O Sistema de Relações na Lógica da Essência
Authors: Wohlfart João Alberto
Published: December 2018

O artigo que segue é centrado no conceito de Relação absoluta exposto por Hegel no final da Lógica da Essência. O texto é estruturado a partir do conceito de aparecimento e de efetividade, no qual Hegel expõe as relações fundamentais e a lógica das modalidades. O problema básico diz respeito à demolição das antigas estruturas metafísicas e pergunta acerca da concepção hegeliana de relação posta no lugar da essência. O trabalho apresentado é um estudo a partir do texto hegeliano recentemente traduzido ao Português e procura evidenciar a significação filosófica da Relação nos momentos da substancialidade, da causalidade e da interação. Destaca a Relação absoluta como o ponto fulcral da contradição através da qual a racionalidade destrói na medida em que constrói e constrói na medida em que destrói.
A Leitura Crítica de Jacques Maritain da Modernidade desde a Noção de Humanismo Integral
Authors: Marques Victor Hugo de Oliveira , Siqueira Luilson Augusto Gomes
Published: December 2018

A modernidade, para além de um tempo histórico da cronologia filosófica, passou a ser um conceito que ainda gera grandes embates entre os teóricos. De fato, pode-se perguntar “em que consiste a modernidade?”. Será, a modernidade, um projeto acabado ou está ainda vigente? Essas perguntas têm motivado várias respostas, tanto no intuito de defender o esgotamento da modernidade quanto no esforço de evidenciar sua vigência. Diante dessa problemática filosófica a respeito da modernidade, Jacques Maritain, à luz da filosofia neoescolástica francesa, também procura elaborar sua leitura. Nesse sentido, o que se pretende neste artigo é apresentar a leitura de Maritain sobre a modernidade encontrada, de modo mais especial, em sua obra “Humanismo Integral” (1937). Para tanto, serão evidenciados os pressupostos da discussão maritaniana da modernidade, subsequente, a identificação teórica que este autor faz entre modernidade e tragédia mediante a dialética do humanismo e, por fim, sua discussão histórica e sua fundamentação cultural. Pretende-se, ao final, evidenciar que Maritain não se encontra no binômio: pós-modernistas ou modernistas tardios, mas apresenta uma leitura original da modernidade desde uma perspectiva histórico-cultural crítica do humanismo.

Authors: Martins Andérbio Márcio Silva , Oliveira Gabriel Barros Viana de
Published: December 2018

Objetivamos neste estudo apresentar o estado da arte da língua Kinikinau, uma língua Aruák (cf. Aikhenvald 1999: 67) localizada atualmente no pantanal sul-matogrossense e que se encontra em estágio moribundo (menos de 7 falantes), conforme Oliveira (2017). Chamamos a atenção para a quantidade de trabalhos descritivos existentes e apresentamos alguns questionamentos acerca dos estudos comparativos, na tentativa de que sejam vistos como formas provisórias de se compreender a língua e as mudanças pelas quais passou ao longo do tempo. O artigo está dividido da seguinte maneira: na seção 1, fazemos uma pequena apresentação sobre o povo Kinikinau, sobre a situação sociolinguística crítica em que a língua se encontra e sobre a literatura linguística da língua Kinikinau; na seção 2, tratamos do que se pensava ser o único estudo dessa língua no século XIX; na seção 3, tratamos dos estudos realizados no século XX; e na seção 4, apresentamos os estudos desenvolvidos no século XXI. Por fim, na seção 5, tecemos algumas considerações finais sobre o assunto.

