DISCUSSION IN THE HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHICAL KNOWLEDGE
Authors: STRILKO Dmytro , PERUN Svitlana
Published: January 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the debate in the history of philosophical knowledge. The approaches to the problem of the discussion of the greatest philosophers: Socrates, Aristotle, Kant, Hegel, etc. are analyzed. The features of discourse in antiquity, the Middle Ages, and modern times have been determined. It is established that an important reason for the development of the discussion is the fact that ancient thinkers already began to realize the internal dialectical nature of material, natural, social processes and phenomena. Philosophy, more than any other field of knowledge, needs debate. Where there is no freedom of discussion, there is no true philosophy. Truth is born in controversy. There is probably no other axiom as universally known as this one. But there is no other human activity to which such diametrically opposite evaluations would be applied. Some called the dispute their fate, their element, others avoided it. Kant and Galileo felt pleasure in the struggle of ideas. Newton and Darwin shied away from disputes and polemics, believing that, apart from wasting time and bad mood, they lead to nothing. But both of them sought the truth. In order to find out the truth, it is necessary to study both positions, we need a discussion that communicates not opponents, but interlocutors, and everyone strives not to win, but to reach an agreement, to mutual understanding, through the analysis and synthesis of opinions, to the unity of views on the problem. Therefore, a discussion, a dialogue, a dialectical conversation will lead to the truth (or to a single goal) faster than a dispute saturated with emotional obstacles, temperamental outbursts, the desire to offend the opponent, to strike him more painfully and to defend his opinion by any means. And the fiercer the heat of passions, the more stubborn opponents who convince in their views, the further they depart from the truth. In the course of the discussion, non-traditional approaches to solving complex problems are developed, specific practical proposals and generalizations are made, and proposed initiatives are evaluated. Discussions awaken people's activity and interest, increase mutual demands, self-criticism, strengthen control over the implementation of specific decisions. The article examines some of the main philosophical discussions, conversations, debates during which different views and points of view collided.

Semantic Shift in the Meaning of the Arabic word tamma
Authors: Alhedayani Rukayah
Published: January 2024

Grammaticalisation of lexical items takes place gradually, and to track the changes a word undergoes, a historical corpus is needed. This paper investigates the changes the Arabic word “tamma” underwent. The corpus provided by King Abdul Aziz City for Science and Technology (KACST Arabic Corpus) is used in this study because the search engine for this corpus offers the ability for searches to be time-restricted. Thus, the development of the verb “tamma” was tracked. It was found that this verb is used in the corpus in two ways: as a polysemous lexical verb with three meanings: “to be completed,” “to occur,” and “to remain.” The second use of the verb is as an auxiliary that indicates the completion of the action of the verbal noun it precedes. An important finding is that this use, contrary to common belief, occurred in Arabic during the period between 1101 AD and 1200 AD and is not a modern introduction into Arabic. In order to explain this change, the paper investigates how this verb is translated to English and what grammatical function it has in recent use. This paper also suggests that the verb “tamma” could be defective.
Message in Parsing of a Sentence mentioned in (the book Al-Yamini by Abi Al-Nasr Al-Utbi 427 AH) To Taj al-Din Muhammad bin Muhammad known as Al-Fadhil Al-Isfaraeni He died in 684 AH. Study and Investigation
Authors: AlAmry Aiman
Published: January 2024

This text (the subject of the investigation) is a precious message in its chapter, written by its owner, Taj al-Din Muhammad bin Muhammad, known as Al-Fadil Al-Isfaraeni, who died in the year 684 AH. Its topic is the parsing of a sentence that was mentioned in the book (Al-Yamini) by Abi Al-Nasr Al-Utbi, who died in the year 427 AH, and it contained several circumstances that constitute its parsing and knowledge of its belongings. It is well known that the issue of commenting on the semi-sentence has occupied a wide area in Arabic grammar, and Al-Isfaraeni intended to clarify this problem in this book. By limiting all possible aspects of the syntax of this sentence and mentioning some of the sayings of grammarians and their opinions regarding the issues presented, the letter came to include valuable benefits and many directives, and this is what prompted me to pay attention to it and desire to achieve it. By the grace of God Almighty, this research concluded with the output of this valuable message, achieving its benefits according to the known origins of the investigation, providing a brief definition of its author and Abu Al-Nasr Al-Utbi and his book to the extent that the sources helped me, and a study of the text of the message showing its object and method of the author.
The Restricted Omission (restriction of a subject to its verb, object, or both) is a Semantic Grammatical Study
Authors: Alqudah Abdulrahman
Published: January 2024

