Doctrinal approach to the definition of the term “electronic evidence” in criminal proceedings
Authors: Kolichenko Artem
Published: September 2021

The presence of terminological disunity in the doctrine of criminal procedure in the definition of the term “electronic evidence” leads to misunderstanding or even misunderstanding of the essence and purpose of the designated phenomenon. Thus, the purpose of the article is to develop the term «electronic evidence» based on the existing doctrinal provisions. In addition, this article attempts to consolidate the existing knowledge about the term “electronic evidence”, its future and present for the modern criminal process. The author emphasizes the impossibility of formulating a legal norm related to electronic evidence without a specific and clear concept.

Hereditary angioedema is a rare (orphan) disease associated with the development of angioedema of various localization caused by the action of bradykinin. The main symptoms of the disease are peripheral angioedema, abdominal attacks (accompanied by severe pain syndrome), edema of the upper respiratory tract, which may lead to asphyxia and death of the patient. Peripheral edema disrupts social and professional activity, the occurrence of facial edema complicates social adaptation, the unpredictability and potential threat to life of edema in the larynx, as well as the lack of effect from standard (systemic glucocorticoid and antihistamines) therapy regimens lead to a low quality of life of patients, a large number of days of disability, hospitalizations, in some cases, premature death of patients.
According to international studies, on-demand therapy does not reduce the burden of the disease, and therefore international guidelines emphasize the importance of timely and individualized selection of long-term prevention for patients with hereditary angioedema. Taking into account the appearance of a new drug for long-term prevention in Russia, an Expert Council was held to assess the burden of the disease in Russian patients, determine the proportion of patients who need long-term prevention, criteria for choosing a medication for prophylaxis and the place of Lanadelumab in it.
HISTORY OF SCIENCE OF KARAKALPAKSTAN OF THE ХХ CENTURY
Authors: Temirkhanov Baxtiyar
Published: September 2021

The article is devoted to the history of the formation and development of science in Karakalpakstan. It is stated that in 1931 the Karakalpak Integrated Research Institute was established in Turtkul. In the pre-war period, this institute was reorganized several times, as a result of which difficulties arose in coordinating scientific and research work in Karakalpakstan. In 1947, it was transferred to the Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan. In 1959, the Karakalpak affiliate of the Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic was organized on the basis of the Karakalpak Integrated Research Institute, which made it possible to coordinate and develop fundamental scientific research in the republic. The scientists focused on topical issues of the development of the economy and culture of the republic, in particular, the study of natural resources, material and spiritual culture of the Karakalpak people. The author claims that a new stage in the development of this scientific center begins in 1991, when the Karakalpak affiliate of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan receives the status of the Karakalpak branch. The author critically assesses the period of development of science in Karakalpakstan in the 1990s, while claiming that this scientific institution has risen to new stages of its development and certain achievements have been achieved.

Public debt of Ukraine and its influence on main socio-economic indicators
Authors: Stepanenko Sergii
Published: September 2021

Introduction. Solving the problem of public debt management is one of the key factors of economic stability in the country. The budget capacity of the state and the stability of its national currency largely depend on the nature of the debt problem settlement. The need to address these issues requires finding ways to improve the mechanism of public debt management and servicing in Ukraine.

The purpose of the article is to study the public debt dynamics of Ukraine and model the nature of its impact on key socio-economic indicators in modern conditions.

Results. The dynamics and structure of the state and state-guaranteed debt of Ukraine for the period 2013-2019 are analyzed. The negative dynamics of the growth of the total amount of debt during 2014-2018 is determined. In 2019, the total amount of debt in hryvnia decreased due to the reduction of external and guaranteed debt, but in dollar terms increased, which threatens the financial stability of the country. Using the software product EViews 10 based on the Granger causality test, the system of causal relationships between the dynamics of public debt (index) and indicators of socio-economic development: GDP growth rate, industrial production index, real income index, employment index, the index of exports of goods and services, the index of imports of goods and services has been researched. On the basis of the established causal relations the autoregressive influence models of the public debt dynamics on indicators of social and economic development are constructed, on which the error does not exceed 5%.

