Asleep deep brain stimulation with intraoperative magnetic resonance guidance: a single-institution experience
Authors: Segar David J. , Tata Nalini , Harary Maya , Hayes Michael T. , Cosgrove G. Rees 
Published: August 2021

OBJECTIVE
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is traditionally performed on an awake patient with intraoperative recordings and test stimulation. DBS performed under general anesthesia with intraoperative MRI (iMRI) has demonstrated high target accuracy, reduced operative time, direct confirmation of target placement, and the ability to place electrodes without cessation of medications. The authors describe their initial experience with using iMRI to perform asleep DBS and discuss the procedural and radiological outcomes of this procedure.

METHODS
All DBS electrodes were implanted under general anesthesia by a single surgeon by using a neuronavigation system with 3-T iMRI guidance. Clinical outcomes, operative duration, complications, and accuracy were retrospectively analyzed.

RESULTS
In total, 103 patients treated from 2015 to 2019 were included, and all but 1 patient underwent bilateral implantation. Indications included Parkinson’s disease (PD) (65% of patients), essential tremor (ET) (29%), dystonia (5%), and refractory epilepsy (1%). Targets included the globus pallidus pars internus (12.62% of patients), subthalamic nucleus (56.31%), ventral intermedius nucleus of the thalamus (30%), and anterior nucleus of the thalamus (1%). Technically accurate lead placement (radial error ≤ 1 mm) was obtained for 98% of leads, with a mean (95% CI) radial error of 0.50 (0.46–0.54) mm; all leads were placed with a single pass. Predicted radial error was an excellent predictor of real radial error, underestimating real error by only a mean (95% CI) of 0.16 (0.12–0.20) mm. Accuracy remained high irrespective of surgeon experience, but procedure time decreased significantly with increasing institutional and surgeon experience (p = 0.007), with a mean procedure duration of 3.65 hours. Complications included 1 case of intracranial hemorrhage (asymptomatic) and 1 case of venous infarction (symptomatic), and 2 patients had infection at the internal pulse generator site. The mean ± SD voltage was 2.92 ± 0.83 V bilaterally at 1-year follow-up. Analysis of long-term clinical efficacy demonstrated consistent postoperative improvement in clinical symptoms, as well as decreased drug doses across all indications and follow-up time points, including mean decrease in levodopa-equivalent daily dose by 53.57% (p < 0.0001) in PD patients and mean decrease in primidone dose by 61.33% (p < 0.032) in ET patients at 1-year follow-up.

CONCLUSIONS
A total of 205 leads were placed in 103 patients by a single surgeon under iMRI guidance with few operative complications. Operative time trended downward with increasing institutional experience, and technical accuracy of radiographic lead placement was consistently high. Asleep DBS implantation with iMRI appears to be a safe and effective alternative to standard awake procedures.
FORENSIC EXAMINATION IN CIVIL AND ECONOMIC PROCEEDINGS AS A SEPARATE FORM OF SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE USE
Authors: Vasiliev V. 
Published: August 2021

The attention in the article is drawn to the fact that despite the obvious need to bring special knowledge into civil and economic procedural proof, this process is progressing rather slowly as the modern practice of using special knowledge constantly reveals gaps and collisions in procedural norms. Defining forensic science as a separate form of using special knowledge, the article focuses on the interpretation of the “special knowledge” concept by scientists, and concludes that scientific papers explicitly indicate that special knowledge is used by a limited number of specialists, they are inherent in a particular science; could be obtained in the process of training, special training and are applied according to the requirements of current legislation.
It is noted that a separate procedural form of special knowledge application is the results of forensic examinations, i.e. for forensic examination conduct it is necessary to involve a specialist who, according to the current legislation, possesses the required sum of special knowledge, which allows him to competently conduct measures that are his functional responsibilities − to provide a forensic report based on their own special, professional knowledge. It is argued that according to the evidence classification, the forensic opinion belongs to personal sources of evidence and, if there are no grounded reasons for disagreement with it, should be taken for granted and used in evidence as a result of research work of an authoritative specialist. It is also emphasized that the forensic report, as an independent forensic evidence in the case, can only be the result of forensic examination, appointed and conducted in strict accordance with the requirements of economic or civil procedural law, the signs by which the forensic report differs from other means of evidence are described. The features that distinguish forensic examination from examinations carried out in other areas of human activity are outlined. It is established that the means of verifying a forensic report in civil and economic proceedings are forensic expert testimony, other evidence provided by the procedure participants and comparing the report with the latter, as well as stressed that the distinction between verification and evaluation of evidence should be conducted according to individual criteria, their characteristic is given.
TYPES OF IDENTITY DOCUMENTS INSPECTION WHILE CROSSING THE STATE BORDER OF UKRAINE (Review Article)
Authors: Talianchuk L. 
Published: August 2021

