Potential Use of Touch DNA in Terrorism Cases: A Report of Four Cases
No full textThe Kingdom of Bahrain is one of the few countries thathas significant numbers of terrorist investigations, which hasallowed our scientists to develop expertise in the forensic examinationof post and pre-blast explosive exhibits. This paperpresents a review of forensic investigations into improvisedexplosive device (IED) cases in the Kingdom of Bahrain from2011.A total of four IED investigations were reviewed (i.e Directionallyfocused charges (DFC), Directional Focused FragmentationCharge (DFFC) and Explosively formed penetrator/projectiles (EFP). DNA recovery utilized different collectionmethods, such as swabbing, tape lifting, wiping and directcutting of certain separated parts of the IEDs. Samples wereextracted and purified with magnetic beads chemistry andquantified. Low copy DNA extracts were subjected to differentconcentration steps, and DNA extracts were amplified andprocessed for detection to obtain reliable results. Using the resultsof the study, we have developed the concept of ForensicDNA Intelligence, which involves the extraction of human cellsdeposited in low copy number in challenging areas within theevidence which can lead to significant results.This article will be very useful and informative to assist theforensic community in terrorism cases applications worldwide.Continued efforts must be made to re-evaluate standard operatingprotocols with empirical studies
A Rare Case of Cerebral Hemangioblastoma Mimicking as Anterior Choroid Plexus Cyst
No full textAbstractA choroid plexus cyst may be present throughout the ventricularsystem of the brain. A hemangioblastoma is generally found inpatients with genetic diseases like Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndromedisease, but it can also be found sporadically in the spinalcord, retina and in rare cases in the cerebrum.An eighteen-year-old male subject was referred for autopsyin Kolkata police morgue on 27/02/2017. Two hours before, thepatient had been brought to the hospital for severe headache; butbefore any diagnosis could be made, he collapsed and died. Onautopsy, a 4cm fluid filled cyst was found in the anterior portionof third ventricle and sent for histopathological examination. HPEfindings were consistent with a hemangioblastoma, which madethis case extremely rare.Sudden death due to increased intracranial tension cases shouldbe properly examined for any neuroepithelial tumours like a hemangioblastoma
A URL with Image-based Feature Extraction for Preventing Phishing Attacks
No full textCurrently, Phishing is a type of attack in which cyber criminals tricks the victims to steal their personal and financial data. It has become an organized criminal activity. Spoofed emails claiming to be from legitimate source are crafted in a way to lead victims to reveal their personal, financial data by misdirecting them to the counterfeit website. We compared previous password protection solutions, some of the presented solutions use specialized equipment or additional servers to protect passwords. Other solutions are prone to spoofing and phishing attacks as well as introduce usability issues. Also these solutions do not address the challenge of protecting passwords against the adversary who can, for instance, exploit server-side software vulnerabilities. Our goal is enhancing the best solution to prevent phishing by alerting the users from phishing websites when detected based on URL with image-based feature extraction method.Currently, Phishing is a type of attack in which cyber criminals tricks the victims to steal their personal and financialdata.

No full textلا شك في أن اهتمام المملكة العربية السعودية بالأشخاص ذوي الاحتياجات الخاصة بدأ منذ تأسيس المملكة العربية السعودية، وقد ازداد منذ أكثر من عقدين من الزمن، ومع ذلك استطاعت المملكة خلال هذه الفترة القصيرة أن تحقق ما لم تصل إليه الكثير من الدول المتقدمة في هذا المجال، وترجع أهمية الدراسة إلى التنبؤ بأعداد الأشخاص ذوي الاحتياجات الخاصة في المملكة حتى عام 1448هـ، وذلك باستخدام الأساليب الإحصائية المناسبة لتقدير هذه التوقعات.
وخلصت الدراسة إلى عدد من التوصيات منها: تصميم مبانٍ نموذجية تتناسب وحاجات الأشخاص ذوي الإعاقة شريطة أن يتم تصميمها بطاقات استيعابية متدرجة تناسب حجم الطلب على الخدمة، أن تكون مراكز الرعاية النهارية بطاقات استيعابية صغيرة حتى يمكن تغطية الأحياء وتقليل المسافة بين المراكز ومكان إقامة أسرة المعوق، تعميم مراكز التأهيل الشامل بقدر الإمكان، حيث يمكن تقديم الخدمات الطبية والمساعدة، تعميم خدمات دور الرعاية الاجتماعية للمسنين في جميع مناطق المملكة.From its foundation, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia “KSA” pays attention to persons with special needs. This attention has increased during the last two decades. KSA has made achievements surpassing experiences of many developing countries at caring with persons with special needs. Therefore, the study relies on an important objective that seeks to predict the number of persons with special needs in KSA till 1448 A.H. by using the suitable statistical methods for identifying the required prediction.