Conclusions. According to the results of the constructed models, the negative impact of public debt on the main socio-economic indicators is determined, which is confirmed by the negative values of the elasticity indexes of socio-economic indicators. The built models serve as a preventive tool of public debt management, with the help of which it is possible to promptly respond to threats to socio-economic development by monitoring the level of public debt dynamics.

Key words: public debt, public debt management, socio-economic development, financial security of the state.

Published: September 2021

The effective performance of any Construction Project to a large extent depends on how deliberate, well thought, planned and managed works programming is developed and implemented. Effective works programming helps those doing the project to make sure that it is done within scope, time and cost. This study adopted a case study design and simple random sampling technique to identify 102 respondents from a target population of 132 respondents. Descriptive and inferential statistical techniques were employed. The findings were; there was a strong correlation between the predictor variable on the dependent variable. The ANOVA analysis indicated a P-value of 0.000. Therefore, the prevalence of working program applicability, adherence to effective work programming and knowledge of work programming techniques had a significant impact on the effectiveness of construction projects delivery. The study rejected the null hypothesis that the prevalence of working program applicability did not affect the delivery of construction management projects and knowledge of work programming did not affect the delivery of construction management projects in Kiambu County. However, the study failed to reject the null hypothesis that adherence to work programming did not affect the delivery of construction management projects in Kiambu County. Therefore, the study concluded that the prevalence of working program applicability significantly affected the delivery of construction management projects in Kiambu County and knowledge of work programming significantly affected the delivery of construction management projects in Kiambu County. The primary focus of this study was injecting solutions through integrating technology to enhance efficiency in real-time monitoring and evaluation. With the model of planning, control, reporting and proactive remedial action for the performance of construction projects
Active Processes of Word Formation in the Speech of Modern Vloggers (Based on Russian-Language Embroidery Vlogs on YouTube)
Authors:   St. Petersburg State Forest Technical University, Balakay Anna
Published: September 2021

Blogging is an integral part of modern Internet communication. It allows us to push the boundaries of time and space, making it possible for people around the world to interact online: find like-minded individuals, learn, communicate, get up-to-date information, etc. The most popular video format of such interaction today is video blogging. Video bloggers (vloggers) often find themselves in the position of a leader: their lifestyle and speech characteristics become a model for the channel’s subscribers; people listen to vloggers and try to copy them. Since each social role corresponds to a certain type of speech behaviour and a set of language tools, it can be assumed that the speech of vloggers also has some specific features. This paper is an integral part of a multidimensional study of the speech of modern vloggers from the embroidery community on YouTube and considers the active processes of word formation in their speech. The material included Russian-language YouTube videos dedicated to embroidery posted from 2016 to 2020. The research showed that the appearance of derived words in the colloquial speech of embroiderers is not accidental. Words are derived quite often and borrowed by vloggers from each other. They perform various functions, the main being nominative and emotionalevaluative. The creative component of embroiderers’ activity is reflected in their speech: the process of forming new words is characterized by imagery, metaphoricalness, and abundance of diminutives with positive connotations.

Published: September 2021

This paper aims to offer a free software program, LINCE PLUS, suitable for systematic observational studies in sports and health, conducted in natural contexts such as training, education or psychology. Using one or several videos simultaneously, different parameters such as behaviors, decision-making or strategies can be analyzed. The software includes several functionalities for studies that researchers need to utilize throughout the observational study process. Collaborative work can be accomplished by using simultaneous videos and multiple observers. The results of all research conducted by LINCE PLUS are offered inside the application in real time, enabling common calculations or including specific analysis with R language without the need for any other external tool. Moreover, LINCE PLUS shows the results of each study with interactive charts or, if needed, it exports the data to specific data analysis software programs (e.g., SAS, Excel, Theme, GSEQ 5, Hoisan). We include examples of sports and health studies that have been conducted with LINCE PLUS to show the suitability of this software program.
Characterizing the X-Ray Emission of Intermediate-mass Pre-main-sequence Stars
Authors: Nuñez Evan H. , Povich Matthew S. , Binder Breanna A. , Townsley Leisa K. , Broos Patrick S.
Published: September 2021

