APPROPRIATE PROCEDURE FOR OBTAINING EVIDENCE IN THE CRIMINAL PROCESS OF UKRAINE THROUGH THE PRISM OF COURT DECISIONS
Authors:   State Research Institute, Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, Anheleniuk Anna-Mariia
Published: October 2021

Recently in Ukraine, the methods of obtaining evidence during the pre-trial investigation have to to be improved, both in terms of their normative consolidation and the practice of application. Ways to improve criminal procedural activity should be planned taking into consideration the analysis of judicial practice, in particular the analysis of the evaluation of evidence in court for their relevance and admissibility. The purpose of the work is to improve the receipt of evidence in the criminal process of Ukraine in an appropriate manner, which will be a guarantee of their admissibility in court. The following methods were used: comparative – legal – to compare normative – legal regulations and court decisions relating to the recognition of evidence as appropriate and admissible in a particular criminal proceeding; formal-legal – to determine the decisions of the court concerning the evaluation of evidence in criminal proceedings; methods of logical and systematic analysis – to develop an effective proposal to improve the methods of obtaining evidence during the pre-trial investigation in Ukraine. Results. It is proposed to apply rapid tests to determine the drug substance during the detention of a person. In addition, it is proposed to ammend to Part 1 of Art. 233 of the Criminal Procedural Code of Ukraine, which regulates the right to break into the house or other property of a person with the voluntary consent of the person who owns them. It is proposed to consolidate the legal status of such a consent in order to avoid ambiguity of interpretation of the concept of voluntariness in court, in particular voluntary consent should be written in the form of a statement by the person himself with the obligatory indication of the relevant object of penetration. Conclusions. The appropriate method of obtaining evidence involves compliance with the procedural order of investigative (interrogative) or procedural actions. An indication of the proper way to obtain evidence is the correct choice of a specific action or a set of actions necessary for a quality investigation of criminal proceedings.
PSYCHO-EMOTIONAL TENSION AS A DETERMINANT OF PROFESSIONAL DEFORMATION OF EMPLOYEES OF THE NATIONAL POLICE OF UKRAINE
Authors:   Lviv State University of Internal Affairs, Kisil Zoriana , Kisil Roman-Volodymyr
Published: October 2021

The article states that in the context of the formation of a modern legal system, democratization of law-enforcement institutions, proclamation of a course of maximum efficiency of the rights and freedoms of citizens protection, one of the leading priorities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine is the procedure of the creation of a highly professional staff capable of effectively solving law enforcement tasks. Transformation of public administration, profound changes in the personnel structure of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, changes in the essence, goals and functional orientation of law enforcement activities require an expansion of the scope of research on the problems of professionalization in this area. Activity is an integral part of a person's lifestyle, an important factor in its formation and development as a member of society and an individual. Professional tasks execution, along with the maximum concentration on the positive results, can lead to side effects. One of them is professional deformation, which objectively represents not a fatal, but a really probable expense, the so-called shadow side of the profession. Subjectively, it is a tribute that a person unwillingly pays for excessive specialization, unquenchable passion for activities, the maximum level of demands to herself. Professional deformation can occur as a result of any activity. But most often, according to the different research, it affects representatives of such professions that involve activities of the type "man-man": teachers, actors, service workers, lawyers. This problem is highly important for law enforcement agencies because their representatives are dealing with intense deformation influence. Professional deformation as one of the complex and multisided problems of law enforcement requires a comprehensive, interdisciplinary solution of legal, managerial, psychological and other tasks. The professionalism of law enforcement personnel lags behind the growing demands of reality, so today, under the influence of a complex operational environment and criminalization of state life, the research under such problem of professionalization of personnel as the professional deformation of the employee and related problems of organization and management in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine is becoming increasingly important.

Published: October 2021

Background and Aim: Needlestick injury (NSJ) is a common occupational health problem among dental healthcare workers, putting them at significant risk for blood-borne infections. This study aimed to investigate occupational exposure to NSJ and the psychological factors associated with it among dentistry students. Methods & Materials: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out on students in the Arak school of dentistry training curriculum in the last three years in 2018. The questionnaires included questions about students’ awareness of NSJ conditions, the frequency of vaccinations, and antibody titration tests. The SCL-90 (Symptom checklist-90) questionnaire assessed psychological factors after NSJ in four dimensions of anxiety, phobia, self-morbidity, and depression. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistical methods and a chi-square test. Ethical Considerations: The study was approved by the Arak University of Medical Sciences (Code: IR.ARAKMU.REC.1397.269). Results: Of the eighty students surveyed, 59 students had experienced NSJ at least once. However, only 25.4% of students had reported the NSJ occurrence. The highest incidence rate of NSJ was reported in the endodontics section. In addition, 80% of students had received hepatitis B vaccinations. Based on the SCL-90 test, the anxiety dimension was more affected by NSJ than the other dimensions. Conclusion: Despite the high prevalence of NSJ in dental students, the rate of reporting after the accident is very low. Also, due to the lack of attention to vaccination in some students, there is a need for more infection control training. Based on the SCL-90 test, the occurrence of NS is effective in causing psychological problems.
TRAFFIC ACCIDENT POINT ANALYSIS, ON PRIMARY ARTERIAL ROAD-SUKABUMI DISTRICT
Authors: Paikun Paikun , Faris Wahyudi , Rozandi Ardin
Published: October 2021

