Published: December 2023

The performance of industrial human resources is an indicator of whether the production process of industrial workers in an industrial project is good or bad. In an effort to improve performance, work experience is needed. Work experience reflects proficiency in the knowledge and skills possessed by a workforce in a job that can be measured from the years of service and the type of work carried out by the workforce. This study aims to identify, analyze and demonstrate empirically the effect of job adjustment, leadership ability on human resource management in industry in Jakarta. This research was conducted with quantitative research methods. The population of this study are employees or employees of several industrial companies in Jakarta. Data collection techniques by observation, literature study, interviews and questionnaires. The final conclusion of this paper is that there is an effect of employment adjustment on human resource management. So, with large-scale social restrictions, with the stipulation of work from home, massive layoffs do not affect HR management policies. Furthermore, we know that there is an influence of leadership on human resource management.

Authors: Anwar Kendis , Sari Nadhila , Friyatmi Friyatmi , Evanita Susi
Published: December 2023

New business growth is significantly influenced by entrepreneurial intention. Although numerous research have demonstrated that attitudes have an impact on how intentions are formed, little has been done to dynamically engage social and psychological capital in this interaction. An essential part of developing trustworthy and competent human resources in this industry is vocational education. The purpose of this study is to ascertain the relationship between social capital and psychological capital on entrepreneurial intention and to investigate the mediation function of entrepreneurial orientation in that relationship. This research uses quantitative research methods. Data was collected through an online questionnaire which was filled in by vocational education students at MAN 1 Bukittinggi. The number of samples in this study were 101 students. The data collection technique used in this study was a questionnaire which was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the Smart PLS analysis tool. The results showed that social capital and psychological capital had no significant effect on entrepreneurial intentions, but had a significant effect on entrepreneurial orientation, which in turn had a significant effect on entrepreneurial intentions. Finally, social capital and psychological capital have a significant effect on entrepreneurial intentions through the mediation of entrepreneurial orientation.

Authors: Florid Muhamad Irfan , Raflis Ratnawati
Published: December 2023

Healthcare companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) face fierce competition during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, impacting the Jakarta Composite Index (IHSG) despite its stability around 6,000. Pharmaceutical stock prices surged at the pandemic's outset, crucial for investor assessments. This study examines healthcare companies listed on IDX from 2016 to 2020, involving 14 eligible firms. Data analysis employs descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis, with data analyzed using Eviews 10. Results reveal CR, NPM, TATO, and ROE negatively and significantly affect stock prices, while GPM and EPS have negative but insignificant effects. RC and DER don't significantly impact stock prices, but ROA and PER demonstrate positive, significant effects. Simultaneously, CR, GPM, NPM, RC, TATO, DER, ROA, ROE, EPS, PER, and PBV collectively influence healthcare company stock prices. Company value doesn't moderate CR, RC, TATO, and PER's relationship with stock price but does moderate GPM, NPM, DER, ROA, ROE, EPS, and share prices. Prospective investors should consider factors beyond financial ratios for profitable returns. Keywords: Financial Performance, Stock Prices, Company Value
Russian Embassy in Brussels on the Policy of Leopold I During the Franco-Austrian War, 1859
Authors: Khorosheva Aleksandra
Published: December 2023

After the Crimean War of 1853–1856, the isolated Russian Empire was looking for ways to recover its lost geopolitical standing. Given these circumstances, St Petersburg saw Brussels as a convenient place to gather information about the state of affairs in Europe. In addition, the role of King Leopold I of the Belgians on the eve of the Crimean War was quite noticeable. In addition, considering the active foreign policy of the King of the Belgians, Russia had a certain interest in Leopold I and counted on his mediation in fostering relations with Great Britain and establishing ties with Napoleon III, who was seen as a potential ally by Alexander II. However, Leopold I, despite Belgium's improved relations with France during the Crimean War, feared the foreign policy ambitions and annexationist plans of the French emperor. The King of the Belgians was suspicious of the Franco-Russian rapprochement and, actively advocating the alliance with Great Britain, Austria and Prussia, supported Austria in the war of 1859, which was bound to lead to the deterioration of his relations with Russia. The analysis of the dispatches of the Russian envoys in Brussels, introduced into academic circuit, allows one to study the activities of Leopold I in the international arena and considerably enrich the political portrait of the king, as well as to open new pages in the history of both Belgian-Russian relations and diplomatic negotiations of European states during the Italian crisis of 1859.
The 1954 Geneva Conference: Who Won?
Authors: Shubin Aleksander
Published: December 2023