We use X-ray and infrared observations to study the properties of three classes of young stars in the Carina Nebula: intermediate-mass (2–5 M
⊙) pre-main-sequence stars (IMPS; i.e., intermediate-mass T Tauri stars), late-B and A stars on the zero-age main sequence (AB), and lower-mass T Tauri stars (TTS). We divide our sources among these three subclassifications and further identify disk-bearing young stellar objects versus diskless sources with no detectable infrared (IR) excess emission using IR (1–8 μm) spectral energy distribution modeling. We then perform X-ray spectral fitting to determine the hydrogen-absorbing column density (N

H
), absorption-corrected X-ray luminosity (L

X
), and coronal plasma temperature (kT) for each source. We find that the X-ray spectra of both IMPS and TTS are characterized by similar kT and N

bol ∼ 4 × 10−4. IMPS are systematically more luminous in X-rays (by ∼0.3 dex) than all other subclassifications, with median L
X = 2.5 × 1031 erg s−1, while AB stars of similar masses have X-ray emission consistent with TTS companions. These lines of evidence converge on a magnetocoronal flaring source for IMPS X-ray emission, a scaled-up version of the TTS emission mechanism. IMPS therefore provide powerful probes of isochronal ages for the first ∼10 Myr in the evolution of a massive stellar population, because their intrinsic, coronal X-ray emission decays rapidly after they commence evolving along radiative tracks. We suggest that the most luminous (in both X-rays and IR) IMPS could be used to place empirical constraints on the location of the intermediate-mass stellar birth line.

Using the Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer, we obtained high-resolution (R ∼ 35,000) K-band spectra of the four planets orbiting HR 8799. We clearly detected H2O and CO in the atmospheres of HR 8799 c, d, and e, and tentatively detected a combination of CO and H2O in b. These are the most challenging directly imaged exoplanets that have been observed at high spectral resolution to date when considering both their angular separations and flux ratios. We developed a forward-modeling framework that allows us to jointly fit the spectra of the planets and the diffracted starlight simultaneously in a likelihood-based approach and obtained posterior probabilities on their effective temperatures, surface gravities, radial velocities, and spins. We measured

Radial velocity (RV) surveys have discovered giant exoplanets on au-scale orbits with a broad distribution of eccentricities. Those with the most eccentric orbits are valuable laboratories for testing theories of high-eccentricity migration. However, few such exoplanets transit their host stars, thus removing the ability to apply constraints on formation from their bulk internal compositions. We report the discovery of Kepler-1704 b, a transiting 4.15 M

. Our decade-long RV baseline from the Keck I telescope allows us to measure the orbit and bulk heavy-element composition of Kepler-1704 b and place limits on the existence of undiscovered companions. A failed hot Jupiter, Kepler-1704 b was likely excited to high eccentricity by scattering events that possibly began during its gas accretion phase. Its final periastron distance was too large to allow for tidal circularization, so now it orbits its host from distances spanning 0.16–3.9 au. The maximum difference in planetary equilibrium temperature resulting from this elongated orbit is over 700 K. A simulation of the thermal phase curve of Kepler-1704 b during periastron passage demonstrates that it is a remarkable target for atmospheric characterization from the James Webb Space Telescope, which could potentially also measure the planet’s rotational period as the hot spot from periastron rotates in and out of view. Continued characterization of the Kepler-1704 system promises to refine theories explaining the formation of hot Jupiters and cool giant planets like those in the solar system.
Linking and the Role of the Material Citation
Authors: Miller Jeremy , Agosti Donat , Guidoti Marcus , Rivera Quiroz Francisco Andres
Published: September 2021

