This study investigates whether the S-Five multidimensional model for the misophonic experience identified in samples of English-speaking individuals, were valid in participants from an Asian population. The five dimensions (internalising appraisals, externalising appraisals, perceived threat and avoidance behaviour, outbursts, and impact on functioning) were replicated in the responses of 256 Chinese individuals, indicating the cross-cultural uniformity of the experience of misophonia as captured by the S-Five. That is, current results point to the stability of the manifestation of misophonia across cultures, seen here for the first time in the literature.By design, the S-Five items were developed to reflect sound sensitivities in a manner that is not specific or matching to individuals of a certain age, gender, ethnicity, nationality, socio-economic status, and educational level. Testimonial to this fact is not only the replication of the five factors, but also the replication of the evidence towards satisfactory psychometric properties (reliability and validity) of the scale. The S-Five is a psychometrically robust tool to be used to Mandarin speaking samples.
preprint_Moral Foundations Questionnaire and Moral Foundations Sacredness Scale. Assessing the factorial structure
Authors: De Buck Ann , Pauwels Lieven
Published: April 2022

Moral Foundations Questionnaire (MFQ) and Moral Foundations Sacredness Scale (MFSS) have been proposed to advance conceptualizations of morality. This study assesses the factor structure of the Dutch translations. The five-factor model posited by Moral Foundations Theory is compared against alternative models of morality. Correlational analyses are performed among and between the best fitting models. A multi-group confirmatory factor analysis of the optimal model is tested across gender. Data are taken from an online survey in a students’ sample (N=1496). Results suggest that the Dutch translation of the MFQ (short version) does not converge on the proposed five-factor model. Conversely, MFSS subscales show good model fit, but intercorrelations among the subscales are high. Weak invariance is retained for MFSS but not for MFQ. Both self-reports are complementary measures to conceptualize five moral intuitions. More cross-national and cross-cultural validation studies are needed to develop sound measurement tools. To achieve good measurement, researchers should use the MFQ long version.
A Systematic Evaluation of Text Mining Methods for Short Texts: Mapping Individuals’ Internal States from Online Posts
Authors: Macanovic Ana , Przepiorka Wojtek
Published: April 2022

Short texts generated by individuals in online environments can provide social and behavioral scientists with rich insights into these individuals’ internal states. Trained manual coders can reliably interpret expressions of such internal states in text. However, manual coding imposes restrictions on the number of texts that can be analyzed, limiting our ability to extract insights from large-scale textual data. We evaluate the performance of several automatic text analysis methods in approximating trained human coders’ evaluations across four coding tasks encompassing expressions of motives, norms, emotions, and stances. Our findings suggest that commonly used dictionaries, although performing well in identifying infrequent categories, generate false positives too frequently compared to other methods. We show that large language models trained on manually coded data yield the highest performance across all case studies. However, there are also instances where simpler methods show almost equal performance. Additionally, we evaluate the effectiveness of cutting-edge generative language models like GPT-4 in coding texts for internal states with the help of short instructions (so-called zero-shot classification). While promising, these models fall short of the performance of models trained on manually analyzed data. We discuss the strengths and weaknesses of various models and explore the trade-offs between model complexity and performance in different applications. Our work informs social and behavioral scientists of the challenges associated with text mining of large textual datasets while providing best-practice recommendations.
Why and How Do Parents Decide to Adopt? A Study on Motivations and the Decision-Making Process in Becoming an Adoptive Family
Authors: Soares Joana Lara , Ralha Sara , Fonseca Sílvia M. , Prego Joana , Barbosa-Ducharne Maria
Published: April 2022

There are several motives underlying the process of deciding to become an adoptive family. However, research exploring this issue is scarce and essentially focused on infertility as the main motivation. The present mixed-method study aims to fill in this gap by exploring the motives to adopt of 126 Portuguese adoptive parents. The Parents’ Interview on the Adoption Process was used to identify the motives to adopt and describe the adoption decision-making process. Seven main motives (biological issues, filling in a void/loneliness, adoption as a life project, expanding the family, philanthropy, contact with the child protection system and parenthood) were identified. These motives can be centred on the self, the child or both simultaneously and are characterized by dynamism, permeability, and interconnection. Findings allowed for establishing conceptual considerations on motivations to adopt and recommendations for adoption practice.

