Fraud and forgery of the testator’s will or signature : the flight from formalities to no formalities

Falsification of wills by fraud or forgery is an offence all over the world. It is, unfortunately, not an uncommon occurrence for a will to be tampered with, especially when large sums of money are involved. Kahn indicated that "the number of relevant cases, civil and criminal, in our law reports, on falsification and forgery concerned with a will, apart from several bringing no success to the plaintiff or prosecution, of course is no reflection of the extent of the problem". Contesting a will on the grounds of fraud and/or forgery is not unique to South Africa. Recently a contribution in The Wall Street Journal stated that forged wills are no longer just a fiction. Bedrog en vervalsing van die testament of handtekening van die testateur : die vlug weg van formaliteite na geen formaliteite Bedrog en vervalsing is wereldwyd 'n bekende misdryf. By die opstel en verlyding van testamente kom bedrog en vervalsing vry algemeen voor deurdat of die testament of die handtekeninge van die erflater en/of getuies vervals word. In hierdie artikel word die toename in bedrieglike handelinge ten aansien van 'n testament, en meer spesifiek met betrekking tot vervalsing van handtekeninge, onder die loep geneem. Die vraag word eerstens gevra of daar 'n toename in vervalsing van testamente is wat deur uitgifte van die vervalste dokument as bedrog manifesteer. In die bespreking word die voorkoms van bedrog en vervalsing by onderhandse testamente, wat "tuisgemaakte" en, meer onlangs, ook holografiese testamente insluit, met die notarieel verlyde testament vergelyk. Daar word geredeneer oor die afwatering van streng formaliteitsvereistes deur wetgewing in sekere jurisdiksies en die verlening van 'n kondonasiebevoegdheid in die verband aan die howe. Die toename van bedrog in jurisdiksies wat deur die Engelse Wills Act van 1837 beinvloed is, word beoordeel en die impak en voorkoms van bedrieglike handelinge op testamente ondersoek. In die proses om weg te beweeg van die gedetailleerde vormvereistes, het die klem verskuif van formalisme by verlyding van die testament na die bedoeling van die testateur wat na die dood bepaal word. Verskeie jurisdiksies het die formaliteitsvereistes verslap en in sommiges gevalle 'n reddingsboei in die vorm van 'n kondoneringsbevoegdheid van die howe verleen. Nadat die probleem geidentifiseer is, word moontlike oplossings oorweeg en tot die gevolgtrekking gekom dat die instelling van 'n notariele testament moontlik nie aanvaarbaar vir wetgewers is nie en dat in die alternatief 'n stelsel van registrasie van testamente oorweeg behoort te word. Uit die evaluasie blyk dit dat die vereenvoudiging van formaliteite en kondonering van nienakoming van formaliteitsvereistes tog meewerk tot die algemene voorkoms van en toename in gerapporteerde sake waarby ook bedrog ter sprake mag wees. Die verskoning van gebreke met die nakoming van formaliteitsvereistes het ontwikkel tot op die punt wat 'n "dokument" in enige vorm van skrif oogluikend gekondoneer word en daar met alle handtekeninge weggedoen kan word.
Assessment of Scapular Morphometry

:1305-1309, SUMMARY: The current study was undertaken to assess the incidence of different types of suprascapular notch, acromion dimensions and the lower and upper scapular angles. The suprascapular notch and variations of the acromion are clinically important in suprascapular nerve compression and subacromial impingement. Measurements were taken from 73 Anatolian dry scapulae of unknown age or sex. The suprascapuar notch was classified according to that of Rengachary et al. (1979). Its width and depth, the distance between supraglenoid tubercle and the deepest point of notch, as well as the upper and lower scapular angles were also determine measured. The type of acromion was assessed according to shape (type I (cobra), type II (square), type III (intermediate)) and tilt (type I (flat), type II (curve). Acrmion length and the distance between acromion and coracoid process were also measured. The frequency of different types of suprascapular notch were type I (28.8 %), type II (23.3 %), type III (13.7 %), type IV (20.5 %), type V (2.7 %), type VI (5.5 %)and absence (5.5 %). Acromion type were type I (45.5 %), type II (7.5 %) and type III (47.0 %), acromion tilt type I (15.2 %), and type II (84.8 %). An understanding of the association between the anatomical structures of the scapula and morphometric measurements is clinically important.
Citología en base líquida: parámetros de eficacia