Citing the specimens used to describe new species or augment existing taxa is integral to the scholarship of taxonomic and related biodiversity-oriented publications. These so-called material citations (Darwin Core Term MaterialCitation), linked to the natural history collections in which they are archived, are the mechanism by which readers may return to the source material upon which reported observations are based. This is integral to the scientific nature of the project of documenting global biodiversity. Material citation records typically contain such information as the location and date associated with the collection of a specimen, along with other data, and taxonomic identification. Thus, material citations are a key line of evidence for biodiversity informatics, along with other evidence classes such as database records of specimens archived in natural history collections, human observations not linked to specimens, and DNA sequences that may or may not be linked to a specimen. Natural history collections are not completely databased and records of some occurrences are only available as material citations. In other cases, material citations can be linked to the record of the physical specimen in a collections database. Taxonomic treatments, sections of publications documenting the features or distribution of a related group of organisms (Catapano 2019), may contain citations of DNA sequences, which can be linked to database records. There is potential for bidirectional linking that could contribute data elements or entire records to collections and DNA databases, based on content found in material citations. We compare material citations data to other major sources of biodiversity records (preserved specimens, human observations, and material samples). We present pilot project data that reconcile material citations with their database records, and track all material citations across the taxonomic history of a species.
TaxonWorks: Character state matrices and identification tools
Authors: Dmitriev Dmitry , Yoder Matthew
Published: September 2021

TaxonWorks is an integrated web-based application for practicing taxonomists and biodiversity specialists. It is focused on promoting collaboration between researchers and developers. TaxonWorks has a modular structure that enables various components of the application to target specific needs and requirements of different groups of users. Specific areas of interest may include nomenclature-related tasks (Yoder and Dmitriev 2021) designed to help assemble and validate scientific name checklists of a target group of organisms; and collection management tasks, including interfaces to create, filter, and edit collecting events, collection objects, and loans. This presentation focuses on matrix-related tools integrated into TaxonWorks. A matrix, which could either be used for phylogenetic analysis or to build an identification key, is structured as a table where columns represent numerous characters that could be used to describe a set of entities, taxa or specimens (presented as rows of the table). Each cell of the table may contain observations for specific character/entity combinations. TaxonWorks does not generate a table for each a particular matrix—all observations are stored as graphs. This structure allows building of a matrix of an unlimited size as well as reuse of individual observations in multiple matrices. For matrix columns, TaxonWorks supports a variety of different kinds of characters or descriptors: qualitative, presence/absence, quantitative, sample, gene, free text, and media. Each character may have specific properties, for example a qualitative descriptor may have numerous characters states, and a quantitative descriptor may have a measurement unit defined. For an entity in a matrix row, TaxonWorks supports either collection objects (specimens) or taxa as Operational Taxonomic Units (OTU). OTUs could either be linked to nomenclature or be stand alone entities (e.g., representing undescribed species).

The matrix, once built, could serve several purposes. A matrix based on qualitative and quantitative characters could be used to build an interactive key (Fig. 1), construct standardized natural language descriptions for each entity, and determine a diagnosis (a minimal set of characters that separate one entity from all others). It could also be exported and used for phylogenetic analysis or to build an interactive key in an external application. TaxonWorks supports export files in several formats, including Nexus, TNT, NeXML. Application Programming Interfaces (API) are also available. A matrix based on media descriptors could be used as a pictorial identification tool (Fig. 2).

Published: September 2021

Speaking skill pedagogy has always remained a huge enigma for English as a Second Language (ESL) educators. Despite the challenges, the need to master the skills prevail in academia. The undergraduates especially those from the technical division seem to grapple with the ability to perform well in their studies and market their products upon employment due to the inability to communicate well in English. Nowadays, there are numerous platforms available for ESL learners to improve their speaking proficiency. Thus, this paper intended to study the effectiveness of using Skype as an online platform to help students enhance their confidence in speaking in English. 100 reflective journals of first year undergraduates who enrolled in an English course were collected. Meanwhile, 10 undergraduates were randomly selected to participate in the semi-structured interview. All the participants’ reflections and views were analyzed and thematized using Transana software. Four main themes emerged: account possession; familiarity; challenges; and features. It was found that many participants were aware of Skype but did not have the account prior to the study. Majority of the participants admitted that Skype activities helped them to converse better which enhanced their motivation to speak in English more confidently and fluently.

