PERANAN MAJELIS TAKLIM ÁQO’IDUL KHOMSIN PEKALONGAN TERHADAP FENOMENA TAKFIRISME
Authors: Niam M. Khusnun
Published: March 2022

This article aims to describe, and analyze the role of the majelis taklim ‘Aqo’idul Khomsin on the phenomenon of takfirism. This phenomenon is related to the number of preachers who teach the congregation of religious understanding literally and rigidly. The religious understading like this is the source of intolerance and radical such as being easy to disbelieve people who disagree with them. It is contrary with the Islamic teaching where the right to give the labeling to someone as a kafir is the God. This research used the qualitative research method with the obsevation and interview as the data collection techniques.  The results of the research indicated that the majlis taklim ‘Aqo’idul Khomsin has played an important role in responding the phenomenon of takfirism by giving a true understanding of tauhid which can be understood by giving the rational arguments in “tauhid”  to the congregation.Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan dan menganalisis peranan majelis taklim ‘Aqo’idul Khomsin  terhadap fenomena takfirisme. Fenomena ini terkait dengan banyaknya penceramah yang mengajarkan jama’ahnya dengan pemahaman agama yang literal dan kaku. Pemahaman agama seperti ini merupakan sumber intoleran dan radikal seperti mudah mengkafirkan seseorang yang tidak sepaham dengan mereka. Hal ini bertentangan dengan ajaran Islam di mana hak memberikan label pada seseorang sebagai kafir adalah Allah. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan observasi dan wawancara sebagai teknik pengumpulan data. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa majelis taklim ‘Aqo’idul Khosim telah berperan penting dalam merespon fenomena takfirisme dengan memberikan pemahaman yang benar dalam bertauhid yang bisa dipahami dari pemberian argumen-argumen yang rasional dalam bertauhid terhadap jemaah.

Authors: Izzaty Fadhila , Mugiyono Mugiyono , Herwansyah Herwansyah
Published: March 2022

Gender equality remains a focus point of discourse to continue to be studied and is always associated with religious teachings, including Buddhism. The Buddha taught that women can play an active role in religious rituals and social activities. However, speculations by both religious leaders and Buddhists themselves take second place to women, lower than men. Therefore, this article focuses on explaining how gender equality is in the perspective of⁹ Buddhism and how the existence of Bhikkhuni at Vihara Dharmakirti Palembang is. This field research uses interviews, observations and documentation to obtain the necessary data. The results of this study indicate that the concept of gender equality in Buddhism is not contained in a clear text but the universal teachings of love serve as guidelines. The teaching of love for all creatures, especially humans, emphasizes that both men and women are entitled to equal respect and opportunities. In practice, the teaching on gender equality can be seen in the role of women who can become nuns and lead worship services. Even in social life, women can play an active role and work even as leaders in an organization.Kesetaraan gender tetap menjadi topik diskursus hangat untuk terus dikaji dan selalu berkaitkan dengan ajaran agama, termasuk juga agama Buddha. Sang Buddha mengajarkan bahwa perempuan dapat berperan aktif dalam ritual keagamaan dan aktivitas sosial. Namun, spekulasi pemuka maupun umat Buddha sendiri meletakkan perempuan dalam urutan kedua dan lebih rendah dari laki-laki. Karena itu, artikel ini fokus untuk menjelaskan bagaimana kesetaraan gender dalam perspektif ajaran Buddha dan bagaimana eksistensi Bhikkhuni di Vihara Dharmakirti Palembang. Penelitian lapangan ini menggunakan interview, observasi dan dokumentasi untuk mendapatkan data yang diperlukan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa konsep ajaran gender dalam ajaran Buddha tidak tertuang dalam bentuk teks yang jelas tetapi ajaran kasih yang universal menjadi pedoman. Ajaran tentang kasih kepada semua makhluk terutama manusia, mempertegas bahwa baik laki-laki maupun perempuan berhak mendapatkan penghormatan dan kesempatan yang sama. Dalam praktiknya ajaran tentang kesetaraan gender itu terlihat pada peran perempuan yang dapat menjadi Bhikkhuni dan memimpin kebaktian. Dalam kehidupan sosial pun, perempuan dapat berperan aktif dan berkarya bahkan sebagai pemimpin dalam sebuah organisasi.