Authors: Darmasiwi Sari , Herawati Oktaviana , Retnaningrum Endah
Published: December 2018

Guava seed is by-product from the consumption of guava fruits. We interested to explore further the potential of guava seed waste using fermentation method. The purpose of this research was to determine the ability of biofilm formation produced from fermentation of guava seed. Fermented guava seed was prepared by solid-state fermentation method using banana leaves wrap at 37 °C for 72 h. It were then continued with isolation and screening of bacteria from the fermentation products, preparation of bacteria cultures to be used in biofilm formation, and formation of biofilm by glass slides and broth cultures methods. The edible biofilm formation by glass slide method was observed by light microscopy using 0.5 % Crystal Violet dye, while biofilm formation by broth cultures method was observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) using phosphotungstic acid 2 % dye. The results show that there were 3 (three) strains lactic acid bacteria (LAB) candidates isolated from fermented guava seed waste product (J6, J7, and J8 strains). The observation by light microscopy showed that J7 strain was the only strain which was unable to form biofilm by glass slide method. All the strains showed the ability to form biofilms in different stages by broth cultures method. Thus, guava seed fermentation was able to produce edible biofilm but the LAB strains still need to be identified further.

Two Ancient Egyptian Models in the Historical Photographic Archive of the Museo Egizio, Turin
Authors: Montonati Tommaso
Published: December 2018

This article presents two case studies from the historical photographic archive of the Museo Egizio in Turin. Three photographic plates (C0629, C0630, and C0631) show two fragments of models (of a boat and of a granary) found by the Italian Archaeological Mission at Gebelein in 1914. These photos give important information about the condition of these objects at the moment of their discovery, since one of the models (boat cabin, S.15776 [?]) is currently much more fragmented than in the historical photographs, and the granary is now lost. The author focuses particularly on the chronology, spread and significance of the boat cabin’s distinctive decoration style, on the basis of which he proposes a date for the (now lost) tomb where they were found. The chronology of this burial has remained hitherto moot, since no accurate date could be provided for the only other objects ascribed to its owner, Iqer, namely, two pieces of his coffin carrying Coffin Texts, labeled as G1T and G2T.

The article deals with the essence, factors, and patterns of macroeconomic risks mitigation. The purpose of the paper is to summarize and present a classification of systemic risks, to analyse principles and methods of macroeconomic risks evaluation. The methodological basis of the study is general scientific and special methods of cognition. The most extended analysis of systemic risks not only from the perspective of geographical and historical aspects but also in the context of modern economic processes is carried out. Results of the research prove that in the context of formation of a new economy of Ukraine and approval of the practice of timely prevention and mitigation of macroeconomic risks in accordance with imperative of modern time, it is necessary to: 1) give real state priority to the most advanced educational technologies. While providing maximum broad and equal access of youth to education, we should have the program for search and practical support of national intelligence phenomena in place; 2) create conditions for rehabilitation and advanced development of innovative directions of applied and, first and utmost, polytechnic sciences. It is the task of the state to ensure their financial support and direct employment at enterprises. All-round support of introduction of high-yield venture developments into the production; 3) secure efficient state protection of intellectual property, create legislatively the conditions for commercial usage of innovative achievements within the country; 4) encourage with maximum efficiency return of high-level engineers and blue-collar workers to the technological area; breathe new life into the system of professional and technical schools where information and programming professions prevail and which graduators would be engaged with priority into operations in unique productions; 5) create modern information market, allround support of introduction of a unified information field. Learning and striving to satisfy human needs without placing systemic risks on future generation being on the Earth should become the core principle of a civilizational development. Value/originality. We may lay down an essential principle of civilizational regulation of systemic risks when each state, specifically the international community, should set up (subject to all complexities of practical implementation) regulating constants, rules, and bans of such contents and in such direction to have business or entrepreneurial activities carried out ultimately in the risk-related mode, which would cause no detrimental effect on the economy as whole.

