CO-RELATION OF FEDERAL AND PROVINCIAL LEGISLATION OF CANADA IN THE FIELD OF PROTECTION OF CHILDREN FROM DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Authors: Чернухина Лариса , Chernukhina Larisa
Published: December 2016

The article deals with the issues of the delineation of authority between Federal legislative bodies and legislative bodies of the provinces and territories in the sphere of child protection from the domestic violence. The author analyzes the area of competence of the legislative bodies of mentioned levels, paying particular attention to their complementarity and possible conflicts between rules. In accordance with the Constitution of Canada the Federal, provincial and territorial governments have a shared responsibility for many aspects concerning the situation of children in society. However, criminalization of some unlawful acts, including the act of domestic violence, is an exclusive scope of jurisdiction of Federal agencies. On the basis of the analysis of the amendments to the criminal code of Canada the author comes to the conclusion that the Federal government is moving towards stricter sanctions for crimes related to domestic violence that target children. On the basis of detailed analysis of normative legal acts of the provinces and territories regulating social relations in the sphere of combating domestic violence and child protection the author concludes that the provincial laws on protection against domestic violence are intended to support and complement the Federal measures to protect victims of domestic violence under the criminal code of Canada. In general, provinces and territories have extensive regulatory framework in this area that allows to pursue a consistent policy aimed at improving the retaliatory measures against domestic violence, when the victims are children, as well as the maximum leveling of the consequences of such acts.
CONSIDERATION OF A CASE IN THE MERITS IN CRIMINAL PROCEDURE OF SWISS CONFEDERATION (PART 2)
Authors: Трефилов Александр , Trefilov Aleksandr
Published: December 2016

In the present article which is made of two parts the author analyses consideration of a case in the merits in Swiss criminal procedure, taking into account revised Criminal Procedural Code of Switzerland of 2007. The author has analyzed the stage of preliminary proceedings, the composition of court of first instance, the limits of the judicial proceedings, issues of the prosecutors’ refusal, oath procedures, the structural elements of the merits, role of the courts at this stage of the process, features of sentence as a judicial act and regulation of legal costs. The author has paid an attention to the fact that the court in a Swiss legal order is an active one and has a wide discretion on issues of evidence and and investigative actions. This approach is derived from the principle of objective truth, which is the basis of the Swiss penal process and the straightly enshrined in article 6 of the Criminal procedure code. These issues are discussed using comparative legal aspects, not excluding the Russian judiciary. A few recommendations for the improvement of the code also were formulated in present article.

Sung Silence: Complicity, Dramaturgy, and Song in Heywood’s Rape of Lucrece
Authors: Bretz Andrew
Published: December 2016

The songs of Valerius in Thomas Heywood’s 1607 The Rape of Lucrece negotiate the line between ironic distance and genuine compassion for the victim of sexual violence. Valerius sings them as a traumatized response to his own complicity in the rise of the Tarquin regime, a trauma that effectively silences his participation in politics. His final song, ‘Did he take faire Lucrece by the toe man?’ acts as a metatheatrical return of the rape, which forces the audience to verbally re-enact the occluded violence, but also allows for Valerius to rediscover his voice and ability to act politically.
Night of the Living Bread: Unstable Signs in Chester's 'Antichrist'
Authors: McNabb Cameron Hunt
Published: December 2016

This essay contends that the title character of Chester’s ‘Antichrist’ play disrupts orthodox models of language and theology through his biblical parody and mock resurrections. By destabilizing language and bodies through Antichrist’s stage presence, the play speaks to a historical destabilization of sacred language and actions that arose during the play’s earliest performance period because of the Lollard heresy. These disturbances in turn force theatrical and historical audiences to interpret religious signs through complex hermeneutical frameworks, frameworks I argue that the Chester ‘Antichrist’ play itself constructs.

‘I trac’d him too and fro’: Walking the Neighbourhood on the Early Modern Stage
Authors: Tomlin Rebecca
Published: December 2016

This article considers the ways in which plays stage the negotiation of the relationship between public and private space in early modern London through characters walking in the city. It uses concepts developed by Michel de Certeau and Pierre Mayol to think about the twentieth-century city to argue that Heywood’s Edward IV and the anonymous A Warning for Fair Women present walking the streets of London as an act of recognition and knowing that distinguishes those who belong in the city from those who do not.

