De beoordeling van alibi’s in de strafrechtspraktijk: enkele reflecties over de huidige stand van de wetenschap

Een alibi kan worden beschouwd als een van de sterkste manieren voor een verdachte om de eigen onschuld aan te tonen. Een alibi is immers de bewering van een verdachte dat hij onschuldig is omdat hij op het tijdstip van het strafbare feit elders was en bijgevolg het feit niet kan hebben gepleegd. In die zin laat een alibi in principe toe om een onderscheid te maken tussen onschuldige verdachten en verdachten die daadwerkelijk de dader zijn. Mede onder invloed van de toegenomen aandacht voor gerechtelijke dwalingen en de factoren die daarin een rol spelen, bloeide in de jaren negentig het academisch onderzoek naar alibi’s op. In deze bijdrage op een aantal belangrijke bevindingen binnen dit onderzoeksdomein.

Maar hoe verminderd toerekeningsvatbaar bent u dan precies? Een empirische en juridische studie van de mogelijkheid om de ‘verminderde toerekeningsvatbaarheid’ nader te preciseren

Naast ontoerekeningsvatbaarheid kent het Nederlandse strafrecht de verminderde toerekeningsvatbaarheid. De verminderde toerekeningsvatbaarheid is niet opgenomen in de wet, maar speelt in de praktijk een grote rol, ook in gedragskundige pro justitia rapportage. Voorheen werd het toerekeningsvatbaarheidsadvies in vijf gradaties gegeven, maar omdat sinds een aantal jaren niet meer vijf maar drie gradaties van toerekeningsvatbaarheid gehanteerd worden, is een preciseringsmogelijkheid in het leven geroepen. De vraag die in dit artikel centraal staat, is hoe deze nieuwe preciseringsmogelijkheid in de praktijk wordt gehanteerd door rapporteurs.

Published: November 2023

Additive manufacturing (AM) technology has attracted significant attention with the rapid fabri-cation of 3D parts for various applications. With fused deposition modeling (FDM) and stereo-lithography (SLA), the most used methods in this technology, it is possible to produce functional parts with complex shapes quickly and cheaply. Determining the mechanical properties of the parts produced by these methods is important in terms of efficient operation in the relevant fields. This study, 45 test specimens were fabricated using three different polymer materials (UVR, PLA, and ABS) in SLA and FDM type 3D printers, including tensile, compression, and 3-point bending tests. Samples are printed at a 75% fill rate according to ASTM standards. Experimental studies were carried out to determine the mechanical properties of the samples. Among the samples, the highest strength values in tensile, compression and bending test samples made of UVR material were 60.39 MPa, 127.74 MPa and 118.35 MPa, respectively. In addition to mechanical properties, hardness, and SEM analyses were performed to examine the surface roughness, surface topography, and composition of the samples. As a result, the effects on the mechanical properties of the samples fabricated by the UVR-based SLA method and the PLA-ABS-based FDM method were examined and compared.

Published: November 2023

Understanding and optimizing the CO2 laser cutting process of thermoplastic materials is critical for improving product quality, reducing waste, and achieving efficient manufacturing processes. This study aimed to investigate the effects of a number of input parameters (i.e., material type, power, and cutting speed) on the key output parameters (i.e., kerf width and heat affected zone) in CO2 laser cutting of thermoplastic materials. The laser cutting process was performed based on the Taguchi L18 (21x32) orthogonal array design. The effects of cutting parameters on the outputs were calculated by using the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio and analysis of variance (ANOVA) techniques. Furthermore, first and second-degree mathematical models were established by using regression analysis to estimate the values of kerf width and heat affected zone. The optimum laser cutting parameters for kerf width and heat affected zone were determined as and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) material type, 80 W power, and 15 mm/s cutting speed. The ANOVA results showed that the most efficient parameter on kerf width was power with 53.99% while the most efficient parameter on heat affected zone was material type with 40.96%. In addition, the coefficient of determination (R2) values for the regression equations developed for the outputs are significantly high. The R2 values of the first- and second-degree regression equations for KW are 97.26% and 99.71%, respectively, whereas 93.43% and 98.18% for HAZ.
GGDP Accounting Model and Advantages
Authors: Wang Hong-ding , Wang Qi-zhi
Published: November 2023

