Le « nom fragile » : mobilité onomastique, sociale et géographique entre Marches et Romagne (Italie centrale) à l’époque moderne
Authors: Gasperoni Michaël
Published: August 2018

Cet article se propose d’étudier les conditions et les implications pratiques et idéologiques de l’émergence tardive des noms de famille dans une région d’Italie centrale ayant accusé un net « retard » en la matière par rapport au reste de l’Europe ou même de la péninsule italienne. En effet, l’absence de noms de famille touche une partie non négligeable de la population des Marches et de Romagne jusqu’au début – voire, dans certains cas, jusqu’à la fin – du xviiie siècle. L’anthroponymie constitue ainsi une clé de lecture tout à fait efficace pour pénétrer au cœur des dynamiques de mobilité et de reproduction familiales ou sociales. D’abord absent, le nom devient rapidement un outil ou un enjeu central que les individus ou les groupes de toute condition manipulent pour se différencier ou se perpétuer. Il est aussi révélateur de certaines conceptions de la famille, s’inscrit dans des logiques individuelles ou collectives que l’œuvre de Gérard Delille nous a données à voir et à étudier sur la longue durée à travers les phénomènes de parenté. Quand le nom devient « fragile » et que la continuité d’une lignée est menacée, les familles n’hésitent pas à s’appuyer sur des familles démographiquement plus vigoureuses, mais socialement plus « fragiles », car allogènes ou moins fortunées, qui adoptent et relèvent alors leur le nom. Les femmes (filles, nièces, sœurs) occupent une place centrale dans ces alliances matrimoniales la plupart du temps asymétriques et à travers lesquelles le « besoin d’éternité » et l’idéologie agnatique et patrilinéaire des familles qui sont sur le point de s’éteindre peut pleinement s’exprimer.
L’affaire Seselj : l’arrêt du Mécanisme pour les Tribunaux pénaux internationaux met fin à 15 ans d’un procès compliqué
Authors: Fauveau Ivanovic Natacha
Published: August 2018

La Chambre d’appel du Mécanisme international appelé à exercer les fonctions résiduelles des Tribunaux pénaux internationaux (le « Mécanisme ») a rendu le 11 avril 2018 son arrêt dans l’affaire le Procureur c. Vojislav Seselj (MICT-16-99-A). Elle y a infirmé l’acquittement prononcé en première instance pour les crimes contre l’humanité commis dans le village de Hrtkovci (Serbie) et a condamné Vojislav Seselj à 10 ans d’emprisonnement pour avoir incité à l’expulsion et au transfert forcé de la population croate et pour avoir commis des persécutions. Cet arrêt soulève des questions juridiques particulièrement intéressantes concernant les éléments des crimes et les modes de responsabilité. Les juges y ont adopté une notion large de l’attaque systématique ou généralisée, nécessaire pour tout crime contre l’humanité. En revanche, ils ont exigé un lien étroit, notamment dans sa dimension temporelle, entre les actes d’incitation à la commission de crimes et la survenance de ceux-ci. Finalement, cet arrêt pose la question des droits de l’accusé devant les juridictions internationales car il interroge le pouvoir de la Chambre d’appel d’infirmer un acquittement et de le remplacer par une condamnation contre laquelle le condamné ne dispose d’aucun recours.
Analysing English First Additional Language teachers’ understanding and implementation of reading strategies

Published: August 2018

Despite the fact that comprehension plays an important role in the reading process, the literature in a South African context reveals that learners continue to struggle with it and teachers continue to neglect it in their teaching. The literature has further shown that teachers’ neglect of comprehension in their reading lessons could be attributed to various reasons, including the fact that teachers seemingly are not taught how to teach reading during their teaching training years. This paper analyses the English First Additional Language teachers’ understanding and their implementation of reading strategies in their classrooms to develop teachers’ understanding and awareness of the important role played by reading strategies in the reading process. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches were followed and a survey design was used. Purposive sampling was used to select 126 teachers, to whom questionnaires were administered. Statistical Package for Social Sciences software was used to analyse the quantitative data and the qualitative data were analysed thematically. The results indicated that the majority of teachers seemed not to understand certain reading strategies and, therefore, implemented only a few that they understood, greatly limiting learners’ potential to explore other reading strategies. The study also established that some teachers only paid attention to traditional reading strategies that did not facilitate comprehension. The study recommended that teachers should be trained on how to teach reading strategies so that they are exposed to a wide range of reading strategies in order to assist learners improve their literacy.

