Scenography by Tadei Ryndzak: traditions and inspiration
Authors: Kostyuk Iryna , Leus Valeria
Published: January 2025

. The work of Tadei Ryndzak – a Ukrainian scenographer, People's Artist of Ukraine, who has been working at the Lviv National Academic Theater of Opera and Ballet named after Solomiya Krushelnytska for more than 55 years - has been studied.
In the creative work of the artist, the influences of traditions and their synthesis with innovations were determined through the outlining of Lysikov methods in the creative manner of the scenographer. It has been proven that the pictorial reproduction of theatrical scenes by both artists is significantly different: the principles of using Ye. Lysyk's methods lie rather in views on life, in the sequence and subtleties during the work process, technological methods of creating a canvas, decorative construction, etc. It has been observed that each scenographic project of T. Ryndzak contains both traditional and innovative elements. It is substantiated that among the more traditional projects we can name the scenographies for the productions "Nabucco", "Zaporozhets za Danube", "Taras Bulba", "Carmina Burana", "La Traviata". The innovative projects of T. Ryndzak defined scenographic solutions for the productions "Bohdan Khmelnytskyi", "Carmen", "Masquerade Ball", "Mykyta's Fox". The author's innovation here consists in the integration of personal experiences into the theatrical setting ("Bohdan Khmelnytskyi"), the choice of an unusual element from the plot as the main pictorial object ("Carmen"), a modern vision and different from the traditional idea of a certain atmosphere where the scene takes place action ("Mykyta Fox", "Masquerade Ball", "Carmen").
A number of scenographies were noted, in which a synthesis of traditions and innovations took place: the artistic design of "The Return of the Butterfly" as a classic reproduction of the theater space for the audience, but with a noticeable accent in the center of the composition, which each audience perceives differently; "Ayida" – there is a sketch for the production, where the influence of Ye. Lysyk's work can be clearly traced, but the final result is still embodied in the clear creative manner of T. Ryndzak; "Yaroslav Mudryi", which depicts traditional Ukrainian architecture, but the perception of the composition reaches a special level of attention due to the principles of compositional construction used.
The Effects of Emerging Trade Patterns in Agikuyu Women’s Indigenous Food Crops on Food Security in Nyeri County from 1902 To 1980
Authors: Gitonga Julius Mathenge
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this paper was to assess the effect of emerging trade patterns in women’s indigenous food crops on food security from 1902 to 1980. This study was conducted in three sub-counties: Kieni East, Mathira East, and Nyeri Central. Data was collected from both primary and secondary sources. The research employed a historical research design based on qualitative procedures. The design enabled the researcher to explain, describe and give a historical analysis of the findings. This being a historical study, non-probability sampling procedures were used such as purposive and snowball sampling techniques to gather relevant information. A sample size threshold of 54 respondents was interviewed and the main research instruments were the interview guide and focus group discussion. Data for this study was analyzed qualitatively using documentary content analysis, description and narration of the historical events. Data was also corroborated and both context and content analysis were done to ensure the reliability and validity of the information. Interpretation was done within the framework of Marxist feminist theory and articulation theory. The study established that the women’s local food crops trade system has not been static. The colonial capitalist economic practices brought about profound changes in the economic and social fabric of Nyeri County and significantly undermined the women’s local trade. This resulted in both positive and negative influences on the dimensions of food security in the study area. It was established that the indigenous food crops that women exchanged in the local markets were well adapted to local conditions, sustainably available and provided essential nutrients necessary for the health and well-being of the community. The findings of this study illustrate the pivotal role of Agikuyu women in local trade systems and a substantial contribution to food security in Nyeri County. The study concludes that the Ministry of Trade should come up with deliberate measures that will integrate women’s local trade into the country’s economic policies and practices and also consider the valuable contribution of women's local trade in mitigating food shortage and ensuring eradication of extreme poverty and hunger

