From information free-riding to information sharing: how have humans solved the cooperative dilemma at the heart of cumulative cultural evolution?
Authors: Mesoudi Alex , Jimenez Angel V , Jensen Keith , Chang Lei
Published: May 2024

Cumulative cultural evolution, where populations accumulate ever-improving knowledge, technologies and social customs, is arguably a unique feature of human sociality and responsible for our species’ ecological dominance of the planet. However, at the heart of cumulative cultural evolution is a cooperative dilemma. Assuming asocial learning is more costly than social learning, social learners can act as ‘information free-riders’ by copying innovations from asocial learners without paying the cost. This cost asymmetry will reduce innovation, inhibiting cumulative culture. Innovators might respond by protecting their knowledge and keeping the benefits to themselves – ‘information hoarding’ - but then others cannot build on their discoveries and again cumulative culture is inhibited. Here we formally model information free-riding and information hoarding within a cumulative cultural evolution framework using both analytical and agent-based models. Model 1 identifies the restrictive conditions under which information sharing can evolve in the face of information free-riding and hoarding. Models 2-4 then show how three mechanisms known to favour cooperation in non-informational contexts - kin selection, reputation-based partner choice and cultural group selection – can also solve the informational cooperative dilemma and facilitate cumulative cultural evolution, each with distinct signatures potentially detectable in historical, ethnographic and other empirical data.
"Upominanie się o strategię czytania" we współczesnym dyskursie humanistycznym (tropy, fragmenty, marginesy, cytaty, palimpsesty)
Authors: Reut Maria
Published: May 2024

In the text, the author refers to selected questions from Lech Witkowski’s book Uroszczenia i transaktualność w humanistyce. Florian Znaniecki: dziedzictwo idei i jego pęknięcia [Entitlements and Transtopicality in Humanities. Florian Znaniecki: the Legacy of Ideas and Cracks in It]. What is mainly characterised is the cognitive situation of “demanding a reading strategy” and searching for impulses to “prompt an awakening, a change of perspective.”
Floriana Znanieckiego kategoria porządku – nieporządku w odczytaniu Lecha Witkowskiego a dyskurs pedagogii instytucjonalnych
Authors: Marynowicz-Hetka Ewa
Published: May 2024

In her article, Ewa Marynowicz-Hetka responds to Lech Witkowski’s postulate, formulated in his monograph on Florian Znaniecki. Witkowski suggests searching for “between” connections in analysis, thus expressing the trans-topicality of Znaniecki’s work. Marynowicz-Hetka is interested in searching for temporal and spatial bridges, for ways of connecting space and historical time with our present moment. Her analysis in this article focuses on transversally outlined concepts and approaches to practical activity, as clearly expressed in the reception of Florian Znaniecki’s work. Their frameworks and analogies can be found in recent conceptions of order and disorder, important for the socio-pedagogical horizon of thinking. This insight, formulated in Lech Witkowski’s book, constitutes the central premise of this article, its considerations inspired by the insights that the category of chaos present in Znaniecki’s work requires an intense focus on the content and manner of speaking about the following triad: order – disorder/chaos – re-ordering/new order. This insight also justifies a revisiting of the issue of the scope of transformations and institutional movements essential to the understanding of practical activity.
Tropami Floriana Znanieckiego do radykalnych przemian systemów powszechnej edukacji
Authors: Kojs Wojciech
Published: May 2024

The paper presents a selected number of social and educational Florian Znaniecki’s footsteps that indicate a need for radical transformations in educational systems. The author of this paper hints at solutions to the pressing problems that should be sought in Jan Szczepański’s and Lech Witkowski’s suggestions. He also quotes his own assumptions that can be helpful in the design of educational solutions. Particularly, he indicates the possibilities to implement a diachronic-synchronic concept of radical structure-functional transformations in educational systems as well as Lech Witkowski’s theory of self-education.
Uroszczenia itransaktualność jako kategorie epistemologiczne. Inspiracje tropami Lecha Witkowskiego odkrytymi w pracach Floriana Znanieckiego

