Abstract: The search for techniques that allow for the rapid and accurate assessment of seed vigor, such as the Seedling Analysis System (SAPL®) and ILASTIK®, can be promising alternatives for seedling image analysis. The objective of this work was to classify the vigor of lentil seeds using seedling image analysis techniques and interactive machine learning. Seeds from seven lots were characterized for physiological potential through germination and vigor tests. For computerized seedling analysis, the seeds were subjected to seedling growth tests at 20 °C for three, four, five, and ten days, and then photographed using a digital camera. The images were processed using SAPL® software, yielding values for total length, root length, shoot length, and vigor, growth, and uniformity indices. ILASTIK® provided data on the percentage of vigorous seedlings, non-vigorous seedlings, and dead seeds. The total length of seedlings, root length, shoot length, and vigor indices determined at 4 days of germination by SAPL® allowed for the classification of lots in terms of vigor. Data obtained by ILASTIK® at 4 days of germination, used in machine learning studies, enable the development of models with high accuracy for seed vigor assessment.

Authors: Medeiros Marcelo de Almeida , Souza Leticia Suely de , Godoy Petra Karina B. de
Published: November 2023

Abstract Is there an alignment between France’s migration policies and its pattern of receiving immigrants and refugees? Immigrants represent 13.1% of the French population, and debates about their impact and assimilation capacity date back to the 19th century. National and European legislation sets the rules governing entry permits and the conditions for obtaining permanent residence. This article analyzes France’s migration policy based on the legislation enacted between 2015 and 2019 and data on the granting of residence, asylum, and resettlement in the same period. The results reveal: (i) a trend towards open border and better reception conditions due to legislation; (ii) an increase in the number of successful applications for residence and resettlement, accompanied by a decrease in successful asylum appeals, conditioning refugees to stay outside French territory to be accepted.

Published: November 2023

ABSTRACT This is a narrative review that aims to discuss the importance of elastographic methods in the evaluation of clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH) in cirrhotic patients, where the authors propose an algorithm for evaluating these patients. In compensated advanced chronic liver disease, the goal is to prevent the development of CSPH and, in those already with CSPH, prevent the appearance of gastroesophageal varices (GEV) and other complications of portal hypertension. In compensated cirrhosis, the prevalence of GEV is 30-40%, of which 10-20% are at risk of bleeding. Therefore, using non-invasive methods would exempt the patient from the need of an endoscopy. Hepatic Elastography is a non-invasive, safe, reproducible method, available through many techniques: Vibration-Controlled Transient Elastography (VCTE), Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) and Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE). The Baveno VII presented the “rule of 5” for VCTE: liver stiffness measurement (LSM) ≤15 kPa and platelets >150.000/mm3 exclude CSPH, while an LSM ≥25 kPa is highly suggestive of CSPH. Also, the “rule of 4” for SWE has been proposed: patients with ≥17 kPa could be considered as having CSPH. At last, spleen stiffness measurement (SSM) has been proposed as a more specific technique to predict the presence of CSPH. In conclusion, elastography has gained prestige in the non-invasive evaluation of patients with advanced chronic liver disease by allowing prophylactic measures to be taken when suggesting the presence of CSPH.

Published: November 2023

ABSTRACT Background: Sarcopenia is a syndrome characterized by progressive and generalized loss of muscle mass and strength, observed to varying degrees in patients with various chronic conditions. In cirrhotic patients, it reflects protein-energy malnutrition due to metabolic protein imbalance and is associated with worsened prognosis and reduced post-liver transplantation survival. Objective: To evaluate the epidemiological distribution of diminished hand grip (HG) strength in cirrhotic patients at an outpatient clinic of Santa Casa de Misericórdia in Vitória-ES, Brazil, seeking its association with liver function and cirrhosis complications. Methods: Cross-sectional, epidemiological, and single-center study. A questionnaire was administered to patients and HG strength was measured using a dynamometer, with three interval measures taken for 3 seconds each. Results: The study’s total population was 64 cirrhotic patients, with a mean age of 58 years and alcohol as the most prevalent etiology. Reduced HG strength was defined based on two reference values: using cutoff point 1, reduced HG strength was identified in 33 patients (51.6%); according to cutoff point 2, 23 (35.9%) had reduced HG strength. The study showed that, among the parameters observed, there was an association between the female gender and diminished HG strength in both cutoff points. Additionally, it was noted that patients with a score of 15 or more on the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) had decreased HG strength at cutoff point 2. The study showed no association between decreased HG strength and the occurrence of cirrhosis complications in the population studied. Conclusion: In our study, we obtained a diminished HG strength variation of 35-52%, which was related to higher MELD scores, suggesting an association with worse clinical outcomes. Therefore, the presence of reduced muscle strength in cirrhotic patients may be linked to prognostic factors and should be valued as clinical data in the management of these patients.

