Lipoglycopeptide antibiotics are semi-synthetic derivatives of glycopeptides and are characterized by a pronounced bactericidal activity against gram-positive pathogens. The aim of the study was comparative assessment of the sensitivity of gram-positive clinical isolates to lipoglycopeptide antibiotics (telavancin, dalbavancin, oritavancin). The following isolates were included in the work: methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA, n=780), methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus spp. (MRCoNS, n=163), and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREf, n=93). Serial dilutions were used to assess sensitivity with the addition of 0.002% polysorbate 80 to the medium. Lipoglycopeptides showed more pronounced antibacterial activity against MRSA compared to vancomycin, teicoplanin, and daptomycin, and had a MIC₅₀/MIC₉₀ (µg/ml): for telavancin — 0.06 /0.125, for dalbavancin — 0.016/0.06, and for oritavancin — 0.06/0.125. A trend towards an increase in the MIC of lipoglycopeptides and daptomycin was established in MRSA with the MIC of 2 µg/ml for vancomycin, the proportion of which was 13%. For MRCoNS, MIC₅₀ and MIC₉₀ of lipoglycopeptides did not exceed 0.06 µg/ml and 0.125 µg/ml, respectively. Oritavancin showed strong activity against VREf at MIC range of 0.03 µg/ml to 0.5 µg/ml, and at MIC₉₀ of 0.25 µg/ml. Thus, lipoglycopeptide antibiotics are a plausible alternative to vancomycin and daptomycin; they are characterized by pronounced activity and can be used to treat severe forms of staphylococcal infections.

Published: December 2022

Creation of synergistic combinations of antifungal and antiseptic agents can be considered as one of the promising strategies for reducing the spread of drug resistance in pathogenic fungi.Aim. The aim of this work was to study the synergistic antifungal activity of amphotericin B (AMB) and antiseptic miramistin (MST) in their combined use to fight against drug-resistant Candida isolates. Material and methods. One AMB-resistant C.albicans strain (MIC 3.1 µg/ml), sensitive to MST, two isolates of C.albicans with different level of resistance to MST and AMB (MIC 1.6–6.3 µg/ml), and one MST-resistant C.lusitaniae isolate susceptible to AMB (MIC 0.4 µg/ml) were studied. Isolates’ susceptibility to AMB and MST alone was determined by broth microdilution method and time–kill assay, respectively. Individual anti-candida activity of test combinations of 0.001% MST with AMB in 10 or 50 µg/ml concentrations was studied using quantitative time–kill assay.Results. A significant decrease in the growth of all the isolates treated with both test combinations of MST and AMB in comparison with individual medication treatment was observed at each time interval studied (15–60 minutes). As part of the combination, MST exhibited significant synergy with AMB in sublethal concentration of 10 µg/ml against all the isolates. Treatment of the fungi with a combination of MST with AMB in 50 µg/ml concentration caused complete inactivation of all the isolates after 30 minutes. Under these conditions, AMB exhibited separate antifungal activity.Conclusion. These findings suggest the possible effective use of miramistin in combination with amphotericin B against multi-drug resistant isolates of the genus Candida.

Medicinal probiotic Sporobacterin is based on the Bacillus subtilis 534 strain, which has been shown to have antimicrobial activity against many bacteria, both the collection strains and the antibiotic-resistant forms of clinical isolates of pathogenic bacteria and fungi. Considering this strain as an antibiotic producer, a step-by-step mutagenic treatment was carried out in order to obtain a variant that consistently exhibits a certain high-level antibiotic activity. A mutant variant was obtained during the three stages of mutagenic treatment and selection; it effectively suppresses the growth of pathogenic staphylococci, including methicillin-resistant staphylococcus (MRSA).

