Published: October 2024

Research indicates that the underlying neurobiology of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) may stem from a combination of genetic and environmental contributions. Genetic and epigenetic research have highlighted the potential role of the sialtransferase gene ST3GAL3 in this process. Adopting a pathways approach, this study sought to examine the role that ST3GAL3 and other sialic acid metabolism (SAM) genes play in ADHD. Peripheral measures of DNA methylation (Illumina 850k EPIC; saliva samples) and clinical data were collected as part of a community-based pediatric cohort consisting of 90 children with ADHD [mage= 10.40 (0.49); 66% male] and 50 non-ADHD controls [mage= 10.40 (0.45); 48% male]. Using Reactome, 33 SAM genes were defined and resulted in a total of 1419 probes which included associated promotor/enhancer regions. Linear regression analysis was undertaken to explore differences in SAM probe DNA methylation between children with and without ADHD. The relationship with ADHD symptom severity was also examined. Analysis found 38 probes in the group-regression, and 64 probes in the symptom severity regression reached significance at an uncorrected level (a = 0.05). No probes survived correction for multiple comparisons. Enrichment analysis revealed an overall pattern of hypermethylation across the SAM pathway for the ADHD group, with 84% of nominally significant probes being annotated to sialyltransferase genes. These results suggest that ST3GAL3 and the broader SAM pathway could contribute to subtly disrupted epigenetic regulation in ADHD. However, extensive longitudinal research, across broad developmental age ranges, is necessary to further explore these findings.
Quantifying of highly radioactive and radiotoxic Polonium-210 Intake from Cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.): Impacts of Different Smoking and Vaporization Techniques
Authors: Wieczorek Jaroslaw , Boryło Alicja
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the radiation dose that humans receive from naturally occurring uranium-series radionuclides, with a focus on alpha-emitting polonium-210 (210Po), which has a half-life of 138.4 days. Polonium is efficiently absorbed by living organisms and is estimated to contribute approximately 7% of the total effective dose from ingested natural internal radiation. The primary source of atmospheric 210Po is the decay of radon-222 (222Rn), which precipitates onto land and water surfaces, including crops. In Cannabis sativa, 210Po accumulates primarily through direct deposition on leaf surfaces and from fertilizers, particularly phosphate fertilizers. This study examined 10 samples of dried hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) legally available in Poland, assessing 210Po concentrations through radiochemical analysis. Various consumption methods were analysed, including smoking with a glass pipe, a water pipe (bong), a cigarette (joint or spliff), and vaporization. The desorption of 210Po during combustion and vaporization was measured, revealing significant differences based on the method used. Results showed that smoking with a glass pipe resulted in the highest desorption of 210Po (approximately 80%), while water pipe and blunt smoking exhibited lower desorption rates (around 40%). The efficiency of 210Po adsorption in filters varied, with water filters showing about 8% absorption and cellulose filters about 20%. Vaporization results indicated that the desorption of 210Po increased with temperature. These findings underscore the importance of considering the method of consumption when calculating the radiation dose from 210Po, as the differences can significantly impact the accuracy of dose assessments. The study highlights the need for further research to optimize safety guidelines for cannabis consumption in relation to radioactive contaminants.

Authors: Wagialla Kamil M. , Abuelgasim Doaa , Elhussein Aisha
Published: October 2024

This paper introduces a novel metric; Return on Incremental Investment (ROII), to assess project economic profitability within the framework of clean technologies. A heat exchange network (HEN) is taken as an example for the implementation of ROII as a systematic economic evaluation approach. Through a case study of a simplified green grass chemical facility, the economic analysis involves heat integration via algebraic and mathematical mixed integer linear programming (MILP), estimation of additional capital expenditure, utility cost savings, and eventually ROII calculation. The computational procedures are outlined in a step-by-step approach, starting from the extraction of streams’ thermodynamic data up to the final stage of ROII assessment. The findings offer valuable insights for industrial experts and plant managers to make informed decisions based on prioritized economic performance benchmarking for commercially sustainable economic development objectives. Overall, this study contributes to advancing the rigorous assessment of economic viability within the context of clean technologies, facilitating informed decision-making towards energy-efficient technologies and sustainable economic development initiatives. The results of the economic evaluation of the undertaken case study underscore the high sensitivity of ROII to changes in utility costs, particularly the cost of power.