Published: November 2023

ABSTRACT Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) has high mortality rates worldwide. In Brazil, it is the second most common cancer in both sexes. Delay in detecting premalignant lesions contributes to increased morbidity and mortality. In this scenario, the Piranhas project was created to track CRC in a low-income population in the hinterland of Alagoas. Objective: The study aimed to establish the main strategies and verify the feasibility of implementing a CRC tracking program and demonstrate the results obtained in the CRC Prevention Campaign in Piranhas/AL. Methods: The program took place in Piranhas, Alagoas, Brazil, through public-private partnerships. Individuals aged between 50 and 70 years of age were included for screening with a fecal occult blood test (FOBT) and colonoscopy in positive cases. Patient data were collected on standard forms. Results: A total of 2152 patients, aged between 50 and 70 years, were screened, 130 of which underwent colonoscopy. Several preneoplastic lesions were detected in 58 patients. The adenoma detection rate (ADR) was 33.85%. Conclusion: The study proved to be effective and viable since 44.6% of the program participants, who underwent screening with FOBT, followed by colonoscopy in positive cases, had some type of preneoplastic lesion. In addition, the program generated a significant social impact on the population of Piranhas due to the opportunity to diagnose and treat CRC precursor lesions.

Authors: YILMAZ Berna , KÖK Şahin
Published: November 2023

The aim of this study was to reveal the diversity and host interactions of aphids on different plant communities in an urban ecosystem in the northwest of Türkiye between April and October from 2021 to 2022. From the sampling, 55 aphids from 26 genera in the family Aphididae (Hemiptera) on 65 host plant of 26 families were determined. From the aphids, Capitophorus archangelskii Nevsky, 1928 and Uroleucon leontodontis (Hille Ris Lambers, 1939) are found to be new to the aphid fauna of Türkiye. In the urban ecosystem, 108 interactions between aphids and hosts, including the new records of the interactions for Türkiye were identified on different plant communities. Also, we revealed the biodiversity of aphids and hosts interactions in various plant communities in the urban ecosystem. Our results showed that the species richness and abundance of aphids were significantly higher on the herbaceous plants compared to other communities. Also, interactions between aphids and their hosts in the herbaceous plants were more diverse than the trees and shrubs. Accordingly, the results of our study revealed that biodiversity of interactions between aphids and their hosts was higher on the herbaceous plants compared to other plant communities in the urban ecosystem.
Electrical Resistance, Stability and Mechanical Properties of PVC Composites Containing Graphite and Semiconductor for Sensor Technologies
Authors: DİNDAR Bircan , EKER Anıl
Published: November 2023

This study aimed to obtain a new flexible poly vinyl chloride (PVC) based composite with conductive or semiconductor properties. Additives were graphite and semiconductor zinc oxide (ZnO). A non-ionic surfactant was also firstly used to obtain a homogeneous composite. For the characterization of these new composites; humidification, electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical resistance, thermal shock measurements, tensile test and morphological and microscopic (SEM) measurements were performed. For the light test, a “Solar simulator” with a 1000 W xenon lamp was used. The electrical resistance and tensile strength of the materials were measured at each test step. According to the data obtained, it was determined that the electrical resistance of the materials with high graphite content, without ZnO, is still stable, while the electrical resistance of the ZnO-doped materials decreases and their conductivity increases considerably in special stimuli such as light. P3G2Z (32% PVC, 60% Graphite, 8% ZnO) was greater than 3 MΩ, with a large change in conductivity after electrostatic discharge, reaching 1078.33 kΩ, with the largest difference observed. It was determined that the resistance of P2G3Z and P1G1Z composite materials under solar radiation decreased approximately 81 and 23 times, respectively. This event proves that the composites become light sensitive semiconductor. As a result, the electrical and mechanical data of flexible, sensitive, conductive and semiconductor new polymers by doping PVC with graphite and ZnO nanoparticles at different rates will make a great contribution to the sensor, actuator, management system control mechanisms, and the robots used in the automotive and defense industries.
Adaptive Control of an Inverted Pendulum by a Reinforcement Learningbased LQR Method
Authors: YILDIRAN Uğur
Published: November 2023