Inspection of passport documents is divided into types according to the following criteria: 1) by entities (the first category includes employees of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine who possess special knowledge and have undergone appropriate training; the second one comprises of prosecutors, units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Security Service of Ukraine; the third one includes only forensic experts with corresponding forensic qualifications; the fourth category comprises of other employees who have the right to inspect documents (representatives of travel agencies, banking institutions, notaries, judges and others)); 2) by inspection sites (at checkpoints: a) at border checkpoints (specially selected buildings with equipment), b) in vehicles and at the places of foreign vehicles parking; c) in specially designated control areas: in ports, fishing enterprises, berths, in the territory of neighboring states; d) outside checkpoints at places where persons are being examined (in a train car, in buses); in workrooms, offices or outside).
During inspection, entities should undertake the following procedure: a) determine the type of passport document; b) examine general appearance; c) check its details; d) examine photo cards; e) pages are studied; e) establish the validity of existing visas; g) use appropriate technical equipment to detect signs of complete or partial forgery in passport documents.
The peculiarities of studying these documents were also systematized and considered above in order to identify signs of forgery, such as: time and place, professional qualification of survey participants, technical support, purpose and result of inspection, procedure for detecting and fixing signs of forgery. The study of documents requires possessing special knowledge, practical skills of checking passport documents which is extremely important in investigation and prevention of criminal offenses related to forgery of identity documents when crossing the state border of Ukraine.
PREHISTORY OF FORMATION OF FORENSIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ANALYSIS IN THE CONTEXT OF FORENSIC ACTIVITY GENESIS IN UKRAINE (FROM THE TIME OF KIEVAN PRINCIPALITY TO THE FIRST WORLD WAR) (Review Article)
Authors: Fedorenko V. , Kovalenko V. , Gaidai O. 
Published: August 2021

Preconditions for emergence of forensic intellectual property analysis in Ukraine and abroad in the period from the 10th to the beginning of 20th century in the context of forensic science genesis are comprehensively analyzed in the article. The following sources of court proceedings of the Kyivan Principality (Russia) Epoch and the so-called “Dark ages” (in the 12th/14th centuries), as “Russkaya Pravda”, treaties of appanage princes with grand princes and between each other, charters and letters patent of princes, sudebniky, etc., along with the Statutes of Lithuania (16th century) and others are considered. It is argued that emergence of forensic science in Europe was linked to origin and nature of evidence in court proceedings. Forensic experts are involved when their findings become legitimate evidence for court in criminal and civil proceedings. It is emphasized that for the first time the procedural status of a forensic expert as the “third party expert” is regulated in the Statute of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Empire of 1864 (Articles 112, 690, 691, 692, 698, etc.).
It is noted that the establishment of forensic activities in the field of intellectual property was preceded by legitimization of intellectual property rights in Austria-Hungary, England, Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, Russia, the USA, France in the 18th century, as well as the establishment of administrative and judicial mechanisms for its protection. At the same time, the practice of involving experts in consideration of copyright disputes over scientific, literary and artistic works, inventions, etc., was uncommon in the 19th century.
In 1913, offices of forensic science under the prosecutors of the Kyiv and Odessa Judicial Chambers, which contributed to institutionalization of forensic activities and professionalism of forensic experts were established. These circumstances created conditions for initiation of forensic intellectual properrty analysis. However, the First World War pushed the litigation over the right to intellectual property to the background.
REGARDING RELATION BETWEEN CLASSIFICATION OF FORENSIC SCIENCE GENERAL THEORY TASKS AND PRACTICAL FORENSIC ACTIVITY (Review Article)
Authors: Polianskyi A. , Juodkaite-Granskiene G. 
Published: August 2021