Autor podejmuje próbę rozwinięcia intuicji Lecha Witkowskiego wyrażonej w tytule jego monografii poświęconej odczytaniu dziedzictwa myśli Floriana Znanieckiego. Użyte przez niego w tytule kategorie uroszczeń i trans-actuality stara się eksplikować w różnych wymiarach epistemologicznych. Tekst stanowi zaproszenie do dyskusji o zasadności stosowania owej pary kategorialnej w studiach i badaniach z zakresu nauk humanistyczno-społecznych w XXI wieku.
Kłopotliwy, przenikliwy, współczesny – o czytaniu Floriana Znanieckiego z metodologią w tle. Głos w dyskusji o książce Lecha Witkowskiego „Uroszczenia i transaktualność w humanistyce"
Authors: Maliszewski Krzysztof
Published: May 2024

Krzysztof Maliszewski’s article is a voice in the debate over Lech Witkowski’s book Uroszczenia i transaktualność w humanistyce. Florian Znaniecki: dziedzictwo idei i jego pęknięcia [Entitlements and Transtopicality in the Humanities: Florian Znaniecki: Conceptual Legacy and Its Cracks] (Kraków 2022) and concerns strategies of reading the classics of the humanities and social sciences, while also addressing methodological problems related to these areas of research. Maliszewski’s reflection is carried out in three steps. First, on the example of Florian Znaniecki’s The Social Role of the University Student, he discusses both the predicament and the symbolic profit of reading Znaniecki, the eminent Polish philosopher and sociologist. Next, he points out the interpretative solutions offered by Witkowski in his reading of Znaniecki. Finally, he poses several questions in relation to Witkowski’s statements and their methodological implications.
IMPLEMENTATION OF MEDIA LITERACY AS A MEANS OF COUNTERING ENEMY PROPAGANDA
Authors: Korol Olena , Kornus Olesya , Kornus Anatoly , Danylchenko Olena , Nesterenko Oleksiy , Braslavska Oksana
Published: May 2024

The article reveals the essence and features of media literacy as a way of countering hostile propaganda. The study considered the main components of media literacy and analyzed its main principles. Informational threats in wartime and the peculiarities of propaganda were studied. Specific methods of countering propaganda and information manipulation have been studied.In connection with enemy propaganda, the introduction of media literacy as a means of countering enemy propaganda became very important during the Russian invasion. During the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine, russia has launched hundreds of thousands of fakes to demoralize and sow panic among Ukrainians. That is why today it is important to understand the mechanisms and means of enemy propaganda, to be able to recognize enemy information leaks inside and outside of Ukraine, in order to counteract fakes and manipulations, neutralize and debunk lies. Many media outlets ignore objective facts and use the latest technology and digital equipment to appeal to the emotions of viewers, craft messages and spread misinformation that misinforms people. In addition, russia is making every effort to discredit Ukrainians in the eyes of the international community and destroy social cohesion in the country. Informational aggression can be countered only when the population understands the principles by which events take place and for what purpose and what specific damage they can cause. In order to counteract enemy propaganda, it is necessary to apply critical thinking in order not to fall into the trap of pro-russian media and not to be misinformed. Even in wartime, teachers must not only show positive propaganda, but also bring back to children the knowledge of media and information literacy that they acquired before the war.
An Observation of Organizational Behaviour Differences Between White and Blue-Collar Transportation Roles
Authors: Beliveau Thomas
Published: May 2024

This project aims to provide a detailed overview and observation of the organizational behavioural differences found between on-site, blue-collar, and off-site, white-collar workers within the transportation industry. The observation will be drawn from personal experiences found between the two industries and the use of researched articles. The differences found will include studies of communication, delegation and autonomy, morale. and ethics between the two fields. The observations draw from my own experience as both a residential and commercial mover to contrast the behavioural differences between one industry to provide variabilities found within similar blue-collar roles, and my current role as an international freight forwarder, a white-collar position coordinating transportation in a global scope. Researched roles include a 10-ton linehaul truck driver and a trucking company dispatcher—both roles I am not directly familiar with to provide further insight beyond my experiences.

