Comparative Analysis of the Criminal and Legal Protection of Morality in the Legislations of Ukraine and Moldova
Authors: Shevchuk A.V. , Bodnaruk O. M.
Published: December 2021

The article under studies relies on the understanding that the future of any state, society and mankind on the whole largely depends on the moral virtues of each individual. However, today's moral, spiritual and cultural basics are seriously challenged, annihilated and neglected.

Resting on a comparative-legal analysis of the current criminal legislation of Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova, the article deals with the peculiarities of the criminal and legal protection of morality, identifies in the above legislations certain common and distinctive features in the context of existence and construction of legal norms, investigates their structural elements and, eventually, determines types of punishment.

It has been substantiated that Ukrainian criminal legislation is rather progressive in terms of the criminal and legal protection of morality. It might be explained by the fact that respective criminal and legal prohibitions not only have been reflected in a special section of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, but are also described there in detail. In addition, these prohibitions are marked with partial, but at the same time significant and expedient changes and supplements that completely comply with the present-day challenges (for instance, in terms of liability for cruel treatment of animals, vandalizing a grave or other burial place or the body of the deceased, etc.). Particular emphasis has been laid on the fact that due to the recent changes in the Criminal Code, which came into force in March, 2021, especially striking are the elements of such crimes as access to child pornography, its acquisition, storage, import, transportation or other movement, production, sale and dissemination (Art. 301-1), and carrying out of entertaining action of sexual character with participation of the minor (Art. 301-2).

On the other hand, the criminal legislation of Moldova does not contain a separate structural part, which would systematize all socially hazardous actions regarding morality. Instead, certain articles on the protection of social morality are enshrined in different chapters of a Special Part of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Moldova. It is also important that the article under discussion draws a conclusion that the protection of social morality in the criminal legislation of Moldova comprises both traditional for most states norms (for example, liability for pimping, illegal acts on pornographic objects, vandalizing a grave, etc.) and not quite common ones (liability for incest, obtaining child prostitution services; cruel treatment of animals by a person responsible for the care, protection and welfare of animals, for training or veterinary care; vandalism; debauched actions in the form of exhibitionism, compelling to participate in making pornographic performances, etc.).
Appropriate subject of obtaining evidence of a criminal offense in the opinion of the court
Authors: Anheleniuk A.-M.Y.
Published: December 2021

The article considers the collection of evidence by the prosecution, because it is in this order that the evidence base of criminal proceedings is most often formed. Thus, the prosecutor, investigator (investigator) acting under Articles 36, 40, 401 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, as well as an employee of the operational unit pursuant to Article 41 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine on behalf of the investigator or prosecutor have the right to collect evidence. The purpose of the article is to study the affiliation of the subjects of evidence collection as part of the procedural form of the criminal process of Ukraine, taking into account the analysis of court decisions, namely the assessment of the evidence base as a basis for deciding on the merits of criminal proceedings. Cases of involvement of an improper subject in the pre-trial investigation, which are common and typical, are systematized. There are two types of improper subjects within the investigative (search) or procedural actions, namely the subject: 1) is not appointed in the manner prescribed by law, although according to current legislation according to the list of its powers may be appropriate; 2) does not have the authority under the law to make a specific decision or to conduct investigative (search) or procedural actions. An analysis of court decisions according to which courts provide an assessment of the procedural activities of the subjects of evidence collection in criminal proceedings at the stage of pre-trial investigation, including their relevance and admissibility. Thus, attention is paid to the assessment of courts on the legality of the presence of persons during investigative (investigative) or procedural actions; the correctness of fixing such a presence. In addition, the situations of appointment of relevant subjects in criminal proceedings to fulfill their powers are considered. It is proposed to supplement the first part of Article 236 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine with a provision that clarifies the grounds for the stay and authority of the employee of the operational and investigative service during the search.
Legal space of the state: constitutional and legal aspect
Authors: Byelov D.M. , Hromovchuk M.V.
Published: December 2021

The article considers the features of the category "legal space". The author cites the views of scholars engaged in the study of this legal concept. By linking the category of "legal space" to constitutional law, a conclusion is made about space as a constitutional-legal category.

