INFORMATION SYSTEMS IN FORENSIC EXPERT ACTIVITY
Authors: Filipenko N. Ye.
Published: January 2019

This article is devoted to the consideration of theoretical problems of using information systems in forensic science research. Main features of forensic science research at the present stage are carried out that can be attributed to their high research intensity, use of cybernetics achievements which integrating into criminalistics and forensic science act as a catalyst for further development of its traditional means and methods based on achievements of natural, technical and human sciences. The great influence of informatics on forensic expert practice is due to optimization of cognitive processes; further expert activity automation; rationalization of decisions made using information systems, etc. Despite the extensive practice of applying information flows in the intellectual activity of the modern human and broad theoretical development of this scientific category; today there is no constant definition of the "information" concept. This is explained by a variety of the application of information areas, multidirectional nature of information flows, there are a large number of operators exchanging information, rapid development of modern communication connections and technologies. Information in the field of forensic expert activity is derived from legal information but has a number of individual features. Proceeding from this, the information in the field of forensic expert activity is understood as a information collection about material objects, facts, phenomena and processes containing data about criminal activity circumstances and are investigated by an forensic expert using special knowledge. On the basis of the analysis of scientific opinions the definition about information activity of forensic expert is formulated, which is understood a complex of acts based on laws and regulations, aimed at obtaining information about objects of expert research by implementing a set of information-research, informational-communicative and informational-analytical activities with the purpose of compiling a competent conclusion.

While investigating and prosecuting criminal cases related to illegal drug trade, psychotropic substances and precursors, microobjects found at the scene of crime, as well as on items related to a crime and its participants, assume ever greater evidentiary. In expert practice, narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances often appear as research objects, that are rarely individual compounds. At that greatest difficulties arise while research of substances that are multicomponent systems and mixtures containing a large number of impurity and ballast substances, as well as low concentrations of active substances. So it is difficult to identify the substance that served as the basis for developing a methodology for the investigation of microquantities of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and precursors. Despite the fact that chromatographic analysis is the most common method for the analysis of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and precursors, currently due to high information content, sensitivity and selectivity in the world practice of forensic chemical and medical examination, methods of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and high performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometric detector (HPLC-MS) become one of the most widely used. The use of the HPLC-MS method is the most optimal while research on narcotic, psychotropic substances and precursors by reducing the time of sample preparation, since there is no need for the stage of reagents evaporation and receipt of derivatives, and also it is appear possible to identify non-volatile substances that cannot be analyzed by GC-MS. As a result of the performed researches a methods for the criminalistic research of microquantities of certain narcotic drugs (heroin, morphine, opium, methamphetamine, cocaine, etc.), psychotropic substances (clonidine, bromazepam, ketazolam, trihexyphenidyl, methaqualone, barbital, etc.), precursors (pseudoephedrine, ephedrine) and a poison such as scopolamine using GC-MS and HPLC-MS.
EXPERT RESEARCH ON THE ESTABLISHMENT DISTURBANCES CAUSES OF TRIBOUNITS OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES

Published: January 2019

Recently, the appeals number of individuals and legal entities for establishment disturbances causes in internal combustion engines has increased in the Kharkiv Research Institute of Forensic Examinations. Analyzing the conclusions of performed expert research it was established that one of the main disturbances causes of internal combustion engines is the turning of plain bearings (bearing brass) of crankshaft. Conditions for metals jawing, scratching and grabbing are created during the start-up or turning of the plain bearing when oil does not contact details or while transient operating modes of the engine when the thickness of layer oil is less critical and the surfaces are in contact. This leads to a significant increase of friction surfaces temperature and the destruction of the oil film on. At the same time, the forces acting in the places of actual contact cause stresses exceeding metal yield strength; this leads to the fact that metal plastic deformations occur in thin surface layers, while surface adsorbed oxidizing, gas films and contaminants are destroyed. Simultaneously, the smoothing of irregularities on friction surfaces occurs, thereby their area actual contact is significantly increased. When the friction surfaces close together, interatomic gravities of metals arise, and in the large area of factual contact, metal bonds are formed, similar to interatomic bonds in a continuous metal; this leads to the metal adhesion. This results in a sharp increase of the friction coefficient and intense adhesive deterioration of the rubbing details. It should be noted that provided information can be used by forensic autotechnician experts while research disturbances causes of internal combustion engines.
SPECIFICS OF THE MARKET VALUE DETERMINATION OF THE EQUIPMENT USED IN NUCLEAR POWER STATIONS
Authors: Sabadash I. V.
Published: January 2019