Published: December 2022

Despite the fact that the incidence of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) among young people is significantly lower than among older patients, the frequency of hospitalizations for severe CAP among people under 45 years of age remains high. The effectiveness and duration of treatment directly depend on the rationally selected initial empirical antibacterial therapy (ABT).The aim of the study is to analyze the factors influencing the effectiveness of initial empiric antibacterial therapy for CAP in young people in multidisciplinary medical institutions.Materials and methods. The study was designed as a retrospective observational study; it analyzes 105 medical records of young patients with CAP admitted to one of the multidisciplinary hospitals in Moscow from 2017 to 2019.Results. The empiric ceftriaxone + azithromycin ABT regimen (70% of all prescriptions) was ineffective in 13.7% of cases; monotherapy with ceftriaxone (13% of all prescriptions) was ineffective in 57% cases. Severe CAP, acute respiratory failure, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, and exudative pleurisy were diagnosed with significantly higher frequency in the group of patients with ineffective initial empirical ABT. There was no predominance of any comorbid pathology and Charlson Comorbidity Index in groups where the initial ABT was changed and in groups without a change in initial ABT. The microbiological spectrum of CAP pathogens did not significantly differ in young patients between groups with a changed initial empirical ABT and a group without changing initial ABT.Conclusion. The reasons for the ineffectiveness of the initial empirical ABT could be such factors as: underestimation of the risk of the presence of multidrug-resistant pathogens; underestimation of the risk of viral genesis of CAP; underestimation of the severity of CAP, as well as the severity of CAP complications.

ABSTRACT

Performance is the result of work that someone has achieved in carrying out work activities. High- performing employees are referred to as productive employees, whereas employees who do not reach the standards are said to be unproductive or low performing employees. The employee's ability to deliver the best results or performance for the company is strongly influenced by how he understands his job culture and strong ties with the company he works for. Employee engagement explains how much a person feels passionate and excited at working. Research conducted by CV Perjuangan Steel Surabaya find factors - factors that can affect employee performance, namely leadership, work environment, compensation and employee engagement which is the intervening variable in this study. The results obtained from this study is that the leadership variable does not affect the performance of employees in CV Perjuangan Steel, either directly or indirectly influence. Work environment and compensation variables have an influence on employee performance, either direct or indirect influence through employee engagement.

Prevalence of Pathogenic Bacteria on Face Masks from Wet Markets in Makkah during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Melebari Mohammad , Alpakistany Tariq , Taha Taher , Alsalman Abdullah
Published: December 2022

The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic compelled people worldwide to use face masks to limit the spread of the disease. Improper use of masks may increase the transmission of pathogenic bacteria, causing co-infection that may result in an increase in complications of COVID-19 and a rise in the death rate. This study aims to determine the presence of pathogenic bacteria on the surfaces of masks worn by workers while working at several markets (meat, fish, fruit, and vegetable markets) in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pathogenic bacteria on the masks of some workers in different markets in Makkah were identified and confirmed by growth media and an automated system. Pathogenic bacteria were detected in 99% of the studied samples. The most commonly detected bacteria on masks were E. coli, followed by Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Staphylococcus aureus. A few samples included additional bacterial species, such as Klebsiella pneumoniae. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate harmful bacteria on the masks of a random group of non-healthcare workers. Improper mask use by various populations might result in significant cross-contamination with pathobionts.

Archives and science “in action” (by V. V. Charnoluskiy’s materials)
Authors:   Murmansk Museum of Regional Studies, Kotkin Konstantin Ya. ,   Centre of Arctic and Siberian Exploration of the Sociological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences –– Branch of the Federal Research Sociological Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: December 2022

The scientist’s archive is analyzed as a history and sociology of science phenomena on the example of the Vladimir Charnoluskiy’s archive, an ethnographer, best known as a Kola Saami’ researcher. The features of archives as memorial institutions are revealed, personal and official archives are compared. The archive as a metaphor (along with others –– trace, evidence) demonstrates the social dimension of science and the formation of the image of a scientist, as well as its additions and changes. A “model” of a standardized and competitive perception of science with the corresponding “actions” of archival materials is proposed. Archival evidence can supplement or change formed views –– individual facts, the perception of the image of a scientist in terms of research subjects, explanation of the facts and theoretical problems.

