Text in Afrikaans / Infringement, by the executive, of the right to privacy of the individual is an everyday occurrence. Section 14 of the Constitution, Act 108 of 1996 protects the right to privacy. The Criminal Procedure Act, Act 51 of 1977 authorises the police service, to search for and seize articles, to enter premises, ascertain bodily features of accused and to employ traps and undercover operations. On the one hand the Criminal Procedure Act authorises the police to infringe the privacy of the individual but on the other hand it guarantees the privacy of the individual. The provisions of the Criminal Procedure Act are qualified by the Constitution, specifically by section 36 and 35(5). The authorisation of a police officer should be obtained before a person could be arrested without a warrant, which should, in any event, be the last resort. The written permission of an officer must be obtained prior to the making of an application for a warrant to a magistrate. A police officer should be prohibited from issuing a search warrant, as the general perception of the public is that members of the police may not be sufficiently independent. The exercising of magistrates' discretion regarding the decision as to whether a search warrant should be issued or not should be extended. A search warrant should comply with strict requirements as to who may execute the warrant, when, how and when the warrant will become invalid. Search and seizure without a warrant should not be allowed at all, except in circumstances where there is an immediate threat or danger to a person, property or the public safety. In cases of urgency, it should be made possible to obtain the telephonic permission from a magistrate to search property. Where necessary to ascertain the bodily features of an accused through surgery, a compulsory application in terms of section 37(3) should be made to the court for authorisation, irrespective of whether the accused consents to the surgery or not. More importance should be attached to the rights of the individual and the powers of the executive should be limited. / Jurisprudence / LL.D

abstract: Approximately 1% of the world population suffers from epilepsy. Continuous long-term electroencephalographic (EEG) monitoring is the gold-standard for recording epileptic seizures and assisting in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with epilepsy. However, this process still requires that seizures are visually detected and marked by experienced and trained electroencephalographers. The motivation for the development of an automated seizure detection algorithm in this research was to assist physicians in such a laborious, time consuming and expensive task. Seizures in the EEG vary in duration (seconds to minutes), morphology and severity (clinical to subclinical, occurrence rate) within the same patient and across patients. The task of seizure detection is also made difficult due to the presence of movement and other recording artifacts. An early approach towards the development of automated seizure detection algorithms utilizing both EEG changes and clinical manifestations resulted to a sensitivity of 70-80% and 1 false detection per hour. Approaches based on artificial neural networks have improved the detection performance at the cost of algorithm's training. Measures of nonlinear dynamics, such as Lyapunov exponents, have been applied successfully to seizure prediction. Within the framework of this MS research, a seizure detection algorithm based on measures of linear and nonlinear dynamics, i.e., the adaptive short-term maximum Lyapunov exponent (ASTLmax) and the adaptive Teager energy (ATE) was developed and tested. The algorithm was tested on long-term (0.5-11.7 days) continuous EEG recordings from five patients (3 with intracranial and 2 with scalp EEG) and a total of 56 seizures, producing a mean sensitivity of 93% and mean specificity of 0.048 false positives per hour. The developed seizure detection algorithm is data-adaptive, training-free and patient-independent. It is expected that this algorithm will assist physicians in reducing the time spent on detecting seizures, lead to faster and more accurate diagnosis, better evaluation of treatment, and possibly to better treatments if it is incorporated on-line and real-time with advanced neuromodulation therapies for epilepsy. / Dissertation/Thesis / M.S.

This article analyzes two central points, which are the expropriation from a criticism on what the new Expropiation Law indicates; and from that law, the author will refer about the role of registration qualification and how it has developed in practice. Finally, the author concludes three important issues that they have been derived from the analysis of the law, and presents the conclusions through a critique to the issue of property in our country. / El presente artículo realiza un análisis sobre dos puntos centrales, que son la expropiación a partir de una crítica a lo que señala la nueva Ley de Expropiaciones; y a partir de dicha Ley el autor también se referirá sobre la función de calificación registral y cómo esta se ha desarrollado en la práctica. Finalmente, el autor concluye tres temas importantes derivados del análisis a dicha norma, y presenta las conclusiones haciendo una crítica al tema de la propiedad en nuestra en país.