Authors: Yu Li-Fang , Zhu Luo-Xi , Dai Chao-Chao , Xu Xiao-Jing , Tan Yan-Juan , Yan Hong-Ju , Bao Ling-Yun
Published: October 2024

Background
It is challenging to correctly identify and diagnose breast nonmass lesions. This study aimed to explore the multimodal ultrasound features associated with malignant breast nonmass lesions (NMLs), and evaluate their combined diagnostic performance.
Methods
This retrospective analysis was conducted on 573 breast NMLs, with multimodal ultrasound features being reassessed by two experienced radiologists. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to explore multimodal ultrasound features associated with malignancy, and developed a nomogram. Diagnostic performance and clinical utility were evaluated and validated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve and decision curve in the training and validation cohorts.
Results
Multimodal ultrasound features including linear (odds ratio [OR] = 4.69, P = 0.021) or segmental distribution (OR = 7.67, P = 0.020), posterior shadowing (OR = 3.14, P = 0.006), calcification (OR = 7.40, P < 0.001), hypovascularity (OR = 0.38, P = 0.003), elasticity score of 4 (OR = 7.00, P < 0.001) and 5 (OR = 15.77, P < 0.001) were independent factors associated with malignant breast NMLs. The nomogram based on these features exhibited diagnostic performance comparable to that of experienced radiologists, with superior specificity (89.4%, 89.5% vs. 81.2%) and positive predictive value (PPV) (89.2%, 90.4% vs. 82.4%). The nomogram also demonstrated good calibration in both training and validation cohorts (all P > 0.05). Decision curve analysis indicated that interventions guided by the nomogram would be beneficial across a wide range of threshold probabilities (0.05 ~ 1 in the training cohort and 0.05 ~ 0.93 in the validation cohort).
Conclusions
The combined use of linear or segmental distribution, posterior shadowing, calcification, hypervascular and high elasticity score, displayed as a nomogram, demonstrated satisfied diagnostic performance for malignant breast NMLs, which may contribute to the imaging interpretation and clinical management of tumors.
Sequencing the Neurome: Towards Scalable Exact Parameter Reconstruction of Black-Box Neural Networks
Authors: Goldfeder Judah , Roets Quinten , Guo Gabe , Wright John , Lipson Hod
Published: October 2024

Inferring the exact parameters of a neural network with only query access is an NP-Hard problem, with few practical existing algorithms. Solutions would have major implications for security, verification, interpretability, and understanding biological networks. The key challenges are the massive parameter space, and complex non-linear relationships between neurons.
We resolve these challenges using two insights. First, we observe that almost all networks used in practice are produced by random initialization and first order optimization, an inductive bias that drastically reduces the practical parameter space. Second, we present a novel query generation algorithm that produces maximally informative samples, letting us untangle the non-linear relationships efficiently.
We demonstrate reconstruction of a hidden network containing over 1.5 million parameters, and of one 7 layers deep, the largest and deepest reconstructions to date, with max parameter difference less than 0.0001, and illustrate robustness and scalability across a variety of architectures, datasets, and training procedures.
Teaching Interactive Language: The Perspectives and Approaches of EFL Teachers in High schools and Certain Students in Particular
Authors: Obsa Obsa
Published: October 2024

This study aimed to investigate how high school EFL teachers and students perceived CLT and to what extent they used the principles across their entire classes in the Ethiopian high school setting. The research was carried out using a combination of techniques. Exploratory research approach was used in the study to clarify reliable participant data. 100 students and 26 English language teachers from secondary schools in the West Guji Zone participated in the study, which was carried out in a few chosen secondary schools in the zone. Purposive and random sampling approaches were applied in the sample population selection process. The observation checklist, interview, and questionnaire served as the data gathering tools. Whereas information from interviews and observations was qualitatively presented to support the quantitative data, information from questionnaires was quantitatively evaluated and interpreted in terms of percentages. Overall study results showed that a majority of teachers (80.41%) and over half of participants (62.33%) had a somewhat positive opinion of the CLT premises. The study, however, reveals a stark disparity between the way instructors and students actually use CLT in an EFL setting and how they perceive it.