Published: March 2022

This study validated the performance of the reverse transcriptase‐polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) based Cepheid Xpert® Xpress SARS-CoV-2 assay against the TIB MOLBIOL E-gene/EAV, a standard laboratory rRT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 assay. Upper and lower respiratory tract samples (nasopharyngeal and nasal swabs, bronchoalveolar lavage, and tracheal aspirate) were obtained from patients suspected to have contracted COVID-19. Results from the Xpert® Xpress and standard rRT-PCR assays were compared for positive and negative agreement and analyzed for precision, reproducibility, 95% confidence intervals, and coefficients of variation. The Xpert® Xpress assay demonstrated 100% agreement with the standard lab rRT-PCR for both upper and lower respiratory tract samples. Both the Xpert® Xpress and lab rRT-CPR identified weakly positive (Ct values 35–39) sample replicates with 100% reproducibility and showed 100% precision in identifying triplicates of upper respiratory tract samples. The single-cartridge Xpert® Xpress system has a short turnaround time and can be employed to improve patient management and hospital bed allocation. Further verification of the system is required before implementation and consideration must be paid to its higher cost and impracticality for high-throughput use.
Electrochemical energy storage on nanoporous copper sponge
Authors: McPherson David J. , Dowd Annette , Arnold Matthew D. , Gentle Angus , Cortie Michael B.
Published: March 2022

A proof-of-principle double-layer symmetrical supercapacitor with nanoporous copper/copper oxide electrodes and an aqueous electrolyte is investigated. The electrodes are manufactured by selective dissolution of Al from a eutectic composition of Cu17.5Al82.5using 5 M NaOH. The ostensible (i.e., net external) capacitance of a symmetrical two-electrode cell with 0.1 M KNO3electrolyte is assessed over a series of charge/discharge cycles and is about 2 F per gram of Cu in this simple prototype. Capacitance varies during a discharge cycle due evidently to the deeply buried surfaces and pseudocapacitive reactions contributing charge toward the end of a discharge cycle. In principle such a device should have very low ohmic losses due to its highly conductive backbone and would be suitable for applications requiring maximum energy efficiency over repeated cycling. The aqueous electrolyte ensures fire safety but this comes at the cost of lower energy content.

Published: March 2022

To assess an effect of vaccination on the level of humoral anti-influenza herd immunity, 2955 sera were collected and analyzed by HIT in the 2019–2020 and 2020–2021 epidemiological seasons. All sera were obtained from healthy adult donors residing in various cities of the Russian Federation. Among them, 1057 volunteers were vaccinated with seasonal influenza trivalent inactivated vaccine. Characteristics of humoral anti-influenza immunity (average geometric antibody titers and the proportion of individuals seropositive for the vaccine viruses) obtained in autumn 2019 and 2020 (1–2 months after vaccination) in vaccinated individuals vs. unvaccinated subjects were found to be markedly higher evidencing about a positive vaccination-related contribution to developing herd immunity against influenza in the preepidemic periods. After the 2019–2020 influenza epidemic, in spring 2020 (6–7 months after vaccination), the levels of antibodies to all vaccine components decreased by 2.6–3.5-fold in vaccinated donors compared to the pre-epidemic period in 2019 autumn. Antibody titers became substantially lower than the protective level (titer by HIT 1/40). At the same time, no significant differences between the groups of vaccinated vs. unvaccinated individuals were observed afterwards. This indicates instability of post-vaccination anti-influenza humoral immunity. As a result, it may decrease an influenza-resistant population cohort of working age on the eve of new epidemic season. The immunogenicity of the inactivated trivalent seasonal influenza vaccine was estimated by HIT while analyzing paired sera obtained from 295 and 112 healthy individuals of various ages vaccinated in autumn 2019 and 2020, respectively. The response to the vaccine was found to be age-related. Children aged 3–14 years vs. older subjects showed a more efficient response. Insufficient immunogenicity of influenza B virus vaccine components was shown. In all age groups, average geometric titers for influenza B virus antibodies were lower (2–8-fold) than for current A(H1N1)pdm09-like strains and influenza A(H3N2) viruses 1–1.5 months post-vaccination. Analyzing vaccine immunogenicity showed a significant inverse relationship between the level of preexisting strain-specific serum antibodies before vaccination and formation of antibodies to the corresponding vaccine virus 1–1.5 months after vaccination. Seroconversion to each vaccine component was remarkably more frequent in individuals with a low preexisting level of antibodies specific to the corresponding virus.

