Reinterpeting Nietzsche: An Introduction to the Textualists' Approach
Authors: Tandyanto Yulius
Published: February 2023

The core of Nietzsche's philosophy is typically articulated comprehensively by contentists through key concepts such as the will to power, the eternal return, and the overman. Unfortunately, such goals are frequently arbitrary and lack rigorous textual support. Textists, on the other hand, tend to prioritize a historical-contextual approach in interpreting Nietzsche's texts in order to overcome this weakness. The textists' approach is distinguished by the genetic and literary analysis of the critical editions of Nietzsche's texts compiled by Colli/Montinari. As a result, this article begins with a brief topography of the critical editions, focusing on the role of KGW IX in genetic analysis. Furthermore, the style of genetic and literary analysis applied to aphorism 36 of BGE becomes a case study to demonstrate how the interpretation differs from that of the contentists. Textists show Nietzsche's creativity as the author of the aphorism that makes parody, irony, and satire of will-causality and moral demands in scientific explanations, whereas contentists interpret the will to power hypothesis as the essence of reality. For textists, the principle of the will to power in BGE 36 is framed in suppositional language, implying that the proposition of the will to power is also unreal.

Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT Riau Islands Province has a large potential of fishery resources but has not been utilized optimally to increase regional economic growth, in addition to the problem of territorial boundaries in the South Natuna Sea between Indonesia and Vietnam and China, as well as a decrease in the number of Indonesian fishing fleets operating in the province. The Riau Archipelago is faced with the proliferation of foreign fishing vessels looking for fish in the region. The purpose of this study is to find and analyze the effect of domestic investment, fishery business credit, fishery exports and the number of fishing fleets on the performance of the fisheries sub-sector in the Riau Islands Province. In this research, the natural logarithm equation (Ln) model is used, with explanatory research analysis research methods or hypothesis research through explanations of causal relationships between variables, while the research design uses panel data analysis cross section 7 cities/districts and time series for 6 years from 2015 to 2020 in the Riau Islands Province using quantitative inferential statistics. The result show that the variables of domestic investment, fishery business credit, fishery exports and the number of fishing fleets simultaneously have a significant effect, also partially have a significant and positive effect on the performance of the fisheries sub-sector in the Riau Islands Province. Likewise, the fishery sub-sector performance variable has a significant and positive

It is known as the new engine of economic growth and has set off an upsurge of innovation and entrepreneurship in the whole society. All higher vocational colleges have followed the trend of development, and will implement the national decision and deployment, lay a solid foundation for mass entrepreneurship and innovation, and effectively enhance students’ entrepreneurial awareness, innovation spirit and creativity as an important way to promote the reform and innovation of higher education and the characteristic development of vocational colleges. In view of this, based on the practical exploration of innovation and entrepreneurship in higher vocational colleges, it is beneficial for higher vocational colleges to provide continuous intellectual resources and talent support for the development of innovative countries by carefully sorting out the existing problems and deeply thinking about the future trend.
The Deployment of Autobiography in Heterobiography: Poetic Memory in Boitempo by Carlos Drummond de Andrade
Authors: Carmo Mirella Carvalho do , Portolomeos Andréa
Published: February 2023

This article discusses the conflicting relationship between autobiography and poetry in poems within Drummond’s Boitempo trilogy. Exploring this theme is significant for the problematization of a rather naive reading that seeks the reasons for a poem in its extraliterary sphere, that is, in the life of the poet, providing a broader understanding of the lyrical subject as a complex fictional element. Accordingly, in this study, we apply the theoretical conceptions of Hoisel (2019), Lejeune (2014), Arfuch (2010), Smith (1971) and Iser (1996, 2002) to debate autobiographical space in poetry and the reception of the most astute part of Drummond’s lyrical remembrance. The article also discusses, following Halbwachs (1990), Silva (2009), Miranda (1988) and Santiago (2008, 2004), the collective nature of memory and the resemanticization of the subject in fiction. Moreover, our analysis of selected poems dialogs with the critical arguments of Candido (2000), Villaça (2006) and Pedrosa (2011) to clarify how Drummond’s memorialistic texts propose the recreation of the past — of an “I” that is recognized as an “other” and projects itself in this “other”, which is constantly cowritten through the act of reading.
“PLAY ME”
Authors: Panagiotou Ioannis
Published: February 2023

