Published: December 2018

Action video game players (AVGPs) display superior performance in various aspects of cognition, especially in perception and top-down attention. The existing literature has examined these performance almost exclusively with stimuli and tasks devoid of any emotional content. Thus, whether the superior performance documented in thecognitive domain extend to the emotional domain remains unknown. We present two cross-sectional studies contrasting AVGPs and non-video game players (NVGPs) in their ability to perceive facial emotions. Under an enhanced perception account,AVGPs should outperform NVGPs when processing facial emotion. Yet, alternativeaccounts exist. For instance, under some social accounts, exposure to action videogames, which often contain violence, may lower sensitivity for empathy-relatedexpressions such as sadness, happiness, and pain while increasing sensitivity toaggression signals. Finally, under the view that AVGPs excel at learning new tasks (incontrast to the view that they are immediately better at all new tasks), the use of stimuli that participants are already experts at predicts little to no group differences. Study 1 uses drift-diffusion modeling and establishes that AVGPs are comparable to NVGPs in every decision-making stage mediating the discrimination of facial emotions, despite showing group difference in aggressive behavior. Study 2 uses the reverse inference technique to assess the mental representation of facial emotion expressions, and again documents no group differences. These results indicate that the perceptual benefits associated with action video game play do not extend to overlearned stimuli such as facial emotion, and rather indicate equivalent facial emotion skills in AVGPs and NVGPs.
Blowing in the wind? The effect of weather on the intensity and spatial distribution of crime
Authors: Hart Rannveig , Pedersen Willy , Skardhamar Torbjørn
Published: January 2019

Despite an extensive literature on weather and crime, the magnitude of weather effects on crime and their implications for practical policing remain unclear. Similarly, the effects of weather on the location of crime have barely been explored empirically. We investigated how weather influences the intensity and spatial distribution of crime in Oslo, the capital of Norway. Geocoded locations of criminal offences were combined with data on temperature, wind, and rain. We used negative binomial count models to assess the effect of weather on the intensity of crime and generalized additive models (GAMs) to test for spatial variations. The intensity and spatial distribution of crime were not very sensitive to weather in Oslo. The largest effect was for drug crimes, for which maximum relative to minimum temperature was related to a single incident increase every six days. No effects were found for dislocation in the spatial models. In Oslo, Norway, weather conditions are of little importance for practical policing. The effects of weather on the intensity of crime are miniscule, and effects on the location of crime even smaller.

Published: January 2019

Purpose: It has been suggested that the media influences beliefs regarding ideal body appearance and drive for muscularity whilst also offering recommendations for achieving this; most commonly heavy load free weight resistance training (RT). However, evidence for media effects are inconsistent in the literature. This study investigated this ‘lift big-get big’ culture and effects of imagery on males’ beliefs regarding RT. Method: An online survey was conducted with male participants (N = 110) randomised to different images (hyper-muscular/lean/control) and RT information (‘lift big-get big’/‘evidence based RT’/control). Results: Descriptive data suggested belief in necessity of heavy loads and free weights was pervasive. There was a small significant effect of condition for multivariate analysis of beliefs regarding RT. Univariate analyses showed significant effects of condition regarding the importance of free weights and heavy loads for strength, and free weights for hypertrophy. Small to moderate effects were found comparing ‘evidence-based RT’ with a hyper-muscular physique to ‘lift big-get big’ conditions with both hyper-muscular and lean physiques, the latter more likely to agree free weights and heavy loads are necessary for strength. A small effect was found comparing ‘lift big-get big’ conditions with both hyper-muscular and lean physiques and the control condition, the former more likely to agree free weights are necessary for hypertrophy. Conclusions: Although hyper-muscular bodies alone did not influence RT beliefs, new information i.e. ‘evidence-based RT’ combined with a hyper-muscular physique had a small effect. The ‘lift big-get big’ culture is perhaps pervasive enough that most conditions merely reinforced existing beliefs.