Published: March 2022

The practices of multicultural interaction of the 21st century are quite rich and intense. The issue of adaptation in relation to foreign­speaking children (children of migrants from C.I.S.) becomes acute. The key problem for the teacher, parent and child is the readiness for dialogue, which is based on the acceptance of the other and the stranger in accordance with the principles of tolerant and respectful attitude of people to each other. The object of this article is a multicultural educational environment. To describe the ways of interaction of subjects within it, the concept of “cultural inclusion” is introduced. The authors propose the logic of educational actions in working with foreign­speaking children in conditions of psychological, social and socio­cultural adaptation.

Resumo Objetivo: Analisar fatores associados à redução de atendimentos odontológicos na Atenção Primária à Saúde, durante pandemia de COVID-19 no Brasil. Métodos: Estudo transversal, com cirurgiões-dentistas das unidades básicas de saúde (UBS). O desfecho foi a redução dos atendimentos odontológicos, e as variáveis de exposição, dados sociodemográficos, disponibilidade de equipamentos de proteção individual (EPIs) e medidas adotadas pela UBS na pandemia. Realizou-se regressão de Poisson para determinar razão de prevalências e intervalo de confiança de 95% (IC95%). Resultados: A redução de atendimentos acima de 50% após o início da pandemia foi relatada por 62,6% dos 958 participantes. Adoção de protocolos de biossegurança (RP = 1,04; IC95% 1,01;1,07), disponibilidade de EPIs preconizados por novos protocolos (RP = 0,94; IC95% 0,89;0,99) e adoção da teletriagem (RP = 0,90; IC95% 0,85;0,96) estiveram associados à redução. Conclusão: A disponibilização dos novos EPIs e a implementação da teletriagem nas UBS parecem ter minimizado a redução dos atendimentos odontológicos após o início da pandemia.
Characterisation of soil deformation over wide strain ranges in triaxial test with high-precision stereophotogrammetry
Authors: Nishimura Satoshi
Published: March 2022

Stereophotogrammetry was adopted as a means to measure three-dimensional displacements of a soil specimen surface in triaxial tests. New developments include an efficient algorithm that resolves the relative displacements with high precision to the order of 10−3 mm, and strains in common-sized soil specimens to the order of 10−3%, while correcting for ray refraction effects caused by the pressure cell wall and water. The system, requiring only sets of compact-type digital cameras as hardware, allows a stiffness–strain curve to be determined over wide strain ranges spanning from 10−3% to virtually any large strain with a fixed configuration. This paper explains the proposed image analysis processes, which combine a ray tracing formulation by Zhang and co-workers, particle tracking velocimetry and sub-pixel digital image correlation in efficiently deriving accurate and precise relative displacements. Rigorous assessment of the accuracy and precision was conducted. As a demonstration, two undrained triaxial compression tests on reconstituted clay were performed with and without end lubrication. Both for small-strain (<0·05%) axial loading–unloading cycles and for monotonic loading to large axial strain (15%), the strain development was tracked and the specimen behaviour was characterised. These tests demonstrate that the new technique can be a useful option in a soil laboratory both for research and practice.

Published: March 2022

This paper presents the results from a systematic investigation into the effects of stress level, penetrometer diameter, penetration depth and relative density on the end resistance (qc) measured in centrifuge-scale cone penetration tests (CPTs) in a variety of normally consolidated siliceous and carbonate sands. Simple empirical formulations are developed that provide a good description of all measurements and that are consistent with expressions developed in calibration chambers and at field scale. The formulations address the significant discrepancies seen between centrifuge and field scale qc profiles and enable development of qc-based correlations for centrifuge tests that are applicable at full scale, as well as providing a means to interpret very shallow CPTs in the field.
Estimation of conflicting traffic volume using spatiotemporal factor
Authors: Khan Tathagatha , Mohapatra Smruti Sourava , Dey Partha Pratim
Published: March 2022

