Authors: Kolibaba O.B. ,   Ivanovo State Power Engineering University, Kozlova M.V. , Garyaev A.B. ,   Ivanovo State Power Engineering University,   National Research University “Moscow Power Engineering Institute”
Published: July 2024

One of the most socially significant environmental problems is the problem of solid municipal waste (SMW) management. In Russia, the most common method of waste management is waste disposal, i.e., landfilling depositing. However, waste disposal in such a way prevents the use of their resource potential, and also, harms the environment. Along with this method, such methods as recycling, incineration, anaerobic digestion, and thermal destruction are used. The choice of a particular waste management method depends on many factors, for example the morphological composition of the waste, the cost of its implementation, the total impact on the environment, etc. Thus, development of a comprehensive criterion that allows evaluating the effectiveness of a specific waste management method under specified conditions is relevant. The substantiation of the most effective method of waste management, as well as the development of a comprehensive criterion for evaluating efficiency, is carried out using the method of analyzing hierarchies by T. Saati. Six criteria have been developed to assess the reduction of waste volume, the impact of the SMW recycling process on the environment, volume of greenhouse gas emissions, and the energy and economic attractiveness of various waste management methods. A comprehensive criterion has been proposed. The use of this criterion with the expert assessments makes it possible to choose a method for the disposal of SMW. As a result of the analysis of the results obtained, it is found that the most effective method of waste management is thermal destruction, and waste disposal is less preferable. A method has been developed to compare and select a method for the disposal of SMW of a given composition based on a comprehensive account of energy, environmental and economic factors.
Methodology of matrix modeling of multicomponent multiflow multi-stage energy complexes
Authors: Barochkin A.E. ,   Ivanovo State Power Engineering University
Published: July 2024

Traditionally, heat transfer problems are solved in relation to two-flow systems in which heat exchange is carried out between hot and cold coolants. However, along with two-flow systems, there are often multiflow systems in which the number of coolant flows is three or more. In addition, each energy carrier stream may consist of several components, and the installation may include several stages. Thus, the development of universal approaches and methods for modeling, calculation, and optimization of multi-component multiflow multistage energy complexes within the framework of a unified methodology is an urgent scientific and practical task. A methodology of matrix formalization of modeling heat and mass transfer processes is based on methods and approaches of matrix description of heat and mass transfer systems in energy complexes. The approaches and methods of modeling energy power installations are summarized. Within the framework of the matrix description methodology, the rules and approaches to the development of models of heat and mass transfer processes are formulated in relation to multicomponent multiflow multistage energy complexes. The authors have proposed a solution to the inverse problems with and without considering a phase transition in coolants. Analysis of formulated and solved problems within the framework of the proposed methodology allows us to recommend the use of methods and approaches of matrix modeling of equipment to solve direct and inverse problems for multicomponent multiflow multistage energy complexes for various purposes.
Aleksei Losev on number, mathematics and music
Authors: Kudrin V.B. ,   Independent Researcher
Published: July 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis and development of A.F. Losev’s philosophy of number. A review of existing research on this issue is provided. Definitions of arrhythmology, eidetic and hyletic numbers are given according to the early works of the philosopher of the 1920s. The roots of the term “hyletics” in E. Husserl and the change in its meaning in Losev are noted. The subject of the philosophy of number as a separate discipline is considered. The difference between number and numbering, between hyletic and real number is revealed. Examples are given of the irreducibility of numbers and the non-commutativity of operations with numbers, which can only be interpreted through a dialectical approach to mathematics. The early Losev’s philosophy of mathematics is considered in the light of Gödel's theorem formulated later. An introductory sketch of possible non-classical mathematics (a paradigm similar to quantum physics) based on correlation calculus is given. The difference between functional and correlation dependence is considered. The reductionism that is characteristic of modern mathematics is criticized. In this regard, a new view of the ancient cosmology of the Pythagoreans and Platonists and the resulting conclusions about the nature of space and time are interpreted. The final part of the study characterizes the connection between A.F. Losev’s philosophy of music with the understanding of time in the general cosmological worldview.
Formation of Characteristics of a Self-Actualizing Personality among Medical Students
Authors: Gerasimova T.V.
Published: July 2024