Authors: Gunawan Fahmi , Alimin Alimin
Published: December 2018

Humor is important among educators to refresh their mind from busy work, strengthen friendship and interpersonal relationship, create happiness, and to improve working performance and cooperation of both personal and professional matters. This study aims to examine the humor in the perspective of linguistics and psychology, especially the semantic aspect among colleagues of lecturers in Islamic universities of Indonesia. A qualitative-descriptive method was employed to analyze data which were collected through participants’ observation and in-depth interview. The results indicate that to create humor from a linguistic perspective, lecturers used polysemy and homonym aspects as part of the language game. Polysemy is only a word while homonym is a word, abbreviation, and acronym. The words that indicate polysemy is margacinta, hawa, and kopi, while the words that indicate homonyms in the form of words maroko, farj, and tabrakan. On the other hand, the abbreviation homonymy is found in the phrases of peraturan pemerintah and pembimbing akademik and the acronyms are found in words akper, jatol, jaka, marisa and jelita. This language game then creates a joyful atmosphere among lecturers which ultimately affects their interpersonal relationships. The proximity of interpersonal relations also has implications for better employment relations and increased productivity to do works assigned to them. Finally, this research confirms that language games such as polysemy and homonymy can also be used to create humor aimed not only to refresh mind but also to create happiness and improve work performance to increase productivity in universities.Keywords: Humor, happiness, relationship, lecturer, Islamic Higher Education.
Students' Writing Errors and What Lies Beyond Them
Authors: Imaniar Fahmy
Published: December 2018

Writing in second language is demanding that leads learners to make errors in their performance. Fortunately, the view of error has changed into a way of understanding second language acquisition and its practice. Error analysis is an approach of SLA to learn the errors made by the second language learners. However, knowing the errors made is not enough, therefore, it is important to see the factors beyond the errors. This present study aims at knowing what writing errors the learners make and what the most common error occurs are. Furthermore, this study explored what factor lies beyond those errors. Through mixed method design as well as Error Analysis (EA) approach, this study was conducted in one learning course in Sidoarjo, East Java, Indonesia. Through this study, it was revealed that omission was the type of error mostly made. Furthermore, intralingual and interlingual factors were the ones beyond the errors. It is expected that this study will contribute to the knowledge and practice on the fields of not only Second Language Acquisition (SLA) but also English Language Teaching (ELT) involving teachers and students.

Biosorption of Methylene Blue from Aqueous Solution Using Mixed Algae
Authors: Abbas Najim Aya , A. Mohammed Ahmed
Published: December 2018

A mixture of algae biomass (Chrysophyta, Cyanophyta, and Chlorophyte) has been investigated for its possible adsorption removal of cationic dyes (methylene blue, MB). Effect of pH (1-8), biosorbent dosage (0.2-2 g/100ml), agitated speed (100-300), particle size (1304-89μm), temperature (20-40˚C), initial dye concentration (20-300 mg/L), and sorption–desorption were investigated to assess the algal-dye sorption mechanism. Different pre-treatments, alkali, protonation, and CaCl2 have been experienced in order to enhance the adsorption capacity as well as the stability of the algal biomass. Equilibrium isotherm data were analyzed using Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin models. The maximum dye-sorption capacity was 26.65 mg/g at pH= 5, 250 rpm, 89μm, 25˚C, and 50 mg/L as initial concentration. Four kinetic models were tested, pseudo first order, pseudo second order, intra- particle diffusion and Elovich model. Taking into account the analysis of the (SSR and X2), the data were best fitted to Temkin isotherm model. The pseudo-second order with higher coefficient of determination fitted the data very well. Thermodynamic parameters (ΓG0, ΓH0, ΓS0, Ea and S*) at temperature ranges of 293–313 K demonstrated that biosorption is an endothermic, spontaneous reaction and higher solution temperature favors MB removal by adsorption onto algae biomass. Results show that adsorption- desorption process lasts for five cycle before losing its efficiency and the recovery efficiency increased up to 80.52%.