With the development of human economy the problem of environmental protection has become increasingly serious, which is related to the sustainability of development. Although GDP can effectively reflect the development level of a country, it can not measure the utilization of natural resources. Therefore, it is necessary to formulate a new calculation standard to combine economic development with environmental protection, and the model of GGDP was born. First of all, we choose a model developed according to The System Of National Accounts (SNA) and including four dimensions from the existing GGDP calculation models. There are 8 first-class indicators in the four dimensions, which are calculated by 19 factors. After the values of the four dimensions are calculated separately, we can get the GGDP values of a series of countries. Secondly, we choose the GGDP of 5 countries from 2000 to 2014 as independent variables, and the global carbon dioxide emissions as dependent variables, and establish a stepwise regression model. We find that the GGDP of China and Canada is positively correlated with global carbon dioxide emissions, while that of other countries is negatively correlated. Then, through the intuitive comparison between GGDP and GDP in countries, combined with the correlation degree between in stepwise regression model, we get the feasibility of replacing GDP with GGDP. Through systematic cluster analysis, the GGDP of 29 countries is divided into three categories, and the rank is different from the world ranking of GDP, can measure the advantage of environmental protection. By analyzing the calculation method of GGDP and the model, we can find the disadvantage of GGDP. After that, we select Japan to further analyze the results of using GGDP instead of GDP. Among the 29 countries, Japan ranks first in GGDP. Through the GGDP calculation, except GDP, NRD has the greatest influence on the reduction of GGDP. Therefore, Japan can improve by adjusting the secondary indicators under NRD. In recent years, the achievement of Japan's sustainable development goals is gradually declining, so it is beneficial to implement GGDP. Finally, according to the current economic and ecological situation of Japan, combined with the calculation method and model of GGDP selected in this paper, we prepared a convincing report to support the implementation of GGDP in Japan.

Hippocampal asymmetry in angiotensin II modulatory effects on learning and memory in rats
Authors: Tashev Roman , Stefanova Margarita
Published: November 2023

Learning and memory effects of angiotensin II (Ang II) microinjected unilaterally (left or right) and bilaterally into hippocampal CA1 area on the background of the inhibited hippocampal angiotensin 1 receptors type (AT1) of male Wistar rats were studied. It was found that the combination (losartan 100 micrograms + Ang II 0.5 micrograms) microinjected bilaterally or into the left CA1 area improved learning and memory in shuttle-box and step through behavioral tests as compared to the respective controls. The effects were more pronounced after injection into the left CA1 area as compared to the right-side. These findings suggest thatAng II infused on the background of the inhibited CA1 hippocampal AT1 receptors ameliorated the cognitive processes. The data show also an asymmetric effect of Ang II on learning and memory processes in the hippocampus. The stronger modulating effect after microinjection of the combination (losartan + Ang II) into the left CA1 hippocampal area suggests a leftward bias in the rat. The results point to a differential distribution of angiotensin II receptors modulating the learning and memory processes in the left and right hippocampal CA1 area.
An exonic G894T variant of endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene as a risk factor for ischemic stroke in North Indians
Authors: Kaur Kirandeep , Uppal Ashok , Kaur Anupam
Published: November 2023

