Confidentiality and Juvenile Mental Health Records In Dependency Proceedings

Providing children\u27s disclosures to their mental health therapists greater protection in juvenile dependency cases recognizes the importance of privacy in therapeutic communications. Numerous children are required by juvenile courts to divulge the most intimate details of their lives to mental health experts only to have those disclosures revealed in court proceedings. Reversing the presumption that children\u27s mental health records may be discussed openly in dependency litigation and requiring courts to perform in camera reviews affords children the dignity and respect adults take for granted. Ensuring greater confidentiality for children\u27s mental health records is one step the legal system should take to protect these fragile victims of abuse and neglect

Developing the Next Generation of Faculty: Taking a Learning Community Approach

The traditional goal of new faculty orientation has been to acculturate incoming instructors by providing them information regarding institutional expectations, the student body, and funding opportunities. The author advocates a new model that focuses instead on the development of a learning community approach. This model recognizes the particular characteristics, strengths, and interests of the next generation of new faculty, and intentionally aligns them with the needs of the institution. The outcomes of the learning community are a stronger, more resilient faculty and an institution capable of adapting to the rapidly changing landscape in higher education

The Effectiveness of Nudging in Commercial Settings and Impact on User Trust

Persuasive technologies and nudging are increasingly used to shape user behaviors in applications ranging from health and the environment to business. A thorough understanding of the effectiveness of nudges across different contexts and whether they affect user perception of a system is still lacking. We report the results of a controlled, quantitative study with 20 participants which focused on testing the effectiveness of three different nudges in an e-commerce environment and whether their use has an impact on participants’ trust. We found that products nudged via an anchoring effect were more frequently “bought” by participants, and that while participants deemed a store version implementing nudges and one which did not to be equally trustworthy, they perceived the former as technically inferior. Overall we found the effects of nudging to be less dominant than reported in previous studies

Prosta, przejrzysta i standardowa sekurytyzacja (sekurytyzacja STS) jako szczególny rodzaj sekurytyzacji w rozporządzeniu 2017/2402

The securitisation market worth trillions of dollars collapsed during the financial crisis of 2007–2009 and for many years its volume remained quite low in the European Union, i.a. due to lack of confidence in securitisation products. The purpose of this article is to draw attention to simple, transparent and standardised securitisation (STS securitisation), almost unnoticed in Polish doctrine, being a specific type of securitisation that has appeared lately and develops in the European Union, including Poland, as a way to revive the securitisation. In the course of considerations, after a brief presentation of securitisation, its development and collapse, attention is turned to the Regulation (EU) 2017/2402 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2017 laying down a general framework for securitisation and creating a specific framework for simple, transparent and standardised securitisation, and amending Directives 2009/65/EC, 2009/138/EC and 2011/61/EU and Regulations (EC) no. 1060/2009 and (EU) no. 648/2012 (OJ EU L 347/35) and the premises it contains that must be met so that the securitisation could be designated as “STS” or “simple, transparent and standardised”. The remarks are especially focused on requirements of due diligence, transparency, risk-retention, simplicity and standardisation. The article ends with conclusions on the effectiveness of the adopted solutions in the economic sphere as well as with respect to the unification of securitisation law in the Member States and the restoration of credibility for securitisation in the European Union.Rynek sekurytyzacji, wart biliony dolarów, uległ załamaniu w czasie kryzysu finansowego z lat 2007–2009 i przez kolejne lata jego rozmiary w Unii Europejskiej utrzymywały się na dość niskim poziomie, m.in. z powodu braku zaufania do sekurytyzacji. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest przybliżenie niemal niedostrzeżonej w polskiej doktrynie prostej, przejrzystej i standardowej sekurytyzacji (sekurytyzacji STS) jako szczególnego rodzaju sekurytyzacji, który niedawno pojawił się w Unii Europejskiej, w tym także w Polsce, stanowiąc sposób na ożywienie działalności sekurytyzacyjnej. W toku rozważań, po krótkim przedstawieniu sekurytyzacji, jej rozwoju i upadku, przeanalizowano rozporządzenie Parlamentu Europejskiego i Rady (UE) 2017/2402 z dnia 12 grudnia 2017 r. w sprawie ustanowienia ogólnych ram dla sekurytyzacji oraz utworzenia szczególnych ram dla prostych, przejrzystych i standardowych sekurytyzacji, a także zmieniające dyrektywy 2009/65/WE, 2009/138/WE i 2011/61/UE oraz rozporządzenia (WE) nr 1060/2009 i (UE) nr 648/2012 (Dz.Urz. UE L 347/35) i wskazane w nim przesłanki, które muszą zostać spełnione, aby sekurytyzacja mogła być oznaczona jako „STS” lub „prosta, przejrzysta i standardowa”. Skoncentrowano się w szczególności na wymaganiach dotyczących obowiązku dołożenia należytej staranności, przejrzystości, zatrzymania ryzyka, prostoty i standaryzacji. Artykuł kończy się uwagami dotyczącymi skuteczności przyjętych rozwiązań w sferze gospodarczej oraz w zakresie ujednolicenia prawa sekurytyzacyjnego w państwach członkowskich i przywrócenia wiarygodności sekurytyzacji w Unii Europejskiej