The conflicting traffic volume (CTV) is one of the crucial parameters for the estimation of U-turn capacity at a mid-block median opening (MBMO). Therefore, in this work, CTVs at MBMOs were estimated. A simple yet practical methodology was developed and a parameter called the spatiotemporal conflict factor was introduced. In order to estimate the spatial conflict factor, the entire carriageway width was divided into two zones – the spatial conflict zone and the spatial no-conflict zone. Spatial conflict factors were estimated by studying the placement characteristics of approaching through traffic and U-turning traffic. Subsequently, temporal conflict factors were estimated based on the no-conflict time gap and possible slowdown sections. The spatiotemporal conflict factors and the resulting CTVs were then calculated for MBMOs in six-lane and four-lane roads. The tangible outcome of this investigation is the ability to estimate the realistic capacity values of median openings, which will be beneficial for traffic planners in the efficient management of traffic for improved levels of service and safety.

Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate use of breast cancer screening methods by women in our society and the affecting factors.

Material and Method: 281 women aged 40 and over were included in the study. A sociodemographic data form, Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Form and the Champion’s Health Belief Model Scale were administered to the participants through face-to-face interview technique.

Results: It was found that most of the participants knew the breast cancer screening methods but used the screening methods at a low rate. The main reason affecting their use of screening methods was whether there was a complaint or not. The rate of mammography was found to be significantly higher among those who performed breast self-examination (p=0.011). When the Champion’s Health Belief Model Scale form was examined, it was found that the participants got the highest points from the self-efficacy subscale of breast self-examination, and the lowest points from the perceived susceptibility subscale.

Conclusion: It was observed that the use of any screening method and breast cancer risk factors affected health beliefs regards to the use of screening methods.

Objectives: It is known that vitamins have some effects such as suppressing viral replication, developing anti-inflammatory responses and that they increase immunity in COVID-19. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the vitamin B12 (Vit B12) serum levels and the prognosis of the disease in patients with COVID-19.

Material and Method: A total of 408 participants were included in the study. Sociodemographic information such as age, educational status, serum vitamin B12 levels, hemogram parameters, and clinical findings of the patients who were admitted for follow-up after the end of COVID-19 infection was evaluated retrospectively. Serum vitamin B12 level between 150-200 pg/mL was assessed as mild deficiency, the value between 100-150 pg/mL as severe deficiency and the value under 100 pg/mL as extremely severe deficiency.

Results: Median age of the participants was 44.51 (18-88) years. The median Vit B12 level of the patients was 179.50 (75-641). Of the patients, 248 (60.70%) had Vit B12 deficiency. The rates of pneumonia and hospitalization were higher and fatigue and loss of taste/smell were more in patients with Vit B12 deficiency. NLR and PLR which are the inflammatory markers were higher in patients with Vit B12 deficiency. The rates of pneumonia and hospitalization were the highest in the severe Vit B12 deficiency group among the Vit B12 deficiency groups.

Conclusion: The clinical progression was worse in COVID-19 patients with Vit B12 deficiency than those who had no Vit B12 deficiency. Therefore, it has been concluded that Vitamin B12 supplement can have positive effects on COVID-19 patients; however, more comprehensive further studies with longer duration and higher number of patients are needed.

El contenido de la Constitución Política de Colombia de 1991 ha sido extensamente estudiado en la dogmática constitucional colombiana. En este libro, analizamos varios problemas que versan sobre el significado de la constitución y el alcance que tienen algunos de sus principios y derechos funda-mentales. El texto está estructurado en tres apartados. En la primera parte, analizamos cuestiones relacionadas con el significado de la Constitución. Consideramos el problema de los desacuerdos que origina la interpretación de disposiciones constitucionales sobre derechos de parejas del mismo sexo en la jurisprudencia del Tribunal Constitucional español y de la Corte Constitucional colom-biana. Además, abordamos las dificultades que genera la identificación de elementos esenciales de la constitución vigente a través del test de sustitución creado por la Corte Constitucional. En la segunda parte, nos ocupamos de los principios de colaboración armónica y el debido proceso. La colaboración armónica es estudiada desde las concepciones clásicas del pensamiento jurídico y el debido proceso a partir de la incidencia que tuvo el neoconstitucionalismo sobre conceptos básicos de la dogmática procesal. En la tercera parte, proponemos un análisis sobre los derechos de las víctimas y el consentimiento informado en el ámbito médico. Proponemos una reflexión acerca de los derechos a la reparación, a la participación política y a la memoria de las víctimas del conflicto armado en una democracia. Finalmente, examinamos la naturaleza del consentimiento informado y su relación con los derechos fundamentales. En cada capítulo planteamos propuestas de análisis sobre el alcance que tienen los desacuerdos interpretativos, los elementos definitorios, los principios y los derechos en la constitución vigente.