Improving the quality of physician training includes the development of professionally important qualities during the period of study at a university. Psychological and pedagogical support for medical university students has not been sufficiently developed and is rarely implemented. The work is aimed at studying the formation of the qualities of a self-actualizing personality among medical university students. The authors developed and substantiated a model of psychological and pedagogical support for the formation of a complex of personal protective skills for future doctors. The authors presented the results of an empirical study obtained on a sample of 180 5th year medical university students with specialties in General Medicine and Dentistry (90 people – experimental group participating in the experimental program, 90 people – control group). The researchers used the self-actualization test technique of E. Shostrom in adaptation of L.Ya. Gozman and M.V. Crozat. The results obtained indicate that indicators of the characteristics of a self-actualizing personality change statistically significantly after participation in the experimental program. These studies can be used as an effective means of professional development for future and practicing doctors.
Uncertainty Quantification in Radial Anisotropy Models Based on Transdimensional Bayesian Inversion of Receiver Functions and Surface-Wave Dispersion: Case Study Sri Lanka
Authors: Ke Kuan-Yu , Tilmann Frederik , Ryberg Trond , Dreiling Jennifer
Published: July 2024

In geophysical inference problems, quantification of data uncertainties is required to balance the data-fitting ability of the model and its complexity. The transdimensional hierarchical Bayesian approach is a powerful tool to evaluate the level of uncertainty and determine the complexity of the model by treating data errors and model dimensions as unknown. In this article, we take account of the uncertainty through the whole procedure, thus developing a two-step fully Bayesian approach with coupled uncertainty propagation to estimate the crustal isotropic and radial anisotropy (RA) model based on Rayleigh and Love dispersion as well as receiver functions (RFs). First, 2D surface-wave tomography is applied to determine period-wise ambient noise phase velocity maps and their uncertainty for Rayleigh and Love waves. Probabilistic profiles of the isotropic average VS and RA as a function of depth are then derived at station sites by inverting the local surface-wave dispersion and model errors and RFs jointly. The workflow is applied to a temporary seismic broadband array covering all of Sri Lanka. The probabilistic results enable us to effectively quantify the uncertainty of the final RA model and provide robust inferences. The shear-wave velocity results show that the range of Moho depths is between 30 and 40 km, with the thickest crust (38–40 km) beneath the central Highland Complex. Positive RA (VSH>VSV) observed in the upper crust is attributed to subhorizontal alignment of metamorphic foliation and stretched layers resulting from deformation. Negative RA (VSV>VSH) in the midcrust of central Sri Lanka may indicate the existence of melt inclusions and could result from the uplift and folding process. The positive RA in the lower crust could be caused by crustal channel flow in a collision orogeny.
Deep Learning–Based Denoising Improves Receiver Function Imaging Using Dense Short-Period Teleseismic Data

Published: July 2024

Receiver function (RF) imaging using seismic data from dense short-period arrays has gained increasing importance in recent years in investigating fine-scale structures of the crust and uppermost mantle. A crucial step in such studies is to remove the instrument response (IR) to enhance teleseismic signals at ∼0.01 to 5 Hz, thereby simulating broadband records. However, this procedure also amplifies noise within the same frequency band. For weak signals, distinguishing them from noise is often challenging and in some cases is even impossible with traditional denoising methods such as filtering. To address this challenge, we develop a new convolutional neural network model, NodalWaden, using decades of high-quality global broadband teleseismic body waves for training. The broadband data exhibit the characteristics we target to achieve by removing the IR from the short-period records. The applicability of NodalWaden is justified by denoising the three-component short-period records of more than 18 months from 155 nodes deployed in northern Sumatra. We find that NodalWaden substantially improves the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), upgrading ∼50% of the teleseismic data from the “very-low-SNR” (∼1) to “very-high-SNR” (>10) categories. RFs calculated from the denoised dataset show better separation of merged phases and noticeable enhancement of weak signals, resulting in improvement in the quality of structure imaging. In particular, a positive phase is consistently detected at ~2 s throughout the dataset and interpreted as the Conrad discontinuity, which is unresolvable in the original RFs. This denoising technique would be particularly useful for short-duration (e.g., one month) deployment with limited teleseismic data, both from the past and in the future.