This study discusses the omission of the subject and the object in a sentence from a new perspective, which tells that omission represents a form of restrictions; in other accurate words, the omitted form–that is not conceived–shall be deemed restricted, as its omission may mean that the verb shall not be restricted to it. From this perspective, the research tackles the passive verb forms and omission of a restricted object. ‏The research aims to semantically explain omission by proving the point which says that omission may occur to restrict the verb to the omitted form. To fulfill that aim, the research has adopted a descriptive and analytical approach and exceeded this, reaching the application to some positions of omission in the Holy Quran to explain in accordance with this point of view. Organizationally, the research consists of three chapters: the first one tackles the restriction of a verb to the subject, the second one tackles the restriction of a verb to the object, and the third chapter tackles the restriction of a verb to both the subject and object, then there was the conclusion that involves findings and recommendations.

Ibn Atiyyahs Rejection of Lexical and Syntactic Theorization in Al-Muharrar Al-Wajiz An Analytical Study
Authors: Al-Dadi Mogbel
Published: January 2024

Waraqah, the research is concerned with observing the conceptualizations rejected by Ibn Attia in his book (Al-Muharrir al-Wajeez fi Tafsir al-Kitab al-Aziz) and attempting to explain that rejection. This is done after collecting the conceptualizations, arranging them according to their occurrence in the interpretation, and dividing them into two parts: justified rejection and unjustified rejection. The research delves into a set of research questions that emerged from the research problem. The researcher assumes two opposing positions: first, Ibn Attia’s accuracy and his differentiation between the conceptualization under examination and the conceptualization being used, leading to his rejection of certain conceptualizations. Second, the assumption that Ibn Attia’s mandate is the reason for this rejection. He utilizes methodological tools, his knowledge of the origins of issues and their branches, and the distinctions between conceptualizations to either support one of them or combine them. At the end of the research, the researcher arrives at several results, including the most significant reasons for rejecting conceptualizations: verses supporting the best and sustained from the Arabic words, excluding the ugly and the odd; differences in guidance and appreciation, where Ibn Attia may choose a saying in one of the two examples without the other; consideration of the difference in type between the conceptualization under examination and the conceptualization being used; consideration of the moral difference and semantic contrast between the conceptualizations under examination and those being used. Additionally, some conceptualizations and their absence have an effect on the interpretation of verses, the meanings of structures, and the choice of interpretations possible in the linguistic context, while others have no effect on the meaning.
The Polyphonic Poem The “Ra’eyah” Poem by ‘Umar ibn Abi Rabi‘ah as a Model
Authors: Algarni Saeed
Published: January 2024

This research seeks to employ the polyphonic approach that pertains to the novel in studying the poetic text after it expanded and became a fertile field that could be manifested in poetry. Due to this expansion, the elements of this approach have been applied to the poetic text as a literary discourse that has a narrative nature. The “Ra’eyah” poem of ‘Umar ibn Abi Rabi‘ah has been chosen for study in this research because it is considered to be an accurate model of the polyphonic poem that includes all the elements of polyphonic discourse represented by the multiplicity of voices and characters, dialogism, and spacetime, in addition to other elements that are characterized by novelty and innovation such as carnival atmosphere, parody, composition, and hybridization. Through the polyphonic approach, the research aims to apply these elements to the poem of ‘Umar ibn Abi Rabi‘ah to prove that it transcended the monophonic voice and lyricism to the realm of drama and polyphonyristians.
A study on the teaching reform of the course of teacher writing skills for teacher trainees in colleges and universities
Authors: Li Zhen
Published: January 2024

To promote the art of calligraphy and inherit the excellent traditional Chinese culture, it is necessary to strengthen calligraphy education in primary and secondary schools, expand the influence of Chinese character writing education, and comprehensively improve students' writing literacy. However, studies have found that primary and secondary school students' ability to write Chinese characters has weakened, which is naturally related to the weakening of pen-and-paper writing in the information age, but also to the insufficient understanding of calligraphy education in school education and the lack of effective guidance from teachers for students. Teachers' writing level has a profound impact on students, and the demand for teachers to teach calligraphy in basic education poses a challenge to the writing skills of teacher trainees in colleges and universities. However, the current writing skills courses for teachers in colleges and universities have problems such as unclear positioning of the curriculum, the overall quality level of teachers needs to be improved, the skills training of the courses is not prominent enough, and the assessment system is not sound. Accordingly, the path of teaching reform of teachers' writing skills course is proposed: first, adjusting teaching objectives; second, reconstructing teaching modules; third, improving assessment methods; and fourth, carrying out diversified teaching activities.