Published: April 2022

Stunting or poor linear growth affects about 25% of children under five globally. Poor linear growth may occur due to lack of nutrients or due to hormonal influences. This study has investigated the relationship between maternal stature, household socio-economic status and linear growth among children below two years of age visiting the immunization clinic at an urban tertiary hospital in Kathmandu, Nepal. An observational cross-sectional analytical study was carried out through a face-to-face interview of mothers with a pretested standardized proforma. Anthropometric measurement of mother and child dyads was carried out to assess the nutritional status. Nutritional anthropometry tool in Epi-Info version 7.2.0.2 was used to calculate height-for-age z-scores (HAZ) based on the WHO 2007 reference data. A cut-off of –2 z-scores was used to define stunting (<-2HAZ). Linear regression was used to study the correlation between maternal anthropometric indices and HAZ scores. Univariate logistic regression was used to assess potential predictors. Among 396 mother-child dyads, with 186 female children, the prevalence of low birth weight was 7% (95% CL: 5.1% to 10.3%) and stunting was 4.5% (95% CL: 2.9 to 7.0). Proportion of mothers with short stature (<145 cm) was 7.5% (95% CL: 5.3% to 10.5%). Maternal height had a higher correlation with HAZ in comparison to weight (r 0.24, P<0.0001 vs 0.09, P=0.04). The mean HAZ score among infants (<6 months) was 1.25, 0.22 among those aged 6-11 months and -0.15 among those 12 months and above. Preterm birth (P=0.03), low birthweight (P<0.001) and being underweight (P=0.001) were associated with stunting. Though a low prevalence of stunting was seen, the downward shift in HAZ indicated a deficit in linear growth at the population level. This reflected the utility of HAZ as a population level marker for child undernutrition. As the prevalence of stunting among under-five children has continued to decline in Nepal, eliminating the downward shift in linear growth among under-two children can be prioritized. Potential areas of research include identification of appropriate cut-offs for maternal short stature and exploration of the epidemiological association between ponderal and linear growth among children in the local context. A consistent access to care during the antenatal period, child delivery and improved child feeding practices may have helped to improve the nutritional status among the under-two children. Assessment of linear growth along with weight gain needs to be emphasized during growth monitoring.

Published: April 2022

Oral cancer is one of the most common health dilemmas in several countries of the world. General dental practitioners and medical practitioners play a major role in the recognition of oral mucosal changes that may lead to malignancy. Knowledge, attitude, opinion, skill, and practice of oral cancer among dental and medical students play a pivotal role in cancer prevention, early detection, and management. A comparative study was conducted using pre-structured close ended questionnaires which was aimed to compare the level of adequacy of knowledge, attitude, and diagnostic ability about oral cancer among undergraduate dental and medical students at Nepal Medical College. Out of a total of 210 participants, 54 (35.1%) dental and 100 (64.9%) medical students responded. The result revealed more than 90% of the participants had adequacy in knowledge and attitude and would refer the cases to the specialists. Only 24.1% dental and 65.0% medical students had performed biopsy and cytology. Statistically significant association between adequacy of diagnostic ability and type of study field (p-value <0.001) was found in the study. The overall knowledge and attitude score were found adequate for both medical and dental students, while the diagnostic ability score were inadequate for both the groups. Therefore, this study suggests a need for revision in the curriculum with individual opportunity to interact with oral cancer patients and mandatory continuing education program especially on diagnosis of oral cancer for undergraduate dental and medical students.