Sports teams in facing a match are often faced with the pressure to win, this can trigger competitive anxiety in its members. Group Cohesion is a state of group members who are compact and uphold the value of solidarity. While competitive anxiety is a negative emotional reaction in athletes that arises when their self-esteem is threatened because of a match that is considered difficult. This study aims to determine the relationship between group cohesion and competitive anxiety in students who join sports organizations in Jakarta. The measuring instruments used in this study are the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2R (CSAI-2R) and The Group Environment Questionnaire. The sampling technique in this study used Purposive sampling with a total sample of 353 active students of sports organizations in Jakarta. Data processing was carried out using SPSS 25 for Windows. From the results of data processing, it was found that there is a negative relationship between group cohesion and competitive anxiety, namely p value = .000 and r value = -.471. This means that if individuals with high group cohesion then competitive anxiety will be low.  In other words, the stronger the group bond, the less likely members are to feel anxious when facing a match.

Authors: Rizal Izzati
Published: January 2025

Trust is a crucial element in the audit process that impacts the quality and success of audits. This study explores the application of social penetration theory as a strategy to build trust between auditors and auditees. The theory illustrates that interpersonal relationships develop through openness and information exchange. In the audit context, increased openness facilitates more effective communication, accelerates data collection, and reduces conflicts.The findings indicate that strong trust enhances transparency and audit quality. Competent and ethical auditors gain trust more easily, while respected auditees are more cooperative. The study recommends training in interpersonal skills for auditors and regular assessments of trust relationships. Implementing this approach will strengthen the audit process and enhance organizational accountability.

Media Representation and Evaluation of
Non-travelers
Authors: Reiter Laura , Schmude Jürgen
Published: January 2025

Although about a quarter of the German population are non-travelers, the economic and social consequences that may result from non-travel are still unexplored. For this reason, this study aims to examine via a media analysis the representation and evaluation of non-travelers in German newspapers since the turn of the millennium and gain first insights into the social consequences that non-travelers face. By conducting a discourse analysis, a part of the social reality of non-travelers can be reconstructed. The study concludes that travel is predominantly constructed as a norm in the media and that deviation from this norm leads to negative social sanctions. Over the last 20 years, however, mainly three events have had an impact on the media's assessment of non-travel: the terrorist attacks of 9/11 in 2001, the financial crisis in 2008-09 and the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020-21. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a paradigm shift in the evaluation of the phenomenon of non-travel, during which a normalization process of non-travel occurred, at least temporarily. This media analysis thus provides the first indications of the social consequences for non-travelers in the past 20 years in Germany.

Military Expenditure on Tourism Development
Authors: Rej Soumen , Hossain Emran , Bandyopadhyay Arunava , Saba Charles Shaaba , Kumar Sunil , Mahalik Mantu Kumar
Published: January 2025

This study evaluates the asymmetric effects of terrorist attacks and military spending on India's tourism sector by considering gross capital formation and foreign direct investment inflows in the tourism function as controlled variables. Considering the period 1980 to 2017, we employed a non-linear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) model and frequency domain causality. This study found that a 1% positive (negative) shock in the partial sum of the terrorist incidents would decrease (increase) the tourist arrivals by 0.17% (0.19%), respectively. However, a positive shock in the partial sum of military spending would enhance tourist arrivals, while a negative shock would lower them both in the short and long run. In addition, gross capital formation and foreign direct investment inflows favourably influence India's tourism development in the long run. The findings from frequency domain casualty also resonate with this study's short-run and long-run findings.
Authenticity, Landscape and Tourism
Authors: Kühne Olaf , Vogler Ralf , Berr Karsten
Published: January 2025

Both tourism and landscape academia heavily and passionately debate the authentic nature of both destination experiences and appearances. This paper attempts to bridge the gap between the concept of authenticity in landscape research and that in tourism studies. Using the landscape-related derivation of Popper's three world theory, the authors analyse various tourism and landscape-related phenomena that are typically used to determine authenticity in the two disciplines. As a result, they conclude that there is no such thing as an objectively authentic tourist experience, just as there is no such thing as an objectively authentic landscape. The appreciation of each is attained through the eyes and the perspective of the viewer and ultimately leads to a (social) construction of the authentic.
Women Informal
Business Tourists in Urban Southern Africa
Authors: Rogerson Christian M. , Rogerson Jayne M.
Published: January 2025