Introduction The use of e-cigarettes has increased rapidly around the world including in Malaysia. However, a significant proportion of people who started using e-cigarettes later discontinued using them. The aim of this study is to identify prevalence of former e-cigarette use and factors associated with quitting, among Malaysian adults. Methods This study is a part of a national household survey examining the use of e-cigarettes among Malaysian adults aged 18 years and above in 2016. A multistage stratified cluster sampling method was used in the survey. A bilingual (Malay and English) structured questionnaire was used and data was collected via face-to-face interview. Prevalence of current e-cigarette use and former e-cigarette use were determined. A multiple logistic regression model was used to identify factors associated with quitting e-cigarettes. Results A total of 4,288 adults participated in the survey, where 110 (3.2%) and 289 (8.6%) were identified as current and former e-cigarette users respectively. The following factors were significantly associated with quitting e-cigarette use: e-cigarette users who had no exposure to e-cigarettes at the workplace (aOR = 2.70; 95% CI: 1.39, 5.24); the perception that e-cigarette is more harmful to others compared to tobacco smoke (aOR = 2.46; 95% CI: 1.22, 4.97); and the perception that e-cigarettes do not help people to maintain cigarette abstinence (aOR = 2.19; 95% CI: 1.23, 3.92). Conclusions This study contributes to a better understanding of the factors associated with cessation of e-cigarettes. Findings from this study can assist any e-cigarette cessation intervention measures.

Published: March 2022

Introduction: Heatwave can increase the risk for heat-related illnesses and mortality. Many studies showed certain population are vulnerable to heatwave such as elderly, children and low-income households. However, the findings were inconsistent. Therefore, this systematic review provides a comprehensive review on heatwave impact and vulnerability factors on the mortality and morbidity impacts. Methodology: Five electronic databases (Pubmed, Ebsco Host, WOS, OVID Medline and Scopus) were primary searching tools to retrieve relevant literatures. This systematic review used the Medical Subject Heading (MESH) terms and keywords. An additional searching tool (Google Scholar) was used to seek further information and minimize missed evidence. We selected the literature based on the inclusion criteria (empirical full-text article, English language and published between 2010-2021). Two authors were assigned in each step of the process, starting from screening of the title, abstract and full text based on the inclusion criteria, data extraction and quality appraisal. Mixed-Method Appraisal Tool (MMAT) was utilized to assess the quality of selected articles. Thematic analysis and narrative approach were used to describe the findings.

Introduction: Occupational sharps injury remains a never-ending issue faced by healthcare workers (HCWs). There were several types of post-exposure management available. Thus, it was hoped that a narrative overview could further illuminate this. Methodology: A search was conducted to review published and unpublished studies through searches of online databases (i.e., PubMed/MEDLINE, Google Scholar, Google search and Science Direct) on occupational sharps injury management, including bloodborne diseases, post-exposure management and rationale of the follow-up interval. Results: Working in a healthcare setting, sharps appeared to be an inevitable hazard faced every day by individual HCWs. While PEP was available for HIV and Hepatitis B, none was available for Hepatitis C, albeit the latter seemed to have curative treatment for it. Conclusion: We hoped that this narrative overview could provide an impetus towards the understanding of post-exposure management in our local healthcare setting.

Purpose of the study. To describe the theoretical foundations and practical application of design thinking technology in the activities of a medical organization as a tool for managing interaction with patients to improve the provision of medical care for cardiovascular diseases.

Materials and methods.The work was carried out on the basis of the Research Institute for Complex Issues of Cardiovascular Diseases (Kemerovo). When using methods of sociological research (questioning, content analysis). In the period from 2015 to 2020, 43865 patients were treated at the institution, of which 16886 were questioned. The analysis of domestic and foreign literature, as well as regulatory documents was carried out for the period from 2015 to 2020 using the keywords: "design thinking", "Service design", "design thinking in medicine."