CONJECTURES, POSTULATS ET VÉRIFICATIONS EXPÉRIMENTALES DANS LE PARADIGME DU GÉOMÈTRE-PHYSICIEN : COMMENT INTÉGRER LE TRAVAIL AVEC LES LGD ?
Authors: Tanguay Denis , Geeraerts Loïc
Published: December 2016

Dans Tanguay et Geeraerts (2012), nous avons considéré le paradigme du géomètre - physicien, inspiré des travaux de Jahnke, et avons fait valoir comment il peut permettre la mise en place, en classe, de pratiques et activités assurant une transition plus harmonieuse entre la Géométrie I et la Géométrie II (Houdement & Kuzniak, 2006), notamment en changeant le statut des axiomes et le rôle de la mesure. Une mise en oeuvre concrète est proposée, grâce entre autres à un système structuré de fiches construites par la classe, celui-ci étant intégré à un espace de travail adapté à la démonstration. La façon d’y réhabiliter le mesurage dans les processus de validation permet de reconsidérer les enjeux de vérité pour leur intégrer, de manière explicite et problématisée, les questions de la fiabilité de la mesure, de l’exactitude par rapport à l’approximation, du théorique vis-à-vis l’empirique. Nous nous interrogeons sur la façon de prendre pleinement ces aspects en compte, en abordant explicitement en classe le problème de l’exactitude de la représentation graphique et des mesures fournies par les logiciels.
QUEL ESPACE DE TRAVAIL GÉOMÉTRIQUE POUR LES ÉLÈVES AU QUÉBEC ET POUR LES FUTURS ENSEIGNANTS ?
Authors: Braconne Annette
Published: December 2016

Cette contribution vise à décrire les différents espaces de travail géométrique liés aux programmes de formation de l’école québécoise au primaire et au secondaire, ceux qui sont mis en oeuvre dans les manuels et dans les classes et celui dans lequel fonctionnent bon nombre d’étudiants dans le cadre de la formation initiale des maîtres. Il résulte de ces différentes études que la distinction entre les ETG visés au primaire et au secondaire n’est pas clairement explicitée. Il semble que ceux-ci s’appuient plutôt sur une géométrie GII morcelée (GII/GI) mais que les élèves peuvent réussir en travaillant dans un ETG personnel relevant d’une géométrie GI assumée (GI/gII). Il découle de ce constat que les futurs enseignants du primaire fonctionnent dans un ETG personnel proche de, voire identique, à celui de l’élève du primaire. Le défi des cours de didactique en formation initiale des maîtres est donc d’amener les futurs enseignants du primaire à un ETG personnel distinct de celui de leurs futurs élèves.

Linear Reformulation of Polynomial Discrete Programming for Fast Computation
Authors: Li Han-Lin , Huang Yao-Huei , Fang Shu-Cherng
Published: December 2016

Polynomial discrete programming problems are commonly faced but hard to solve. Treating the nonconvex cross-product terms is the key. State-of-the-art methods usually convert such a problem into a 0-1 mixed-integer linear programming problem and then adopt the branch-and-bound scheme to find an optimal solution. Much effort has been spent on reducing the required numbers of variables and linear constraints as well as on avoiding unbalanced branch-and-bound trees. This study presents a set of equations that linearize the discrete cross-product terms in an extremely effective manner. It is shown that embedding the proposed “equations for linearizing discrete products” into those state-of-the-art methods in the literature not only significantly reduces the required number of linear constraints from O(h3n3) to O(hn) for a cubic polynomial discrete program with n variables in h possible values but also tighten these methods with much more balanced branch-and-bound trees. Numerical experiments confirm a two-order (102-times) reduction in computational time for some randomly generated cubic polynomial discrete programming problems.