Across sub-Saharan Africa, a substantial economy benefits from informal business tourism. In Southern Africa, the central element in informal business tourism is women's activities, who are informal cross-border shoppers and traders. The article investigates this neglected aspect of informal business tourism and unpacks the organisation of the key circuits of informal business tourism in urban Southern Africa. Major findings disclose that Johannesburg is established as the pivot of these regional shopping circuits. In the post-apartheid period, an infrastructure emerged in the inner city of Johannesburg to facilitate the operations of informal business tourists. The entrepôt operates as a transit tourism space, a conduit for channelling mainly Chinese products to destinations elsewhere in Africa. It is a space that connects the formal to the informal and the local to the global. Arguably, the practices of these informal business tourists are shaping new economic spaces in urban Southern Africa. The drivers and multiple challenges of women participants are explored through a synthesis of the recorded experiences of Zimbabwean women.

This research paper analyses the influence of Social Media Influencers (SMIs) on international travel decision-making. The study attempts to understand the extent of impact SMIs have on different stages of the international travel decision-making process and to identify factors of the characteristics of SMIs that influence travellers' decision-making. The findings suggest that SMIs have distinct impacts on people's behaviours and decisions in each international travel decision-making stage. Post-travel behaviour is the stage in which SMIs influence people the most. Six characteristics of the SMIs were identified: Credibility and trustworthiness, popularity and acceptance, personality and appearance, expertise and experience, frequency of posts, and interaction with followers. Logistic regression analysis revealed that all the identified characteristics do not have the same influence on the international travel decision-making process. The direction and magnitude of the impact of these factors are uncovered through this research.
On a Systematic Approach to the Use of Coaching Management by Organizations in a Modern Competitive Environment
Authors:   Synergy University, Dmitriev Anton G.
Published: January 2025

The relevance of the topic is due to the increasing role of coaching in improving the efficiency of management and adaptation of the organization’s employees to changes in its competitive environment. One of the key aspects of the competitive environment of the organization is the speed of change. Sustainable competitive advantage is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve, since innovations are quickly copied by competitors. In such an environment, the success of an organization depends not only on technology or market strategies, but also on the level of competence and flexibility of its employees, here coaching plays a decisive role. The article is devoted to the substantiation of the methodological approach to the study of coaching management: key aspects related to the system analysis of this phenomenon and its impact on management processes and competitiveness in a modern organization are considered. The novelty of the research results lies in the choice of an approach to the study of coaching management in an organization, including various approaches, such as system, project and personality-oriented, which allows for a comprehensive assessment of the impact of coaching on organizational processes aimed at increasing the competitiveness of the organization, as well as the development of models for assessing the impact of coaching management on competitiveness and work behavior. The main methods used in the work include modeling, system analysis and design of interactions of coaching with other management practices. During the study, the main characteristics of coaching management were identified, such as adaptability, focus on results and dynamism, as well as their impact on work behavior and organizational changes. The results of the study confirm that the use of an integrated methodological approach contributes to a deeper understanding of coaching as a management tool. The theoretical significance of the study lies in the development of approaches to the study of coaching management in a competitive environment, and the practical significance lies in proposals for the implementation of coaching practices to improve managerial efficiency and competitiveness in modern organizations.

Measuring the abundances of carbon- and oxygen-bearing molecules has been a primary focus in studying the atmospheres of hot Jupiters, as doing so can help constrain the carbon-to-oxygen (C/O) ratio. The C/O ratio can help reveal the evolution and formation pathways of hot Jupiters and provide a strong understanding of the atmospheric composition. In the last decade, high-resolution spectral analyses have become increasingly useful in measuring precise abundances of several carbon- and oxygen-bearing molecules. This allows for a more precise constraint of the C/O ratio. We present four transits of the hot Jupiter WASP-43b observed between 1.45 and 2.45 μm with the high-resolution Immersion GRating InfraRed Spectrometer on the Gemini-S telescope. We detected H2O at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3.51. We tested for the presence of CH4, CO, and CO2, but we did not detect these carbon-bearing species. We ran a retrieval for all four molecules and obtained a water abundance of