The article analyzes the 1954 Geneva Conference dedicated to the settlement of conflicts in Korea and Indochina. Despite the division of the conference participants into two camps, the motives of the delegations in each of them differed. Soviet diplomacy, led by Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov, was concerned with obtaining a result that generally reinforced the peacekeeping policy of early détente. The Chinese diplomacy headed by Zhou Enlai sought to accomplish more specific tasks of creating buffers on the northern and southern flanks of the confrontation with the United States and its allies. As a result, Soviet diplomacy followed China's lead, and the option of partitioning Vietnam, first proposed by the PRC, was implemented, while the settlement of the Korean conflict was frozen. At the same time, the fate of Korea demonstrated to the participants that hopes for Vietnam's unification in the near future were illusory, yet the Vietnamese leadership nevertheless agreed to this option. Although, like their antagonists, the DRV and the DPRK played the role of junior partners, the representatives of the “great powers” took their position into account. Having weighed the disadvantages and advantages of partitioning Vietnam, the leadership of the DRV supported it. The PRC and the USSR also further improved relations with Britain and France, while the latter two went some way to isolating the more intransigent US diplomacy at the conference. As a result, the 1954 Geneva Conference was one of the major successes of the “early détente”, although it failed to create the conditions for long-term peace in Indochina.
Мистецтво і релігія в культуротворчому процесі: практики синкрезису та диференціації
Authors: Бровко Микола
Published: December 2023

Мета статті — дослідити сутнісні параметри синтезу мистецтва й релігії як активних форм духовності в кроскультурних реаліях сучасного буття людини. Проаналізувати причини та наслідки конкретно-історичних обставин періодичності появи синкрезису, диференціації мистецтва та релігії. Результати дослідження. З’ясовано ціннісний потенціал сутнісних параметрів взаємозв’язку мистецтва та релігії в контексті предметно-практично поля культуротворення. Виявлено трансгресивні процеси практик синкретичності та диференціацій мистецтва та релігії в культурно-історичному контексті. В дослідженні з’ясовано, що естетичне і магічно-ритуальне, відповідно, релігійне, йдуть поруч, як дві сторони одного й того самого духовно-утилітарного відношення. Очевидно, відмінність, диференціація між ними існує, і в подальшому кроскультурному процесі ці дві форми виокремлюються на самостійні види духовно-практичної діяльності, хоча з моменту виникнення вони здебільшого інтегровані, аніж диференційовані. Наукова новизна одержаних результатів дослідження полягає в тому, що вперше проаналізовані синкретичні та диференційні практики синтезу релігії і мистецтва як у фокусі культурно- історичного контексту, так і некласичній та постнекласичній парадигмі культури сьогодення. Висновки. З’ясовано, що взаємодія мистецтва і релігії в контекстно- предметних реаліях (історичних) продукує множинні форми вияву практик, зокрема від синкретичності до диференціації, і навпаки (до прикладу, сьогочасні тенденції синкрезису, зокрема в царині культурології). Осягнення сутнісних параметрів проблеми взаємозв’язків мистецтва і релігії уможливлюється крізь призму аналізу духовної причетності мистецтва до предметно-практичного поля творення, визначення його аксіологічного потенціалу. Дослідження закономірностей взаємозв’язків мистецтва і релігії зумовлює розробку культуротворчих механізмів впливу цих двох форм духовності на свідомість, самопочуття та вибір ціннісних орієнтирів сучасної людини.