Chemistry is branch of science that is different because of chemical representations. The chemical representation made students assumed that chemistry is difficult. Students must master chemical representation to be able understand chemistry deeply. Besides, science process skills are crucial skills in learning chemistry, however, the students’ science process skills are rare to be involved. Chemical representation and science process skills have relationship each other.  Nowadays, it was still difficult to find module could be used either face-to-face learning or online learning. Therefore, this study aimed to develop valid module integrated chemical representation and science process skills, and can be used in face-to-face learning and online learning (dual mode module) and to investigate teachers’ response about module. The research design used was ADDIE, data collected by using online validation form that was given to 6 validators to assess module based on suitability content, potential effectiveness, and overall satisfaction. To investigate chemistry teachers’ response to module, the online questionnaire given to teachers and it was further analyzed using percentage and compare to criteria of validity and criteria of response user. Th result found that module developed is valid with suitability content is 90.7%, potential effectiveness is 92%, and overall satisfaction is 92.5%. The chemistry teachers’ response showed that this module is very good criteria (92.36%). Therefore, dual mode module hopefully would be used in learning chemistry as media in face-to-face learning and online learning and also support chemical representation and science process skills among students.

A África e a cultura afro-brasileira nas práticas pedagógicas da educação para jovens e adulto: um estudo de caso em uma escola estadual de Linhares-ES
Authors: Andreatta Cidimar , Reis Nilceia dos Santos
Published: September 2021

Este trabalho possui, como temática central, a discussão acerca das questões étnico-raciais e da cultura afro-brasileira no ambiente escolar cujo objetivo é investigar o trabalho com as questões étnico-raciais em uma escola de Jovens e Adultos da rede estadual de Linhares. Ressaltamos a importância de discutirmos a referida temática na educação básica, tendo em vista ainda presenciarmos pouco conhecimento e segurança por parte dos professores em cumprir o que preceitua tal legislação. O trabalho se configura como de natureza bibliográfica e aplicada com abordagem qualitativa do tipo estudo de caso, realizado em uma escola estadual no município de Linhares, estado do Espírito Santo. Como instrumentos de coleta de dados, utilizamos questionário, diário de campo e ficha de observação de pesquisa, que foram analisados em categorias temáticas e análises interpretativas. Os resultados da pesquisa demonstraram que o trabalho escolar relacionado as questões étnico-raciais ainda está muito restrito ao componente curricular de Arte e História assim como em atividades e eventos pontuais
Self-monitoring of blood pressure for preeclampsia patients: Knowledge and attitudes
Authors: Munyungula Johanna , Shakwane Simangele
Published: September 2021

Background: Preeclampsia is one of the causes of maternal deaths and is also responsible for complications such as premature births worldwide. In South Africa, hypertensive disorders cause 14% of all maternal deaths. Evidence indicates that it may be beneficial to empower women to monitor their blood pressure (BP) in the comfort of their homes.Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore and describe preeclampsia patients’ knowledge and attitudes towards the self-monitoring of their BP.Method: An exploratory, descriptive and contextual qualitative research study was conducted. Fourteen preeclampsia patients were purposively sampled and participated in the study. In-depth semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. Data were analysed using the thematic analytic approach.Results: The knowledge and attitudes towards the self-monitoring of blood pressure (SMBP) were explored. Four themes emerged, namely understanding of hypertension disorders during pregnancy, openness on self-monitoring at home, its hindrances and benefits. The participants portrayed limited understanding and knowledge of preeclampsia, yet they had positive attitudes towards monitoring BP themselves and were open and willing to do self-monitoring at home.Conclusion: The use of SMBP may relieve overcrowding in public healthcare institutions. Encouraging patients to participate in self-monitoring could promote active participation and a positive outlook on their pregnancies. The unavailability and unaffordability of the equipment may pose a challenge to women with a low socioeconomic status.