Efficient Computational Analysis of Stationary Probabilities for the Queueing System BMAP/G/1/N With or Without Vacation(s)
Authors: Banik A. D. , Chaudhry M. L.
Published: December 2016

We consider a finite-buffer single-server queue with batch Markovian arrival process. In the case of finite-buffer batch arrival queue, there are different customer rejection/acceptance strategies such as partial batch rejection, total batch rejection, and total batch acceptance policy. We consider partial batch rejection strategy throughout our paper. We obtain queue length distributions at various epochs such as pre-arrival, arbitrary, and post-departure as well as some important performance measures, like probability of loss for the first, an arbitrary, and the last customer of a batch, mean queue lengths, and mean waiting times. The corresponding queueing model under single and multiple vacation policy has also been investigated. Some numerical results have been presented in the form of tables by considering phase-type and Pareto service time distributions. The proposed analysis is based on the successive substitutions in the Markov chain equations of the queue-length distribution at an embedded post-departure epoch of a customer. We also establish relationships among the queue-length distributions at post-departure, arbitrary, and pre-arrival epochs using the classical argument based on Markov renewal theory and semi-Markov processes. Such queueing systems find applications in the performance evaluation of teletraffic part in 4G A11-IP networks.

Authors: Awasthi Pankaj , Karki Himani , Vibhuti Vibhuti , Bargali Kiran , Bargali S. S
Published: December 2016

Vigna is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae with worldwide distribution. In the present study, effect of salt stress was investigated in four species of Vigna viz. V. mungo (urd), V. angularis (rais), V. radiata (moong) and V. aconitifolia (moth) at germination and seedling growth stages in a glasshouse experiment. Seeds of selected crops were surface sterilized and placed under three salt stress levels of 0 (control), 50mM and 100mM using NaCl solutions. Three replicates for each treatment was used for this experiment. The results indicated that increase in salt stress levels caused a reduction in germination percentage, germination rate, shoot length, root length and seedling dry weight of each Vigna species. The overall results indicated that among the four species, V. aconitifolia was the most sensitive, whereas V. mungo was the least sensitive species to the salinity in almost every aspect of growth.
Bereavement support and prolonged grief disorder among carers of people with motor neurone disease
Authors: O'Brien Mary R , Kirkcaldy Andrew J , Knighting Katherine , Roe Brenda , Jack Barbara A
Published: December 2016

Family carers of people with motor neurone disease (MND) face many difficulties before and after bereavement; their support needs are not routinely assessed and little attention is paid to recognising abnormal grief responses. The authors‘ survey (n=56) sought the views of those involved in the care of this population in England (Motor Neurone Disease Association regional care development advisers, staff working in motor neurone disease care and research centres and other health professionals) on bereavement support and prolonged grief disorder in family carers. Results revealed that more than two-thirds of respondents felt unable to predict future cases of prolonged grief disorder (PGD) and that an alert tool to help identify at-risk carers of people with MND would be welcomed. The implications for future research and development of support are also discussed within this article.
The use of ketamine peri-operatively as part of a multimodal analgesia regimen in dogs
Authors: Monkman Nicola
Published: December 2016

The registered veterinary nurse (RVN) plays a crucial role in managing their patients' level of anaesthesia and analgesia, and must have a sound understanding of the different drugs commonly used in day to day anaesthetic protocols. Ketamine, as part of a low dose or sub-anaesthetic multimodal analgesia regimen, can be useful in facilitating the reduction of the amount of volatile agent needed and reduce the need for ‘rescue’ analgesics peri-operatively. Alleviating pain helps speed the recovery of patients by providing comfort and the relief of stress, helping to minimise the occurrence of wound complications. This article explains the pain process and how ketamine augments the overall analgesia and anaesthesia process, enabling a smoother anaesthetic with reduced side effects and what this means to the RVN.