Authors:   Geological Institute of the Kola Science Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Petrovskiy Michail N.
Published: December 2022

The article is devoted to the history of mining-factories business in Russian Lapland in the first half of the Annian rule. Based on archival and published official documents, it examines the transformations that took place in 1730–1736 in the mining business of the Russian Empire. It tells about the history of the discovery and the beginning of the mining of silver ores in Pomorie on the Medvezhiy Island. The article focuses on the biography and history of the invitation to Russia of the Saxon Ober-Berg-Hauptmann and chamberlain, Baron Kurt Alexander von Schönberg, who in 1736 became General-Berg-Director, head of the entire mining industry of the Russian Empire. The roles of the chief chamberlain and favorite of Anna Ioannovna, Graph Ernst Johann von Biron and the “soul” of the Cabinet of Ministers, Vice-Chancellor Graph Andrei Ivanovich Osterman in the invitation and activities of Schönberg in Russia are outlined.
Material support of the parish clergy of the Kola North in the last third of 19th century
Authors:   Barents Centre of the Humanities of the Kola Science Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kozhevnikova Yulia N.
Published: December 2022

The article deals with the little-studied question of the financial situation of the rural clergy of the Kola North in the last third of the XIX century, in other words, after the introduction in 1873 of a new staffing list of parish churches in the region. The main source of information for the study was the clear sheets for 1884, which had not been previously involved by researchers. They were preserved in the fund of the Third Deanery District of the Kemsky uezd (county) of the Arkhangelsk province, which then included parishes located on the Karelian and Tersk shores of the White Sea. The main sources of income of local clergy are determined; information on the state salary of the white clergy is analyzed; the degree of security of clerics with different lands is revealed. Based on the revealed data, it is concluded that there is a significant difference in the welfare of individual parishes of the Kola North. Special attention is paid to the housing problem that existed in almost all parishes and significantly complicated the daily life of priests and clergymen.
A short history of the phantom republics of Wologdache and the White Sea in the Western mass media
Authors:   Barents Centre of the Humanities of the Kola Science Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Sushko Eugene O.
Published: December 2022

The paper for the first time allows us to consider the mention in the media of two state entities that never existed in reality, so-called Republic of Vologdache and the White Sea Republic. The author uses articles and notes in the US press for July – August 1918 as the main source. The study also contains the necessary information from some European media. The author comes to the conclusion that despite the relatively good awareness of the events in the North of Russia, most of the journalists could not correctly compare the available data, while many theses were invented. According to the author, this disinformation was unintentional, since the journalistic community conveyed information in such a way that the original message, although false, was in the context of real events.

A compositional intersective account of Heterofunctional Coordination
Authors: Przepiórkowski Adam
Published: December 2022

The analysis presented in this paper extends the uniform intersective (“boolean”) treatment of conjunctive coordinators to Heterofunctional Coordination (HC), i.e., coordination of different grammatical functions. A compositional account of HC based on mainstream derivational syntax is proposed, one that makes Champollion’s (2015) “quantificational event semantics” compatible with derivational syntax. The analysis is based on the assumption, common in Minimalism, that traces of moved quantifiers denote domain restrictions rather than just variables.
Division vs. distributivity: Is per just like each?
Authors: Coppock Elizabeth
Published: December 2022

This paper argues that there are lexical items that conventionally express the idea of dividing one quantity by another, and per is one of them. In particular, the proposal is that there are three ratio-related senses of per: (i) a quotient function; (ii) a quotient operator; and (iii) quotient of measure functions. The ratio-based approach, which is built up here in order to handle a wider range of data than previous ratio-based approaches could, is contrasted with an opposing view, one on which per is a distributivity marker like each. Four types of evidence are used: (i) cases involving measurement of an object or an event whose measure is smaller than the unit given by per’s complement; (ii) uses in the differential argument of a comparative; (iii) uses modifying a measure function noun; and and (iv) uses modifying a gradable predicate. All of these are problematic for a distributivity- marker analysis, and support the idea that per expresses the concept of ratio. Along the way, we gain diagnostics for whether a given item conventionally expresses the concept of a ratio in a given language.
A novel argument for an even-like semantics of Mandarin dou
Authors: Chen Zhuang , Greenberg Yael
Published: December 2022

There have been ongoing debates about the semantics of Mandarin particle dou, which, among its various readings, has a distributive reading and a scalar reading. In the paper, we make a novel observation that dou, on both readings, is sensitive to a standard on a scale associated with a contextually supplied gradable property, and take this to be new evidence in favor of a unified, scalar analysis of dou. To uniformly capture its two readings and its standard-sensitivity, we propose to integrate insights from two proposals, Liu 2017 and Greenberg 2018a. Specifically, on the one hand, we follow Liu 2017 in arguing that (a) dou is uniformly a scalar particle, (b) it operates on distinct types of alternatives on distinct readings and (c) a trivialization operation occurs on the distributive reading; on the other hand, we, deviating from Liu, adopt two components adapted from the gradability-based semantics originally suggested for Englishevenin Greenberg 2018a, i.e. (a) anevaluative presupposition and (b) a contextually determined scale, instead of one based on unlikelihood. Our revised proposal can successfully account for the two readings in a unified manner but circumvents the issue regarding the dimension of the scale faced by Liu 2017 in the meanwhile.
Non-maximality and vagueness: Revisiting the plural Sorites paradox
Authors: Haslinger Nina
Published: December 2022