Published: October 2024

Adopting current-driven switching mechanisms in spintronic devices has effectively addressed the challenges of magnetic field-dependent switching and large device footprints(1, 2), thereby providing a high-density, fast, energy-efficient, and non-volatile memory solution for massive data handling3–7. The Spin-Filter Tunnel Junction (SFTJ) is emerging as an alternative spintronic device for memory applications(8, 9). However, until now, SFTJ devices have been manipulated by external magnetic fields. This paper reports the current-induced switching in the SFTJ devices, where the magnetic state of the ferromagnetic insulating manganite, Sm0.75Sr0.25MnO3 (SSMO), serving as the spin-filter barrier, is manipulated by the current. The realization of these devices involved the growth of lattice-matched oxide heterostructures and the fabrication of nanopillar tunnel devices, achieving an unconventional magnetoresistance (MR) of approximately 200% at 5K. This work highlights the strong influence of applied current on the magnetic switching field, suggesting a current-induced inverse metamagnetic transition in the ferromagnetic insulating barrier layer. Through comprehensive analysis under various experimental conditions and supported by theoretical calculations, this study presents the first demonstration of current-induced magnetic field-free switching in SFTJ devices. This marks a significant advancement in the field of spintronics, particularly at low temperatures, for energy-efficient cryogenic memory technology applicable to quantum electronics(10, 11) and quantum computing(12, 13).
Strategic Enhancements in Electricity Price Forecasting: The Role of XGBoost and Error Correction Features
Authors: Tightiz Lilia , Yoo Joon , Al-Shibli Wedad Khamis
Published: October 2024

Due to the fact that the electricity markets are now driven by the integration of renewable energy sources, they experience very high price volatility. This paper presents the upgraded forecasting model with a view to managing such volatility by making use of an improved XGBoost algorithm with error-corrective features. Important factors such as holidays and dew point are considered in explaining their substantial influence on the dynamics of electricity pricing. The model ingests hour-based load and pricing information from the ISO New England energy market. Afterwards, Bayesian optimization of hyperparameters further makes the model very accurate and computationally efficient. Results in Mean Absolute Error (rMAE) and Symmetric Mean Absolute Percentage Error (sMAPE) show this model to be very resilient against contemporary energy market complexity.
Impact of Dual Optical Feedback on theDynamics of a Photonic Neuron: EnhancedDeterminism and Temporal Symmetries
Authors: Bannon John P. , Main Eli , Hill Thomas , Aragoneses Andrés
Published: October 2024

In a complex dynamical system, noise, feedback, and external forces shape behavior that can range from regularity to high-dimensional chaos. Multiple feedback sources can significantly alter its dynamics, potentially even suppressing the system's output. This study investigates the impact of competing feedback sources on a stochastic complex dynamical system using a photonic neuron—a diode laser with external optical feedback. By varying the feedback intensities from two external reflectors, we explore how dual feedback influences the system's behavior. Using ordinal analysis and advanced measures of complexity, we quantify the system's dynamics and uncover underlying symmetries. Our findings reveal that the interaction between the two feedback sources induces a more intense deterministic behavior, distinct from the dynamics produced by each feedback source individually. Additionally, clear temporal symmetries emerge across all dynamical regimes. By employing a novel entropy-vector representation, we are able to identify a unique signature that characterizes the system's dynamics.
Knockdown Resistance (kdr) Associated Organochlorine Resistance in Mosquito-Borne Diseases (Anopheles albimanus, Anopheles darlingi, Anopheles dirus and Anopheles punctipennis): A Systematic Review Study
Authors: Abbasi Ebrahim , Daliri Salman
Published: October 2024

Introduction:
Anopheles albimanus, Anopheles darlingi, Anopheles dirus, and Anopheles punctipennis are malaria vectors in many world regions. The resistance of these vectors against insecticides, especially organochlorine insecticides, has significantly hindered efforts to control them. Although one of the causes of resistance is kdr mutation, studies in this field have been done sporadically. As a result, this study was conducted to investigate the kdr mutation in the mentioned vectors using a systematic review method.
Methods
This study was conducted as a systematic review of kdr mutation in Anopheles albimanus, Anopheles darlingi, Anopheles dirus, and Anopheles punctipennis. Therefore, the international scientific databases PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Science Direct, and Google Scholar were searched, and all relevant articles were extracted and surveyed without a time limit until the end of June 2024. The quality assessment of the articles was done using the Strobe checklist.
Result
Five articles were included in the systematic review process. The findings indicated that kdr mutation was not observed in any of the four species of Anopheles albimanus, Anopheles darlingi, Anopheles dirus, and Anopheles punctipennis, and the causes of resistance are other factors, including other metabolic resistances such as MFO and NSE.
Conclusion
Based on the findings, kdr mutation does not play any role in creating resistance in Anopheles albimanus, Anopheles darlingi, Anopheles dirus, and Anopheles punctipennis. Considering these vectors' various behavioral and biological characteristics, other metabolic and behavioral can cause resistance against organochlorine insecticides. Consequently, there is a need to conduct studies on the factors that cause resistance in these vectors.
Molecular and functional characterization of Echinococcus multilocularis delta/notch signalling components
Authors: Speicher Chris , Bergmann Monika , Brehm Klaus
Published: October 2024