A Semi-analytical Model for Stellar Evolution in AGN Disks
Authors: Dittmann Alexander J. , Cantiello Matteo
Published: January 2025

Disks of gas accreting onto supermassive black holes may host numerous stellar-mass objects, formed within the disk or captured from a nuclear star cluster. We present a simplified model of stellar evolution in these dense environments, which exhibits exceptional agreement with full stellar evolution calculations at a minuscule fraction of the cost. Although the model presented here is limited to stars burning hydrogen in their cores, it is sufficient to determine the evolutionary fate of disk-embedded stars: whether they proceed to later stages of nuclear burning and leave behind a compact remnant, reach a quasi-steady state where mass loss and accretion balance one another, or whether accretion proceeds faster than stellar structure can adjust, causing a runaway. We highlight how various disk parameters and phenomena such as gap opening affect stellar evolution outcomes. We also highlight how our model can accommodate time-varying conditions, such as those experienced by a star on an eccentric orbit, and can couple to N-body integrations. This model will enable more detailed studies of stellar populations and their interaction with accretion disks than have previously been possible.
Force Analysis of Venus’s Induced Magnetosphere: A Multifluid Hall–Magnetohydrodynamics Study

Published: January 2025

Understanding which processes control atmospheric escape and the loss of water from planetary environments is crucial. The ESA’s Venus Express spacecraft has observed a significant depletion in Venus’s upper atmosphere, driven by the solar wind. In such scenarios, the electromagnetic force can accelerate planetary ions to energies that allow them to escape from the planet. However, it is extremely challenging to directly measure electromagnetic forces on planetary ions. Here we present a 3D multifluid Hall–magnetohydrodynamics simulation model to investigate electromagnetic force terms and the effects of each term on solar wind plasma and planetary ions. We find that the total electromagnetic force reaches its peak near the bow shock and the magnetic pileup boundary, with obvious asymmetric characteristics, which slows down the solar wind plasma and compresses the heavy ions toward Venus. In addition, the morphology of the convection electric field force shows obvious north–south asymmetry, which leads to the formation of asymmetric structures and plasma flows in the Venusian magnetotail. The electromagnetic force patterns obtained by simulation are consistent with the results and speculation from observations, suggesting that the multifluid model developed here has substantial capacity in further analysis regarding planetary ion escape.
The Arizona Molecular ISM Survey with the SMT: Variations in the CO(2–1)/CO(1–0) Line Ratio across the Galaxy Population
Authors: Keenan Ryan P. , Marrone Daniel P. , Keating Garrett K.
Published: January 2025

The J = 1 → 0 spectral line of carbon monoxide (CO(1–0)) is the canonical tracer of molecular gas. However, CO(2–1) is frequently used in its place, following the assumption that the higher-energy line can be used to infer the CO(1–0) luminosity and molecular gas mass. The use of CO(2–1) depends on a knowledge of the ratio between CO(2–1) and CO(1–0) luminosities, r
21. Here, we present galaxy-integrated r
21 measurements for 122 galaxies spanning stellar masses from 109 to 1011.5
M
⊙ and star formation rates (SFRs) from 0.08 to 35 M
⊙ yr−1. We find strong trends between r
21 and SFR, SFR surface density, star formation efficiency, and distance from the star formation main sequence (SFMS). We show that the assumption of a constant r
21 can introduce biases into the molecular gas trends in galaxy population studies and demonstrate how this affects the recovery of important galaxy scaling relations, including the Kennicutt–Schmidt law and the relation between SFMS offset and star formation efficiency. We provide a prescription that accounts for variations in r
21 as a function of SFR and can be used to convert between CO(2–1) and CO(1–0) when only one line is available. Our prescription matches variations in r
21 for both AMISS and literature samples and can be used to derive more accurate gas masses from CO(2–1) observations.
Merger Response of Halo Anisotropy Properties
Authors: Wang Kuan , Mansfield Philip , Anbajagane Dhayaa , Avestruz Camille
Published: January 2025