It is indicated that the development and assertion of Ukraine's own path and place in the geopolitical environment, its inclusion in European and world integration processes are inextricably linked with the organization of rule-making and law enforcement activities of public authorities and local governments, which would meet modern trends and international standards. in this area. New trends in the constitutional and legal construction of the country, the formation of civil society institutions, optimization and reform of public administration determine the new conditions for the implementation of state power, a prerequisite for effective operation of which is the unity of the legal space.

It is established that legal space as a constitutional-legal category is a specific functional category of the science of constitutional law, which reflects certain spatial boundaries of the origin and development of any constitutional-legal action, the constitutional process, constitutional norm, state or event. Thus, space is a spatial boundary established by the Constitution, which can overcome itself and be replaced by more progressive in the implementation of constitutional and legal reform. They also simultaneously form a certain boundary, beyond which begin to develop constitutional relations.
Deliberative democracy: modernization or crisis of democracy?
Authors: Voloshenyuk O.V.
Published: December 2021

This article is devoted to the advantages and disadvantages of the model of advisory (deliberative) democracy. Its basic provisions are revealed, the contribution to its development of J. Besset, J. Habermas, J. Cohen, R. Dahl, J. Fishkin is characterized. It has been established that the model of advisory democracy offers tools for active participation of the population in the discussion of important political issues in the period between elections. When discussing problematic issues, the right to vote is given to all those who are influenced by the decisions of public authorities (the principle of equity participation). At the same time, the dialogue should be free, equal, reasoned and aimed at reaching consensus.

The main problems of deliberative democracy are highlighted, including the difficulty of reaching a general consensus in a socially heterogeneous society, leveling important social differences in the process of compromise, unpreparedness of citizens for a rational dialogue, the presence of cultural barriers in implementing advisory procedures in non-Western countries. Forms and methods of informal participation of citizens in the discussion of political issues in the United States, as well as in Germany, Spain, Belgium, Iceland, Poland and other European countries are considered. Emphasis is placed on the fact that the use of advisory procedures in the world is characterized by a variety of deliberative tools and the breadth of its application: from solving problems of education and ecology, medicine and the local budget to the adoption of a new constitution.

It is established that the concept of deliberative democracy takes into account both negative realities (alienation of political power from society, low level of public confidence in the political elite) and positive achievements of today (the idea of "good governance", information technology, ideological and legal pluralism). In view of this, it is concluded that the model of advisory democracy is a promising attempt to modernize democracy in the modern world, rethink the democratic principles of government, adapt the classical theory of democracy to modern needs and challenges.
Review of key challenges in public-private partnership implementation
Authors: Batjargal Temulin , Zhang Mengzhong
Published: December 2021

Although public-private partnership (PPP) is regarded as one of the key effective tools in the development of many countries, various challenges surrounding PPPs are not well understood. This paper explores nine key challenges in PPP implementation: (1) different organizational cultures and goals between the partners, (2) poor institutional environment and support, (3) weak political and legal frameworks, (4) unreliable mechanisms for sharing risk and responsibility, (5) inadequate procedures for the selection of PPP partners, (6) inconsistency between resource inputs and quality, (7) inadequate monitoring and evaluation of PPP processes, (8) lack of transparency, and (9) the inherent nature of PPPs. This paper aims to provide the perceptions in the existing literature on many of these challenges, as well as provide solutions to each challenge.
HOSPITALITY, RESPONSIBILITY, AND COMMUNITY: A POLITICAL PHENOMENOLOGICAL READING OF ANTIGONE
Authors: Knudsen Nicolai
Published: December 2021

In Derrida’s reflection on hospitality, the figures of Oedipus and Antigone play a decisive role. Derrida describes Oedipus as being anomos, an outlaw, since he transgresses the established nomos. According to Derrida, both Oedipus and Antigone are involved an unsolvable tension between conditional and unconditional hospitality. A closer look at Sophocles’ Antigone, however, fits poorly with this understanding of the relation between hospitality and the nomos. Arguing against Derrida, I propose a phenomenological reading of Antigone’s actions as an attempt to disclose her suffering with the community. In this way, she demands hospitality not for herself nor for her infinitely removed father but for the world disclosure that she embodies. Within this phenomenological framework, hospitality is not caught in an aporia between the general and the singular, the conditional and the unconditional; rather, it constitutes a site of dispute between conflicting configurations of the shared world.