SPECIFIC STUDIES IN THE STRUCTURE OF GENERAL CRIMINALISTIC THEORY
Authors: Zhuravel V. A.
Published: January 2019

Conceptual approaches to formation and application of certain criminalistic doctrines (theories) as scientific constructions forming the basis of criminalisctic general theory structure and developing the level of theoretical and methodological basis of this science are considered. The author's opinion of Specific Criminalisctic Doctrine (Theory) concept is offered and proposals are made regarding systematization of specific criminalisctic studies, their place in the structure of the criminalistic general theory. It is proposed to allocate two blocks in the structure of the general theory: 1) criminalistic science based essentials including specific criminalistic doctrines (theories) of general scientific level about object, subject, methods, scope of research, system, nature, conceptual apparatus and criminalistic categories (Criminalistic language), its interscientific relations and place in the system of knowledge, development history and the present state; 2) criminalistic theories (doctrines) of a separate scientific level relating to research of patterns that are part of the research subject of criminalistics reveal its essence and specifics. It is emphasized that regularity nature exploring each of specific criminalistic doctrines (theories) determines the order of their ordering in the structure of general theory. Thus between subjects of general criminalistic theory and specific criminalistic doctrines (theories) there are relations of subordination of the whole and part. It is noted that modern system of specific criminalistic doctrines (theories) is dynamic and its improvement is conditioned by the needs of judicial and investigative practice, by the development of related knowledge branches, by the general theory and the most specific criminalistic doctrines, by the relation change and relationships between them. Criteria that should correspond to a specific criminalistic doctrine (theory) are defined. In particular, attention was drawn to the fact that each specific criminalistic doctrine (theory) should have object, subject and research method, reveal its content and nature of relations with other doctrines (theories), define the purpose, tasks, functions and place in criminalistic system, be formed on a certain scientific hypothesis, have necessary empirical basis, as well as the corresponding degree of consolidation determining the possibility of identifying certain regularities expanding and clarifying the subject of criminalistic science in general. Controversial issues regarding this problem are separated; optimizing scientific development ways in this field of knowledge are outlined.
ESSENCE OF CRIMINALISTIC TACTICS
Authors: Terehovich V. N. , Nimande E. V.
Published: January 2019

Performing of criminal procedure activities during pre-trial procedure (investigative activities) in order to find and fix (according to criminal procedure) traces linked to criminal act event, compiling and checking of necessary evidence of corpus delicti presence and other circumstances linked to this event forms essence of any investigation of criminal offence. Modern system of investigative actions in Criminal procedure in Latvia is restricted to the following list of investigative actions: interrogation, questioning, face-to-face interrogation, inspection, exhumation, examination, investigative experiment, checking evidence in place, identification, search, seizure and expertise. Besides the list of investigative activities in Latvia there are also normative regulations about general requirements for their performing. Apart from expertise all investigative actions allow direct perception and fixation of criminal act traces by a person realizing investigation. Expertise is based on the mediated knowledge acquisition about criminal act traces. A person performing criminal investigation this knowledge receives with the help of an expert producing special study. The theoretical bases of all investigative actions are modern theories of observation, experiment, comparison, measurement and modeling. Type and content of a separate investigative action which is determined normatively in a given state is the determining factor in the designation and definition of its tactics. Totality of tactic regularities of performing specific investigative activities is forming criminalistic tactics. Therefore criminalistic tactics can be defined as chapter of special part of criminalistic theory describing and explaining regularities of performing investigative activities. Attempts by some authors to "embed" into criminalistic terminology such terms as judicial tactics, prosecutor's tactics, advocacy tactics and other similar "novels" have nothing to do with criminal investigation within the modern criminal procedure and do not belong to criminalistics. Use of such terms in scientific papers on criminalistics should be evaluated as obstruction of criminalistic terminology.
TACTICAL DECISIONS MAKING IN THEORY OF CRIMINALISTICS: PROBLEMS OF ACCEPTANCE THEIRS