This paper is an attempt at a synthesis of two superficially conflicting approaches to non-maximality: the issue-based approach (Malamud 2012, Križ 2015, Križ & Spector 2021 a.o.), which generates clear-cut truth conditions once the issue parameter has been fixed, and the strict/tolerant approach (Burnett 2017 a.o.), on which non-maximal construals involve vagueness. I argue that there are two classes of contexts that license non-maximality. One of them gives rise to the Sorites paradox once the non-embeddability of non-maximality is controlled for. The other class does not license vagueness at all. To model this distinction, I introduce a formal framework that combines the issue-based approach with the notion of strict and tolerant truth conditions (Cobreros, Egré, Ripley & van Rooij 2012a), which are defined via super-/subvaluation over different issues. This system provides two sources of non-maximality, only one of which involves vagueness.
The selectional variability of 'imagine whether'
Authors: Liefke Kristina
Published: December 2022

White (2021) has observed that some clause-embedding predicates (esp. doxastic attitude verbs like believe, non-veridical preferential predicates like hope) vary w.r.t. their selection properties: While these predicates commonly combine with declarative complements, they sometimes accept interrogative complements. My paper notes a similar selectional variability for fiction verbs like imagine: while imagine is typically taken to reject polar interrogative complements, some uses of imagine whether are acceptable. Curiously, this acceptability cannot be explained through the techniques (e.g., highlighting, no presupposition, multiple senses) that have recently been used to explain the acceptability of believe and hope whether. To still account for the ability of imagine to take whether-complements, I draw on recent work on attitudinal parasitism (see Blumberg 2019). This work assumes that some cases of imagination depend, for their reference, on the objects of another experience (e.g. visual perception). My semantics holds that imagine whether is felicitous only when the truth of the embedded TP is decided at the possible world of which the experienced scene is a spatio-temporal part. This condition is more easily satisfied when the verb in the TP has future tense (will), or when imagine is embedded under a negated ability modal or under try.
Framing events in the logic of verbal modification
Authors: Wellwood Alexis
Published: December 2022

I ask what a small set of modification data requires of clausal event semantics. Classic Davidsonian semantics posits that modifiers like "in the hallway" express properties of events, and expects that iterations of such modifiers will simply contribute additional conjuncts at logical form. The data I consider challenges this view, and others cast in the Davidsonian spirit, at least so long as we hope to preserve an important and plausible semantic principle, Role Exhaustion (Williams 2015). As I show, preserving the principle and accounting for the facts can be accomplished by adopting two independently-motivated sets of claims: first, that verbs introduce existential closure over their event argument, and modifiers take verb meanings as semantic arguments (Champollion 2015); second, that simple clauses have two layers of event description, "framing" and "framed" (Schein 2016). In the end, I sketch two possible extensions of the approach, towards the interpretation of temporal modification and negative perceptual reports.
The presupposition of even
Authors: Zhang Linmin
Published: December 2022

I present a new observation with regard to the felicity of using even: There is no apparent focus/QUD congruence for even-sentences. For example,  Even Mary came cannot be used to answer a question like who came or who was unlikely to come. Instead, the felicitous use of Even Mary came is to address issues like how successful the exhibition was, how enthusiastic people were, how urgent the matter was, etc. Thus I propose that the use of even is QUD-sensitive, always with regard to a contextually salient degree question. Even brings a degree-based presupposition of additivity, not an entity-based one (see also Greenberg 2018 for a similar view).  An even-sentence presupposes that its prejacent is associated with a degree value, a benchmark value higher than the usual contextual threshold, resolving a degree question with an increasingly positive answer. E.g., under a relevant scenario about how popular a certain talk was, Even Mary came is roughly interpreted as (the talk was so popular) that Mary came. Under the current analysis,  the entity-based additivity and likelihood-based scalarity of even, which are considered presuppositions under the traditional view, are now considered implicatures.
The Chin as a Domain Widener in American Sign Language (ASL)
Authors: Nikolai L. R. , Keshet Ezra
Published: December 2022

