Two new genera and species of sepioline squid (Cephalopoda: Sepiolidae) are described from Australian waters. Dextrasepiola taenia is characterised by having copulatory organs (i.e. the hectocotylised arm in the males and the bursa copulatrix in the females) in the right side of the body. All other known sepiolinids have copulatory organs in the left side of the body. Amutatiola macroventosa is characterised by the absence of a hectcotylised arm in mature males; instead, it possesses many enormously enlarged suckers on some of the arms of the males. The bursa copulatrix is in the left side of the female body, as in other known sepioline squids. The discovery of these two new taxa indicates that the present definition of Sepiolinae needs to be broadened to accommodate these two new genera.

This article deals with the authorship of Elísabet Kristín Jökulsdóttir, with special emphasis on the autofictional novel Heilræði lásasmiðsins (The locksmith’s advice), as well as other works that are based on autobiographical material. Elísabet writes a lot about the female body, its desires and erotic longings, as well as how helpless and weak it can be in particular situations. Her writing on the self, body and sexuality centres on the opposition between love and rejection. The desire for love is the driving force behind her writing and a deep and ruthless self-examination is at work in her fictional world. This desire is closely connected to the female body and sexual drive and Elísabet scrutinizes the nature of ‚femininity‘ and asks what it means to be ,a woman‘. Elísabet describes the female body in all its nakedness and vulnerability and shows how the body is the battleground where the main conflicts between self and others take place. Elísabet frequently describes two oppositional worlds in her works. There are conflicts between the magical world and reality, the father and the mother, the child and the grown-up, psychological difficulties and ‚sanity‘. a divided self is a persistent theme in her writings, as well as the struggle to remain on the right side of the „borders“, which are frequently mentioned. Elísabet’s writings reveal a struggle for marking a place for oneself in the world, to be heard and seen, to be able to createand recreate the self and through her writing, she copes with existence and difficulties that are rooted in childhood. Through writing, she finds a way out and the writing process serves as self-analysis and therapy. In her works Elísabet also creates her own personal mythology, which she connects with women’s struggle for self-realization, freedom and social space. The analysis of Elísabet’s works is inspired by the writings of feminist scholars, such as Simone de Beauvoir, Kate millett and Hélène Cixous.

The present study elucidates approaches developed in the juridical science and defining legal practice as a socially significant legal activity of the participants. The authors propose their own social-philosophical and legal justification of legal (administrative) practice as a means of transforming reality. To this end, legal practice is acting as a necessary social, organizational and legal means of improving human activity in the implementation of state and municipal administration. The authors propose a social and philosophical understanding of administrative (state-administrative) practice as the result of state-administrative activities arising in the development of administrative relations and entailing the achievement of socially useful goals of state (municipal) administration in the form of an administrative legal act or repeated organizational act of the body and (or) public administration official (usages of administrative practices). In the course of the research the authors give their own understanding of forms of objectification of administrative practice when state and municipal administration is being carried out. Such forms include empirical non-normative legal act and the usage of administrative practice. The result of the study of the nature and forms of objectification of administrative practice involves the definition of its importance for law enforcement practice, which is mandatory practice for the participants of State and municipal administration when they implement internal State and municipal administration. A mandatory nature of empirical administrative legal acts for administered entities within the framework of external state and municipal administration is mediated insofar as they become participants of administrative legal relations within the framework of which the provisions of these acts are implemented. In other cases, these acts are not mandatory for the administered entities. In addition, an administered entity is not deprived of the right to act in compliance with the provisions of the law or a bylaw rather than in compliance with the provisions of a nonnormative administrative legal act that formally is not a normative legal act, but in fact it of regulatory nature. The study defines the meaning of the usages of administrative activities as one of the forms of objectification of administrative practices.

Recent tanaidacean material collected from Antarctic waters, primarily during the ANDEEP expeditions of 2002 and 2005, includes a number of new taxa attributable to the families Nototanaidae and Typhlotanaidae sensu Sieg. Analysis of this material has exposed a problem with the recent contention of the two families, and has revealed consistent morphological trends which support the distinction of these two families. In the present paper, examination of both museum specimens and newly-collected material, has allowed a re-analysis based on a series of detailed morphological observations, resulting in a new definition of the families Typhlotanaidae Sieg, 1984 with the establishment of five new genera (Hamatipeda n. gen., Larsenotanais n. gen., Pulcherella n. gen., Torquella n. gen., Typhlamia n. gen.), a the description of thirteen new species, the redescription of fifteen species, and the construction of keys for the determination of typhlotanaid genera and of the species of three newly-erected genera.

The development of biotechnology and life sciences has led to a clash between the endeavor for research and human dignity. Issues have been raised about biotechnological practices, not only for treatment but also for research. Genetic technology refers to the methods that make enable the interference in the structure of the genes that are found in the cell nucleus. The body of all this information is the individual's genome. By mapping the genome, it is now possible to diagnose hereditary diseases and abnormalities that humans might develop after their birth and during their lifetime. Such techniques and investigations lead not only to negative eugenics by the fetus' exclusion due to an abnormality, but to a positive one as well because perfect humans are chosen for implantation. Law, therefore, faces life as damage. Such cases have led to the enactment of a law which stipulates that life deserves/is worth per se, and the recognition of the individual's right not to be born with the value of individual is incompatible. On the contrary, it is argued that neither can the individual submit to a transcendent value of the human genus nor can the individual right to resort to Justice for a health problem that makes life difficult be annulled. Nevertheless, it appears that such a process leads to the hetero-definition of the human species and inevitably to the abasement of human dignity, since the principle of dissimilarity is abolished, and healthy patterns are created. Typical is the case of Recommendation 932 of the Council of Europe, which states that as a person has the right to life and human dignity, so one has the right to unchangeable hereditary features.