The study presents some recommendations which include the following: Standard buildings suitable to needs of persons with special needs should be designed to have progressive capacities satisfying the need for service. Day care centers should have small capacities in order to cover quarters, and distances from such centers and place of residence of person with special needs family should be reduced. Comprehensive rehabilitation centers should be disseminated in all areas by all possible ways. Accordingly, medical and assistance services can be provided. Services offered by old people’s homes for social care should be extended to include all KSA’s areas

No full textهدفت الدراسة إلى تحديد درجة الواقع والمأمول لآليات تطبيق الشرطة المجتمعية للحد من الجريمة في فلسطين من وجهة نظر ضباط الشرطة، إضافة إلى تحديد الفروق في الواقع الحالي والمأمول تبعًا إلى متغيرات الرتبة العسكرية، والمؤهل العلمي، ونوع العمل عند الضباط، ولتحقيق ذلك أجريت الدراسة على عينة قوامها (132) ضابطًا، وطبقت عليها استبانة مكونة من (40) فقرة موزعة على ثلاثة مجالات للآليات هي: (الإداري، والاجتماعي، والثقافي والإعلامي).
وأظهرت نتائج الدراسة أن درجة الواقع قليلة، ودرجة المأمول كبيرة، ووجود فروق بينهما لصالح المأمول، ولا توجد فروق ذات دلالة إحصائية في الواقع تبعًا للمتغيرات المستقلة، ووجود فروق في المأمول تبعًا للمؤهل العلمي لصالح المؤهل الأعلى ، ونوع العمل لصالح العمل الإداري. ولم تكن الفروق في المأمول دالة إحصائيًّا تبعًا لمتغير الرتبة العسكريةThis study seeks to identify the reality and expectation of mechanisms of community-oriented policing in order to reduce crime in Palestine according to police officers’ viewpoints. It shows the differences between reality and expectations in the light of different variables: military ranks, academic qualifications, and the type of duties assigned to police officers. To achieve the study’s objective, the study sample includes (132) officers, and its tool is a questionnaire with (40) paragraphs divided into three fields of mechanisms: administrative, social, and cultural & media.
The study shows that reality is much less than expectation. There are no differences with a statistical significance according to the independent variables. Moreover, there are differences for expected results related to academic qualifications in favor of the higher qualifications, and related to work type in favor of administrative work. The differences for the expected results have no statistical significance according to the military rank variable
International Trade Conflicts between Judiciary and Arbitration: A Comparative Study
No full textينفق قضاء الدولة والتحكيم في هدف واحد، هو الفصل في المنازعات بحل عادل وملزم، والتقييم الصحيح لمزايا التحكيم يقود إلى تحقيق دور كبير في حل منازعات التجارة الدولية.
وعامة، إن كان التحكيم من أهم الوسائل البديلة عن القضاء لحل منازعات التجارة الدولية، فإن اتفاق الأطراف على اللجوء للتحكيم لفض منازعاتهم التجارية، لا يعني انقطاع صلة هذا النزاع بقضاء الدولة؛ لأن اتفاق التحكيم لا ينزع الاختصاص من قضاء الدولة، فإذا واجهت إجراءات التحكيم أي عقبة خلال أي مرحلة من مراحله، فإنه يتم اللجوء لقضاء الدولة؛ لإزالة هذه العقبات وتذليلها، سواء عند بدء إجراءات التحكيم أو أثناء سير الخصومة أو عند صدور الحكم وتنفيذه. وهو ما حرص المنظم السعودي على تأكيده في نظام التحكيم السعودي الجديد ولائحته التنفيذية، مواكبةً للبيئة القانونية الدولية.The national judiciary and arbitration agree on one objective: settling conflicts by a just obligatory ruling. The sound evaluation of the advantages of arbitration plays an important role in settling international trade conflicts.
In general, arbitration is one of the most important tools substituting the judiciary for settling international trade conflicts. When parties agree to resort to arbitration for settling their commercial conflicts, that does not mean disconnecting this conflict from the national judiciary. The arbitration agreement cannot divest the jurisdiction of a national judiciary. If arbitration procedures face any obstacles during any phase, the national judiciary will be the body concerned with the removal of such obstacles at the beginning of the arbitration procedures, during litigation, or when issuing and executing a judicial ruling. The Saudi legislator affirms the jurisdiction of the national judiciary in the new Saudi arbitration system and its executive regulation to be compatible to the international legal environment