Чувство долга (义 /义 务 ) в китайской языковой картине мира: традиция и современность
Authors: Наумова К. М.
Published: December 2021

В статье исследуются лингвокультурные сдвиги в представлениях о чувстве долга (义 /义务) в китайской языковой картине мира, происходящие в результате экстралингвистических изменений, привнесенных глобализационными процессами на рубеже XX–XXI вв.

Adjunctive Use of Point of Care Ultrasound to Diagnose Compartment Syndrome of the Thigh
Authors: Long Neil , Ahn Justin S. , Kim Daniel J.
Published: December 2021

Compartment syndrome is a medical emergency and must be considered in patients who present with severe limb pain. Compartment syndrome is a clinical diagnosis, classically described as presenting with the 5 ‘P’s (pain, pulselessness, pallor, paraesthesia, and paralysis). Apart from pain, the other findings signify acute arterial obstruction and would be late findings. We present a case of a 31-year-old male in which point of care ultrasound (POCUS) expedited this diagnosis by demonstrating a large thigh hematoma in the anterior compartment. This prompted emergent orthopedic surgery consultation, and the diagnosis of compartment syndrome was confirmed both at the bedside and in the operating room. Compartment syndrome can be a challenging diagnosis, especially early in the course of illness. While POCUS should not be used in isolation in the assessment of possible compartment syndrome, it can be used as an adjunct in the workup, especially if it identifies an underlying cause.
Examining the Subjugation of Indigenous Women through Community Partnerships with Extractive Industries
Authors: Marsella Jessica
Published: December 2021

Integration into the capitalist market creates an opportunity for Indigenous communities to relinquish interdependent relationships with the Canadian state by commodifying natural resources to subsidize funding. Corporate partnerships offer Indigenous communities an opportunity for economic development to help alleviate conditions of poverty; however, the potential benefits are not reaching all members of the communities equally. Rather, extractive developments on Indigenous territories are creating new and complex challenges for Indigenous women. This paper examines the current and historical legacies of colonization within Canada that have excluded and oppressed Indigenous women, and have made Indigenous communities dependent on colonial processes to improve socioeconomic disparities. The legacies of colonization, the patriarchal foundations of capitalism, and the transient nature of extractive developments disproportionately harm Indigenous women, making corporate partnerships an unsustainable option to maintain Indigenous independence from the Canadian State.
Canada - A Long Way To Go: The Designated Country of Origin Policy and Refugee Protection
Authors: Ghanem Rejean
Published: December 2021

The Designated Country of Origin (DCO) policy was a political response to unwanted migration in Canada. Adapted from Europe, Harper took a liking to the EU’s SCO policy after Canada received a large influx of Middle Eastern and Balkan refugees seeking asylum. He adapted it in Canada, renaming it Designated Country of Origin (DCO). Under the DCO, the government of Canada would decide if a refugee's country of origin was dangerous enough to be considered for asylum. If the asylum seekers country is determined as safe, that person would be disregarded and sent back to their country of origin. Many refugees who had already settled in Canada had their files reopened and were told to return to their country of origin. The DCO policy became an integral part of the refugee status determination process in Canada to which some regarded as faulty, inefficient, and unjust. In 2019, the SCO was deemed unconstitutional and violated The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Ahmed Hussen, Minister of Immigration, wanted to create an asylum system that was considered fair and efficient. While it is important for an asylum seeker to prove they are truthful about the facts of their case, the DCO policy represents a climate of hostility towards migrants in Canada. In this piece, it will be argued that the DCO policy is a discriminatory migration tool used to “weed out” what the government deems as fake migrants. This policy could deny international protection to those who are genuinely in need. The DCO proves that the nation has a misleading reputation of being welcoming to all who come. The DCO threatened the human rights of asylum seekers who sought refuge in Canada.