Мета статті — виявити особливості інтерактивності як явища культурного простору кінця XX – початку XXI ст. Результати дослідження. У статті досліджено феномен інтерактивності в контексті сучасного культурного простору. З’ясовано, що інтерактивність є фундаментальною та унікальною ознакою мультимедіа, яка значною мірою визначає естетичну природу інтерактивних художніх середовищ (неповторність художнього образу, засобів виразності, просторово-часової організації матеріалу, сприйняття). Наукова новизна полягає в дослідженні явища інтерактивності крізь призму сучасного культурного простору, аналізі основних характеристик і форм прояву в контексті інноваційних і традиційних художніх практик кінця XX – початку XXI ст. Висновки. Принцип інтерактивності, тобто взаємодія глядача та репрезентатора культурного продукту, є ключовим у формуванні сучасного культурного простору, що пропонує майданчики, відкриті для спільного спілкування та активної участі творчих особистостей, яких не влаштовує роль пасивного глядача, які хочуть не спостерігати, а брати участь. Визначення інтерактивності в контексті практик сучасного культурного простору залежить від особливостей інноваційних мультимедійних і традиційних художніх практик, а також поставлених творчих завдань. Інтерактивність змінює загальноприйняті підходи до традиційної культурної діяльності, впливає на більшість засобів виразності традиційних художніх практик, що є результатом їх інтегрування з цифровими технологіями.
Influence of Properties of Building Materials in Wooden Sandwich Constructions on Overall Fire Resistance
Authors: Kosutova K. , Osvaldova L.M.
Published: December 2023

By choosing suitable individual building materials for a sandwich structure, we can ensure an increase in the fire resistance of the entire structure. The influence of the properties of individual building materials on the overall fire resistance in sandwich constructions has not been well researched. It is for this reason that we focus our contribution on the influence of the properties of building materials in wooden sandwich structures on overall fire resistance. In the wooden sandwich constructions we created, we worked with reference constructions composed of thermal insulation with different surface treatments and with constructions that have the same thermal insulation, but we added 40 mm thick mineral wool to them. Subsequently, we tested the structures according to the EN 1365-1 standard [4]. After processing the obtained results, we came to conclusions about the effect of mineral wool and its combination with suitable thermal insulation on overall fire resistance.
Evaluation of CNC Routed Surface Quality of Beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) with Different Milling Angles as Function of Grain Orientation
Authors: Lungu A. , Gurau L. , Cosereanu C.
Published: December 2023

The paper presents an experimental investigation of the quality of CNC routed surfaces with a V-Grooving router bit (90°) on various milling angles as a function of wood grain direction on beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) wood. The quality of the machined surface was first visually assessed for the presence of raised fibre and other processing defects on the routed circles with a diameter of 180 mm using feed speeds of 3 m/min and 6 m/min respectively, and spindle speeds of 12,000, 15,000, and 18,000 rpm. The quality of the processed surfaces on the circle indicated the most unfavourable CNC routing regime accompanied by the conclusions regarding the most unfavourable angles related to the grain. Further research considered the assessment of the surface quality on straight CNC routing with angles of 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, and 90° related to the wood grain direction at feed speeds of 3 and 6 m/min and spindle speed of 15,000 rpm. In this case, the characterisation of the wood surface quality was made by measuring the roughness parameters. The highest values of the roughness parameters, showing the presence of the fibres detached from the surface, were recorded for the cutting angle of 60, followed closely by 75°, then 45°, and 90° at a feed speed of 3 m/min. No significant difference was found between the Rk of the cutting angles from 0° to 45°, but it increased significantly for 60, 75, and 90°, showing frequent deeper anatomical voids on the surface.
Performance of Wood Dowels and Same Size Metallic Connectors Used for Furniture Joints
Authors: Bas S. , Denes L. , Csiha C.
Published: December 2023

For a circular and sustainable economy, the reuse of wood furniture parts has gathered increasing importance. Disassemblable joints and purposefully developed elements may support this reuse. Despite the relatively high number of structural connectors, newly developed fittings have appeared on the market, combining the advantages of the previous ones or introducing new solutions, like the Domino dowels and connectors developed to make strong hidden joints. In furniture manufacturing, both panel and frame elements are joined for load-bearing, semi-load-bearing, or non-load-bearing connections. Metallic Domino connectors have recently been developed and recommended by the manufacturer only as connecting elements, and not as supporting elements of furniture constructions. In daily practice, the general consideration exists that these metallic connectors are strong enough to perform well as load-bearing elements. The main goal of this research was to examine the strength of corner (L) and T joints made with upper wood dowels and metallic connectors, to compare their performance. For the experiments, same-sized wood dowels and metallic connectors were used. The tension and compression test results indicate that the type of joint (corner versus T) is a stronger influencing factor of performance than the type of jointing element (wood dowel vs. metallic connector). Domino dowels are manufactured in different sizes. Further research will focus on finding the wood dowel equivalent to a given metallic connector of different sizes.

