INVESTIGATION OF TRAFFIC COLLISIONS AND ESTABLISHMENT OF CAUSE AND EFFECT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VEHICLES BREAKDOWNS
Authors: Koshkarov A.
Published: August 2021

Issues related to the investigation of traffic collisions in criminal proceedings and establishment of cause and effect relationship between vehicles breakdowns are considered. The purposes and tasks of the vehicle inspection by an investigator are defined. The procedure for the appointment of a technical condition examination in criminal proceedings during the investigation of a traffic collision is indicated. The issues that are resolved while road-accident analysis of vehicles technical condition are examined. The possible conclusions of the forensic examination after establishing the vehicle technical condition at the time of the accident are drawn and evaluation of these findings is given. Investigations and trials on criminal cases related to traffic collisions, as well as investigating authorities and court decisions on the issues of violations by drivers of the requirements of Traffic Rules, Technical Operation Rules, require the mandatory establishment of the systems technical condition that affect the safety of vehicles.
Currently, police officers and investigators do not have a clear, scientifically substantiated methodology for checking the technical condition of vehicle systems, and the protocol form for examining and checking the technical condition of vehicles is imperfect. Many years of forensic examinations experience in forensic institutions of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine and continuous work with these documents indicate that there was almost no case when an inspection report was filled in correctly and contained reasonable and comprehensive information on the technical condition of the vehicle involved in a traffic accident. In connection with the above, the consideration of the traffic accident investigation that arose as a result of a vehicle breakdown is becoming increasingly relevant. In addition, it is advisable to highlight the scientific and technological progress that entails the development of new methods for forensic experts who are involved in criminal proceedings during investigation of traffic collisions. The initiation of criminal proceedings on the fact of a traffic collision and the establishment of cause and effect relationships between vehicle breakdowns has a number of peculiarities inherent only to this corpus delicti, but application of special knowledge in the field of automotive equipment, namely, interaction of investigative actions with forensic experts allows the investigation to establish a cause and effect relationship between identified vehicle breakdowns and the occurrence of a traffic collision, and most importantly to identify that a person driving a vehicle violated Vehicle Operation Rules in the event of a traffic collision.
FORENSIC INNOVATION: CONCEPTS, FUNCTIONS, TASKS AND RESEARCH PROSPECTS
Authors: Shevchuk V.
Published: August 2021

The article is devoted to topical problems of formation of forensic innovation as a new scientific direction in criminalistics. Theoretical and methodological bases for development and formation of forensic innovation, its functions, tasks and prospects of introduction of its provisions in law enforcement practice are investigated, perspective directions for research of the considered scientific concept are outlined.

It’s substantiated that in present-day realities attention should be drawn to research on forensic innovation on the basis of general theoretical approaches which ensure explanation and substantiation of such fundamental principles of any separate scientific theory as its genesis, essence, fact, hypothesis and theoretical construction. It’s noted that the level of formation and validity of any scientific theory, including forensic innovation, is determined by the degree and level of development of its theoretical and methodological foundations. I

t’s stressed that the process of constructing forensic innovation as a weighty forensic theory cannot yet be completed due to the large number of uncoordinated, undeveloped and debatable issues. Therefore, today the concept of forensic innovation has not yet reached the level of a separate forensic theory and is still in the process of forming. Accordingly, it is important to study and reveal patterns of functioning at the theoretical level, all stages of the life cycle of innovations in criminalistics, starting with creation, proposal, implementation, and ending with their application in practice. It’s noted that issues of determining the place of this theory in criminalistics taxonomy, its structure and functions are significant. It’s argued that currently scientific preconditions for the development and formation of forensic innovation are created and such research in modern conditions is a promising innovative direction in the development of criminalistics, which requires further research.

The methodological basis for the development and implementation of forensic innovations in law enforcement are activity, system-structural and technological approaches, the use of which is promising for the formation of a separate forensic theory: forensic innovation. An integrated approach to the development and formation of forensic innovation is the methodological foundation for further research on this issue. New scientific approaches to the solution of researched debatable questions are substantiated and promising directions for research on the specified problems are defined.
PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF CRIMES PRE-TRIAL INVESTIGATION
Authors: Synchuk O.
Published: August 2021

The article is devoted to the problem of a psychological component of crimes pre-trial investigation. The factors of negative impact of circumstances and consequences of illegal actions on the psyche of participants of criminal

proceedings are considered. The need to use knowledge of psychological phenomena and processes in the course of crime investigation by investigators is substantiated.