Triatoma vitticeps is a Chagas disease vector that was found infected with Trypanosoma cruzi in homes. As this species is endemic from Brazil (Bahia, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, and Rio de Janeiro) and no study comparing the specimens from different Brazilian states was conducted, we analyzed the genetic distance (16S rDNA, Cyt b, and COI mitochondrial genes) and the chromosomal characteristics for T. vitticeps from Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, and Espírito Santo. All specimens showed the same cytogenetic characteristics. On the other hand, the different mitochondrial genes demonstrated high intraspecific variation between the genetic distances of T. vitticeps from different states ranging from 2.3% to 7.2%. Based on this, our results suggest that possibly what is characterized as T. vitticeps is a complex of cryptic species (or subspecies).

To confirm and investigate possible explanations for unusual trends in malaria indicators, a protocol for rapid, focal assessment of malaria transmission and control interventions was piloted in N’Zérékoré and Macenta Prefectures, which each reported surprisingly low incidence of malaria during the peak transmission months during 2017 in holoendemic Forested Guinea. In each prefecture, epidemiological and entomological cross-sectional surveys were conducted in two sub-prefectures reporting high incidence and one sub-prefecture reporting low incidence. Investigators visited six health facilities and 356 households, tested 476 children, performed 14 larval breeding site transects, and conducted 12 nights of human landing catches during the 2-week investigation. Rapid diagnostic test positivity in the community sample of children under five ranged from 23% to 68% by subprefecture. Only 38% of persons with fever reported seeking care in the public health sector; underutilization was confirmed by verification of health facility and community healthcare worker (CHW) registries. High numbers of Anopheles mosquitoes were collected in human landing collections in N’Zérékoré (38 per night in combined indoor and outdoor collections) and Macenta (87). Most of the detected breeding sites positive for Anopheles larvae (83%) were shallow roadside puddles. In the investigated prefectures, malaria rates remain high and the low reported incidence likely reflects low utilization of the public health-care sector. Strengthening the CHW program to rapidly identify and treat malaria cases and elimination of roadside puddles as part of routine cleanup campaigns should be considered. Systematic joint epidemiological/entomological investigations in areas reporting anomalous signals in routine data can allow control programs to respond with tailored local interventions.

Published: August 2018

Purpose

The evaluation of the sit-to-stand (STS) movement has been widely studied; however, very different protocols are used, making it difficult to choose a methodology. So, the purposes of this study were: (1) to identify the STS Movement assessment protocols for lumbar spine, pelvis, or hip on the basis of video image analysis; (2) to investigate the reference values for these regions range of motion (ROM) using a systematic review with meta-analysis.

Methods

The searches were conducted in BIREME, Embase, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science databases; manual searches were also performed. Two independent reviewers selected the studies, extracted the data, and assessed the methodological quality and risk of bias. The methodological quality was verified by the Downs and Black scale and the strength of evidence by the GRADE system. Seventeen studies were included, from which data on sample, evaluation protocols, and ROM angles were extracted.

Results and conclusions

The studies showed high strength of evidence. Acquisition protocols diverged, but most of the studies utilized 3D video image analysis with optoelectronic systems, backless seat with adjustable height, and asking the subject to perform 3 trials of the movement in self-referred speed, keeping the arms crossed. The meta-analysis provided reference values for adults hip ROM (compared with the thigh) of 81.19–93.71°. For the elderly, the angles for lumbar spine and hip position at the start of the STS movement were 0.20–3.99° and 73.58–78.06°, respectively.
Reliability and minimal detectable change of sit-to-stand kinematics and kinetics in typical children
Authors: Suriyaamarit Duangporn , Boonyong Sujitra
Published: August 2018

Purpose

The study aimed to determine the within- and between-session reliabilities as well as the minimal detectable change (MDC) of generally used temporal, kinematic, and kinetic parameters during the sit-to-stand (STS) task in typical children.

Methods

The study involved 10 typical children (9.8 ± 1.6 years old). Motion analysis and force plate systems were used to collect markers for 3-dimensional trajectories in space and measure the ground reaction force. The total of 29 reflective markers were placed on each participant’s body in accordance with the Helen Hays marker set model by 1 rater on 2 separate days within the span of 1 week. Each subject was asked to perform an STS task 3 times from a height-adjustable chair. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), standard error of measurement (SEM), and MDC for temporal, kinematic, and kinetic parameters were calculated within and between sessions.