Authors: Agrawal Asha Weinstein , Canapary Jon , Carroll Carol Anne , Guy Tam , Loukaitou-Sideris Anastasia
Published: December 2023

This study was conducted in accordance with California Senate Bill 1161 (2022), legislation that directed the Mineta Transportation Institute to develop a reliable, easy-to-use survey instrument for collecting information from public transit passengers about the extent, location, and characteristics of any street harassment they experience. Although the legislation is focused on large California transit agencies, the study findings are equally relevant to smaller agencies and agencies outside the state. To develop the recommended questionnaire, we reviewed literature about street harassment, analyzed transit passenger surveys to explore the questions asked about safety and harassment, received feedback on iterative drafts of the questionnaire from numerous transit riders and experts, and pilot-tested the survey with 329 bus and train riders. The recommended questionnaire is available on the MTI website in fourteen languages, including English, Spanish, and Chinese.
From Causation (and Parthood) to Time: The Case of EMMO
Authors: Zaccarini Francesco A. , Masolo Claudio , Ghedini Emanuele , Borgo Stefano
Published: December 2023

We investigate the construction of time in EMMO, a foundational ontology developed to improve the strictness in the representation of applied sciences’ knowledge. We show how temporal individuals and temporal relations can be defined from the primitives of causation and parthood, at the core of EMMO; we then prove that our construction satisfies van Benthem’s requirements for temporal structures. Our analysis contributes to clarifying the overall landscape of causal relational theories of time, and to the ongoing effort of aligning foundational ontologies. We conclude by sketching how our results can be generalised, employing a strategy to simulate relations’ transitive closure in FOL. This generalisation makes the described construction of time exploitable in ontology engineering with minimal preconditions and sets up the groundwork for a systematic analysis of the connections between (discrete) causal and temporal structures.
Recognizing Entity Types via Properties
Authors: Shi Daqian , Giunchiglia Fausto
Published: December 2023

The mainstream approach to the development of ontologies is merging ontologies encoding different information, where one of the major difficulties is that the heterogeneity motivates the ontology merging but also limits high-quality merging performance. Thus, the entity type (etype) recognition task is proposed to deal with such heterogeneity, aiming to infer the class of entities and etypes by exploiting the information encoded in ontologies. In this paper, we introduce a property-based approach that allows recognizing etypes on the basis of the properties used to define them. From an epistemological point of view, it is in fact properties that characterize entities and etypes, and this definition is independent of the specific labels and hierarchical schemas used to define them. The main contribution consists of a set of property-based metrics for measuring the contextual similarity between etypes and entities, and a machine learning-based etype recognition algorithm exploiting the proposed similarity metrics. Compared with the state-of-the-art, the experimental results show the validity of the similarity metrics and the superiority of the proposed etype recognition algorithm.
HHT: An Ontology to Represent Territorial Dynamics for Digital Humanities
Authors: Charles William , Hernandez Nathalie
Published: December 2023

The notion of territory plays a major role in human and social sciences as it allows to anchor in a spatio-temporal context the facts studied in humanities. Representation of territories as spatio-temporal entities has been tackled in various ways. However, approaches for an historical context are scarce, as most approaches are designed for either a contemporaneous or case specific use. Notably, most ontologies used to represent territories are focused on spatial representation and do not intend to ecompass the impact of actors over said space, which happens to be a defining dimension of territories in humanities. In order to represent historical territories, we proposed a new version of the previously conceived HHT ontology (Hierarchical Historical Territory) to represent hierarchical historical territories and include actors representation. The resulting ontology encompasses the description of evolving territories, territorial divisions, explicit change representation, the will of actors to change established characteristics of territories and allows to represent territories without having to know their geometry by relying on a notion of building blocks to replace polygonal geometry.
Accountant profession and ethics of its behavior
Authors: Haman H. , Zinchenko M .
Published: December 2023

