Published: December 2021

“Bumper” fracture plays an important role in forensic-medical diagnosing of traffic injury. Forensic-medical examiners explain their conclusions about the car, which resulted the pedestrian’s injury, taking to consideration it’s properties. However, constructive peculiarities of the modern car considerably differ from the ones of previous decades cars. Such circumstance considerably influences on the properties of “bumper” fracture, which is resulted by a modern car. The morphology of the bumper fracture, resulted be a modern car, and its difference from the one of “classic” “bumper” fracture were researched. It was mentioned, that modern car does not cause “classic” “bumper” fracture and that is why there is no prospect in finding them out in such case. Except this, the diagnostic importance of “bumper” fracture, resulted by a modern car, was mentioned.

Therefore, the aim of this study − was to perform what specific variants of human injury wheel of a moving vehicle is encountered in the modern practice of forensic expertise than they are, and how they can be classified on the basis of the practical needs of a forensic medical expert.

Material and methods: To achieve the research objectives investigated the circumstances of the receipt and morphology of injuries in casualties in the case of contact of a body with wheels of a vehicle, (71 during the period from 2010 to 2015, according to the materials of the Odessa regional Bureau of a forensic medical examination).Conclusions:1. Rolling a wheel of the vehicle through the body of the victim can take place not only in finding the victim lying on the roadway, but subject to finding it in a vertical or close to it position. While injured, as a rule, the foot feet of the victim.2. In addition to the rolling wheel through the lower limb of the victim can take place still at least 2 options of injury to the victim the wheel of a car:− as a result of contact of the tibia of the injured between the moving wheel and the wheel arch of the vehicle;− as a result of hitting the wheel of a car at the lower extremities of the victim. Such an attack can be combined withfriction of the extremities of the wheel of the vehicle and not be accompanied by compression of the limb between the rotatingwheel and other subjects (especially the road surface).3.

Authors: AMIRI Elmakki , El KARFA Abderrahim
Published: December 2021

It is worth pointing out that learning a foreign language in a multicultural context is a long and complex undertaking. Several factors influence whether or not English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students can accurately perceive and produce the foreign language. These variables can potentially contribute to the success and, or failure in learning and acquiring a foreign language. Given the Moroccan educational system, the research provided minimal insight into the relationship between those factors and language achievement. The present study’s aim, therefore, was to investigate the environmental factors that affect students’ academic performance. It also aimed to find out how these variables affect students’ academic achievements. To achieve this aim, data have been collected via open-ended questionnaires, and interviews addressed mainly to First Year Students of Master Programs, Department of English, FLDM, USMBA-Fez. The findings have shown that students’ academic achievements were significantly positively/negatively linked with the environmental factors, namely societal, home/family and school/classroom variables. The findings also revealed that the more highly sophisticated the social environment is, the more likely it is to foster EFL students’ academic achievements. In addition, the more similarity exists between the students’ cultures, the more successful the learning is. This study also showed that the development of EFL proficiency is a product of contextual factors influence. As such, the study concludes with several implications that brought up for possible effective change in the future to enhance the learning environment atmosphere, boost students’ academic achievements, and, therefore, achieve better results.

Authors: Mahzan Fareez Ashraf , Mohd. Nordin Norazah
Published: December 2021

Abstract: The quality and level of job satisfaction among lecturers play a significant role in implementing transformation to improve the education system. The main reason for the decreasing of job performances among lecturers is due to the low level of job satisfaction. This study aimed to examine the relationship between a director’s transformational leadership style and the level of job satisfaction among lecturers at MARA Professional College. This is a survey study employing descriptive and inferential quantitative method.  The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) and Job Descriptive Index (JDI) instruments were distributed to 64 participants that were chosen using simple random sampling from the 75 population of MARA Professional College lecturers. The data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 22. The findings revealed that the level of practice of the director on transformational leadership was low. In addition, there was a significant relationship between the transformational leadership practice of the director and the level of job satisfaction among lecturers at MARA Professional College. The level of job satisfaction among the lecturers was influenced by the director’s leadership practice, thus a director can increase the level of job satisfaction among the staff by practicing the transformational leadership style in managing a college. The findings are expected to assist the organization of MARA Professional College to identify the level of work pressure faced by the lecturers.