Authors: Savolainen Ulla
Published: December 2018

Artikkeli tarkastelee kasvun teemaa sekä ylirajaisuutta Juhani Konkan kahdessa muistelmateoksessa Kahden maailman rajalla (1939) ja Pietarin valot (1958) kulttuurisen muistin näkökulmasta. Juhani Konkka (1904–1970) oli inkerinsuomalainen vuonna 1919 Inkerinmaalta Neuvosto-Venäjältä Suomeen siirtynyt kirjailija, toimittaja ja venäjänkielisen kirjallisuuden suomentaja. Konkan muistelmateokset avaavat kiinnostavan näkökulman Inkerinmaan dramaattiseen 1900-lukuun, siihen liittyviin kokemuksiin sekä Inkerin ylirajaiseen asemaan. Artikkelissa teoksia luetaan suhteessa modernin omaelämäkerran ja kehitysromaanin lajeihin. Teoksia tarkastellaan myös suhteessa niiden ilmestymisajankohtiin (1939 ja 1958) ja analysoidaan, miten omakohtaisen menneisyyden merkitykset muovautuvat teoksissa suhteessa erilaisiin nykyhetkiin. Artikkeli analysoi myös sitä, miten erilainen kehystys teoksen sisällä vaikuttaa samoille historiallisille tapahtumille ja kokemuksille kirjallisuudessa annettuihin merkityksiin.

Published: December 2018

Today, within the context of harmonisation of requirements in the international pharmaceutical market, there is a trend towards development of common standards, including in the field of preclinical studies. The reliability and reproducibility of experimental data obtained in various laboratories using animals cannot be guaranteed unless the 3Rs principles are observed (the principles of humane experimental technique) to ensure the welfare of animals. The present paper analyses Russian and foreign recommendations on different administration routes and administered volumes as applied to mice, rats, guinea pigs, and rabbits – the most frequently used laboratory animals.  The paper systematises literature data on oral/intragastric, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous and intraperitoneal routes of administration. It assesses potential complications of each route of administration, and negative effects on both health and well-being of laboratory animals, as well as on the results of experiments. The paper also touches upon some anatomical and physiological characteristics of laboratory animals, potential opportunities for feed and water deprivation, ways of reducing pain in animals. The results of comparison of administered volumes helped to determine optimal recommended and maximum administered volumes.
Interchangeability of Fluconazole Drugs
Authors: Bunyatyan N. D. , Sysuev B. B. , Sokova E. A. , Evteev V. A.
Published: December 2018

Fluconazole – an antifungal agent belonging to the chemical class of triazole derivatives – is represented in the Russian pharmaceutical market by a large number of generic drugs. An important issue of rational pharmacotherapy is the demonstration of the reference and generic drugs’ equivalence with the aim of assessing their interchangeability. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyse fluconazole drug dosage forms and routes of administration, as well as qualitative and quantitative composition of active substances and excipients in order to identify characteristics that may affect interchangeability. The analysis of the nomenclature and composition of fluconazole drugs was carried out based on the data contained in the National Register of Medicinal Products of the Russian Federation and the Reference Book of Medicines®. It was shown that the current nomenclature of fluconazole drugs includes the following types of products: for parenteral use, internal use, and topical use. The generic fluconazole drugs in the form of capsules differ from the reference Diflucan® in excipients, shelf life, and packaging. The fluconazole substance has a number of specific features, i.e. the presence of polymorphic modifications, their specific characteristics, and the influence of the process parameters and storage on their stability. It was revealed that in many cases the production of fluconazole capsules involved the use of substances purchased from two or more suppliers, which may lead to changes in quality and bioavailability during storage. The obtained data can be used in the future for optimisation of pharmaceutical development and evaluation of interchangeability of fluconazole drugs.

Published: December 2018

The use of assay methods with different test conditions for determination of anthracene derivatives in herbal substances and herbal medicinal products requires adjustment of the established limits for total anthracene derivatives content based on the test method used.

The aimof the study was to compare different pharmacopoeial methods of quantitative determination of anthracene derivatives, and established limits for the active substance content, and to analyse the possibility of adjusting the limits based on the test method used.