Inverted pendulums constitute one of the popular systems for benchmarking control algorithms. Several methods have been proposed for the control of this system, the majority of which rely on the availability of a mathematical model. However, deriving a mathematical model using physical parameters or system identification techniques requires manual effort. Moreover, the designed controllers may perform poorly if system parameters change. To mitigate these problems, recently, some studies used Reinforcement Learning (RL) based approaches for the control of inverted pendulum systems. Unfortunately, these methods suffer from slow convergence and local minimum problems. Moreover, they may require hyperparameter tuning which complicates the design process significantly. To alleviate these problems, the present study proposes an LQR-based RL method for adaptive balancing control of an inverted pendulum. As shown by numerical experiments, the algorithm stabilizes the system very fast without requiring a mathematical model or extensive hyperparameter tuning. In addition, it can adapt to parametric changes online.
Analysis and Control of Chaos in Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor
Authors: MOUSSA YAYA Abdallah , UYAROĞLU Yılmaz
Published: November 2023

This paper explores the chaotic dynamics exhibited by a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) through an analysis of Lyapunov exponents and equilibrium points. Subsequently, the study focuses on controlling the motor's chaotic behavior under specific parameter conditions using a straightforward controller. The approach employed in this paper involves utilizing a single-state feedback controller as the resolution method. The derived control law enables the stabilization of the motor's state around a reference state, even in the presence of parameter uncertainties, thereby preventing chaotic behavior. To illustrate the proposed method, numerical simulations were conducted in MATLAB, showcasing the practical application of this approach. The simulation results demonstrate the success of the controller used.

Authors: ÇAKIR-DİNDAR Ece Gökçe , GÜLER Behlül
Published: November 2023

Turkey is expected to be affected considerably in future adverse climatic conditions. Plant species are one of the most vulnerable to these climatic changes. In this study, we aimed to investigate current and future potential distribution areas of Ferulago humilis Boiss., which is an endemic vascular plant species for Turkey, using CMIP5 projected to year 2070. For this purpose, we obtained occurence data (presence-only) from Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). Regarding bioclimatic data we used WorldClim dataset with 10 km2 resolution. Using both plant occurrence and bioclimatic data, we performed species distribution modelling analysis. We used two methods namely Boosted Regression Trees (BRT) and Random Forest (RF). Additionally, we used bootstrapping method as partitioning resampling for all analysis. Our analysis has showed that potential distribution areas of the species has slightly changed for the future projection. The species movement is towards slightly upwards as higher latitudes. We believe that our study shows the importance and relevance of the endemic species in the scope of species distribution models for plant conservation topics.

Authors: KABATAŞ Ayşe
Published: November 2023

Sturm-Liouville equation on a finite interval together with boundary conditions arises from the infinitesimal, vertical vibrations of a string with the ends subject to various constraints. The coefficient (also called potential) function in the differential equation is in a close relationship with the density of the string. In this sense, the computation of solutions plays a rather important role in both mathematical and physical fields. In this study, asymptotic behaviors of the solutions for Sturm-Liouville problems associated with polynomially eigenparameter dependent boundary conditions are obtained when the potential function is real valued 𝑳𝟏- function on the interval (𝟎, 𝟏). Besides, the asymptotic formulae are given for the derivatives of the solutions.

