Iniuria post mortem testatoris in Roman law of the classical period in the light of the concept of iniuria indirectaThe aim of the article is to analyse regulations concerning injury to personality associated with deeds committed directly against acorpse, funeral rites or atestator’s reputation. The author’s reflections focus on the classification of these infringements as indirect injury to the testator’s reputation as proposed in the doctrine. Apart from undeniable shared features of iniuria post mortem testatoris and other cases of iniuria indirecta, we can point to significant differences stemming primarily from alack of possibility — even if only potential — of direct iniuria if adeed is committed against a corpse or the testator’s reputation. This feature, in turn, seems to be present in all other cases classified as indirect iniuria. It should also be stressed that in the case of iniuria post mortem testatoris it is impossible to apply any of the criteria indicated as the basis for regarding specific behaviour as aslight to the reputation not only directly of the injured party but also other individuals whose reputation is injured only indirectly as aresult of the perpetrator’s actions.Iniuria post mortem testatoris nach römischem Recht der klassischen Periode im Hinblick auf das Konzept der iniuria indirectaIn dem Artikel wurden Textfragmente analysiert, die die Verletzung der Persönlichkeit aufgrund der Handlungen betreffen, die sich direkt gegen den Leichnam, die Trauerfeierlichkeiten oder den Ruf des Nachlassgebers richten. Die in der Doktrin vorgeschlagene Qualifikation, derartige Verletzungen für eine indirekte Verletzung des guten Rufs des Nachlassgebers zu halten, stellt den Kern der Überlegungen dar. Außer den gemeinsamen Merkmalen der iniuria post mortem testatoris und der anderen Fälle der iniuria indirecta, können weitgehende Unterschiede genannt werden, die sich vor allem daraus ergeben, dass es keine, auch eine potentielle Möglichkeit einer direkten iniuria in Bezug auf den Leichnam oder den guten Ruf des Nachlassgebers gibt. Und dieses Merkmal wiederum scheint in sämtlichen anderen Fällen aufzutreten, die als indirekte iniuria gelten. Hervorzuheben ist auch, dass kein der Kriterien, die als Grundlage gelten, ein bestimmtes Verhalten für ein den guten Ruf nicht nur des direkt Benachteiligten verletzendes zu erklären, aber auch einer anderen Person, deren Reputation infolge der Handlungen des Täters lediglich indirekt verletzt wird, im Falle einer iniuria post mortem testatoris Anwendung findet.

Methods of estimating tenderness of beef muscle were evaluated on 282 steer and heifer carcasses. pH values (1 h and 2 h post-mortem) did not relate to shear values or panel tenderness scores on the cooked longissimus dorsi, evaluated after 6 days’ aging. Values obtained with the Armour tenderometer on the raw rib-eye were not useful predictors of tenderness of the cooked muscle (r2 < 6%). The Ottawa Texture Measuring System extrusion cell did not relate texture properties of the raw muscle to tenderness of the cooked meat. Marbling score explained 14% of the variance in panel tenderness scores. No satisfactory classification of carcasses into tenderness desirability groups was achieved with any of the methods examined.

ABSTRACT: Pork may be classified into quality categories according to its color, texture and exudation, though no international consensus criterion has been reached yet. Thus, the aim of the present paper was to examine the relation between important meat quality traits, evaluating pork quality classification of a same data by different criteria proposed in the literature. In 60 pork loins (Longissimus thoracis muscle), initial pH (pH45min) and R-value were evaluated after 45min post mortem between the 9th and 10th ribs, and ultimate pH (pH24h), objective color and water-holding capacity were evaluated 24h post mortem in two 2.54cm thick steaks cut between the 9th and 11th ribs to be classified into PSE (pale, soft and exudative), RSE (reddish-pink, soft and exudative), RFN (reddish-pink, firm and non-exudative) or DFD (dark, firm and dry) quality. Frequency distributions of quality categories differed (P<0.001) among criteria, which resulted in large variations: 3 to 68% PSE; 0 to 73% RSE; 5 to 68% RFN; 0 to 22% DFD; and 0 to 33% unclassified samples. A same sample may be classified into different quality categories according to the criterion utilized, which results in large variations in frequency distributions and also in quality attributes. Therefore, the classification of pork quality depends on the adopted criterion, which indicated the need for international standardization, so that pork quality can be determined efficiently and effectively.

Since December 2019, a new form of coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, has spread from China to the whole word, raising concerns regarding Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) endangering public health and life. Over 1.5 million deaths related with COVID-19 have been recorded worldwide, with wide variations among countries affected by the pandemic and continuously growing numbers. The aim of this paper was to provide an overview of the literature cases of deaths involving COVID-19 and to evaluate the application of the COVID-19 Significance Score (CSS) in the classification of SARS CoV-2-related fatalities, comparing it with the Hamburg rating scale. The results obtained allowed us to highlight that CSS used after a complete accurate post-mortem examination, coupled to the retrieval of in vivo data, post-mortem radiology, histology and toxicology, as well as to additional required analyses (e.g., electronic microscopy) is a useful and concise tool in the assessment of the cause of death and the role played by this virus. A shared use of this scale might hopefully lower the inhomogeneities in forensic evaluation of SARS CoV-2-related fatalities.

Abstract Objective: 1) Review ante- and post-mortem diagnoses and assign a Goldman error classification. 2) Establish autopsy rates. Design: A retrospective analysis of autopsies performed on patients who died in Paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) between November 13th 2012 and October 31st 2018. We reviewed medical and autopsy data of all patients and Goldman classification of discrepancy between ante- and post-mortem diagnoses was assigned. Setting: Tertiary PICU. Patients: All patients that died in PICU within the designated timeframe. Interventions: Goldman error classification assignment. Measurements and main results: 396 deaths occurred in PICU from 8,329 (4.75%) admissions. 99 (25%) had an autopsy, 75 required by the coroner. All were included in the study. Fifty-three were male and 46 females. Fifty-three patients were transfers from external hospitals, 46 from our centre. Forty-one were neonates, 32 were <1 year of age, and 26 were >1 year of age. Median length of stay was 3 days. Eighteen were post cardiac surgery, and three post cardiac catheter procedure. Major diagnostic errors (Class I/II) were identified in 14 (14.1%), 2 (2%) Class I, and 12 (12.1%) were Class II errors. Class III and IV errors occurred in 28 (28.2%) patients. Complete concordance (Class V) occurred in 57 (57.5%) cases. Conclusion: The autopsy rate and the diagnostic discrepancy rate within our PICU is comparable to those previously reported. Our findings show the continuing value of autopsy in determining cause of death and providing greater diagnostic clarity. Given their value, post-mortem examinations, where indicated, should be considered part of a physician’s duty of care to families and future patients.

We have investigated the spectrograms (dispersion: 8Å/mm) in the photographic infrared region fromλ7500 toλ9000 of some carbon stars obtained by the coudé spectrograph of the 74-inch reflector attached to the Okayama Astrophysical Observatory. The names of the stars investigated are listed in Table 1.