Published: April 2022

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is being increasingly recognized as one of the major causes of chronic liver disease. It is associated with various metabolic condition including obesity and diabetes. As the incidence of diabetes and obesity is increasing every day due to change in lifestyle, the incidence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is also increasing and so does its related chronic liver disease. Doppler ultrasound is easily available, noninvasive modality to see the hemodynamics of portal vein in various diffuse liver diseases. Our objective in our study is to show the correlation between the nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and Doppler findings of portal vein. The study was conducted in Department of Radiology of College of medical sciences, Bharatpur. Total 70 participants with in group of 30-60 years were included in our study (50 patients with fatty liver disease and 20 with normal liver parenchyma). All ultrasound examination performed with the Toshiba Aplio 500 with convex array deep probe of frequency 3.5MHZ. Prospective cross-sectional study was conducted over the period of one year between September 2020 to August 2021. The mean age of our patients with fatty liver was 42.1 ± 8.4 years, mean BMI was 30.6 ± 3.6 similarly mean V_min and V_max of portal vein is 20.0 ± 7.7cm/s and 24.6 ± 7.4cm/s respectively. Same way the control group without fatty liver had 40.6 ± 9.7 years mean age, 23.55 ± 4.8cm/s mean BMI, 30.05 ± 5.1cm/s mean V_min and 34 ± 5.0cm/s mean V_max. There is statistically significant difference of mean BMI (p<0.001), Minimum Portal Vein Velocity (p<0.001) and Maximum Portal Vein Velocity (p<0.001) among the patients having fatty liver disease and not having fatty liver. Our findings suggest that patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver have lower portal venous velocities than normal healthy study participants.

The pancreas is an important exocrine and endocrine gland in the human body located in the upper abdomen. A great deal of information about the pancreas can be obtained on multi-detector computerized tomography (MDCT), including the exact location of the lesion, characterization and relation to the surrounding structures. The present study was done to evaluate the spectrum of pathologies of pancreas visualized on MDCT. A cross-sectional single center study was conducted from November 2018 to January 2020. Patients who were diagnosed with pancreatic pathology of all etiologies and satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria were invited to participate in the study. CT examination of the abdomen was typically performed using neutral oral contrast and non-ionic low osmolar iodinated intravenous contrast agent. Abdominal CT images were evaluated as per the standard reporting pattern and the images of pancreas were analyzed. In our study out of 33 patients, 25 patients were male and eight were female patients. Most of the patients belonged to the age group of 40-50 years. Among the various lesions diagnosed on MDCT inflammatory lesions were most common accounting for 60.6% of the cases, followed by tumors (33.3%), and congenital lesions (6.1%). MDCT is a very useful investigation to diagnose various pancreatic pathologies. Predominant pathologies diagnosed were inflammatory lesions (pancreatitis) followed by neoplasms.

Originality, Imitation, and Re-indigenization: Kuiba: Z (2011) as a Culturally Hybrid Animated Film
Authors: Chen Shaopeng , Ji Yilun
Published: April 2022

Le présent article analyse Kuiba : Z (Wang Chuan, 2011), un long métrage d’animation chinois en 2D, dessiné à la main, et premier volet de la série d’aventures Kuiba, déclinable en cinq parties. Au cours des deux dernières décennies, la question de l’originalité a taraudé les esprits dans le milieu du cinéma d’animation chinois, et Kuiba : Z ne fait pas exception. Bien que les personnages de Kuiba : Z présentent de nombreuses similitudes avec leurs homologues japonais dans les mangas et les dessins animés pour jeunes garçons, en ce qui concerne la composition visuelle et la personnalité, ces similarités ne signifient pas que Kuiba : Z constitue une imitation du cinéma d’animation japonais. Cet article soutient que Kuiba : Z représente plutôt une œuvre culturellement hybride, à cheval entre les approches chinoises et japonaises de l’animation dans le contexte du mouvement de ré-indigénisation de la production d’animation chinoise. Ce film est emblématique de l’application de l’iconographie chinoise traditionnelle et moderne, en particulier dans sa construction du monde imaginaire de Yuan Yang.