In my thesis I concentrated on an analysis of biological samples of 60 dogs, which manifested epilepsy. The aim was to find out the relation between genotype of the selected locus and the occurrence of epilepsy. Based on the results of the analysis, I assessed, whether there is a demonstrable relation between the occurrence of epilepsy and genotype in a particular locus. According to the results, no influence of genotype on the age of first epileptic seizure was proved.

Objetivos: Determinar a frequência de crises epilépticas e a prevalência de epilepsia em crianças que sofreram um acidente vascular cerebral (AVC), assim como verificar os fatores de risco associados com o desenvolvimento de epilepsia pós-AVC na infância. Método: Foi realizado um estudo de coorte retrospectivo com pacientes de 0 a 18 anos com diagnóstico de AVC, em acompanhamento no Ambulatório de Doenças Cerebrovasculares da Infância do Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, entre Janeiro e Julho de 2010, através da revisão dos prontuários. Foram coletados dados demográficos e relativos ao AVC e às manifestações epilépticas. Foi usado o teste Exato de Fisher para avaliar a associação entre os possíveis fatores de risco e o desfecho (epilepsia), e um modelo de regressão de Poisson para estimar o risco, ajustando para possíveis fatores de confusão. Resultados: Sessenta e cinco crianças de 0 a 18 anos foram incluídas. Quarenta e dois pacientes (64,6%) apresentaram crises epilépticas (35 na fase precoce e 7 na tardia), tendo a maioria (78,5%) ocorrido nas primeiras 24 horas. Dezenove crianças (29,2%) desenvolveram epilepsia pós-AVC, havendo associação significativa com início tardio das crises (p=0,034) e com envolvimento cortical (p = 0,01). Após ajuste pela regressão múltipla de Poisson, o risco de apresentar epilepsia foi de 2,4 em crianças com história de crises tardias (95% IC: 1,4-3,9; p=0,001) e de 3,7 em crianças com acometimento cortical (95% IC: 1,4-9,7; p=0,009). Conclusões: As crises epilépticas precoces foram um achado comum nesse grupo de crianças com história de AVC e ocorreram mais frequentemente nas primeiras 24 horas do ictus. Nossos achados sugerem que o início tardio das crises epilépticas após o AVC e o acometimento cortical são fatores de risco independentes para o desenvolvimento de epilepsia pós-AVC em crianças. / Purpose: To determine the frequency of post-stroke epileptic seizures and the prevalence of post-stroke epilepsy in children and ascertain which risk factors are associated with the development of post-stroke epilepsy in this population. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of patients between the ages of 0 and 18 years who had a diagnosis of stroke. We conducted a chart review of all children who received follow-up at the Pediatric Cerebrovascular Disease Clinic at Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre between January and July 2010. The study variables included epidemiological data, stroke and seizure-related data. Fisher’s exact test was used to measure the association between potential risk factors and the outcome of interest (epilepsy), and a Poisson regression model was constructed to estimate risk while adjusting for potential confounders. Results: Sixty-five children aged between 0-18 were included. Forty-two patients (64.6%) had post-stroke seizures (35 early, 7 late-onset), with most (78.5%) occurring in the first 24 hours. Nineteen children (29.2%) developed post-stroke epilepsy, which was significantly more common among patients with late-onset seizures (P = 0.034) and with cortical involvement (P = 0.01). After Poisson regression, the relative risk of epilepsy was calculated as 2.4 in children with late-onset post-stroke seizures (95%CI, 1.4–3.9; P = 0.001) and 3.7 in children with cortical involvement (95%CI, 1.4–9.7; P = 0.009). Conclusions: Early post-stroke seizures were a common finding in this group of children with a history of stroke and occurred most frequently within 24 hours of stroke onset. Our findings also suggest that late-onset post-stroke seizures and cortical involvement are independent risk factors for development of post-stroke epilepsy in children.