Evaluation of Wound Measurements Utilizing a Smartphone App - Imitomeasure for Wound Analysis
Authors: Chittoria Ravi Kumar
Published: May 2024

Various methods exist for measuring wound dimensions, including photography, comparison, ruler, or graph techniques1. With the advancement of current-generation smartphones equipped with high-quality built-in cameras, accessibility to such technology has become more widespread and affordable. Leveraging specific applications developed for these smartphones has provided numerous advantages in the medical field. One such software, Imitomeasure, has been designed to measure wound dimensions without direct contact with the wound site. Unlike traditional clinical measurements involving rulers or tape, Imitomeasure offers a non-contact approach, reducing the risk of infection transmission to the patient. The efficacy of Imitomeasure has been evaluated, revealing its effectiveness in wound dimension assessment. In this investigation, the dimensions of bedsores located over bilateral greater trochanteric regions and presacral region of a patient who was bed-ridden due to Parkinson disease were assessed using the Imitomeasure application on a smartphone.

CREATING A NATION WITH CLOTH
Authors: Addo Ping-Ann
Published: May 2024

Tongan women living outside of their island homeland create and use hand-made, sometimes hybridized, textiles to maintain and rework their cultural traditions in diaspora. Central to these traditions is an ancient concept of homeland or nation— fonua—which Tongans retain as an anchor for modern nation-building. Utilizing the concept of the “multi-territorial nation,” the author questions the notion that living in diaspora is mutually exclusive with authentic cultural production and identity. The globalized nation the women build through gifting their barkcloth and fine mats, challenges the normative idea that nations are always geographically bounded or spatially contiguous. The work suggests that, contrary to prevalent understandings of globalization, global resource flows do not always primarily involve commodities. Focusing on first-generation Tongans in New Zealand and the relationships they forge across generations and throughout the diaspora, the book examines how these communities centralize the diaspora by innovating and adapting traditional cultural forms in unprecedented ways.
FOODWAYS AND EMPATHY
Authors: von Poser Anita
Published: May 2024

Through the sharing of food, people feel entitled to inquire into one another’s lives and ponder one another’s states in relation to their foodways. This in-depth study focuses on the Bosmun of Daiden, a Ramu River people in an under-represented area in the ethnography of Papua New Guinea, uncovering the conceptual convergence of local notions of relatedness, foodways, and empathy. In weaving together discussions about paramount values as passed on through myth, the expression of feelings in daily life, and the bodily experience of social and physical environs, a life-world unfolds in which moral, emotional, and embodied foodways contribute notably to the creation of relationships. Concerned with unique processes of “making kin,” the book adds a distinct case to recent debates about relatedness and empathy and sheds new light onto the conventional anthropological themes of food production, sharing, and exchange.
BEDOUIN OF MOUNT SINAI
Authors: Marx Emanuel
Published: May 2024

The Sinai Peninsula links Asia and Africa and for millennia has been crossed by imperial armies from both the east and the west. Thus, its Bedouin inhabitants are by necessity involved in world affairs and maintain a complex, almost urban, economy. They make their home in arid mountains that provide limited pastures and lack arable soils and must derive much of their income from migrant labor and trade. Still, every household maintains, at considerable expense, a small orchard and a minute flock of goats and sheep. The orchards and flocks sustain them in times of need and become the core of a mutual assurance system. It is for this social security that Bedouin live in and retire to the mountains. Based on fieldwork over ten years, this book builds on the central theoretical understanding that the complex political economy of the Mount Sinai Bedouin is integrated into urban society and part of the modern global world.
EMPIRE, GLOBAL COLONIALITY AND AFRICAN SUBJECTIVITY
Authors: Ndlovu-Gatsheni Sabelo J.
Published: May 2024

Global imperial designs, which have been in place since conquest by western powers, did not suddenly evaporate after decolonization. Global coloniality as a leitmotif of the empire became the order of the day, with its invisible technologies of subjugation continuing to reproduce Africa’s subaltern position, a position characterized by perceived deficits ranging from a lack of civilization, a lack of writing and a lack of history to a lack of development, a lack of human rights and a lack of democracy. The author’s sharply critical perspective reveals how this epistemology of alterity has kept Africa ensnared within colonial matrices of power, serving to justify external interventions in African affairs, including the interference with liberation struggles and disregard for African positions. Evaluating the quality of African responses and available options, the author opens up a new horizon that includes cognitive justice and new humanism.
FRAGMENTED FATHERLAND
Authors: Clarkson Alexander
Published: May 2024