Objetivo: Comparar la eficacia de la citologia con la utilizacion de medio liquido en relacion con la convencional, en pacientes que acudieron al Servicio de Ginecologia de la Maternidad “Concepcion Palacios”. Metodos: Se llevo a cabo un estudio prospectivo y comparativo, que incluyo a 177 pacientes a las cuales se les realizo ambas citologias (convencional y liquida). Resultados: Se obtuvieron 114 muestras con celulas metaplasicas y de la union escamo- cilindrica con la citologia convencional y 60 con citologia en base liquida (P=0,001). Con la citologia en base liquida se encontraron menos casos sin exudado inflamatorio, mas con exudado moderado, y se diagnosticaron mas casos de infeccion por virus de papiloma humano. Con la tecnica convencional se observaron mas casos de vaginosis bacteriana. Los resultados citologicos, en relacion con las celulas epiteliales, fueron similares con ambas tecnicas: 171 y 157 negativos, 2 y 8 atipias de celulas escamosas de significado incierto y 4 y 12 lesiones intraepiteliales de bajo grado, para citologia convencional y en base liquida, respectivamente. Hubo 23 falsos negativos y 1 falso positivo con la citologia convencional mientras que con la citologia en base liquida hubo 18 falsos negativos y 10 falsos positivos. Conclusiones: La sensibilidad, el valor de prediccion positivo y el valor de prediccion negativo, de la citologia procesada segun ambas tecnicas, fueron similares, la especificidad de la citologia convencional fue mas alta. (AU) Objective: To compare the efficacy of cytology with the use of liquid medium in relation to the conventional, in patients who attended the gynecology service in Maternidad “Concepcion Palacios”. Methods: Carried out a comparative and prospective study that included 177 patients which underwent both PAP (conventional and liquid). Results: 114 samples with metaplastic cells and from the union escamo-cylindrical were obtained with conventional cytology and 60 with liquid-based cytology (P = 0.001). With liquid-based cytology found fewer cases without inflammatory exudate, most with moderate exudate, and more cases of infection were diagnosed by human papillomavirus. With the conventional technique, there were more cases of bacterial vaginosis. The cytologic findings, in relation to the epithelial cells, were similar with both techniques: 171 and 157 negatives, 2 and 8 atypia of squamous cells of uncertain significance and 4 and 12 intraepithelial lesions of low grade, for conventional smear and liquid-based, respectively. There were 23 false negative and false positive 1 with conventional cytology while with liquid-based cytology had 18 false negative and false positive 10. Conclusions: The sensitivity, the positive predictive value and the negative predictive value of Cytology processed according to both techniques were similar, the specificity of conventional cytology was higher.

Information Visualization for Decision Support Systems on Commerce

Many users benefit from decision support systems (DSS), but sometimes they can’t readily comprehend the nature or meaning of the outcome from DSS. In general, interpretation of data is much more intuitive if the results from the DSS are translated into charts, maps, and other graphical displays because visualization exploits our natural ability to recognize and understand visual patterns. In this paper we discuss the concept of visualization user interface (VUI) for decision support systems on commerce (CDSS). An information visualization model for CDSS is proposed, which consists of three elements. In addition, a visualized information retrieval engine based on fuzzy control is proposed.
Learning Modeling Languages Using Strategies from Gaming

Learning about software modeling languages from documentation can be a difficult and confusing process, and many of the currently existing modeling language tutorials are only marginally better. At the same time, players of video games spend hours upon hours learning to play games that require mastering complex strategies and concepts, without losing motivation or interest. This success for motivating learning effort seen in many games, is in turn supporting an emerging trend of educational games, designed to teach a wide range of subject to people of all ages. This thesis presents an exploration of the principles and strategies used by video games to teach players their mechanics, and an attempt to use these principles to teach software modeling in an engaging way. Focusing on modeling with Unified Modeling Language (UML) activities in the context of Reactive Blocks, two different approaches for teaching the concepts of this topic are presented. The first approach is simply an improved tutorial, utilizing principles such as interactiveness and context-sensitivity of information and instruction to engage learners. The second approach is an educational game, adding immersion and visualization to the learning experience. The design and prototype implementation of both the interactive tutorial and the educational game, and the principles they are based on, are described in detail. Both prototypes are also evaluated with respect to these principles, focusing on their usability and teaching potential, with the support of data from user tests.
Acne and Antibiotics

Acne vulgaris is a disorder of the skin which begins with the accumulation of sebum in the sebaceous duct. The pressure built up by the accumulated sebum can rupture the duct. Diffusion of the sebum, particularly of its fatty acids, into the skin brings about an inflammatory reaction often accompanied by an infection. Besides causing infection, the bacteria produce lipases that stimulate the inflammatory processes by hydrolyzing the sebum into fatty acids. These effects can be attributed to both Corynebacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis. The way in which both oral and topical antibiotics can be used in, the treatment of acne is reviewed. The possibility for combined local treatment with an antibiotic and an antiandrogen is discussed.