Published: December 2021

Abstract: Motivation is a key factor in learning a foreign language.  This study investigated the instrumental, integrative and attitudinal motivation level of students learning Japanese as a FL in a public university in Malaysia.  A survey questionnaire based on Gardner’s (1985) AMTB (Attitude/Motivation Test Battery) and Dornyei’s (1994) Attitudinal Motivation was given to 171 undergraduates.  Descriptive and Inferential statistics were used to analyse the data.  The results of the study indicated that the foreign language learners were generally highly motivated to learn Japanese as a foreign language. Moreover, their integrative and attitudinal motivational levels were similarly high and slightly higher than their instrumental motivation.  There were also statistically significant differences among the three subscales of attitudinal motivation viz. teacher-specific, course-specific and group-specific. They were more oriented towards teacher-specific and course-specific attitudinal motivation than group-specific attitudinal motivation.  The implications for EFL teachers and curriculum developers are that it would improve foreign language learning courses in future by designing suitable lessons and preparing appropriate materials and activities.

PERANAN AUTOPSI FORENSIK DAN KORELASINYA DENGAN KASUS KEMATIAN TIDAK WAJAR
Authors: Widowati Widowati , Ohoiwutun Y. A. Triana , Nugroho Fiska Maulidian , Samsudi Samsudi , Suyudi Godeliva Ayudyana
Published: December 2021

Autopsi forensik tidak dapat dilepaskan dari tujuan utama penemuan penyebab pasti kematian seseorang. KUHP Pasal 222 dan KUHAP Pasal 133 dan 134, telah mengatur mengenai autopsi forensik. Adanya ketentuan mengenai pemberitahuan kepada keluarga korban untuk dilakukannya autopsi forensik, merupakan kendala tersendiri di dalam implementasinya, yang justru menghambat penegakan hukum dalam kasus-kasus kematian yang tidak wajar. Padahal, hanya melalui autopsi forensik suatu kebenaran materiil dapat diungkap kebenarannya secara ilmiah, baik pada saat dimulainya penyelidikan perkara sampai dengan pembuktian perkara di pengadilan. Beberapa kasus dan putusan pengadilan yang telah berkekuatan hukum tetap mengindikasikan mengenai pentingnya posisi autopsi forensik dalam pembuktian kasus-kasus kematian yang diformulasikan sebagai tindak pidana materiil. Oleh karena itu, dalam kasus-kasus kematian tidak wajar, seyogianya pelaksanaan autopsi forensik tidak harus menunggu persetujuan keluarga korban demi tercapainya kepastian hukum yang adil, baik bagi korban, pelaku maupun masyarakat.

Authors: Abhishek Kunal , Raj E. George Dharma Prakash
Published: December 2021

The survey presents the evolution of Short Weierstrass elliptic curves after their introduction in cryptography. Subsequently, this evolution resulted in the establishment of present elliptic curve computational standards. We discuss the chronology of attacks on Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem (ECDLP) and investigate their countermeasures to highlight the evolved selection criteria of cryptographically safe elliptic curves. Further, two popular deterministic and random approaches for selection of Short Weierstrass elliptic curve for cryptography are evaluated from computational, security and trust perspectives and a trend in existent computational standards is demonstrated. Finally, standard and non-standard elliptic curves are analysed to add a new insight into their usability. There is no such survey conducted in past to the best of our knowledge.

Dry eye disease (DED) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the lacrimal system and ocular surface. Considering the important role of inflammation in DED development, the main treatment strategy has shifted from hydration and lubrication of dry ocular surface to the immunomodulation and immunoregulationapproach that should address the main pathologic processes responsible for disease progression. Due to their capacity for production of immunosuppressive factors, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their secretome have been considered as potentially new agents in DED therapy. We recently developed an immunomodulatory ophthalmic solution “derived- Multiple Allogeneic Proteins Paracrine Signaling (d-MAPPS)” which activity is relied on immunosuppressive capacity of MSC-derived secretome. d-MAPPS contains MSC-derived exosomes, growth factors and immunosuppressive cytokines that are able to efficiently suppress generation of inflammatory phenotype in T cells and macrophages. Herewith, we demonstrated that d-MAPPS protected human corneal epithelial cells from chemical injury and efficiently alleviated ocular discomfort and pain in 131 DED patients during the 12-month follow-up, indicating d-MAPPS eye drops as potentially new remedy for the treatment of DED patients.