Results

The results indicated that the temporal parameters achieved excellent (ICC > 0.75), the kinematic parameters presented poor to excellent (0.232 < ICC < 0.997), and the kinetic parameters showed fair to excellent (0.635 < ICC < 0.977) reliabilities in both within- and between-session analyses. The SEM of most kinematic parameters was less than 2° both within and between sessions. In addition, the MDC values for between sessions ranged 1.25–12.64°.

Conclusions

The findings support the reliability of using 3-dimensional motion analysis and force plate systems for measuring temporal, kinematic, and kinetic parameters for STS tasks in typical children.

Abstract. In this study we investigate the climatological behavior of the aerosol optical properties over Thessaloniki during the years 2003–2017. For this purpose, measurements of two independent instruments, a lidar and a sunphotometer, were used. These two instruments represent two individual networks, the European Lidar Aerosol Network (EARLINET) and the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET). They include different measurement schedules. Fourteen years of lidar and sunphotometer measurements were analyzed, independently of each other, in order to obtain the annual cycles and trends of various optical and geometrical aerosol properties in the boundary layer, in the free troposphere, and for the whole atmospheric column. The analysis resulted in consistent statistically significant and decreasing trends of aerosol optical depth (AOD) at 355 nm of −23.2 and −22.3 % per decade in the study period over Thessaloniki for the EARLINET and the AERONET datasets, respectively. Therefore, the analysis indicates that the EARLINET sampling schedule can be quite effective in producing data that can be applied to long-term climatological studies. It is also shown that the observed decreasing trend is mainly attributed to changes in the aerosol load inside the boundary layer. Seasonal profiles of the most dominant aerosol mixture types observed over Thessaloniki have been generated from the lidar data. The higher values of the vertically resolved extinction coefficient at 355 nm appear in summer, while the lower ones appear in winter. The dust component is more dominant in the free troposphere than in the boundary layer during summer. The biomass burning layers tend to arrive in the free troposphere during spring and summer. This kind of information can be quite useful for applications that require a priori aerosol profiles. For instance, they can be utilized in models that require aerosol climatological data as input, in the development of algorithms for satellite products, and also in passive remote-sensing techniques that require knowledge of the aerosol vertical distribution.

Abstract. The co-occurrence of heat waves and pollution events and the resulting high
mortality rates emphasize the importance of the co-occurrence of pollution
and temperature extremes. Through the use of extreme value theory and other
statistical methods, tropospheric surface ozone and temperature extremes and
their joint occurrence are analyzed over the United States during the summer
months (JJA) using measurements and simulations of the present and future
climate and chemistry. Five simulations from the Chemistry-Climate Model
Initiative (CCMI) reference experiment using specified dynamics (REFC1SD)
were analyzed: the CESM1 CAM4-chem, CHASER, CMAM, MOCAGE and MRI-ESM1r1
simulations. In addition, a 25-year present-day simulation branched off the
CCMI REFC2 simulation in the year 2000 and a 25-year future simulation
branched off the CCMI REFC2 simulation in 2100 were analyzed using CESM1
CAM4-chem. The last two simulations differed in their concentration of carbon
dioxide (representative of the years 2000 and 2100) but were otherwise
identical. In general, regions with relatively high ozone extremes over the
US do not occur in regions of relatively high temperature extremes. A new
metric, the spectral density, is developed to measure the joint extremal
dependence of ozone and temperature by evaluating the spectral dependence of
their extremes. While in many areas of the country ozone and temperature are
highly correlated overall, the correlation is significantly reduced when
examined on the higher end of the distributions. Measures of spectral density
are less than about 0.35 everywhere, suggesting that at most only about a
third of the time do extreme temperatures coincide with extreme ozone. Two
regions of the US have the strongest measured extreme dependence of ozone and
temperature: the northeast and the southeast. The simulated future increase
in temperature and ozone is primarily due to a shift in their distributions,
not to an increase in their extremes. The locations where the right-hand side
of the temperature distribution does increase (by up to 30 %) are
consistent with locations where soil–moisture feedback may be expected.
Future changes in the right-hand side of the ozone distribution range
regionally between +20 % and −10 %. The location of future increases
in the high-end tail of the ozone distribution are weakly related to those of
temperature with a correlation of 0.3. However, the regions where the
temperature extremes increase are not located where the extremes in ozone are
large, suggesting a muted ozone response.
Quantifying uncertainty from aerosol and atmospheric parameters and their impact on climate sensitivity
Authors: Fletcher Christopher G. , Kravitz Ben , Badawy Bakr
Published: August 2018