The activities of investigator are characterized by significant emotional intensity. Taking into account full complexity of investigative activities encompassing a variety of interpersonal interactions, special attention is paid to the issue of psychological training of law enforcement agencies. Long-term perception of antisocial phenomena and communication with representatives of different social classes under conditions of time pressure and strict procedural regulation by investigator can result in increased mental stress in investigator and, as a result, in professional deformation. The investigator, being under the influence of negative emotions, must be able to maintain emotional stability. In this regard, the intellectual, volitional and communicative personal qualities of an investigator are particularly important. Keeping in touch with other participants of criminal proceedings, an investigator must maintain rationalism and composure, avoid formalism and bias. The purpose of such communication is to obtain information contributing to the establishment of truth on a specific criminal proceeding. The main task of an investigator in this process is to establish psychological contact with the use of psychological influence methods.
PROCEDURAL AND NON-PROCEDURAL FORMS OF SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE APPLICATION IN CIVIL AND ECONOMIC PROCEEDINGS
Authors: Petrova I. , Chekin D. , Sylenok K.
Published: August 2021

The article considers types and characteristics of special knowledge as well as legal status of persons applying special knowledge while civil and economic proceedings. The Article purpose is to identify existing gaps in civil and economic procedural legislation in relation to various forms of implementing special knowledge based on the analysis of description of their common features and identification of their application peculiarities in civil and economic proceedings. When considering the comparative legal research method, similarities and differences in entities using special knowledge, namely in a specialist, translator, teacher, were established. The analysis of norms of the current procedural legislation enables to deduce that a number of forms of special knowledge use can be distinguished in civil and economic proceedings, namely: court expertise; competent individuals’ expertise without involving them in a trial; attracting competent persons to participate in civil or economic proceedings; using the results of forensic examinations: forensic reports. The issues of legal regulation for a translator candidate choice in civil or economic proceedings and the problem of translators’ incompetence in legal terminology are identified. Methods for improving participation of translators in the proceedings were established. The opinions and observations of scientists in the field of law on the use of special knowledge in the field of law were analyzed, and the possibility of conducting legal vetting while court proceedings was criticized. It was established that procedural definition of special knowledge must necessarily include their general scientific concept as direct substantive basis for the concept of procedural, and the latter will determine only boundaries and forms of this knowledge special use in civil and economic proceedings, as well as legally significant consequences of such use. The analysis of forms of special knowledge use in civil and economic proceedings provides grounds to consider that, except for special knowledge that is used in the form of forensic examination, other forms are also used which are given a detailed description.

PROBLEMATIC ISSUES AND WAYS FOR THEIR RESOLUTION WHILE RESEARCH ON TAX CREDIT OF VALUE-ADDED TAX (Review Article)
Authors: Fesenko O.
Published: August 2021

The article deals with problematic issues faced by a forensic economist in practice when conducting a forensic economic examination in relation to confirmation of violations established by tax audit reports of the State tax service of Ukraine, particularly tax credit overstatement, which in their essence are legal in nature and require not only knowledge in the field of economics, accounting, tax accounting and reporting, but also legal knowledge.

The Article purpose is to highlight a number of challenging issues that arise during forensic economic examination; ways to resolve them are suggested, at the same time examples from forensic practice are offered.

The analysis of judicial practice and the role of availability of a court judgment concluded between enterprises on invalidation of documents, of the results of handwriting analysis for investigative bodies while appointment of forensic economic examination is substantiated.

According to the results of the carried out research, it was concluded that, in order to verify tax audit reports on violations of tax legislation, in terms of tax credit overstatement which in its essence are of a legal nature, a forensic expert should be provided not only with properly executed primary documents, but also judgment concluded between enterprises on recognition of invalid documents, court verdict on fictitious nature of the entity of economic activity, which became legally binding. Prior to appointment of forensic economic examination, it is expedient to conduct handwriting analysis (in case of signing of tax and expenditure invoices by a non-authorized person).