However, the last few years, have seen tremendous advancements in terms of tip designs, disinfection agents, photoacoustic streaming etc. This paper has been compiled in an attempt to discuss the effects of photo-activated technology on the root canal system.
Atendimento ao surdo na atenção básica: perspectiva da equipe multidisciplinar
Authors: Sousa Eliane Meira de , Almeida Maria Antonieta Pereira Tigre
Published: December 2016

A surdez é caracterizada pela perda da percepção normal dos sons. Os profissionais que atuam na atenção básica precisam estar preparados para acolher e prestar atendimento a toda a população, inclusive ao usuário com deficiência auditiva, pois esta deve considerar o indivíduo em sua particularidade, complexidade, integralidade e inserção sociocultural. A atenção básica é considerada, dentro da rede de atenção à saúde como o primeiro nível, sendo a porta de entrada do usuário para os serviços ofertados pelo sistema único de saúde, e tem o papel de desenvolver estratégias que possibilitem ao indivíduo viver de modo saudável, autônomo e sem limitações físicas ou de comunicação. Nesse sentido, o presente estudo teve como objetivo geral investigar o preparo da equipe multiprofissional quanto ao atendimento a pessoa surda na atenção básica, e como objetivos específicos: identificar as dificuldades encontradas pelos profissionais durante o atendimento ao surdo; evidenciar as estratégias de comunicação utilizadas pelos profissionais no atendimento ao surdo e verificar a existência de formação ou capacitação do profissional da atenção básica para atendimento ao surdo. O estudo foi realizado por meio de um levantamento bibliográfico através de busca eletrônica de trabalhos científicos. Foi possível perceber que o atendimento aos surdos na saúde pública está em processo de construção e ainda apresenta sérias deficiências. Assim, para sanar as dificuldades existentes é necessário a presença de acompanhante ou intérpretes preparados que estejam à disposição do serviço e a inclusão de curso de LIBRAS e de disciplinas que abordem os aspectos da comunicação com o surdo no currículo acadêmico das graduações da área de saúde.

Published: December 2016

O presente artigo tem como base a questão da educação especial voltada para a inclusão escolar. Salientando que um olhar especial para dentro dos estabelecimentos regulares de ensino se faz necessário para que as leis e normas que garantem o direito de crianças e jovens com necessidades educacionais especiais sejam realmente cumpridas, efetivando assim a educação inclusiva.  Para isso, o papel da família e da comunidade escolar é de suma importância, pois é na família que todos recebem a educação primeira, para somente depois poder conviver em sociedade.  Os professores também são necessários nesse processo, pois se tornam mediadores entre os educandos diante das relações interpessoais com o meio em que estão inseridos. Por isso, o objetivo maior é conceituar e diferenciar a inclusão nas escolas, compreendendo suas formas e desafios na busca de auxiliar aos professores, às escolas, aos pais e à sociedade como um todo, para que a mesma e desenvolva com sucesso. Assim, foram levantadas algumas discussões teóricas a respeito da importância da escola ser inclusiva, incluindo o papel da família e do professor diante da inclusão escolar. Bem como compreender e que modo a inclusão vai se confirmando, e quais modificações precisam ser feitas para que haja a aceitação das pessoas incluídas, sinalizando assim as perspectivas de ensino e aprendizagem nesse novo cenário da educação brasileira. Concluiu-se, então, que a inclusão de crianças e jovens nas escolas regulares de ensino é um processo amplo, e que as aprendizagens significativas aparecem quando há respeito e envolvimento do todos para que seja construída a cidadania.

Análise Parasitológica de contaminantes de origem fecal em banheiros Femininos de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior do interior da Bahia
Authors: Barboza Marília De Oliveira , Carvalho Alana Soares
Published: December 2016

