    Diagnosis of perpetrators of killing and bodily harm is a complex mystery in terms of science, law and jurisprudence. It is possible to identify the perpetrator through known reasons for proving a crime, such as confession, testimony, evidence, and suspicion of a crime or oath. However, conflicting reasons may make it difficult or impossible to identify and determine the perpetrator. If it is not possible to identify and determine the perpetrator due to the conflict of reasons for proving the crime or the hesitation of the perpetrator between certain or indefinite persons, it will be difficult to reach the truth.There are four different theories in law and jurisprudence based on jurisprudential and narrative sources; The rule of lottery, the theory of fall of retaliation and payment of blood money from the treasury, the theory of equality of responsibility and the theory of criminal joint liability. Each of the views has its advantages and disadvantages, so it is not possible to accept a single theory in this regard.This research, with the method of library study, seeks to propose different points of view and provide solutions to explain the issue of the uncertainty of the perpetrator and the conditions arising from it in two situations of the possibility or impossibility of detection

    Many of the features of photonic devices, including some of the most ubiquitous components such as resonators and waveguides, are usually thought to be intrinsically dependent on their geometry and constitutive materials. As such, the behaviour of an optical field interacting with such devices is dictated by the boundary conditions imposed upon the field. For instance, the resonant wavelengths and linewidths of a planar cavity are expected to be set by the mirrors\u27 reflectivity, cavity length, and refractive index. Henceforth, satisfying a longitudinal phase-matching condition allows for incident light to resonate with the cavity. As another example, consider the planar waveguide; the field is confined along one transverse dimension, but diffracts along the other unbounded dimension. We have recently introduced several strategies for challenging these long-held intuitions that may be collected under the moniker \u27space-time (ST) photonics\u27, whereby the response of a photonic device is tailored post-fabrication in useful ways by sculpting the spatio-temporal structure of the incident optical field. In fact, introducing a prescribed relationship between the spatial frequencies and the temporal frequencies can help overcome the constraints imposed by the boundary conditions. We refer to such pulsed beam configurations as ST wave packets. In one scenario, introducing carefully designed angular dispersion into a pulsed field allows the realization of omni-resonance: the pulse traverses the cavity without spectral filtering even if the pulse bandwidth is larger than the cavity resonant linewidth after the entire bandwidth resonates with it. A similar strategy enables a new class of planar waveguide modes we refer to as \u27hybrid guided ST modes\u27 where the field is confined along the unbounded dimension through ST coupling. Crucially, the spatio-temporal structure introduced into the field along the unbounded dimension enables overturning the impact of the boundary conditions along the other dimension. For example, the modal size, index, and dispersion can all be engineered independently of the thickness and refractive index of the planar waveguide; i.e., the impact of the boundary conditions is overturned

    Visible 100-nm-bandwidth omni-resonant imaging through a planar Fabry-P\'erot cavity

    We demonstrate broadband omni-resonant imaging through a planar Fabry-P\'erot cavity over a bandwidth of 100~nm in the visible. The omni-resonant bandwidth exceeds the bare cavity resonant linewidth of  ⁣0.5\approx\!0.5~nm and even its free-spectral-range of  ⁣45\sim\!45~nm. Rather than modifying the cavity structure, omni-resonance is achieved by judiciously structuring the incident field to couple to an achromatic resonance, thus enabling omni-resonant imaging over an unprecedented bandwidth (200×200\times spectral broadening) using coherent or incoherent light, spatially extended or localized fields, and stationary or moving sources

    Theory of space-time supermodes in planar multimode waveguides

    Full text link
    When an optical pulse is focused into a multimode waveguide or fiber, the energy is divided among the available guided modes. Consequently, the initially localized intensity spreads transversely, the spatial profile undergoes rapid variations with axial propagation, and the pulse disperses temporally. Space-time (ST) supermodes are pulsed guided field configurations that propagate invariantly in multimode waveguides by assigning each mode to a prescribed wavelength. ST supermodes can be thus viewed as spectrally discrete, guided-wave counterpart of the recently demonstrated propagation-invariant ST wave packets in free space. The group velocity of an ST supermode is tunable independently -- in principle -- of the waveguide structure, group-velocity dispersion is eliminated or dramatically curtailed, and the time-averaged intensity profile is axially invariant along the waveguide in absence of mode-coupling. We establish here a theoretical framework for studying ST supermodes in planar waveguides. Modal engineering allows sculpting this axially invariant transverse intensity profile from an on-axis peak or dip (dark beam), to a multi-peak or flat distribution. Moreover, ST supermodes can be synthesized using spectrally incoherent light, thus paving the way to potential applications in optical beam delivery for lighting applications