Execution of examinations to determine the market cost of the equipment that is used on Ukrainian nuclear power stations is quite complicated process, since this equipment is unique, manufactured to individual order. For today practical aspects of the specified property estimation, unfortunately, researchers were not properly shined. Considering expert practice at definition of market cost of the equipment used on Ukrainian atomic power stations, merchandising experts face the following problems as identification of research object, choice of research method, substantiation and choice of methodical approaches to an estimation of such property. Since the equipment is specific, its full-scale investigation should be carried out jointly with specialists of specialized enterprises for technical identification of the used property (description of the commodity nomenclature, packaging arrangement, real state). The methods used in performing this type of examination are both general and a separate method of commodity research. We recommended using the cost approach in calculating the market value, namely the application of the method of price actualization. The cost approach is mainly used at estimation if it is impossible to find object-analogue, there is no experience of realization of similar objects or the forecast of the future incomes not stable, the environment of estimated property realization very uncertain and success depends on a significant amount of factors. Therefore, in determining the market value of equipment used on Ukrainian atomic power stations, merchandising expert needs: conduct a full-scale investigation together with specialists from specialized enterprises for technical identification of the investigating property; use both general methods and a separate methods of commodity research; apply a cost approach to valuation, namely the method of price actualization and used price indices of industrial producers.

Authors: Struk I. O. , Kalinichenko M. M.
Published: January 2019

Characters as a component of visual and audiovisual (as well as literary) works are among the objects of intellectual property and are subject to legal protection. The task of a forensic expert is to empirically determine the characters independence level according to objective evaluation criteria that are not presented in corresponding official methods. In the present article the history of the creation and specific features of leading scientific and methodical means and research practices of characters examination as objects of copyright which became significant spread in the modern analytical practice of North American specialists in the forensic science are briefly reviewed. Thanks to efforts of leading North American forensic science in the field of characters protection as objects of intellectual property, several professional methods have been developed and tested at the same time over past few decades and are actively used in court practice. General review of two main methodological tools that are used most often is presented in this article that purpose and task is to generalize and critically analyze the main scientific and methodological concepts of North American forensic experts which are applied in the process of studying the facts of characters use as objects of copyright. Main scientific methodological "tests" used by of the United States forensic experts ("test for a sufficient level of creative expressiveness" and "test of characters embodying essential features of the work") are considered. While general research on examined methodological materials, productive analytical tools were detailed that are worthy of being included in the arsenal of modern Ukrainian forensic science. However, their effective practical application by domestic forensic experts requires a careful critical attitude, appropriate approbation, application of a wide range of research and methodological approaches.

Background: On 13th April 2017, 3 measles cases were reported in Dhok Kazin, Islamabad to National Institute of Health, Islamabad. Federal Disease Surveillance & Response Unit on request of Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) health administration started disease outbreak investigation and active case finding. The study was aimed to identify risk factors associated with disease outbreak, to assess vaccine coverage and vaccine efficacy in the outbreak area, and to suggest control measures. Methods: To determine possible risk factors age and sex matched case-control study was conducted in April, 2017. A case was defined as "Any resident of Dhok Kazin, presented with fever and maculopapular rash with any of signs/symptoms like coryza, conjunctivitis, cough, otitis media or pneumonia after March 20 to April 30, 2017". For each case 04 matched controls were selected. A structured questionnaire prepared to collect data. Vaccine coverage survey was conducted. Uni and multivariate analyses and vaccine efficacy were calculated. Results: A total of 14 cases identified including 11 cases found on active search. Cases were compared with 57 matched controls. Mean age was 39 months (range 08- 132 months). Among cases male to female ratio observed was 1:2.5. Overall attack rate was 1.2%, while most severely affected age-group was <12 months (AR=10.3%). The most common complications were diarrhea n=8 (57.1%) and pneumonia n=1 (7.1%). On vaccine coverage survey in 230 households, 31(70.5%) out of 44 children checked were vaccinated. The un-vaccinated children had attack rate of 14.3% while vaccinated had attack rate of 6.7%. The vaccine efficacy calculated was 53%. Significant association found in risk factors were; contact with positive case [OR 19.5, 95% CI; 4.5-84, P=0.00], unvaccinated children [OR=10.0, 95%, CI;1.2.0-49.3, P= 0.003], Mother illiteracy [OR 10.2, 95% CI; 2.5-41, P=0.00], Misconception about vaccination [OR 13.2, 95%, CI;3.1-57.1, P=0.00), vaccinator not visited home as a part of outreach activity [OR=6.4, 95%CI;1.7-23.4, P=0.00]. Reasons for non-vaccination were found to be misconception about vaccination (OR=34.8, 95%CI=5.5-219.7) and mother's illiteracy (OR=6.4, 95%CI=1.2-34.8). Conclusion: Most severely affected age group was 12 months and below. Low immunization rates were the most probable cause of outbreak. Case contacts, partial vaccination, misconception of vaccination, no visit of vaccinator to home, and mother's education were risk factors significantly associated with Measles outbreak. Findings were shared with the district health authorities for implementation of control measures.