Published: December 2021

to guide procedures. As the technology becomes more portable and affordable, schools have increasingly utilized this technology in training physicians. Ultrasonography may be especially useful in rural settings to fill the limitations that rural hospitals have in terms of imaging. The mission of many regional medical campuses is to train physicians to work in rural or underserved communities. Given this goal, we wanted to explore how regional medical campuses are utilizing ultrasound preclinically and determine the best approach for developing a standardized ultrasound curriculum, keeping regional medical campus resources in mind. A literature review of medical schools’ preclinical ultrasound curriculum was completed, and information was collected regarding curriculum programming, faculty, assessment, and student feedback. Based on data from this search, a fourteen question Qualtrics survey was sent out to regional medical campuses with questions regarding the use of ultrasound in their own preclinical curriculum. Of the 11 campuses that responded, 10 (90.9%) indicated that they include ultrasound in their curriculum. Respondents from nine of these schools progressed through the survey and information regarding topics covered in ultrasound curriculum, teachers of curriculum, patients used, ultrasound equipment used, and assessment of student knowledge all varied among medical campuses. The data suggested that regional medical campuses are focusing on similar aspects of ultrasound curriculum however, a standardized curriculum does not currently exist to ensure that all students are receiving similar ultrasound training.
Synthesis of Blend Polymer (PVA / PANI)/Copper (1) Oxide Nanocomposite: Thermal Analysis and UV-Vis Spectra Specifications
Authors: Al-Khafaji Raghad Subhi Abbas
Published: December 2021

Copper (1) oxide nanoparticles together with matrix polymers of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyaniline (PANI) composite films were synthesized, as these materials are of importance in optoelectronic applications. ‎Nanoparticles of Cu2O were produced by chemical precipitation. Polymerization of aniline was carried out through polymerization in an acidic medium. Structural, thermal, and optical properties of PVA+PANI/Cu2O nanocomposite were inspected by x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis spectroscopy). X-ray diffraction peaks at 29.53°, 36.34°, and 42.22° indicated the presence of cuprous oxide nanoparticles, having high dispersions and limited size distributions. The estimated average size of Cu2O nanoparticles was ~ 17.1525 nm. A characteristic peak at around 2θ = 18.5° was attributed to periodical parallel and perpendicular polymer chains, which denoted the formation of PANI. SEM results indicated the symmetrical dispersion of Cu2O nanoparticles inside the hybrid polymer of PVA and PANI matrix, being potentially useful for encapsulation and acting as a good capping agent. FTIR results established the formation of PANI and Cu2O with nanocrystalline nature. DSC results revealed the appearance of one single peak of Tg which decreased with Cu2O content of 4% wt, followed by an increase of that value by increasing Cu2O content up to 16%wt. Thermogram analysis of the PANI and PVA embedded with Cu2O form showed an exothermic peak at (240-292)℃ affiliated to the cross-linking reaction, while the Tm value of prepared nanocomposites is just about close to that of PVA polymer. The results indicated that there is an increase in thermal stability due to the presence of Cu2O NPS within the matrix of polymers. The distinguishing peaks at 330, 347, and 457 nm which refer to PANI are assigned to π−π* electron transitions among the benzenoid rings. The high absorption intensity of the peak at 470 nm for the blended PVA+PANI  having 12% wt of  Cu2O NPS is assigned due to the inter-band transitions for electrons of the core copper as well as copper oxide. This points out that the increasing quantity of Cu2O NPs leads to increases in the amounts of highly oxidized structures in PANI and decreases in the doping electrons and length of conjugation throughout the incorporation of Cu2O NPs into PANI matrix. Depending on the practical results, it can be said that these polymeric nanocomposites can be efficiently used in photovoltaic technology applications.
Models of mass media regulation: comparative analysis
Authors: Polyanina Alla Kerimovna
Published: December 2021

