First Time

The derived liverwort Leiolejeunea grandiflora was recollected at the type locality in Jamaica after more than 100 years. The characteristics of its oil bodies were described for the first time based on the new collections. Each leaf cell possesses 2-4(-6) rather small, subhomogeneous to very finely segmented, subglobose to ellipsoidal, colorless oil bodies. The plants were either dioicous or autoicous. DNA sequences of two chloroplast regions (trnL-trnF, rbcL) and the nuclear ribosomal ITS region were obtained for two accessions of Leiolejeunea to enable the inference of the phylogenetic relationships of these plants. Based on Bayesian inference of phylogeny as well as maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood analyses of a dataset including 87 representatives of Lejeuneaceae, Leiolejeunea was found as the putative sister to either Echinolejeuneinae or Cheilolejeuneinae. Thus, we propose the new monogeneric subtribe Leiolejeuneinae with relationships to Cheilolejeuneinae and Echinolejeuneinae. The analyses included also one accession of the generitype of Cheilolejeunea, C. decidua [= Cheilolejeunea adnata]. This species was found in a well supported sister relationship with Cystolejeunea. To avoid nomenclatural confusion, we propose a wide genus concept for Cheilolejeunea including Aureolejeunea, Cyrtolejeunea, Cystolejeunea, Evansiolejeunea, Leucolejeunea, and Omphalanthus.

Let${\cal A}$be a minor-closed class of labelled graphs, and let${\cal G}_{n}$be a random graph sampled uniformly from the set ofn-vertex graphs of${\cal A}$. Whennis large, what is the probability that${\cal G}_{n}$is connected? How many components does it have? How large is its biggest component? Thanks to the work of McDiarmid and his collaborators, these questions are now solved when all excluded minors are 2-connected.Using exact enumeration, we study a collection of classes${\cal A}$excluding non-2-connected minors, and show that their asymptotic behaviour may be rather different from the 2-connected case. This behaviour largely depends on the nature of the dominant singularity of the generating functionC(z) that counts connected graphs of${\cal A}$. We classify our examples accordingly, thus taking a first step towards a classification of minor-closed classes of graphs. Furthermore, we investigate a parameter that has not received any attention in this context yet: the size of the root component. It follows non-Gaussian limit laws (Beta and Gamma), and clearly merits a systematic investigation.

Minor Character

Previous attempts to identify any large proportion of the discrete sources discovered at meter wavelengths have met with small success. In the investigation briefly reported here an extensive search has been made on the original plates of the 48-inch Palomar—National Geographic Society Sky Survey, using the available published radio data, but more especially the as yet unpublished results of a survey between +50 and −10 degrees declination that has been made with the interferometer of the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory, Cambridge. This radio survey (3C) has been carried out at 159.5 Mc/s using the aerial array of the 2C survey [1] in modified form. An account of the observation and reduction of this recent survey is given by other speakers in the Symposium. The area of sky covered by the 3C survey, and the criteria for the selection and classification of the sources, are likely to undergo small extensions and modifications before the final catalog is ready for publication, but these modifications will be of a minor character and will not alter the general conclusions of the present paper.

The article is dedicated to the study of the peculiarities of juveniles and minors’ interrogation during investigative (search) actions. It is mentioned that the nature of the interrogation is that an investigator receives from the mentioned persons as a suspect, accused or witness information about the event of a criminal offense and other facts that are important for revealing the objective truth and compliance with all legal requirements. It is clarified exactly how the testimony of a minor and a juvenile should be written and to which person the investigator has the right to read the protocol at the end of the interrogation.The issue of who the summons should be written for in order to invite a minor and a juvenile for interrogation during the investigative (search) actions is covered.The personality of a teacher during the interrogation of a minor and the issue of what factors the investigator should rely on when involving the teacher in the interrogation are considered. It has been revealed that a kindergarten teacher has the right to be involved in the interrogation of a minor.The time of interrogation of minors of different age groups and juveniles, as well as the involvement of a legal representative, teacher, psychologist and psychiatrist in the interrogation are studied. The opinions of scholars regarding the optimal time of interrogation of these age groups are revealed.The problem issues of establishing and conducting interrogation of minors suffering from mental retardation or mental disorders and involving a doctor or psychiatrist during the interrogation is revealed. The classification of minors is considered.The moments at which the investigator should pay special attention to during preparing and conducting interrogation of minors and juveniles are analyzed.It is considered where it is better to interrogate minors and juveniles of different age groups in order to achieve the goal of interrogation and create comfortable conditions for the interrogated. It is clarified what tactics the investigator should use during the interrogation of minors.Some problems in the interrogation of minors in the course of investigative (search) actions are analyzed and conclusions on their solution are offered. Key words: interrogation, juveniles and minors’ interrogation, pre-trial investigation, juveniles and minors, investigator, time of interrogation.