1945 to 1980 marks an extensive period of mass migration of students, refugees, ex-soldiers, and workers from an extraordinarily wide range of countries to West Germany. Turkish, Kurdish, and Italian groups have been studied extensively, and while this book uses these groups as points of comparison, it focuses on ethnic communities of varying social structures—from Spain, Iran, Ukraine, Greece, Croatia, and Algeria—and examines the interaction between immigrant networks and West German state institutions as well as the ways in which patterns of cooperation and conflict differ. This study demonstrates how the social consequences of mass immigration became intertwined with the ideological battles of Cold War Germany and how the political life and popular movements within these immigrant communities played a crucial role in shaping West German society.
THE DEMONS OF MODERNITY
Authors: Orr John
Published: May 2024

Ingmar Bergman’s films had a very broad and rich relationship with the rest of European cinema, contrary to the myth that Bergman was a peripheral figure, culturally and aesthetically isolated from the rest of Europe. This book contends that he should be put at the very center of European film history by chronologically comparing Bergman’s relationship to key European directors such as Carl Theodor Dreyer, Jean-Luc Godard, Michelangelo Antonioni, and Andrei Tarkovsky, and also looks at Bergman’s critical relationship to key movements in film history such as the French New Wave. In so doing, it demonstrates how Ingmar Bergman’s films illustrate the demonic struggle in modernity between faith and secularity through “his intense preoccupation with the malaise of intimacy.”
BITTERSWEET EUROPE
Authors: Brisku Adrian
Published: May 2024

From the late nineteenth century to the post-communist period, Albanian and Georgian political and intellectual elites have attributed hopes to “Europe,” yet have also exhibited ambivalent attitudes that do not appear likely to vanish any time soon. Albanians and Georgians have evoked, experienced, and continue to speak of “Europe” according to a tense triadic entity—geopolitics, progress, culture—which has generated aspirations as well as delusions towards it and themselves. This unique dichotomy weaves a nuanced, historical account of a changing Europe, continuously marred by uncertainties that greatly affect these countries’ domestic politics as well as foreign policy decisions. A systematic and rich account of how Albanians and Georgians view Europe, this book offers a fresh perspective on the vast East/West literature and, more broadly, on European intellectual, cultural, and political history.
A POLICY TRAVELOGUE
Authors: Kingfisher Catherine
Published: May 2024

An ethnography of the development and travel of the New Zealand model of neoliberal welfare reform, this study explores the social life of policy, which is one of process, motion, and change. Different actors, including not only policy élites but also providers and recipients, engage with it in light of their own resources and knowledge. Drawing on two analytic frameworks of the contemporary anthropology of policy—translation and assemblage—Kingfisher situates policy as an artifact and architect of cultural meaning, as well as a site of power struggles. All points of engagement with policy are approached as sites of policy production that serve to transform it as well as reproduce it. As such, A Policy Travelogue provides an antidote to theorizations of policy as a-cultural, rational, and straightforwardly technical.
THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
Authors: Gust Wolfgang
Published: May 2024

In 1915, the Armenians were exiled from their land, and in the process of deportation 1.5 million of them were killed. The 1915-1916 annihilation of the Armenians was the archetype of modern genocide, in which a state adopts a specific scheme geared to the destruction of an identifiable group of its own citizens. Official German diplomatic documents are of great importance in understanding the genocide, as only Germany had the right to report day-by-day in secret code about the ongoing genocide. The motives, methods, and after-effects of the Armenian Genocide echoed strongly in subsequent cases of state-sponsored genocide. Studying the factors that went into the Armenian Genocide not only gives us an understanding of historical genocide, but also provides us with crucial information for the anticipation and possible prevention of future genocides.
DANCE CIRCLES
Authors: Neveu Kringelbach Hélène
Published: May 2024

Senegal has played a central role in contemporary dance due to its rich performing traditions, as well as strong state patronage of the arts, first under French colonialism and later in the postcolonial era. In the 1980s, when the Senegalese economy was in decline and state fundingwithdrawn, European agencies used the performing arts as a tool in diplomacy. This had a profound impact on choreographic production and arts markets throughout Africa. In Senegal, choreographic performers have taken to contemporary dance, while continuing to engage with neo-traditional performance, regional genres like the sabar, and the popular dances they grew up with. A historically informed ethnography of creativity, agency, and the fashioning of selves through the different life stages in urban Senegal, this book explores the significance of this multiple engagement with dance in a context of economic uncertainty and rising concerns over morality in the public space.
VARIATIONS ON UZBEK IDENTITY
Authors: Finke Peter
Published: May 2024

