The subject of this study is an analysis of the detainee’s right to have contact with a lawyer or solicitor and to direct consultation with them as an element of the right of defence. The right of defence is also applicable with respect to detainees. An important element in the process of its fulfi lment is the real contact of the detainee with a lawyer or solicitor. In particular, it allows the detainee to obtain legal advice, not only with respect to the current procedural situation but also with respect to further legal consequences and ultimately effect the rights of defence to which the detainee is eligible in the manner consistent with his/her actual procedural interests. The author’s intention is to examine the scope and rules of application of the rights of the detainee as set out in Art. 245 of the Criminal Procedure Code and the analysis of its effect on the detainee’s effective exercising of the right of defence.

Trends in age-standardized cancer mortality for Swedish men and women, between 1931 and 1992, were studied using official cause of death statistics. Overall, age-standardized cancer mortality increased by about 16 percent among men and decreased by about six percent among women during the period studied. Among both men and women older than 70 years, age-standardized cancer mortality increased. In all other age groups decreases occurred. During the period studied, a number of changes have occurred that affect cause of death registration, for example, changes in classification routines and improved diagnosis. The exact magnitude of these effects on the observed trends is difficult to estimate, but it seems clear that a bias towards increasing age-standardized cancer mortality has been introduced. Furthermore, this bias may be substantial, thus obscuring the real trends in age- standardized cancer mortality.

AbstractIn Kenya private prosecutions are governed by different laws. These are the Criminal Procedure Code, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions Act, the Constitution and case law developed by courts. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how courts have invoked these laws to deal with the following issues that relate to private prosecutions: the right to institute a private prosecution, locus standi to institute a private prosecution, and measures in place to prevent or minimise the abuse of private prosecutions. The author recommends ways through which Kenyan legislation could be amended to strengthen the private prosecutions regime.

Collisions with ski–lift cables are an important cause of death for grouse species living close to alpine ski resorts. As several biases may reduce the detection probability of bird carcasses, the mortality rates related to these collisions are generally underestimated. The possibility that injured birds may continue flying for some distance after striking cables represents a major source of error, known as crippling bias. Estimating the crippling losses resulting from birds dying far from the ski–lift corridors is difficult and it is usually assessed by systematic searches of carcasses on both sides of the ski–lifts. Using molecular tracking, we were able to demonstrate that a rock ptarmigan hen flew up to 600 m after striking a ski–lift cable, a distance preventing its detection by traditional carcasses surveys. Given the difficulty in conducting systematic searches over large areas surrounding the ski–lifts, only an experiment using radio–tagged birds would allow us to estimate the real mortality rate associated with cable collision.

There are few opportunities for biological anthropologists to apply their work to the real world. The primary exception is forensic anthropology, in which biological anthropology is applied to the legal process in the attempt to discern skeletal features that can be used to determine the age, sex, stature, ancestry, and sometimes cause of death, of individuals.

According to the ordinary procedure, the time duration for a case proceeding can be extended from 4 to 8 months; therefore, subjectively the judge who is  assigned to settle the case does not necessarily determine the type of case involving simple facts or the clear legal relationship to deal with promptly;  consequently, the simplified procedure which was specified in  the Civil Procedure Code 2015 has fulfilled that task. However, by examining the new provisions on the simplified procedure, the author realizes that there are certain limitations. In this paper, the author assesses the real state of law restrictions in practice, and then applies the methods of synthesis, analysis, comparison and evaluation in order to make proposals for the perfect law based on the view of the Party and the State on the strategies of judicial reform. The proposals can be both applied effectively in judicial work and used as reference sources for law students and for teaching.

However, in medical record  filling, incompleteness  is often found and cause inaccurate information. Accuracy coding important for financial of hospital.Methods: Type  of  research  is  quantitative  descriptive,  which  is  to  determine  the  completeness  and accuracy of  the  medical  records  for  hepatoma  cases and procedure code using criteria  for  document  quantitative  analysis in a public hospital, Padang.

Barry Anderson died in Paris on 27 May 1987, a few hours after the first performance of his new chamber work, ARC. His hectic life-style with its incessant demands had burned him out. The immediate cause of death was heart failure, but the real cause was exhaustion from years of overwork as a composer, teacher, concert organizer, ‘ghost’ writer, and pioneer in the dissemination of electro-acoustic music in this country. He was 52 years old and, sadly, just beginning to be recognized as a composer of international stature.