Os endoparasitas podem ser classificados em helmintos ou protozoários e representam um grave problema de saúde pública para a população mundial. As parasitoses são doenças que necessitam de fatores determinantes para que ocorra contaminação, tais como: condições sócio-econômicas e higiênico-sanitárias precárias, estado nutricional e imunológico alterado, idade, fatores ambientais e climáticos propícios. A prevalência elevada desses parasitas, que afetam principalmente indivíduos jovens, desencadeiam além de problemas gastrintestinais, baixo rendimento corporal e consequente atraso no desenvolvimento escolar. O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a presença de ovos e larvas de helmintos e cistos de protozoários em elementos sanitários de banheiros de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior do Interior da Bahia. Foram coletadas no mês de junho de 2016 amostras de 95 elementos sanitários (tampa de vaso sanitário, assento sanitário, botão da descarga, maçaneta interna da porta, registro da torneira, botão do suporte para papel toalha e botão do suporte para sabonete) em 04 banheiros femininos.  A técnica parasitológica utilizada para análise das lâminas foi o método de Graham (método da fita gomada), que revelou que do total de elementos sanitários analisados, 17 (61%) mostraram-se contaminados por estruturas parasitárias. Nas amostras positivas foram encontrados Enterobius vermiculares, Taenia sp, Giardia lamblia, Entamoeba coli e larvas de nematódeos. Diante dos resultados encontrados torna-se relevante a adoção de práticas educativas de promoção à saúde a fim de reforçar a importância dos cuidados e hábitos diários que são necessários e adequados para evitar a contaminação e/ou reinfecção e possível disseminação de agentes parasitários, que possam ser nocivos à população acadêmica e demais usuários da instituição de ensino avaliada.

A qualidade de vida vem sendo avaliada nas diversas modalidades de pesquisa e em se tratando desta, voltada para os profissionais de saúde, torna-se ainda mais relevante os estudos, devido à complexidade existente na vida destes trabalhadores, pois lidam com diversas situações que acabam deixando-os expostos aos fatores de risco que envolve a profissão. Buscando desvendar o cotidiano dos trabalhadores dessa área, este estudo apresentou como objetivo geral identificar de que forma a falta da qualidade de vida pode afetar a vida dos profissionais de saúde e como objetivos específicos verificar se existe alguma medida preventiva que pode ser aplicada para os mesmos. Este estudo classifica-se como qualitativo, quanto aos objetivos, descritivo e exploratório com procedimento técnico de pesquisa de campo. Foi realizada uma pesquisa com 50 profissionais de saúde, sem distinção de profissão. Com a coleta das informações, foi possível identificar que os profissionais de saúde são pouco valorizados. A sua carga de trabalho é excessiva e o fato de não terem hora estipulada para trabalhar, demonstra ainda mais o quão estes devem ser valorizados pelas instituições de saúde. Contudo, não foi isso que ficou provado neste estudo. Com base nas informações analisadas é possível afirmar que o objetivo proposto para esse estudo foi alcançado.

A revised stratigraphy for the Palaeocene Agatdalen flora (Nuussuaq Peninsula, western Greenland): correlating fossiliferous outcrops, macrofossils, and palynological samples from phosphoritic nodules
Authors: Grímsson Friđgeir , Pedersen Gunver Krarup , Grimm Guido W. , Zetter Reinhard
Published: December 2016

The Cretaceous and Palaeogene floras of western Greenland that were initially described as part of the classical work “Flora fossilis arctica” by Oswald Heer in the 19th century are currently under revision. The Nuussuaq Basin has repeatedly been investigated by geologists and marine invertebrate palaeontologists. These studies provide a modern stratigraphic framework and a basis for revisions of various Cretaceous to Eocene floras from this region, and the correlation of fossil material to stratigraphic units and formal formations. This paper is the first in a series of papers that (i) correlate macrofossil (museum) material and fossil-rich localities with the modern lithostratigraphic framework, (ii) describe new pollen, spores, and other marine/freshwater palynomorphs, and (iii) revise the macrofossil remains from the Agatdalen area (particularly the Danian Agatdal Formation). Since the work of B. Eske Koch in the 1960s and 70s, questions emerged about the correlation of plant fossiliferous outcrops and whether the so-called Agatdalen flora, referred to the Agatdal Formation, originates from a single sedimentary unit or not. In this paper, we summarise the stratigraphy of the Agatdalen area and correlate the fossil plant-bearing outcrops described by Koch to the current lithostratigraphy. We establish which plant fossils belong to the Agatdal Formation and re-assign a great number of other plant fossils to their correct formations. New palynological material is briefly described and correlated to the macrofossil localities and the Agatdal Formation. Previous accounts on the macrofossils (leaves, fruits, seeds) are briefly discussed and directions for future revisions are outlined.
Atrotorquata lineata as a proxy for Juncus roemerianus, Part I: Atrotorquata lineata as a proxy for Juncus roemerianus in surface sediments from high-level salt marshes in the southeastern United States