Announcements Effect of Corporate Bond Issuance on Stock Returns: Evidence from Chile
Authors: Cornejo-Saavedra Edinson Edgardo , Muñoz Mendoza Jorge Andrés , Delgado Fuentealba Carlos Leandro , Sepúlveda Yelpo Sandra María , Veloso Ramos Carmen Lissette
Published: December 2021

This study measures the announcement effect of corporate bond issuance on stock returns for companies listed on the Santiago de Chile Stock Exchange (BCS). The sample is made up of 29 firms and 87 corporate bond issuance announcements during the 2010-2017 period. The announcement effect of corporate bond issuance on stock return is measured by an event study. This methodology allows to calculate abnormal returns for the days of the event period. The results show that the average abnormal return on the day of the announcement is negative (between -0.09% and -0.03%), but it is not statistically significant. However, the average abnormal return on the day after the announcement is positive (between 0.27% and 0.32%) and has statistical significance. The significant and positive average abnormal return on the day after the announcement suggests a late market reaction. The study shows that there is a significant signaling effect of bond issuance announcements on stock returns.

Published: December 2021

В 2018 г. в ходе раскопок античного поселения Манитра, расположенного в Восточном Крыму, были найдены три клада пантикапейских бронзовых монет IV-III вв. до н. э. Два из них (24 и 62 монеты) относятся к начальной фазе денежного кризиса на Боспоре и были сокрыты в первой четверти III в. до н. э. Третий клад (10 монет) принадлежит более раннему времени, последней трети IV в. до н. э. Публикуемые комплексы являются ценным свидетельством экономического состояния Боспора и денежного обращения на хоре в конце IV - первой четверти III в. до н. э. Дата двух первых кладов ок. 290-275 гг. до н. э. является terminus post quem для жизнедеятельности поселения Манитра.

In 2018, three hoards of the 4 and 3 centuries BC Panticapaeum bronze coins were found during excavations in the Settlement of Manitra located in the Eastern Crimea, in Kerch environments. Two of them (consisting of 24 and 62 coins) belong to the initial phase of the monetary crisis on the Bosporus and were concealed in the first quarter of the 3 century BC. The third hoard is dated to the last third of the 4 century BC, consisting of ten coins. The assemblages are the valuable evidence for the Bosporan economic situation and currency in the chora in the late 4 to the first quarter of the 3 century BC. The latest coins in the hoards date to c. 290-275 BC, providing a terminus post quem for the end of the Manitra settlement life.
«ONE CRAFTSMAN’S» VESSELS FROM THE CERAMIC ASSEMBLAGE OF THE BALANOVO CEMETERY
Authors: Волкова Е. В.
Published: December 2021

Статья посвящена дальнейшей разработке методических приемов выделения посуды, изготовленной условно «одним мастером». Используя методику выделения посуды «одного мастера» по формам-моделям, апробированную на посуде из Волосово-Даниловского могильника фатьяновской культуры, автор выявил по керамическому комплексу Балановского могильника эпохи бронзы 15 гончаров, делавших горшки, трех мастеров, изготовлявших амфоровидные сосуды, и одного, производившего миски. Предполагается, что в рамках одного поколения работали 4-5 мастеров. По изученным материалам реконструируется глубоко зашедший в результате устойчивых брачных контактов процесс смешения двух разных по происхождению родовых коллективов - балановского и атликасинского. Дуализм социальной структуры изучаемого общества проявлялся в том, что покойному приносили посуду родственники, различные по своей культурной принадлежности. Но оба коллектива продолжали частично сохранять культурную обособленность. Тот факт, что один и тот же мастер мог делать сосуды, соответствующие разным культурным традициям (и балановским, и атликасинским), а также число гончаров указывает на то, что в данном случае мы имеем дело с ремесленным на заказ гончарным производством.