Base teórica: A epilepsia é uma doença neurológica crônica, que causa grande impacto na qualidade de vida dos pacientes afetados. Isto se deve a fatores psicossociais e outros associados à própria epilepsia, além dos efeitos adversos das medicações utilizadas no tratamento. Estima-se que o controle satisfatório das crises seja alcançado em apenas uma parte dos pacientes e, muitas vezes, às custas de efeitos adversos significativos, principalmente nos pacientes com epilepsia refratária. Devido à falta de padronização na definição de epilepsia refratária, que dificulta a sua identificação e o cuidado dos pacientes, em 2010 a ILAE (International League Against Epilepsy) propôs uma classificação para identificar pacientes controlado e não controlados e às custas de efeitos adversos ou não. Objetivo: O presente trabalho tem como objetivo aplicar os critérios de epilepsia fármaco-resistente, propostos pela ILAE em 2010, em pacientes com epilepsia em acompanhamento em um centro de referência e avaliar os efeitos adversos de medicações sobre a qualidade de vida, através da aplicação de questionários padronizados.Métodos: Foram incluídos 81 pacientes com diagnostico definido de epilepsia em acompanhamento em um centro terciário. Todos os pacientes tinham mais de 18 anos, estavam em uso de droga antiepiléptica em dose estável por pelo menos 3 meses, não foram diagnosticados com outras comorbidades clinicas ou psiquiátricas e não estavam em uso regular de nenhuma outra medicação que não o DAE. Os pacientes foram classificados em quatro grupos seguindo as orientações da ILAE: 1A (crises controladas, sem efeitos adversos); 2A (crises não controladas, sem efeitos adversos); 1B (crises controladas, com efeitos adversos), 2B (crises não controladas, com efeitos adversos). Na avaliação da qualidade de vida foi utilizado o questionário QOLIE-31 (Quality of life in epilepsy-31) e para auxiliar na avaliação da presença de efeitos adversos foi utilizada a escala LAEP (Liverpool adverse effects profile). Conclusão: Os pacientes dos grupos com pior controle de crises (2A e 2B) mostraram piores escores de qualidade de vida, enquanto que os grupos com controle de crises (1A e 1B) mostraram melhor qualidade de vida, independente da presença de efeitos adversos. A escala LAEP foi útil na avaliação de efeitos adversos por ajudar a diminuir a subjetividade desta avaliação. É conhecido da literatura que o controle de crises e a presença de efeitos adversos podem impactar negativamente na qualidade de vida dos pacientes com epilepsia. No nosso trabalho, a presença de efeitos adversos não foi um fator que influenciou na qualidade de vida, o que pode estar associado ao número das amostras. / Background: Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease that causes a great impact in the quality of life of the patients. This is related not only due to psychosocial factors but also due to factors associated with the disease itself, as well as to the antiepileptic drugs adverse effects. It is estimated that the good seizure control will be achieved for only some patients and many times with significant adverse effects, mainly in patients with drug resistant epilepsy. Since there was no defined criteria for refractory epilepsy, making the identification and care of these patients more difficult, in 2010 the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) suggested a classification to identify patients with good seizure control or uncontrolled seizures, with or without adverse effects. Objectives: Our work aims to use the ILAE 2010 criteria to identify patients with drug resistant epilepsy in patients of a referral center and to evaluate their quality of life and the presence of antiepileptic drugs adverse effects. Methods: It was included 81 patients with a defined diagnosis of epilepsy, all patients were 18 years old or older, were using an antiepileptic drug in a stable dose for at least 3 months, did not have other clinical or psychiatric diagnosis and were not using any other medication than the antiepileptic drug. Patients were classified in four groups, according to ILAE guidelines: 1A (good seizure control, no adverse effects); 2A (no seizure control, no adverse effects); 1B (good seizure control, with adverse effects), 2B (no seizure control, with adverse effects). For the evaluation of quality of life it was used the QOLIE-31 (Quality of life in epilepsy-31) questionnaire and for the evaluation of adverse effects it was used the LAEP (Liverpool adverse effects profile) questionnaire. Conclusion: Patients from groups with poor seizure control (2A and 2B) showed worse scores for quality of life while patients from groups with good seizure control (1A and 2A) showed better scores, regardless the presence of adverse effects. The LAEP scale was useful for the evaluation of adverse effects, since it helped to decrease the subjectivity in the evaluation. It is known from literature that seizure control and adverse effects have a negative impact the quality of life in patients with epilepsy. In our study, we were not able to show that the presence of adverse effects influenced the quality of life, this may be associated with the sample size.