Results. The possibility of adapting the technology of design thinking to medical and diagnostic activities in research institutes, namely to the process of assessing patient satisfaction, is shown. Due to the presence of an effective mechanism for managing interaction with patients, in the research institute in the period from 2011 to 2020, there was a decrease in justified complaints (more than 2 times), and the level of patient satisfaction reaches target values.

Conclusion. Design Thinking is part of the patient management process as an initial step in assessing patient satisfaction. The described technology can be used by any medical organization.

Purpose of the study. To find out the abilities of multispiral computed tomography (MSCT) using intravenous bolus injection in detecting and preoperative esophago-gastric junction cancer staging in order to improve preoperative diagnosis of this pathological condition.

Materials and methods. The patients, diagnosed esophago-gastric junction cancer (n1 = 76), esophagus (n2 = 27) and medically fit people’s (n3 = 30) findings of investigating have been analyzed. All patients went through computed tomography on Light Speed VEX Plus and Light Speed RT 16 ("GE", The USA). The findings of MSCT have been compared with anatomical data, which were got after histomorphologic study of post-operation and endoscopic recruitment material.

Results. Characteristic MSCT signs of the wall of the esophageal-gastric junction (EGJ) were revealed in healthy individuals, with esophagitis and cancer. The thickness of esophagus paries in normal conditions and in case of esophagitis and EGJ cancer is: 5.4 ± 1.01 mm, 10.36 ± 1.85 mm, 22.53 ± 8.19 mm (p < 0.001). The external diameter of the abdominal part of esophagus in the normal condition is 14.2 ± 1.68 mm, in case of esophagitis is 17.96 ± 3.7 mm, EGJ cancer is 27.9 ± 9.48 mm (p < 0.001). The main statistically significant (p < 0.001) qualitative character of esophago-gastric junction canser were: non-visualization of mucic in afflicted areas (96.8 %), bosselated upper and lower contours of narrowing (75.2 %), dissymmetric parries pachymenia (70.4 %), blunt-edged outer contours (58.4 %), cotyloid suprastenotic esophageal distensibility (45.6 %). The delicacy depended on the degree of damage delicacy and was at the stage Т1 – 66.7 %, Т2 – 76.5 %, Т3 – 77.8 %, Т4а – 86.2 %, Т4b –100.0 %, in general, diagnostic accuracy of the method in EGJ cancer Т-staging was 81.6 %.

Conclusion. The results of the work showed that the inclusion of MSCT with intravenous bolus contrast in the algorithm of the study of patients with suspected tumor pathology of the EGJ will improve the diagnosis of cancer of the EGJ.
SOCIAL EXISTENCE AS A CONDITION FOR THE CREATION AND REPRODUCTION OF A SUBJECT
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Chuiko Vadym
Published: March 2022

When we state the existence of a reality that affects a person’s existence and demonstrates his inability to influence this reality in a positive way, we find a lack of subjectivity. In our instance, however, we are not discussing the concept of «death of the subject,» but rather the recognition of the loss of subjectivity and the search for means to reproduce it. Thus, by recalling the concept of «actor,» the concept of «man as Sovereign» is substantiated. In contrast to the juristic interpretation found in international law, I propose to enter a definition of sovereignty as an entity without which existence is impossible. In particular, the Indo-European essence of human existence represents the sovereignty of the individual, while others represent the family, group, tribe, ethnic group, state, supreme hierarch, and so on. Substantially, sovereignty implies knowledge of the properties of other (real knowledge of existence). This study allowed us to substantiate that the ability to form responsible agreements reveals a person who has the will and can be defined by the term «sovereign». In turn, agreements are mostly made with those who cannot be ignored. Therefore, a complementary connection with objective circumstances is realized, in which culture, knowledge, science and intellect are components of increasing sovereignty. Because sovereignty manifests itself in society in the form of will, it is a necessary component of the sovereign’s integrity, which manifests itself in an act of trust or distrust.
HUMANITARIAN POLICY IN THE DIMENSION OF MECHANISMS ENSURING INFORMATION SECURITY OF UKRAINE
Authors:   National Institute for Strategic Studies, Pashkovskyi Viacheslav
Published: March 2022