Created during the COVID-19 pandemic, “PLAY ME” is a video work that discusses the difference between physical-perceptual experience and our limited understanding of the outer world. The artwork uses a first-person walking practice in combination with narration and sound as a mapping tool, and public pianos as a guide for exploring our cities and the aesthetics of digital culture. The purpose of this short manuscript is to analyse the role of the narrator in the self-referential storytelling of my video work “PLAY ME.” I will discuss self-referentialism as a creative tool, and the role of the narrator as a portal for connecting materials with ideas. To do this, it will be helpful to divide and analyse the plot of this work into parts, so the following analysis in artist’s voice will be clearer.
Structural Behavior of Steel Structures on the Basis of Computer Simulation Software
Authors: Choubisa Jitendra
Published: February 2023

Abstract: Creating a world class infrastructure that stands aesthetic and performs well structurally is not that easy. As an engineer one must have to keep in mind the applications and structural needs of a building. Talking of structures, RCC structures are quite common to work out with and on the other hand steel structures gives good weight per unit length. Steel structures are also easy to construct and helps in reducing project time. In this paper we have discussed about how structurally a model behaves in regards to its comparison among two computer simulating software viz., etabs and staad pro. Staad pro is there for long in the field of simulation and etabs is easy to workout with the interactive design and functions. We have compared here mainly three types of structures made entirely of steel sections. A Howe roof truss, a Howe bridge truss and a transmission tower. All of them were modeled in both etabs and staad pro and the results were matched. Both the software showed quite same base reaction, bending moment and shear forces. But Etabs shows slightly less bending moment, shear forces & Base reaction with more precision in the respective members as compared to StaadPro. And on the other hand etabs also shows which members is stressed or utilized fully upto its strength, by which one can use an optimized way of designing a structures.
A Review on Dynamic Hand Gesture Recognition Techniques
Authors: A Mownika Reddy K , Harish Prajna , K Sambhrama , Bhat Vinayak , G Dr. Deepak , Kumar Dr. Harish
Published: February 2023

Abstract: Body language is one of the nonverbal methodsof communication, and it comprises hand gestures, arm movements, posturing, and gestures and facial expressions. One way to communicate information through the movement of the body is through gestures. HGR is a smart, intuitive, and easy method of human-computer interaction (HCI). HGR systems have two key applications: SLR and GBC. To help the deaf communicate with the hearing community, SLR tries to automaticallyinterpret SLs via a computer. The idea that SL is a highly ordered and primarily symbolic collection of human gestures is what led to the development of universal gesture-based HCI.

El objetivo fue analizar la invarianza de medición de la Escala de Autoeficacia Percibida Específica para Situaciones Académicas (EAPESA) entre estudiantes universitarios peruanos, mexicanos, colombianos, argentinos y brasileños, y su relación con el agotamiento emocional académico (AEA). Además de la EAPESA, se usó la Escala de Cansancio Emocional (ECE). Participaron 2142 estudiantes universitarios (70.26 % mujeres) entre los 16 y 35 años (M = 21.79). La estructura unidimensional de la EAPESA se corroboró en cada muestra con un análisis factorial confirmatorio, y la invarianza de medición se llevó a cabo con un análisis factorial de grupo múltiple (AFGM) y con el funcionamiento diferencial de los ítems (FDI). La relación con el AEA se evaluó con el coeficiente de correlación de Pearson. Respecto a los resultados, en todas las muestras el modelo unidimensional presentó adecuados indicadores psicométricos, tanto en lo que respecta a su dimensionalidad como en cuanto a su confiabilidad. Del mismo modo, en cuanto al análisis de invarianza de medición, se alcanza la invarianza fuerte, y el FDI es débil, lo que junto con el AFGM brinda evidencia favorable de invarianza de medición. Se concluye que la EAPESA es una medida invariante entre los grupos analizados, aunque es necesario replicar la investigación para consolidar los hallazgos. Estos resultados contribuyen a entender la estructura interna de la EAPESA, algo que estaba aguardando una valoración, ya que dicha escala es usada en varios contextos.