Materials and methods: the total content of anthracene derivatives was measured in the samples of frangula bark (fragmented bark and powder) and senna leaves (fragmented leaves and powder) using the test methods described in the State Pharmacopoeia of the Russian Federation (XI and XIII editions), and the European Pharmacopoeia.

Results:the analysis of Russian and foreign pharmacopoeial requirements for determination of anthracene derivatives in laxative herbal medicinal products demonstrated differences in extraction solvents, extraction conditions, and calculation methods used. The experiments showed that the optimal extraction solvent was 70 % alcohol solutions, and that an indirect cobaltic chloride reference standard should be replaced by specific absorbance of glucofrangulin A and sennoside B. It was shown that the limits for total anthracene derivatives content should be chosen based on the extraction conditions used.

Conclusions:comparative theoretical research and experimental studies helped to determine optimal assay conditions and respective limits for total anthracene derivatives content to be used in quality control of herbal substances and herbal medicinal products.
International Practice of Storing Human Cell Lines Intended for Clinical Use
Authors: Rachinskaya O. A. , Chaplenko A. A. , Melnikova E. V. , Semenova I. S. , Olefir Yu. V.
Published: December 2018

Currently, the Russian Federation does not have a well-established state-controlled market for cell banks (CB) containing cell material that is potentially applicable for clinical purposes. Cryopreservation of cells in cell bank (CB) is an important step in the production of a number of biomedical cell products and makes it possible to overcome difficulties faced by manufacturers during production and storage of large amounts of cell material. At present there are a large number of human cell lines in the world, which are stored in CB owned by commercial and public organisations in different countries. In addition, new cell lines are being banked every year. All this makes it difficult to find cell material suitable for production purposes or that could potentially be used as donor material in clinics. This study analysed the international practice of storing human cell lines for clinical use. The authors of the study systematised the existing CB worldwide and analysed regulatory documents governing the activities of these banks in different countries. The analysis revealed a trend towards formation of CB, often specialising in certain types of cells, as well as a trend towards creation of registries giving full information about cell lines including data on their scientific application. The increasing development and clinical use of cell therapy products in the Russian Federation and abroad will most likely lead to the increase in the number of CB and registry systems, as well as amounts of materials stored in them, including cell lines intended for clinical use.
Assessment of the Performance Status of a Wharf
Authors: Garrick Ombor Pereowei , Nwaoha Thaddeus C.
Published: December 2018

This paper suggests Fuzzy-logic-rule base method to assess the performance status of a wharf in order to classify it. The method proposed is predicated upon its ability to analyse processes and operations based on subjective judgement with little or no statistical data available. The study also shows that fuzzy-logic rule base is a veritable tool to qualitatively and quantitatively assess the status of a wharf offering ferry service. Using the model developed in this study, the performance status of Yenagoa wharf has been determined to be orange, having a (WPS) overall of 4.8. The status of the wharf has been in good agreement with the perception of stakeholders that the Yenagoa wharf needs restructuring to curb the frequent crisis occurring among stakeholders. The model also indicated those areas of the wharf’s operations needing attention. The study indicates that even though major components that determine the quality and profitability of the wharf’s ferry service are high in value, the overall status of the wharf may not be necessarily high. As such, the study method can be used to control the growing ill-feeling between boat operators and passengers while harmonizing all stakeholders (operators, passengers, and regulators etc) to work together to improve the status of the wharf.
Women Serial Killers in a Climate of Changing Gender Norms
Authors: Benkart Elizabeth
Published: December 2018

