Stock Price Analysis of Games Sub-Sector Companies Listed on NASDAQ (2012-2022)
Authors: Ira Setiawati  , Rita Meiriyanti  , Khatama Yoga Indra
Published: December 2024

This paper examines the stock prices of gaming sub-sector companies listed on NASDAQ from 2012 to 2022, focusing on how financial ratios affect stock prices in this significant and rapidly growing sector of the global Entertainment & Media industry. The primary issue addressed is the impact of financial ratios on stock prices, with the research question centered on how the Current Ratio (CR), Net Profit Margin (NPM), and Return on Equity (ROE) affect stock prices. The novelty of this study lies in its focus on the under-researched gaming sub-sector on NASDAQ. Employing a purposive sampling approach, the study selects companies based on criteria such as being listed on NASDAQ, having complete data for the study variables, and conducting an IPO before 2012, and uses panel data regression analysis to test the effects of CR, NPM, and ROE on stock prices. The findings reveal that the Current Ratio and Net Profit Margin do not significantly affect stock prices, whereas Return on Equity has a significant effect, underscoring ROE's importance in influencing investor decisions in the gaming industry. The study concludes that only ROE significantly affects stock prices in the gaming sub-sector on NASDAQ, suggesting that gaming companies need to focus on enhancing their ROE to attract investors, highlighting the necessity for a strategic emphasis on return on equity to influence investment decisions effectively.

A proposed conceptual model for orphan drug market entry
Authors: Jalen Nataša , Vukasović Tina
Published: December 2024

The right to health is closely linked to the physical in mental well-being of all individuals in is a necessary condition for the realization of additional human rights, including the realization of an adequate standard of living. Rare diseases are diseases that affect a very small proportion of the population in have a special place because of their rarity. They are often chronic, progressive, life-threatening health conditions. Some of them can be treated with medicines called orphan drugs. Orphan drugs are developed by the pharmaceutical industry not for economic reasons, but to meet public health needs. New treatments need to be evaluated before they reach the market. This is done using health technology assessment, which assesses the relative effectiveness of new medicines, medical devices in other health technologies. The market entry of orphan drugs requires the active involvement of all stakeholders: marketing authorisation holders, competent authorities, the medical profession in patient organisations. Model of market entry for orphan drugs was developed using the qualitative methodology of constructivist grounded theory, tailored to the niche market in considers all key categories.
Mentoring young scientists: conceptual foundations and instrumental-technological solutions
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Selezneva Antonina V. , Popova Svetlana Yu. ,   State Academic University for the Humanities
Published: December 2024

The article is interdisciplinary and presents a model of scientific mentoring, which is the result of the authors' reflection on their own experience of working with young scientists. The need to develop a special system of mentoring in science is due to both the specifics of scientific sphere and the characteristics of the modern young generation. The authors show that mentoring is widely used not only in the educational process but also in other spheres of society – business, politics, and the public sector. Scientific understanding and justification of mentoring occur mainly within the framework of psychological and pedagogical knowledge. This study states the absence of conceptual works devoted to mentoring in science. The conceptual basis of the model is an interdisciplinary complex of axiological, activity, subject, personality-oriented, network and project approaches. The subjects of interaction in the mentoring system include an authoritative scientist-mentor and young scientists, who are considered as scientific leaders in three dimensions – personal-professional, status-role and figurative-symbolic. The organizational and substantive basis of the scientific mentoring system is research activity. The communicative component of the scientific mentoring system is implemented through the inclusion of young scientists in scientific schools and the scientific and professional community, as well as in the public space. The instrumental and technological basis of the scientific mentoring system is a complex of social, psychological, pedagogical, marketing and management technologies: technology of academic supervising, technology of academic mentoring, technology of coaching, technology of project work, technology of network interaction, technology of distributed team management, technology of forming a professional community, and technology branding. The presented model of scientific mentoring allows you to implement an integrated approach in working with young scientists, aimed at their professional training and personal development in the current social context. The use of this model allows solving the problems of early career guidance of young people, building continuous and long-term interaction of a mentor with schoolchildren, students and graduate students for high-quality training of young specialists in science.