    Global, regional, and national comparative risk assessment of 79 behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks or clusters of risks, 1990-2015: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015

    SummaryBackground The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2015 provides an up-to-date synthesis of the evidence for risk factor exposure and the attributable burden of disease. By providing national and subnational assessments spanning the past 25 years, this study can inform debates on the importance of addressing risks in context. Methods We used the comparative risk assessment framework developed for previous iterations of the Global Burden of Disease Study to estimate attributable deaths, disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), and trends in exposure by age group, sex, year, and geography for 79 behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks or clusters of risks from 1990 to 2015. This study included 388 risk-outcome pairs that met World Cancer Research Fund-defined criteria for convincing or probable evidence. We extracted relative risk and exposure estimates from randomised controlled trials, cohorts, pooled cohorts, household surveys, census data, satellite data, and other sources. We used statistical models to pool data, adjust for bias, and incorporate covariates. We developed a metric that allows comparisons of exposure across risk factors—the summary exposure value. Using the counterfactual scenario of theoretical minimum risk level, we estimated the portion of deaths and DALYs that could be attributed to a given risk. We decomposed trends in attributable burden into contributions from population growth, population age structure, risk exposure, and risk-deleted cause-specific DALY rates. We characterised risk exposure in relation to a Socio-demographic Index (SDI). Findings Between 1990 and 2015, global exposure to unsafe sanitation, household air pollution, childhood underweight, childhood stunting, and smoking each decreased by more than 25%. Global exposure for several occupational risks, high body-mass index (BMI), and drug use increased by more than 25% over the same period. All risks jointly evaluated in 2015 accounted for 57·8% (95% CI 56·6–58·8) of global deaths and 41·2% (39·8–42·8) of DALYs. In 2015, the ten largest contributors to global DALYs among Level 3 risks were high systolic blood pressure (211·8 million [192·7 million to 231·1 million] global DALYs), smoking (148·6 million [134·2 million to 163·1 million]), high fasting plasma glucose (143·1 million [125·1 million to 163·5 million]), high BMI (120·1 million [83·8 million to 158·4 million]), childhood undernutrition (113·3 million [103·9 million to 123·4 million]), ambient particulate matter (103·1 million [90·8 million to 115·1 million]), high total cholesterol (88·7 million [74·6 million to 105·7 million]), household air pollution (85·6 million [66·7 million to 106·1 million]), alcohol use (85·0 million [77·2 million to 93·0 million]), and diets high in sodium (83·0 million [49·3 million to 127·5 million]). From 1990 to 2015, attributable DALYs declined for micronutrient deficiencies, childhood undernutrition, unsafe sanitation and water, and household air pollution; reductions in risk-deleted DALY rates rather than reductions in exposure drove these declines. Rising exposure contributed to notable increases in attributable DALYs from high BMI, high fasting plasma glucose, occupational carcinogens, and drug use. Environmental risks and childhood undernutrition declined steadily with SDI; low physical activity, high BMI, and high fasting plasma glucose increased with SDI. In 119 countries, metabolic risks, such as high BMI and fasting plasma glucose, contributed the most attributable DALYs in 2015. Regionally, smoking still ranked among the leading five risk factors for attributable DALYs in 109 countries; childhood underweight and unsafe sex remained primary drivers of early death and disability in much of sub-Saharan Africa. Interpretation Declines in some key environmental risks have contributed to declines in critical infectious diseases. Some risks appear to be invariant to SDI. Increasing risks, including high BMI, high fasting plasma glucose, drug use, and some occupational exposures, contribute to rising burden from some conditions, but also provide opportunities for intervention. Some highly preventable risks, such as smoking, remain major causes of attributable DALYs, even as exposure is declining. Public policy makers need to pay attention to the risks that are increasingly major contributors to global burden. Funding Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