The article reveals important aspects of the profession of an accountant, the ethical norms of accountant´s behaviour, and the social and moral norms of behavior for individuals in this professional group. The main objectives of business ethics are highlighted, including key components of the professional accounting ethics, which were originally developed in the United States in the form of an ethical code for accountants. The essence of professional ethics for accountants and auditors is defined as a code of relevant rules that determine the behavior of specialists in the workplace, as well as norms that correspond to existing legislative and regulatory acts and official regulatory documents, professional knowledge, relationships in the team, a deep awareness of moral responsibility for performance professional duties. An important place in professional ethics belongs to consideration of the professional responsibility of a specialist in the field of accounting and auditing. The authors note that it is relevant for the domestic market to adhere to foreign practices, where violations of professional ethics, including the code of ethics for professional accountants and auditors, can lead to the revocation of a license to practice within the profession after review by special committees. The priority role in the education of highly qualified specialists and their compliance with ethical rules belongs to the sphere of education, particularly higher educational institutions, advanced training courses, webinars, conferences, etc. Science, education, and practical experience of specialists should create the basis for professional knowledge, skills, values, ethics, and attitudes toward the profession. The article describes the profession of an accountant as one of the most responsible professions, as errors in financial documents can result in significant fines for business owners. Competencies and personal characteristics of accountants in modern conditions and the realities of our lives are also mentioned.

Authors: Maksymiuk Yu.
Published: December 2023

The article analyzes the modern problems of marketing and marketing activity. Relying on classic, well-known and recent scientific studies in this area, a review of literary sources, both domestic and foreign specialists in this area, was performed. It examines what strategies and approaches in marketing activities are relevant in today's market, including the use of digital technologies, personalization, environmental responsibility and other factors. The main challenges and problems faced by companies in the field of marketing are analyzed, such as increased competition, changes in consumer behavior, extraordinary circumstances arising from the pandemic, etc. It highlights what opportunities open up for marketing thanks to modern technologies and trends, and what strategies can help companies solve complex tasks. It was concluded that marketing is a discipline that largely integrates the work of economic theory and management and can be used for the development of the construction industry. The roots of marketing come from microeconomics, and the classical theory of marketing is among the main sciences about the enterprise, dealing with practical aspects of business functioning.

The essence of marketing orientation boils down to the conduct of such activities, which, on the one hand, are able to ensure the realization of the company's goals and profit, and on the other hand, to satisfy the needs of partners and maintain good relations with them.

Researching the current state and problems of marketing is an urgent task for practitioners and researchers focused on successful business. The research can be a theoretical basis for construction companies of various sizes and forms of ownership, as well as development enterprises when forming a system of marketing measures for the development of the company, entering new markets and choosing new tools that will contribute to further development.
Influencing factors of subcontractors’ quality of work and flexibility in Poland and Nigeria

Published: December 2023

Every stakeholder’s intention in a project is to have the best quality and minimize rework. But there are  hurdles that come up during the stages and processes of a project that can compromise the quality if not handled correctly. This study aims to identify the influencing factors that affect subcontractors’quality of work and the impact of flexibility. Construction professionals from Poland and Nigeria participated in the survey. Descriptive statistics using IBM SPSS software version 27 was used to analyse the data.

The results obtained shows that there are several variables influencing subcontractors’ quality of work, the overall ability of the subcontractor to ensure that the project meets the basic function of the end user's needs and intents, the degree to which the construction operations meet the design standards and specifications, strict adherence to quality assurance plan on general performance, subcontractor's ability to complete the contract on the completion date and the ability of the subcontractor to carry out the construction work with little rework, were identified as the major factors that affect the quality of work. Further analysis shows that the impact of flexibility on the subcontractors’ quality of work could increase the smooth operation of the construction processes, increase compliance with the quality specifications, helps in effective decision making and effective functioning, limit non-conformities between planning and realization of work, and reduction in rework errors. The main contractors sometimes substitute or chnage the subcontractors. This study identify poor quality of work, failure to meet the deadline, use of inappropriate material and non-conforming to quality standards as some of the reasons for this change.
Recognising and Responding to Physical and Mental Health Issues in Neurodivergent Women
Authors: Kelly Clive , Martin Ren , Taylor Rachael
Published: December 2023

People experience life and interact with others in many ways. The term ‘neurodivergence’ refers to variations from what is considered typical. Research and education into conditions that co-occur with neurodivergence is essential in shaping clinicians’ approaches to people who may present with a wide range of symptoms. Neurodivergence may influence a person’s style of communication, learning, attitudes, and behaviour, and they often experience inequity and rejection. This review highlights the huge burden of co-occurring conditions carried by neurodivergent women and girls whose medical issues have largely gone under the radar. We suggest how clinicians might increase their awareness of diagnosis and management of their problems with mutual benefit.
Foundations of quantum mechanics revealed by the conservation laws
Authors: Oldani Richard
Published: December 2023