Nitric oxide (NO) synthesized by endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) enzyme is a critical regulator of cerebrovascular homeostasis. Genetic variability of G894T and intronic 4ab polymorphism in eNOS could affect the expression and activity of eNOS enzyme, modulating NO levels in endothelium. This results in endothelial dysfunction, which can contribute to the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the association of eNOS genetic polymorphisms (G894T and 4ab) with the occurrence of ischemic stroke through various genetic models. Both polymorphisms were genotyped in 120 ischemic stroke patients diagnosed with MRI and other ancillary techniques and 101 control subjects free of neurological abnormalities, using PCR-RFLP technique and direct PCR respectively. The genotypes of both G894T and 4ab variants were found to be in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium for cases and controls. The significant variation was observed in the genotypic and allelic frequencies for G894T polymorphism between cases and controls, indicating the association of G894T variability with ischemic stroke. However, the difference between cases and controls was insignificant for eNOS 4ab polymorphism with regard to genotypic and allelic distribution. Except for recessive model, both dominant (GT/TT vs. GG) and co-dominant (TT vs. GT or GT vs. GG) models indicated nearly two-fold and 1.93 increased risk of ischemic stroke for G894T polymorphism, but none of them suggested the influence of eNOS 4ab polymorphism on ischemic stroke susceptibility. Haplotype analysis revealed the higher frequency of GT-4bb genotype combination in cases as compared to controls, but without significant difference. The study concluded that SNP G894T variant is associated with ischemic stroke and might contribute to ischemic stroke susceptibility in North Indians. However, this outcome needs to be confirmed by studies with large sample size.
A mathematical approach for assessing the transport of large neutral amino acids across the blood-brain barrier in man
Authors: Dahl Rasmus , Berg Ronan
Published: November 2023

Changes in the large neutral amino acid (LNAA) transport across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is thought to contribute to brain dysfunction in a number of clinical conditions, including phenylketonuria, acute liver failure, and sepsis. Here, we present a novel approach for estimating BBB permeability and the LNAA concentrations in brain extracellular fluid, by demonstrating that they can be mathematically derived on the basis of kinetic constants of the BBB available from the literature, if cerebral blood flow and the arterial and jugular venous LNAA concentrations are known. While it is well known that the permeability surface area product of the BBB to a LNAA from blood to brain (PS1) can be calculated from the arterial LNAA concentrations and kinetic constants of the BBB, we demonstrate that the permeability surface area product from brain to blood (PS2) can be calculated by deriving the substrate activity of the saturable transporter from the kinetic constants and arterial and jugular venous LNAA concentrations, and that the concentration of the LNAA in brain extracellular fluid can then be determined. This approach is methodically simple, and may be useful for assessing the transcerebral exchange kinetics of LNAAs in future human-experimental and clinical studies.

Os fungos medicinais, particularmente o Shiitake (L. edodes), têm sido altamente considerados nas tradições orientais devido aos seus efeitos vantajosos no tratamento de diversos problemas de saúde. O objetivo geral desse projeto foi avaliar a extração de β glucanas do L. Edodes por sistema bifásico. Os cogumelos frescos foram cortados em cubos e processados com um moinho de facas e martelos, e depois moídos finamente em seguida o material resultante foi colocado em um percolador com etanol 70% e concentrado em rotaevaporador. Posteriormente, foi ainda concentrado e liofilizado. Várias concentrações de PEG 600 (50%) e Na2SO4 (20%) foram utilizadas para criar sistemas, visando investigar configurações bifásicas e não bifásicas. Optou-se por sistemas bifásicos para extração de β-glucanas e remoção de proteínas de L. edodes (ambos liofilizados e em sua solução 20 mg/mL). As fases separadas foram coletadas e analisadas quanto aos níveis de proteína total e β-glucana. Os resultados demonstraram, que foi possível a remoção de proteínas totais e extração de β glucanas. Nossos resultados indicam que o sistema B foi o mais eficaz na remoção de proteínas e extração bem-sucedida das β-glucanas por meio da técnica de extração líquido-líquido. O uso de um sistema aquoso bifásico mostrou-se uma alternativa promissora para a extração de compostos ativos de cogumelos.

Published: November 2023

Since the advent of the internet the gaming market has undergone a significant transformation, embracing global publishing and sales, as well as the exponential growth of online gaming. However, the appeal of this market extends beyond the games themselves, as it offers users immersive experiences not only as players but also as creators and customizers of their in-game characters. This research paper centres around the hypothesis that games have the potential to foster interaction and provide experiences that go beyond their mechanics and design, leveraging the customization options available to players. To explore this concept, an online survey was conducted, supported by a theoretical framework drawing from the fields of design, media, and psychology. The survey aimed to investigate the prevalence of customization practices, examining how players acquire customizations for games and how these personalization enhance their overall gaming experience. The findings underscored the significance of customization as a prominent aspect of gaming and revealed that players derive enjoyment from engaging in this activity, considering it an integral part of their gaming journey. These findings suggest that customization can serve as a valuable tool to enhance players' sense of attachment to the game universe.