In questions addressed to a forensic expert-economist, it is useful to take into consideration court judgment and handwriting analysis forensic report. All the above will increase the number of disclosure of economic crimes and provide money to the budget of a country.
LEGAL NATURE OF THE TERM OF PRECIOUS STONES IN FORENSIC EXAMINATION: PROBLEMS AND WAYS FOR THEIR RESOLUTION
Authors: Baranov P. , Kirin R. , Shevchenko S.
Published: August 2021

The article addresses general issues of applying the regulatory adopted term “precious stones” regarding forensic examination practice in Ukraine, including in the field of subsurface resources management and gemological evaluation of jewelery. It is shown that domestic legal framework requires to introduce a separate law on gemstones circulation taking into account general principles of property valuation and consumer rights protection.

The Article Purpose is to formulate an author’s contribution to the analysis of problems connected with disclosure of gemstones legal nature in the field of forensic science and the development of proposals for their possible overcoming.

The necessity in special legal regulation of activity on mining, production, use, storage of gemstones and manufactures thereof, forensic examination and control over operations with it, is defined by intensity of its circulation as well as by the character of legal objects: their rarity in nature, high cost, easy falsification, and, consequently, by increased attention from fraudsters and criminals. The current situation demands to adopt corresponding regulatory measures aimed at ensuring valuables economic use, protecting gemstone consumers from fraud, preventing the use of valuables while legalizing acquired illegally funds.

According to the authors, the article outlines three components of which legal nature of a stone is formed in forensic science: 1) the meaning content in which the term “precious stones” is used in gemological legislation; 2) criteria which are the basis of gemstones classification; 3) unambiguity and clarity of definitions associated with gemstones in forensic legislation.

The term “gemstones” in forensic science has subsidiary meaning, since in this case the stone cost should possess a dominant meaning as an object of forensic gemological analysis.

Existing gemological classifications are not of modern scientific and practical interest, as the lack of a gemstone cost indicator makes them declarative in terms of forensic science.

Forensic gemological analysis should be guided by the requirements of gemological, forensic and procedural branches of legislation, and precious stones acting as its object should be considered as property (goods) which is characterized by specific signs of a physical, economic and legal nature as well as an identifier.

Using Crop Models and Climate Forecasts to Aid in Peanut Crop Insurance Decisions
Authors: Fraisse Clyde W. , Novak James L. , Garcia y Garcia Axel , Jones James W. , Brown Charles M. , Hoogenboom Gerrit
Published: August 2021

Crop insurance is one of the strategies producers can use to reduce risk of income loss due to climate variability. The best approach for reducing risks involves a combination of crop insurance with a pre-harvest marketing plan that includes strategies like hedging and forward contracting. A producer's choice among strategies is often complicated when both price and yield risk are present. However, about 69% of crop failures in the U.S. are because of either drought or excessive moisture (Ibarra and Hewitt, 1999). Are there options for a farmer to reduce these weather and climate-based risks, and can a grower take advantage of climate forecast information to decide about insurance levels? This paper explores this idea for peanuts and provides examples of how to use crop growth simulation models in combination with climate forecasts to decide about coverage levels. This document is CIR 1468, one of a series of the Agricultural and Biological Engineering Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

How Parents and Agents Can Address Bullying with Youth
Authors: Barnett Rosemary V.
Published: August 2021

Recently the American Medical Association (AMA) adopted a new anti-bullying policy that concluded that bullying is not just another childhood behavior that will eventually be outgrown, but rather a public health problem that can have long-term effects for both the bully and the victim. Children who don't escape the cycle of bullying are at higher risk for serious academic, social, emotional, and legal problems. This has been reinforced by a report from the AMA indicating that 7-15% of school-aged children are bullies and one in 10 school children is a victim of bullying (Peck, 2002). This document is FCS2243, one of a series of the Family, Youth and Community Sciences Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Tospoviruses (Family Bunyaviridae, Genus Tospovirus)
Authors: Adkins Scott , Zitter Tom , Momol Tim
Published: August 2021