Published: July 2024

Dimensions of wounds can be measured using several methods such as a photograph, a comparison, a ruler, or a graph. Current generation smartphones have high quality in-built cameras, and they are easily accessible than before and have become affordable. Making use of certain applications built for these smartphones have helped achieve various benefits in medical field. A software called Imitomeasure has been developed for the purpose of measuring wound dimensions without touching the wound. This app has the advantage over clinical measurement using rule or tape, in that, it is a non-contact method, hence less chances of spreading infection to that patient. The effectiveness of Imitomeasure has been assessed, and it has been found to be a very effective application in measuring wound dimensions. In this study, the size of wounds over gluteal region has been measured using Imitomeasure application in a smartphone.

Obvenciones parroquiales y funerales en obispados novohispanos. La parroquia de Jalostotitlán, 1771-1825
Authors: Becerra Jiménez Celina G.
Published: July 2024

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar las disposiciones y las prácticas relativas a los funerales en Nueva España durante las últimas décadas coloniales y comparar los aranceles parroquiales del arzobispado de México y el obispado de Guadalajara. Las honras fúnebres revestían especial importancia para los novohispanos, tanto por su significado en la comunidad, como por la participación del párroco y sus ministros. Aquí se cruzan dos fuentes: los aranceles aprobados por las autoridades eclesiásticas de México y Guadalajara, que establecían los montos que los fieles debían cubrir a la muerte de sus familiares según su calidad y el espacio donde reposarían los cuerpos, y los datos procedentes de las actas anotadas en los libros de entierros de la parroquia de Jalostotitlán del obispado de Guadalajara para mostrar las diferencias entre los derechos parroquiales de los dos obispados y algunos de los cambios que experimentaron las exequias a finales del periodo virreinal.

Published: July 2024

Os assistentes virtuais têm desempenhado um papel cada vez mais significativo nos ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem, também conhecidos como AVAs (Ambientes Virtuais de Aprendizagem). A presença de assistentes virtuais nesses ambientes traz consigo alguns benefícios como a contribuição para um aprendizado personalizado e a capacidade desta tecnologia oferecer respostas imediatas às perguntas dos alunos. Além disso, esses assistentes estão disponíveis 24h por dia durante 7 dias por semana, oferecendo auxílio e recursos a qualquer momento, de maneira flexível e acompanhando o processo de aprendizagem dos discentes. Sendo assim, este artigo, a partir de uma revisão sistemática da literatura, busca melhor evidenciar as possibilidades de conexão entre os assistentes virtuais nos AVAs, de forma a analisar os apontamentos e oportunidades proporcionadas por esta junção. Constatou-se que parte das pesquisas buscaram apresentar o desenvolvimento e a implantação de assistentes virtuais em plataformas de ensino e aprendizagem, bem como houve trabalhos que exploraram essa temática tentando evidenciar a presença, utilidade e possibilidades futuras dos assistentes nos AVAs. Assim, alguns dos resultados apontam para os benefícios que os assistentes virtuais agregam ao sistema de ensino ao atenderem prontamente às demandas dos estudantes. No entanto, tal área ainda carece de investigações e aprimoramento, de modo que as tecnologias possam cada vez mais trazer soluções eficazes para os ambientes que estão inseridas.

Graphic Novel Hamlet: Reaching Beyond Stage and Page
Authors: Terceiro Danielle
Published: July 2024

The persistence, abundance, and diversity of Shakespearean adaptations across many media shows Shakespearean narratives to be “successful replicators,” the terminology proposed by Bortolotti and Hutcheon (2007). In the past decade, many graphic novel adaptations of Shakespeare’s plays have been produced. While graphic novels have their own affordances that allow the Shakespearean plays to be assembled for “performance” on the page, at the same time they open up connotations that would not be available in a conventional stage performance. The conventions of the comic book allow storyworlds to be opened, worlds that reach beyond the page and stage, and that exist on different narrative, or diegetic, levels. At the same time, a graphic novel adaptation can highlight the ephemeral nature of performance and the fragile network of human and nonhuman elements that hold together a Shakespeare narrative in performance —whether this performance is on the stage or the page. This article will examine and compare three graphic novel adaptations of Hamlet: Hamlet (Manga Shakespeare) by Richard Appignanesi and Emma Vieceli (2007) (hereafter referred to as Manga Shakespeare); Hamlet (No Fear Shakespeare Graphic Novels) by Neil Babra (2008) (hereafter referred to as No Fear); and Shakespeare’s Hamlet by Nicki Greenberg (2010). Together these texts show that graphic novels can use comic book conventions to tap into the “agency of adaption” that is inherent in dramatic pretexts. When creating a stage performance, a director must make creative decisions that move outside the explicit instructions of a dramatic text. There is a similar but more complicated agency at work when a dramatic text is brought together as a performance on a page. Shakespearean adaptations bring their own particular joy and complexity, as the pretexts themselves serve as invitations to partake in an intense flux of meaning and mixed ontologies.
The Shia-Sunni Adhān: A Call to Defending Sectarian Craving for Islamic Authority
Authors: Dh Achmad Zuhdi , Said Imam Ghazali
Published: July 2024

