Thearticle deals with the possibilities and limitations of the use of artificial neural networks in forensicmedical practice. It is known that in the work of forensic medicine experts have to process and evaluatea large amount of information, which may belong to different types of data - the site inspection protocols,photographic materials, macroscopic data obtained during the autopsy of the corpse, the results of laboratorytests, medical records etc. All the received data should be studied, categorized and evaluated according tointernational standards. Modern computer technologies of artificial intelligence (artificial neural networks)can help in the handling of forensic medicine data, which, in turn, will reduce to a minimum the probabilityof mistakes in preparation of expert conclusions.The algorithms used in artificial neural networks, as a resultof processing different types of input data, can direct them to the resulting categorized outputs and structurethem.

Published: June 2021

Secondhand Smoking (SHS) exposure had a great impact on health, especially among a vulnerable grouplike breastfeeding mothers and infants. No previous research was found on the risk of lower parentingquality with the risk of SHS exposure among infants. This research aimed to analyze the prevalence of SHSexposure at home in infants with family characteristics and parenting quality. A cross-sectional study wasconducted in Magelang with 216 households that had an infant as a household member. SHS exposure athome and family characteristics assessed with a questionnaire and parenting quality assessed with HOMESF,divided into emotional support and cognitive stimulation. The prevalence of SHS at home was 81%.Family characteristics related were higher means of sum of children (t= -2.494; p=0.013), shorter birthspacing (t= -3.146; p=0.002), younger age of mother (t= -3.798; p=0.000) and father (t= -3.766; p=0.000), andshorter years of father education (t= -2.933; p=0.004) were significantly related to higher prevalence of SHSexposure at home.and also lower cognitive stimulation (F=2.705- p=0.046). Several family characteristicsand also the quality of parenting identified as factors associated with infant SHS exposure at home. The highprevalence needs attention for intensive health promotion and consistent implementation of smoke-freelegislation to protect infant and breastfeeding mothers from SHS exposure at home.

SUBJECT REVIEW: ACCULTURATION AND SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION
Authors: Salih Faeza Adnan
Published: June 2021

This paper aims to give an overview of acculturation in the literature by means of its explicit definitions, main characteristics, and categorical process. It also foreshadows the significance of acquiring novice culture with particular connection to second language acquisition. Schumann and John Berry underscored acculturation each with its own model of acculturation. In the case of this review, you will realize that Schumann's two main aspects are firmly rooted in berry's model of acculturation as an exclusive description in relation to second language acquisition. Steven Krashen outlined acquiring language from the intellectual and linguistic view of learning, whereas Micheal Long demanded for communication in social perspective. It has been clear from my review that acculturated individuals could encompass second language acquisition under convenient conditions in the classroom. In my opinion, understanding a language within culture constructs the foundation of developing language skills at metacognitive process.

Features of determining the efficiency of innovative activities
Authors: Podrez-Riapolova Iryna
Published: June 2021

Problem setting. Efficiency is a complex category of economics and one of the main indicators of business entities. Current trends in the development of innovation require consideration of new aspects of assessing the state of innovation in accordance with the system of performance criteria.

The purpose of this article is a legal analysis of the procedure for determining the effectiveness of innovation.

Analysis of recent researches and publications. The study of the process of determining the effectiveness of innovation is mostly devoted to the works of economists, such as J. Schumpeter, Y. Yakovets, A. Kharin, P. Mykytyuk, V. Koyuda, L. Lysenko and others. However, there is no single approach in research to the system of evaluating the effectiveness of innovation and its components.

Article’s main body. One of the key principles of this policy is the effective use of market mechanisms to promote innovation, support for entrepreneurship in research and production. The strategy for the development of innovation for the period up to 2030 defines the concept of the coefficient of innovation efficiency as the ratio of the result to innovation resources, without disclosing the content and components of this term. Most economists in analyzing the evaluation of innovation distinguish between the concepts of "effect" and "effectiveness" of innovation. Generalization of criteria and systematization of the corresponding indicators of an estimation of efficiency of innovative activity, allows to allocate the following:

Criterion of economic efficiency.

Criterion of scientific and technical efficiency.

Criterion of social efficiency.

Criterion of ecological efficiency.

Criterion of novelty.

In our opinion, it is also possible to add to this generalized list of other criteria, in particular, a criterion that reflects the level of commercialization of innovation results (main indicators: introduction of commercial use of scientific and technical results; level of commercialization of innovation projects). potential in the resource to ensure competitiveness, the level of competitiveness of goods (services), the volume of investment demand, the level of profitability, taking into account possible risks etc.).