Objective.To estimate incremental costs for patients with psoriasis/psoriatic arthritis (PsO/PsA) compared to population-based referents free from PsO/PsA and estimate costs attributable specifically to PsO/PsA.Methods.Patients were identified by International Classification of Diseases, 10th ed., codes for PsO/PsA using information from 1998 to 2007 in the Skåne Healthcare Register, covering healthcare use for the population of the Skåne region of Sweden. For each patient, 3 population-based referents were selected. Data were retrieved from Swedish registers on healthcare, drugs, and productivity loss. The human capital method was used to value productivity losses. Mean annual costs for 2008 to 2011 were assessed from a societal perspective.Results.We identified 15,283 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria for PsO [n = 12,562, 50% women, mean age (SD) 52 (21) yrs] or PsA [n = 2721, 56% women, mean age 54 (16) yrs] and included 45,849 referents. Mean annual cost per patient with PsO/PsA was 55% higher compared to referents: €10,500 vs €6700. The cost was 97% higher for PsA compared to PsO. Costs due to productivity losses represented the largest share of total costs, ranging from 52% for PsO to 60% for PsA. Biological drug costs represented 10% of the costs for PsA and 1.6% for PsO. The proportion of cost identified as attributable to PsO/PsA problems was greatest among the patients with PsA (drug costs 71% and healthcare costs 31%).Conclusion.Annual mean incremental societal cost per patient was highest for PsA, mainly because of productivity losses and biological treatment. A minor fraction of the costs were identified as attributable to PsO/PsA specifically, indicating an increased morbidity in these patients that needs to be further investigated.

Abstract. Currently, a more significant added value is created by intellectual rather than physical capital; yet, according to the current standards of accounting, only a minor segment of intellectual capital is presented in financial accounts of enterprises as it usually does not satisfy one of the criteria of property recognition in financial accounting, namely reliable valuation. As a result, there is an increasing demand for novel methods of valuation, enabling enterprises to establish reliably the value of intellectual capital or its specific segments of a given enterprise. A number of scholars have dealt with the methods of intellectual capital valuation. However, their works analyze and classify different methods of intellectual capital valuation, and different criteria of classification are employed; hence, there is no universally accepted opinion on the issue. That is why the aim of this research was to generalize a scheme of methods of intellectual capital valuation. The main methods applied in the present study are the synthesis and generalization of academic writings, including content analysis. The results of the research and its conclusions are based on the analysis of academic investigations conducted by various authors and the resulting publications. Results. The article generalizes the methods of intellectual capital valuation, suggested by a number of scholars, provides comparisons, reveals the multiplicity of the methods, and highlights the unlimited research of the academic field. Besides, the main classifications of methods of intellectual capital valuation are provided, and the applied criteria are defined. Conclusions. It was established that more than sixty different methods for the valuation of the intellectual capital of an enterprise are available. The results of the research show that these methods are classified according to the four following features. Correspondingly, a classification scheme of intellectual capital valuation methods has been developed. It has been established that most methods of intellectual capital valuation are based on scorecard, they assess specific components; of intellectual capital and in the process of valuation do not employ monetary units of measurement. Tis reveals a lack of the studies that focus on the financial aspect of intellectual capital valuation methods.Key words: intellectual capital, valuation, valuation methods, classification of methods

In this article I trace the historical development of Peirce’s semiotic rhetoric from its early appearance as a sub-discipline of symbolistic to its mature incarnation as one of the three main branches of the science of semiotic, and argue that this change in status is a symptom of Peirce’s broadening semiotic interest. The article shows how the evolution of Peirce’s theory of signs is linked to changes in his conception of logic. This modification is not merely a minor justification in his classification of the sciences; rather, it indicates a growing understanding of the interconnection between the different semiotic sub-disciplines. The scope and character of the mature discipline of rhetoric is further discussed in terms of a possible clash between rhetorical and methodological emphases, and a conciliatory strategy is suggested. The article concludes with some reflections on the relevance of Peircean rhetoric for future work in Peirce studies and semiotics.

Purpose To collect and describe data on the natural history of abnormal ultrasound (US) findings in hips of infants under six months of age to serve as a reference to the design of screening programmes and treatment algorithms in the care for children with hip dysplasia. Methods A search in PubMed of the terms “DDH” and “ultrasound” was done to find hips with abnormal US findings that were not treated. In cases of multiple periods of follow-up, the classification of every period was evaluated separately (individual hip follow-up periods). Results Data of 13 561 hips with 16 991 follow-up periods were collected and analyzed. Most quantifiable classifications and follow-up periods were according to Graf (14 876) and a minor number of the hips had follow-up periods with femoral head coverage (FHC) (2115). Normal development without treatment in the first six months was for Graf 2a between 89% and 98%, for Graf 2c between 80% and 100% and for clustered data Graf 2a to 2c between 80% and 97%. For Graf 3 hips more than 50% were reported to develop into normal hips without treatment. As for Graf 4 hips this percentage was reported below 50%. For children with an FHC less than 50%, normalization was reported between 78% and 100%. Conclusion The natural history of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) shows a benign course, especially in the well-centered hips. This outcome probably contributes to the fact that all studies on US screening of hips for detection of relevant DDH in order to improve outcomes of treatment are rated as substantially underpowered.
