In this paper we introduce a domination game based on the notion of connected domination. Let G = (V,E) be a connected graph of order at least 2. We define a connected domination game on G as follows: The game is played by two players, Dominator and Staller. The players alternate taking turns choosing a vertex of G (Dominator starts). A move of a player by choosing a vertex v is legal, if (1) the vertex v dominates at least one additional vertex that was not dominated by the set of previously chosen vertices and (2) the set of all chosen vertices induces a connected subgraph of G. The game ends when none of the players has a legal move (i.e., G is dominated). The aim of Dominator is to finish as soon as possible, Staller has an opposite aim. Let D be the set of played vertices obtained at the end of the connected domination game (D is a connected dominating set of G). The connected game domination number of G, denoted cg(G), is the minimum cardinality of D, when both players played optimally on G. We provide an upper bound on cg(G) in terms of the connected domination number. We also give a tight upper bound on this parameter for the class of 2-trees. Next, we investigate the Cartesian product of a complete graph and a tree, and we give exact values of the connected game domination number for such a product, when the tree is a path or a star. We also consider some variants of the game, in particular, a Staller-start game.

The article analyzes human rights discourses in debates regarding abortion and human embryonic stem cell research as a part of the process of biosociality. These questions arise in the health and reproductive field and move into the realm of the law because of ethical issues. The text examines discourses regarding the transformation of embryos and fetuses into subjects of rights in the context of the Supreme Court: the legal move for unconstitutionality against Biossecurity Law that authorized stem cell extraction from supernumerary embryos created through assisted reproduction (ADI 3510), and the legal case that proposes to include in legal abortion anticipated parturition of anencephalous fetuses (ADPF 54).

administration included the tail-end of the Peloponnesian War (culminating in the siege of Athens by Sparta and her allies) and the aftermath of oligarchy followed by civil war. Not all of the financial damage suffered by the orphans will have been due to Diogeiton’s fraud. The speech is exceedingly well crafted. A financial suit of this sort is by nature likely either to bore or confuse an audience. Lysias does not attempt to work through the accounts systematically but seizes a few items which exemplify Diogeiton’s dishonesty. Particular attention is paid in the narrative to the characterization of Diogeiton. Lysias presents us with a plausible villain (even where he offers no corroborative evidence) by striving for consistency in the actions narrated. Diogeiton conceals the scale of the estate as he conceals his brother’s death. He cheats on his daughter’s dowry, as he cheats his wards by cunningly transferring to them the whole cost of sacrifice (§21), funeral monument (§21) or liturgy (§24, §26) disguised as half the cost. And he persistently avoids attempts to resolve the dispute (§2, §12). But perhaps the finest touch in the speech is the use of the widow, Diogeiton’s daughter. As Todd has noted (The Shape of Athenian Law, 203), the quotation of the woman’s speech to her father allows Lysias to circumvent to some degree one of the procedural limitations of the Athenian courts, the fact that women could not appear in any capacity. Yet Diogeiton’s daughter is the only one (beside Diogeiton himself) who has personal knowledge of his depredations. The use of direct speech creates the illusion that we are actually hearing the woman herself. It also allows the speaker to achieve pronounced emotional effects while maintaining for himself the restrained personality appropriate to an individual embroiled in a dispute with kin. CASE IX: ISAIOS 3 – ON THE ESTATE OF PYRRHOS [AGAINST NIKODEMOS FOR FALSE TESTIMONY] There were in Athens two formal means of checking a legal move by an opponent. The older process, called diamartyria, consisted (as the derivation from martys, ‘witness’, suggests) of a formal affirmation of a fact which made a given action invalid. The affirmation stood, and the action in question was ruled out, unless the opponent brought an action for false testimony against the individual who made the assertion. The diamartyria declined in importance from the end of the fifth century (overtaken by the newer and more flexible paragraphe, for which see the introduction to Dem. 35 on p. 150F), and