Published: April 2022

Since their formal proposal in 2010, various studies have been carried out on altmetrics from different perspectives and at different levels. However, the problem of the country-specific differences found in such studies has not been addressed in depth and considering the wide range of social media sources. This paper presents a cross-country comparison of altmetric coverage between Spain and a selection of 16 countries (EU-15 and the United States) in 22 research fields. All Spanish publications indexed in Web of Science that were published between 2016 and 2020, as well as all mentions of their altmetrics collected on Altmetric.com, were retrieved. The results show that, of the 434,827 Spanish publications considered, 55% are found on Altmetric.com. General altmetric coverage in Spain is similar to that in the rest of Europe and the United States, but it is in areas such as Arts & Humanities and Social Sciences where the lowest levels of coverage are found, although in the case of the latter the publications receive a higher number of mentions. Spanish publications reach a total of 3,569,553 mentions from different social media platforms, but Twitter is the main source of these mentions, accounting for 89%. Differences between research fields are also found, such as Environment & Ecology receiving a higher number of policy mentions.
DEDE KORKUT’TAKİ BASAT

Oldukça gelişmiş ve zengin bir geleneğe sahip olan Türk halk edebiyatı içerisinde destanların önemli bir yeri vardır. Türk Dünyası, zengin Türk tarihinin bir yansıması olarak destanlarla doludur. Dede Korkut Destanları, Türk tarihi, coğrafyası, dili, edebiyatı, kültürü, sanatı ve daha birçok konu hakkında önemli bilgiler içermektedir. Dede Korkut’ta birçok kişi adı geçmektedir. Bunlardan biri Basat’tır. Basat’ın adı Dede Korkut Kitabı’nda iki boyda geçmektedir. Basat Tepegöz’ü Öldürdüğü Boy’un başkahramanı Basat’tır. Bu boyda kendisine önemli bir yer verilmiştir. Basat tipi Oğuzların/Türklerin binlerce yıllık gelişim sürecinin bir yansımasıdır. Oğuzların/Türklerin doğa ile içli dışlı yaşadıkları mitolojik dönem, yavaş yavaş medeniyete geçişleri ve medeniyet kurdukları dönem Basat tipine yansımıştır. Dede Korkut’ta önemli bir yere sahip olan Basat tipinde en eskisi tarihin derinliklerine uzanan birçok tarihi-destani-efsanevi-mitolojik tabaka bulunmaktadır. Basat Tepegöz’ü Öldürdüğü Boy ile Duha Koca Oğlu Deli Dumrul Boyu, Dede Korkut’taki tarihi en eski anlatılardır. Bu iki anlatının kökeni mitolojik olup, mitolojiye ve inanışlara dayanmaktadır. Ancak tarihi süreç içerisinde, Türk tarihine paralel olarak, bir destanlaşma ve tarihileşme sürecine girmiş, kısmen tarihi kahramanları da bünyesine katarak, büyük oranda mitolojik, kısmen destani-tarihi bir görünüm kazanmışlardır. Türkler arasında eskiden beri mevcut olan Arslan Çocuk Hikâyesi, Gök-Türk dönemiyle birlikte Türkler arasında eskiden beri mevcut olan Tepegöz Hikâyesi ile kaynaşmış, tarihi unsurları da bünyesine katmış, böylece Basat Tepegöz’ü Öldürdüğü Boy ortaya çıkmıştır. Türk Dünyası’nın birçok bölgesinde ve başka milletlerde bu anlatıların kaynaşmadığı farklı varyantları da bulunmaktadır. Bu makalede, Dede Korkut’taki Basat; adı, ailesi, tarihteki, Dede Korkut’taki ve destanlardaki yeri incelenmiştir.