Published: November 2023

Valproic acid (VPA) is among the most commonly used antiepileptic drugs in childhood and adult epilepsy. Although VPA is well tolerated, it can cause life-threatening side effects. VPA has toxic and genotoxic effects. Antioxidants can reverse drugs' toxic and genotoxic effects. Therefore, our study aimed to evaluate the antigenotoxic protective effect of quercetin (QUE) against VPA genotoxicity by in vitro comet assay analysis method. Comet assay analysis was performed in five different groups. Group I; negative control (Sterile H2O), Group II; positive control (H2O2), Group III; VPA was applied in four different dose ranges, Group IV; QUE was applied in four different dose ranges, Group V; For the simultaneous combined administration of VPA and QUE, three different doses of VPA + four different doses of QUE were administered. Low-dose administration of QUE was more effective in ameliorating the damage caused by low-dose VPA (62.5 μg/ml) administration. It is seen that the genotoxic damage caused by the application of 125 μg/ml VPA can be eliminated by QUE at all doses. It was determined that different doses of QUE exhibited a significant antigenotoxic effect against damage caused by 125 µg/mL VPA (P<0.05). In our study, the curative effect of QUE on DNA damage was determined by in vitro comet analysis. Our analysis results showed that QUE ameliorates VPA-induced genetic damage.

Published: November 2023

Abstract:Тhe article views the issues of harmonization of the norms and explanations of the RF Supreme Court Plenum, regulating the examination of evidences by the second instance court in the procedural law of Russia. A proper evidence examination is to a great extent an indicative of the appeal procedure efficiency. The methodological basis of the research is a complex of the scientific cognition methods, with the dialectical method as the leading one. In the article, the general scientific methods (dialectics, analysis and synthesis, abstracting and concretism) and specific scientific methods (comparative legal and technical legal) were used. The author demonstrates the gradation of the types of evidences that can be used in the second instance court. The prominence is given to the explanations of the RF Supreme Court Plenum that are common for all the forms of the court procedures; the proposals are formulated on improving the procedural legislation to increase theefficiency of the evidence examination by the appeal court. The reasons are justified for setting the rules of the appeal exhaustion in the RF Criminal Procedural Code, that are established for the decisions which are yet not effective in law, with the exhaustion fixed in one form or another in the RF Civil Procedural Code, Arbitration Procedure Code, Administrative Procedure Code. The proposed recommendations should be implemented through a concurrence in the positions of the legislators representing the four forms of the court procedures covering the legislative fixation of the common (similar) norms and rules given in different procedural codes and proved to be effective.

Published: November 2023

Background: Salvia urica Epling is taxonomically and phylogenetically related to Salvia amarissima Ortega. The last species has pharmacological relevance by its contents of bioactive metabolites. Nowadays, Salvia urica has no reports about its chemical constituents and pharmacological activities.
Hypothesis: Does the close relationship between S. amarissima and S. urica led both species produce similar specialized metabolites? Does Salvia urica display similar pharmacological effects as S. amarissima?
Studied species: Salvia urica Epling (Lamiaceae).
Study site and dates: The plant material was collected in Teopisca, Chiapas, Mexico, in December 2021.
Methods: Metabolites of the acetone extract from Salvia urica were identified by GC-MS and HPLC-PDA profiling. In parallel, a phytochemical study was conducted, and the individual purified constituents, previously characterized by 1D NMR, were assayed on antihyperglycemic effect in diabetic mice and a charcoal-gum arabic-induced hyperperistalsis model in rats.
Results: The volatile compounds identified by GC-MS were alkanes, aromatics and triterpenes. The principal constituents of the acetone extract of Salvia urica were amarissinin A and 5,6-dihydroxy-7,3',4'-trimethoxyflavone, which were also quantified by HPLC-PDA. The extract and both metabolites isolated showed an antihyperglycemic effect on streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice, suggesting a possible synergic effect. In addition, the compound 5,6-dihydroxy-7,3',4'-trimethoxyflavone (IC50 = 0.79 mg/kg) showed a better antipropulsive effect than loperamide (IC50 = 16.6 mg/kg).
Conclusions: The phytochemical composition of an acetone extract of Salvia urica was determined by first time. The metabolites isolated from this plant support the phylogenetic relationship of S. urica with Salvia amarissima, and they showed antipropulsive and antihyperglycemic effects.

