The O.J. Inquisition: A United States Encounter With Continental Criminal Justice
No full textOctober 3, 1995 marked the end of the O.J. Simpson double murder trial, which lasted 474 days and was billed the trial of the century. After less than four hours of deliberation, the jury acquitted Mr. Simpson of all charges. The following article is a dramatization of how a case similar to the Simpson trial might be handled by a civil-law European criminal justice system.
Utilizing an unusual format, Professor Myron Moskovitz examines and illustrates the differences between the United States and civil-law European criminal justice systems. The author uses a play script inspired by the events in the trial of O.J. Simpson, set before a European Court. The script consists of fictitious conversations among a fictitious prosecutor, defense attorney, officers of a mock European Court, and two professors. The dialogue illustrates the differences between the two legal systems and the historical and sociological premises that inform them

Family profile : nonproductive substance abusing males
No full textThis thesis makes observations regarding the possibility of a family profile of nonproductive substance abusing males. A review is made of the literature on substance abuse and the etiological factors involving families of substance abusers. This thesis attempted to examine the question of why some substance abusers are more able than others to maintain a productive role in society. The author administered a questionnaire to clients in a residential center for unemployed substance abusing males, The Salvation Army. Correlations between family of origin dysfunction, interpersonal relationship involvement, number of years using, and number of months unemployed were investigated without finding a significant relationship. T tests indicated a significant difference in the interpersonal relationship involvement of alcoholics and polydrug users as well as between whites and nonwhites in this same area. The results were analyzed and observations were made. No conclusions were drawn, although, implications for further study were indicated.California State University, Northridge.

Validation of a cloud-based tele-stroke system reliability in determining national institutes of health stroke scale scores for acute ischemic stroke screening in the emergency department
No full textRemote diagnosis; Tele-strokeDiagnóstico remoto; Tele-ictusDiagnòstic remot; Tele-ictusBackground and purpose: The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) is the most recommended tool for objectively quantifying the impairment caused by a suspected stroke. Nevertheless, it is mainly used by trained neurologists in the emergency department (ED). To bring forward the NIHSS to the pre-hospital setting, a smartphone-based Telestroke system was developed. It captures the full NIHSS by video, transmits it off-line, and enables assessment by a distant stroke physician. We aimed to compare the reliability of an NIHSS score determined by a neurologist from afar, using the platform with a standard NIHSS assessment performed in the emergency departments.
Methods: A multi-center prospective study was conducted in two centers (Vall d'Hebron, Barcelona, and Rambam, Israel). Patients admitted to the ED with suspected stroke had a neurological exam based on the NIHSS, while being recorded by the system. A skilled neurologist rated the NIHSS according to the videos offline. The results were compared with the NIHSS score given by a neurologist at the bedside.
Results: A total of 95 patients with suspected stroke were included. The overall intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.936 (0.99 in VdH and 0.84 in Rambam), indicating excellent and good reliability, respectively.
Conclusion: Remote stroke assessment based on the NIHSS, using videos segments collected by a dedicated platform, installed on a standard smartphone, is a reliable measurement as compared with the bedside evaluation.The authors declare that this study received funding from CVAID Company.

Well-behaved equals well-adjusted : an analysis of childrens' behavior
No full textThe purpose of this study was to determine whether there existed covariant characteristics among children labeled by society as well-behaved. Findings in the literature indicated unanimous support in describing the well-behaved child as quiet and conforming. There existed a small percentage of quiet and conforming children who were also described as shy. The study was designed to determine if these minority groups of shy children, often labeled by their teachers well-behaved, were also well-adjusted. A middle class pre-school population of 63 children, aged 2½-6 years, was used. Burke's Behavior Rating Scale was implemented, using coded names to insure the privacy of each subject. After results were obtained from the rating scale, teachers were asked to rate each child in two ways: l) conforming or non-conforming; and 2) shy or non-shy. Shyness was defined as an extreme measure of quietness. Results of the three scales were compared to determine if there existed a significant relationship between the shy child and his adjustment. It was concluded that there was a definite negative relationship between the described well-behaved shy child and his adjustment. Evidence emerged which merits further research. Age of the population studied was a major factor. Even though the child to whom the author addressed herself was in a minority (approximately 11.11% in this study), he has been overlooked.California State University, Northridge.