Learning using an artificial immune system

Abstract In this paper we describe an artificial immune system (AIS) which is based upon models of the natural immune system. This natural system is an example of an evolutionary learning mechanism which possesses a content addressable memory and the ability to «forget» little-used information. It is also an example of an adaptive non-linear network in which control is decentralized and problem processing is efficient and effective. As such, the immune system has the potential to offer novel problem solving methods. The AIS is an example of a system developed around the current understanding of the immune system. It illustrates how an artificial immune system can capture the basic elements of the immune system and exhibit some of its chief characteristics. We illustrate the potential of the AIS on a simple pattern recognition problem. We then apply the AIS to a real-world problem: the recognition of promoters in DNA sequences. The results obtained are consistent with other appproaches, such as neural networks and Quinlan's ID3 and are better than the nearest neighbour algorithm. The primary advantages of the AIS are that it only requires positive examples, and the patterns it has learnt can be explicitly examined. In addition, because it is self-organizing, it does not require effort to optimize any system parameters.
Potential germline relevance of tumor testing and the need for genetic referral.

e12552 Background: Recently the ability to tailor therapies to particular somatic mutations present in a patient’s tumor has grown significantly. However mutations found in a tumor may have implications if also present in the germline. Through Moffitt’s Personalized Medicine Consult Service (PMCS), we sought to find a streamlined approach to identify patients with tumor testing in whom referral to the Genetic Risk Assessment Service (GRAS) for consideration of germline testing would be appropriate. Methods: The GRAS provided the PMCS with a list of 41 genes that may have germline implications for inherited cancer predisposition, primarily encompassing genes included in multi-gene tests for inherited cancer predisposition. Genes included on currently available tumor tests were evaluated for germline relevance to inherited cancer risk using OMIM and the genereviews.org database, after which availability of clinical testing was searched using the genetests.org database. All patients consulted through the PMC.
EVALUATION OF ORAL AND PARENTRAL THERAPY IN RECENTLY PARTURITED HYPOCALCAEMIC AND HYPOGLYCAEMIC BUFFALOES

The study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of oral and parentral therapies on hypocalcaemia and hypoglycaemia in recently parturited buffaloes. Eighteen recently parturited buffaloes were selected and divided randomly into three equal groups. First group (T 1 ) was kept as untreated control. Second group (T 2 ) was treated with oral calcium 100 ml +jaggery 500 g + sodium acid phosphate 60 g, daily for 5 days. Third group (T 3 ) was treated with calcium borogluconate 300 ml i/v + sodium acid phosphate 10% i/v + glucose 25% 500 ml i/v daily for 2 days. Biochemical studies were carried out in all groups at ‘0’ day, 7 th day and 30 th day after parturition. The study revealed a decrease in plasma glucose, serum calcium and phosphorus on the day of parturition. Oral and parental therapies restored all the biochemical parameters close to normalcy within 30 th day of parturition.
Design of virtual worlds for accessing information : discovery of user preferences

This thesis describes a study carried out with the aim of discovering user preferences as to the design of 3-dimensional virtual worlds for accessing information. No literature was found which dealt with this topic, and it was therefore thought that, rather than ask users to make a selection from arbitrarily-chosen designs, it would be informative to consult the users from the beginning of the design process. To this end, a Grounded Theory methodology was adopted, and users were selected from postgraduate students and staff from Information Management courses at the Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen. Three rounds of interviews were conducted. The first round was concerned with finding out what ideas for a world design people would have, the second with testing four worlds derived from the first round, and the third with exploring further ideas that users had, based on their experience of the test worlds. At each stage of the process, emergent theories were constructed, and modified according to subsequent findings. It was established that the factors which influenced this group of users in their preferences for the design of worlds were not structural, as might have been assumed, but instead were related to properties such as familiarity, organisation, assistance, and quality of information and presentation. When the results were examined in the context of developments in the use of virtual environments, it was found that they provide a theoretical underpinning for practices such as the provision of conventional library structures in the popular online environment Second Life. This is not a statistical exercise, but it would appear that there are no significant differences based on the criteria of age, gender, or whether a user was staff or student. More thorough studies would be required to determine this absolutely, but for the moment it appears more useful to draw a broad set of conclusions. ii Issues were identified which indicate potentially rewarding areas for further research and design. Specifically, it would be of interest to discover whether the affective responses of these groups are also common to other groups, and to experiment further with worlds designed in the light of the current findings. Further investigation of the small number of cases in which users do not respond to the worlds would also be desirable, to determine whether this response is characteristic of a group of people who will not react positively to any world, or whether these users simply reacted negatively to the examples presented.

