On grounded L-graphs and their relatives

We consider the graph class Grounded-L corresponding to graphs that admit an intersection representation by L-shaped curves, where additionally the topmost points of each curve are assumed to belong to a common horizontal line. We prove that Grounded-L graphs admit an equivalent characterisation in terms of vertex ordering with forbidden patterns. We also compare this class to related intersection classes, such as the grounded segment graphs, the monotone L-graphs (a.k.a. max point-tolerance graphs), or the outer-1-string graphs. We give constructions showing that these classes are all distinct and satisfy only trivial or previously known inclusions.Comment: 16 pages, 6 figure

IN THE NAME OF THE VICTIM: VICTIM PERSPECTIVE IN CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS WITH FOCUS ON POST – SENTENCE LEVEL

The probation service was introduced into the Criminal Justice System of the Czech Republic in 2001. From the beginning, in terms of content and organization, its work was based on the principles of restorative justice. The practice of probation officers is directed in this regard at the resolution of the problem; it does not engage only the offender but also the victim and the local community, who may participate in the process of resolving the consequences of the crime. The conditions for the realization of the process of mediation are set in the special legislative framework that provides for mediation between the victims and the perpetrators under the jurisdiction of all courts in the Czech Republic, and this procedure is free for all participants. There is a regional centre in every region of the Czech Republic (the country is divided into 13 regions), as well as in the metropolitan area of its capital, Prague. Mediation between the perpetrator and the victim has become one of the most important activities and most effective methods in the work of Czech probation officers when it comes to restorative justice.Probacijska služba u kazneno-pravnom sustavu u Češkoj Republici uvedena je 2001. godine. Od samog početka, u sadržajnom i organizacijskom smislu postavljena su pitanja o tome kako djelovanje službe postaviti na restorativnim osnovama. Praksa probacijskih službenika usmjerena je u tom smislu da se u razrješavanju problema ne angažira samo počinitelja kaznenog djela, nego i žrtvu, ali i lokalnu zajednicu koja treba sudjelovati u postupku razrješavanja posljedica kaznenog djela. Uvjeti za ostvarenje procesa medijacije postavljeni su posebnim zakonodavnim okvirom koji osigurava medijaciju između žrtve i počinitelja na područjima svih sudova u Češkoj Republici, a taj je postupak za sve sudionike besplatan. U svakoj regiji u Češkoj Republici postoji jedan regionalni centar (Češka Republika je podijeljena u 13 regija), a jedan je za područje glavnog grada Praga. Medijacija između počinitelja i žrtve kaznenog djela postala je jedna od najvažnijih aktivnosti i učinkovitih sredstava u radu čeških probacijskih službenika kada je riječ o restorativnoj pravdi

Fears in Adolescence

Fear is a natural and useful companion of human beings throughout their whole lifespan. The study tries to map the fears of 15-year old adolescents. It is based on data collected as part of the ELSPAC project (European Longitudinal Study of Pregnancy and Childhood). On the basis of the "Cake of Fear" method, subjective responses about the contents of fears were collected. These contents were categorized into 19 general categories, which cover a wide range of the topic. With the number of fears ranging from 0 to 22, respondents reported 5.3 on average. The category Fear of losing someone, fear for somebody/something occupies first position, with fears related to death and concerns about friends and family being most prominent. Generalised fears are ranked second, noticeably represented with fears of failure and the future. The third largest category is the category of school-related fears. Differences in the incidence of fears are discussed regarding gender and developmental stage