Humanitarian policy is seen as an objective area of national security policy, covering a wide range of its areas, including, above all, information. It is generally accepted that the humanitarian sphere, connected with the national tendencies of Ukrainian society, has become the object of Russia’s most brutal and massive propaganda campaign to weaken Ukraine’s European prospects by using hybrid warfare tactics. It was found that the hybrid war is a combination of mostly two fronts — armed, direct military action of the Russian Federation aimed at eliminating Ukrainian statehood or capturing some of its territories, and a number of other formats — cultural, demographic, economic, political, information, etc.. Humanitarian aggression is less visible, but it has a clear goal — to eliminate our national and civic identity. Objects struck on the humanitarian front must be destroyed not physically but morally. A humanitarian blow is a blow not on objects, but on the value grounds of belonging to the ukrainian one. It is substantiated that in the aspect of problems considered in the measurement of organizational and functional mechanisms of information security of Ukraine — humanitarian policy, able through language-educational and cultural-educational aspects — as the basis of national consciousness — to act as a deterrent to information aggression. Research identifies positive steps of the state and civil society in the field of humanitarian policy, along with problematic aspects, including: lack of a state program to promote the acquisition of the state language in accordance with the Law of Ukraine «On ensuring the functioning of ukrainian language as a official language»; lack of a holistic approach to national-oriented cultural policy; there is a noticeable disconnection of the national-patriotic educational process with the educational (socio-political, historical) training of youth and the public.
PROSPECTS FOR COOPERATION BETWEEN CHINA AND UKRAINE IN THE FRAMEWORK «OF THE BELT AND ROAD INITIATIVE»
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Simonov Mykyta
Published: March 2022

The article considered the prospects of political and economic cooperation between China and Ukraine in the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative. This initiative is a global strategy for infrastructure development and trade and economic partnership between China and other countries. The positive and negative aspects of possible political cooperation between Ukraine and China in the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative and the historical preconditions of such a partnership are analyzed. Future prospects and main vectors for further development of cooperation between Ukraine and China have been identified. It is proved that cooperation between Ukraine and China in the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative can be mutually beneficial for both countries. By participating in such an initiative, Ukraine can contribute to the creation of a new world economic order, and postponing the definition of priorities in this area may lead to the removal of Ukraine from a profitable partnership and, consequently, the lack of economic growth in Ukraine. It is stated that Ukraine can be one of China's key partners due to its great industrial, scientific and technological potential, as well as its geographical location. These factors coincide with the global ideas of the Belt and Road Initiative, and Ukraine has great chances to be a part of new political and economic globalization.
NATURALISTIC ARGUMENTATION IN ETHICS
Authors:   Kyiv National Economic University named after Vadym Hetman, Derkach Vadim
Published: March 2022

The principles of the metaethical position of critical naturalism on the basis of understanding the schemes of naturalistic argumentation in ethics are developed. Naturalism in its naive form proceeds either from the identification of the natural with the goodness (with the uncertainty of the criterion of «naturalness»), or reduces this criterion to describe some objective conditions of existence as a model to motivate the agent of rational decision in the face of choice and conflict. In addition, the opposition between nature and culture, which is often the basis of critiques of naturalism, is contrived as a way to justify a valid model of behavior as appropriate, based on some objective law that is known a priori. However, it is impossible to derive a universal principle from such empirical data. Thus, moral norms are fundamentally relative, but their social construction can be understood as part of natural reality. At the same time, substantiation of norms of socially acceptable behavior of an individual in his attitude to other members of the community by addressing nature is possible only as a study of the circumstances under which a certain model of behavior arises and is established as a precedent for conflict resolution. «Nature» in this sense does not outline universal principles to which, as individual cases, life circumstances must necessarily be subject. Moral norms do not follow from natural law or any other law. The position of critical naturalism removes from naturalistic argumentation the naive identification of the goodness with the natural, as well as attempts to bring the moral law to some natural fact, the knowledge of which motivates to behave in a certain way as following moral duty. Empirical research and modeling in thought experiment as the basis of ethics as a science at the intersection of evolutionary biology and anthropology, focused on making precedent decisions and justifying the acceptability of the norm is to analyze the hypothetical consequences of this acceptance by the community. In this case, the objective condition that limits the range of possible solutions is that the norm, which reduces the viability of the bearer of the norm, thus eliminates itself. This determines the metaethical principle of love of life.