The aim of the study was to see the relationship between urinary incontinence, depression, and life satisfaction in elderly patients. Moreover, it aimed to investigate the predictive role of UI in geriatric depression and life satisfaction in elderly patients. Methods: This was the cross-sectional study. 83 patients (45% male and 55% female) with a mean age of 69 years (51-102 years) were included in this study. Self-report measures were used. Geriatric Depression Scale, Questionnaire for Urinary Incontinence Diagnosis, and life Satisfaction Scale were used for data collection. Results: Results showed that geriatric depression is significantly positively associated with the UI and negatively associated with the Life satisfaction. UI is also negatively associated with Life satisfaction. In addition, age is significantly positively associated with geriatric depression and UI. Duration of illness is significantly positively associated with depression, whereas, education is negatively associated with depression and UI. Regression analysis showed that UI positively predicted the geriatric depression and negatively predicted the life satisfaction. Conclusion: UI positively predicts Geriatric depression and lowers the life satisfaction. Timely assessment and effective management of UI may reduce the depressive symptomatology and enhance life satisfaction. Understanding the associations between these variables can have substantial implications for both clinical work and research in this area.

Published: January 2019

Bike sharing systems (BSSs) are being deployed in many cities because of their environmental, social, and health benefits. To maintain low rental costs, rebalancing costs must be kept minimal. In this paper, we use BSS data collected from the San Francisco Bay Area to build a Markov chain model for each bike station. The models are then used to simulate the BSS to determine the optimal station-specific initial number of bikes for a typical day to ensure that the probability of the station becoming empty or full is minimal and hence minimizing the rebalancing cost.

Authors: Žmavc Janja
Published: January 2019

Category: 1.01 Original scientific paper
Language: Original in English (Abstract in English and Slovenian, Summary in Slovenian)

Key words: rhetorical ethos, implicit meaning, early Roman rhetoric, authority, argumentation

Abstract: The paper explores the possibilities of the interdisciplinary relationship between classical rhetoric and linguistic pragmatics. It presents one of the most popular rhetorical notions (i.e., rhetorical ethos) and its relation to implicit meaning (i.e., another popular notion of pragmatics). The primary objective is to analyze the rhetorical strategy of a speaker's favorable character presentation in the socio-cultural context of early Roman rhetoric. In the analysis, the Aristotelian and the socio-cultural viewpoint on rhetorical ethos is adopted and combined with Verschueren's model of linguistic pragmatics. Rhetorical ethos is further explored in terms of persuasive strategy in the context of different social roles of the orator in ancient Rome with a particular focus on the identification of ethotic strategies, which are related to the notion of authority. A case study based on the notion of types of implicit meaning is presented, focusing on the role of implicitness in the construction of rhetorical ethos in early Roman rhetoric.
Misel o Sloveniji in njeno udejanjenje v času od Majniške deklaracije do oblikovanja Države SHS in Narodne vlade SHS v Ljubljani

Language: Original in Slovenian (Abstract in Slovenian and English, Summary in English)

Key words: May Declaration, Ivan Cankar, Slovenia, Declaration Movement, National Council for Slovenia and Istria, State of SHS, National Government of SHS in Ljubljana

