A man of considerable complexity, Edward Angle combined a fierce determination to achieve perfection with an uncompromising demand that all those around him should also be imbued with the same commitment. It was a combination that enabled Angle to become an icon in Dentistry, for he is widely regarded as the father of modern Orthodontics and his concepts and appliances still provide the foundation for much of the discipline today. He was born in Herrick, Pennsylvania on June 1st 1855. Abandoning the option to continue the family tradition of farming, the young Angle apprenticed himself to a dentist, then enrolled as a student in the Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery. He developed an abiding interest in the challenges of malocclusion and became known for his innovative views on corrective treatment. Appointed as teacher in Orthodontics at St Louis and Washington Universities where the subject was a minor component of the Department of Prosthetics, he became convinced that the discipline warranted separate educational facilities. That became a lifelong objective and indeed resulted in the first institution devoted exclusively to the teaching of Orthodontics... recognised by the State of California in 1924 and designated as The Edward H Angle College of Orthodontia.

We analyze normative documents of the Russian Federation, regulating the protection of the rights and interests of a minor, allowed to form some problems of his proper legal protection. In particular, we are talking about the presence of shortcomings inherent in the domestic criminal legislation, which, of course, generates further problems of law enforcement. Attention is focused on some, in our opinion, significant shortcomings, indicating the inconsistency of the essence and content of the normative provisions of modern directions of criminal law policy in terms of protection of minors from the most common socially dangerous attacks at the present time. Special attention is paid to the effectiveness of national mechanisms to ensure and protect the rights and interests of children through the implementation of national programs and projects. The plan of the main activities up to 2020, carried out within the framework of the Decade of childhood, presented for analysis, focuses on the neutralization of social and domestic problems. The complex of diverse measures has been developed and approved taking into account modern requirements to the process of full socialization of a teenager in the family, society and the state. However, against the background of the progressing unfavorable trends in the state program, the need to focus on the mechanism of prevention and combating criminal threats, the victims of which are children, is completely ignored. In this connection, it is concluded that it is necessary to improve the legislation acting as the basis of social and criminal policy for the protection of children.

In her essay “The Decline of the Nation-State and the End of the Rights of Man,” Hannah Arendt famously wrote, “Nobody had been aware that mankind, for so long a time considered under the image of a family of nations, had reached the state where whoever was thrown out of one of these tightly organized closed communities found himself thrown out of the family of nations altogether.” Surveying the aftermath of the world wars, the same aftermath that eventually led to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Arendt found that a person had to be emplaced—the subject of a political space—in the state-oriented order of geopolitics to be cognizable as a subject of human rights. The stateless, being displaced, were excluded from such a regime of rights and from the global political community. Bare humanity, Arendt argued, was an insufficiently binding political identity. As she wrote in her arresting language, “The world found nothing sacred in the abstract nakedness of being human.”

Diverse silicified trilobite faunas from the lower Wenlock to lower Ludlow of the Cape Phillips Formation, central Canadian Arctic, have been the subject of works by Perry and Chatterton (1977), Chatterton and Perry (1979), Adrain (1994), and Adrain and Edgecombe (1995, and in press). The present work describes a very minor component of these faunas, the family Phacopidae, which is nevertheless of considerable biogeographic interest.

A novel actinomycete, strain KZ0017T, was isolated from a forest soil collected in Ohnuma, Fukushima, Japan. Strain KZ0017T formed spore chains borne on top of short sporophores arising from vegetative hyphae. Spores were non-motile and cylindrical with smooth surfaces. Strain KZ0017T contained meso-diaminopimelic (A2pm) acid, 3-OH A2pm, d-glutamic acid, glycine and l-alanine in the cell-wall peptidoglycan, and xylose, mannose, galactose, rhamnose and ribose in cell-wall hydrolysates. The acyl type of the cell-wall polysaccharides was glycolyl. The predominant menaquinones were MK-10(H4) and MK-10(H6); MK-10(H8) was a minor component. The polar lipids contained diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, hydroxyphosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol and several unknown lipids and glycolipids. The major fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0, 10-methyl-C17 : 0 and iso-C17 : 1ω9c. The DNA G+C content was 70.7 mol%. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of the isolate formed a monophyletic cluster with the single member of the genus Longispora in the family Micromonosporaceae. On the basis of morphological, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic properties, strain KZ0017T represents a novel species of the genus Longispora, for which the name Longispora fulva sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is KZ0017T ( = NBRC 105670T = DSM 45356T).

