo po zapolnitvi velikanske vrzeli med abstraktnim pomenom norme Konvencije in dejstvi konkretne zadeve. Ta prazni prostor je pred Sodiscem zijal pred pol stoletja, nato pa ga je to zapolnilo z vmesnimi plastmi prava lastnih judikatov. Prava vsebina Konvencije je zdaj v kazuisticni judikaturi. To je tisto, kar potem povzroca potrebo po razlagi precedensov Sodisca, in ne abstraktne dolocbe Konvencije. Ceprav so precedensi ESCP za države podpisnice Konvencije zgolj de facto zavezujoci, pa bi naceloma prvostopenjska sodisca in vsa visje stopenjska sodisca morala uporabljati Konvencijo (tako kot jo razlaga ESCP). Moramo pa se zavedati, da gre za dolgotrajen asimilacijski proces, tudi zaradi jezikovnih in drugih kulturnih komunikacijskih ovir.

Abstract: Dejstvo je, da ustavna sodisca danes ustvarjajo pravo. Ta korpus prava, ki izhaja iz nenehnega ustavnosodnega preverjanja dejanj vseh treh vej oblasti, ima vsaj z vidika clovekovih pravic veliko skupnega s postopkovnim in vsebinskim ustvarjanjem sodne prakse na Evropskem sodiscu za clovekove pravice. Ceprav to sodisce odloca tudi in abstracto, vendarle ustvarja odlocitve inter partes, ki imajo na koncu neizbežno vsaj stvarni ucinek erga omnes. Sodna praksa tako predstavlja levji delež sodobnega ustavnega prava. Evropa pa ima v Strasbourgu vsaj zadnjih stirideset let svoje ustavno sodisce.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that increased efficiency in the protection of basic procedural rights is also urgently needed as a pre-condition for further mutual recognition of criminal judgments, and theorise on the harmonisation of criminal procedure in the light of considerations relating to the equality of arms.
Abstract: This article discusses the desirability of EU action to complement the protection offered by the European Convention on Human Rights to suspects in criminal proceedings. Implementation of the mutual recognition principle should not tip the balance too far in favour of law enforcement and prosecution interests. The authors argue that increased efficiency in the protection of basic procedural rights is also urgently needed as a pre-condition for further mutual recognition of criminal judgments. The article also theorises on the harmonisation of criminal procedure in the light of considerations relating to the ‘equality of arms’. Such equality is not naturally present in the criminal process, particularly during police questioning and investigations. Decisions about how far to restrict state power in criminal investigations will depend on the attitude to authority in a particular country.

TL;DR: The researchers are now investigating whether interacting proteins make direct contact or whether other molecules serve as intermediaries, which might be useful to pharmaceutical researchers developing anticancer drugs that disrupt kinetochore proteins.
Abstract: More than 100 proteins collaborate to build the kinetochore. Using RNAi, Liu et al. (page 41) sort out the responsibilities of key proteins in this process. The kinetochore is a three-layered disc that sits on either side of the centromere. It links to spindle fibers and helps align and separate mitotic chromosomes. Although researchers have teased out the roles of some kinetochore proteins, they lacked a comprehensive picture of how these molecules interact to assemble the structure. Liu et al. picked 20 putative kinetochore big shots and knocked them down, one at a time, using RNAi. The team then merged its results with past findings to sketch a map of the connections. Sitting atop the protein hierarchy is CENP-A, which permanently resides on centromeres. At the next level, three branches split off: two are headed by other centromere fixtures, CENP-I and CENP-C, and the third under the direction of the Aurora B kinase, a passenger protein crucial for chromosome separation. Each branch takes on a different task. CENP-I establishes the three-layered organization, for example. Multiple cross-links tie the branches together, however, so there is no linear chain of command. The researchers are now investigating whether interacting proteins make direct contact or whether other molecules serve as intermediaries. The interaction map might be useful to pharmaceutical researchers developing anticancer drugs that disrupt kinetochore proteins. The map may point the way to biomarkers for monitoring the drugs' effects.

TL;DR: In this article, the margin of appreciation (MoA) doctrine of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) or Court, should be understood as, inter alia, an underenforcement doctrine, according to which Convention rights should not be applied to their full conceptual limits.
Abstract: The paper argues that the margin of appreciation (MoA) doctrine of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR, or Court), should be understood as, inter alia, an underenforcement doctrine, according to which Convention rights should not be applied to their full conceptual limits. Underenforcement is justified by institutional considerations relating to the Court's role and competence. Although institutional considerations have been theorised normatively, the paper claims that ‘low-level’ empirical inquiry into the comparative institutional competence of different decision makers across the Council of Europe is critical in explaining MoA. Such comparative empirical analysis ties shared institutional responsibility and subsidiarity with certain traits of decision makers when determining Convention rights. In this context, the paper briefly compares the decision making abilities of different institutions. It concludes by stressing that under certain circumstances the Court can be worse placed than national authorities to decide on violations of Convention rights. This is corroborated by the Court's case-law concerning Convention rights impinging on the economic and social policies of States Parties.