Existing research suggests that patterns of both men and women serial killers are hyper-gendered. In American society, however, gender norms for women have dramatically changed over time. This study proposes that the patterns of women serial killers reflect the femininity ideals of the time period in which they operated in. The shifts in gender norms are operationalized by three time periods representative of the waves of feminism. The Radford/Florida Gulf Coast University’s serial killer database is used to establish a sample of 1,321 serial killers. Using multivariate regression analyses and controlling for age of last kill, which could potentially alter the kill method but be unrelated to gender, women serial killers do appear to be impacted by the femininity ideals of their time period but not as clearly as initially anticipated. Men serial killers were also found to be affected by changes in femininity ideals. Both women and men serial killers had more feminine kill patterns during the first wave of feminism, but men serial killers had a very violent, hyper-masculine peak during the second wave of feminism that women serial killers did not have.
Recruiting Research Higher Degree Students into Veterinary Science
Authors: Sinclair Michelle , Phillips Clive
Published: December 2018

Research at veterinary schools is usually driven by post-graduate students, yet there has been little or no study of how these students are selected. We undertook a review of the challenges faced in enlisting research higher degree (RHD) students at a long-established veterinary school, the School of Veterinary Science at the University of Queensland. Our aim was to identify the best methods of developing a strategic recruitment program that would enhance veterinary research in the school. A total of 21 academic research supervisors completed a quantitative survey assessing the associated importance placed on a variety of selection criteria and the level of potential challenges presented in recruiting suitable RHD students. Thirteen of these respondents completed a semi-structured qualitative interview to obtain further information. Respondents rated the motivation levels of potential students as the most important area of concern with regard to the assessment of student suitability, followed by their academic strength and English competency levels. The biggest challenge reported was that of obtaining sufficient funding for research projects and matching that funding to suitable students, followed by the geographical and student culture challenges of a rural campus. During the interviews, interviewees drew attention to the importance of developing a strong research culture in veterinary schools, and there was some concern centered on taking students with diverse cultural backgrounds. These constraints are discussed in light of the development of a broad-ranging strategy for developing an active and effective RHD program within veterinary schools.
The resort myth in Chekhov’s Crimean prose
Authors: Lisitsyna E. Yu.
Published: December 2018

The article focuses on the traces of the Crimean resort myth in Chekhov’s works produced before 1888, when he first travelled to Crimea: Live Goods [Zhivoy tovar], A Tripping Tongue [Dlinniy yazyk], Excellent People [Khoroshie lyudi], An Actor’s End [Aktyorskaya gibel], and On March. On April. On May. On June and July. On August [O marte. Ob aprele. O maye. Ob iyune i iyule. Ob avguste]. The resort myth emerges in the late 1800s, and mainly through Chekhov’s works. This agrees with the findings of the scholars M. Stroganov and S. Kurianov, who argue that holidaying in Crimea is in fact Chekhov’s ‘gift’ to Russian intelligentsia, with the writer promoting the resort. Analysis of Chekhov’s earlier short stories in particular suggests that even before his visit to the peninsula, Chekhov relied on the Crimean mythologemes of the expensive holiday, expensive resort, and Crimean landscape. Chekhov also depicts Crimea as a place of solitude, as opposed to the hustle and bustle of the metropolis.

The article infers the basis for such assumptions: they were largely instigated by the writer’s conversations with the painter I. Levitan, who enthused about the place after his own trip there, as well as the latter’s numerous studies. The article also traces the changes in Chekhov’s perception of Crimea, citing his letters written before and after his first trip to the peninsula.
The image of Romeo as interpreted by Ivan Roskovshenko. From the history of Russian Petrarchism
Authors: Lutsenko E. M.
Published: December 2018

This study of the translation strategies for Romeo and Juliet heavily relies on two aspects concerning the play’s genre complexity: the lyrical plot (drawing on the poetic fashions of the 1590s), and the comical carnival element, imbued with a Shakespearean London idiom. The process of the Russian adaptation of Shakespearian imagery was lengthy and fraught with difficulties, not only due to the play’s linguistic complexity, but because of differences in treatment of higher matters (here, poetry) and social and everyday realities. The paper discusses the first Russian translation of Romeo and Juliet, penned by Ivan Roskovshenko. The study focuses on discovering the ways in which the play’s Petrarchian stylistics transforms in the Russian interpretation. A detailed comparative analysis of the translation and its original suggests that I. Roskovshenko consistently replaced the rhetorical conventions of the 16th century with the patterns of contemporary Russian poetry, domesticating the Shakespearian text. The approach only paid off when the images of English Petrarchism, interspersing Romeo and Juliet, resonated with the Russian poetry of the early 1800s.
Relations between Development Towns and Kibbutzim
Authors: Gigi Moti
Published: December 2018