Viruses in the genus Tospovirus cause significant worldwide crop losses. The genus name is derived from the name of its first member, Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV). Initially observed in Australia in 1915, the spotted wilt disease of tomato was later shown to be of viral origin. The causal agent was designated TSWV, and considered to be the sole member of the tomato spotted wilt group of plant viruses until the early 1990s. At this time, the identification and characterization of several similar viruses, including Impatiens necrotic spot virus (INSV), led to the creation of the plant-infecting Tospovirus genus within the Bunyaviridae family, a large group of predominantly animal-infecting viruses. More than a dozen tospoviruses have since been identified and characterized and previously unknown species of the genus continue to be described on a regular basis. Three tospoviruses, TSWV, INSV and Iris yellow spot virus (IYSV), are known to occur in the US. This document is Fact Sheet PP-212, one of a series of the Plant Pathology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Services, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Published: August 2021

Pemanfaatan serat alam Muntingia calabura sebagai pengisi bahan biokomposit belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal. Penggunaan serat alam ini memiliki potensi yang baik sebagai bahan pengisi biokomposit. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh volume fraksi serat terhadap kekuatan tarik dan permukaan patahan biokomposit Polivinil Alkohol (PVA) dan Muntingia calabura. Volume fraksi serat di dalam PVA divariasikan 0%, 2%, 4%, 6% dan 8% (dari berat kering PVA). Pembuatan biokomposit menggunakan metode penuangan larutan gelatin. Biokomposit dikeringkan dalam suhu 70 ᵒC selama 12 jam. Setelah itu, spesimen biokomposit dipotong sesuai standar American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D882-18. Hasil pengujian tarik menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan volume fraksi serat di dalam PVA mengakibatkan penurunan kekuatan tarik. Nilai kuat tarik tertinggi terdapat pada spesimen film PVA murni adalah 6,8 MPa. Penambahan serat sebesar 2% menyebabkan penurunan sebesar 14,7% dari nilai kuat tarik film PVA. Fenomena tersebut juga terjadi pada penambahan serat 4 – 8% di dalam matriks PVA. Hal tersebut didukung oleh pengataman Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) yang menunjukkan adanya penggumpalan serat di dalam matriks.

AIM: Comparative analysis of post-operative pain between Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy and conventional Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.

Method: Patients suffering from symptomatic cholelithasis were randomly subjected to Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (SILC) and conventional four ports Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (cLC). Data analyzed included duration of surgery, post-operative pain, For assessment of post-operative pain numeric pain scale scoring system was used and pain scoring done at four hours, twelve hours and twenty-four hours post-operatively.

Results: The study included fifty patients operated upon from June, 2014 to May, 2014. Twenty-five patients were subjected to SILC and rest of the twenty-five underwent cLC. Pre-operative characteristics of two groups were similar and there was no significant difference between two groups based on age, sex and Body Mass Index. Post-operative pain score was higher for cLC compared to SILC at four, twelve and twenty-four hours post-operatively. The mean pain score at four hours was 4.64 ± 1.89 for SILC versus 7.72 ± 0.84 for cLC (p-value < 0.0001). While the score at twelve and twenty-four hours were 2.96 ± 1.88 and 1.80 ± 1.44 for SILC compared to 5.08 ± 1.15 and 3.80 ± 1.11 for cLC respectively.

Conclusion: SILC is superior to cLC compared to post-operative pain as per our study.

Displaying the R-Assessment of the Enterprise’s Level of Financial Condition on the Verbal-Numerical Scale
Authors:   Simon Kuznets Kharkiv National University of Economics, Tyzhnenko A. G.
Published: August 2021