The formulation of azan (call to prayer) has been the subject of endless contestation between Shia and Sunni Muslims. It covers the issue of its authentic origin, phrase variations, and underlying arguments. It said that the debate is based not only on legal considerations but also on the perceived historical background with regard to the origins of the call to prayer and the theological implications regarding sahih hadith as an authoritative Islamic reference. The article offers theoretical significance for understanding sectarian discourse and practical insights that go beyond conflict and foster harmony and peace in Shia-Sunni relations by employing a multi-step methodology to investigate the discourse of disagreement in the formulation of adhān phrases within the Shia-Sunni context and its implications for Islamic authority. It begins with establishing a theoretical framework to comprehend sectarian variations, followed by a thorough literature review incorporating scholarly articles, historical records, and religious texts. Building on this, a comparative analysis examines wording and content discrepancies in the adhān between Shia and Sunni traditions. Additionally, the research delves into historical records and manuscripts, tracing the origins of disagreements over the adhān, while a theological analysis explores the religious foundations influencing the variations. The study found that Shia-Sunni debates and tensions over the call to prayer can serve as a scholarly entry point to understanding the differences and root causes between the two. In addition, this article will be an enlightenment to dispel prejudices and tensions among fellow Muslims by acknowledging and appreciating each other's differences.

This study aims to determine the factors that influence the increase in zakat collection and institutional reputation at the Muhammadiyah Zakat Infaq and Shadaqah Institution (LAZISMU). The variables studied are Digital Fundraising, Organizational Capability, Religiosity as independent variables. Increased collection as the dependent variable and institutional reputation as the mediating variable. The sample used was 249 respondents from the western, central and eastern Indonesian regions. Data analysis techniques using Structural Equation Model (SEM) techniques with the help of Smart PLS 4 statistical tools. The results showed that digital fundraising, organizational capabilities have a positive and significant influence on increasing zakat collection and institutional reputation. Religiosity has a positive and significant influence on increasing zakat collection. However, it has no influence on institutional reputation. The mediation results show that institutional reputation mediates the relationship between digital fundraising, organizational capability, religiosity to the increase in zakat collection. The implication of this research is that to obtain the level of trust of muzakki to pay professional zakat, it is necessary to pay attention to good institutional management and adequate personnel support so as to increase the collection of zakat and institutional reputation.
Complexity in the perspective of the ontological turn in modern anthropology
Authors: Opolev Pavel V. ,   Omsk State Technical University
Published: July 2024

The article examines the forms of representation of the idea of the diversity of being that have developed outside Western European philosophy and science. The paper presents an analysis of the proposed F. Descola, E. Cohn and E. V. de Castro reconstructions of “Indian” ontologies, which are positioned as an alternative to the West «metaphysics». The models constructed within the framework of anthropological reconstructions are based on a number of ontological assumptions (multi-naturalism, reinspectivism, multimodality), which are considered as forms of representation of diversity. The author examines the boundaries of the decentered ontology of diversity, the peculiarities of the relationship between objective and subjective complexity in the mythology of Indian collectives. In the context of the described theoretical models, complexity is considered as a relational, transversal category relevant for describing the processuality of existence, the diversity of human experience, the relationship between man, society and culture. The article also presents a comparative analysis of the ideas of diversity that have developed in “Indian” metaphysics and in the directions of modern philosophy (“new ontologies”) and science (synergetics).
Philosophy and psychology competing for the status of a fundamental science
Authors: Mikhaylov Igor A. ,   Institute of Philosophy of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: July 2024