Stendhal and Literary Ambition
Authors:   Institute of Foreign Literature, Cho Seong-Woong
Published: February 2023

Stendhal, who is well known as art critic and romantic and realist novelist, was fascinated by the theater and often engaged in writing theatrical works without succeeding. His early vocation was to live in Paris by making comedies like Molière. He strengthened himself in critical reading and philosophical studying of the English, Italian and Spanish theatre. He took important theatrical works and developed them into his own immortal theatrical works. Selmours, Les deux Hommes and Letellier were advanced but were not finished. He failed to be a comic playwright because of his too much literary ambition, the change of literary circumstance and viewer's taste, and the lack of literary genius. The ambition to be the greatest comedy-writer did not come true, but he declared himself as a novelist and left his mark in novels.
Memory of Victory: The Method South Korea, North Korea, and China Remember the Korean War.
Authors:   Institute of Foreign Literature, Kim Eun-jeong
Published: February 2023

This study aims at the differences and changes in the ways of remembering the Korean War by comparatively analyzing the commemorative songs of South Korea, North Korea, and China. A common feature of memorial songs of South Korea, North Korea, and China is that each of them regards the Korean War as a triumph. Each country commemorates the war on different days with different meanings and remembers the unfinished war as a victory. The words ‘Korean War’ and ‘victory’ are stigma not forgotten in South Korea. They are political capital that can rally and persuade the people in North Korea and China. Meanwhile, in South Korea the song “Song of 6.25” became 'political capital' in the struggle for leadership in political or ideological struggles.
Metafísica de la individualidad biológica: argumentos para un enfoque pluralista
Authors: Navarro Cárdenas Francisco Javier
Published: February 2023

Los enfoques pluralistas en filosofía de la individualidad biológica sugieren que la realidad es divisible en múltiples tipos de individuos biológicos (individuos evolutivos, genéticos, fisiológicos, entre otros). En la presente investigación argumentaré a favor de dicha ontología pluralista. Inspirado en la metafísica procesual de John Dupré, el perspectivismo de Ronald Giere y el realismo activo de Hasok Chang, sugeriré que: (i) los individuos biológicos son nexos temporalmente estables en un flujo de procesos causales, (ii) las individuaciones en biología representan individuos reales solo bajo las perspectivas científicas que las sustentan, (iii) la capacidad de la biología para reconocer diversos tipos de individuos proviene de prácticas de individuación epistémicamente exitosas. Estas prácticas no solo nos contactan con múltiples sitios de la realidad, sino que también nos invitan a adoptar el pluralismo como una forma eficaz de incrementar nuestro conocimiento científico de la naturaleza.
Islamic bank efficiency: an efficiency method with SFA

Published: February 2023

Judging from the financial ratios, the performance of Islamic banking in Indonesia was remarkably stable both before and during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, another thing is whether this condition could make Islamic banks continue to work effectively. This study aimed to measure the cost efficiency of Islamic commercial banks in Indonesia quarter I of 2019 – quarter IV of 2020 and analyze the influencing factors in cost efficiency. The study used a saturated sampling technique with a total sample of 14 Islamic commercial banks, while the efficiency level was determined using the Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) method. It turns out that PT. Bank Muamalat Indonesia Tbk. has the highest efficiency value of 0.9284. Several banks with an efficiency value of more than 0.5 are PT. Bank Aceh Syariah, PT. Bank BNI Syariah, and PT. Bank Mega Syariah. In this study, only inflation variables affect efficiency. In contrast, bank size, Return on Assets (ROA), Net Operating Margin (NOM), Non-Performing Financing (NPF), Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR) variables, Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and the rupiah exchange rate don’t affect the efficiency. Overall, all the company's internal variables and environmental variables affect efficiency.
COMMUNICATION FOR EMPOWERMENT THROUGH VIRTUAL PHILANTHROPY TO BUILD AN ISLAMIC CREATIVE ECONOMY
Authors: Purwani Diah Ajeng
Published: February 2023

The spread of Covid-19 cases in Indonesia has caused a weakening of economic activity, which also impacts economic growth, unemployment, and a decline in income from micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). This study aims to explore the role of the creative economy through virtual philanthropy based on Islamic teachings in helping economic recovery. The type used in this research is qualitative with a phenomenological approach. The data collection technique was primarily done through observation and interviews to strengthen the data. The participants in this study were four communities of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) engaged in services and one district of empowerment in the region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia, as the subject of research. The results of this study indicate that the presence of a virtual philanthropic community based on Islamic guidelines through social media has an impact on business growth in six essential ways, namely: the movement to buy friends' products, group alms, promote friends' products, buy in cash, usury-free capital assistance, and strengthen networks business. The hope is that this Islamic-based virtual philanthropy can become a driving force of empowerment for small communities.
Carrying capacity for tree biomass of a subtropical mangrove along a river in Japan inferred from forest structural features.