The publication considers the features of construction of the so-called «Harrington’s scale», which is widely used for economic research in Ukraine. It is demonstrated that the scale proposed by Harrington cannot be applied for arbitrary economic indicators. For the purposes of this study, an analysis of the applicability of the Harrington’s function for specific economic studies is carried out and it is shown that the «Harrington’s scale» cannot be applied to economic indicators, the increase in the value of which indicates an increase in the «quality» of the functioning of enterprise, for example, such as the «economic potential of the enterprise» or the enterprise’s «level of financial condition» (the latter requires the construction of a verbal scale according to the new probabilistic principle which is considered in this article). The indicator of «level of financial condition» is chosen because, as a rule, the current monitoring of the financial condition of enterprise is to be carried out automatically, by means of the appropriate tools, based on the multi-criteria methods for assessing the level of financial condition. One of these methods is the method of R-assessment of the financial condition of enterprise according to the Sayfullin – Kadykov model, which takes into account five criteria and puts them in line with the R-assessment. The article considers the main provisions of Harrington’s work in order to provide the possibility of correct use of the Harrington’s desirability function for the qualitative assessment of economic indicators, including complex and integral indicators that are used to monitor the financial condition of enterprise. The article proposes another function in place of desirability function, namely the function of distribution of the indicator under research, whether theoretical or empirical. In addition, the limit values that separate the different values of the linguistic variable at the base interval are proposed to be determined according to the statistics of the group of companies to which the enterprise under research belongs, or can be included according to the criterion of homogeneity with any enterprise of the researched group. An example of constructing the correct qualitative scale for a normally distributed variable of «level of financial condition of the enterprise» at the probabilistic level is provided. Attention is drawn to the fact that the boundary values of the qualitative scale significantly depend on the law of distribution of the variable under research.

The article contains theoretical and practical recommendations on analyzing the export-import potential of industrial enterprises in modern conditions; the content of the information-analytical provision for analysis of such a potential is considered. The expediency of organizing the technology of analysis of export-import potential of the enterprise (EIPE) is substantiated according to the following logic of stages: 1) description of this potential on the grounds of signs and formation of a system of indicators; 2) establishing tendencies in changing the values of indicators based on the analysis of their dynamics; 2) comparison of the achieved levels of values with planned or normative (reference), accompanied by the search and detection of reserves and diagnosis of critical situations; 3) determination of the external environmental factors influence; 4) determination of levels of development of structural components of potential on the basis of integral indicators; 5) determination of causal relationships of elemental composition of the potential; 6) determination of the internal environmental factors influence; 7) analysis of dynamics of structural changes in the export-import potential; 8) determination and analysis of reserves for the efficiency of the use of the EIPE; 9) forecasting the values of the EIPE indicators for a better understanding of the changes taking place. In the information provision of analyzing the EIPE it is recommended to include partial and integral indicators that form a hierarchical system of indicators to describe this potential; criteria to determine the degree of achievement of the goal of functioning and development; references of the indicators that allow comparing and carrying out an analysis. The system of signs of the export-import potential in general should be presented as complex and elementary features, namely: signs of structural components of the potential; signs of mechanisms for implementing the potential; signs of processes belonging to the potential; signs of the external environment factors influence on the potential; signs of the internal environment factors influence on the potential. A list of the main analytical tasks in the analysis of export-import potential together with methods of their solution is proposed. Such information and analytical provision represents a scientific basis and has practical significance in the management of the EIPE.
Disparities in the Development of the Global Trade System: The Causes and Consequences

The article generalizes the main approaches to analyzing the nature of global disparities in the development of the global trade system, their negative consequences, and opportunities for regulation. It is proved that global economic disparities have both objective and subjective origin, can be initiated by individual countries, groups of countries and international economic organizations, are closely related to non-economic aspects of the world economy and are clearly manifested not only in the financial sphere, but also in international trade. The article substantiates that, taking into account peculiarities of the current foreign economic policy of sovereign countries, three main tendencies can be distinguished, which are directed towards protecting national interests in the context of the crisis of the global trade system, and which, in fact, represent global disparities in its development: protectionism, regionalism, and transregionalism. It is identified that, speaking in economic terms, the growing external interdependence does not bring together, but, on the contrary, subordinates, turns regions and countries of the world into dependent ones; does not overcome, but fixes the peripheral position of individual countries; does not violate, but strengthens the hierarchicality of the world economy, which is caused by its internal logic. It is concluded that in order to eliminate or mitigate global disparities in the global trade system, it is important to use new institutional mechanisms in the development of which countries with emerging markets should take an active part, which means there is a need for a flexible combination of liberalization with import substitution and elements of protectionism.