This article examines the foreign models of regulation of the media industry aimed at protection of children from information that may harm their health and development. The author reviews the widespread approaches towards classification of the systems of mass media regulation, and the genesis of the corresponding scientific representations. Having compared the key provisions of these approaches, the author determines the universal factors and parameters of the systems of mass media regulation in foreign countries. Addressing the issues of children’s protection from harmful content and taking measures aimed at restriction of distribution of information, the article considers media regulation system as a social practice and vector of information policy. The conclusion is made on the key role of the traditional value orientations, perceptions of risks in relation to health and development of children, mechanisms and technologies for protecting children from harmful information. Pronounced trends in regulation of mass media for the protection of children include the increase in national differentiation despite the globalization of media communication processes, which the author associates with the diversity of the main sources of dynamics of sociocultural national spaces. The growing commercialization of media industry indicates the need for integrating the capacities of state and civil mechanisms of control over the distribution of media products in the face of the threat of monopolization of media industry.

Application of Linear Free Energy Relationships (LFER) to pKaH+ of Benzimidazolium Cations: Chemical Education Perspective
Authors: Rachuru Sanjeev , Vandanapu Jagannadham
Published: December 2021

Application of Linear Free Energy Relationships (LFER) to pKaH+ data in water at 25o C of deprotonation of protonated fused ring systems like benzimidazolium cations is carried out in the present work. With a good comparison of the sites of substituents with reference to a functional group in benzene ring and the imidazolium ring, an excellent Hammett correlation is observed for the deprotonation of (pKaH+) of protonated fused ring systems like benzimidazolium cations. For the three substituents OH, MeO and Me at position 4 in the benzimidazole satisfy the correlation with I values. A positive Hammet  values of 1.93 indicates that electron withdrawing substituents facilitate the deprotonation. Under the same conditions a Taft * value of 1.11 is obtained for the deprotonation of 2-substituted-benzimidazolium cations. The available pKaH+ data in 5% aq. ethanol at 30o C of 2-methyl benzimidazolium cations and 2-(hydroxyethyl) benzimidazolium cations also followed Hammett correlation. The lower Hammett  value of 0.89 for 2-(hydroxyethyl) benzimidazolium cation series than that of 1.78 of 2-methyl benzimidazolium cation series is explained in terms of strong intramolecular hydrogen bonding in 2-(hydroxyethyl) benzimidazolium cation which resists the easy deprotonation. Deprotonation of 1-substituted-benzimidazolium cations did not follow Hammett relation.

A series of 1,1,4,4-tetracyanobutadienes (TCBD) bearing a large diversity of fluorophores was prepared following a multi-step synthesis. In a crucial last step, all compounds were obtained from the corresponding ynamides which were particularly suitable for the formation of the TCBDs in the presence of tetracyanoethylene via a [2+2] cycloaddition/retroelectrocyclization step (CA-RE). Fluorenyl derivatives including several variations on position 7 and 9, in addition to phenanthrenyl and terphenyl derivatives provided ynamide-based TCBD affording remarkable emission properties covering a large range of wavelengths. Those compounds emit both in solid state and in solution from the visible region to the NIR range, depending on the molecular structures. Quantum yields in cyclohexane reached unforeseen values for such derivatives, up to 7.8%. A huge sensitivity to the environment of the TCBDs has also been unraveled for most of the compounds since we observed a dramatic fall of the quantum yields when changing the solvent from cyclohexane to toluene, while they are almost non-emissive in dichloromethane.
An Electric Field–Based Approach for Quantifying Volumes and Radii of Chemically Affected Space
Authors: Mroz Austin , Davis Joshua , Hendon Christopher