Published: April 2022

Training and coaching water polo players requires systematic and continuous work throughout the year. Given the specifics of water polo as a water sports game, in addition to training various elements of technique, tactics, and theory of the game, in the training process, special attention is paid to training specific locomotor movements in the water, as well as the development of all psychomotor abilities that stand out in that game. The sample of respondents includes 80 water polo players from Water Polo Clubs in Sarajevo, and all respondents are active members of water polo clubs. The test included a sample of 80 water polo players, registered in BiH clubs. To determine the level of basic motor skills, the following tests were used: Mechanism for structuring movement: agility in the air, hand tapping, foot tapping. Mechanism of synergistic regulation and regulation of tone: deep inclination on the bench, inclination with reaching in the seat, transverse standing on the beam. Mechanism of regulation of excitation intensity: running at 20m with flying start, triple jump from the starting point, long jump from the starting point. Mechanism of regulation of excitation duration: endurance in the joint, torso lift in 30 seconds, push-ups. In a sample of variables to assess the performance of technical elements of shooting on goal in a water polo game, shot accuracy tests were used: shooting from the left wing from a static position from 6 meters, shooting from the center from a static position from 6 meters, shooting from the right-wing from a static position from 6 meters. By analyzing the influence of individual motor variables, it can be seen that the largest and statistically significant influence on the criterion variable has a variable GRED - transverse standing on beams at levels up to .05. It can be concluded that without good coordination, there is no efficiency in the technical elements of a goal shot.

Sulfur-Incorporated Nickel-Iron Layered Double Hydroxides for Effective Oxygen Evolution Reaction in Seawater
Authors: Jung Sun Young , Han HyukSu
Published: April 2022

Given the abundance of water on the surface of the Earth, water splitting using seawater may be an effective solution to the future energy crisis. However, oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts require several specific characteristics to be used in seawater electrolysis, such as high catalytic activity, selectivity, and resistivity against chlorine corrosion. This paper reports that sulfur incorporation into nickel– iron layered double hydroxide (NiFe-LDH-S) can fulfill the abovementioned requirements for seawater oxidation. Sulfidation was performed on NiFe-LDH nanosheets homogeneously grown on a porous carbon scaffold via a facile chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. The best NiFe-LDH-S sample demonstrated excellent catalytic activity with a high corrosion resistance for seawater oxidation.
Introduction
Authors: Thelen Tatjana , Lammer Christof
Published: April 2022

Widespread procedures to measure what is taken to be kinship condition negotiations of various forms of belonging (family, ethnicity, nation, race, and even humanity). Kinship measurements require indicators, evidence, and persuasive display to become institutionalized. This introduction shows these measurements’ generative force, which enables their translation into differentiated access to resources. Kinship measurements pull together different and sometimes contrasting ideas, practices, and materialities. Different measurements can add up, mutually reinforcing each other, and reach thresholds for inclusion or exclusion. Yet most often they remain contested, produce gradual results, and do not achieve closure. Grouping them together as assessments of closeness or similarity, we explore the productivity of kinship measurements in diverse settings, such as medicine, bureaucracy, and ritual, to demonstrate how they shape inequalities and marginalizations.
Given Names and Lived Closeness
Authors: Markó Ferenc Dávid
Published: April 2022

Immediately after the independence of South Sudan in 2011, a nationality law was passed that defined citizenship by membership to clearly defined and bounded ethnic groups. To acquire citizenship, the testimony of a ‘next of kin’, taken to be an ‘older blood relative from the father’s line’, was supposed to verify ethnicity and, thus, belonging to the new nation. Citizenship offices were tasked with checking names and assessing life histories. In so doing, they combined the logic of patrilineal names with estimations of lived closeness, creating a complex system of measuring kinship. Based on colonial legacies and methods acquired during the Sudanese civil war, kinship measurements produced new relations, but also fueled ethnic tensions and cemented social inequalities.
The Measurements of Boundary Kin in an Inheritance Bubble in Romania
Authors: Chelcea Liviu
Published: April 2022

