Civil Challenges to the Use of Low-Bid Contracts for Indigent Defense

In recent years, increasing attention has been directed to the problem of adequate representation for indigent criminal defendants. While overwhelming caseloads and inadequate funding plague indigent defense systems of all types, there is a growing consensus in the legal community that low-bid contract systems-under which the state or locality\u27s indigent defense work is assigned to the attorney willing to accept the lowest fee-pose particularly serious obstacles to effective representation. In this Note, Margaret Lemos argues that the problems typical of indigent defense programs in general-and low-bid contract systems in particular-can and should be addressed through § 1983 civil actions alleging that systemic defects in the state or locality\u27s chosen method for providing indigent defense services constitute a violation of indigent defendants\u27 constitutional right to effective assistance of counsel Lemos concludes that, by addressing the causes of ineffective assistance, such an approach can achieve positive change in a way that case-by-case adjudication of postconviction claims of ineffective assistance cannot

Prestación y eficiencia en la provisión de los servicios municipales: Comarca de Lemos

[Resumen]: Este trabajo trata de estudiar la fusión por integración de los municipios que configuran la Comarca de Lemos (Monforte de Lemos, Bóveda, O Saviñao, Sober, Pantón y A Pobra do Brollón) en un solo municipio. Las causas de este estudio se deben a los problemas actuales de eficiencia y sostenibilidad de estas Administración Locales, sobretodo en pequeños municipios. Estos problemas con los que conviven las Haciendas Locales, son debidos a múltiples factores y de un origen muy dispar: demográficos, socio-económicos, de prestación de los servicios públicos y presupuestarios, para ello realizaremos un estudio de los distintos municipios en dichos aspectos. Para dar respuesta a esta problemática, la fusión de municipios puede ser una buena alternativa, puesto que ello podría mejorar la provisión y accesibilidad a los servicios públicos locales, la maximización de éstos, una mayor recaudación y el adelgazamiento de la Administración Pública. Para evitar con los efectos derivados de la hipotética fusión municipal que integran la Comarca de Lemos, en uno solo, Terras de Lemos, provoquen incertidumbre y malestar, es necesario un estudio detallado y completo del medio analizado que ofrezca conclusiones lo suficientemente precisas para decidir si es viable o no, dicha fusión.[Abstract]: This work tries to study the merger for integration of the municipalities that form the Region of Lemos (Monforte de Lemos, Bóveda, O Saviñao, Sober, Pantón and A Pobra do Brollón) in one township. The causes of this study are due to the current problems of efficiency and sustainability of this Local Administration, especially in small municipalities. These problems are being generated at the local level, are derived from multiple factors and different origin: the demographic problems, socio-economic, provision of public services and budget, to do this we will make a study of the various municipalities in these aspects. In response to this problem, the combination of municipalities can be a good alternative, which could improve the supply and acces of public local services, the maximization of these services, higher tax collections and the thinning of the Public Administration. To prevent the measures arising from the hypothetical merger of the municipalities that put be together the Region of Lemos, in one single, Terras de Lemos, cause uncertainty and unease, it is necessary a detailed and complete study that offering conclusions sufficiently precise to decide whether it is feasible or not, that unity.Traballo fin de grao (UDC.ECO).

Fast method for the determination of short-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates (scl-PHAs) in bacterial samples by In Vial-Thermolysis (IVT)