Published: February 2023

A subtropical mangrove along the Miyara River in Ishigaki Island, Japan
was studied for evaluating the carrying capacity for biomass of the
monospecific stands. Rhizophora stylosa and Bruguiera gymnorrhiza were
dominant in the downstream area whereas B. gymnorrhiza in the upstream.
The stem diameter D, stem height H, fine roots mass were measured and,
aboveground biomass AGB, belowground coarse root biomass BGBcoarse were
estimated. The AGB, BGBcoarse and fine root mass were estimated as
128.46 Mg ha-1, 31.01 Mg ha-1 and 12.75 Mg ha-1 in the R. stylosa;
269.82 Mg ha-1, 93.68 Mg ha-1 and 11.13 Mg ha-1 in the downstream B.
gymnorrhiza; and, 227.94 Mg ha-1, 81.05 Mg ha-1 and 6.35 Mg ha-1 in the
upstream B. gymnorrhiza plots, respectively. The AGB did not differ
among the plots, meanwhile BGBcoarse was significantly lower and fine
root mass was significantly higher in the R. stylosa plots than in the
downstream B. gymnorrhiza plots. Significantly lower mean individual
phytomass wt specific to tree density  of R. stylosa plots than B.
gymnorrhiza plots in the  – wt relationship was found, which denoted
the lower carrying capacity for AGB of R. stylosa than that of B.
gymnorrhiza. The results rejected our hypothesis that the stressful
edaphic conditions, such as high soil salinity and low pH at the
downstream, limit biomass and potential canopy height Hmax of mangrove
along a river gradient but partly supported another hypothesis that
biomass and Hmax differs between different mangrove species at the same
edaphic environment.
MAGE-A10 PROTEIN EXPRESSION IN ADVANCED HIGH GRADE SEROUS OVARIAN CANCER IS ASSOCIATED WITH RESISTANCE TO FIRST LINE PLATINUM-BASED CHEMOTHERAPY

Published: February 2023

Objective: Ovarian cancer has a dismal prognosis. Standard
treatment following surgery relies on platinum-based chemotherapy.
However, sizeable percentages of patients are unresponsive.
Identification of markers predicting response to chemotherapy might help
select eligible patients while sparing unresponsive ones
treatment-associated toxicity. Cancer/testis antigens (CTA) are
expressed by healthy germ cells and malignant cells of diverse
histological origin. This expression profile identifies them as
attractive targets of cancer immunotherapies. We analyzed correlations
between expression of MAGE-A10 and New York esophageal-1 cancer
(NY-ESO-1) CTAs at protein level and effectiveness of platinum-based
chemotherapy in patients with advanced-stage high-grade serous ovarian
carcinoma (HGSOC). Methods: MAGE-A10 and NY-ESO-1 protein
expression was analyzed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in formalin-fixed,
paraffin-embedded samples from 93 patients with advanced-stage HGSOC
treated at our institutions between January 1996 and December 2013.
Correlation between expression of these markers and response to
platinum-based chemotherapy, evaluated according to RECIST 1.1 criteria,
platinum sensitivity, measured as platinum free interval (PFI),
progression free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) was explored.
Results: MAGE-A10 protein expression predicts
unresponsiveness to platinum-based chemotherapy ( p=0.005), poor
platinum sensitivity ( p<0.001), and poor PFS (
p<0.001) and OS ( p<0.001).
Multivariate analysis identifies MAGE-A10 protein expression as
independent predictor of poor platinum sensitivity ( p=0.005) and
shorter OS ( p<0.001). Instead, no correlation was
observed between NY-ESO-1 protein expression and response to
platinum-based chemotherapy (p=0.832), platinum sensitivity (p= 0.168),
PFS (p=0.126) and OS (p=0.335). Conclusion:
MAGE-A10 protein expression reliably identifies advanced-stage HGSOC
unresponsive to platinum-based chemotherapy. Targeted immunotherapy
could represent an important alternative therapeutic option in these
cancers.