Pluripotent somatic stem cells are the drivers of unlimited growth of Echinococcus multilocularis metacestode tissue within organs of the intermediate host. For developing anti-infectives against the underlying disease, alveolar echinococcosis, it is vital to understand the basic mechanisms of Echinococcus stem cell maintenance, proliferation, and differentiation. We herein undertake first steps towards characterizing the role of an evolutionarily old system of metazoan cell differentiation, delta/notch signalling, in Echinococcus cell fate decisions. Bioinformatic analyses revealed that all central components of this pathway are encoded by the Echinococcus genome and are expressed in parasite larval stages. By in situ hybridisation we analysed the expression patterns of two delta-like ligands, delta1 and delta2, as well as two notch receptors, notch1 and notch2. We show that these components display ‘salt-and-pepper’-like expression patterns in the Echinococcus protoscolex, indicative of lateral inhibition mechanisms. Two of these genes, delta2 and notch2, are posteriorly expressed in the protoscolex and are the major components of delta/notch signalling in the metacestode. EdU incorporation assays revealed that none of the delta/notch signalling factors is expressed in germinative cells nor in their immediate progeny, indicating that Echinococcus delta/notch dependent cell fate decisions are exclusively determined in post-mitotic cells. Finally, RNA interference against delta2 and notch2 led to significantly diminished production of metacestode vesicles from Echinococcus primary cell cultures, thus underlining the importance of this pathway for parasite development within the host. These analyses are relevant for understanding the interplay of fate determining signalling pathways in Echinococcus cell differentiation and may be exploited for the development of novel anti-infectives against echinococcosis.
K-fold cross-validation based frequentist model averaging for linear models with nonignorable missing responses
Authors: Liang Zhongqi , Cai Li , Wang Suojin , Wang Qihua
Published: October 2024

A frequentist model averaging method based on K-fold cross-validation is proposed for linear models with nonignorable missing responses. When all the candidate models are misspecified, the asymptotic optimality of the proposed method is established in the sense that it can asymptotically achieve the minimum squared loss. If the set of the candidate models contains the correct ones, the proposed method is also shown to be selection consistent in the sense that the sum of the model averaging weights assigned to the correct candidate models asymptotically converges to one. Numerical simulations were conducted to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method, and as an illustration the proposed method was applied to analyze a diabetes dataset.
Approximate Dynamic Global Illumination for VR
Authors: Papaioannou Georgios
Published: October 2024

Convincing illumination is a major component of visual immersion in virtual worlds. For dynamic environments, the direct and indirect scattering of light must adapt to changes in both the geometry and the light sources, a computationally demanding task for typical untethered VR systems or mobile platforms. In this paper we explore a simple yet effective approach to generate real-time, responsive illumination effects due to the indirect scattering of light in the virtual space, based on the well-studied approach of instant radiosity and the notion of virtual point lights (VPLs), which simulate global illumination via direct lighting. However, contrary to the instant radiosity method, where VPLs are spawned on demand by tracing photons from the light sources, here the VPLs are statically defined and represent the geometric and material properties of the underlying environment. Dynamic updates to the VPLs intensity allow for fast reflected light estimation, taking into account light source visibility. We provide a full details and evaluation of the methodology and easy-to-use source code to apply the technique in the Unity game engine.