Economic effect evaluation and collaborative development path research of Linyi red tourism
Authors: Gong Ling
Published: January 2024

Linyi is rich in red tourism resources, with high quality, strong attraction, and great development potential. In recent years, the red tourism industry in Linyi has achieved significant development. Using econometric analysis models, using the Linyi red tourism development (measured by domestic income of red tourism) and regional economic growth (measured by GDP) from 2000 to 2019 as endogenous variables, a VAR model is constructed to empirically analyze the impact of red tourism development on regional economic growth. Through research, it has been found that a positive impact on the domestic and international income growth rates of Linyi's red tourism has a positive impact on the GDP growth rate, and from a trend perspective, the duration is relatively long; This indicates that the domestic and international income of Linyi's red tourism has a significant promoting effect on Linyi's economic growth. From the results of variance decomposition, it can be seen that the contribution rates of domestic and international income from Linyi's red tourism to Linyi's economic growth are not significant at first, without considering the contribution rate of Linyi's economic growth itself. However, there has been a significant growth trend since the second period. Based on the analysis of the economic effects of red tourism, considering the overall nature of Linyi's red culture, proximity to geographical location, convenient transportation, and government support, this paper analyzes the specific path for the coordinated development of Linyi's red tourism. Construct a top-level design for the coordinated development of red tourism resources from the perspectives of goal coordination, organization and interest coordination, and institutional coordination.
Multidimensional Spot of Domination and Courage Among New Athletes Towards a Coaching Program
Authors: 何 攀攀
Published: January 2024

In the realm of competitive sports, athletes face a complex landscape that extends beyond physical demands. The dynamics of athlete-coach relationships, peer interactions, and societal expectations shape their experiences, especially for new athletes. This study delves into the intricate interplay between two fundamental constructs: domination and courage in the context of coaching programs. Domination in sports manifests through coach-athlete power dynamics, peer pressure, and societal expectations. Coaches wield significant influence, impacting athletes' autonomy and decision-making. Peer interactions exert unspoken pressures to conform to team norms, while external societal expectations, such as academic success and career prospects, add further complexity to athletes' pursuits. Courage emerges as a critical attribute, enabling athletes to confront challenges, embrace uncertainties, and persevere in adversity. Athletes exhibit courage by asserting individuality, challenging established norms, and demonstrating resilience. This courage serves as a mechanism for resilience and empowerment, allowing athletes to navigate and transcend domination. Holistic athlete development is emphasized, extending beyond physical training to encompass mental and emotional empowerment. Coaching programs should create supportive and empowering environments, prioritizing athlete autonomy, mental resilience, and well-being. This study provides valuable insights into the experiences of new athletes, highlighting the pivotal role of courage in mitigating domination and fostering comprehensive athlete development.

The use of synthetic herbicides causes many problems, including pollution, a decrease in soil organic content, and weed resistance to specific herbicides. Plants provide a source of novel phytotoxic compounds that can be evaluated in the search for efficient and ecologically safe herbicides. This research aimed to examine the allelochemical bioherbicidal activity of sambiloto (Andrographis paniculate Ness) leaf extract (SLE) to suppress weed seed germination and growth. The experiment was designed to investigate the effect of the SLE as a potent weed seed germination inhibitor and retard weed growth. In this experiment, a non-factorial randomized block design was used, with treatments SLE0 (0% Extract), SLE1 (Extract 0.1%), SLE2 (Extract 0.5%), SLE3 (Extract 1.0%), and SLE4 (Extract 1.5%). The result showed that weed height and biomass were significantly reduced after the extract was applied. The plant-based extracts contained 0.1114% flavonoids and 0.1628% tannins. The findings suggest that this sambiloto herbaceous extract has a promising future in modern plant protection as bioherbicide to suppress germination and weed growth. Therefore, the application of these bio-products could be beneficial for sustainable agricultural practices.

Updated Modified BG Prasad Classification for October 2023
Authors: Mahantshetti Sushmitha , Singh Jyoti , Dhandapani Srihari
Published: January 2024

Dear Editor,

The Brahm Govind Prasad or BG Prasad classification for eliciting the socio-economic classification of the urban and rural families in India is a commonly used scale as a determinant of an individual’s health. It is easy to calculate, and it can be applied to all sections of society This classification purely depends on rates of year-on-year inflation and the changes in prices of consumer products such as Food & Beverages, Pan, Supari, Tobacco & Intoxicants, Clothing & Footwear, Housing, Fuel & Light and Miscellaneous (1). These outcome of these changes are depicted in the All-India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers (CPI-IW) which is released by the Labour Bureau, an attached office of the Ministry of Labour & Employment under the Government of India. The All-India CPI-IW for September 2023 stands at 137.5 (one hundred thirty-seven point five) (2).