Abstract. Climate sensitivity in Earth System Models (ESMs) is an emergent property that is affected by structural (missing or inaccurate model physics) and parametric (variations in model parameters) uncertainty. This work provides the first quantitative assessment of the role of compensation between uncertainties in aerosol forcing and atmospheric parameters, and their impact on the climate sensitivity of the Community Atmosphere Model, Version 4 (CAM4). Running the model with prescribed ocean and ice conditions, we perturb four parameters related to sulfate and black carbon aerosol radiative forcing and distribution, as well as five atmospheric parameters related to clouds, convection, and radiative flux. The atmospheric parameters explain more than 85 \\% of the variance in climate sensitivity for the ranges of parameters explored here, with two parameters being the most important: one controlling low cloud amount, and one controlling the timescale for deep convection. Although the aerosol parameters strongly affect aerosol optical depth, the effects of these aerosol parameters on climate sensitivity are substantially weaker than the effects of the atmospheric parameters. Based on comparisons to inter-model spread of other ESMs, we conclude that structural uncertainties in this configuration of CAM4 likely contribute three times more to uncertainty in climate sensitivity than parametric uncertainty. We provide several parameter sets that could provide plausible (measured by a skill score) configurations of CAM4, but with different sulfate aerosol radiative forcing, black carbon radiative forcing, and climate sensitivity.
Accelerating simulations using REDCHEM_v0.0 for atmospheric chemistry mechanism reduction

Published: August 2018

Abstract. Chemical mechanism reduction is common practice in combustion research for
accelerating numerical simulations; however, there have been limited
applications of this practice in atmospheric chemistry. In this study, we
employ a powerful reduction method in order to produce a skeletal mechanism
of an atmospheric chemistry code that is commonly used in air quality and
climate modelling. The skeletal mechanism is developed using input data from
a model scenario. Its performance is then evaluated both a priori against the
model scenario results and a posteriori by implementing the skeletal
mechanism in a chemistry transport model, namely the Weather Research and
Forecasting code with Chemistry. Preliminary results, indicate a substantial
increase in computational speed-up for both cases, with a minimal loss of
accuracy with regards to the simulated spatio-temporal mixing ratio of the
target species, which was selected to be ozone.
Ablative and geomorphic effects of a supraglacial lake drainage and outburst event, Nepal Himalaya

Published: August 2018

Abstract. A set of supraglacial ponds rapidly filled between April and July 2017 on Changri Shar Glacier in the Everest region of Nepal, coalescing into a ~ 180,000 m2 lake before sudden and complete drainage through Changri Shar and Khumbu Glaciers 15–17 July. We use a suite of PlanetScope and Pléiades satellite orthoimagery to document the system's evolution over its very short filling period and to assess the glacial and proglacial effects of the outburst flood. We additionally use high resolution stereo digital elevation models (DEMs) to complete a detailed analysis of the event's ablative and geomorphic effects. Finally, measurement of the flood’s passage at a stream gauge 4 km downstream enables a refined interpretation of the chronology and overall magnitude of the outburst. We infer largely subsurface drainage through both glaciers located on its flowpath, and efficent drainage through Khumbu Glacier. The drainage and subsequent outburst of 1.36 ± 0.19 x 106 m3 impounded water had a clear geomorphic impact on glacial and proglacial topography at least as far as 11 km downstream, including deep incision and landsliding along the Changri Nup proglacial stream, the collapse of shallow englacial conduits near the Khumbu terminus and extensive, enhanced bank erosion below Khumbu Glacier. These sudden changes led to the rerouting of major trails in three locations, demonstrating the potential hazard that short-lived, relatively small glacial lakes pose.
Canadian and Australian First Nations: Decolonising knowledge
Authors: Arnold Josie
Published: August 2018