Orthopteroid Insects

The tribal status of Phlugidini Eichler, 1938, is confirmed. A new definition of the tribe is suggested and the taxonomic relationships among genera related to the tribe are discussed. Two new genera, nine new species and one new combination are described from East Africa, New Guinea, Northern Australia, Sulawesi and Borneo. These new taxa are Phlugidia africana Kevan, Tenuiphlugis Kevan, Tenuiphlugis gressitti (Chopard, 19691, comb. nov., T. maai Jin, T. brittoni Jin, T. malkini Jin, Phlugis sulawesi Jin, P. borneoensis Jin, P. burgersi Jin, P. novaeguineaensis Jin, P. rapax Jin and P. philippina Jin.*There is more than one system dealing with the higher classification of orthopteroid insects (for detail, see Jago 1977; Kevan 1977; Ragge 1977; Rentz 1977; Vickery 1977). Among them, Rentz (1979), Kevan (1982) and Vickery and Kevan (1986) are the major recent representatives of different opinions. The designation of the Phlugidini in this paper follows the system of Vickery and Kevan (1986).

In 1990, The American College of Rheumatology laid out several sets of criteria for the diagnosis of fibromyalgia syndrome (FM). The first criterion required patients to report at least 3 months of widespread pain. Pain was considered widespread if it was present in four quadrants of the body—the right and left side as well as above and below the waist. Axial skeleton pain is also very commonly present in FM and is often considered a fifth “quadrant.” The second diagnostic criterion was widespread pain in response to a tender point examination. In this assessment the clinician presses on 18 specific areas with enough pressure to blanche his fingertip (∼4 kg). The patient's report of pain and not pressure on such testing in at least 11 of the tender points completes the requirements for the diagnosis of FM (Slide 1). Although these criteria were established to standardize patients for research studies, many physicians follow them for diagnostic purposes as well. However, these criteria must be viewed in the same context as the definition of hypertension (ie, blood pressures ≥140/90). Patients who do not quite attain these criteria should still be considered to have probable hypertension; and the same applies to FM. A patient who has three-quadrant pain and 9 tender points does not meet the criteria for FM, but the therapeutic approach to this patient is the same as it is for the patient with definitive FM.

Nelson and Morrison (2005 , study 3) reported that men who feel hungry preferred heavier women. The present study replicates these results by using real photographs of women and examines the mediation effect of hunger scores. Men were solicited while entering or leaving a restaurant and asked to report their hunger on a 10-point scale. Afterwards, they were presented with three photographs of a woman in a bikini: One with a slim body type, one with a slender body type, and one with a slightly chubby body. The participants were asked to indicate their preference. Results showed that the participants entering the restaurant preferred the chubby body type more while satiated men preferred the thinner or slender body types. It was also found that the relation between experimental conditions and the choices of the body type was mediated by men’s hunger scores.

Academic Debate

Over the past thirty years, academic debate over pornography in the discourses of feminism and cultural studies has foundered on questions of the performative and of the word's definition. In the polylogue of Droit de regards, pornography is defined as la mise en vente that is taking place in the act of exegesis in progress. (Wills's idiomatic English translation includes an ‘it’ that is absent in the French original). The definition in Droit de regards alludes to the word's etymology (writing by or about prostitutes) but leaves the referent of the ‘sale’ suspended. Pornography as la mise en vente boldly restates the necessary iterability of the sign and anticipates two of Derrida's late arguments: that there is no ‘the’ body and that performatives may be powerless. Deriving a definition of pornography from a truncated etymology exemplifies the prosthesis of origin and challenges other critical discourses to explain how pornography can be understood as anything more than ‘putting (it) up for sale’.

Rape Narratives

The representation of rape continues to be one of the most highly charged issues in contemporary cinema, and whilst many discussions of this topic focus on Hollywood movies, sexual violation is also a pervasive topic in British cinema. This article examines the portrayal of a female's rape in the British feature My Brother Tom (2001), a powerful and often troubling text in which the sexual violation of the teenage female protagonist functions as a catalyst for the events that comprise the plot, as is often the case in rape narratives. The article provides an overview of some of the key feminist academic discussions and debates that cinematic depictions of rape have prompted, before closely analysing My Brother Tom's rape scene in relation to such discourses. The article argues that the rape scene is neither explicit nor sensationalised, and that by having the camera focus on Jessica's bewildered reactions, it positions the audience with her, and powerfully but discreetly portrays the grave nature of sexual abuse. The article then moves on to examine the portrayal of sexual violation in My Brother Tom as a whole, considering the cultural inscriptions etched on the female body within its account of rape, before concluding with a discussion of the film's depiction of Jessica's ensuing methods of bodily self-inscription as she attempts to disassociate her body from its sexual violation.

The Right

The relevance of the interpretation of constitutional and legal guarantees of the right to vote is mediated by isolated scientific research in this area, as well as the lack of a universal approach to legal guarantees. In this regard, the purpose of the article is to argue and disclose the author’s definitive aspect of the claimed guarantees. In the work, the author named and characterized the normative (based exclusively on legal means) with the perspective of a branch of legal and technical; regulatory and institutional (combines the formal aspect with the activities of authorized entities) and associated legal (including a set of legal and other aspects) approaches to the definition of legal guarantees. Based on the second approach, as well as combining the guarantees of the right to vote directly guarantees of the subjective right itself and guarantees of its implementation, the author offers a definition of constitutional and legal guarantees of the right to vote.