Authors: Kapoor Anurag , Sharma Pradeep , Kumar Ajai , Mittal Kailash K , Chauhan Jitendra Pratap Singh , Nardev  , Singh Amit Kumar , Singh Kumar
Published: October 2024

Background:
Oral cancer is a significant global health issue, and nearly one-third of cases are in India. The late-stage diagnosis common in India leads to poor survival outcomes, highlighting the need for early detection and effective biomarkers.
Introduction:
This study explored the potential of serum β2-microglobulin (β2 M) and lipid-bound sialic acid (LSA) as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for oral carcinoma, with a focus on the Indian population, where the disease burden is exceptionally high.
Methodology:
This case‒control study involved 200 participants (100 oral cancer patients and 100 healthy controls) aged > 20–60 years. Serum β2 M and LSA levels were measured using ELISA kits. All the statistical analyses, including ROC analysis and correlation studies, were performed using SPSS software to assess the diagnostic accuracy and clinical relevance of these biomarkers.
Results:
Serum β2 M and LSA levels were significantly greater in oral cancer patients than in controls, with β2 M showing near-perfect diagnostic accuracy (AUC 0.999) and LSA demonstrating excellent accuracy (AUC 0.945). Both biomarkers strongly correlated with advanced AJCC stages, underscoring their potential in assessing disease severity and aiding early detection.
Conclusion:
Serum β2 M and LSA levels are promising biomarkers for the diagnosis and assessment of oral carcinoma. Their incorporation into clinical practice could enhance early detection, prognosis, and treatment monitoring, ultimately improving patient outcomes. However, further research with larger cohorts is needed to validate these findings and explore their longitudinal applicability.
Bio-resistant construction materials to enhance the ecological sustainability of structures and buildings
Authors: Al-Dulaimi Salman , Anatolyevich Svetlov Dmitry
Published: October 2024

Current attention is mostly directed towards the matter of ensuring safe human habitation in residential and commercial settings, as well as in other biological categories. Microorganisms that arise in the soil, with a little atmospheric movement, are carried over vast distances and build up in enclosed spaces. Under these circumstances, minuscule organisms can lead to allergies, mycotic lung infections, Sick Building Syndrome (SBS), and the degradation of construction items and materials. This essay explores the potential environmental benefits of using biocidal chemicals and materials in buildings. In the construction and maintenance of buildings and structures, composite materials composed of several binders are used. The detailed study materials and methodologies are provided. Teflex-modified gypsum composites are classified as materials in further development. Teflex's capacity to bind to cell walls and membranes, penetrate cell nuclei, and suppress cellular enzymes allows it to effectively prevent bacterial growth. Empirical investigations have proven the most effective quantitative composition of the biocidal additive. Utilising biocidal gypsum composites enhances the environmental conditions in urban buildings and structures.This study aimed to improve building conditions by integrating stable biological products and gypsum compounds with biocidal additives. To manufacture a modified gypsum plaster, the work employs TFLEX, a guanidine actuator-based chemical that activates biological enzymes in nocturnal bacteria when added to cell walls and cells. The number of examples showcasing the substantial significance of biosides in improving programming environment optimization has increased.Innovative composite materials with biocidal additives are used in this work to eliminate bacteria and fungi in buildings and structures, without the need of pesticides, therefore reducing biological degradation. The importance of pre-designing construction materials to prevent biological harm is emphasized in this paper. A novel approach is suggested for the direct integration of biocidal chemicals into construction materials, therefore extending their durability and protecting the indoor environment.
Безотносительное и независимое. О различии терминов и слов в «Критике чистого разума» Канта
Authors: Молчанов В.И
Published: October 2024

Различие анализа и интерпретации - основа исследования контекстов, в которых функционирует кантовский термин Ding an sich, а также другие термины, имеющие в своем составе структуру an sich. Исходя из различия между безотносительностью и независимостью анализируются переводы этих терминов в пяти изданиях «Критики чистого разума» И. Канта на русском языке. Рассматривается различие между терминами и сходными языковыми выражениями, не являющимися терминами. Особое внимание уделяется различию конкурирующих терминов «вещь в себе» и «вещь сама по себе». Выявляется тавтологический характер определений вещи в себе и явлений у Канта; выявляется также основание для многообразия интерпретаций «вещи в себе».