Merits of Zakir Mammadov in the philosophy of Azerbaijan
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences, Mammadova Aytek Zakir gizi
Published: December 2024

The article discusses the merits of Correspond-ing Member of ANAS, Doctor of Philosophical sciences, Professor Zakir Mammadov (1936-2003) in the historical studies of philosophy of Azerbaijan. Zakir Mammadov, fluent in oriental languages, especially Arabic, was the first Azerbaijani translator to work on the construc-tion of the Aswan Dam in Egypt in 1962-1963. Returning to his homeland, he began to study philosophy. The article says that he worked at the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences (ANAS) since 1964, and since 1997 he headed the Department of History of Oriental Philoso-phy and Religious studies at the same institute until the end of his life. The scientist was elected a corresponding member of ANAS in 2001. The history of religion, medieval Eastern philosophy, and the history of Azerbaijani phi-losophy occupy an important place in the sci-entist’s work. The article notes that the beginning of Zakir Mammadov’s scientific activity started in the 60s of the 20th century. He refuted the opin-ion of scientists that in the Middle Ages there were no professional philosophers and scien-tists in the East, with the exception of Bah-manyar, who was little studied. Through his scientific research, Zakir Mammadov identified and studied their works in handwritten form and proved that the heritage of Azerbaijani philosophers and thinkers, who wrote in ori-ental languages, published in different coun-tries, was rich and unique. The scientist wrote in his research that the philosophical tradi-tions of the Bahmaniyar school, developed by Nasiraddin Tusi and representatives of his school, ended with the work of Rajabali Tabrizi (...- 1669), the last great representative of Eastern Peripatetism. The article notes that the anniversaries of Bahmanyar, Shihabeddin Yahya Suhrawardi, Aynalguzat Miyanaji, Sirajaddin Urmavi, Afzaladdin Khunaji and other philosophers were held on the initiative of Zakir Mammadov.
Philosophy and digital humanities
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences, Sokolova Tatiana D.
Published: December 2024

Digital humanities is one of the relatively young but rapidly developing areas in the field of humanities. Digital research is often understood as the use of quantitative meth-ods and opposed to the classical set of quali-tative methods traditionally associated with the humanities. However, digital research is not limited to purely quantitative methods, although it relies mainly on the analysis of large amounts of data. Digital humanities to-day include gamification, visualization, and model building. This paper has three objec-tives: (1) Identify the basic theoretical princi-ples of digital research in the humanities; (2) Determine the relationship between digital and classical humanitarian methods in modern philosophical research, as well as their impact on each other; (3) Define and substantiate the role of philosophy and epistemology in the development of digital humanities. Paradoxically, technological progress in the form of digital research methods gives philosophy the opportunity to return to its origins, the basic objects of philosophical research, which, it would seem, until recently were criticized by supporters of scientific progress as something outdated, dogmatic and inhibiting scientific development. Apparently, the opportunity for philosophy to play if not a dominant, but at least a more significant role among scientific disciplines is opening up again, as well as to take the position of a meta-discipline that outlines and defines general criteria for scientific research and development, to become a unifying platform for interdisciplinary interac-tion between specialists from different re-search areas, to develop universal cognitive practices and criteria for evaluating scientific research
Social practices and personal identification
Authors:   The Saratov State Law Academy, Erokhin Vladimir S.
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this work is to substantiate the statement that social practices are a norma-tive basis for the formation of personal identi-fication of an individual. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to solve a number of tasks: (1) to determine the content of the concepts of “practice” and “social practice” and identify their relationship; (2) to identify the rational and normative nature of social practices; (3) to substantiate the understanding of social practices as a normative basis for personal identification. The paper uses a logical meth-od that allows to form a holistic view of the content of the concepts of “practice” and “social practice” and carry out their correla-tion. It also applies a critical method, which manifests in the analysis of approaches to un-derstanding social practices as a normative ba-sis for personal identification. The paper uses a synthetic approach that combines the re-sources of the activity concept and the theory of P. Bourdieu's practices and applies them to solving the issue of the normative foundations of personal identification. The results ob-tained and the main conclusions of the study are that the concept of practice expresses the transformative activity of a person, while the term of social practice, being specific in rela-tion to the concept of practice, expresses a lot of socially significant repetitive actions. The specificity of this concept is its focus on explaining everyday life. The relevance of studying social practices lies in the fact that they express a set of socially acceptable mod-els of human behavior. The author's statement that social practices are a way of forming per-sonal identification becomes significant and fundamental. The novelty of the work lies in the fact that personal identification of a per-son is realized in the form of social practices that acquire a normative basis and regulate the social being of a person.
Beyond the Ivory Tower: science policy and well-ordered science in the mod-ern world
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy,  Russian Academy of Sciences, Tukhvatulina Liana A.
Published: December 2024