The purpose of the article is to determine the circumstances that determine the development of one of the most popular plots in stories about Husserl’s phenomenology: criticism of psychologism in the question of the foundations of scientific knowledge, as well as the subsequent accusation of Husserl himself of “psychologism”. The article shows that in the 19th century philosophy goes through a series of internal transformations caused by criticism from natural science. One of the results of this criticism is that philosophy borrows some principles for constructing scientific knowledge. These include reliance on “facts” and “experience”. When applied to the analysis of subjectivity, this leads to the analysis of mental life as a sphere of immediate certainty. Philosophy abandons the “metaphysical” concept of the soul in favor of an orientation toward “mental phenomena”, “facts of consciousness”. At the same time, psychology is being promoted to the role of the main model for the analysis of subjectivity; her method and approach can now be considered “empirical” rather than speculative. The actual process of development of both psychology and philosophy leads to the fact that psychology begins to be considered as the main model of access to mental life in general, and to consciousness as its special designated area. No version of the alternative foundation of knowledge can bypass this fundamental circumstance if it intends to offer its theory of subjectivity. This circumstance was, in our opinion, a much more serious “challenge” for Husserl and his philosophy than the tendency for psychologists to occupy philosophy departments.
In search of a common basis for the diversity of approaches to the study of reflection in psychology
Authors: Belyakov Maksim A. ,   Kostroma State University
Published: July 2024

The article attempts to find a basis for combining a large number of currently existing concepts of reflection in psychology. Today, there is an awareness of the importance of the role of reflection in our knowledge of the world around us, but there is no sufficiently clear definition that would most consistently express its essence and contribute to the unification of the entire variety of existing approaches to the study of reflection. The article suggests that this state of affairs is largely due to the long-standing philosophical tradition of contrasting the subjective reality of a person with the outside world. The influence of this philosophical tradition is also felt in attempts to scientifically describe reflection. It is traditionally understood as the ability to think about our thoughts and is contrasted with human sensations and perceptions. It is assumed that this approach can and should be questioned, since it contributes to the creation of a large number of disparate concepts. It can be concluded that there are no separate, independent processes of cognition of the external and internal worlds, but there is a single process of constructing our consciousness, in which reflection always participates.
N. V. Ustryalov’s aesthetic ant etatist patriotism
Authors: Chikaeva Tatyana A. ,   Moscow Art-Industrial Institute
Published: July 2024

The relevance of the appeal to the concept of Homeland and patriotism by N.V. Ustryalov is determined by the similarity of the scale of cultural and political changes in the country and the world at the beginning of the 20th century and today. The concept of patriotism of the thinker was formed on the basis of an analysis of a specific socio-cultural situation and the formulation of its own definitions of categories such as "Motherland" and "state". The chosen methodology for analyzing his works combines the logical and philosophical method, the method of contextual analysis, and the method of comparative studies. As a result, it is proposed to give the concept of N.V. Ustryalov the name "aesthetic and etatist patriotism" and indicate its main provisions. Homeland is an aesthetic value, the form of existence of which, the state, combines the material and the social. Of the three components of the state, according to N.V. Ustryalov, the leading role belongs to the territory. Justifying his transition to the side of the Soviet government, the thinker points out that the actions of the Bolsheviks objectively contribute to the collection of the lands of the Russian Empire, and the national culture, including the culture of various nations, is being improved. Therefore, the Soviet state can legitimately be called a form of existence of the Motherland. Patriotism has qualities of aesthetic value, because it is truly human and aimed at affirming the beautiful, the priority of creative activity. The Ustryalov’s concept of aesthetic and etatist patriotism removes the contradiction between the high spiritual content of patriotism as a shrine and the utilitarianism of everyday tasks solved by social actors and it allows you to formulate specific criteria for people’s support for the authorities.