Conclusions and prospects for the development. Legal support of innovation should be aimed at creating an effective regulatory framework and economic mechanisms to support and stimulate the state of innovation processes. Stimulation of innovative activity determines the level of its efficiency and effectiveness. In view of the above, it seems appropriate to regulate general indicators (criteria) and create a scientifically sound system for determining the effectiveness of innovation in an aspect-oriented direction in relation to determining the effectiveness of scientific institutions.
Overview of the concept of human rights in the Muslim world
Authors: Sharovych Dmytro , Maryniv Ivanna
Published: June 2021

Problem setting. Islam is the youngest Abrahamic religion in the world. Its beginning was laid in the first half of the VII century AD on the territory of the Arabian Peninsula. The Islamic world is a unique regional phenomenon that causes many people to have different and in some cases even opposing views. The issue of human rights in the Islamic world is also much debated. Every day we receive information about the systematic violation of the honor and dignity of a certain category of the population (women, children) in the region.

Analysis of recent researches and publications. The article uses the works of well-known experts in the field of Sharia and legal systems of Muslim countries such as: Syukiyaynen L. R., Abdullah ibn Abd al-Mukhsin at-Turki, Zhdanov N. V., Abashidze A. Kh., Abdul Aziiz Olaemi and others. Special attention is paid to the concepts of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.

Target of research. The objective of this work is a general overview of the concept of human rights in the Islamic world.

Article`s main body. Analyzed the issues of human rights in different countries where Sharia has a significant impact on their systems of law, namely: Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Iran. The article notes that despite the significant impact of Sharia law on the legal systems of the above countries, certain human rights standards differ between them. Also, the article reveals the first practice of codifying human rights in muslim insight - the General Islamic Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the non-governmental organization Islamic Council in Europe. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (until 2012 - the Organization of the Islamic Conference) (hereinafter - OIC) - is an international intergovernmental organization whose members are representatives of the Muslim world. Thus, the explored activity of the international intergovernmental organization in the field of human rights, namely the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, which unites all Muslim countries of the world and in its activities is guided by the principles of Sharia. The study of the activities of this organization in the field of human rights contains an analysis of sectoral acts (for example, the Dhaka and Cairo Declarations), a study of the activities of bodies of special (Independent Permanent Commission on Human Rights) and general (Islamic Summit) competencies and other issues that relate to the mechanism of promoting and protecting human rights.

Conclusions and prospects for the development. The authors came to the conclusion that the concept of human rights in the Islamic world is quite heterogeneous, even in comparison between countries where Sharia is dominant. The authors note the special role of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation as a leading basis in the Islamic doctrine of human rights, as this organization unites all Muslim countries into one monolithic bloc, which leads to the formation of a single Muslim autonomous will, which includes all national doctrines and approaches.

Published: June 2021

Objetivo: Identificar as alterações anatômicas em exames diagnósticos e a viabilidade de intervenções cirúrgicas em pacientes com Dextrocardia. Fontes de dados: Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática nas bases de dados Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) e PubMed. Utilizou-se Descritores em ciências da saúde (Decs) combinados com o operador booleano “AND”, no Pubmed, os descritores foram em inglês “Dextrocardia situs inversus totalis” AND “diagnosis”, usando filtros “full text” e “last 5 years”, já na BVS, os descritores foram em português com os mesmos filtros. Síntese de dados: As variações anatômicas nos exames diagnósticos são: localização do coração no hemitórax direito, em que o ápice do órgão, veias cavas superior e inferior estão direcionadas à direita e no eletrocardiograma há desvio do eixo para extrema direita com a presença de complexos QRS no plano precordial invertidos. Para a execução de qualquer intervenção cirúrgica adequada deve-se determinar diagnóstico anatômico e avaliação pré-operatória pormenorizados junto a uma equipe preparada. Os procedimentos cirúrgicos em pacientes com dextrocardia são: intervenção robótica de retirada de trombo em apêndice atrial direito em gestante, revascularização do miocárdio, inserção intra-stent nas oclusões totais das coronárias, transplante pulmonar e cirurgias valvares mitral, tricúspide, aórtica e no seio aórtico. Conclusão: Conclui-se que é necessário o conhecimento prévio da alteração anatômica, sendo facilmente determinado por meio de exames de imagem e eletrocardiograma para conduzir qualquer caso de dextrocardia. O estudo demonstrou viabilidade intervencionista em procedimentos cirúrgicos habituais intra e extra-cardíacos, evidenciando sucesso na maioria deles.