Excerpt: After the proclamation of the May Declaration on May 30, 1917, Ivan Cankar uttered the first mentioning of Slovenia as a national political entity on July 15, 1917. On August 2, 1917, the Catholic All-Slovenian People's Party (VLS) was in favour of the formation of a United Slovenia in the transdualistic Austrian Yugoslav community. In the spring of 1918, the word Slovenia was repeatedly pronounced by the VLS, and Ljubljana was proclaimed the Slovenian capital. With the establishment of the National Council for Slovenia and Istria in Ljubljana on August 16 and 17, 1918, the idea of Slovenia gained political ground. The author interprets the year 1917 and the May Declaration as a historical milestone after which the Slovenian national political development was focused on the formation of a Slovenian state entity and on the simultaneous experience of its national statehood. The autonomy of the Slovenian state law was not preserved in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenians/Yugoslavia, and in the second Yugoslavia it was expressed in the federal position of Slovenia in the composite Yugoslav state. In 1991, with the proclamation of the Republic of Slovenia, Slovenia became a state name.

Amaç: Bu çalışma özel ve devlete bağlı hizmet veren huzurevlerinde uygulanan menülerin kalite kriterlerine uygunluğu ve beslenme yönünden yeterliliğini değerlendirmek amacıyla planlanıp yürütülmüştür.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmada 3 ilde (İstanbul, Ankara, İzmir) 3 özel ve 3 devlet olmak üzere 6 huzurevinin 21 günlük dönüşümlü menülerinin kalite kriterlerine uygunluğu araştırıcılar tarafından geliştirilen bir anket ile değerlendirilmiştir. Menülerin enerji ve besin ögeleri yeterliliklerinin değerlendirilmesinde Diyet ile Referans Alım (DRI) önerilerinin %100’ünü karşılama durumu yeterli olarak kabul edilmiştir.

Bulgular: Menülerin kalite göstergelerine göre puanlarının ortalaması, özel huzurevleri ve devlet huzurevleri için sırasıyla 6.3±2.52 ve 7.3±0.56 olarak bulunmuştur (p>0.05). Özel ve huzurevi menülerinin kalsiyum, folat, posa ve karbonhidrat yönünden yetersiz, enerji, protein, C vitamini ve demir açısından yeterli olduğu saptanmıştır. Menülerin enerjiden gelen yağ yüzdeleri de yüksek bulunmuştur.

Sonuç: Menülerin planlandıktan sonra kalite kriterleri ve beslenme yönünden yeterliliklerinin değerlendirilerek gerekli iyileştirmelerin yapılması yaşlılara yönelik verilen beslenme hizmet kalitesini arttırabilir.

Published: January 2019

Amaç: Açlık durumunun yağ metabolizmasını aktive ettiği iyi bilinmektedir. Bunun yanında son yıllarda, egzersize düşük kas glikojen depoları ile başlamanın normal duruma göre yağ metabolizmasını daha iyi aktive ettiği ve antrenmana daha fazla adaptasyon sağladığı ile ilgili çalışmalar artmıştır. Bu çalışma, düşük kas glikojen depoları ile egzersiz yapılmasının yağ metabolizmasını daha fazla etkileyip etkilemediğini test etmek için planlanmış ve yapılmıştır.

Bireyler ve Yöntem: Araştırmaya 9 erkek, triatlon sporcusu katılmıştır. Bir hafta ara ile, kahvaltıda sıvı besin verilen veya aç (1 gece) durumda egzersiz denemeleri dengeli randomize, çapraz dizaynda gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma öncesi tüm katılımcılar VO2 zirve ve zirve güç değerlerinin belirlenmesi için VO2 zirve testine katılmışlardır. Katılımcılar her iki durumda (Sıvı besin Egzersiz: SE1, SE2 ve Aç Egzersiz: AE1, AE2) %70 VO2 zirve’de 60 dk süren iki egzersiz denemesini 1 saat dinlenme aralığı ile yapmışlardır. Böylece ikinci egzersiz denemelerinin düşük kas glikojeni ile yapılması hedeflenmiştir.

Bulgular: Toplam yağ oksidasyonu, SE1-SE2 (13.4±6.7 g/60 dk ve 23.9±7.6 g/60 dk, p<0.001) ve SE1-AE2 (13.4±6.7 g/60 dk ve 27.4±6.0 g/60 dk, p=0.002) egzersizleri arasında anlamlı derecede artmıştır.