Access to health care is a key component that determines the possibility of the earliest-possible promotion of health and well-being in the context of everyday life. The article analyzes the spatial accessibility of health services for the population of certain areas of the North of Russia. Urbanized and rural areas in the Arkhangelsk and Murmansk regions and the Yamal-Nenets autonomous region were studied. OpenStreetMap data was used, including information about the location of medical institutions and settlements, and the configuration of road network. Using the ArcGIS Network Analyst toolkit, different accessibility zones were identified for each study area. It was revealed that large cities located in the north of Russia are sufficiently provided with medical care in terms of spatial accessibility. More relevant is the issue of providing specialized types of medical care. Even cities located close to each other show unequal possibilities of obtaining specialized health care. The concentration of specialized care in several centers, without taking into account their transport accessibility, requires additional time and carries risks for the population because of the untimely access to medical care. Rural population remains the most vulnerable in terms of the access to medical care.
Primary aluminum-air flow battery for high-power applications: Optimization of power and self-discharge

Published: November 2023

Aluminum-air batteries are a front-runner technology in applications requiring a primary energy source. Aluminum-air flow batteries have many advantages, such as high energy density, low price, and recyclability. One of the main challenges with aluminum-air batteries is achieving high power while parasitic corrosion and self-discharge are minimized. In this study, the optimization of an aluminum-air flow cell by multiple-parameters analysis and integration of a four-cell stack are shown. We also studied the incorporation of ammonium metavanadate (NH4VO3) as anticorrosive in 4 mol L-1 KOH electrolyte by discharge and polarization plots. It was concluded that NH4VO3 is an efficient anticorrosive at low currents, but it limits the battery reaction at high-current and high-power applications. Nevertheless, high currents inhibit the corrosion reaction using 4 mol L-1 KOH electrolyte, allowing high power and capacity without anticorrosive additives. The flow in the stack also plays a significant role, and parallel flow is suggested over cascade flow since the latter results in the progressive accumulation of hydrogen as the electrolyte flows through the stack.
Passacaglia in C Minor by J. S. Bach – the “enigmatic” work
Authors: Grajter Piotr
Published: November 2023

The title of this article contains an allusion to the practice of constructing musical works in an ambiguous and enigmatic way so that a potential performer or audience is encouraged to solve a puzzle in a given composition. There are numerous indications that also Passacaglia in C Minor BWV 582 by Johann Sebastian Bach fits in the trend of these musical mysteries. The work can appear as “enigmatic” for many reasons, e.g., due to its mysterious origin, ambivalent purpose, unusual basso ostinato, concept full of paradoxes, poetic and oratorical structure or the presence of very different traditions of its performance. Its mysterious origin results from the fact that the autograph of the work did not survive, nor are the circumstances of its composition known. The ambivalent purpose refers to the hint Cembalo ossia Organo given in one of the secondary copies suggesting a possibility of performing this work on different keyboard instruments. The essence of the atypical nature of basso ostinato is contained in the fact that (among other things) it is of above-standard size as compared to usual ones, and furthermore, it indicates a possible borrowing from works by other composers and, indirectly, also from Gregorian chant. The concept of the work can be regarded as full of paradoxes as well, particularly because of the implicit use of mathematical and symbolical construction bases serving the purpose of expressing certain hidden ideas, which is supposed to provoke a potential performer or audience to make the necessary intellectual effort. The poetic and oratorical structure of Passacaglia in C Minor consists, among other things, in assigning appropriately grouped variations to the successive phases of rhetorical expression. In turn, the inconsistencies concerning the performance traditions are connected with different interpretation concepts of the work, including some very unconventional ones.