The paper deals with further development of methodological techniques of identifying «one craftsman’s» vessels. With the use of the methodology of identifying «one craftsman’s» vessels based on model forms which was piloted with the use of vessels from the Volosovo-Danilovo cemetery ascribed to the Fatyanovo culture, analyzing the Balanovo ceramic assemblage, the author singled out 15 potters who made pots, three craftsmen who produced amphora-like vessels and one potter who made bowls. The paper suggests that from 4 to 5 craftsmen worked in one generation. The examined materials help reconstruct the mixing process of two population groups of different origin, i.e. the Balanovo population and the Atlikasy population, which was quite deep due to sustainable marriage contacts. The dualism of the studied society’s social structure manifested itself in vessels brought for the deceased by relatives belonging to different cultures. However, both population groups continued to maintain their cultural specifics. The very fact that the same craftsman would make vessels according to different cultural traditions (both the Balanovo and the Atlikasy traditions) as well as the number of potters demonstrate that we deal with custom-tailored pottery production.

NEW PALEOLITHIC FINDS IN THE LOWER DON REGION
Authors: Колесник А. В. , Ревина Е. И. , Очередной А. К. , Данильченко А. Ю. , Зоров Ю. Н.
Published: December 2021

Изучение среднего и нижнего палеолита юга Восточно-Европейской равнины до сих пор во многом связано с редкими памятниками, расположенными в Северо-Восточном Приазовье (Герасимовка, Рожок I, Носово) и в нижнем течении р. Северский Донец (Хрящи, Михайловское), поэтому любые сведения о новых комплексах этих эпох представляют большой интерес. В статье впервые представлены материалы нового местонахождения каменного века Батай III, открытого более сорока лет назад, расположенного в дельте Дона в устье р. Койсуг. На строительной площадке в перемещенном грунте аллювиального генезиса (рис. 1: 2,3) была собрана коллекция кремневых изделий, состоящая в основном из артефактов среднепалеолитического облика. Основой для них послужил местный галечный кремень. Цвет сырья буро-коричневый (рис. 2: 1b). Патина варьирует от желто-коричневой до красновато-бурой. Коллекция включает нуклевидные изделия, пренуклеусы, небольшой плоско-выпуклый бифас миндалевидной формы (рис. 3: 1a, b), остроконечник (рис. 3: 4a), различные сколы. Наиболее близкие аналогии происходят из местонахождения палеолита у х. Михайловское - недалеко от впадения р. Северский Донец в Дон.

So far the studies of the Middle and Lower Paleolithic in the South of the East European Plain have been linked to rare sites located in the northeastern of Azov Sea region (Gerasimovka, Rozhok I, and Nosovo) and the downstream of the Severskiy Donets river (Khryashchi, and Mikhaylovskoe); that is why, any information on new assemblages dating to these historical periods are of great interest. Materials from Batay III, which is a new Stone Age location discovered more than forty years ago, are described for the first time. This site is located in the Don estuary in the mouth of the Koysug river. An assemblage of flint items made up mostly of the Middle Paleolithic artifacts was collected in alluvial soil removed from the construction site (Fig. 1: 2, 3). Local pebbles were used as the main source material. The raw material is reddish-brown (Fig. 2: 1b). The patina varies from yellow-brown to reddish-black. The assemblage includes core-like items, pre-cores, a small almond-shaped plano-convex biface (Fig. 3: 1а, b), a point (Fig. 3: 4а), and various flakes. The closest analogies come from a Paleolithic location near the village of Mikhaylovskoe not far from the place where the Severskiy Donets joins the Don.

Обычное ГИС-приложение должно включать такие элементы, как искусственный интеллект, распознавание образов или машинное обучение, реляционные или нереляционные базы данных, пространственное представление и рассуждения. Такие компании, как Google и Apple, разрабатывают новые технологии, связанные с разработкой мобильных приложений. Например, Apple представила в 2019 году на WWDC2019 и WWDC2020 новую технологию под названием SwiftUI, которая направлена на сложности разработки мобильного приложения и позволяющая интегрировать такие технологии, как Mapkit, для представления пространственной информации. В данной работе представлены исследования преимуществ использования SwiftUI для интеграции Mapkit в качестве основы пространственного представления для облегчения разработки мобильных ГИС-приложений. Информационные технологии имеют большое разнообразие применений в различных областях науки. Например, искусственный интеллект и машинное обучение - это технологии, которые начинают широко использоваться в мобильных приложениях. Целью данной работы является исследования способов разработки мобильных приложений, которые могут выполнять представление и вычисления информации в соответствии с требованиями.

