Published: December 2021

Participation in an organized group which aims to attack a state representative is traditionally one of the most severely punished crimes. The aim of this paper is to analyze the body of crime and the punishments imposed according to C 9. 8. 5. The punishments will be examined both concerning their efficiency and compliance with modern approaches, such as individual and general prevention and repression, and non-discrimination.
Dr. Korbuly Pál, sudca Štátneho súdu v Bratislave
Authors: Neupauer František 
Published: December 2021

The history of law indeed refers to persons handing down judgments and often offers interesting stories, such as the story of a judge working under various political regimes Dr. Pavel Korbuly (1906–1970). On May 4, 1934, Korbuly was appointed a single judge in criminal matters, after 1948 he became an instrument of justice under the communist regime and was one of the most active judges of the State Court in Bratislava. Prior to the Vienna Arbitration, he was a judge in the Czechoslovak Republic, then in Hungary, and after 1948 he was one of the judges who tried and sentenced victims of the communist regime (more than 500 people) in Slovakia. By the same communist regime, however, Korbuly was later prosecuted due to his active support of the anti-communist uprising in Hungary in 1956. Unlike others, he was one of the judges who had realized their responsibility for convicting the innocent and committed public repentance. From this perspective, his life story is unique in Central Europe as well as worldwide.
Poválečné perzekuce příslušníků armády a přijetí zákona na ochranu lidově demokratické republiky
Authors: Řepa Tomáš 
Published: December 2021

After the end of the Second World War, Czechoslovakia was a country at a crossroads. The communists tried to take control of key institutions of the state, including the army. In doing so, a number of illegalities were committed. After the coup in February 1948, this was followed by the adoption of legislation by the already totalitarian state. A striking example was Law No. 231/1948 on the Protection of the People’s Democratic Republic, adopted in October 1948. On the basis of this law, many thousands of people were convicted for alleged anti-State acts.

Hoffmanigraptus n. gen., a new retiolitine (Graptolithina), an early member of the Plectograptus lineage from the Silurian of Baltica, Poland
Authors: KOZŁOWSKA Anna 
Published: December 2021

Most upper Homerian and Ludfordian retiolitines have a tubarium with hexagonal meshes and a zigzag pattern in the middle part of their lateral walls, a shallow ancora umbrella, and a free nema. Hoffmanigraptus varsoviensis n. gen., n. sp. is described from isolated, three-dimensional material, from the upper part of the Colonograptus praedeubeli Biozone (upper Homerian, Silurian) of Poland, Baltica, and represents one of the earliest forms with this construction. This type of tubarium is represented by the upper Homerian Doliograptus Lenz & Kozłowska-Dawidziuk, 2002 and Spinograptus Bouček & Münch, 1952, differing from Hoffmanigraptus n. gen. mainly in larger proximal lateral orifices, pattern of clathrial lists on lateral walls, as well as size and shape of tubaria. Hoffmanigraptus n. gen. has a tubarium widening medially, tapering towards the distal end and forming a finite tubarium, with a possible three-vaned nematularium. Flattened specimens Plectograptus? ovatus Kozłowska, Lenz & Štorch, 2001 and Plectograptus? karlsteinensis Kozłowska, Lenz & Štorch, 2001, preserved on a rock surface from the Barrandian area are assigned to the new genus. They are of the same upper Homerian age, and show the main features of the new form. Hoffmanigraptus n. gen. is regarded as an early member of the Plectograptus clade.

Published: December 2021

Introduction Sleep is essential for performing cognitive function in humans. We have hypothesized that sleep fragmentation compared to sleep efficiency may have a negative impact on the working memory.
Material and Methods Twenty-eight healthy adults (18 males and 10 females; mean age 27.8±15.5 years) were enrolled in this study. We measured the total sleep time (TST), sleep efficiency, %stage wakefulness (W), %stage rapid eye movement (REM), %stage N1, %stage N2, %stage N3, wake after sleep onset (WASO), and arousal index using polysomnography. Working memory, executive function, and sustained attention of three domains of cognitive function were evaluated with the number of back task (N-back task), Wisconsin card sorting test (WCST), and continuous performance test-identical pairs (CPT-IP), respectively.
Results The percentage of correct answers on the 2-back task was significantly correlated with %stage REM, %stage N1, and %stage N2 (%stage REM: r=0.505, p=0.006; %stage N1: r=-0.637, p<0.001; %stage N2: r=0.670, p<0.001), and multiple regression analysis including the stepwise forward selection method revealed that %stage N2 was the most significant factor (%stage N2: β=0.670, p<0.001). The percentage of correct answers on the 2-back task was also significantly correlated with TST, sleep efficiency, WASO, and arousal index (TST: r=0.492, p=0.008; sleep efficiency: r=0.622, p<0.001; WASO: r=-0.721, p<0.001; arousal index: r=-0.656, p<0.001), and WASO was the significant factor (β=-2.086, p=0.007). The WCST category achievement and CPT-IP d-prime score were correlated with none of the sleep variables.
Conclusion Increased WASO and a decrease in %stage N2 were associated with worse working memory.
An easy maneuver to screen for moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep spnea: the Simmons Chin Press and Tongue Curl
Authors: Meskill Gerard Joseph , Kincheloe Kelly , Simmons Jerald Howard , Meskill Sarah Dennis 
Published: December 2021