More than a decade has passed since the landmark High Court decision in Marion’s Case,1 where the Court authorised the sterilisation of a young woman who suffered from a disability. Recently, the principles established in that case were applied by the Family Court in a different context – for the provision of hormonal treatment for a 13 year old child,2 some aspects of which are irreversible. Previously, the Family Court had authorised gender reassignment surgery for a child suffering from a physical, congenital condition,3 but notably in Re Alex, the subject child suffered no identified physical condition indicating treatment, but from an identified psychological condition, gender identity dysphoria. This article considers the issues raised by recent applications of the principles relating to the capacity of children to consent to medical treatment, including the decision in Re Alex and the application of those principles to transgender and intersex children. While not all children or adults who identify as transgender or intersex choose the long and difficult path of gender reassignment, some will choose surgical gender reassignment or hormonal treatment at some stage of their lives. In cases where it is proposed that a minor undergo such treatment, the application of the principles of child consent poses particular difficulties.

The pre-European settlement state of Lake Alexandrina, a lake system at the mouth of the River Murray has been the subject of some debate. Fluin et al. (2007) concluded on the basis of diatom evidence from sediment cores that ‘Marine water indicators were never dominant in Lake Alexandrina’. In a report to the South Australian Government, Fluin et al. (2009) stated, consistent with the earlier research, that ‘There is no evidence in the 7000 year record of substantial marine incursions into Lake Alexandrina’. Gell (2020) has argued both that Fluin et al. (2009) is in error and claims that it, and Sim and Muller’s (2004) book that describes early European settler accounts of the lake being fresh, underpin water provisions for Lake Alexandrina under the Murray–Darling Basin Plan. This response demonstrates that all these claims are untrue. Of the three diatom species suggested by Gell (2020) to be indicators of marine waters, Thalassiosira lacustris grows in the freshwater River Murray today, Cyclotella striata was never more than a minor component of the diatom flora and Paralia sulcata has not been detected in the lake in over 3000 years. Water provisions for Lake Alexandrina under The Basin Plan are founded on contemporary environmental water requirements and achievement of agreed socio-ecological-economic objectives, rather than the history of the lake. Nevertheless, the aim to maintain the lake as a freshwater ecosystem under The Murray–Darling Basin Plan is consistent with its history.

Otto Struve was born on 12 August 1897 in Kharkov, Russia, where his father Ludwig Struve was Professor of Astronomy. He came from a distinguished family of astronomers. His great-grandfather, Wilhelm Struve, in 1839 founded the Pulkovo Observatory, the senior among the Russian observatories, and directed it for nineteen years. Wilhelm’s son, who was also an Otto Struve, followed his father as director of the Pulkovo Observatory after an interval of a few years (from 1862 to 1889). The eldest son of this earlier Otto was Hermann Struve, who was director of the Königsberg Observatory from 1895 to 1904, and of the Berlin Observatory from 1904 until his death in 1920. He organized the removal of the Observatory to a new site at Babelsberg; as the Observatory was largely furnished with new instruments he may fairly be said to have founded the Berlin-Babelsberg Observatory. The second son of Otto was Ludwig, the father of the Otto who is the subject of the present note. Otto Struve the second was to maintain the family tradition by himself becoming the founder of an observatory and the director of more than one.

The effervescence of these topics is done by reason of the adoption, in recent times, public policies of human dignity and social inclusion for people with disabilities or reduced mobility. That way, the present work has as its proposal to analyze, through images that circulated circulating in the media, the subject institution modes disabled, specifically the wheelchair and the deaf, through policies that are conspicuous by their dignity and inclusion of disabled person, proposed by the State. The theoretical analysis of the Discourse of materialistic line, initiated by Michel Pêcheux, in France, and expanded by Eni Orlandi, in Brazil. For analysis, we intend to show that the situation of dignity and inclusion of the handicapped guy going on before by a general education of society – the family, school and social media – it's task and responsibility of the State, since the operation of discourses and social practices determines, in the materials analyzed, the processes of inclusion and exclusion of disabled people, which, in their different ways to relate with the space and society, require not only of laws, but of social education for the full exercise of their dignity and their inclusion.