Throughout its history the concept of “Uzbekness,” or more generally of a Turkic-speaking sedentary population, has continuously attracted members of other groups to join, as being Uzbek promises opportunities to enlarge ones social network. Accession is comparatively easy, as Uzbekness is grounded in a cultural model of territoriality, rather than genealogy, as the basis for social attachments. It acknowledges regional variation and the possibility of membership by voluntary decision. Therefore, the boundaries of being Uzbek vary almost by definition, incorporating elements of local languages, cultural patterns and social organization. This book combines an historical analysis with thorough ethnographic field research, looking at differences in the conceptualization of group boundaries and the social practices they entail. It does so by analysing decision-making processes by Uzbeks on the individual as well as cognitive level and the political configurations that surround them.
LEARNING SENEGALESE SABAR
Authors: Bizas Eleni
Published: May 2024

Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork in New York and Dakar, this book explores the Senegalese dance-rhythms Sabar from the research position of a dance student. It features a comparative analysis of the pedagogical techniques used in dance classes in New York and Dakar, which in turn shed light on different aesthetics and understandings of dance, as well as different ways of learning, in each context. Pointing to a loose network of teachers and students who travel between New York and Dakar around the practice of West African dance forms, the author discusses how this movement is maintained, what role the imagination plays in mobilizing participants and how the ‘cultural flow’ of the dances is ‘punctuated’ by national borders and socio-economic relationships. She explores the different meanings articulated around Sabar’s transatlantic movement and examines how the dance floor provides the grounds for contested understandings, socio-economic relationships and broader discourses to be re-choreographed in each setting.
THE RISE OF MARKET SOCIETY IN ENGLAND, 1066-1800
Authors: Eisenberg Christiane
Published: May 2024

Focusing on England, this study reconstructs the centuries-long process of commercialization that gave birth to the modern market society. It shows how certain types of markets (e.g. those for real estate, labor, capital, and culture) came into being, and how the social relations mediated by markets were formed. The book deals with the creation of institutions like the Bank of England, the Stock Exchange, and Lloyd’s of London, as well as the way the English dealt with the uncertainty and the risks involved in market transactions. Christiane Eisenberg shows that the creation of a market society and modern capitalism in England occurred under circumstances that were utterly different from those on the European continent. In addition, she demonstrates that as a process, the commercialization of business, society, and culture in England did not lead directly to an industrial society, as has previously been suggested, but rather to a service economy.
NARRATING VICTIMHOOD
Authors: Schäuble Michaela
Published: May 2024

Mythologies and narratives of victimization pervade contemporary Croatia, set against the backdrop of militarized notions of masculinity and the political mobilization of religion and nationhood. Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork in rural Dalmatia in the Croatian-Bosnian border region, this book provides a unique account of the politics of ambiguous Europeanness from the perspective of those living at Europe’s margins. Examining phenomena such as Marian apparitions, a historic knights tournament, the symbolic re-signification of a massacre site, and the desolate social situation of Croatian war veterans, Narrating Victimhood traces the complex mechanisms of political radicalization in a post-war scenario. This book provides a new perspective for understanding the ongoing processes of transformation in Southeastern Europe and the Balkans.
THE PATH TO THE BERLIN WALL
Authors: Wilke Manfred
Published: May 2024

The long path to the Berlin Wall began in 1945, when Josef Stalin instructed the Communist Party to take power in the Soviet occupation zone while the three Western allies secured their areas of influence. When Germany was split into separate states in 1949, Berlin remained divided into four sectors, with West Berlin surrounded by the GDR but lingering as a captivating showcase for Western values and goods. Following a failed Soviet attempt to expel the allies from West Berlin with a blockade in 1948–49, a second crisis ensued from 1958–61, during which the Soviet Union demanded once and for all the withdrawal of the Western powers and the transition of West Berlin to a “Free City.” Ultimately Nikita Khrushchev decided to close the border in hopes of halting the overwhelming exodus of East Germans into the West. Tracing this path from a German perspective, Manfred Wilke draws on recently published conversations between Khrushchev and Walter Ulbricht, head of the East German state, in order to reconstruct the coordination process between these two leaders and the events that led to building the Berlin Wall.
ARAB SPRING
Authors: Fosshagen Kjetil
Published: May 2024