Struggles between current tenants and the heirs of former owners over property rights in post-socialist housing restitution in Romania often unfold through kinship measurements. I use the notion of ‘boundary kin’—relatives who in different situations may be considered as either near or distant—to capture the role that kinship measurements play in these conflicts. Expanding ties to the past, a large number of persons are seeking restitution. In this ‘inheritance bubble’, the importance of the material basis of measurements in documenting and certifying kinship increases. In an effort to limit restitution, tenants question the genealogical, geographical, and temporal proximity between potential heirs and original owners, embedding kinship measurements instead in care, past suffering, and material engagements with, and knowledge of, the restitution object.
Postponed depth electrode placement due to seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp: illustrative case
Authors: Minchew Heather M. , Ferguson Jessica E. , Guillotte Andrew R. , Cheng Jennifer J.
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND

Seborrheic dermatitis is a common fungal infection of the scalp that may potentially affect depth electrode placement for intracranial seizure monitoring. No cases documenting the safety of proceeding with depth electrode placement in the setting of seborrheic dermatitis have been reported.

OBSERVATIONS

A 19-year-old man with a history of drug-resistant epilepsy was taken to the operating room for placement of depth electrodes for long-term seizure monitoring. Annular patches of erythema with trailing scales were discovered after shaving the patient’s head. Dermatology service was consulted, and surgery was cancelled because of the uncertainty of his diagnosis and possible intracranial spreading. He was diagnosed with severe seborrheic dermatitis and treated with topical ketoconazole. Surgery was rescheduled, and the patient received successful placement and removal of depth electrodes without any complications.

LESSONS

Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin infection that, in the authors’ experience, is unlikely to lead to any intracranial spread after treatment. However, surgeons should use clinical judgment and engage dermatology colleagues regarding any uncertain skin lesions.
Rupture of an adjacent cerebral aneurysm following the deployment of a Pipeline embolization device: illustrative case
Authors: Nakayashiki Atsushi , Sakata Hiroyuki , Ezura Masayuki , Endo Hidenori , Inoue Takashi , Saito Atsushi , Tominaga Teiji
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND

Although the Pipeline embolization device (PED) is effective for intracranial aneurysm treatment, its impact on the surrounding vascular structure is unknown.

OBSERVATIONS

A 71-year-old woman was incidentally found to have a simultaneous large posterior communicating artery aneurysm and an ipsilateral small anterior choroidal artery aneurysm. She underwent flow diversion therapy for both aneurysms with a PED, but the distal shortening of the PED after deployment led to the exposure of the anterior choroidal artery aneurysm. Follow-up angiography revealed complete obliteration of the posterior communicating artery aneurysm, but the anterior choroidal artery aneurysm remained. Three years after the endovascular surgery, the patient experienced a subarachnoid hemorrhage due to the rupture of the anterior choroidal artery aneurysm. Retrospective analysis of angiographic images revealed a change in the vascular geometry surrounding the ruptured aneurysm after PED deployment; this was further accompanied by an increase in the flow velocity inside the aneurysm.

LESSONS

Because PED use might induce the adverse effects on the adjacent uncovered aneurysm by changing the vascular geometry and hemodynamic stress, a cautious therapeutic strategy, such as proper placement of the stent and using a longer and appropriate-sized PED, should be chosen when deploying the PED.

Introduction: Osteoarthritis is a disorder of the diarthrodial joint, a slow degenerative disease clinically characterized by pain, loss of range of motion. On x-ray seen as reduced joint space, formation of osteophytes and deformity. Manual therapy has been proved to be an effective treatment method in knee osteoarthritis (OA), but there is a need to investigate the effectiveness of MIMG manual therapy technique. There is limited evidence on the effect of MIMG protocol in knee OA. Aim: To find the effectiveness of MIMG protocol on pain and range of motion in knee osteoarthritis. Methodology- 38 subjects with the diagnosis of knee OA stage II and III on Kellegren Lawrence classification were recruited from Shree K.K. Sheth physiotherapy Centre, Rajkot, Gujarat. An interventional study was conducted on 38 subjects. Result: The outcome measures MIMG protocol is effective as conventional exercises in treating OA knee. Conclusion: MIMG can be suggested as one of the treatment protocol.
Основні напрямки та проблеми аналітичної метаетики
Authors: Shramko Yaroslav
Published: April 2022