Chemical shape and size play a critical role in chemistry. The van der Waal (vdW) radii, a familiar manifold used to quantify size by assuming overlapping spheres, provides rapid estimates of size in atoms, molecules, and materials. However, the vdW method may be too rigid to describe highly polarized systems and chemical systems that stray from spherical atomistic environments. To deal with these exotic chemistries, numerous alternate methods based on electron density have been presented. While each boasts inherent generality, all define the size of a chemical system, in one way or another, by its electron density. Herein, we revisit the timeless problem of assessing sizes of atoms and molecules, instead through examination of the electric field produced by them. While conceptually different than nuclei-centered methods like that of van der Waal, the field assesses chemically affected volumes. This approac
Gently Does It!: In Situ Preparation of Alkali Metal - Solid Electrolyte Interfaces for Photoelectron Spectroscopy

The key charge transfer processes in energy storage devices occur at the electrode-electrolyte interface, which is typically buried making it challenging to access the interfacial chemistry. In the case of Li-ion batteries, metallic Li electrodes hold promise for increasing energy and power densities, and when used in conjunction with solid electrolytes (SEs) adverse safety implications associated with dendrite formation in organic liquid electrolytes can potentially be overcome. To better understand the stability of SEs when in contact with alkali metals and the reactions that occur, here we consider the deposition of thin (~10 nm) alkali metal films onto SE surfaces, that are thin enough that X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy can probe the buried electrode-electrolyte interface. We highlight the importance of in situ alkali metal deposition, by assessing the contaminant species that are present after glovebox handling and the use of ‘inert’ transfer devices. Consequently, we compare and contrast three available methods for in situ alkali-metal deposition; Li sputter deposition, Li evaporation, and Li plating induced by e− flood-gun irradiation. Studies on both a sulphide SE (Li6PS5Cl), and a single-layer graphene probe surface reveal that the more energetic Li deposition methods, such as sputtering, can induce surface damage and interfacial mixing that is not seen with thermal evaporation. This indicates that appropriate selection of the Li deposition method for in situ studies is required to observe representative behaviour, and the results of previous studies involving energetic deposition may warrant further evaluation.

La cirugía tiene el objetivo supremo de curar, o al menos mejorar al enfermo, con la convicción de que, en un momento dado, es la mejor si no la única opción terapéutica que permite, dentro de lo humanamente posible, ofrecer la eliminación de una patología bajo el sustento de una consciente capacidad profesional y un comportamiento ético. La cirugía laparoscópica o “mínimamente invasiva” es una técnica especializada para realizar cirugía. La cirugía laparoscópica constituye uno de los grandes avances de la cirugía en el siglo XX al poder efectuar las mismas intervenciones que en cirugía abierta, pero evitando grandes incisiones. Generalmente, es la cirugía hecha a nivel abdominal mediante un abordaje a través de pequeñas incisiones entre 2 y 15 mm. De manera técnica consiste en crear un espacio a nivel abdominal tras la introducción de un gas (CO2). Por pequeñas incisiones en el abdomen se introduce una cámara conectada a un televisor o monitor o pantalla, a través del cual se sigue la intervención, y también el instrumental necesario para ejecutar las diferentes maniobras de disección, corte, sutura, etc., que son necesarias en la intervención.

Authors: Susanty Elva
Published: December 2021

Taenia solium taeniasis (taeniasis) and cysticercosis in human are infectious diseases caused by pork tapeworm Taenia solium. They are  zoonotic diseases and still a health problem in the world, especially in developing countries such as Indonesia. The prevalence of taeniasis and cysticercosis in Indonesia is still quite high at 2% - 48% with the highest prevalence in Papua. Human taeniasis can manifest as a asymptomatic or intestinal minimally symptomatic. Cysticercosis can involve of neural tissue (neurocysticercosis) may manifest epilepsy seizure, headache, neurological symptom, cognitive disabilities, and death.  The habit of eating raw or undercooked  pork, lack of sanitation, and a lack of supervision the slaughterhouse are some of the factors causing taeniasis and cysticercosis in human. Avoiding eating raw pork, cooking meat over temperature 54oC, supervision at slaughterhouses, and maintaining hygiene is a way to prevent taeniasis and cysticercosis, therefore it is necesarry to do more intensive programs to prevent and control the diseases.
