The characters used in the classification of the logaoedic–coreoid complex of the Heteroptera vary and no simple classification into superfamilies is apparent. The abdomen provides a number of additional characters which are useful and can be used with previous ones, in the assessment of phenetic affinity. The Coreoidea can be considered as containing families with 75% affinity with the Coreidae, whilst the Lygaeoidea contains families with less than a 75% affinity with this family. Since many of the families in the complex are defined on rather subjective characters, a key based on objective abdominal characters seems more satisfactory.

Perhaps the first point which attracts the attention of the European lawyer who begins to study the treatment of qatl (homicide) in the text-books of Islamic law is that it is there treated, in modern parlance, more as a tort than a crime. To understand the offence properly, however, no such simple classification will suffice: instead, it is essential to view it in its historical setting and detailed development.Under the heading of ‘uqūbāt, or punishments, Muslim lawyers treat primarily the very limited number of offences for which definite penalties (hudūd, singular hadd) are expressly prescribed in the arīa, although reference is also frequently made to the discretionary power of the Ruler or Judge suitably to punish other wrongdoing. Offences in general, moreover, are normally sub-divided into those which are regarded as exclusively involving the “right of God”, those in which both the “right of God” and the right of some individual is recognized but the former is held to preponderate, and those in which the latter is regarded as predominant. In the first category all jurists include sariqa in its two degrees (theft and brigandage), zinā (illicit sex relations), urb (wine drinking) and, when placed in this context, irtidād (apostacy from Islam); in the second, some jurists place qaf (the unproved assertion of a chaste person's incontinence), although others put this in the third category; while in the latter all include homicide and wounding. In effect an offence in which the right of God (as the Head of the community) is held to be exclusive or preponderant more or less corresponds to the modern crime, and one in which a private individual's right is regarded as predominant to the modern tort, for the chief practical difference is that in the former neither the party primarily injured nor, indeed, the Court may drop the case or allow a settlement once it has been started, while in the latter the injured party may do either at his or her discretion.

Background and Purpose: Previously we proposed a simple classification system of the left atrial appendage (LAA) morphology, with low risk (LAA-L) defined as one lobe with an acute angle bend arising from the proximal or middle portion and high risk (LAA-H) defined as all other morphologies. We aim to determine the association between LAA morphology (using both classification systems), LAA flow velocity, and stroke rates. Methods: We analyzed consecutive patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) selected for ablation who underwent cardiac CT angiography and transesophageal echocardiogram. The primary correlates were LAA-H and non-chicken wing (NCW) LAA morphology. The primary outcome was the composite endpoint of history of ischemic stroke/TIA or non-lacunar infarct on neuroimaging. Adjusting for CHADS2Vasc score, multivariable models were used to determine associations between LAA morphology and composite outcomes. Results: We identified 379 patients; the primary endpoint occurred in 32/379 patients (8.4%). LAA-H (adjusted OR 3.63, 95% CI 1.44-9.14) and NCW LAA morphology (adjusted OR 2.52, 95% CI 1.15-5.53) were associated with the primary endpoint. LAA flow velocity ≤20 cm/s was more common in LAA-H vs. LAA-L (9.6% vs. 2.8%, p = 0.019), but not in NCW vs. CW LAA morphology (9.7% vs. 3.7%, p = 0.054). Conclusion: The LAA H/L morphological classification system may be superior to the current system in risk stratifying patients with AF and correlates better with impaired LAA flow dynamics.

Computational aesthetics is an area of research that attempts to develop computational methods that can perform human-like aesthetic judgements. Aesthetic judgements are often subjective, and as such, the development of computational models of aesthetics is highly challenging. This chapter summarizes the advancements in the area of computational aesthetics and how computational intelligence techniques are applied in art and aesthetics ranging from simple classification problems to more advanced problems such as automatic generation of art artefacts, stories, and simulations. The chapter concludes by summarizing major challenges that need to be addressed, and future directions that need to be undertaken in order to make significant advancements in the area of computational aesthetics and its applications.
