70. VERSION AS A VARIETY OF HYPOTHESIS

In historical, sociological or political research, as well as in judicial and investigative practice, when explaining individual facts or a set of circumstances, a number of hypotheses are often put forward that explain these facts in different ways. Such hypotheses are called versions (from Latin - modify).

version in court proceedings - one of the possible hypotheses explaining the origin or properties of individual legally significant circumstances or the crime as a whole.

When investigating crimes and litigation, versions are built that are different in content and coverage of the circumstances. Among them, there are general and private versions.

General version - this is an assumption that explains all crimes as a whole as a single system of specific circumstances. She answers not one, but many interrelated questions, clarifying the entire set of legally significant circumstances of the case. The most important among these questions will be: what crime was committed? who did it? where, when, under what circumstances and in what way was it committed? What are the goals, motives of the crime, and the guilt of the criminal?

The unknown real reason about which the version is created is not the principle of development or an objective pattern, but a specific set of actual circumstances that make up a single crime. Covering all the issues to be clarified in court, such a version bears the features of a general summarizing assumption that explains the entire crime as a whole.

A private version is an assumption that explains individual circumstances of the crime in question.. Being unknown or little-known, each of the circumstances can be the subject of independent research; for each of them, versions are also created that explain the features and origin of these circumstances.

Examples of private versions can be the following assumptions: about the whereabouts of stolen items or about the whereabouts of the offender; about the accomplices of the act; about the method of penetration of the offender to the place of the act; about the motives for committing a crime, and many others.

Private and general versions are closely interconnected with each other in the process of investigation. The knowledge obtained with the help of private versions serves as the basis for constructing, concretizing and clarifying the general version explaining the criminal act as a whole. In turn, the general version makes it possible to outline the main directions for putting forward private versions about the circumstances of the case that have not yet been identified.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

The brain predicts the future 12.12.2018

We constantly predict the future, and there is no mysticism here. For example, a driver, seeing how a red traffic light has changed from yellow, to get ready to take off - he knows that there will be a green signal soon. Or when we just tap out the rhythm to the sound of music - our finger begins to move in advance to get into the rhythm beat. In this sense, predicting the future is indeed commonplace; moreover, without such a skill, our life would be much more difficult.

But it's easy to see that the example of the driver is not like the example of tapping the rhythm. In the first case, the brain guesses the future based on past experience: we know that after a yellow signal, green always lights up. In the second case, the brain feels the rhythm, and even if we have not heard this music before, we can still follow the rhythmic pattern.

Researchers from the University of California at Berkeley found that different areas of the brain are responsible for both types of predictions. Patients with Parkinson's syndrome and cerebellar degeneration participated in the experiments: they were shown multi-colored squares replacing each other on the screen - red, white and green, with white after red and green after white. It was necessary to predict the appearance of green by pressing a special button.

But in one case, the squares appeared with a constant rhythm, and in the other case, the time between red and green was constantly changing. That is, the appearance of green could be predicted either by rhythm or by focusing on the white square. Squares with a constant rhythm felt worse in patients with Parkinson's syndrome, and where there was no clear rhythm and it was necessary to focus on the previous white, big problems arose in patients with cerebellar degeneration.

Parkinson's disease affects the so-called basal ganglia, which have quite a few different functions. Obviously, among other things, they control "rhythmic predictions". The cerebellum, apparently, controls the ability to guess events by their sequence, when we know that one must necessarily be followed by something else. It used to be believed that both types of "guessing the future" are regulated by the same system of nerve centers. Perhaps now that we know that there are actually two of these systems, we can better understand the nature of some neuropsychiatric disorders accompanied by impairments to speech, attention, and other higher cognitive functions.