The events of the Arab Spring presented a dramatic reconstitution of politics and the public sphere through their aesthetic and performative uses of public space. Mass demonstrations have become a new global political form, grounded in the localization of globalizing processes, institutions, and relationships. This volume delves beneath the seemingly chaotic nature of events to explore the structural dynamics underpinning popular resistance and their support or suppression. It moves beyond what has usually been defined as Arab Spring nations to include critical views on Bahrain, the Palestinian territories, and Turkey. The research and analysis presented explores not just the immediate protests, but also the historical realization, appropriation, and even institutionalization of these critical voices, as well as the role of international criminal law and legal exceptionalism in authorizing humanitarian interventions. Above all, it questions whether the revolutions have since been hijacked and the broad popular uprisings already overrun, suppressed, or usurped by the upper classes.
A MIXED METHOD APPROACH IN GRAMMAR TEACHING (BUKOVYNA, THE FIRST HALF OF THE XX CENTURY)
Authors: HOMENIUK Olha , KOLISNYCHENKO Tetiana
Published: May 2024

The unique aspect of studying other languages is not only the acquisition of basic information, but also the development of communicative competency abilities, which are practical skills required in everyday practice or communication with representatives of foreign-speaking societies.
Our present research focuses on the devlopment and implementation of a mixed method of learning for teaching grammatical material in English and German in Bukovyna schools during the first half of the twentieth century.
The purpose of our research is to compare the prerequisites for the development and formation of the methodology of teaching English and German grammatical competence in Bukovyna schools between 1932 and 1940, as well as to reveal the peculiarities of the formation of reproductive and receptive grammatical skills in the specified territory and within the defined time for further study of listening, reading, and speaking. Consequently, instructional tactics demonstrated the right selection and organization limits.
The development of fundamental grammar abilities is seen as critical in teaching foreign language grammar, since it serves as a foundation of grammatical information.
The explanation of grammatical phenomena in German and English was given in the original language, supported by examples from the texts, and strengthened by the completion of exercises. The structure of the grammar appendices, which included extra exercises to reinforce grammatical constructions and the authors' personal explanations of the textbooks in addition to rules and tables, also made a difference in the way the grammatical material of the languages mentioned was taught. The most recent strategy in textbooks at the time was to promote communicating with native speakers (for example, via correspondence), which improved grammatical and lexical mastery of a foreign language.
It came to light that acquiring grammatical content using a mixed technique was an approach for producing grammatically and lexically correct spoken speech. Practical application (speaking) demonstrates comprehension of the fundamental principles of grammar and their proper application. Authentic literary reading was essential for developing grammatical knowledge. Translation exercises examined different languages' grammatical structures, with the goal of improving the capacity to use them in context and accurately acquire them when speaking.
THE TRANSLATOR’S SENSIBILITY IN MAKING SENSE OUT OF TEXTS
Authors: NAYDAN Michael M.
Published: May 2024

The role of a translator in rendering literary texts is often underestimated, yet it is crucial in reshaping the essence of the original work into a new linguistic and cultural context. This article delves into the intricate realm of the translator’s sensibility, emphasizing the translator’s pivotal position as not merely a conduit but as a co-author, a collaborator in the recreation of the source text in the target language. This collaborative effort demands a profound understanding of both the source and target cultures, as well as a keen sensitivity to nuances of language and expression.
Central to this discussion is the notion of the translator’s visibility, a concept illuminated by Lawrence Venuti’s seminal work on translation theory. While traditional views often advocate for the translator’s invisibility, this article challenges that perspective, arguing for a recognition of the translator’s creative agency and presence in the translated text.
Examining translations of iconic works such as Mykola Hohol’s "Taras Bulba" and J.K. Rowling’s "Harry Potter," alongside the author’s own experiences in selecting and translating texts, provides a rich tapestry of insights into the complexities of the translation process. Through the lens of these diverse works, including poetry by Lina Kostenko, Yuri Andrukhovych’s novel "Perverzion," and Hryhoriy Kvitka-Osnovyanko’s "The Witch of Konotop," the article elucidates the intricate interplay between the translator's personal sensibilities and the demands of the text. foregrounding the translator's role as a co-creator, this article invites a reevaluation of the translation process, recognizing it not as a mere act of linguistic conversion, but as a dynamic and creative endeavor shaped by the unique sensibilities and artistic vision of the translator. In doing so, it sheds light on the transformative power of translation in bridging cultures and enriching literary landscapes
EMOTIONS THROUGH THE PRISM OF GERMAN PAREMIES
Authors: ROMANOVA Nataliia
Published: May 2024