The article analyzes conceptual foundations, views and ideas as to understanding of the essence of the classification of forensic science general theory tasks. The main views of scientists concerning classification of forensic examination typical tasks are analyzed. Information is established by examining properties of individual objects or characteristics of several objects interaction process. Special (individual) tasks of the forensic science general theory include: research on the development and formation of forensic examination types, expansion of the scope of their practical application; design of the latest types and kids of forensic examinations in connection with the emergence of modern facilities or improvement of methods and techniques existing in forensic practice; modernization of software for an expert workstation; improvement of the practical activities of forensic experts and emergence of scientific research innovative tasks in the field of forensic science; planned enhancement of existing scientific knowledge and improvement of general and individual theories of forensic science; development (taking into account current realities) of methods and techniques for assessing an expert conclusion.
Having analyzed the trends in the development of individual theories of forensic science and forensic practice, we suggest to supplement the outlined special tasks of forensic science theory with the following: development of systemic links between state and non-state entities of forensic activity; development and rationalization of organizational foundations of forensic activity, including the development of an individual rating of a particular forensic expert and of a forensic science institute in general.
It has been proved that a scientifically grounded classification of forensic science general theory tasks and general tasks of practical forensic activity increases efficiency of forensic activity implementation, helps to identify and investigate crimes, to establish circumstances to be proved in a particular case in the manner stipulated by a corresponding procedural legislation of Ukraine.
SUGGESTIONS ON AMENDING THE METHODOLOGY OF ESTABLISHING THE OBJECT BELONGING TO FIREAREMS AMMUNITION AND ITS SUITABILITY FOR FIRING
Authors: Krykunenko O. , Sohor T. 
Published: August 2021

The article considers structural features of certain types of cartridges in relation to firearms, as well as non-combat cartridges, auxiliary cartridges and products that are structurally similar to cartridges, which are submitted for research as part of forensic firearm examination, especially in connection with the ongoing war in Ukraine, occupation of part of its territory and as a result with mass distribution of illegal weapons and ammunition in Ukraine. The article outlines problematic issues of dismantling cartridges in relation to small arms of large caliber, cartridges loaded with special bullets, particular types of silent bullets, non-combat cartridges. The article also highlights issues of optimizing actions of a forensic expert while research, the objects of which are products that are structurally similar to small arms cartridges, but loaded with propellants, pyrotechnic mixtures, poisonous substances, along with products that coincide with small arms cartridges in size and partially in design.
Backlog of approaches incorporated in the current methodology for researching ammunition is identified in the article and practical need for updates and additions is actualized.
Proposals were raised to amend the Methodology aimed at increasing safety of forensic firearm examinations, regulating actions of a forensic expert in deciding on dismantling cartridges. It is suggested to use modern devices for reloading cartridges in forensic practice to provide a better and safer research. A procedure for a forensic expert course of action while study of cartridges which are sent for forensic examination in a single copy to minimize the impact on both the object under study and its components, is proposed.
Herbicide Resistant Weeds

Published: August 2021

Herbicide performance is a complex issue that is influenced by many factors. These include spray coverage, application method, herbicide rate, environmental conditions, and weed size, to name a few. Poor or incomplete control may also be due to the ability of a weed to tolerate a particular herbicide. Herbicide tolerance is the inherent ability of a species to survive following a herbicide treatment. There was no selection to make the plant tolerant; it simply possesses a natural tolerance.

Management of Spittlebugs in Limpograss Pasture
Authors: Adjei Martin B. , Sprenkel Richard , Selph Jim 
Published: August 2021

The twolined spittlebug (Prosapia bicincta Say) causes considerable damage to 'Floralta' limpograss (Hemarthria altissima [Poir] Stapf and C.E. Hubb) pastures in south Florida during the summer season. Both adults and immatures or nymphs damage grasses by inserting their needle-like mouthparts and sucking plant juices. The adults also inject toxic saliva into leaf tissue while feeding, which causes streaking on the leaves. Tips of infested grass turn yellow, followed by browning and curling. Heavily infested pasture turns brown, becomes unproductive and may die back in large patches (Figure 1). This document is SS-AGR-106, one of a series of the Agronomy Department, UF/IFAS Extension.

Addressing Misconceptions about Wildland-Urban Interface Issues
Authors: Monroe Martha C. 
Published: August 2021

Residents in the wildland-urban interface probably have some notions about their local environment. They may have an experience, or may have heard something from neighbors, which helps them construct explanations and understandings that make sense to them. The challenge for extension agents and resource managers is to understand the beliefs that are interfering with the acceptance of new concepts, acknowledge them, show how they are incomplete, and help people restructure their mental models to accommodate the new information. Educators have to do this all the time, but it is a new technique for extension agents and resource managers. While it may be easiest to address misconceptions when speaking to an individual, it is important to consider how to use this concept when speaking to a group, when writing a newsletter article, or when talking to the media.