Until the 1970s, the few interactions between Sderot and the
neighboring kibbutzim in the Sha’ar HaNegev Regional Council revolved
around the kibbutzim’s economic and political dominance. As political
resistance to this control increased, kibbutz members became worried
about the consequences of segregation and economic exploitation and
wished to alter these problematic relations. Thus, the Sderot–Sha’ar HaNegev
partnership program, which aimed to create a shift in the relational
structure, was established. This article analyzes the power dynamics
between Sderot residents and the kibbutzim during the program’s operation.
The partnership, although expected to reduce segregation and
change the power relations between the communities, did not bring about
a transformation from paternalism to partnership, but rather evolved
from dominance to hegemony. Although the hierarchical relations are still
in place, the interaction between spatial, class, and identity elements has
created new ways in which the relationship operates up to the present day.
Counting Up the Lies

Published: December 2018

Travel writers seldom reveal the degree to which they deploy fictional elements
in their notionally nonfictional books, nor do they discuss the precise motivations
for and mechanics of fictionalization and fabrication in travel writing. In
this article a travel-writing practitioner turned travel-writing scholar analyzes
his own work: the thirteen-year-old manuscript of The Ghost Islands, an unpublished
travel book about Indonesia. This analysis reveals various patterns of
fabrication across what was presented as and intended to be a “true account,”
including the craft-driven fabrications necessitated by reordering and amalgamating
events, the omissions generated by attempts to overcome belatedness and
to express antitouristic sentiments, the fictional elements introduced through the
handling of dialogue and translation, and the self-fictionalization impelled by
awareness of genre conventions. The article highlights the significance of writerly
craft as a key—and largely overlooked—variable in the scholarly analysis of
travel-writing texts.

How can travel books and narrative ethnography be compared? This article
systematically examines the works of an eminent travel writer and an anthropologist
with respect to paratexts, themes, lexis, named entities, and narrative
positions. It combines quantitative methods with a close reading of three books.
The article discusses whether a mixed-methods approach of close reading and
quantitative analysis can be applied to comparing larger corpora of travel writing
and ethnography.
More Than Souvenirs

Published: December 2018

Lady Annie Brassey (1839–1887) was a well-known Victorian travel writer who
was also a collector, photographer, ethnographer, zoologist, and botanist and
who traveled around the world aboard the privately owned yacht the Sunbeam.
During these voyages she amassed a collection of approximately six thousand
objects. Much more than tourist souvenirs, the collection shows a rigorous academic
understanding of the disciplines she was collecting within. The ethnographic
material, which makes up one-third of the collection, has gained little
attention. Using her travel writing as a primary source, this article will interrogate
Brassey’s role as the maker of this collection, someone whose class allowed
her to travel and to pursue museum collection, curation, and education to a
near-professional level. Through three case studies this article will consider how
she collected and curated her own museum and used her collection for public
benefit.