Juncus roemerianus is a plant that occurs at the upper reaches of salt water influence in marshes from Delaware to Texas. In 2006 a palynomorphic fingerprint to identify surface sediment from J. roemerianus marshes was discovered in a South Carolina study (Marsh 2006, Marsh & Cohen 2008). This fingerprint had four components: (1) high palynomorphic abundance, (2) high palynomorphic diversity, (3) high concentration of Fungal Type A (greater than 10% of the palynomorphs in a given sample) and (4) the presence of the spores of the fungus Atrotorquata lineata, which occurred in the sediments of J. roemerianus marshes but not in the sediments collected from any other marsh type, even in sediments collected less than a meter away from J. roemerianus.

The present study was designed to determine whether (1) Atrotorquata lineata occurs in all present-day Juncus roemerianus marshes regardless of geographic location within the range of the plant, and whether (2) A. lineata is ubiquitous in all surface sediments beneath J. roemerianus regardless of the location of the sample in the marsh. As a result of these two findings, A. lineata can be considered a proxy for the presence of J. roemerianus throughout its range.

To test the first hypothesis, 93 surface samples were obtained from Juncus roemerianus marshes throughout the range of the plant (Delaware to Texas). Atrotorquata lineata was found in all samples from this range except for those from the northeasternmost end of the range (Virginia and Delaware). A new hypothesis is proposed that temperature may be the factor that explains the loss of the fungal proxy at this northeastern boundary. Furthermore, evidence is presented that geomorphologic and sedimentological factors, such as type of substrate, distance from the ocean, position relative to the shoreline, distance from tidal streams, amount of urbanization, tidal range, or wave fetch, were found to have no impact on the presence or absence of A. lineata.

To test the second hypothesis, concerning whether Atrotorquata lineata was present in all parts of a Juncus stand, surface sediments from a 183 m transect across a monospecific Juncus roemerianus marsh were sampled at 15 m intervals. A. lineata was found in all samples regardless of position in the stand.

The results of this study show that Atrotorquata lineata is omnipresent in sediment from Juncus roemerianus marshes throughout all but the most northern edge of the range of J. roemerianus and that it was present across the entire extent of a stand of Juncus roemerianus. Therefore, A. lineata by itself can in fact be considered a proxy for J. roemerianus.
Atrotorquata lineata as a proxy for Juncus roemerianus, Part II: Tracking changes in positions of Juncus roemerianus marshes through time by use of the fungal proxy Atrotorquata lineata

Juncus roemerianus is a species that occurs at the upper reaches of salt water influence in marshes from Delaware to Texas. As such, J. roemerianus is a good marker for sea level, defined for this study as mean highest high water; thus, being able to track its positions over time should enable one to track past changes in relative sea level. In 2006, a palynomorphic fingerprint to identify surface sediment from J. roemerianus marshes was discovered in a South Carolina study (Marsh 2006, Marsh & Cohen 2008). Further study (Marsh & Cohen 2016) showed that one component of this fingerprint, the spore of the fungus Atrotorquata lineata, was so omnipresent in surface sediment from J. roemerianus marshes that the fungus, by itself, can be considered a proxy for J. roemerianus marshes.

In this study we investigated the potential to use Atrotorquata lineata to track past positions of Juncus roemerianus marshes. First we investigated whether A. lineata is preserved beneath the surface. Cores from South Carolina, North Carolina and Florida were found to contain A. lineata, including one from the Harney River area of southwestern Florida in which we had previously found A. lineata at ca 250 cm depth at a level that had been radiocarbon-dated to ca 3200 years BP (Cohen 1968, Cohen & Spackman 1972, 1977, Spackman & Cohen 1976, Marsh & Cohen 2016). Building upon that discovery, we then investigated the possibility of tracking changes in the size and position of J. roemerianus marshes over time. Additional sets of cores clearly revealed evidence of expansion and contraction of J. roemerianus patches over time and further suggested recent past fluctuations in sea level that were both higher and lower than at present but contained within an overall transgressive sequence.
Pollen morphology of Nothofagus (Nothofagaceae, Fagales) and its phylogenetic significance