The increasing number of residents every year causes the need for transportation to also increase, this also occurs on the Sukabumi-Bogor Primary Arterial Road which is a road with a fairly high volume of traffic flow, in addition because the industrial center and tourism sector are located right on the national road, Insufficient geometric roads caused by the increasing number of vehicles is also a factor that affects the high number of traffic accidents along the Cibadak – Bogor Road. The purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics of the accident-prone areas (blackspots) on the Jl. Surya Kencana, Pamuruyan Village, Cibadak District - Jl. Raya Ciutara, Pondok Kaso Landeuh Village, Parungkuda District. The method used in this study is the EAN (Equivalent Accident Number) method and the Cussum (Cumulative Summery) method. From the results of the weighting using the EAN method, it was identified that STA 1, STA 4, STA 5, and STA 6 were blackspots. Meanwhile, the Cussum method identified STA 1, STA 4, STA 5, STA 6, and STA 9 as blackspots. The right type of handling for accident-prone locations from the observations, among others, is making a thunder strip facility close to the zebra cross area to reduce vehicle speed and installing a safety fence on the shoulder of the road so as to minimize road crossings that directly cross the road without using zebra cross facilities.
MARKETING BUDGET FOR LAUNCHING A STARTUP PRODUCT
Authors: Verbytska Anna
Published: October 2021

The article discusses the approaches for marketing budgeting of startups at a launch stage. There is no single efficient approach to the generation of a startup marketing budget. The selection of the approach will depend on the unique characteristics of the company and product, the target audience and its geography, income, as well as the source of funding (own funds, investor funds, grants, loans, etc.). Marketing and advertising costs in the budget of modern startups have grown significantly over the past ten years due to the following factors: platform consolidation, competition on paid advertising channels, ad blocking and the availability of marketing tools, increased competition, and market saturation. The article summarizes the recommendations that will help to distribute the startup marketing costs effectively. The proposed principles of startup marketing budgeting should be adapted to the conditions of the market environment and the research results of the target audience.

Life and academic activities of professors emeriti and retired professors on University of Maribor
Authors: Mičetić-Turk Dušanka , Šikić-Pogačar Maja , Turk Zmago
Published: October 2021

Higher education lecturers go through a long developmental path from graduate students to academic title of professor. On this path, the most
delicate period is the retirement. The age of 60 or 65, which is approximately the same as the retirement age in most developed countries, is supposed to be the onset of old age. Today, when we live longer and healthier, irreparable damage would occur if society and the state didn’t take advantage of the knowledge, wisdom and skills that senior professors have accumulated throughout their careers. The vast majority of senior professors could still contribute and participate in the development of society. In our article, we presented the results of a
survey regarding the academic and life activities of senior professors,
members of the Center for Retired and Distinguished higher education teachers of the University of Maribor. The results showed that the vast majority of retired and professors emeriti were still active in academic
life and contributed to the development and functioning of the University.
The Postmodern Multi-Layered Narrative of Existential Feminist Subjectivity: The Case of Margaret Atwood’s Alias Grace
Authors: AI-Harshan Hazmah Ali
Published: October 2021