The difference between analysis and interpretation is the basis for studying the contexts in which the Kantian term Ding an sich operates, as well as other terms that include the structure an sich. Based on the difference between irrelativeness and independence, translations of these terms in five editions of the Critique of Pure Reason in Russian are analyzed. The difference between terms and similar language expressions that are not terms is considered. Particular attention is paid to the distinction between the competing terms «Ding an sich selbst» and «Sache an sich selbst», as well as to the term “Affizierung”, which does not exist in Kant’s language but is used by Russian translators and researchers. The tautological character of the definitions of things in themselves and of phenomena in Kant is clarified. The basis for the variety of interpretations of the “thing-in-itself” is revealed. In any discussion of any objects, there is always an explicit or implicit, reference to experience. No exception is any argument about things in themselves. When trying to describe them, they acquire, in the final analysis, the characteristics of cognizable and identifiable things that function in different spaces of the human world.
Единство платоновского «Государства»: два типа эйдосов
Authors: Протопопова И.А
Published: October 2024

Статья посвящена проблеме единства государства и души в платоновском «Государстве», а также вопросу единства самого текста диалога. Содержательное единство «Государства» рассматривается сквозь призму двух разных типов эйдосов (пронизывающий и собирательный) и структуры текста. Автор полагает, что пронизывающий эйдос справедливости связывает в данном диалоге собирательные эйдосы души и государства, и подобная модель «целого», встречаясь по меньшей мере в диалогах «Пир», «Софист» и «Тимей», является своего рода решением одной из важнейших для Платона проблем «единое//многое». Работа состоит из трех частей: в первой разбираются два типа эйдосов; во второй прослежено, как конкретно разыгрывается в диалоге их взаимодействие с точки зрения содержания; в третьей кратко показано, как это преломляется в самой структуре текста.

The article deals with the problem of the unity of state and soul in Plato’s Republic , as well as the unity of the dialogue itself. The substantial unity of the State is considered through the prism of two different types of eidos (permeating and collective) and the structure of the text. The author believes that the permeating eidos of justice connects the collective eidos of the soul and the state in this dialogue. Such a model of the "whole" is found at least in the dialogues Symposium , Sophist and Timaeus and is a kind of solution to one of the most important problems for Plato "one//many". The work consists of three parts: the first deals with two types of eidos; the second traces how their interaction in terms of content is played out in the dialogue; the third briefly shows how it is refracted in the structure of the text.

Ravaisson, “Métaphysique et morale”, Revue de Métaphysique et de Morale , 1893, № 1, pp. 6-25. In this paper, Ravaisson expounds his ideas about true metaphysics, tracing its origins in the ideas of the philosophers of antiquity and modern times. In his opinion, the practical expression of this metaphysical theory is the ideal of generosity and self-sacrifice, that underlies “heroic philosophy”.

Проблема субъективности: внутренние пространства как граница индивидуального и коллективного в работах Вальтера Беньямина
Authors: Савина М.А
Published: October 2024

Среди диалектических оппозиций В. Беньямина оппозиция индивидуального и коллективного является одной из центральных, организующих его мышление. Особо стоит отметить неоконченный проект «Das Passagen-Werk», в котором Беньямин переносит в сферу политического и социального способы мысли и описания истории, раскрытые им прежде на материале индивидуального опыта в «Улице с односторонним движением» и «Берлинском детстве на рубеже веков». Актуализируя опыт исторического в противоположность праисторической реальности мифа ( Urgeschichte ) и отграничиваясь от редукционистской, антиисторической на его взгляд теории коллективного бессознательного Юнга, Беньямин разрабатывает собственное понятие диалектического образа, а также связанного с ним коллективного опыта, исходя из которого предлагает описание субъекта истории. Статья посвящена коллективной и индивидуальной составляющим субъективности, раскрываемым в текстах Беньямина на примере интерьера и архитектуры внутренних пространств.
Теория восприятия в «Теэтете» и «Тимее» Платона
Authors: Волкова Н.П.
Published: October 2024

В статье рассматривается учение Платона о чувственном восприятии и предлагается его понимание как единого учения на основании текстов двух диалогов Теэтета и Тимея . В начале исследования автор анализирует две интерпретации теории ощущений Платона в Теэтете , согласно которым эта теория (1) является пересказом теории Протагора либо (2) принадлежит самому Платону. Автор статьи, придерживаясь второй точки зрения, стремится показать, что диалог Тимей предоставляет необходимый контекст для интерпретации теории восприятия, изложенной в Теэтете . В результате исследования автор приходит к следующим выводам: что в Теэтете имеются прямые отсылки к тексту Тимея , в котором теория восприятия дана в математической (пифагорейской) интерпретации что математическая интерпретация процесса восприятия является необходимым дополнением к теории восприятия в Теэтете , где используются понятия меры и соразмерности в описании указанного процесса, и наконец, что математическая интерпретация теории восприятия не противоречит ходу рассуждений Платона в Теэтете .