Authors: Polkovskaya Marina , Khabardin Vasily
Published: November 2023

The paper describes a program for calculating the total specific labor intensity of tractor maintenance during their one-season use. The mathematical support of the program is represented by models that allow, based on data on the seasonal operation of tractors, to calculate the total specific labor intensity of maintenance. In the algorithmic support, the main stages of calculating the indicator under study are formulated. The user interface of the program is created in the form of a form using the Visual Basic for Applications programming language. In addition to the labor intensity itself, the program calculates statistical parameters, upper limits of seasonal operating time and probabilities of intervals. The proposed program can be used to calculate the total specific labor intensity of maintenance not only for tractors, but also for other machines used in agricultural production.

Published: November 2023

The Puyo-Tena roadway is prone to landslides due to the geodynamics, geomorphology, and geological materials of the area (unstable outcrops and strata). In recent years, this problem has persistently caused the road to be partially or completely disabled on numerous occasions. The objective of the research was to generate a cartographic model of landslides susceptibility based on variables such as slope, geological formations, land cover and land use, as well as distances to faults, road, and rivers. The degree of landslides incidence was estimated as the linear combination of the weighted variables using the analytic hierarchy process. The importance of this semi quantitative method lies in its ability to  break down a complex decision problem into a simpler and more coherent decision model. The resulting cartographic model was classified into five susceptibility categories: very low, low, moderate, high, and very high. The results showed that 17 km out of the 80 km of the Puyo-Tena roadway have a high probability of landslides, which is equivalent to 21.25% of the road. Furthermore, within this  percentage, it was determined that there are fifteen regions with a high probability of landslides due to their location in areas with steep slopes, porous and permeable lithology, a  large number of rivers, and agricultural soils. The area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) was used for model verification. The verification results showed that the cartographic model for the study area has an accuracy value of 83.7%. The cartographic model of landslide susceptibility will enable relevant decisions to be made to mitigate potential hazards that may endanger transporters, material goods, and residents of the area.

İmalat endüstrisinde kullanılan geleneksel imalat yöntemleri bazı uygulamalar için yetersiz kaldığından, yeni imalat yöntemleri geliştirilmiş ve kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Bu imalat yöntemlerinden biri de eklemeli imalattır. Eklemeli imalat yöntemlerinde üretilecek parçaların son geometrisine malzemelerin katmanlar halinde biriktirilmesiyle ulaşılmaktadır. Eklemeli imalat yöntemleri içerisinde bulunan eriyik biriktirme modelleme yönteminde parça üretimi için termoplastik malzemeye ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu yöntemde oldukça çeşitli sayıda termoplastik malzeme kullanılabilmektedir. Termoplastik malzemelere karbon, metal, seramik ve ahşap gibi katkı maddeleri eklenerek, bu yöntemde termoplastik kompozit malzemelerden de yararlanılabilmektedir. Termoplastik kompozit malzemeler farklı termal, kimyasal, mekanik ve yüzey özelliklerinin elde edilmesine imkân vermektedir. Bu çalışmada PLA filament ve yaklaşık olarak ağırlıkça %80 oranında 410L çelik tozu katkısına sahip olan PLA-Çelik filament malzemeler ile darbe, çekme ve termal iletkenlik deney numuneleri üretilmiştir. Üretilen numunelerde gerçekleştirilen deneyler sonucunda malzemelerin darbe dayanımı, çekme dayanımı ve termal iletkenlik değerleri karşılaştırılmıştır.

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is one of the many causes of hypercoagulability which often presents with vascular thrombosis in the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies. Symptoms vary depending on the location of the thrombosis. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as paralytic ileus is one of the rare symptoms in APS. The main therapy for APS is use of anticoagulants, but this becomes difficult when there is ongoing bleeding. We report a successful but challenging treatment of a 42-year-old patient who presented with paralytic ileus due to APS with cofounded on-going renal bleeding caused by renal angiomyolipoma.
Tranexamic Acid in Trauma Management: A Review of Evidence
Authors: Kim Namryeol
Published: November 2023