The article explores the concept of human emotions as a dynamic, systemic, socio-psychological phenomenon with distinct linguistic-cultural specificity and national characteristics. The choice of this research topic is driven by a perceived spiritual crisis affecting humanity in general, and the German ethnic group in particular, as well as by an anthropocentric approach to contemporary linguistic issues. The German language is seen as peripheral in many research contexts. The hypothesis underpinning this study suggests that a spiritual crisis is linked to a lack of inner harmony, arising from cognitive dissonance. From a theoretical perspective, cognitive dissonance should encourage individuals to engage in cognitive processes, enhancing their understanding of the world and their place within it. This process includes critical examination of received information and validation of its truth. Discomfort caused by mental dissonance can be resolved by changing behaviors or beliefs, controlling emotions, revising values or conflicting ideas, or increasing emotogenic knowledge.The article emphasizes that the definition of emotion remains open-ended, with its interpretation often tied to specific philosophical teachings, biological, somatic, psychological, cognitive, eclectic, or linguistic theories. The primary objective of the study is to establish a paradigm of the most typical emotions experienced by the German people over many centuries, as evidenced by paremias (proverbial expressions). Emotions that are codified in texts more than three times are identified as typical. Despite significant contributions from philosophers, psychologists, ethnographers, historians, sociologists, linguists, and philologists to the study of emotions, many aspects remain unresolved, particularly with respect to emotions in texts and paremias. Through this research, the concepts of "emotion," "emotion in text," and "emotion in paremia" are clarified. The study also provides a brief overview of the German way of life during the 8th to 18th centuries, offering examples of explicit and implicit emotions, as well as their variants. Additionally, emotional patterns and their variations are examined, distinguishing positive, neutral, negative, and undefined emotions based on semantic features. Ultimately, the article confirms the idea that there is a relationship between emotions and the cultural and spiritual experiences of an ethnic group.
DIFFICULTIES OF LITERARY TRANSLATION: TRANSLATION STRATEGIES AND SOLUTIONS
(based on the translation of Harlan Coben's “The Match”)
Authors: BIALYK Vasyl , MELNYCHUK Yuriy , SOROCHAN Oleksandr
Published: May 2024

This article explores the intricacies of literary translation and the strategies utilized in translating the lexical content of Harlan Coben's novel "The Match" into Ukrainian. The focus is primarily on phonetic, lexical-grammatical, and lexical-semantic aspects of the translation process. The study aims to uncover the techniques and transformations translators employ to reproduce the English text in Ukrainian while ensuring adequacy and fidelity to the source material.
The research uses the exhaustive selection of lexical units to analyze translation transformations, alongside a review of scholarly translation and the various approaches to perspectives on the complexities of literary transferring text from one language to another. Descriptive methods and analysis of translation transformations were applied to study Harlan Coben's unique idiolect in detail.
The results revealed that at the lexical level, transcription (61%) and transliteration (39%) were the predominant techniques for rendering proper names. In the lexical-semantic domain, modulation (73%) and differentiation (27%) were found to be the most commonly used methods, whereas in the lexical-grammatical area, transposition (93%) was the leading strategy.
The study suggests that the most frequently employed translation methods in the examined Ukrainian translation of "The Match" are transcription, modulation, and transposition. The article provides translation variants for lexical units from the novel to ensure maximum adequacy in conveying the original content within the target language's cultural and linguistic framework.
By expanding on the content of the article, the research offers a deeper understanding of the translation process, the challenges translators face, and the strategies they use to render a literary work from English to Ukrainian. It underscores the importance of maintaining fidelity to the original text while ensuring that the translation aligns with the linguistic and cultural context of the target audience.