In this article an author discusses Platos doctrine of sense perception and offers its interpretation as a united consistent theory based on the texts of two dialogues Theaetetus and Timaeus. In the beginning of the study the author analyzes two ways of interpretation of Platos theory of perception in Theaetetus. According to the first method, this theory is a paraphrase of the theory of Protagoras according to the second, it belongs to Plato himself. The author of the article adheres to the second point of view and tries to show that Timaeus provides the necessary context for interpreting the theory of perception set forth in Theaetetus. As a result of the study the author comes to the following conclusions: 1) there are direct references to the Timaeus in the text of Theaetetus, in which the theory of perception is given in mathematical (Pythagorean) interpretation 2) the mathematical interpretation of theprocess of perception is a necessary addition to the description of perception in Theaetetus, which uses the concepts of measure and proportionality in the explanation of the process of perception 3) and finally, the mathematical interpretation of thetheory of perception does not contradict Platos thought in Theaetetus.

Автор статьи исследует соотношение религии и философии в дневнике Анри Амьеля (18211881) и приходит к выводу, что в молодые годы Амьель был скорее учеником Шеллинга, чем Гегеля, разделяя шеллингианскую позицию позитивности и признавая первенство религии перед философией в домостроительстве духа. В дальнейшем, по мнению автора статьи, успехи наук о природе подталкивали швейцарского философа к переосмыслению разделяемого им ранее соотношения религии и философии, в результате чего трансцендентный Бог уходит с горизонта его мысли и его место занимает имманентный бог философов-рационалистов. Как показывает автор статьи, Амьель колеблется между теизмом и пантеизмом, соответственно, между Лейбницем и Спинозой таким образом, что философия и религия у него сходятся в понятии идеала и долга, предполагающих спиритуалистическое понимание бытия.

In this article is analyzed the relation between religion and philosophy in the diary of the Suisse philosopher Henri Amiel (18211881). The author demonstrates that Amiel at young years most likely was the pupil of Schelling than Hegels one and recognized the primacy of religion in front of philosophy. But after, as the author means, he changed his attitude concerning this fundamental relation. As a result of this transformation the transcendent God replaced by the immanent one. In this article the author expresses the opinion that Amiel hesitate between theism and pantheism, respectively Leibnitz and Spinoza. The notions of ideal and duty in theirs jointing resumes Amiels spiritualism.
Осмысление феномена святости в религиозной философии С.А. Алексеева (Аскольдова)

Published: October 2024

В статье анализируются основные идеи русского религиозного философа эпохи Серебряного века Сергея Алексеевича Алексеева (Аскольдова). Раскрываются основные моменты его личной и творческой биографии. Рассматривается весь широкий спектр философских увлечений мыслителя, сформировавший его собственные идеи: от теории познания и панпсихизма его отца А.А. Козлова, до православного богословия и системы христианской политики В.С. Соловьева. В контексте собственных взглядов Аскольдова показана эволюция его представлений о Церкви и святости, что является главным предметом его исследований в работе Святость и ее достижение . Проанализированы основные этапы развития богословских взглядов Аскольдова: от отвлеченного теоретизирования в ранних сочинениях ( Философия и жизнь , 1902) до более конкретных, практических идеалов ( О старом и новом религиозном сознании , 1907 Религиозный смысл русской революции , 1918). На примере работ Четыре разговора и Мысленный образ Христа (19361937) рассмотрен поздний этап развития религиозно-философских идей мыслителя. Кроме того, продемонстрирована связь представлений Аскольдова о святости с аналогичными идеями в рамках русской духовно-академической и светской традиции (в частности, с концепциями В.И. Герье и Л.П. Карсавина).

Article devoted to the analysis of the main ideas of Russian Silver Age religious thinker, Sergey Alekseev (Askoldov). The highlights of his personal life and scientific career are revealed. The whole wide range of Askoldovs philosophical interests, which formed his own ideas is considered: from the theory of knowledge and panpsychism of his father Alexey Kozlov, till Orthodox theology and Vladimir Solovyovs system of Christian politics. In the context of his original views, the evolution of Askoldovs ideas about the Church and holiness is shown, which is the main subject of his research in the following article Holiness and Its Achievements. The main stages of the development of Askoldovs theological views are analyzed: from abstract theorizing in early works (Philosophy and Life, 1902) to more specific, practical ideals (About the old and the new religious consciousness, 1907 Religious meaning of the Russian revolution, 1918). On the example of the works Four Conversations and The Mental Image of Christ (1936-1937), the late stage of Askoldovs religious and philosophical ideas is considered. In addition, the relationship of Askoldovs ideas about holiness with similar ideas in the framework of the Russian spiritual, academic and secular tradition (in particular, with the concepts of Vladimir Guerrier and Lev Karsavin) is demonstrated.
Возможна ли фундаментальная онтология?
Authors: Круглов А.Н.
Published: October 2024