Published: February 2023

Background: Mechanical bowel preparation before gynecologic
surgeries has been administered for decades but its use is controversial
today. Objectives: To assess the efficacy and tolerance of
mechanical bowel preparation before benign laparoscopic or vaginal
gynecologic surgeries. Search strategy: MEDLINE (PubMed),
EMBASE (OVID), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL),
and Web of Sciences published up to December 2021. Selection
criteria: Randomized clinical trials in any language comparing
mechanical bowel preparation before laparoscopic and vaginal gynecologic
surgeries with no preparation were included. Data collection and
analysis: Two reviewers independently screened and extracted data from
selected articles and assessed the risk of bias. Surgeon findings,
operative outcomes and patient’s pre-operative symptoms and satisfaction
were collected. Main results: Twelve studies (1715 patients) of
the 925 records screened were included. No significant differences were
observed on surgical field view (RR=1.01, 95%CI 0.97-1.05, p=0.66, I
=0%); bowel handling (RR=1.01, 95%CI 0.95-1.08,
p=0.78, I =67%). There were no statistically
significant differences in peri-operative findings. Mechanical bowel
preparation was associated with increased pain
(MD=11.62[2.80-20.44], I =76, p=0.01); weakness
(MD=10.73[0.60-20.87], I =94, p=0.04); hunger
(MD=17.52[8.04-27.00], I =83, p=0.0003); insomnia
(MD=10.13[0.57-19.68], I =82, p=0.04); and lower
satisfaction (RR=0.68 95%CI 0.53-0.87, I =76%,
p=0.002). Conclusion: In view of the adverse effects induced by
mechanical bowel preparation and the lack of any surgical benefit, the
routine its use prior to benign gynecological surgeries should be
abandoned. Funding: This work was granted by the French network

Numerical treatment of state-dependent permeability in multiphysics problems
Authors: Stefansson Ivar , Keilegavlen Eirik
Published: February 2023

Constitutive laws relating fluid potentials and fluxes in a nonlinear
manner are common in several porous media applications, including
biological and reactive flows, poromechanics, and fracture deformation.
Compared to the standard, linear Darcy’s law, such enhanced flux
relations increase both the degree of nonlinearity, and, in the case of
multiphysics simulations, coupling strengthbetween processes. While incorporating the nonlinearities into
simulation models is thus paramount for computational efficiency,
correct linearization, as is needed for incorporation in Newton’s
method, is challenging from a practical perspective. The standard
approach is therefore to ignore nonlinearities in the permeability
during linearization. For finite volume methods, which are popular in
porous media applications, complete linearization is feasible only for
the simplest flux discretization, namely the two-point flux
approximation. We introduce an approximated linearization scheme for
finite volume methods that is exact for the two-point scheme and can be
applied to more advanced and accurate discretizations, exemplified
herein by a multi-point flux stencil. We test the new method for both
nonlinear porous media flow and several multiphysics simulations. Our
results show that the new linearization consistently outperforms the
standard approach. Moreover our scheme achieves asymptotic second order
convergence of the Newton iterations, in contrast to the linear
convergence obtained with the standard approach.
Heavy Water Isotope Precipitation in Inland East Antarctica Accompanied by Strong Southern Westerly Winds during the Last Glacial Maximum
Authors: Kino Kanon , Cauquoin Alexandre , Okazaki Atsushi , Oki Taikan , Yoshimura Kei
Published: February 2023

Stable water isotope signals in inland Antarctic ice cores have provided
wealth of information about past climates. This study investigated
atmospheric circulation processes that influence precipitation isotopes
in inland Antarctica associated with atmospheric circulations in the
southern mid-latitudes during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM,
~21 000 year ago). We simulated this climate period
using circulation model (MIROC5-iso) forced with different sea surface
boundary conditions. Our results showed a steepened meridional sea
surface temperature gradient in the southern mid-latitudes associated
with a strengthening of the southern westerlies. This change in the
atmospheric circulation enhanced the intrusion of warm and humid air
from low latitudes that contributes to precipitation events, inducing
heavy isotope precipitation inland East Antarctica. Our results suggest
that the representation of past southern westerlies can be constrained