Hemorrhage is the leading cause of death in trauma patients and trauma induced coagulopathy (TIC) is a major contributor to bleeding mortality. TIC has a diverse pathophysiology triggered by injury and hypoperfusion, including platelet dysfunction, endotheliopathy, fibrinogen or thrombin abnormalities, and dysregulated fibrinolysis. Early fluid resuscitation, appropriate blood transfusion, and definitive control of bleeding are essential components of initial management for TIC. Additionally, tranexamic acid (TXA), an antifibrinolytic agent, has emerged as a potential adjunctive therapy following the 2010 landmark trial that demonstrated the benefit of early administration of TXA in reducing trauma patient mortality (CRASH-2). This review provides an analysis of the current literature on the use of TXA in trauma patients. It critically evaluates the evidence on the effect of TXA on TIC and other clinical outcomes, emphasizing the time-sensitive nature of TXA administration and the variation of its effect depending on the severity and location of injury. It also discusses the optimal dosage, timing, and safety of TXA, as well as the challenges and limitations of existing studies. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of individualized treatment approaches based on the fibrinolysis status of TIC and the value of goal-directed therapy guided by viscoelastic hemostatic assays for the appropriate use of TXA.

Published: November 2023

The Fused Layer Modeling (FLM) 3D printing process becomes more and more common in industrial applications. In an environment of rapid production and customer services, the printed parts need to be quality proved for a save and reliable usage. In order to achieve this without expensive post processing steps, the monitoring and analysis of the printing process is  necessary. This work presents the results of feasibility studies for different low cost sensors to monitor the FLM printing process and the development of a data analysis system for evaluating the printing process. The process should be sufficiently monitored to avoid costly ensuing part testing.

Big and small states all function as comprehensive entities: they require state apparatuses, the ability to provide services for citizens, the capacity to protect themselves, and appropriate media systems to guarantee a deliberative communication space for democratic processes. Investigating media, in turn, is important since it informs us about risks and opportunities for media transformations. To examine the impact of smallness on monitoring and research capabilities in news media and journalism, we have compared four small European countries with contrasting historical backgrounds and different types of media systems: Austria, Croatia, Estonia, and Latvia. While earlier research has mainly focused on Western European countries, the current study broadens the perspective to Central and Eastern European countries. The analysis shows that smallness can influence research capabilities in different ways, with advantages and disadvantages for media and journalism research. Fewer national resources can foster internationalisation, with the side effect of less attention to country-specific problems. In the situation of growing specialisation in media and journalism research, small countries may be less capable of providing sufficient infrastructure for knowledge exchange. The article builds on research performed within the framework of the H2020 project Mediadelcom.
“It’s New to Us”: Exploring Authentic Innovation in Local News Settings
Authors: Olsen Ragnhild Kr. , Hess Kristy
Published: November 2023

Many local newsrooms across the globe have been forced to re-assess (and re-assert) their value and function during a period of intense digital disruption. “Innovate or die” has become an accepted mantra as governments, policymakers, and academics focus on shifting, for example, traditional newspapers into the digital era to maintain their perceived relevance. This article argues the need to understand and learn from the experiences of traditional commercial local news providers who have been encouraged to consider innovative solutions for their businesses. The article adopts a pooled case comparison approach, drawing on data from two separate studies examining media innovation in Norway and Australia. We outline three specific themes that appear to shape localized innovation practices: there is ambivalence or challenge to innovation discourse; introduced innovations are done so incrementally and re-contextualised to adapt to a local setting; and there is an authentic approach to innovation that prioritizes change aligning with local journalism’s social and community values.

Published: November 2023

One of the most difficult types of research conducted in the forensic department of the Bureau of Forensic Medical Examination is the identification of individuals by bone remains. When examining discovered bone remains, the first stage includes the tasks of determining the belonging of bones to a person and then determining the racial identity, sex, age, and growth of an individual. The set of established characteristics plays a decisive role in further search activities and identification of specific persons. This article presents an actual case. Human bone remains were found in the forest, which was established to belong to a white man. The victim was most likely 173–183.5 cm tall. The anatomical and morphological features of the bones correspond to the age of 49–56.5 years. Further, an identification examination was conducted with the study of radiological images of citizen N (52 years old) using graphic identification algorithms. The results established that the bone remains belong to citizen N. The above case demonstrates the possibilities of identity identification in a comprehensive study of bone remains and confirms the relevance of the problem of identifying unidentified corpses in forensic medicine. However, even today, no specific algorithm has been established for identifying the identity of a corpse in a particular situation, which creates additional difficulties in choosing the most correct method (s). Further modernization and improvement of methods for identifying the identity of unidentified corpses is required, and the search for new, simpler, more accessible and objective research methods has both scientific and significant practical interest.