Intenzivna poljoprivredna proizvodnja bila bi nezamisliva bez učinkovite kemijske zaštite bilja. S obzirom na moguće opasnosti kod pripreme škropiva i aplikacije pesticida, svako nepravilno rukovanje može utjecati na zdravlje rukovatelja i zaštitu prirodnog okoliša. Najviše pozornosti bi trebalo posvetiti edukaciji radnika u postupku zaštite bilja, radi velikog broja ozljeda koje nastaju uslijed nestručnog rukovanja poljoprivrednim alatima, strojevima, oruđem, stokom i opasnim tvarima koje se koriste u poljoprivredi. Broj ozljeda koje se događaju tijekom pripreme škropiva i aplikacije pesticida nije moguće precizno utvrditi jer ne postoji obveza njihovog prijavljivanja nadležnim institucijama i tijelima državne uprave. Promjene koje je donio ubrzani tehničko-tehnološki razvoj obilježene su visokim stupnjem automatizacije, a time su se promijenili sadržaj i uvjeti rada te su se stvorile nove opasnosti, rizici i oblici ugrožavanja. Da bi se zaposle- nici zaštitili trebamo primijeniti nove pristupe i mjere u sustavu osiguravanja zdravlja i zaštite istog na radu.

Sida hermaphrodita (Virginia fanpetals, Virginia Mellow) pripada porodici sljezovki (Malvaceae) porije- klom iz SAD-a i Kanade. To je ne prehrambeni, celulozni usjev, s brzim rastom i jako razvijenim korijenovim sustavom. Zahvaljujući njenom biokemijskom sastavu (sličnom lucerni), Sida se u zelenoj fazi, može koristiti i kao visoko nutritivna hrana, sa sadržajem proteina i do 30% u vrijeme cvatnje. Sida omogućava i proizvodnju do 120 kg/ha kasnog prinosa meda. Ova jedinstvena vrsta, kada se žanje u suhoj fazi primjenjuje se kao energetska kultura, te se koristi za izolacije i te u celulozno-papirnoj industriji. U zelenom fazi koristi se u različitim industrijama i to farmaceutskoj industriji, industriji stočne hrane, industriji meda te u bioplinskoj industriji. Kao posebno profitabilna vrsta energetske kulture, sirovine budućnosti, već je predodređena da se koristi u industriji biogoriva. Plantaže Side imaju životni vijek najmanje 15-20 godina. Sida dobro raste u mnogim uvjetima na terenu i ne zahtijeva nikakve posebne uvijete tla.

Implementation of Cell Phone Detection Mobile Robot for Restricted Areas Using NodeMCU
Authors: Al-Kadhimi Aymen M. , Marhoon Hamzah M , Karam2 Zeyad A.
Published: December 2018

This paper involves the design and implementation of cell phone detection mobile robot. This is applicable in examination halls, private conferences and meeting rooms in which the using of cell phones is highly restricted. The robot is able to detect the presence of unauthorized communications by active phones and then distort them. The detection process is achieved by implementing an electrical circuit for sensing undesirable signals and using NodeMCU for interfacing the robot with a main computer unit. The main computer unit is used as a controlling platform in terms of mobile robot navigation as well as detection and jamming activating. This is accomplished by creating a graphical control panel programmed using a special HTML script. In this work, the cell phone detection mobile robot has been applied in an examination hall to simulate real educational environment. The robot has detected active calls by cell phones with a circle diameter of 1.2 meter and then jammed them directly. The whole area has been covered for detection and jamming by roaming the robot wirelessly via the remote main computer. Different voltage measurements for different detection distances have been recorded.
Adoption of Chain of Custody Improves Digital Forensic Investigation Process
Authors: Jawad Talib Mohammed
Published: December 2018

Chain of custody plays an important role in determine integrity of digital evidence, because the chain of custody works on a proof that evidence has not been altered or changed through all phases, and must include documentation on how evidence is gathered, transported, analyzed and presented.

The aims of this work is first to find out how the chain of custody has been applied to a wide range of models of the digital forensic investigation process for more than ten years. Second, a review of the methods on digitally signing an evidence that achieves the successful implementation of chain of custody through answering a few questions "who, when, where, why, what and how", and thus providing digital evidence to be accepted by the court. Based on the defined aims an experimental environment is being setup to outline practically an acceptable method in chain of custody procedure. Therefore, we have adopted SHA512 for hashing and regarding encryption RSA and GnuGP is applied where according to the defined requirement a combination of this algorithms could be adopted as a practical method.