It is often claimed that Einstein is wrong about quantum mechanics. However, when comparisons are made with respect to theoretical foundations rather than experimental results Einstein’s theories are found to be superior. Because he did not complete his theory its far-reaching, intuitively motivated derivations were never properly appreciated. It is the only theory based on a relativistically correct foundation, the time evolution of energy states, rather than the stipulation of energy eigenvalues in absolute time. Further development of his arguments based on the momentum reveals that although non-relativistic theory correctly predicts what it is possible to observe (the emissions) with remarkable accuracy it neglects the other half of natural phenomena, that which cannot be observed (the absorptions), thereby violating the conservation of energy. The deficiencies in non-relativistic theory are corrected by introducing Hamilton’s principle and deriving relativistic equations of motion. This allows quantum mechanical formalism in abstract space to be replaced by the superposition of particle field geometries in real space. Direct application of the calculus of variations to an electron cycle reveals that the wave function is incomplete because it requires twice the allowable action minimum.
A Discussion on Our Universe Boundaries
Authors: Rashed Youssef F.
Published: December 2023

By formulating the direct integral equation for the Gaussian scalar gravitational potential, we were able to generalize the Newtonian law of gravity. Hence, the obtained integral equation is differentiated to obtain another integral equation for the gravitational force. A new indicator (_Ri_) is then defined. By the application of a suitable fundamental solution, it was demonstrated that both Gauss's and Newton's gravities were equivalent only in the case of having the (_Ri_) indicator equal to zero. This proves that our universe is topologically 3D infinite (with no external boundary). Other cases of having values for the (_Ri_) indicator due to nearby black holes demonstrated that such black holes create internal boundaries in our universe. The developed integral equations are then generalized to 4D spatial space to account for possible nearby universes. With the proposed generalized integral equations, together with the help of suitable measurements, a proposal is given for a computational methodology that could help in inversely locating the internal boundaries of our universe or give us a clue about places where nearby universes might be located.
APRENDIA: IA en la Educación. Una galaxia de posibilidades pedagógicas

Published: December 2023

La IA es una tecnología que busca crear sistemas que sean capaces de operar de manera similar a como lo haría un cerebro humano (Rouhiainen, 2018), la idea es que, a través de algoritmos y modelos matemáticos complejos, la Inteligencia Artificial analice grandes cantidades de datos, y así encuentre patrones y correlaciones que le permitan a las máquinas “aprender”, “razonar”, “percibir” y tomar decisiones. Para entender mejor la IA y cómo mejora con el uso que le damos, es fácil pensar que funciona como una artista muy talentosa que puede realizar diferentes obras. Pero en lugar de aprender de un libro o de sus maestros, aprende de una enorme base de datos de técnicas, inspiración y de las preferencias de su público. Lo mejor es que a medida que más personas conocen y experimentan sus creaciones, proporcionan comentarios y la retroalimentan, así la artista puede ajustar y mejorar su habilidad para realizar diferentes y maravillosas obras.
Phenomenon of Technoculture in the Context of Transhumanism: Interaction between Humanity and Technology
Authors: Horbatiuk Andrii
Published: December 2023

The purpose of this article is to describe and substantiate the concept of technoculture and its importance in the context of contemporary philosophical and sociocultural directions, particularly transhumanism. The research methodology involves applying various levels: analytical, to immerse into the problematics of the chosen scientific research theme and synthesise acquired knowledge; and employing a full spectrum of methods (cultural, psychological, hermeneutic, historical, theoretical generalisation) to comprehensively understand the stated issue. The scientific novelty lies in identifying technological determinism in modern currents of humanism and its argumentation through the definition of technoculture. Conclusions. In the publication, it is argued that the formation of new currents in humanism, such as transhumanism, which are based on the use of technology and its impact on sociocultural processes, leads to the emergence of a new concept – technoculture. Technoculture reflects our approach to technology not just as tools, but also as essential elements of our culture that shape our worldview and our role in it. Transhumanism, on its part, focuses on the capabilities of technologies in changing the essence of humanity. It examines technologies not only as means to improve life, but also as tools for radical restructuring and adaptation of human existence, starting from biological to cognitive characteristics. These two currents highlight the interdependence between humans and technology, but also point to the complexity and contentiousness of this interaction.
Keywords: technoculture, transhumanism, postmodernism, modern technologies.
Trauma & Hysteria in Fin De Siècle European Culture (Part 2).
Authors: Kopiievska Olha
Published: December 2023