Anisotropy properties—halo spin, shape, position offset, velocity offset, and orientation—are an important family of dark matter halo properties that indicate the level of directional variation of the internal structures of halos. These properties reflect the dynamical state of halos, which in turn depends on the mass assembly history. In this work, we study the evolution of anisotropy properties in response to merger activity using the IllustrisTNG simulations. We find that the response trajectories of the anisotropy properties significantly deviate from secular evolution. These trajectories have the same qualitative features and timescales across a wide range of merger and host properties. We propose explanations for the behavior of these properties and connect their evolution to the relevant stages of merger dynamics. We measure the relevant dynamical timescales. We also explore the dependence of the strength of the response on time of merger, merger ratio, and mass of the main halo. These results provide insight into the physics of halo mergers and their effects on the statistical behavior of halo properties. This study paves the way toward a physical understanding of scaling relations, particularly to how systematics in their scatter are connected to the mass assembly histories of halos.

The outer heliosphere is profoundly influenced by nonthermal energetic pickup ions (PUIs), which dominate the internal pressure of the solar wind beyond ~10 au, surpassing both solar wind and magnetic pressures. PUIs are formed mostly through charge exchange between interstellar neutral atoms and solar wind ions. This study examines the apparent heating of PUIs in the distant supersonic solar wind before reaching the heliospheric termination shock. New Horizons’ SWAP observations reveal an unexpected PUI temperature change between 2015 and 2020, with a notable bump in PUI temperature. Concurrent observations from the ACE and Wind spacecraft at 1 au indicate a ~50% increase in solar wind dynamic pressure at the end of 2014. Our simulation suggests that the bump observed in the PUI temperature by New Horizons is largely associated with the enhanced solar wind dynamic pressure observed at 1 au. Additional PUI temperature enhancements imply the involvement of other heating mechanisms. Analysis of New Horizons data reveals a correlation between shocks and PUI heating during the declining phase of the solar cycle. Using a PUI-mediated plasma model, we explore shock structures and PUI heating, finding that shocks preferentially heat PUIs over the thermal solar wind in the outer heliosphere. We also show that the broad shock thickness observed by New Horizons is due to the large diffusion coefficient associated with PUIs. Shocks and compression regions in the distant supersonic solar wind lead to elevated PUI temperatures and thus they can increase the production of energetic neutral atoms with large energy.

In the shadow of shadow banking: A liquidity perspective
Authors: Liu Zehao , He Ping , Xie Chengbo
Published: January 2025

Liquidity requirements for commercial banks improve risk‐sharing for depositors. Nevertheless, shadow banks, issuing securities with lower liquidity, operate outside such regulatory constraints. In an economy featuring shadow banks with a constant level of liquidity for shadow bank securities, higher liquidity requirements lead to a reduction in aggregate liquidity provision, owing to regulatory arbitrage incentives. Conversely, when the liquidity of shadow bank securities decreases with the market share of shadow banks, the incentive for regulatory arbitrage is reduced and, thus, higher liquidity requirements could enhance aggregate liquidity provision.
On the limitations of data‐based price discrimination
Authors: Xie Haitian , Zhu Ying , Shishkin Denis
Published: January 2025

The classic third degree price discrimination (3PD) model requires the knowledge of the distribution of buyer valuations and the covariate to set the price conditioned on the covariate. In terms of generating revenue, the classic result shows that 3PD is at least as good as uniform pricing. What if the seller has to set a price based only on a sample of observations from the underlying distribution? Is it still obvious that the seller should engage in 3PD? This paper sheds light on these fundamental questions. In particular, the comparison of the revenue performance between 3PD and uniform pricing is ambiguous overall when prices are set based on samples. This finding is in the nature of statistical learning under uncertainty: a curse of dimensionality, but also other small sample complications.
Notes on Wealth as a Real Abstraction and the Critique of Suffering
Authors: Bonefeld Werner
Published: January 2025