Predicting learning success: research problems
and challenges
Authors: Kustitskaya T. A. , Noskov M. V. , Vainshtein Y. V.
Published: May 2024

The article is devoted to the problems of learning success prediction. The aim of the
work is to discuss current tasks and possible difficulties related to the development of services
for predicting learning success in the digital environment of an educational institution. Among
the variety of forecasting tasks arising in educational analytics, two main directions were
identified and examined in detail: prediction of student dropout and prediction of academic
performance for courses of the curriculum. The article discusses examples of creating and
using predictive models in the educational process by secondary and higher education
organizations. It is noted that despite the large number of studies in this problem field, there
are only few examples of successfully implemented regional or at least organizational-level
forecasting systems. The authors believe that the main obstacles to building a well-scalable
system for supporting learning success based on predictive models are difficulties with data
unification, lack of policy of using personal data in learning analytics, lack of feedback

Authors:   Russian Gnesin’s Academy of Music, Danilova Olga
Published: May 2024

The article is devoted to the peculiarities of O. K. Eiges’ style on the example of piano sonatas. The work reveals the origins of the composer’s work – the influence of K. R. Eiges and the Russian piano school, first of all A. N. Scriabin, N. K. Medtner and S. S. Prokofiev; internship in Europe and the impact of European culture; peculiarities of folklore implementation. Attention is paid to the commonality of aesthetic positions and artistic principles of O. K. Eiges and N. K. Medtner. It is noted that the originality of Eiges’ artistic style lies in relying on the traditions of the masters of the past and the modern composer’s language. The author examines such features of his “handwriting” as the originality of the figurative sphere and drama, symphonicity, polyphony, continuous development, high concentration of thematism and genre themes, block structure of the form, the form of the “second plan”, thematic “arches”, the specifics of the organization of sections of the form, features of the harmonic language, textures, bell-ringing, virtuosity, graphicity, phonocoloristic effects. The issue of “stylistic dialogue” with Prokofiev is touched upon in some works. The article highlights Eiges’ performing style as a guideline for mastering his sonatas. The question of the value of the composer’s legacy in the aspect of educational and pedagogical work is raised.

У статті вивчено можливість удосконалення технології вафельних виробів власного виробництва на прикладі м’яких вафель задля розширення асортименту борошняних кондитерських виробів підвищеної харчової цінності в меню закладів ресторанного господарства. Метою роботи є розширення асортименту продукції на основі вафельного тіста в меню, а саме м’яких вафель покращеної якості шляхом: використання суміші пшеничного борошна цільнозернового, борошна знежиреного з насіння чіа, чаю матча, пюре з гарбуза; вивчення впливу зазначених добавок на показники якості готових виробів. Для вивчення структурно-механічних і фізико-хімічних показників якості виробів використовували стандартні методи досліджень. У статті опрацьовано наукові роботи вітчизняних і зарубіжних учених, наведений літературний огляд по темі дослідження. Показані напрями збагачення виробів на основі вафельного тіста і доцільність використання борошна пшеничного цільнозернового, чаю матча, борошна знежиреного з насіння чіа і гарбузового пюре в технологіях хлібобулочних, борошняних кондитерських і кулінарних виробів. Описано технологію м’яких вафель із зазначеними добавками. Досліджено показники якості вхідної сировини. Запропоновано модельні системи, згідно яких проведені дослідження. Встановлено, що зразок № 4, який містить 80 % борошна пшеничного цільнозернового, 19 % борошна знежиреного з насіння чіа, 1 % чаю матча згідно модельної системи № 1, відрізняється найкращими органолептичними показниками якості: вироби з добавками добре пропечені, без ущільнень, мають правильну форму, яка відповідає формі виробу, без підгорілої поверхні, присмак гарбузового пюре і трав’яний аромат. Відомо, що вафельні вироби в своєму складі містять значну кількість жиру. Обґрунтовано внесення пюре з гарбуза до рецептури м’яких вафель на заміну жирового компонента рецептури. Отримані результати показали, що зразок, який містить по рецептурі 20 % пюре з гарбуза на заміну вершкового масла має найкращі показники якості: виріб зберігає рівномірну пористу структуру м’якуша і правильну чітку форму. Подальшим напрямком досліджень є обґрунтування використання різних видів рослинної сировини підвищеної харчової цінності в технологіях борошняних кондитерських і кулінарних виробів з метою розширення сегменту продукції власного виробництва в меню закладу.