This study uses low-frequency, inaudible acoustic waves (infrasound) to
probe wind and temperature fluctuations associated with breaking gravity
waves in the middle atmosphere. Building on an approach introduced by
Chunchuzov et al., infrasound recordings are used to retrieve effective
sound-speed fluctuations in an inhomogeneous atmospheric layer that
causes infrasound backscattering. The infrasound was generated by
controlled blasts at Hukkakero, Finland and recorded at the IS37
infrasound station, Norway in the late summers 2014 - 2017. Our findings
indicate that the analyzed infrasound scattering occurs at mesospheric
altitudes of 50 - 75 km, a region where gravity waves interact under
non-linearity, forming thin layers of strong wind shear. The retrieved
fluctuations were analyzed in terms of vertical wave number spectra,
resulting in approximate kz-3 power law that corresponds to the
“universal“ saturated spectrum of atmospheric gravity waves. The kz-3
power law wavenumber range corresponds to vertical atmospheric scales of
33 - 625 m. The fluctuation spectra were compared to theoretical gravity
wave saturation theories as well as to independent wind measurements by
the Saura medium-frequency radar near Andøya Space Center around 100 km
west of IS37, yielding a good agreement in terms of vertical wavenumber
spectrum amplitudes and slopes. This suggests that the radar and
infrasound-based effective sound-speed profiles represent low- and
high-wavenumber regimes of the same “universal“ gravity wave spectrum.
The results illustrate that infrasound allows for probing fine-scale
dynamics not well captured by other techniques, suggesting that
infrasound can provide a complementary technique to probe atmospheric
gravity waves.
Storylines of Sahel precipitation change: roles of the North Atlantic and Euro-Mediterranean temperature

Published: February 2023

Future changes in Sahel precipitation are uncertain because of large
differences among projections from various models. In order to explore
this uncertainty, we use a storyline approach which seeks to identify
alternative plausible evolutions of Sahel precipitation and their
driving factors. By analysing projections from the CMIP6 climate models,
we show that changes in North Atlantic and in Euro-Mediterranean
temperatures explain up to 50% of the central Sahel precipitation
change uncertainty. We then construct several storylines of Sahel
precipitation change based on future plausible changes in North Atlantic
and Euro-Mediterranean temperatures. In one storyline, an amplified
warming of both the North Atlantic and the Euro-Mediterranean areas
promotes a northward shift of the West African monsoon, increasing
precipitation over the central Sahel, while, in another storyline, a
moderate warming in both regions is associated with a small change in
precipitation over the central Sahel and a decrease in precipitation
over the western Sahel, at the end of the 21st century. These results
indicate that reducing uncertainty in future changes in Sahel
precipitation could be achieved by reducing uncertainty in the future
warming of the North Atlantic and the Euro-Mediterranean areas.
SuPreMeChiF - a New Approach to Detect Subtle Changes in Continuous Monitoring Data, with a case study of COVID-19 impact in Singapore through seismic and infrasound recordings

Published: February 2023

The lack of precursory signals at some volcanic eruptions could be due
to the analysis performed which failed to capture subtle changes. We
have developed a new technique, “Subtle Precursor Measurement of Change
in Frequency (SuPreMeChiF)”, which calculates the cumulative
distribution difference (Kolmogorov-Smirnov test) between monitoring
features in given reference and sample windows, to detect and quantify
subtle changes in continuous data that may be overlooked by usual
analysis. It is tested on seismic and infrasound recordings to analyse
changes associated with the COVID-19 period, a known global
perturbation. The results show high coherence with mobility, reveal
details of changes that were not indicated in conventional spectral
analysis, and demonstrate the potential to retrieve the source physical
processes. This quantitative approach provides insight for future
application in automated detections during real-time volcano monitoring.
SCHULD – SUCHE – VERZEIHUNG: SICH GEGENSEITIG AUSSCHLIESSENDE KONSTANTEN ODER SINNEINHEIT? (JONATHAN SAFRAN FOER “UNHEIMLICH LAUT UND UNGLAUBLICH NAH”)
Authors: Kokhan Roksoliana
Published: February 2023