Published: January 2019

This article considers the stages of making tactical decisions whole determining circumstances of a criminal offense, which are logically interrelated between one another. Author presents the following stages: a) analysis of information that can include information on methods of preparation, execution and hiding offense; objectives and subjective attitude of the suspect to the offense execution; his behavior while the offense execution and during the pre-trial and trial investigation; regarding persons who oppose the circumstances of the offense determination; regarding the means and methods necessary for the adoption and decision implementation; concerning the predictable solution result; b) setting the goal of tactical effect that involves seeing the final decision result while determining offense circumstances; c) formulating of the task to be solved that is specified in the context of current investigative situation; task formulating includes information on the object of tactical influence, main of which are: investigative situation, activity planning, actions related to the preparation and conduct of an investigative (search) action, either a system of investigative (search) actions or a tactical operation, etc.; d) determination of the means and methods for task solving, to which the author refers: tactical maneuver, the system of tactical maneuvers, investigative (search) action, system of investigative (search) actions, tactical operation, etc.; e) choice of a tactical solution from the possible alternatives suggests determining the optimal variant of a tactical solution using selected method; e) decision implementation involves theoretical structure transformation of the decision into actual actions of investigative (judicial) activity subject. According to the author this sequence is due to the existing investigative situation and is always unchanged.
PRINCIPLES OF ORGANIZATION AND FUNCTIONING OF AUTOMATED SYSTEMS IN FORENSIC EXPERT ACTIVITY
Authors: Popovich E. N.
Published: January 2019

This article presents problems related to understanding, classification and implementation of the principles of organization and operation of automated systems in forensic expert activity. The basis of the classification is adoption of systems that can be used in activities of forensic science institutions. Depending on the destination, information systems differentiate into the following types: documentary and factographic. Forensic science institutions mainly use factographic information systems in their activities. Each information system, depending on the purpose of creation, can be constructed according to certain principles. We have provided a detailed analysis of such fundamental principles of automated system activity, namely: principle of legality; principle of information selection; principle of using hardware and software modules; principle of the possibility of step-by-step creating an information system; principle of simplicity and flexibility in terms of specific requirements of concrete information system application; principle of system acceptance for user of the "human – machine" dialogue; principle of distribution of information support; principle of task originality; principle of structural organization; principle of system approach; principle of combining the preparation of primary and machine documents; the principle of consistency of bandwidth of individual parts of a system; principle of data bank security; principle of using a professional language, etc. Author's definition of legality in forensic expert activity is presented that is understood as a complex social and legal phenomenon which main criterion is the legality category consisting of a set of subjective rights reflected and fixed in current legislation, formed as a result of objective social development.

Modern progress in forensic molecular genetic examination allow to obtain information about a particular person using traces variety of biological origin especially while committing grave crimes against human life and health, that are usually found at the scene and belong to a human body. A significant advantage of this method under crime investigation is precisely the safe exclusion of suspected persons not involved in the commission of a crime, in identifying those who committed a crime with a high probability level. At the present stage of forensic molecular genetic examination development there are significant gaps in legislation that are solved by adopting relevant normative and legal acts and improving existing ones. Effective method for of DNA analysis development is the creation of appropriate bases of genetic features of a person. However, the legislative consolidation of this process should take place in the context of respecting and protecting personal rights. However, terms of performing molecular genetic examination significantly exceed the terms of pre-trial investigation. This problem can be solved by expanding network of laboratories that perform such examination. Despite presence of a small number of problems, it is possible to affirm that DNA analysis is the most effective and reliable of all known methods of person identification at the present stage. At present, expert molecular genetic analysis develops not only as a section of molecular genetic research but also as a complete element of criminalistic knowledge that is aimed at investigating and disclosing crimes. Therefore, implementation of molecular genetic research methods into the practice of law enforcement agencies in Ukraine will significantly increase investigation effectiveness of many serious crimes against person.

The article discusses the possibilities of solving linguistic (authorship analyses and semantic textual) tasks. It is pointed out the gaps in the normative legal acts that regulate the forensic expert activities and the need to resolve these contradictions. The examples from expert practice the approaches to the linguistic (authorship analyses) research are demonstrated and the form of expert conclusions, the wording of which is presented taking into account the state of development of linguistic examination. It is noted that the likely form of conclusions is associated with a lack of development and different approaches to the study of problems of gender, age, etc., which are studied in related sciences. The state of development of linguistic examination of written speech at the present stage is described and new research directions are indicated. The developed techniques that can be used in expert practice are listed, and promising areas in the field of linguistic research are indicated. The objects, the study of which is caused by the needs of the judicial-investigative practice, and its are currently not well understood are given. These include SMS messages, Internet correspondence, e-mail letters, etc. The difficulties of research of these objects are noted and it is indicated that the data of related sciences contain insufficiently studied material regarding the communicative study of these objects. However, the needs of both expert and judicial-investigative practices dictate the need to develop methods for researching new objects and improving old methods in view of the rapid growth of crime, taking into account the development of Internet crime.