Для аналітичної філософії загалом типовим є метатеоретичний підхід, коли розгляду піддається не деяка предметна царина як така, а сам процес дослідження цієї царини, що здійснюється задля прояснення методології такого дослідження та розробки його загальнофілософських засад. Водночас аналітична філософія не відмовляється від власного теоретичного вивчення філософських сутностей і можливих прикладних аспектів такого вивчення. Щодо етичного знання, то тут варто розрізняти (1) розгляд конкретних людських учинків або моделей поведінки з погляду їх можливої моральної оцінки; (2) етичні системи, які визначають умови моральної оцінки поведінки та вчинків; (3) філософсько-методологічний аналіз цих систем. Як наслідок, в аналітичній моральній філософії виділяють три рівні розгляду моралі, яким відповідають три основні розділи етики (етичні дисципліни): прикладна етика, нормативна етика й метаетика. Виокремлення цих розділів етичного знання відповідає прийнятому у філософії науки розмежуванню між методологічним рівнем розгляду наукового знання та самим цим знанням, у межах якого зазвичай виділяють теоретичний і прикладний (емпіричний) рівні. Основне завдання метаетики полягає у вивченні природи моральних суджень та етичних концепцій, а також у їх всебічному обгрунтуванні. Таке обгрунтування досягається за допомогою розгляду цілого комплексу питань, які пов’язують етику з іншими розділами філософії, насамперед з онтологією, теорією пізнання, філософією мови та філософією свідомості. У межах нормативної етики розробляються конкретні етичні теорії для обгрунтування тих чи тих загальних етичних принципів, а також вирішується питання, якого роду реальність повинна підпадати під дію цих принципів. Що стосується прикладної етики, то вона займається конкретними ситуаціями, проблемами або поведінковими, як правило, суспільно значущими практиками, з погляду їх можливої моральної оцінки, і на цій основі створюються етичні рекомендації щодо їх здійснення або, навпаки, обмеження.
Karl Popper’s Solution to the Problem of Induction and the Non-Justificationist Conception of Rationality
Authors: Сепетий Дмитро Петрович
Published: April 2022

The article provides a detailed account and elucidation of Karl Popper’s solution to Hume’s problem of induction. It is pointed out that the solution has two major aspects. The first, explicitly described by Popper as his solution to the problem of induction, is the replacement of the inductivist account of the development of empirical knowledge, according to which cognition begins with observations of particular events and proceeds through inductive inferences to certainly true or highly probable theories-generalisations, with the hypothetico-deductivist account, according to which cognition begins with a problem and proceeds through conjecturing its possible solutions (advancing hypotheses) and attempts to falsify them by reproducible results of observations/experiments. The second aspect has to do with the problem of justification of the hypothetico-deductivist account (which replaces Hume’s problem of the justification of induction). This problem is shown to be dealt with within Popper’s-Bartley’s general solution to the problem of justification, usually described as «non-justificationism», which admits the impossibility of absolute definitive justification (for any position) and replaces the search for such justification with the evaluation of relative advantages/disadvantages of competing approaches, which can provide us with reasons to prefer or tentatively accept one of them. The comparison is made between Popper’s hypotheticodeductivist account and Charles Pierce’s account based on abduction, or inference to the best explanation. It is shown that these accounts has similar logical structures, that with respect to empirical science they suggest mutual corrections and clarifications, and that inference to the best explanation can provide justification for the assumption of the existence of laws of nature, which is implicit in the hypothetico-deductivist account.
Філософія Т. Ріда: критика локкіанської концепції ідентичності особистості
Authors: Оліфер Олена Євгеніївна
Published: April 2022