Nothofagaceae (southern beeches) are a relatively small flowering plant family of trees confined to the Southern Hemisphere. The fossil record of the family is abundant and it has been widely used as a test case for the classic hypothesis that Antarctica, Patagonia, Australia and New Zealand were once joined together. Although the phylogenetic relationships in Nothofagus appear to be well supported, the evolution of some pollen morphological traits remains elusive, largely because of the lack of ultrastructural analyses. Here we describe the pollen morphology of all extant South American species of Nothofagus, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and light microscopy (LM), and reconstruct ancestral character states using a well-supported phylogenetic tree of the family. Our results indicate that the main differences between pollen of subgenera Fuscospora (pollen type fusca a) and Nothofagus (pollen type fusca b) are related to the size of microspines (distinguishable or not in optical section), and the thickening of colpi margins (thickened inwards, or thickened both inwards and outwards). In particular, Nothofagus alessandrii, the only extant South American species of subgenus Fuscospora, presents distinctive pollen features that have not been observed in any other species of the genus (i.e. a large granular infratectum and spongy apertural endexine). Species of subgenus Lophozonia are characterized by having the largest pollen grains, with polygonal outline in polar view, microspines distinguishable in optical section, long and non-thickened colpi, and a thin endexine. The reconstruction of character states for the node corresponding to the common ancestor to genus Nothofagus leads us to conclude that the ancestral form of Nothofagaceae should have had: equatorial diameter < 40 μm, circular outline in polar view, microspines distinguishable in optical section, short colpi thickened inwards, and a thin endexine. These features are fully consistent with those present in Nothofagidites senectus Dettmann & Playford, the oldest fossil species of Nothofagaceae recorded in Campanian-Maastrichtian sediments of Gondwana.

The study presents a characterization of an inclusive secondary school in Bratislava and provides information about the forms and methods used in the work of the teachers, school psychologists, special teachers with regard to students with special needs (students with Attention and Hyperactivity Disorder, i.e. ADHD, with learning difficulties, with emotional and behaviour difficulties, etc.), who are educated together with mainstream students. It also provides information on the first results of the measurements of the socio-emotional health of the students in the inclusive school, both as to its overall level (covitality index) and as to the level of the four psychological dimensions of mental health. The pilot project of the inclusive school confirms that inclusive secondary schools and inclusive education operating within the intentions of positive psychology help the students to develop their cognitive and socio-emotional competences, to create favourable attitudes to diversity, to form the students’ scale of positive values and to encourage positive interpersonal relationships, social cohesion and social classroom climate.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the beat-to-beat variability of T-waves (TWV) and to assess the diagnostic capabilities of T-wave-based features for myocardial infarction (MI). A total of 148 recordings of standard 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) from 79 MI patients (22 females, mean age 63±12 years; 57 males, mean age 57±10 years) and 69 recordings from healthy subjects (HS) (17 females, 42±18 years; 52 males, 40±13 years) were studied. For the quantification of beat-to-beat QT intervals in ECG signal, a template-matching algorithm was applied. To study the T-waves beat-to-beat, we measured the angle between T-wave max and T-wave end with respect to Q-wave (∠α) and T-wave amplitudes. We computed the standard deviation (SD) of beat-to-beat T-wave features and QT intervals as markers of variability in T-waves and QT intervals, respectively, for both patients and HS. Moreover, we investigated the differences in the studied features based on gender and age for both groups. Significantly increased TWV and QT interval variability (QTV) were found in MI patients compared to HS (p<0.05). No significant differences were observed based on gender or age. TWV may have some diagnostic attributes that may facilitate identifying patients with MI. In addition, the proposed beat-to-beat angle variability was found to be independent of heart rate variations. Moreover, the proposed feature seems to have higher sensitivity than previously reported feature (QT interval and T-wave amplitude) variability for identifying patients with MI.