Conclusão: Nossa epidemiologia regional mostrou semelhança com as epidemiologias nacional e mundial, que tendem a mostrar que homens tabagistas são o grupo mais vulnerável a ter câncer de laringe, em especial pela atividade econômica desenvolvida no Brasil Central, os trabalhadores rurais se mostraram como ocupação mais prevalente. Por isso programas de prevenção devem englobar esse grupo como foco principal.
A New Approach for the Capping Interventions of Architectural Remains in Archaeological Sites
Authors: Kocaman Pavlovic Nihan
Published: June 2021

A limited number of archaeological excavations have a budget or a suitable order of site to cover all the remains found on the site by a protective structure. Therefore, the method of protecting architectural finds excavated in archaeological sites with a protective layer is frequently used to control plant formation and to prevent the deterioration caused by climatic conditions. Even though capping is an effective way of preserving architectural structures, these interventions do not always slow the pace of decay. In this research, the main categories of hard and soft capping techniques in archaeological sites, and the preservation questions that these techniques raise, are examined along with their advantages and disadvantages. Following the examination, a new approach is proposed for capping the architectural monuments in order to protect the fragile structure of the unearthed archaeological heritage by minimizing the destructive effects of existing techniques.
Marginal Architecture [How will we live together?] - a process under construction…

The organization of territory and cities is a structuring element for the management of epidemic crises. The existence of basic sanitary structures is, nowadays, an acquired and determined factor for the healthiness of territories, as well as for the structural contribution to the well-being of the populations. Since the 19th century epidemic crises established health parameters for Architecture and Urbanism, which are still a reference today. Almost after one hundred years, where the questions of salubrity were supposed to be consolidated, we find that, suddenly, without advice, new alarm bells rings: we found that the world was not prepared to be closed in its “housing units”. Assuming Portimão as an urban laboratory and as a waterfront city, we will present the process developed for studies, searching for proposals witch solutions look for a contemporary assignment, which imposes to Architecture a principle settled on options of sustainability, impermanence, reuse and recycling.

One of the most important environmental problems in today's world is climate change caused by greenhouse gases. Due to the increase in CO2 emissions from greenhouse gases, climate change is increasing and moving towards the point of no return. In this process, many ideas have been developed to combat climate change. One of these ideas is that cities should be sustainable. In order for cities to be sustainable, activities such as expanding the use of renewable energy resources in cities, increasing green and environmentally friendly transportation, improving air quality, and minimizing carbon emissions should be carried out. In this context, open green areas have important effects in terms of improving air quality, reducing the heat island effect in cities and especially keeping carbon emissions to a minimum. Thus, the efficiency and productivity of carbon capture and storage of green areas come to the fore. There are several methods to measure the carbon capture and storage efficiency of green areas and to evaluate their efficiency. In this study, the methods used in determining open green areas in cities and evaluating biomass productivity in these areas will be examined.

Due to increase in population density in cities, unplanned urbanization, where built areas proliferate and concrete and impermeable surfaces are predominant, have started to capture cities. While this causes the natural environments and green areas in cities to decrease day by day, it also directly affects the formation of heat islands in the cities, air pollution and the decrease in the quality of life of people. Since landscape architecture is a discipline that deals with the planning, development, protection and design of rural and urban open spaces that can make the future better, teaching students the importance of the ecological city and the criteria of designs for this should be the primary goal in universities. The area, which was determined as an Urban Transformation area by Trabzon Municipality and planned to be designed as Karagöz Square, was studied within the scope of Karadeniz Technical University Landscape Architecture Environmental Design Project 4 in the fall semester of 2019-2020. The lecturer of the course aimed to teach the students the awareness of green design-oriented city square solution in line with ecological city criteria. Within the scope of this study, course data were examined with ecological city criteria.
En la búsqueda de índices climáticos como predictores de precipitación
Authors: Carolina Ramírez-Carabalí
Published: June 2021