The object of a critical theory of society is Man [Menschen] in her historically specific forms of life. The article argues against ontological conceptions of social labour and of economy. Instead it insists that historical materialism far from being a materialism of nature and history, is fundamentally a critique of the objectivity of the capitalist economic categories. For a critical theory of society, the economic concept, capital as a process of the valorisation of value, is not a natural thing but a social relationship between persons that is mediated through things. The fetishism of commodities is real. In the mediated world the social individuals appear as personifications of the economic object; and yet there would be nothing without their social practices—of self-preservation. Human suffering is objectively mediated. The article concludes that suffering is the non-conceptual content of the concept of society as a process of valorisation. The sheer unrest of life is the social constituent of the economic object.
Une petite pensée : « l’appensée »
Authors: Fierens Christian
Published: January 2025

Psychoanalytic practice requires articulating three dimensions (imaginary, symbolic, real) in the Borromean Knot. The Freudian symptom articulates these three dimensions with a fourth one, psychic reality. Articulation of the three dimensions in the personality presupposes their fusion or confusion in the trefoil knot. The concatenation of the symbolic dimension with the real one would lead to the loss of the imaginary dimension if the knot of the ego did not retain it within the structure. All these movements support the thinking of psychoanalytical practice: the “appensée.”
Interval and Event
Authors: Quent Marcus
Published: January 2025

Are we living in an “in-between time”? If so, what does it mean to be the “contemporary” of such a time? Starting from its consistent recurrence over different times, this article investigates the temporal-philosophical operation related to the designation of “in-between times.” It examines the function this operation assumes in thinking about time, i.e. the specific construction of time it establishes. By focusing on the functioning of intervalle in Alain Badiou and entre-temps in Gilles Deleuze, two contradictory relations to the present conveyed in the concept of “in-between time” are discussed. The article demonstrates that for both philosophers, in-betweenness occupies a key position in their philosophical construction of time—yet, in reverse form in each case. The discussion of this contrasting mode then leads to the final question of whether there is such a thing as a fundamental in-between character that manifests itself through all times, belonging to time as such.
How Many Wars?
Authors: Petrović Jelena
Published: January 2025

The article deals with contemporary war history, the aesthetics of resistance, and the politics of affect in the context of the post-Yugoslav space. Looking back at the armed wars of the 1990s, as well as the numerous wars still being waged by other means, it becomes clear that there is still no peace in this exhausted zone of geopolitical discomfort. The politics of (non)belonging to this space has oscillated for decades between conflicting affects, liminal zones, and the (im)possibilities of overcoming the permanent production of war through lasting peace. This ambivalent feeling of (non)belonging has led to various twists and shifts in post-Yugoslav art that have solidarized within the old and new geopolitical zones of discomfort and war(s). Using the post-Yugoslav art-based research of Adela Jušić and Blerta Heziraj, who are now involved with the Antifašistički front žena—AFŽ (Women’s Antifascist Front), as well as a long-durée activist performance by Žene u crnom (Women in Black), the text accordingly points to a common ground of politics and art that uncompromisingly resist the governing (post-)Yugoslav discourses of never-ending wars.
From Emigration to (Non-)Immigration to Postmigration?
Authors: R. Linn Elisa
Published: January 2025

The essay traces the legal, representative, and societal status of migrant Others in the “closed society” of the GDR (German Democratic Republic or East Germany) as an example of how Germany has been profiting from labor migration on both sides of the Wall. It outlines how, from German reunification to the present day, migration has been presented as a sudden and temporary problem that obscures a colonial and racist past and necropolitical present. The essay examines the process of social de-differentiation in the “state-domineered society” of the GDR and how social techniques of othering and ethnicization in the form of laws for foreigners fostered discrimination and racism against the “stranger” (Georg Simmel), especially the guest worker. Looking at the process of a “double transformation” in the wake of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the subsequent reunification, the essay examines how overlapping processes of othering as the modern equivalent of the term “Orientalism” (Edward Said) have shaped and continue to shape reunified Germany. The process of “catching up with modernization” affects not only former migrants, second-generation descendants, refugees, and racialized citizens, but also the social group of East Germans who stood outside a Western-coded paradigm of normalcy. It asks to what extent the Federal Republic of Germany aimed at the integration of majority white East Germans during the reunification process to the detriment of migrant Others and how reunified Germany still fosters integration for the benefit of national economic interests and at the cost of migrant Others in Germany today. The essay reflects on the complicated transition from the notion of an ethnically homogeneous German nation, postulated since 1871 and long prevalent in terms of the principle of descent, to the contested self-image of reunified Germany as a country of immigration and its transformation into a post-migration society.
Animals as Conflicts
Authors: Liponik Vesna
Published: January 2025