Sonuç: Bu araştırma kapsamında bir gece açlık sonrası düşük kas glikojen depoları ile yapılan egzersizin sıvı besin alınan durumda yapılana göre yağ metabolizmasının arttırılmasında daha fazla bir etkinliğinin olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Bu bulgular, yağ metabolizmasındaki etkinliği arttıran esas belirleyici etmenin karaciğer glikojen depolarından çok kas glikojen depolarınının seviyesi olduğunu göstermektedir.

Çikolata, bileşimindeki kakao oranı ve yapımında kullanılan maddelere göre bitter çikolata, sütlü çikolata vb. olarak adlandırılır. Kakao oranı ile en zengin olan bitter çikolatanın sağlık üzerine etkileri pek çok çalışmada değerlendirilmiş ancak tutarlı sonuçlar elde edilememiştir. Bazı araştırmalar, kakaonun yararlı etkisinin ancak çiğ tüketimi ile mümkün olabileceğini vurgularken, bazıları bitter çikolatanın yüksek doymuş yağ ve şeker içeriği nedeniyle vücut ağırlığında artışa neden olabileceğine dikkat çekmektedir. Bunun yanı sıra, kakao ve çikolata, teobromin ve kafein içeriğinden dolayı, belirgin yüksek nabız ile ilişkilendirilmekte, bu nedenle aritmisi olanlarda ve yaşlı hastalarda tüketiminin kısıtlanması gerektiği belirtilmektedir. Bununla birlikte, çikolatanın olumlu etkileri olduğunu gösteren bir çok çalışma da bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmalarda, çikolatada bulunan sağlıksız bileşenlere karşılık, olumlu etkilerinin değerlendirilmesi gerektiği vurgulanmakta, istenmeyen olumsuz etkileri engellemek için uygun miktarlarda tüketilmesi gerektiği belirtilmektedir. Bu derlemede, çikolata ve sağlık beyanları üzerine yapılan çalışmalar ve sonuçları değerlendirilmiştir.

Published: January 2019

Fitoöstrojenler doğal veya yapay östrojenik bileşiklere benzer kimyasal yapılara sahip bitkiler tarafından üretilen steroid olmayan bileşiklerdir. Fitoöstrojenler, östrojene spesifik reseptörlere affinite göstererek zayıf östrojenik etki göstermektedirler. Bu nedenle üreme sağlığı üzerine etkileri konusundaki çalışmalar gün geçtikçe yoğunlaşmaktadır. Bu derleme makale, pek çok fizyolojik rolü olduğu bilinen fitoöstrojenlerin kadın ve erkek üreme sağlığı üzerindeki etkilerini belirlemek amacıyla hazırlanmıştır. Çalışmalar, özellikle yenidoğan dönemde fitoöstrojenlere (soya-izoflavon) dikkatle yaklaşılması gerektiğini, ileriki dönemlerde özellikle kızlarda seksüel dimorfik davranışları ve gelişimsel süreçlerini etkileyebileceğini göstermektedir. Aynı zamanda, fitoöstrojenlerin erken puberte başlangıcı ile ilişkili olabileceği, premenopozal dönemde mensturasyon siklusunda düzensizliklere neden olabileceği, postmenopozal dönemde ise semptomların azalmasını sağlayarak olumlu etkileri bulunabileceği görülmüştür. Erkeklerde ise fitoöstrojenlerin üreme sağlığı üzerine etkisi bulunmamıştır. Memelilerin gelişimsel süreçleri göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, evrelere göre fitoöstrojenlerin üreme sağlığı üzerine olumlu ya da olumsuz sayılabilecek önemli etkileri bulunmaktadır. Fitoöstrojenlerin etkileri üzerine insan çalışmaları sınırlı olsa da çalışmaların sonuçları yapılan pek çok sayıdaki hayvan çalışmaları ile benzerlik göstermektedir. Ancak, çalışmalardaki yöntemsel farklılıklar sonucu ortaya çıkan çelişkili sonuçlar fitoöstrojenlerin üreme sağlığı üzerindeki etkisini değerlendirmeyi güçleştirmektedir.