Postmodern fiction demonstrates a suspicion about the narrative status of history. Arguably, its project is to reveal the illusion of truth in history because of history's reliance on texts. There is no doubt that historical events occur, but their transmutation into “fact” and their transmission to posterity are limited by their narrativization and textualization. In the Afterword to her novel, Alias Grace (1996) – a fictionalized narrative centering on a real-life person embroiled in a double murder in 1843 – Margaret Atwood reveals her interest in this problem with “history”. She tells the reader, “I have of course fictionalized historical events … as did many commentators on this case who claimed to be writing history”. The purpose of this paper is thus to consider Margaret Atwood’s novel, Alias Grace as a postmodern fiction that seeks to reveal the illusion of truth in history through her use of innovatory narrative techniques. Mikhail Bakhtin’s notion of the “double-voiced” is used to examine the permitted, surface-level utterances – and the necessarily conflicting actual narratives – of the two narrators in Atwood’s novel. However, the term is also applied in the broader feminist/theoretical context of the silencing of the female subject more generally. Atwood establishes a fragmented, multiplicity narrative. This arises from the reported and somewhat self-aware observations of the eponymous Grace and a doctor named Simon Jordan. Seemingly, the author’s own authority does not exist. Atwood thus exploits the slippery nature of language that does not have some kind of “truth” imposed upon it. The historical “truth” about Grace Marks is never revealed, not because Atwood is “leaving it to the reader's imagination” but because Atwood plays with the problem of personality as a social construction. Almost invisible as “author”, Atwood nevertheless reveals just how language can be manipulated and made to conform to a certain version of ‘truth’ and ‘reality’. However, in Alias Grace, Atwood also recuperates the voice of a supposedly murderous woman by revising the myth of woman’s silence and subjugation. Because her speaking voices are required to practice “double-voicing” to be heard, through presenting the reader with both voices, Atwood recuperates the moments of existential liberation to be heard from emergent voices.
Modeling the British Pound Sterling to Nigerian Naira Exchange Rate During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Obite Chukwudi Paul , Nwosu Ugochinyere Ihuoma , Osuagwu Prince Henry , Onukwube Obioma Gertrude
Published: October 2021

The British Pound Sterling (GBP) to Nigerian Naira (NGN) exchange rate has been grossly affected by the Coronavirus 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic. It has become pertinent to identify robust models that will help to cope with the variability associated with the pandemic. Many original studies found the ARIMA method to be highly useful in modeling and forecasting exchange rates. However, not much work has been done on modeling the GBP and NGN exchange rate during the covid-19 pandemic using machine learning models. This study focuses on modeling the exchange rate between the GPB and NGN during the period of the Covid-19 pandemic by adopting the process of model comparison using the Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), and Random Forest models to obtain an optimal model and forecasts from the model. Secondary data of the GBP to NGN exchange rate within the period of the Covid-19 pandemic from exchangerate.org.uk were used. The two machine learning models (ANN and random forest) performed better than the ARIMA model. The RF, though performed well in the training set, was outperformed in the test set by the ANN model. The ANN model was chosen to model and forecast the GBP and NGN exchange rate during the Covid-19 pandemic. The predicted fall in the GBP to NGN exchange rate to 570 by December 2021 and 575 by September 2022 using the ANN model will have a huge effect on the economy of the country as the country depends largely on imported goods. The Government and policymakers must put in place structural measures that will avoid the looming crisis.

Se encontró que apenas el 15% de los estudiantes ha participado en actividades de emprendimiento, además de que solo el 25% de los jóvenes de enseñanza media y superior ha tenido negocios (pero únicamente el 11% de estos siguen operando). El miedo a fracasar se detectó con mayor prevalencia en las mujeres que estudian el bachillerato o licenciatura, aunado a que la sensación de fracaso se presentó en jóvenes que provienen de familias de sectores vulnerables. Se concluye que el instituto tiene que poner mayor atención a las mujeres para capacitarlas, así como mantener y reforzar sus acciones orientadas a la educación empresarial y formación del espíritu empresarial.

Este artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación cualitativa en la que se utilizó la investigación-acción participativa con docentes y estudiantes universitarios con el propósito de mejorar la docencia, ya que, según Vargas, Chiroque y Vega (2016), hay un compromiso fuerte por comprender y transformar la práctica docente de manera continua a través de la indagación y reflexión colectiva para hacer frente a la docencia tradicional e individualista que afecta la formación profesional de los estudiantes. La investigación tuvo una duración de dos años y se desarrolló en cuatro fases, según Colmenares (2012): la fase I, en la que descubrió la problemática; en la fase II se diseñó el plan de acción; en la fase III se puso en acción lo planeado; en la fase IV se realizó la reflexión sobre la solución al problema y las fases anteriores. Se aplicaron diferentes técnicas de investigación según cada fase, como grupo focal, entrevista y encuesta. Se identifica a la investigación-acción participativa como un medio que propicia la reflexión, participación colectiva, integración del personal, diálogo pedagógico, la construcción de saberes didácticos y la generación de conocimiento pedagógico que no solo influye en la mejora de la docencia sino en la transformación de la vida universitaria.

Un medio de divulgación de una institución de educación superior es la expresión de su capacidad en investigación, trabajo académico y nivel de convocatoria. Así mismo, de su visión e imaginarios sobre mundos posibles en tan restrictivos momentos globales.

Agunkuyâa, como revista de la Facultad de Ingeniería y Ciencias Básicas, en su nueva estructura multicampus, no sólo ha cambiado su imagen, portada y estilo de diagramación, sino que cuenta con un nuevo Comité Editorial y Científico. Un cambio gráfico y conceptual inspirado en los pueblos originarios de Colombia, en especial los que habitan la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, que en su diversidad coexisten en tan único territorio colombiano.