Der moderne literarische Prozess bietet zahlreiche Möglichkeiten für die Rezeption und Interpretation existenzieller Marker. Die Suche nach gedanklichen und semantischen Dominanten, die das existentielle Paradigma umreißen, führt den Forscher in kategorisches Labyrinth, in dem jedes neue Phänomen neue Fragen über das bereits scheinbar Verstandene aufwirft. Der metamoderne Diskurs zeigt die Notwendigkeit, den Begriff der Schuld als modellierenden Faktor auf der Ebene eines Kunstwerks zu definieren. Der Artikel bietet eine poetische Projektion des Begriffs “Schuld” im Prisma seines philosophischen Verständnisses in literarischen Werken. Dabei werden insbesondere die konzeptionellen Unterschiede in der Auslegung dieses Begriffs in den verschiedenen Epochen der Literaturgeschichte herausgearbeitet. Die Analyse des Prozesses der künstlerischen Modellierung und der weiteren Rezeption durch das Prisma der Schuld wird am Material des Romans des modernen amerikanischen Schriftstellers Jonathan Safran Foer “Unheimlich laut und unglaublich nah” durchgeführt. Um das semantische Paradigma der Schuld zu umreißen, wird vorgeschlagen, die verwandte Kategorie der “Verzeihung” kontextuell zu betrachten.
MYSTICAL SYMBOLS IN THE CULINARY DISCOURSE OF JOAN HARRIS’S NOVEL “CHOCOLAT”
Authors: Labenko Oksana , Palchevska Oleksandra , Labenko Olha
Published: February 2023

The article deals with analyzing the nature of Joan Harris’s novel “Chocolat” mystical symbolism. The authors state that the culinary discourse is a mixed, personal-oriented type of communication, which is manifested in the everyday communication sphere which has an institutional character. Foreign language Culinary discourse is represented by precedent texts of culinary recipes that reflect the specifics of national culture, which has social and gender characteristics and is a special type of communication that uses certain professional-oriented signs – terminology, stable turns of phrase, characteristic morphosyntactic structures. It is noted that sign are characterized by a symbolic nature, structuredness, the presence of cultural interpretants, individually authored nature of coding, communicative orientation. Certain features of the image indicate that it acts as a special connecting link between the life world of a person and the linguistic representation of this world. This is done through the process of encoding spiritual and cultural values with the help of linguistic means (signs). The magic in the plot of the novel is connected, first of all, with mystical seniority. The novel, written as a diary of the heroine and her daughter, alternating with the letters of Vianne’s antagonist, Curé Raynaud, to his father, intimates the story from the beginning, emphasizing the specific symbolism of the characters’ world. All this makes it possible to imagine chocolate as a mystical substance that evokes a whole range of sensations described in detail in the novel.

Authors: Liang Zhang
Published: February 2023

The article describes the effectiveness of the functioning of the field of physical education and sports, which largely depend on the use of modern management technologies. All activities carried out in the field of physical education are management activities, both in form and content. Graduates of higher educational institutions of physical education and sports must master the basics of management science, the ability to apply theoretical knowledge in practice, which is a necessary condition for the effective operation of organizations in the field, the training of high-class athletes, increasing the level of physical activity and strengthening the health of the population. The purpose of the study "Management of the field of physical education and sports" is to provide future specialists with theoretical knowledge about the system of physical education movement management and to form practical management skills. Due to unsatisfactory socio-economic living conditions, this is also influenced by a decrease in the population's motivation for physical culture and sports activity. In addition, in institutions of general secondary education, imperfect material and technical and personnel support is noted.
ESSENCE AND STRUCTURE OF ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT OF LAW-ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES OF UKRAINE
Authors: Savchuk Roman
Published: February 2023

The article studies the concept and structure of organizational support of law enforcement agencies of Ukraine. The author substantiates the thesis that organizational support of law enforcement agencies is not limited to the organization of their work, and therefore can not be defined solely on the basis of the provisions of management science. Effective performance of duties assigned to law enforcement agencies largely depends on the provision of resources provided by the state budget. Based on the results of the analysis of the current legislation, attention is drawn to the lack of proper legal regulation of the organizational support of law enforcement agencies, as well as to the contradiction of some of its provisions with each other. The main methods used in the study were: logical methods (analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction), comparative legal method, systematic and formal legal method. Special attention in the article is paid to the organizational and legal support of law enforcement agencies, which consists in the analysis of current legislation and the practice of its application, making proposals for their improvement, working with regulations and reference and advisory activities. The material presented in the article allowed to offer the author's vision of the structure of organizational support for the activities of law enforcement agencies, which includes: organizational, legal, personnel, financial, logistical and information support.