The author analyzes some of the features of the concept of “well-ordered science” by Philip Kitcher. This concept captures the need for changes in science policy as the dialogue between science and politics grows. The main feature of these changes should be a deeper relationship between ethical and epistemic aspects of decision-making in science. The au-thor takes a critical position in relation to this concept. The author shows that the image of “well-ordered science” creates only a fiction of democratization in science policy. In turn, the approach to organizing the discussion about the allocation of funding and the choice of priorities in research also does little to contribute to the real openness of science. The author comes to the conclusion that alt-hough a “well-organized science” should be focused on finding a compromise in the bal-ance of interests between scientists and peo-ple outside of science, in fact the American philosopher takes the extreme position of a technocrat and advocates “expert decision-ism.” The author believes that the search for a middle path between technocratism and populism is hampered by a crisis of trust in modern science. The article gives a brief de-scription of this situation. The author claims that the growing distrust of the intellectual and political elites in the modern world should be understood in the context of the post-truth thesis, which aims at combating “cognitive authoritarianism”. From the au-thor's point of view, in a post-truth situation, each of us needs criteria on the basis of which we could delegate trust to experts or other bearers of knowledge without fear of falling into the trap of gullibility. As one of these cri-teria, the author proposes the principle of ep-istemic vigilance – a small list of questions that will allow an individual to clarify the grounds on which he shares certain beliefs.
“The Transhumanist Wager” as an offer you cannot refuse
Authors:   Russian Society for History and Philosophy of Science, Shibarshina Svetlana Viktorovna
Published: December 2024

The article examines a few features of scien-tific utopias and their historical transformation in today’s techno-utopias on the example of Z. Istvan’s novel ‘The Transhumanist Wager’. The study elucidates some particular traits of F. Bacon's project – a significant pioneer in this respect – and peculiarizes it among other mer-itocratic utopias. On the one hand, the author accentuates the differentiation between the truths of religion and the truths of science in Bacon’s ‘New Atlantis’, and, on the other hand, she emphasizes the harmonious combi-nation of the religious, spiritual and scientific life in Bensalem. It is noted that science and technology progress here, despite the ex-pressed experimental aspect, is not an end in itself but a most important means in the soci-ety’s striving to the perfect state of humanity before the Fall. In contrast, Z. Istvan's techno-utopian project relies on the principles of transhumanism and pragmatic utility. The sec-ond part the article depicting Istvan's trans-humanist manifesto reveals the most essential content of the “Teleological Egocentric Func-tionalism”. It is the basic principle that under-lies the philosophy shared by Jethro Knights, the protagonist of ‘The Transhumanist Wager’, who implemented it in the new global state of Transhumania. The author accentuates the fact that in Zoltan’s techno-utopia the most signifi-cant representatives of society are science and technology specialists, transhumanists and fu-turologists, who mostly determine the socio-political trends of Transhumania. The meritoc-racies of the Modern period, including the ‘New Atlantis’, significantly proceeded from the pursuit of knowledge of the Universe and its laws established by God, and scientists act-ed there as intermediaries between the di-vine and the human. As for Istvan’s techno-utopia, its scientists, on their path of gaining socio-political power, are driven by a complex of factors: a transhumanistic worldview, ex-treme rational individualism, an all-consuming thirst for immortality, total conviction in the truth of global evolutionism, ruthless intolerance of dissent, and forcibly implanted faith that science and technology with a total ra-tionalization of everything is the only way to social progress and universal happiness. The author concludes that although Z. Istvan’s ideas do not represent the whole of transhuman-ism, this diverse movement in general is fraught with the possibility of legitimizing technocratic authoritarianism.
Historical memory and historical competence of the Russia’s citizens: the sociological dimension
Authors:   Institute of Sociology of FCTAS RAS, Barash Raisa E.
Published: December 2024

Applying to the results of the sociological sur-vey, developed by the FCTAS RAS and devoted to the study of the peculiarities of the histori-cal memory of the contemporary Russia’s citi-zens and their perception of the national his-torical symbols, the author emphasizes the empirical data that demonstrate the decline both of the citizens’ level of historical compe-tence and a sense of pride towards almost all key historical events. Awareness of the states' history is naturally weaking and most popular symbols of national pride are gradually fading into the past. Whereas recent historical events are hardly perceived as socially signifi-cant and important. There is also a gradual de-ideologization of historical knowledge; one can see that Soviet and non-Soviet compo-nents are tightly intertwined within the framework of socially recognized values. Alt-hough the interest towards the historical past is quite high among the Russia’s citizens they are hardly interested in serious historical re-search. The main sources of historical infor-mation are journalistic and non-scientific ma-terials: historical feature films, documentaries and serials, as well as the Internet. Interest towards family history is gradually increasing, family memory is increasingly turning into a serious source not only of information about national history, but also into a factor that de-termines the attitude towards the official ver-sion of national history and towards civic identity. At the same time, the absence of a painful obsession in the Russian society, espe-cially among young people, on the past clearly testifies to a constructive desire to assess the past, avoid a “war for history.”
Dystopia in memes or memes in dystopia? Reflections on digital culture
Authors:   South Ural State University (National Research Universi-ty), Penner Regina V.
Published: December 2024