In this article, we utilize two absolute anti-nuclear classics of all time, the novellas Godzilla (1955) and Godzilla Raids Again (1955) by Shigeru Kayama to focus on the possibilities of thinking not only in the usual way about animals in conflicts but about animals as conflicts. Godzilla is not merely a nuclear allegory, and as such a personification, an embodiment of a conflict, but also an “allegory” of animal resistance, an embodiment of another, more underlying conflict, with all its necessarily (non-)allegorical implications. Our aim is to explore this view of Godzilla in the context of recent discussions in animal philosophy, namely the concept of animal resistance. This article will investigate the relationship between animal victimhood and resistance, thereby identifying a novel phenomenon: animals as saviors.1
Thinking the Machine
Authors: Kumar Voranc
Published: January 2025

The fact that we were used to thinking non-thinking machines, the ones supplementing human physical labor, and that we are only now encountering machines that supposedly supplement human thinking, does not mean that this is either the direction in the evolution of the machine or the genealogy of ideas about the machine. Psychoanalysis tempts us to say that the history of the machine could only be written together with the history of the unconscious, while studies of ancient orality reveal to us the intricacy of the oral technicity predating the technology of the written word. This means that the machine predates a simple tool, and highlights the possibility of thinking a genealogy of the machine, which must necessarily entangle with the genealogy of thought and memory. Following this line of thought, we should correct ourselves by saying that the idea of a machine that thinks is not a contemporary occurrence after all.
Ratio cognoscendi in ratio essendi
Authors: Kroupa Gregor
Published: January 2025

Descartesovo pojmovanje razlike med analitično in sintetično metodo predstavlja eno bolj enigmatičnih tém njegovega opusa. Problem se v literaturi ponavadi zgosti v dveh vprašanjih: Kako točno Descartes razume analizo in sintezo, ali, v kolikšni meri dolguje svoje pojmovanje analize grškim geometrom? In pa: V katerih spisih uporablja eno ali drugo? Descartesovi lastni zapisi porajajo več vprašanj kot odgovorov. Članek najprej analizira nekatere klasične odlomke, ki se nanašajo na vprašanje metode, pri tem pa problematizira Gueroultovo simetrično shemo, v kateri naj bi analiza pripadala redu spoznanja, sinteza pa redu stvari. Čeprav je imel Descartes analizo za primernejšo metodo metafizike, se sintetičnim razlagam ni povsem odrekel. V članku predlagamo, da sintezo poleg krajšega povzetka nekaterih dokazov more geometrico v Drugih odgovorih iščemo tudi v Descartesovi fiziki, čeprav sam Descartes tega nikjer metodološko nereflektira.
Problem materialne lažnosti v Descartesovih Meditacijah
Authors: Jan Matija
Published: January 2025

Namen članka je, da poda konsistentno interpretacijo Descartesove teorije materialno lažnih idej, tj. idej čutnih kvalitet. Določiti mora, kaj je problem materialno lažnih idej, na katere ideje se nanaša ter te nato umestiti v Descartesovo ontologijo idej. Problem je mogoče razumeti na dva načina: bodisi materialno lažne ideje razumemo kot dejansko zavajajoče reprezentacije, ki telesa predstavljajo kot nosilce čutnih kvalitet, bodisi jih razumemo kot reprezentacije, ki telesa predstavljajo na temen način. Materialno lažne ideje so občutki in ne ideje občutkov. Descartes konsistentno zagovarja teorijo, po kateri je pripis čutnih kvalitet telesom posledica sodbe, občutki pa telesa predstavljajo le zelo temno. Občutki kot vse ostale ideje predstavljajo s predmetno realnostjo, njihova temnost pa je posledica združenja duha s telesom.