Achilles tendon Injuries: Tendinopathy andRupture-A Mini Review

Achilles tendon, the largest and strongest tendon in the human body is formed by fusion of the tendinous portion of calf muscles; the gastrocnemius and soleus [1,2]. Achilles tendon can largely with stand tensional forces of locomotion. The incidence of Achilles tendon injuries has increased considerably during the pastdecade [1-5]. Such injuries account for 45% of all sports related injuries among athletes and general public. Achilles tendon complaints generally represent most tendon problems in any population and can be divided into “Spontaneous ruptures” (excessive loadinginduced injury/degeneration of tendon without any predisposing systemic diseases); and “Overuse injuries” (traced to sports and exercise-related overuse). Sometimes, a systemic disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis may manifest with Achilles tendon symptoms, but this represents only a minority (~2%) of all cases [1,6].
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping

In mobile robot navigation, Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) involves building a map of an unknown environment and determining the robot's position in the map at the same time. Several variations of the SLAM algorithm have been proposed, but implementation of SLAM is notoriously difficult. We focus on the FastSLAM algorithm that uses a Rao-Blackwellized particle filter to improve SLAM's accuracy and runtime performance. Our project is twofold: we successfully simulate the FastSLAM algorithm and we implement the algorithm on the Turtlebot platform. Through our work in simulation, we were able to fine tune several intrinsic parameters of the FastSLAM algorithm. Our implementation work is a proof of concept that FastSLAM can be used to help the Turtlebots build a map of their surroundings.

Exemplarische Untersuchung der Übertragbarkeit von akustischen und visuellen Wahrnehmungsphänomenen auf die haptische Wahrnehmung

Zusammenfassung: Der Einsatz von haptischen Wahrnehmungsphanomenen in haptischen Mensch-Maschine Schnittstellen konnte zu technischen Vereinfachungen und zur Entlastung des Anwenders fuhren. Da die haptische Wahrnehmung noch relativ unerforscht ist, untersucht diese Arbeit die Ubertragbarkeit visueller und akustischer Wahrnehmungsphanomene auf die haptische Wahrnehmung. Die Untersuchung beinhaltet eine Zusammenstellung und Klassifizierung, der in der Literatur bekannten Phanomene der visuellen, auditiven und haptischen Wahrnehmung. In der Klassifizierung werden Phanomene in Phanomenprinzipien zusammengefasst und deren Auftreten in der visuellen, auditiven und haptischen Wahrnehmung verglichen. Zusatzlich werden die Phanomene nach ihren mutmaslichen Ursachen unterschieden. Anhand der Klassifizierung der Phanomene werden mehrere Thesen uber haptische Analogien zu gefundenen visuellen und akustischen Wahrnehmungphanomenen erstellt. Eine These wird methodisch ausgewahlt und mit einem Probandentest uberpruft. Der Probandentest untersucht die Ubertragbarkeit des auditiven Harmonieempfindens auf die Haptik. Eine Erklarung und Bedeutung der Harmonie in der Musik dient als Grundlage des Testentwurfs. Jeweils drei konsonante und drei dissonante, musikalische Intervalle (Oktave, Duodezime, Quinte, kleine Septime, kleine Sekunde und Tritonus) werden durch Frequenzuberlagerung elektrisch erzeugt und auf einem elektrodynamischen Aktor (Mini-Shaker) mechanisch bereitgestellt. Die Probanden bewerten die 6 Intervalle hinsichtlich der vier Kategorien Harte, Textur, Asthetik und Aufmerksamkeit. Die Auswertung der Ergebnisse fuhrt zu der Vermutung, dass es in der haptischen Wahrnehmung ein Harmonieempfinden fur uberlagerte Vibrationen gibt. Dieses Empfinden konnte abhangig sein von der Frequenzhohe der uberlagerten vibrotaktilen Reize. Zum Abschluss fliesen die Testergebnisse und die Klassifizierung der Wahrnehmungsphanomene in eine Betrachtung der allgemeinen Ubertragbarkeit von visuellen und akustischen Wahrnehmungsphanomenen auf die Haptik ein: In vielen Fallen hat sich die Ubertragbarkeit bestatigt. Einschrankungen sind bei besonderen, anatomischen Eigenheiten eines Wahrnehmungskanals zu machen. Die Ergebnisse des Probandentests unterstutzen die allgemeine Ubertragbarkeit von Wahrnehmungsphanomenen.
Research on modeling of petroleum products distribution system based on object-oriented Petri nets

Based on research of formal description of system and system objects in OOPN(Object Oriented Petri Nets,OOPN)and analysis of business procedure of current petroleum products distribution system, a model for this system is proposed using OOPN technology. The death lock, safety and boundary of the proposed model are also tested for validation. The result shows that the proposed model is of no deadlock and bounded, but not secure. Following this result, taking order processing and service as abstraction of the concurrent events in petroleum products distribution system, an optimization scheme to solve the order processing ability problem is proposed based on queue theory. As an example, order processing and service counter deployment scheme in distribution center is explained in detail, and validation is processed through simulation of Mat Lab. Finally, the advantages of the proposed model are concluded.