Mobile GIS applications are becoming more and more complex, as the tasks they solve are. A typical
GIS application should include elements such as artificial intelligence, pattern recognition or machine learning,
relational or non-relational databases, spatial representation and reasoning. Companies such as Google and
Apple are developing new technologies related to the development of mobile applications. For example, Apple
introduced a new technology called SwiftUI at WWDC2019 and WWDC2020 in 2019, which aims to reduce the
complexity of mobile application development and allows integrating technologies such as Mapkit to represent
spatial information. This paper presents studies of the advantages of using SwiftUI to integrate Mapkit as a basis
for spatial representation to facilitate the development of mobile GIS applications. Information technologies have
a wide variety of applications in various fields of science. For example, artificial intelligence and machine learning
are technologies that are beginning to be widely used in mobile applications. The purpose of this work is to
investigate ways to develop mobile applications that can perform the presentation and calculation of information
in accordance with the requirements.
The place and role of insurance in shaping a “greenˮ economy
Authors: Stepanova M. N.
Published: December 2021

The paper implements an institutional and functional approach to determining the place and role of insurance in shaping a “green” economy. The ways of integrating it as a constituent element of the financial system have been considered. The views of scientists involved in various aspects of modelling the “green” economy on the functional utility of insurance have been summarised. The use of the term “green insurance” and the meanings it implies have been analysed. The author has concluded that the relevant concept of “green insurance” is not yet so unambiguous that it can be used as a scientific concept. Another important conclusion that has been brought up for discussion is that the potential of insurance as a risk management tool within the green economy strategy is not to be confined to environmental insurance, but should be considered in expanding its scope of application to include both the fuller coverage of risk carriers and the range of potential hazards.
Modernisation of the Russian state’s political elite in the context of peter the great’s transformations
Authors: Filimonov D. A.
Published: December 2021

Early eighteenth century was the age of Peter the Great’s transformations, which affected many spheres of life of Russian society, and, in particular, caused the restructuring of the highest political elite. The reforms were, on the one hand, conditioned by the processes of the late seventeenth century, on the other hand, by the specificity of Peter’s absolutism and the long period of warfare. The article analyses the features of Peter’s reforms of the higher political elite. The background to the reforms has been examined, and Peter the Great’s personnel policy, approaches and principles have been analysed. Particular attention has been paid to institutional change, looking at the mechanisms used by Peter the Great in replacing obsolete institutions with new ones. An analysis of the qualitative composition of the elite made it possible to establish a continuity between the political elite of Peter the Great and the aristocracy of the earlier period, with a change in the principles of interaction. The post-reform Russian state is no longer built on the principles of the “servant state”, but on absolutism with a rationalist approach and the principle of “suitability”.

The article formulates the prerequisites that prompted state authorities to implement the project of the federal state information system “Unified Population Register” in order to promptly obtain the most complete and reliable information on the citizens of the Russian Federation. The results of an overview of changes for citizens and government agencies from the introduction of a population information system have been presented. The relevance of the project has been analysed and the pros and cons have been considered. The creation of a single population register will simplify interdepartmental cooperation, facilitate the provision of e-services and social assistance to the population, help to combat crime more effectively, and further develop the information society.

In today’s competitive economy, technological leadership and technical efficiency are key to the successful development of enterprises, countries and territories. This paper investigates the influence of factors on the technical efficiency of a business. Situations where technical efficiency is calculated by the DEA method, and its determinants are defined in regression models, including tobit regression models, have been considered. The determinants of technical efficiency identified by foreign researchers have been systematised. Modeling of the influence of the “Age” factor on the technical efficiency of enterprises in six leading sectors of Russia’s economy over the period 2015–2019 has been performed. It has been found that the “Age” factor has different effects on technical efficiency in different industry sectors. Particularly, in the food industry younger companies are more technically efficient, while mature companies are more technically efficient in the information technology sector. Accordingly, the directions and priorities for incentives should differ across sectors of the economy. In particular, the technological development of the food industry requires support for the generation processes of young enterprises and start-ups. In the information technology sector, the priority should be to support mature enterprises and the growth processes of young enterprises to maturity.