This article explores Indigenous standpoint theory in Australia in the context of postcolonialism and some of its aspects influencing Canadian First Nations scholarship. I look at how cultural metanarratives are ideologically informed and act to lock out of scholarship other ways of knowing, being and doing. I argue that they influence knowledge and education so as to ratify Eurowestern dominant knowledge constructs. I develop insights into redressing this imbalance through advocating two-way learning processes for border crossing between Indigenous axiologies, ontologies and epistemologies, and dominant Western ones. In doing so, I note that decolonisation of knowledge sits alongside decolonisation itself but has been a very slow process in the academy. I also note that this does not mean that decolonisation of knowledge is always necessarily an oppositional process in scholarship, proposing that practice-led research (PLR) provides one model for credentialling Indigenous practitioner-knowledge within scholarship. The article reiterates the position of alienation in their own lands that such colonisation implements again and in an influential and ongoing way. The article further proposes that a PhD by artefact and exegesis based on PLR is potentially an inclusive model for First Nations People to enter into non-traditional research within the academy.
Book Review: Memory Serves: Oratories
Authors: Johnk Lzz
Published: August 2018

In Memory Serves, Stó:lō (Coast Salish) rememberer and storyteller Lee Maracle weaves together a selection of her speeches and lectures into a single volume of oratories. In the preface, Maracle expresses the worry that in the process of converting these spoken pieces into written form, “the words can lose much of the personality of the speaker” (xii). Her voice as a storyteller, however, coheres beautifully on the page, carrying the rhythm and consonance of her original orations. The recurrence of several themes (decoloniality, sovereignty, direction, memory) that arise throughout the text also gives us a powerful sense of her memory and personality as an Indigenous woman, elder, and rememberer who is anchored by the cultural values of her people.
Economy of Poverty

Case Study of Successful Project Management in Two Indigenous Communities
Authors: Jose Dennis
Published: August 2018

This essay outlines some of the developmental, technical and operational issues in the provision of employment and training programs within community housing projects in the communities of Toomelah and Boggabilla. It offers, in the form of a community case study model, practical examples and solutions and demonstrates that, when projects are grounded within the community in which they are operationalised, that they can have successful outcomes. It is also demonstrated that by involving Aboriginal peoples from the local area and developing a sense of ownership that projects can offer individual and community empowerment and lasting outcomes for the future.
'Labor' of Belonging
Authors: Grey Jackie
Published: August 2018

This article examines notions of "labor" and "belonging" in contemporary indigenous-settler relations on the Wampanoag island of Noëpe, a place known all too well in the U.S. as "Martha's Vineyard". I focus on an ethnographic incident in which a Wampanoag fisherman stands before a town council on Noëpe and appeals for the right to fish in ancestral waters without penalty. Conceptualizing labor as agency, I am interested in the kind of work indigenous belonging demands in contested places. I am especially concerned about the vulnerability of small, financially stressed tribes and indigenous selves who must out-maneuver the labored manipulations of settler law and regulation at the level of locality. What are the political alternatives for Indians who are not rich, who are not members of rich tribes? What kind of "labor" must small tribes exert in order to preserve and protect indigenous selves and articulations of self-rule? It is within an economy of labored belonging that this project situates indigenous agency and contemplates the intensity and complexity of its work.
Yarning About Yarning as a Legitimate Method in Indigenous Research
Authors: Bessarab Dawn , Ng'andu Bridget
Published: August 2018

This article demonstrates the credibility and rigor of yarning, an Indigenous cultural form of conversation, through its use as a data gathering tool with two different Indigenous groups, one in Australia and the second in Botswana. Yarning was employed not only to collect information during the research interview but to establish a relationship with Indigenous participants prior to gathering their stories through storytelling, also known as narrative. In exploring the concept of yarning in research, this article discusses the different types of yarning that emerged during the research project, how these differences were identified and their applicability in the research process. The influence of gender during the interview is also included in the discussion.

By degrees it has come to pass that working men have been surrendered, isolated and helpless, to the hardheartedness of employers and the greed of unchecked competition … To this must be added that the hiring of labor and the conduct of trade are concentrated in the hands of comparatively few; so that a small number of very rich men have been able to lay upon the teeming masses of the laboring poor a yoke little better than that of slavery itself (Pope Leo XIII 1891).
Whitewashing the Gap
Authors: Moore Robyn
Published: August 2018

In this article I utilise critical discourse analysis to investigate the discursive practices evident in the Gillard Government’s 2011 ‘Closing the Gap’ speech. The speech is interpreted as a performative activity which normalises the racialised privilege/disadvantage divide in contemporary Australia by framing this divide as meritocratic. Inherently contradictory discourses are used to position both the government and Indigenes in antithetical ways. The government is constructed as a benevolent authority, yet is excused from responsibility for ‘closing the gap’. Indigenous peoples are framed as culturally deficient while simultaneously held responsible to ‘close the gap’. The contentiousness of these discourses is minimised by their portrayal as hegemonic commonsense.
The Incidence of Social Security Payroll Taxes: Evidence From China
Authors: Ma Xinxin , Zhang Dongyang
Published: August 2018