The article continues reflections on the plan for the representation of dystopia in memes. The article proposes to refer to memes not only through the plan of expression, but rather consider them as an integral part of digital reality and culture. By referring to the works of media researchers, such as N. Couldry and A. Hepp with the concept of “mediatization” and J. van Dijk with the concept of “connection”, the idea is introduced that media (primarily digital media) are no longer indifferent conductors of information. On the contrary, by means of algorithms that are obtained on the basis of processing Big Data, they are able to correct and regulate the life of a person and society. This prompts us to ask questions about the possibility of whether digital reality has turned into a project of a realized dystopia, and to look at memes as a way for web users to express freedom.
Dispersion of dystopia: destroying monuments
Authors:   South Ural State University (National Research University), Dydrov Artur A.
Published: December 2024

The article fixes the answers to the funda-mental remarks about Artur A. Dydrov’s article “Distopia on the Internet: What's new have memes given to the genre?” The object of critical analytics embraced mainly memes as an actual form of representation of dystopia and a modern phenomenon of culture and communication. It should be noted that the authors have not practically discussed dysto-pia as a subject of the designated publication. The papers describe the language of the digi-tal age and specific language formats, among which memes have a titular position. An anal-ysis of the critical content indicates that among specialists in the field of social scienc-es and the humanities there is no consensus either on the definition of a meme or on the assessment of its cultural potential. Contradic-tory statements and debatable ideas are di-rectly indicated in the papers (mainly they re-late to the topic of mythologization), and many of them can, undoubtedly, become a starting point for further research both in the field of “memetics”, and the areas of digital studies, digital anthropology, cultural studies, etc. The author thanks all the colleagues who have suggested their detailed comments full of productive ideas.
The normative nature of a person's civic identity
Authors:   Saratov State Law Academy, Erokhin Vladimir S.
Published: December 2024

The purpose of the work is to determine the basic properties of the normative nature of the civil identity of a person. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to solve a number of tasks: (1) to identify the content of the concept of “a person’s civil identity” and determine the meaning of its individual and collective ele-ments in order to achieve a sense of belong-ing to a certain social group; (2) to determine the structural elements of a person's civil identity and demonstrate their normative na-ture. The paper uses a systematic approach that allows to identify the logical content, form a holistic view of the content of the concept of «civil identity» and determine its normative nature. A critical method is ap-plied, which consists in a rethinking of the normative nature of the elements of a per-son's civic identity. The results obtained and the main conclusions of the study are that the civil identity of a person is interpreted as a set of norms regulating various statuses of a person, as well as self-awareness as a social being with formally fixed and emotionally as-sessed characteristics in a certain way. The relevance of the work lies in the fact that civil identity can be considered as one of the sig-nificant conditions for the formation and suc-cessful functioning of civil society. It is this kind of social identity of a person that can be interpreted as a way to meet the need for development and rooting of ideas that con-tribute to the unification of society and the state. The achievement of civic identity allows us to protect the state from entropic phe-nomena, from expansion and absorption by other states, cultures and nations. In addition, civic identity makes it possible to form a polit-ically mature and socially responsible member of society. The novelty of the work lies in the fact that the normative content of a person's civil identity is interpreted as one of the forms of the state's identity policy.
Theoretical ways to understanding the historical process
Authors:   National Research Lobachevsky State University of Nizhni Novgorod, Astashova Nadezhda D.
Published: December 2024

