This book gathers scientific contributions on comprehensive
approaches to personalized medicine. In a systematic and clear
manner, it provides extensive information on the methodological,
technological, and clinical aspects of high-throughput analytics,
nanotechnology approaches, microbiota/human interactions, in-vitro
fertilization and preimplantation, and various diseases like
cancer.Moreover, the book analyzes the social and legal aspects of
social security systems, healthcare systems and EU law - e.g. the
role of solidarity, regulatory possibilities and obstacles, justice
and equality, privacy/disclosure of data, and the right to know -
from an interdisciplinary perspective. Lastly, it explores the
economical and ethical context in the fields of business models,
intellectual property issues, the patient/physician relationship,
and price discrimination.
This book employs an innovative approach to explore the topic of
flexicurity and related changes in the working world, the
importance of which for the overall economic and social development
is gradually being recognised. It focuses on the changing nature of
work and its impact on EU law and national labour and social
security laws. Though the transformation of regulatory and
institutional frameworks of labour relations follows different
patterns in different EU Member States, it is nevertheless a common
phenomenon that offers an excellent opportunity for mutual learning
experiences and comparing notes on best practices. Taking these
ideas as a starting point, the book presents a collection of
research on various aspects and implications of changing labour
relations in the EU Member States. The opening chapters address the
internal market dimension of the transformation of employment
relations by investigating how social dumping, integration of
migrant workers, and cross-border mergers influence national labour
policies and laws. The book further analyses linguistic and
terminological challenges in the field of labour law in the EU's
multi-lingual legal environment. Subsequent chapters cover various
theoretical and practical issues, such as the impact of
chain-liability regulatory models on the legal situation of workers
in subcontracting networks, and modern work arrangements in the
collaborative or 'gig' economy. Other chapters are dedicated to
issues of jurisdiction and law applicable to individual employment
contracts, as well as alternative resolution mechanisms in labour
disputes. The next section offers fresh insights on and a critical
overview of the well-known Danish and Dutch models of flexicurity,
often cited as role models for reforms of labour markets in other
EU Member States. Three individual chapters investigate specific
aspects of flexicurity in Croatia, in terms of individual
dismissals, life-long learning and the impact of non-standard
employment on future pension entitlements. One paper explores
temporary agency work in Germany as an important instrument of
flexicurity, while another discusses various forms of work used in
Slovenia in the context of flexibilization of work relations. Many
challenges still lie ahead, and the primary aim of this book is to
provide a solid basis for informed future discussions.

This book offers comprehensive coverage of the various aspects of
personalized medicine as an original approach to classifying,
understanding, treating and preventing disease based on individual
biological differences. In the introductory section, it defines
personalized medicine as a way toward new medical practices and
addresses the question: What can personalized medicine offer
citizens, medical professionals, reimbursement bodies and
stakeholders? Subsequent chapters discuss the technological aspects
of personalized medicine: data collection, comprehensive
integration and handling of data, together with key enabling
factors in developing the requisite technological support for
personalized medicine. Lastly, the book explores the main issues
shaping the implementation and development of personalized medicine
- education, stakeholder participation, infrastructure, a new
approach to the classification of disease and medical tests,
regulatory frameworks, and new reimbursement models - together with
ethical, legal and social issues. Ultimately, the book calls for
interdisciplinarity and a radical change in the way we approach the
health and wellbeing of individuals. Target groups are medical
doctors and researchers in the field of biomedicine, as well as
experts from the social sciences dealing with legal, economic and
social aspects of health system issues in general. Though the book
will primarily benefit these groups of professional experts, its
content will also appeal to a far wider readership, as it deals
with a paradigm shift in one of society's main pillars - the health
system.
This book scrutinizes legislative novelties and case law in the
area of EU competition and state aid rules, focusing on the
interaction between public and private enforcement of those rules.
It is intended for scholars, stakeholders and anyone involved in
the process of law enforcement - judges, attorneys at law,
corporate lawyers and market participants. The book features
contributions by prominent competition law scholars offering an
academic analysis of the topics covered, and by several EU General
Court judges, including its President, Mr. Marc Jaeger, providing
first-hand information on the application of the EU competition
rules in the General Court.

This book explores the reactions to Europeanization and
globalization in times of economic distress, including the
transformation of European values in national legal cultures. The
authors explore how European values, tradition and new legal
challenges interconnect and dictate the paths of transition between
old and new Europe. The first chapter starts with a question: can
Roman Legal Tradition play a role of identity factor towards a New
Europe? Can it be considered as a general value identifying new
Europe, built on a minimum core of principles - persona, dominum,
obligation, contract and inheritance - composing the whole European
private law tradition? Subsequent chapters attempt to provide
possible responses to the question: what is Europe today? The
answers diverge, depending on the research area. The inherent
dichotomy of human rights protection in Europe and the concept of
'one law, one court' are investigated in the second chapter,
whereas the third chapter focuses on asylum and the interrelation
and interdependence of the Court of Justice of the EU and the
European Court of Human Rights. The next three chapters concentrate
on matters of equal treatment and non-discrimination. The first
contribution in this part reflects on the crisis and methodological
and conceptual issues faced by modern anti-discrimination law. It
is followed by a specific analysis of the empowerment of women or
gender-balancing in company boards. The third contribution reveals
the impact of the Croatian anti-discrimination law on private law
relations. The next chapter deals with the issue of social rights
in Croatia and the method of their regulation in the context of the
new European values. The immense challenges posed by the market
integration imperative and democratic transition have brought about
different reactions in the national legal systems and legal
cultures of both old and new Member States. As such, Europe has
effectively been reunited, but what about the convergence of
national legal cultures? This is the focal point of the remaining
chapters, which focus on various issues, from internal market,
competition law, consumer welfare, liberalization of network
industries to the EU capital market. The magnitude of EU activity
in these areas offers conclusive evidence that old and new
paradigms are evolving and shaping the future of the EU.