The specifics of multiobject forensic handwriting examination is considered. Urgency of their performing and the importance for making decisions on the case are underlined. Attention is drawn to the solution of specific problems that require different approaches, depending on the nature of research objects. Multistage character of research on a multitude of handwriting objects is singled out and features of a separate stage, namely preliminary research are considered. Importance of this stage for the further research planning, selection of the corresponding separate techniques by expert, construction of expert versions is revealed. It is pointed out that methods of performing multiobject handwriting examination at the stage of preliminary research has features that distinguish it from other handwriting methods. Issues related to familiarization with the submitted materials, verification of comparability of samples and establishment of comparative material sufficiency are touched upon. Importance of resolving the issue regarding the need to send an application by a expert is noted. Also, the completion of the preliminary research stage by the formulation of general and private versions per se of the tasks assigned to expert is noted. Recently expert practice requires from experts not only to update methodological approaches in solving handwriting tasks when granting a large number of objects, but also to improve methods of performing relevant research. Above mentioned sequence of research stages can be one of the types of guarantee for full and comprehensive objective research on a large number of objects, an serve the basis for a correct expert decision. Consideration of the issues of features on the stage of preliminary research in carrying out a multiobject handwriting examination is important for handwriting experts, both beginners and with great experience.

Criminalistic research on locks takes an important place in prevention, qualification, disclosure and investigation of property crimes related to house penetration, so-called burglaries. The analysis of modern expert practice has established a tendency to increase the unauthorized (criminal) picking of cylinder pin locks with a horizontally oriented keyhole that has become widespread in last years. Its contributes a large number of manufactured devices (manufactured in China mainly) for picking indicated locks, namely master keys operating on the principle of self impressioning and can be purchased through the Internet, as well as a larger number video materials regarding their use. In the available criminalistic literature only singles, at some extent current and actual ways of unauthorized picking of cylinder pin locks using of outside objects with developed recommendations according research on such as manipulation method by means of a selected forged key and bumping are covered. Method of self impressioning that is the basis of picking modern locks mastered and successfully used by "qualified" burglars majority, in modern criminalistics is not mentioned at all. Therefore the purpose of this article is to highlight criminalistic research possibilities of certain types of cylinder pin locks, picked by means of an manufactured self impressioning master key. The article pays attention to such problem aspects: method of self impressioning using in the way of picking a lock with a cylinder mechanism; design features of self impressioning master key to cylinder locks, concerning to the solution of diagnostic and identification issues; traces classification of self impressioning master key remaining on lock details; difficulties research on cylinder locks that were subjected to action of a self impressioning master key.

Development of coal deposits in Ukraine is carried out in complicated mining and geological conditions in the presence of high parameters of gas formation, mountain pressure, temperature of enclosing rocks, danger of appearance of sudden coal emissions, rock and gas and the ability of minerals to spontaneous combustion. Being found in mining work places (permanent or temporary stay), as well as while moving to the place of performing work, there is an influence possibility on an employee of hazardous and harmful production factors that by their origin can be of industrial or natural nature. The analysis of accidents in the mining industry demonstrates that accidents occur with the miners who are in the mine, not only while performing a task at the work place, as well as during a descent into the mine leaving the cage on the working horizon, during the movement of mine workings on foot or underground transport to the work place. The research concerning of the attribution to the concept of "work with high risk "of stay of the workers in mine workings while of moving to the place of performing works during carrying out forensic engineering and technical examinations regarding investigation on causes and consequences of emergencies in the mining and underground conditions is carried out. Investigating normative documents and regulations and other sources regarding the regulation of underground works, it possible to conclude that underground staying, namely moving to a workplace by mine working is an operational need, when the worker is located in a dangerous area where he can be exposed to action of hazardous and/or a harmful production factor of natural or anthropogenic origin, therefore the movement of workers in mine workings to the place of performing works is classified as "work with increased danger".