In this paper, we investigate a grammaticalized facial expression in American Sign Language (ASL) called flat chin, which we propose functions as a general-purpose domain widener, targeting both quantificational domains as well as the scales used by gradable predicates. Our analysis allows for flat chin to target nearly any expression involving a domain, and is based on Morzycki's (2012) analysis of extreme degree modifiers. Such an analysis both expands our understanding of ASL as well Language more broadly, as few general-purpose domain wideners have yet been reported and fewer still are reported to occur as a non-manual (non-hand) markers in a sign language.

Aspecte privind măsurile de conservare preventivă aplicate artefactelor arheologice
Authors: Ardelean Elena
Published: December 2022

Archaeological heritage is social property which contributes to strengthening cultural identity; therefore, the objects, and the knowledge derived from them must be somehow returned to society. Preventive conservation must be applied in all stages the archaeological materials go through: excavation, moving or shipping, laboratory, storage and exhibition. On-site preventive conservation will help to ensure the long-term preservation of finds and information about their manufacture and use. The sudden change in the environment on excavation can cause rapid deterioration of an artefact if not stored in a suitable environment. The objective of a conservator is to minimize the post-excavation impact suffered by objects when they are removed from the ground and to take a series of preventive measures to delay the physical and environmental effects which lead to their deterioration, which are based on the control of the differences between outside and inside ground parameters. Before the excavation, the environment must be assessed, both above and below ground. The soil must be evaluated as to pH, salinity and physical structure. Working in wet contexts is different from working in dry, cold or warm ones. Organic materials are more vulnerable to deterioration factors. If wet organic materials are allowed to dry in an uncontrolled way, there will often be irreversible shrinking, distortion, cracking or collapse. Freshly excavated wet organic materials are vulnerable to biological attacks, particularly mould, due to increased temperatures, oxygen and light. Large or fragile objects will be vulnerable to breakage if they are excavated and handled without being supported. When objects are made up of more than one raw material, preventive measures must protect the material that is most sensitive to deterioration factors.
Death in utero. A palæoanthropological and palæomedical approach

Published: December 2022

The grave from Fîrlădeni-La Văleanu (Căușeni District, Republic of Moldova), which is part of a still unexplored medieval necropolis, was discovered in 2015 and dated, according to the funeral ritual, in the 17th-18th centuries CE. The skeleton belongs to a female, with a biological age at death of approx. 17-18 years. Biomorphometric characteristics indicate Europoid and Mongoloid phenotypic features. The analysis of the dentition revealed several dental anomalies, and among the indicators of physiological stress, the linear enamel hypoplasia. Cribra cranii, cribra orbitalia, and periosteal changes/reactions on some limb bones diaphyses have been identified. Regarding the occupational indicators, we mention the septal aperture on the humeri and the squatting facets on the tibiae. On the coxae is well marked the preauricular sulcus, which is type 3 to 4. The detail that makes this discovery special is the presence of skeletal remains from another unborn individual, a foetus with an intrauterine age between 5-7 months. No pathologies or abnormalities visible to the naked eye were identified on the skeletal elements of this unborn child. For the Prut-Dniester area, the discovery from Fîrlădeni-La Văleanu is the first case of a pregnant woman discovered in an archaeological context and anthropologically documented.

The authors present the coins discovered during the archaeological excavations carried out in 1993, 2001-2003, 2005-2008 and 2016. During the archaeological excavations at the Căpriana Monastery, 132 coins were discovered in the necropolis of the founders inside the Church of the Dormition of the Mother of God, within the filling soil under the floor of the church, in the necropolis around the church, in the wall of a building located to the west of the church, as well as in the cultural layer around the church. A total of 36 coins discovered inside the church come from 10 graves and its cultural layer, while the coins discovered in the necropolis around the church come from 7 graves. From the total number of 88 investigated graves, coins were discovered in 17 burial complexes (19%). Most of the graves contain a single coin, in grave 39 2 coins were found, in grave 56 24 pieces were deposited, representing a small treasure, and in another case (grave 18) a monetary deposit consisting of 83 coins was found. The coins deposited in graves represent several monetary areas. The European ones are issues of the Kingdom of Poland and the Holy German Empire issued starting from the third decade of the 16th century and up to 1627. Most of the coins from Căpriana come from the Ottoman Empire, representing coins issued in the 18th century, but also two copies with a large denomination - ikilik, issued by Selim III, being the most recent coins from the tombs.