En este orden de ideas, parte de la producción académica de los profesores, estudiantes y administrativos de los campus de Bogotá, Pereira y Valledupar, será publicada en nuestra revista, como muestra de unión con un fin común: cualificar la docencia, generar conocimiento, desarrollar tecnología y aplicar la ingeniería en la resolución de problemas de un país necesitado.

El aprovechamiento de los residuos biodegradables provenientes del procesamiento de frutas y verduras representa una gran oportunidad de disminuir el impacto ambiental generado por estos. Este es el caso de los residuos de la piña que sirven de materia prima para la obtención de diferentes compuestos incluyendo el ácido láctico, insumo de gran importancia en diferentes industrias.  Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo analizar las tendencias de la publicación de artículos relacionados con la obtención de ácido láctico a partir del uso de la piña y sus residuos como sustrato de partida.  Se utilizaron 87 artículos obtenidos mediante una ecuación de búsqueda en la base de datos Scopus (Elsevier, B.V., 2021) publicados entre el 2010 y 2020.  Aunque no se observa una tendencia definida en la distribución de los documentos por año, se percibe un gran interés en el tema, el 2020 fue el año de mayor actividad científica (15 publicaciones); estos trabajos aplican en diferentes campos del conocimiento donde predomina el campo investigativo de inmunología y microbiología, seguido de ciencia de materiales y en una menor proporción agricultura y ciencias biológicas.  Los países con más publicaciones son Malasia y Tailandia con 15 documentos.  En cuanto a los microorganismos más estudiados para la obtención del ácido láctico mediante un proceso biotecnológico se identificaron el Lactobacillus plantarum y Escherichia coli. El aumento en el número de publicaciones muestra un interés en la búsqueda de alternativas ambientales para la valorización de estos residuos agroindustriales para la obtención de compuestos de interés y de aplicación en las áreas farmacéutica, cosmética e industrial, entre otras.

Authors: Kim Myungjin , Lee Seunghyun , Lew Helen
Published: October 2021

Purpose: To investigate the postoperative changes in diplopia and evaluate factors that affect diplopia after isolated inferior orbital wall fracture.Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 200 patients who underwent reconstruction surgery for isolated inferior orbital wall fracture between March 2001 and December 2020. Diplopia was categorized into peripheral, central, and full-degree types based on the history and binocular single vision. The natural course of diplopia was analyzed pre-operatively and at 1 day, 6 weeks, and 6 months postoperatively. We analyzed the orbital computed tomography images to determine fracture size (small, medium, or large), fracture site (anterior, middle, posterior, or mixed), extraocular muscle (EOM) size (swelling or deformity), EOM site (incarcerated or prolapsed), and EOM tenting.Results: Diplopia was seen in 144 out of 200 patients (72.0%) before surgery; peripheral diplopia was seen in 57 patients (39.6%), central diplopia in 46 (24.3%), and full-degree diplopia in 20 (13.9%). Pre-operative diplopia differed according to the pre-operative limitation of range of motion (LOM) (p < 0.001) and EOM site (p = 0.022). Pre-operative diplopia type differed according to the LOM direction (p = 0.018) and EOM size (p = 0.020). Diplopia persisted in 33 patients (16.5%) 6 months after the surgery. Recovery was faster in patients with peripheral diplopia compared to those with central or full-degree diplopia.Conclusions: The presence of diplopia was associated with the pre-operative LOM and EOM site but the type of diplopia was associated with LOM direction and EOM size. These factors can be used to predict the progression of diplopia in patients with isolated inferior orbital wall fracture.
The Effect of Physical Eye Examinations on Job Options
Authors: Kim Ungsoo Samuel
Published: October 2021

Purpose: To investigate physical ophthalmological parameters relevant to job choice.Methods: I analyzed the ophthalmological demands imposed on those engaged in military service and on applicants for army officer, air force officer, naval officer, railroad officer, firefighting officer, police officer, state public officer, and pilot positions; the visual requirements for a driver’s license were also examined. Visual dysfunction was classified into loss of visual acuity, visual field defects, refractive errors, color vision disorders, strabismus, and other disorders. Additional restrictions imposed by each occupation were investigated.Results: Various standards were imposed on the occupational groups. Applicants to the Air Force Academy required 1.0 visual acuity; the visual acuity for applicants to the military and naval academies were ≥0.6, and those for fire and police personnel ≥0.8. The general public official regulations do not mention visual acuity. In terms of visual field defects, such defects must be <33% for firefighters and railroad drivers; no clear standard was set for other occupations. The importance of color vision differed by job type; pilots and railroad drivers must have full color vision. In terms of refractive error and strabismus, the standards differed among occupations.Conclusions: As the ophthalmological standards vary extensively by occupation, both ophthalmologists and clients must be aware of this information. The scientific basis of the various standards requires attention.