У статтi розглянуто життя Т. Рiда, його фiлософськi думки та критичнi зауваження щодо локкiанської теорiї iдентичностi особистостi. Цю статтю можна розглядати як загальний вступ до фiлософiї Т. Рiда. Стаття складається з кiлькох основних роздiлiв. Спочатку викладено ключовi моменти з бiографiї. Другий роздiл статтi стосується iсторiї написання, структури, iдей та основних тем Рiдового magnum opus у теорiї пiзнання — «Есе про розумовi здiбностi людини». До категорiї iдентичностi Рiд звертається двiчi: вiн розглядає її як фундаментальну категорiю фiлософiї та як характерну рису особистостi. У статтi розглянуто критичний аналiз Т. Рiда щодо локкiанської теорiї iдентичностi особистостi. Зазначено, що Т. Рiд намагається дати бiльш точне й чiтке визначення поняття «iдентичнiсть особистостi», порiвнюючи з визначенням Локка. Вiн витлумачує iдентичнiсть як протяжне у часi iснування розумної iстоти. Т. Рiд показує, що локкiанська позицiя методологiчно непослiдовна, тому що локкiвське визначення особистостi та погляди на iдентичнiсть особистостi суперечать одне одному. Вiн наводить кiлька аргументiв на пiдтвердження цього: (1) iдентичнiсть, що ґрунтується на свiдомостi, легко порушити внаслiдок забування; (2) пам’ять не може бути критерiєм особистостi, оскiльки пам’ять є її наслiдком; (3) свiдомiсть — це здатнiсть розуму, що вiдрiзняє людей вiд iнших iстот, але вона однакова для всiх людей, i тому не може пояснити iндивiдуальнi вiдмiнностi мiж двома особистостями. У четвертому роздiлi статтi розглянуто поняття «свiдомiсть», в iнтерпретацiї якого наявна рiзниця, що призвела до нерозумiння Т. Рiдом фiлософських iдей Дж. Локка. Ця рiзниця полягає в такому: для Локка свiдомiсть включає пам’ять та сприйняття, простягається з минулого в теперiшнє, тодi як для Рiда вона сконцентрована виключно на теперiшньому та вiдрiзняється вiд пам’ятi та сприйняття.

Кар’єри, якi не працюють, можна розглядати як об’єктидля вiдновлення бiорiзноманiття пiсля їх виведення iз промисловоговикористання. Вдалим прикладом є Жовтокам’янський кар’єр(Криворiзький район). Протягом трьох мiсяцiв 2018 р. i 2020–2021 рр.проводилися дослiдження фауни хребетних на вiдпрацьованiй дiлянцiкар’єру, де наявнi переважно деревно-чагарниковi угруповання, i набезпосередньо прилеглих дiлянках, представлених рiзними бiотопами(степ, агрофiтоценози, водойма). Застосовано класичнi методимаршрутного й абсолютного облiку земноводних, плазунiв, птахiв,дрiбних ссавцiв. Виявлено 73 види (2 — земноводних, 4 — плазунiв, 63 —птахiв, 4 — ссавцiв). Видовий склад хребетних у самому кар’єрi та наприлеглих дiлянках є цiлком вiдповiдним. Встановлено, що кiлькiстьосiлих i кочових видiв птахiв приблизно рiвна кiлькостi мiгруючих видiв.Для зимової та ранньовесняної орнiтофауни притаманнi здебiльшоговсеїднi та рослиноїднi види. Комахоїднi види притаманнi переважнолiтнiй орнiтофаунi у зв’язку iз сезонною приуроченiстю коливаньфауни безхребетних. За гнiздуванням бiльше половини видiв птахiвє дендрофiлами. Безпосередньо на територiї кар’єру виявлено 4 видихребетних, занесених до Червоної книги України. Видовий складземноводних, плазунiв i ссавцiв, а також динамiка коливань чисельностi iвидового складу птахiв, потребують подальшого дослiдження. Отже, цейоб’єкт є перспективним для вiдновлення бiорiзноманiття та привабленнянових видiв.