none8siA new method based on the GC–MS analysis of thermolysis products obtained by treating bacterial samples at a high temperature (above 270 C) has been developed. This method, here named “In-Vial- Thermolysis” (IVT), allowed for the simultaneous determination of short-chain-length polyhydrox- yalkanoates (scl-PHA) content and composition. The method was applied to both single strains and microbial mixed cultures (MMC) fed with different carbon sources. The IVT procedure provided similar analytical performances compared to previous Py-GC–MS and Py- GC-FID methods, suggesting a similar application for PHA quantitation in bacterial cells. Results from the IVT procedure and the traditional methanolysis method were compared; the correlation between the two datasets was fit for the purpose, giving a R2 of 0.975. In search of further simplification, the rationale of IVT was exploited for the development of a “field method” based on the titration of thermolyzed samples with sodium hydrogen carbonate to quantify PHA inside bacterial cells. The accuracy of the IVT method was fit for the purpose. These results lead to the possibility for the on-line measurement of PHA productivity. Moreover, they allow for the fast and inexpensive quantification/characterization of PHA for biotechnological process control, as well as investigation over various bacterial communities and/or feeding strategies.mixedF.

Service to the king and loyalty to the duke: The Castro family in the faction of the Duke of Lerma

The Castro family, Counts of Lemos since the Middle Ages, reached the zenith of its power and prestige during the reign of Philip III. The political link generated by the marriage between the sixth Count of Lemos and one of the Duke of Lerma’s sisters allowed the sons of the couple to play a leading role within the faction led by the favourite of the King. The article aims to compare the work of the seventh and the eighth Count of Lemos, especially during their viceregal mandates in the Italian lands, highlighting the way in which they were able to contribute to the faction’s objectives and strategies. This comparison will show how, in the factions of early modern Europe, characters of very different abilities and ambitions could act together, being used each and every time according to their own skills and the needs of their families and alliesLos Castro, condes de Lemos desde la Edad Media, tuvieron su época de mayor poder y prestigio durante el reinado de Felipe III. El vínculo político generado por el matrimonio entre el VI conde de Lemos y una de las hermanas del duque de Lerma permitió que los hijos de la pareja jugaran un papel importante dentro de la facción liderada por el favorito del rey. El artículo tiene como objetivo comparar el trabajo del VII y del VIII conde de Lemos, especialmente durante sus mandatos virreinales en tierras italianas, poniendo de relieve de qué manera fueron capaces de contribuir a los objetivos y estrategias de la facción. Esta comparación mostrará cómo, en las facciones de la Europa moderna, personajes de muy diferentes capacidades y ambiciones podían actuar juntos, siendo utilizados cada vez de acuerdo con sus propias habilidades y con las necesidades de sus familias y sus aliados

Diego García Rengifo, ¿autor de La Comedia de la invención de la sortija?

El artículo propone la autoría de Diego García Rengifo para la hasta ahora anónima La Comedia de la invención de la sortija, interpretada por los niños del Colegio de la Compañía de Monforte, en 1594, ante el cardenal don Rodrigo de Castro, los VI condes de Lemos y su hijo don Pedro. Los indicios que apoyan esta hipótesis son varios: Diego García Rengifo -profesor de latín y griego en el citado colegio y autor de Arte Poética Española-se encontraba en Monforte en la fecha en queLa Comediafue escrita y representada, conocía Galicia y la lengua gallega, que utiliza en algunos de los versos, por haber pasado veinte años de su vida en el Colegio de Monterrey. El trabajo aporta documentación sobre las relaciones entre el jesuíta y los Lemos y desvela aspectos familiares y de política cultural de la poderosa estirpe de los condes de Lemos a finales del siglo XVI.The article proposes the authorship of Diego García Rengifo for the so far anonymous La Comedia de la invención de la sortija, played in 1594 by the children of the Colegio de la Compañía in Monforte, to the cardinal don Rodrigo de Castro, the VI counts of Lemos and their son, don Pedro. The indications that support this hypothesis are several: Diego García Rengifo -Latin and Greek teacher of the aforementioned Colegio and author of the Arte Poética Española- was living in Monforte on the date that La Comedia was written and performed. He knew Galicia and the Galician language that he uses in some of the verses, after twenty years of his stay at the Colegio in Monterrey. The work provides documentation on the relationship between the Jesuit and the Lemos family and reveals familiar aspects and cultural policy of the powerful lineage of the counts of Lemos in the late sixteenth century