The Chinese government enforced public security system reform in the economic transition period. Now, the enterprise’ social insurance premium, a kind of payroll tax, is nearly 40% of the total wage in China. It is thought enterprises may transfer the burden of payroll taxes to workers by reducing their wages. Does the level of an enterprise’s social security payroll taxes influence their workers’ wages? Using the Chinese Large and Medium-size Manufacturing Enterprises (CLMME) dataset to construct an enterprise panel data from 2004 to 2007, we employ an empirical study to provide evidence on the issue. We utilize the fixed effects model, random effects model and Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) method to address the heterogeneity problem, initial dependent problem and endogenous problem. It is found that in general, increased social security payroll taxes negatively affect the workers’ wages, which indicates that many enterprises may transfer the payroll taxes burden onto their workers. Increased social security payroll taxes may decrease the wage levels for workers in both the public sector and the private sector, but the negative effect is greater for workers in the private sector than in the public sector.
Non-Tariff Measures in Indian Context and the European Union

Published: August 2018

Indian economy is one of the fastest growing economies in the world today. In line with global trade trends, Indian export sector has been growing and contributing significantly to the economy. Given its exports structure, India is well positioned to benefit from the structural changes in technology and emerging forces of globalization. Indian economy has shown remarkable progress in terms of foreign trade after the introduction of economic reforms in 1991. The European Union (EU) is a very important trading partner of India. The trade volumes between India and EU have shown remarkable improvement in last one and a half decade. After starting out at a relatively low level in the 1990’s, the trade volumes, both with respect to Indian exports to the EU as well as with respect to Indian imports from the EU, started to increase most noticeably after the year 2001.Use of non-tariff measures (NTMs) as means of protection has captured a lot of focus after reduction of tariffs in the world trade. India even after being a strategic partner for European Union (EU) has to face lot of NTMs on its exports. Based on studies in the past, link between the incidence of NTMs imposed by the home country and the income level of the foreign country has been established. The interplay of incidence of NTMs and the GDP remains largely unexplored in the context of India-EU trade relationship. This paper tries to fill this gap and show the importance of the study in policy decisions. Authors have used UNCTAD’s NTM data and Spearman’s correlation coefficient to measure the strength and direction of the relationship between incidence of NTM with per capita GDP of the exporting country (India). The authors have used different permutations of data from the main data set (1994-95 to 2016-17) for analysis and have concluded that incidence of NTMs on Indian exports to EU is positively co-related to the per capita GDP of India.
Combinations of Different FIR Windows for Removal of Baseline and Power Line Noise from Electrocardiogram
Authors: Reja Mohammad Istiaque , Murtuza Md. Golam , Roy Roki
Published: August 2018

Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a vital tool used for diagnosing various heart diseases. It is the graphical representation of the electrical activity of the heart. But the electrocardiographic signals are often corrupted by noise from diverse sources. The most significant noises that corrupt ECG signal are power line interference and baseline wanders. It is necessary to reduce the amount of these disturbances from ECG signal for proper identification and interpretation of heart condition. This paper investigates the performance of the different 'Band stop filter-High Pass filter' combinations of window based FIR filter for removing the baseline wander and power line noise present in electrocardiogram. The ECG signal is generated and then noises are added to the ECG signal using MATLAB® where filters are designed and analyzed using Filter Design and Analysis Tool (FDATool). 49 different 'Band stop filter-High Pass filter' combinations are made using seven different FIR windows namely Bartlett, Chebyshev, Hamming, Hann, Kaiser, Rectangular, Triangular. For filter order of 350 and 450, the performance of different window combinations are compared and analyzed in terms of Signal power, Peak-to-peak value, Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and Mean Square Error (MSE) of the filtered output. A further analysis of the waveforms of the filtered output show that the combinations where both the bandstop and highpass filters are either Kaiser or Rectangular window i.e. Kaiser-Kaiser, Kaiser-Rectangular, Rectangular-Kaiser and Rectangular-Rectangular windows give the best performance in reducing both the baseline noise and high frequency power line noise. It is also found that the reduction of baseline noise is better if 450 filter order is used instead of 350 order in the above mentioned best four combinations, although the amount of delay for 450 order is slightly higher.