Despre o pereche de cercei din colecția muzeului Municipiului București
Authors: Oța Silviu
Published: December 2022

In the collections of the Museum of Bucharest was found a pair of earrings from the George Severeanu collection, which has remained unpublished until now. Most likely due to the rarity of such ornaments discovered in Romania, but also to the fact that its place of discovery is unknown. According to its characteristics of making, but also of the decorative elements, the source of inspiration of the jeweller indicates the pieces from the East-Adriatic space, from the end of the 13th century and the 14th century. Their physicochemical analysis is quite different from that of specimens from the western Balkan Peninsula, made mostly of silver or gold. The specimens from the collection of the Bucharest museum suggest a possible making of them at the end of the 14th century or the beginning of the 15th century.
Biserici medievale și premoderne din Moldova. Revizia repertoriului și metodelor de abordare
Authors: Rusu Adrian Andrei
Published: December 2022

Observations relative to the gradual growth of the ecclesiastical landscape of medieval Moldavia are included. Bold generalizations are noted but without any real basis. The archaeological contribution is considered minor and little relevant for the presence of many old, wooden, disappeared churches. The return to the use of the general mechanisms for the birth of churches is called for, along with social maturation and the achievement of some mandatory economic performances related to constructions, the majority of craftsmen from Gothic architecture or the maintenance of worship and clerical workers. In short, the tendencies to delimit opposite traditional cults are taken into analysis, based on strictly formal criteria. Several important objectives, superficially restored archaeologically, are reconstructed planimetrically: princely founders (Suceava, Vaslui), Catholic churches (Suceava, Săbăoani) and wooden churches (Suceava, Igești-Bătinești).
Средневековые фортификации Северо-Западного Причерноморья в атласе Рицци-Дзаннони
Authors: Герцен Андрей
Published: December 2022

Unique maps of the atlas of Poland compiled by G.A.B. Rizzi-Zannoni in the middle of the 18th century and published in early 1772 are important scientific sources. The atlas contains detailed information on the historical geography of the Northern and North-Western Black Sea region. Of particular importance is the unique map of Moldavia and the territories adjacent to it (the 23rd, as well as the 22nd and 24th sheets of the atlas), compiled based on earlier sources – the rich cartographic materials of the predecessors (G.L. Beauplan, D.K. Cantemir and others), and first of all, the works of the cartographers of the Ottoman Empire, which flourished in the 15th – 17th centuries, have not yet been identified or studied. The work of Rizzi-Zannoni is a reproduction of the oldest (found at the moment) topographic map of the North-Western Black Sea region, reflecting the geographical picture no later than the first half of the 16th – second half of the 17th centuries. Current and further study of the fortifications (castles, fortresses and other fortifications) marked on the maps of Rizzi-Zannoni and representing the most important complexes and objects of historical and cultural heritage are impossible without the involvement of the author’s unique information. Descriptions and reconstructions of fortifications that ignore topography and other details reported by this unique source are a priori incomplete or may even be erroneous. The historic-geographical information recorded on the Rizzi-Zannoni maps is of enormous multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary significance. Its consideration is important for modern and future studies of geography, history, archaeology, architecture, culture, art, ethnography, linguistics, the toponymy of the region as a whole and each heritage site.

Procedural capacity of use electronic (digital) information as evidence in criminal proceedings
Authors: GUTSALYUK M. , ANTONIUK P.
Published: December 2022

Law enforcement agencies and courts are increasingly investigating factual data (evidence) recorded in electronic (digital) form, which are stored on technical media. At the same time, the national criminal procedure legislation does not contain a clear definition of the term “electronic evidence”, which leads to ambiguous practices of their evaluation and use in the process of proving in the investigation of criminal offenses. The analysis of judicial practice also shows different approaches to assessing the relevance and admissibility of electronic evidence (factual data recorded in electronic (digital) form) in different types of proceedings. The article substantiates the need to define the category of “electronic evidence” in the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine and proposes the development of a new paradigm of electronic evidence theory.
