The Religious Freedom in Crimea During the Russian Occupation

The article deals with the problem of religious freedom in Crimea after the occupation of the Peninsula by Russian military forces in February 2014 and the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation. The subject matter of the study is religious freedom in Crimea during the Russian occupation since 2014. The systematic and the structural approach allow the authors to see the entire picture of religious freedoms violation on the Peninsula. The study hypothesizes that with the occupation and annexation of Crimea, Russia brought the collapse of the religious pluralism and freedom that Ukrainians had experienced since 1991. In this paper, the authors cover a wide range of issues such as torture of religious activists, destruction and the illegal seizure of religious property, persecution of Ukrainians on political and religious grounds, deportation of Crimea’s population to the mainland of Ukraine. The research establishes that the occupiers created unbearable conditions for religious freedom, the lives of many clergymen and believers appeared to be in great danger. Different religious communities, especially the representatives of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (the OCU), Crimean Muslim Tatars, suffered significantly from applying Russia’s severe criminal and administrative requirements. The analysis allows seeing the complete picture of religious discrimination of different denominations and cruel religious persecution in the annexed Crimea beginning from February 2014 till nowadays.

Global Picture of Genetic Relatedness and the Evolution of Humankind

We performed an exhaustive pairwise comparison of whole-genome sequences of 3120 individuals, representing 232 populations from all continents and seven prehistoric people including archaic and modern humans. In order to reveal an intricate picture of worldwide human genetic relatedness, 65 million very rare single nucleotide polymorphic (SNP) alleles have been bioinformatically processed. The number and size of shared identical-by-descent (IBD) genomic fragments for every pair of 3127 individuals have been revealed. Over 17 million shared IBD fragments have been described. Our approach allowed detection of very short IBD fragments (<20 kb) that trace common ancestors who lived up to 200,000 years ago. We detected nine distinct geographical regions within which individuals had strong genetic relatedness, but with negligible relatedness between the populations of these regions. The regions, comprising nine unique genetic components for mankind, are the following: East and West Africa, Northern Europe, Arctica, East Asia, Oceania, South Asia, Middle East, and South America. The level of admixture in every studied population has been apportioned among these nine genetic components. Genetically, long-term neighboring populations are strikingly similar to each other in spite of any political, religious, and cultural differences. The topmost admixture has been observed at the center of Eurasia. These admixed populations (including Uyghurs, Azerbaijanis, Uzbeks, and Iranians) have roughly equal genetic contributions from the Middle East, Europe, China, and India, with additional significant traces from Africa and Arctic. The entire picture of relatedness of all the studied populations unfolds and presents itself in the form of shared number/size of IBDs.

The Impact of Variable Selection Coverage on Detection of Ligands from a DNA-Encoded Library Screen

DNA-encoded library (DEL) technology has become a prominent screening platform in drug discovery owing to the capacity to screen billions or trillions of compounds in a single experiment. Although numerous successes with DEL technology have been reported, we are unaware of a rigorous examination of the many different variables that can influence a screen’s success. Herein, we explore the impact of variable sample sequencing depth on the detection of tool compounds with known affinities toward a given target while simultaneously probing the effect of initial compound input. Our sequencing data confirm reports that high-affinity compounds can be discovered directly from a DEL screen, but we demonstrate that a mismatch between selection output and sequencing quantity can obscure useful ligands. Our results highlight the importance of selection coverage in grasping the entire picture of a DEL screen where the signal of a weak or underrepresented ligand may be suppressed by the inherent noise of a selection. These potential missed ligands may be critical to the success or failure of a drug discovery program.

Introduction

In this introductory chapter of The Cuba-U.S. Bilateral Relationship: New Pathways and Policy Choices, the editors create a framework for readers to digest the material in this book in a meaningful way. The chapter introduces the multilevel game of diplomacy that binds the U.S. and Cuba can be characterized by a variety of signals that each player has issued to its counterpart. The nature of those signals have varied over time, depending on the nature of political leadership, the issue at hand, and the nature of the diplomatic level approached. We explore these issues as important to understanding linkages among the chapters within their respective fields, and across those fields is an important aspect of appreciating the entire picture of America’s current relationship with Cuba Finally, the authors present a plan for the volume, which focuses on three key issue dimensions: political, legal, and economic. Further, the authors identify challenges and opportunities implicit in the diplomatic relationship and its consequences for political, economic, and legal dimensions.

Region Based Segmentation Techniques for Digital Images

This paper discusses region based segmentation techniques for digital images. For a few applications, such as image compression or recognition, we cannot handle the entire picture straightforwardly as it is unconventional and inefficient. Due to these reasons, many algorithms related to image segmentation are proposed in the literature to divide an image prior to compression or recognition. The segmentation of an image is basically done to arrange or group the image in a few fragments (districts) as specified by the elements of an image, for instance, according to the value of pixel or frequency response. Currently, many image segmentation approaches exist and are widely used in across scientific disciplines and daily human life. The segmentation approaches can be generally categorized to segmentation based on region, segmentation based on edges, and information grouping.

Digital Divide in Rural Tertiary Education

Recent studies show that Digital Divide continue to exist persistently despite efforts in a global scale to address the same through diffusion of Information Communication Technology (ICT). Inequality of access to technology as the main driving force behind these efforts, suffered deficiencies to fully capture the entire picture of the gap. The focus now is on the ability to use the technology among those who have access to it where skill and education plays a pivotal role. This is supported by findings of certain studies where digital skill particularly strategic and operational skill dictates a new frontier for bridging the gap especially in rural areas of developing countries where it is prevalent. To investigate whether there exists a digital divide among students enrolled with computer related programs in Eastern Samar State University Borongan City, Eastern Samar Philippines, the researchers conducted a survey using a questionnaire employed by Krause (2014) primarily based on LoTi H.E.A.T. Digital Age Survey developed by Dr. Chris Moersch of the LoTi Institute Carlsbad, California with modification. Data regarding gadgets and access to internet were solicited from the respondents including their perception about their related skills and later analyze and described using descriptive statistics. Results revealed that there exists a digital divide among the four groups of students (BSIT, BSCS, BSCpE, ACT) in terms of availability/access to internet and related technologies including a substantial deficiency in skill/knowledge to use the same