Background: Joint hypermobility (JH) is a condition that can be either benign or accompanied by pain and early development of osteoarthritis. For early verification of the risk of complications, it is necessary to study the molecular pathogenesis of various JH variants. The aim of the study: The aim of this study was to search for candidate genes involved in connective tissue metabolism and causing joint hypermobility in a form isolated or combined with connective tissue dysplasia (CTD). Materials and methods: The study involved young (21,86±0,22 y.o.) people (n=181). A clinical study was conducted for the presence of signs of JH (Beighton scale) and CTD (tables Kadurina T.I.). Further, a molecular genetic study was carried out and the search for associations of polymorphic variants of genes (vitamin D receptor (VDR), lumican (LUM), tenascin (TNXB), growth/differentiation factor 5 (GDF5), magnesium ion channel TRPM6), bone morphogenetic protein type 5 (BMP5)) and JH, CTD in isolated and combined forms. Statistical data processing was carried out by comparing qualitative features using the χ2 test, Fisher's exact test, and the χ2 test with Yates' correction for contingency tables 2x2. The strength of associations was assessed in terms of the odds ratio (Odds Ratio, OR, at p<0.05), the correction for multiple comparisons was carried out using the FDR method (Benjamin- Hochberg). Quantitative data were evaluated in pairs using the Student's t-test, the normality of distribution according to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Results: Associations of the G allele and the GG genotype of the rs3734444 locus of the BMP5 gene with the presence of JH (OR=3.70 and OR=5.10), the A allele of the rs1470527 locus of the BMP5 gene and the presence of JH+CTD- (OR=8.00), the T allele and the TT genotype of the rs11144134 locus of the TRPM6 gene with JH in isolated (OR=3.00 and OR =10.19) and in the forms combined with CTD (OR=3.17 and OR=11.28), the TT genotype was also associated with the isolated form of CTD (OR=3.74). The GT genotype of the rs73611720 locus of the GDF5 gene was associated with isolated CTD (OR=4.15). No statistically significant associations were found for polymorphic variants rs11540149 (VDR), rs2268578 and rs3759222 (LUM), rs3130342 (TNXB). Conclusion: The G allele of locus rs3734444 of the BMP5 gene is a potential risk marker for JH in general, the A allele of locus rs1470527 is an isolated JH, the GT genotype of locus rs73611720 of the GDF5 gene is a marker for isolated CTD, the T allele of locus rs11144134 of the TRPM6 gene is a marker for JH combined with CTD.

Materials and Methods: A biotransformation study was carried out by intraperitoneal administration of the drug to Wistar rats and Soviet Chinchilla breed rabbits. Animal blood sampling was performed before the injection and 0.5 h, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 24 h after the injection of the investigated compound. The samples were immediately centrifuged for plasma separation. Urine was simultaneously collected from rats before the administration and at intervals of 0-2 h, 2-4 h, 4-6 h, 6-24 h after administration, faeces – before administration and at intervals of 0-12 h and 12-24 h after administration. The samples were analyzed by HPLC-MS/MS after immediate preparation by adding acetonitrile.
Results and Discussion: 3-(2-butyl-5-chloro-1H-imidazole-4-yl)-4,5-dihydro-1,2-oxazole-5-carboxylic acid and 4-methoxy-3-(trifluoromethyl)aniline – hydrolysis products of the active substance were found during the analysis of plasma, urine and fecal samples. The 4,5-dihydro-1,2-oxazole-5-carboxylic acid derivative has been synthesized. The second metabolite is a raw material for production of active pharmaceutical substance. During comparative tests, no significant difference between the retention times, ratio areas of chromatographic peaks at the main MRM-transitions and mass spectra of these metabolites on chromatograms of standard and animal samples was found, which indicates the correct identification of biotransformation products.
Conclusion: The studied drug undergoes biotransformation by hydrolysis to form two main metabolites: 3-(2-butyl-5-chloro-1H-imidazole-4-yl)-4,5-dihydro-1,2-oxazole-5-carboxylic acid and 4-methoxy-3-(trifluoromethyl)aniline. The structure of the metabolites was confirmed by comparison with the synthesized standard samples using HPLC-MS/MS.
Øystein Linnebo’s “Thin” objects: The problem of reference
Authors: Burian Veronika V. ,   Lomonosov Moscow State University
Published: July 2024

Introduction. The introduction formulates the problem of abstract objects for the philosophy of mathematics, epistemology, and metaphysics. Special attention is paid to the problem of reference. Theoretical analysis. The first section examines Linnebo’s proposed concept of abstract objects as “thin” i.e., not imposing substantial demands on the world. The second section is devoted to the criteria of identity as a special tool for introducing abstract objects into discourse. Linnebo interprets abstraction principles as a particular kind of identity criteria. They allow fixing reference and ensuring its success. The third section presents metasemantic arguments used by Linnebo to justify the preference for a realistic interpretation of the semantics of singular terms. The fourth section criticizes Linnebo’s proposed mechanism of referential access to abstract “thin” objects. In our view, the metasemantic constraints proposed by Linnebo are insufficient to determine the uniqueness of the referent. An additional principle is necessary. Lewis’s “referential magnetism” can be considered as such, but it threatens the concept of “thin” objects. Conclusion. In conclusion, the strengths of Linnebo’s project are acknowledged. His interpretation better reflects how we actually use language. The importance of Linnebo’s theses and ideas for contemporary philosophy is noted.
Transdisciplinarity in the problematic field of social philosophy: “An exchange zone” vs “a socio-epistemic arena”