В статье ставится вопрос о том, возможна ли фундаментальная онтология. Для ответа на него очерчиваются истоки термина “онтология” в XVII в., а также его развитие и видоизменение в XVIII–XIX вв. Происхождение термина “фундаментальная онтология” у М. Хайдеггера, который играет немаловажную роль в таких его сочинениях, как «Кант и проблема метафизики» и «Бытие и время», объясняется аналогией с фундаментальной теологией, а также влиянием сочинений К. Брайга. Претензии Хайдеггера на открывшуюся ему “подлинную” онтологию имели под собой псевдоэтимологические и псевдоисторические, а также сомнительные философские основания. Псевдоэтимологические и псевдоисторические аргументы Хайдеггера проясняются на примере его обращения с сочинениями Баумгартена и Канта. Сомнительные философские основания состоят в невозможности фундаментальной онтологии Хайдеггера претендовать на некую общезначимость и фундаментальность в духе Аристотеля и Канта, анахронических метасциентистских претензиях, вкусовщине и придании трансцендентального характера экзистенциалам. В итоге ответ автора на поставленный вопрос звучит так: в дескриптивном смысле имеется «фундаментальная онтология Хайдеггера», в то время как фундаментальная онтология отсутствует, и ее никогда не было – вероятно, в силу ее невозможности.

The issue of the paper is the question if the fundamental ontology is possible. To answer it, I outline the sources of the term “ontology” in the 17th century and its development and modification in the 18–19th centuries. The contribution argues that the origin of the term “fundamental ontology” in M. Heidegger is due to both the analogy with the fundamental theology and C. Braig’s works’ influence. Heidegger’s claims to the “true” ontology revealed to him had pseudoethymological, pseudohistorical, and doubtful philosophical foundations. Heidegger’s pseudoethymological and pseudohistorical arguments are explained with his treatment of A. G. Baumgarten and I. Kant’s works. Doubtful philosophical foundations are defined with the impossibility of Heidegger’s fundamental ontology to claim to have a certain general significance or fundamentality in Aristotle and Kant's spirit, his anachronistic metascientist claims, personal taste, as well as a wish to ensure transcendental nature to existentials. As a result, the answer to the question is as follows: in a descriptive sense, there is “Heidegger’s fundamental ontology” while there is no fundamental ontology in general, and it has never existed – probably because of its impossibility.
Sumy’s media image (based on the material of the online edition “TSUKR”)
Authors: Chernysh Anna
Published: October 2024

Introduction. The media image of a city is determined by a set of mediatisation factors and a wide network of media that present it. The media image of a city is formed taking into account the city’s history, architecture, its “ knowability” by prominent figures, places, brands, business strategies, commercial component, and public opinion.
Relevance of the study. These components make it possible to conclude that the media play a major role in the life of an urban community. The analysis of the media content of regional media contributes to the formation of an idea of the image of the city as it appears to the recipients. The focus of scientific interest is the Sumy online publication “Tsukr”, which content is of interest for establishing a positive media image of the city of Sumy.
Methodology. The study used general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, systematisation and generalisation of material, content analysis, and some aspects of discursive and narrative methodology. The study is based on the principles of objectivity and academic integrity.
Results. The media significantly form the images of different spaces. Media technologies (video, online spaces, regional and national media outlets, various advertising campaigns, etc.) and an active process of digitalisation are used to create images of cities, towns, and communities. The process of city mediatisation allows us to focus on the key factors of city image formation, which are components of geocultural and urban image studies, among which the most important are regional print and online media, a developed system of television and radio communication, historical and cultural presentation of the city in the media environment, as well as active processes of media convergence. The article focuses on the content of the Tsukr publication, which informs about events within a specific locale/region/territory, is a common communication space for Sumy residents and a source of feedback between them.
Conclusions. The analysis of the content of the regional online publication “Tsukr” proves that it is one of the most influential media outlets in Sumy, which actively generates the image of a successful, economically strong, prosperous, cultural city.