Varios autores han establecido que diferentes índices, que caracterizan fenómenos oceánicos y atmosféricos en ultramar, tienen relación con el comportamiento del tiempo y el clima en la región andina colombiana. No obstante, la aplicación de este conocimiento es casi nulo y está asociado básicamente a dos situaciones: La primera es la incertidumbre representada por la escasa cantidad de información meteorológica existente, para explicar eventos o anomalías climáticas de baja periodicidad; la segunda es la concepción establecida de que, el Índice Oceánico El Niño (ONI) es el único índice capaz de describir la variación de los valores de los elementos del clima a escala mensual. En este seminario se presentarán los resultados de tres investigaciones que evalúan el efecto de diferentes índices sobre la lluvia en la zona cafetera colombiana, los cuales buscan reducir las incertidumbres antes mencionadas y determinar su idoneidad espacio-temporal como moduladores del clima.
Evaluating the Technological, Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) of ICT Teachers in Junior High Schools: A Case Study of the Abuakwa South Municipality in Ghana.
Authors: Abdulai Issah Bala
Published: June 2021

The study sought to examine ICT teachers’ knowledge regarding technology, pedagogy and content using the TPACK model. In all, 44 teachers were randomly sampled from the 54 Junior High Schools in the Abuakwa South Municipality. A questionnaire was used to gather quantitative data. ANOVA was used to interpret the data collected. The findings suggested that the overall teachers’ knowledge in TPACK was moderate, however, the knowledge of teachers in technology was high. The results also indicated a positive relationship among the various TPACK domains. However, the result rejected the null hypothesis and accepted the alternative hypothesis which shows that statistically there is a significant difference among the various TPACK domains. It was concluded that a lot must be done to help improve the teachers’ TPACK. The study recommended a regular professional learning session to close the gap of the teachers’ knowledge in technology, pedagogy and content in the municipality.

Delayed Detonation Thermonuclear Supernovae with an Extended Dark Matter Component
Authors: Chan Ho-Sang , Chu Ming-chung , Leung Shing-Chi , Lin Lap-Ming
Published: June 2021

We present spherically symmetric simulations of the thermonuclear explosion of a white dwarf admixed with an extended component of fermionic dark matter, using the deflagration model with the deflagration–detonation transition. In all the dark matter admixed models we have considered, the dark matter is left behind after the explosion as a compact dark star. The presence of dark matter lengthens the deflagration phase to produce a similar amount of iron-group elements and more thermoneutrinos. Dark matter admixed models also give dimmer but slowly declining light curves, consistent with some observed peculiar supernovae. Our results suggest a formation path for dark compact objects that mimic sub-solar-mass black holes as dark gravitational sources.

Published: June 2021

Reliably identifying active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in dwarf galaxies is key to understanding black hole (BH) demographics at low masses and constraining models for BH seed formation. Here we present Chandra X-ray Observatory observations of 11 dwarf galaxies that were chosen as AGN candidates using Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mid-infrared (mid-IR) color–color selection. Hubble Space Telescope images are also presented for 10 of the galaxies. Based on Sloan Digital Sky Survey spectroscopy, six galaxies in our sample have optical evidence for hosting AGNs and five are classified as star-forming. We detect X-ray point sources with luminosities above that expected from X-ray binaries in the nuclei of five of the six galaxies with optical evidence of AGNs. However, the X-ray emission from these AGNs is generally much lower than expected based on AGN scaling relations with infrared and optical tracers. We do not find compelling evidence for AGNs in the five optically-selected star-forming galaxies despite having red mid-IR colors. Only two are detected in X-rays and their properties are consistent with stellar-mass X-ray binaries. Based on this multiwavelength study, we conclude that two-color mid-IR AGN diagnostics at the resolution of WISE cannot be used to reliably select AGNs in optically-star-forming dwarf galaxies. Future observations in the infrared with the James Webb Space Telescope offer a promising path forward.

We present Chandra X-ray observations of 14 radio-loud quasars at redshifts 3 < z < 4, selected from a well-defined sample. All quasars are detected in the 0.5–7.0 keV energy band, and resolved X-ray features are detected in five of the objects at distances of 1″–12″ from the quasar core. The X-ray features are spatially coincident with known radio features for four of the five quasars. This indicates that these systems contain X-ray jets. X-ray fluxes and luminosities are measured, and jet-to-core X-ray flux ratios are estimated. The flux ratios are consistent with those observed for nearby jet systems, suggesting that the observed X-ray emission mechanism is independent of redshift. For quasars with undetected jets, an upper limit on the average X-ray jet intensity is estimated using a stacked image analysis. Emission spectra of the quasar cores are extracted and modeled to obtain best-fit photon indices, and an Fe K emission line is detected from one quasar in our sample. We compare X-ray spectral properties with optical and radio emission in the context of both our sample and other quasar surveys.