Introduction. Transdisciplinarity as a fundamental characteristic of hybrid informal knowledge specific to a digital society can be explicated in the problematic field of social philosophy. Theoretical analysis. The main categorical explication of transdisciplinarity is the comparison of the concepts of an exchange zone and socio-epistemic arenas. The first is defined by the categorical series of the philosophy of science, the second is a socio-philosophical construct. A comparative analysis allows us to conclude that the exchange zones initially reflect the inter-institutional status of communication, dating back to P. Galison, and initially the leading role in it belongs to a humanitarian specialist who acts as a mediator. In socio-epistemic arenas, more importance is given to media and ordinary people, who coincide in a digital society with the widest possible range of users. A compromise position can be formulated when referring to the model of trans-epistemic cultures of K. Knorr-Cetina. Conclusion. Transdisciplinarity as a special digital zone producing trans-epistemic cultures has features of both an exchange zone and a socio-epistemic arena. Its hybrid characteristics are determined by the structure of a digital society in which institutional boundaries are permeable, horizontal interaction accompanies and strengthens vertical interaction, and networks are mechanisms for the distribution of knowledge by default.
The methodology of harmonic convergence for the worldview of universalism
Authors: Myakinnikov Sergey P. ,   Kuzbass State Technical University
Published: July 2024

Introduction. The article is devoted to methodological issues of the formation of the worldview of universalism, excluding the reduction of the one, the whole, many and a part to each other. Limited, one-sided types of worldviews of holism, merism and the genological type allow such a reduction, excluding the choice of optimal, sustainable co-development of nature, society and a man. Theoretical analysis. A comparative analysis of the ideological and methodological attitudes of holism, merism and onecentrism is carried out in order to identify their reductionist extremes. As their replacement, the author proposes a new version of the worldview of universalism (postholism), formed by methodological means that exclude the absolutization of a one, whole or parts. The main means of such kind are the concept of a «one whole in a single part», the procedure of «harmonic convergence» and the principle of «non-reductionism», which ensure a tendency to fusion of the semantic content of the concepts of a one, whole, singular, and unique. Conclusion. The conclusion is made that, thanks to these tools, the worldview of postholism is able to neutralize the methodological flaws of holism, mechanicism, elementarism, individualism, henotheism, and other ideological and methodological platforms. This allows for a proportionate interaction in the course of the development of a one (fundamental laws of being), a whole (society) and a part (person).

Authors: Maqfirah Siti , Majid M. Shabri Abd. , Putra Teuku Roli Ilhamsyah
Published: July 2024

The purpose of this study is to examine how talent management and employer branding impact employee retention, focusing on the role of employee engagement. The study involved 168 participants, who were all employees of Prima Inti Medika Hospital in North Aceh. Data was collected through questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with AMOS, as well as the Sobel Test. The results indicate that neither talent management nor employer branding directly and significantly affects employee retention. However, both talent management and employer branding do significantly influence employee engagement. Additionally, employee engagement has a noteworthy impact on employee retention. These findings suggest that talent management and employer branding indirectly affect employee retention through their influence on employee engagement. To improve employee retention, it is recommended that the management of Prima Inti Medika Hospital, North Aceh, focuses on promoting positive relationships, mutual support, and motivation among colleagues to enhance performance and reduce turnover intentions.

The Use of Results of Criminal Intelligence and Surveillance Operations in Disciplinary Proceedings Against Judges: Nonsense of the Contemporary Law Enforcement Practice
Authors: Antonov Igor A. ,   Professor of the Department of Criminal Procedure and Criminalistics of the Saint Petersburg, Kashirin Roman M. ,   Attorney at the Pskov Regional Bar Association, PhD (Law)
Published: July 2024

The article justifies the conclusion that the practice of bringing judges to disciplinary liability in the form of early termination of powers only based on results of criminal intelligence and surveillance operations submitted to the judicial community directly by law enforcement authorities does not meet the criterion of legality as such results are verified by procedural means and have no evidentiary value in bringing a person to legal liability.