The purpose of the article is to analyse the reasons for the actualisation of the issues of trauma and hysteria in the European culture of the fin de siècle; to identify the role of aesthetisation, theatricalisation and photography in the commodification of mental illness. The research methodology includes the general scientific principles of systematisation and generalisation of the problem under study, which made it possible to identify and scientifically substantiate existing theories and conceptual approaches to understanding the content of the concepts of "trauma", "psychological trauma", "hysteria", "mental illness". The application of the axiological approach made it possible to identify interdisciplinary nature and personalised cultural scientific positions in the theories under consideration. The use of the analytical method led to the establishment of conceptual foundations for further scientific perspectives on the problematisation of trauma, psychological trauma, hysteria as mental illnesses in the optics of cultural knowledge. The scientific novelty lies in the implementation of cultural reflection to clarify the socio-cultural determinants of the spread of hysteria and psychological trauma as mental illnesses. Conclusions. The article deals with the issues related to the understanding of the content of hysteria and trauma in the culture of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries not as purely medical, but as socio-cultural phenomena. The aestheticisation, theatricalisation, and commodification of mental illnesses, initiated by the example of J.-M. Charcot's hysteria, actualised and stimulated their discussion from new perspectives, opened up new discursive spaces of research: psychoanalytic, social, artistic, aesthetic, which did not exist in their pure form but were combined with each other. In the fin de siècle culture, hysteria and trauma are embedded in the structure of the subjective and are defined through processes, events and human perception as a special idea of internalising the world, where the thanatological problematic represents a fundamental feature of culture associated with the anticipation and expectation of the approach of death, with being within the "finitude of human life"; and artistic representations of a split, "hysterical", traumatised personality are embodied in the works of European painters, sculptors, and writers. Photography, as a new way of seeing the world, social and individual existence, symbolised and expressed the connection between science and art, expanded the range of human emotional states and contributed to the commodification of hysteria in the "theatrical spectacles" presented at the Salpetriere Hospital.

Keywords: trauma, hysteria, problematisation of trauma & hysteria, mental illness, aestheticisation, theatricalisation, photography, commodification, European culture, fin de siècle.

Authors: Denysiyuk Zhanna
Published: December 2023

The purpose of the work is to investigate the influence of modernism artistic currents, in particular cubism, in the work of the Ukrainian battle artist L. Perfetskyi, analysing the artistic manner and the relevance of the interpretation of historical events. The research methodology is based on the application of a set of methods: general theoretical – analysis, systematisation, generalisation of the researched sources; historical-retrospective – for studying the stages of artistic creativity and works of the artist; art critic – for the analysis of the general creative style and artistic manner of the artist. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the generalisation and systematisation of the creative heritage of L. Perfetskyi in the realm of battle painting, which vividly reflects the days of the armed struggle of Ukrainians for independence at the beginning of the 20th century; attention is also focused on the relationship between the direct participation of the artist himself in combat operations and his service in the ranks of the Army of the Ukrainian People's Republic with subsequent creative activity, which influenced the formation of the artist's original style in combination with the stylistics of cubism and other modernist searches. Conclusions. As a result of the conducted research, it was established that despite the partial loss of the artist's heritage, those works that have survived testify to the unparalleled talent and artistic originality of the artist, who was a witness of real events and masterfully embodied all that in artistic works. L. Perfetsky joined the cohort of Ukrainian combat artists and at a high artistic level managed to recreate some of the most difficult periods of Ukrainian history, which is supported by his personal view of these events as a direct participant. In addition, from an artistic point of view, the works of L. Perfetskyi are marked by artistic appeals and searches among the modernist European currents of cubism, which was constantly reflected in the increased expression and dynamics of the paintings. All this fills the content of his works with realism, capable of conveying the truth of what has been seen through many decades.

Keywords: L. Perfetskyi, liberation contests, armed struggle, Ukrainian army, battle painting, cubism, modernist currents, works of art.