Objectives: To demonstrate that the Simmons chin press and tongue curl (SCPTC) correlates with diagnosis of moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (msOSA) by itself as well as irrespective of the presence of other associated features.
Material and Methods: A consecutive sample of 1,911 sleep studies performed on adult patients from 2/8/2017 to 3/5/2019 was analyzed. The SCPTC exam maneuver was performed on each patient, followed by home sleep apnea testing or in-laboratory polysomnography. The AASM hypopnea 1B 4% desaturation criteria were utilized for scoring to correlate results to existing literature on morbidity and mortality. A chi-squared using low and high SCPTC score was performed for the outcome of msOSA. Known significant predictors of OSA were dichotomized for comparison and a multiple logistic regression was performed.
Results: 1,708 patients qualified for inclusion: 902 males (52.8%) and 806 females (47.2%) with a mean age of 49.4 and a mean body mass index (BMI) of 28.6. A high SCPTC score correlated with an odds ratio (OR) of 2.49 (95% CI: 2.03-3.04, p<0.001) for msOSA. A multiple logistic regression analysis including other risk factors for msOSA demonstrated that high SCPTC scores had an odds ratio for msOSA of 1.77 (95% CI: 1.40-2.23; p<0.001).
Conclusion: The SCPTC is a reproducible physical exam feature that can be utilized by healthcare providers to screen for patients with msOSA.

Authors: Deane Hannah V , Concepcion Holly A , Gatewood Avery E , Quintana Janessa , Seggio Joseph A 
Published: December 2021

Objective: Being visually impaired increases the likelihood of sleep disorders and altered behavior. This study investigated physiological and behavioral differences in two similar mice substrains when exposed to constant light (LL) - CBA/J with retinal degeneration and CBA/CaJ mice (no retinal degeneration).
Material and Methods: Male CBA/J and CBA/CaJ mice were placed into a 12:12 light:dark cycle or constant light (LL). Open field behavior, metabolic markers, and home-cage circadian activity were observed.
Results: CBA/CaJ mice have greater circadian period lengthening, increased weight gain, reduced glucose, and increased novelty-induced locomotor activity in LL, compared to CBA/J mice. LL reduced thyroid hormone and insulin in both substrains.
Discussion: While several baseline substrain differences were elucidated, CBA/CaJ mice were more effected by the exposure to LL than the blind CBA/J mice. These results illustrate that LL causes alterations in physiology and behavior and that circadian photoreceptivity might contribute to these effects.
Robótica para la inclusión educativa: una revisión sistemática
Authors: Rodrigo Parra Judit 
Published: December 2021

La educación debe ser inclusiva y uno de los instrumentos de los que se puede servir es la robótica. Además, uno de los elementos de la robótica es la programación y para programar se aplica el pensamiento computacional. Por otra parte, para que la educación sea inclusiva se debe atender a la diversidad. Así, se procede a desarrollar una revisión sistemática sobre el uso de la robótica para la inclusión educativa. Las preguntas de investigación son: ¿La robótica educativa puede ser una estrategia de inclusión educativa?, ¿qué beneficios se obtienen con el uso de la robótica en la inclusión educativa? y ¿cómo es la formación de los docentes en relación con el uso de la robótica para la inclusión? Tras aplicar filtros siguiendo la declaración PRISMA han sido seleccionados 23 estudios pertenecientes a las bases de datos Scopus y WOS. Las conclusiones son que la robótica sí puede ser una estrategia de inclusión educativa. Además, se señalan numerosos beneficios de la misma, como el aumento de la motivación, la creatividad y la capacidad de trabajo en equipo y la mejora en habilidades sociales y comunicativas. En lo relativo a la formación docente en este ámbito se han obtenido pocos resultados, pues muy pocos estudios de la revisión sistemática tratan este tema. No obstante, se destaca que la mayoría de los docentes considera la robótica una herramienta útil para la inclusión educativa.
Education must be inclusive and one of the tools used to achieve this is robotics. In addition, one of the elements of robotics is programming and computational thinking is applied to program. On the other hand, to ensure that education is inclusive, there must be diversity. I proceed to develop a systematic review on the use of robotics for educational inclusion. The questions of this research are: Can educational robotics be a strategy for educational inclusion? What benefits are obtained with the use of robotics in educational inclusion? How is the training of teachers in relation to the use of robotics for inclusion? After applying filters following the PRISMA statement, 23 studies belonging to the Scopus and WOS databases have been selected. The conclusions are: educational robotics can indeed be a strategy for educational inclusion. In addition, numerous benefits are reported, such as increased motivation, creativity and teamwork skills, and improved social and communication skills. Few results have been obtained about teacher training in this área (very few studies in the systematic review address this issue). However, it is noted that most teachers consider robotics a useful tool for educational inclusion.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the role of Posidonius as a source for Strabo. Both were Greek-speaking authors who lived under Roman rule, and both professed Stoic doctrine. Strabo made extensive use of Posidonian works to complete his own geographical ouvre, however, we will see that the conditioning factors derived from the different political necessities in which each lived would mark fundamental ideological and methodological differences.
Gerber-Shiu Function in a Discrete-time Risk Model with Dividend Strategy
Authors: Huang Junqing , Bao Zhenhua 
Published: December 2021

In this paper, a discrete-time risk model with dividend strategy and a general premium rate is considered. Under such a strategy, once the insurer’s surplus hits a constant dividend barrier , dividends are paid off to shareholders at instantly. Using the roots of a generalization of Lundberg’s fundamental equation and the general theory on difference equations, two difference equations for the Gerber-Shiu discounted penalty function are derived and solved. The analytic results obtained are utilized to derive the probability of ultimate ruin when the claim sizes is a mixture of two geometric distributions. Numerical examples are also given to illustrate the applicability of the results obtained.