Published: December 2021

Herein, we report a novel whole-cell screening assay using Lactobacillus casei as model microorganism to identify inhibitors of energy-coupling factor (ECF) transporters. This promising and underexplored target may have important pharmacological potential through modulation of vitamin homeostasis in bacteria and, importantly, it is absent in humans. The assay represents an alternative, cost-effective and fast solution to demonstrate the direct involvement of these membrane transporters in a native biological environment rather than using a low-throughput in vitro assay employing reconstituted proteins in a membrane bilayer system. Based on this new whole-cell screening approach, we demonstrated the optimization of a weak hit compound (2) into a small molecule (3) with improved in vitro and whole-cell activities. This study opens the possibility to quickly identify novel inhibitors of ECF transporters and optimize them based on structure–activity relationships.
Neural Connectivity and Episodic Memory in Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Literature Review
Authors: Ali Xalima
Published: December 2021

Introduction: There is a growing interest in the social and biological context of episodic memory in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Research has previously found that episodic memory deficits are overrepresented in this population. In an attempt to learn why children with ASD are disproportionately impacted by episodic memory impairments, this paper explores literature from 1970-2020 concerning the relationship between functional connectivity (FC), effective connectivity (EC) and structural connectivity (SC) and episodic memory in children with ASD.
Methods: The method of this review involved an extensive literature search in scientific databases for experimental studies and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data pertaining to episodic memory in children with ASD. The literature review was conducted by searching for literature in electronic databases (Google Scholar, PubMed and MEDLINE) using the following search words: “ASD and memory,” “episodic memory in ASD,” “connectivity in ASD”.
Results: In the studies reviewed, children with ASD consistently underperformed on episodic memory tasks relative to typically developing children. Additionally, the MRI scans of the children with ASD showed hyper- and hypoconnectivity of brain regions across the three connectivity metrics. The results indicated that the abnormalities seen in the FC, SC, and EC of children with ASD is an area of research and intervention opportunity for clinicians.
Discussion: Research has found that interventions introduced early to children with autism have the potential to reduce symptoms of ASD before adulthood. Therefore, it is important that early interventions related to improving episodic memory are introduced to children early on to increase quality of life later. Additionally, future research must explore if connectivity abnormalities contribute to ASD or if it precedes ASD diagnosis. As a result, clinicians may also consider adding episodic memory deficits to the diagnostic criteria for ASD since it is overrepresented in this population.
Conclusion: Clarifying the relationship between ASD, connectivity, and episodic memory will improve the quality of life of children with ASD in the future. This understanding will have broader implications in children and adults with ASD who struggle with episodic memory in terms of improving their experience in education, work and personal life.

Nowadays, machine learning (ML) algorithms have been widely chosen for classifying satellite images for mapping Earth's surface. Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Random Forest (RF) stand out among these algorithms with their accurate results in the literature. The aim of this study is to analyze the performances of these algorithms on land use and land cover (LULC) classification, especially wetlands which have significant ecological functions. For this purpose, Sentinel-2 satellite image, which is freely provided by European Space Agency (ESA), was used to monitor not only the open surface water body but also around Marmara Lake. The performance evaluation was made with the increasing number of the training dataset. 3 different training datasets having 10, 15, and 20 areas of interest (AOI) per class, respectively were used for the classification of the satellite images acquired in 2015 and 2020. The most accurate results were obtained from the classification with RF algorithm and 20 AOIs. According to obtained results, the change detection analysis of Marmara Lake was investigated for possible reasons. Whereas the water body and wetland have decreased more than 50% between 2015 and 2020, crop sites have increased approximately 50%.