The equivalent consumption minimization strategy (ECMS) is a promising energy management approach to low-fuel economy with the outstanding features of high efficiency. In this article, an optimal ECMS by Improved Genetic Algorithm (IGA) is proposed. To this end, we improved the genetic algorithm (GA) from the coding method, initialization mode, and cross and mutation process. And based on the comprehensive energy consumption and Pontryagin’s minimum principle, the equivalent factor was derived. The IGA was used to optimize the equivalent factor. To evaluate the performance of the proposed energy management strategy (EMS), the average efficiency of the engine and the motor was analyzed in an urban area, high-speed area, and the whole area. The comprehensive fuel consumption was used as the energy consumption index, and the battery capacity loss under the transient conditions was amplified to 10 years as the evaluation battery life index. The simulation results show that under the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC), the proposed strategy improves the fuel economy and battery life index by 14.64% and 36.76%, respectively, compared with the rule-based EMS.
Historical evolution and current state of investment of the Norwegian sovereign wealth fund in the stock market
Authors: Gómez-Pavón Durán Laura
Published: September 2021

Over the past three decades, Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWF) have grown to become key players in the global investment landscape. At the top of this list is the Norwegian SWF, with a volume of assets under management surpassing 1 billion US$1, of which 70% is invested in more than 9,000 listed companies worldwide. This paper offers a global and descriptive vision of the evolution of the distribution of investment in shares, taking into account criteria such as the economic sector to which it belongs, the region where the investment is made or the number of companies that attract this investment. It is concluded that the fund has chosen to consolidate a highly diversified investment strategy both geographically and by industry.
Filosofía, historia y marxismo. Aportes desde el debate Sartre-Merleau-Ponty
Authors: Cladakis Maximiliano Basilio
Published: September 2021

El presente estudio tiene por objetivo abordar la relación entre filosofía, historia y marxismo desde el debate entre Jean Paul Sartre y Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Dicha relación excede el campo teórico para extenderse sobre el campo histórico-político. Precisamente, para ambos autores la filosofía se da en un anudamiento con el mundo de la vida imposible de evitar. Con esta finalidad, trataremos el debate entre Sartre y Merleau-Ponty teniendo en cuenta sus miradas y posicionamientos con respecto a los acontecimientos que hicieron a su contemporaneidad.

Authors: Acevedo Fernando Polo , Castillo Francisco Yesid Triana , Barajas Carmen Elisa Therán , Cuentas Narcy Carolina Prieto
Published: September 2021

La presente investigación, producto de un trabajo de maestría de la Escuela superior de administración pública, en sinergia con la Fundación Universitaria Comfenalco Santander, establece en primer lugar una caracterización de las principales empresas de servicios públicos de acueducto, aseo y alcantarillado del Área Metropolitana de Bucaramanga (AMB), desde sus capacidades de prestación de servicios en la actualidad. La segunda parte muestra el comportamiento económico de la empresa de servicio público con proyección triple A del AMB, en un posible escenario a futuro de conformación de distrito metropolitano. La tercera parte, desarrolla la prospectiva de la empresa de servicio público, con la capacidad de convertirse en triple A, suministrando servicios continuos con cobertura del AMB, en sinergia con otras entidades, permitiendo hacer frente al crecimiento poblacional, el desarrollo territorial y la proyección a distrito metropolitano, definiendo las variables estratégicas sobre las que se deben actuar en el largo plazo, las cuales tienen una alta influencia en el sistema  y los posibles escenarios a futuro de la organización, de forma que sea una guía para el proceso de planeación y toma de decisiones, que incluya los posibles cambios en el entorno producto de la dinámica regional.

Finalmente, el estudio se podría convertir en un insumo para la propuesta de la Cámara de Comercio de Bucaramanga, sobre la viabilidad de establecer una alternativa de cohesión en el área de servicios públicos para los municipios que conforman el Área Metropolitana de Bucaramanga en su proyección a distrito.

 

This research first establishes a characterization of the main aqueduct, cleaning, and sewerage public service companies of the Bucaramanga Metropolitan Area (AMB), from their current service provision capabilities. The second part shows the economic behavior of the public service company with triple A projection of the AMB, in the territorial development and the projection to the metropolitan district. The third part develops the prospective of the triple A public service companies of the AMB, in front of the territorial development and the projection to the metropolitan district, defining the strategic variables on which they must act in the long term, which have a high influence in the system and the possible future scenarios of the organization so that it is a guide for the planning and decision-making process, which includes possible changes in the environment as a result of territorial development.

Finally, the study could become an input for the Bucaramanga Chamber of Commerce proposal on the feasibility of establishing a cohesion alternative in the public services area for the municipalities that make up the Bucaramanga Metropolitan Area.