Descreve e analisa os dados sobre repressão a livros considerados subversivos entre abril de 1964 a março de 1979, no Brasil. Os dados estudados são os autos de busca e apreensão cumpridos pela polícia política e exército para confiscar obras durante a Ditadura Militar e que fizeram parte de processos judiciais que chegaram ao Superior Tribunal Militar. Cerca de 707 processos foram resgatados e reunidos pelo Projeto Brasil Nunca Mais durante a Ditadura e estão disponíveis integralmente na internet desde 2013. A pesquisa abrange todos os resultados da busca de autos de apreensão de livros confiscados contra suspeitos. Ao todo foram encontrados 323 autos de busca e apreensão em 145 processos jurídicos, representando 20% (vinte por cento) da totalidade. A pesquisa tem dois momentos. O primeiro é uma análise descritiva dos dados presentes nos autos, em que é possível saber quantos livros foram apreendidos por ano, por organizações, pelo perfil dos atingidos e por quem executou as ordens. Os autos foram analisados como um conjunto desmembrado dos processos. O segundo é a análise do auto de busca e apreensão como parte do processo jurídico. A escolha do processo analisado foi feita porque os livros apreendidos constaram como prova para condenação do réu. As constatações finais da pesquisa foram três. A primeira é que ao se analisar os dados dos autos percebeu-se que eles revelam uma fotografia da ditadura militar, sendo possível fazer uma correlação da repressão sofrida pelas diferentes organizações de resistência e o confisco dos livros. A segunda constatação é que os agentes repressivos buscavam especificamente livros que pudessem incriminar os suspeitos, sendo instruídos para identificar quais livros poderiam ser tidos como subversivos. Por fim, a terceira observação é que os livros apreendidos tinham peso relativo dentro de cada processo. Às vezes figurando apenas como anexo e em outros casos sendo usados como prova para condenação do réu. Além das contribuições apresentadas acima, a pesquisa lista os títulos dos livros apreendidos para servir de consulta e referência para próximas pesquisas sobre o tema. / It describes and analyzes data on repression of books considered subversive between April 1964 and March 1979 in Brazil. The data studied are the seizure cases carried out by the political police and the army to confiscate books during the Military Dictatorship and which were part of legal proceedings that reached the Superior Military Tribunal. Almost 707 cases have been rescued and assembled by the Brazil Never Again Project during the dictatorship and is available on the internet since 2013. The search covers all the results for the warrants against suspects in which books were confiscated. In all, 323 search and seizure cases were found in 145 legal proceedings, representing twenty percent (20%) of the totality. The research has two moments. The first is a descriptive analysis of the data present in the records, in which it is possible to know how many books were seized per year, by organizations, by the profile of those affected and by those who executed the orders. The records were analyzed as a set dismembered of the processes. The second is the analysis of the search and seizure self as part of the legal process. The choice of the process analyzed was made because the books seized were evidence for the defendant\'s conviction. The final findings of the survey were three. The first is that when analyzing the data of the records it was noticed that they reveal a photograph of the military dictatorship, being possible to make a correlation of the repression suffered by the different organizations of resistance and the confiscation of the books. The second finding is that repressive agents specifically searched for books that could incriminate suspects and were instructed to identify which books might be considered subversive. Finally, the third observation is that the seized books had relative weight within each process. Sometimes appearing only as an attachment and in other cases being used as evidence for the conviction of the defendant. In addition to the contributions presented above, the research presents the list of the books seized to serve as a reference for future research on the subject.
