SUMMARYObjective: To make the cheiloscopic analysisin dental students of the city of Calithrough the impression of the lip furrowsin fine cardboard paper and digital photographyof the lips.Material and Methods: Observationalstudy of descriptive type that determinedthe pattern of lip furrows through Renaud’smethod in 47 dental students (24 womenand 23 men) of the University del Vallebelonging to predominantly Caucasoid raciallymixed ethnic group. The contingencycoefficient was used to associate the patternof lip furrows between gender, superior andinferior lips, right and left quadrants, andphotographs and impressions. A p<0.05was considered statistically significant.Results: The more frequent patterns of lipfurrows for men and women were the A andthe C. There were not associations betweensex and the patterns of lip furrows in thesuperior and inferior lips, or right and leftsides. There was a high correlation betweenthe digital photography and the labial paperimpression. It was not observed sexual dimorphism,but it was observed bilateralityin the same lip.Conclusions: The Renaud’s method demonstratedto be very limited since therewere found 19 identical cheiloscopic formulas,since the description of the patternof labial prints does not consider either thenumber or distribution of furrows withinthe lip. For that reason, and given to the lowcorrelation between men and women andaccording to the findings of this study, thepattern of labial furrows can be consideredonly and unique.Key words: Forensic Sciences, forensicodontology, cheiloscopy, lip prints.

Abstract By examining forms of social thought articulated by members of the University of Toronto between 1888 and 1910, this paper argues that the University's first response to urban poverty was shaped by a combination of assumptions derived from British idealism and empiricism. Although many women at Toronto were pursuing a new interest in professional social work, the University's dominant assumptions conveyed the view that social service was the particular responsibility of educated young men, who were believed to be uniquely suited by their gender and class to address the problems of the city. This study maintains that during this period the construction of gender roles in social service segregated the reform activities of men and women on campus, and, by 1910, had the effect of excluding female undergraduates from participating in the creation of University Settlement, the social agency officially sanctioned by their University.

Bodin arrived in Toulouse c.1550, a brief account of the economy, social composition, and governmental institutions of which opens the chapter. There follow comments on its cultural life and identification of its leading citizenry, with remarks on the treatment of alleged religious dissidents by the city itself, and especially on discordant intellectual influences at work in the University, most notably the Law Faculty and the modes of teaching there. The chapter’s second part reviews Bodin’s translation and edition of the Greek poem Cynegetica by Oppian ‘of Cilicia’, assessing the quality of his editorial work, the extent to which allegations of plagiarism levelled against him were valid, and the nature and merits of his translation. The third section recounts contemporary wrangling over educational provision in Toulouse and examines the Oratio in which Bodin argued the case for humanist-style educational provision by means of a reconstituted college there.

Health law and medical ethics are both integral parts of undergraduate medical curricula. The literature has addressed the importance of teaching law and ethics separately in medical school settings, yet there have been few descriptions of teaching law and ethics together in the same curriculum. A combined program in law and ethics required for first-year medical and dental students was developed and implemented by Professor Joseph (Jay) M. Healey, Jr., at the University of Connecticut Schools of Medicine and Dental Medicine from 1975 until his death in 1993. This Article describes the thirty-hour, interactive, case-based course he created. The course, Legal and Ethical Aspects of Medicine and Dental Medicine (LEA), has continued after Jay 's death, and is one of his many legacies to us. LEA consists of fifty-six actual and hypothetical cases written by Jay from which basic legal and ethical principles are extracted by participants and reinforced by instructors.

In this article, Silvija Jestrovic introduces the notion of spatial inter-performativity to discuss theatre's relationship to actual political and cultural spaces. Focusing on the Berlin of the 1920s in performances of Brecht and Piscator, then on a street procession of the Générik Vapeur troupe that took place in Belgrade in 1994, she examines how theatrical and political spaces refer to and transform one another. Silvija Jestrovic was a SSHRC postdoctoral fellow at York University in Toronto, and has recently taken up an appointment in the School of Theatre Studies at the University of Warwick. She is currently working on a book-length project entitled Avant-Garde and the City.