There is a scope for periodic revision of the BG Prasad Scale as it was initially introduced in 1961, with the CPI for 1960 serving as the base value of 100. In the subsequent years, few more modifications and emendations had to be made. Linkage factors were introduced to convert the CPI back to the base year of 1960 (100) during the years 1982, 2001 and 2016 which are 4.63, 4.93 and 2.88 respectively (3, 4).

Calculation of Revised Modified B G Prasad classification for September 2023

Correction factor = current index value (137.5) x linkage factor between 1960 and 1982 (4.63) x linkage factor between 1982 and 2001 (4.63) x linkage factor between 2001 and 2016 (2.88) whole divided by base index in 2016 (100) = 90.39

The new income values can now be calculated using the formula, New income values = Correction factor x old income value of 1961. Table 1 shows the updated values of per capita monthly income for September 2023.

Authors: Tomasouw John Foster Chrisna , Titaley Christiana , Malakauseya Maxwell Landri Vers , Kailola Nathalie Elischeva , Krentel Alison
Published: January 2024

Background: Mass Drug Administration (MDA) is a strategy to eliminate lymphatic filariasis (LF) in endemic areas. However, individuals' decision to take LF drugs in MDA is associated with their knowledge and awareness about LF. This study examined the association between the community’s level of knowledge and awareness about LF with the number of informant types and media types for LF information in Waihaong and Air Salobar Health Centers, Ambon City, Indonesia.
Methodology: We used data from a household survey conducted in January 2019 involving 944 respondents aged 18-70 living in the study sites. Data analysis was performed using multivariable logistic regression.
Results: We found that only 33.3% of respondents had a high level of knowledge and awareness about LF. An increased odds of having a high level of knowledge and awareness about LF was associated with respondents receiving information from more than one type of informant and one type of media (aOR=10.55, 95%CI: 2.35-47.37, p=0.002), and among female respondents (aOR=1.92, 95%CI: 1.25-2.94).
Conclusions: These findings emphasize the importance of comprehensive health promotion strategies using different types of informants and media to enhance the community's knowledge and awareness about LF, which is important to support the elimination of LF in Ambon City, Indonesia.

De normatieve grondslagen van de ontoerekenbaarheid

In de zaak van Thijs H. die onder invloed van een psychose drie mensen vermoordde heeft de Hoge Raad criteria geformuleerd voor ontoerekenbaarheid in de zin van artikel 39 Sr. De essentie daarvan is dat het feit niet aan de dader kan worden toegerekend wanneer de dader door de psychose niet kon begrijpen dat zijn gedraging wederrechtelijkheid was of niet naar dat begrip kon handelen. In dit artikel wordt betoogd dat dat criterium te beperkt is. Het zou niet alleen moeten gaan om juridische wederrechtelijkheid, maar ook om morele ongeoorloofdheid: kon de dader niet begrijpen dat hij in strijd handelde met de normatieve grondslagen van het strafrecht of kon hij niet naar dat begrip handelen?

Het vaststellen van het daderschap van de rechtspersoon in de strafrechtpraktijk

In 2003 heeft de Hoge Raad met het Drijfmestarrest een richtinggevend, maar tegelijkertijd open kader ontwikkeld voor het daderschap van de rechtspersoon: het Drijfmestkader. Het kader fungeert inmiddels al twintig jaar als het toetsingskader om de feiten te beoordelen en uiteindelijk tot een oordeel te komen over het daderschap van de rechtspersoon. Toch bestaan er nog diverse vragen en onduidelijkheden over de rol en de inhoudelijke betekenis van de onderdelen van het kader, waaronder de Drijfmestomstandigheden. Aan de hand van een gestructureerde en gedetailleerde analyse van driehonderd uitspraken van rechtbanken en gerechtshoven met de rechtspersoon als verdachte is het mogelijk om onduidelijkheden over de omstandigheden op te helderen en om concrete handreikingen te geven voor de rechtspraktijk. Zo biedt de feitenrechtspraak aanknopingspunten die de inhoudelijke betekenis van de omstandigheden verduidelijken en behulpzaam kunnen zijn in toekomstige zaken. De analyse brengt ook foutieve en risicovolle toepassingen van de omstandigheden aan het licht. Op deze toepassingswijzen kan de verdediging alert zijn. Tot slot maakt de analyse inzichtelijk welke vragen over de omstandigheden nog openstaan.