The article focuses on the problem of incon-sistency and confusion of understanding the historical process. The researcher faces the task of analyzing theoretical approaches, which help to constructhistorical reality as a worldview system that allows deploying the types of activities necessary for society in re-lation to past experience and knowledge. The method of comparative analysis aims to un-derstand the existing historical concepts, identifying their uniqueness and validity of application as a scientific approach. The re-search examines the cultural and civilizational approach, historical progress, evolutionary approach, “thought event”, and history as the development of thinking. Conclusions are drawn that, striving to understand his or her existence in the world, a person discovers the need for universal tools, a form that captures both the results of cognitive activity and the essence, patterns of development. The varia-bility of theoretical approaches allows us to include in our knowledge of history all the va-riety of changeable forms of being, and the dominance of certain theories in the public consciousness reflects only a change of think-ing in relation to the temporary situation. As a scientific approach, existing theoretical ap-proaches are unlikely to be able to solve the problem of confusion and inconsistency in understanding history. Nevertheless, as a sys-tem of preserving historical information, they allow reproducing the types of activities nec-essary for society in relation to past experi-ence and knowledge. It is important to note that the understanding of history as a form of being that includes scientific concepts pre-supposes a certain integrity of perception of the historical process based on significant his-torical approaches to understanding the past and present. Undoubtedly, the historical pro-cess requires a critical rethinking, the addi-tion of new contexts to existing facts and events – this determines the use of various historical approaches due to their ability to reflect a diverse view of the problem and identify more significant relationships of what is happening.
Affective-aesthetic factor in the development of science in terms of evolu-tionary epistemology
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy, Rus-sian Academy of Sciences, Zharov Alexander M.
Published: December 2024

This paper raises the problem that affects and aesthetic preferences of a scientist play an important role in scientific activity. This fact comes into sharp contradiction with the usual view of science as a previously rational prac-tice. The first half of the article, based on em-pirical material, demonstrates the evident significance of these factors. The second half suggests the hypothesis that the described contradiction is most easily removed in the view of the development of science in terms of evolutionary epistemology, in particular, through the concept of “substitution selec-tion”. It implies the stratification of selection into many stages, and at each stage variations are tested without direct collision with the environment. Yet, the condition for the ap-pearance of a separate level is its independ-ence, the intrinsic value of its selection crite-ria and the absence of their orientation to the ultimate goal of evolution. Science acquires such self-worth. Many scientists do not look for rational practical benefits in science – it is a value in itself. This value for the scientists themselves does not rely on a rational reason, but a practical benefit. Aesthetic and affective criteria are also substitutive selectors within the scientific selector. In evolutionary devel-opment, this may be important insofar as aes-thetic canons correspond to the standards of scientific virtues. The adoption of this ap-proach may have its consequences for the methodology of science, hypothetically coin-ciding with the approach of B. Latour. Thus, the main assumption of this article is that the contradiction between affectivity and ration-ality in science can be removed by applying the means of the evolutionary-epistemological approach. The novelty of this assumption is that practically no one has pre-viously problematized the described contra-diction in terms of the evolutionary-epistemological approach and made attempts to solve it through this approach.
Reorganization of the question of the correlation of Being and Time in the late philosophy of M. Heidegger
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Oleinik Varvara A.
Published: December 2024

The article analyzes the problem of transfor-mation of ontological relations between the key elements – being and time – in the late philosophy of M. Heidegger. In the fundamen-tal ontology “early” M. Heidegger substanti-ates the ontological correlation between be-ing and time through an ontological interme-diary – Dasein. Considerable attention is paid to the thesis of the foundation clause as the central thesis of M. Heidegger's late philoso-phy. The article touches upon the topic of the transformation relation in the context of Heidegger's interpretation of the foundation position and clarifies its features. In connection with this circumstance, the transformation of the interpretation of the ontological difference between being and be-ing in accordance with M. Heidegger's inter-pretation of the ground position is comment-ed on. The ontological difference in the late period takes the form of a special type of transformation relation, which is an indication of existence itself (being). Two aspects of the change in the ontology of the late M. Heidegger were identified and substanti-ated, among which were: the rejection of the central role of Dasein and, as a consequence, the rejection of the identification of time and temporality. As part of the research, this arti-cle highlights and describes the characteristic features of the main ontology phenomena of the late period of M. Heidegger's philosophy: posturing, co-existence, space-time clearance, thinking. The ontology, which combines these concepts into a single system, has been reconstructed in basic terms. Based on the study of the correlation of being and time in philosophy after the “turn”, it is established that such a philosophy can be called neometaphysics.
Publication as a death of the author
Authors:   RAS Institute of Philosophy, Kasavin Ilya T.
Published: December 2024

The article introduces the term “coercion to publication”, or “publishing pressure” the meaning of which is set by modern science and education policy. The author puts for-ward a hypothesis about the coercion to pub-lication as a form of practical implementation of the normative regulations of modern Rus-sian scientific and educational institutions in order to achieve the benchmarks of state programs and projects. This hypothesis is tested by comparing with the results of an express survey and in-depth interviews con-ducted by the author of the article. In these empirical studies, the interviewees are em-ployees of Russian scientific and educational organizations, specialists in the field of phi-losophy and humanities. Interpretation of the data obtained in the context of the hypothe-sis leads to the conclusion about the ambiva-lence of the authors’ orientations. On the one hand, they declare the need to engage in scientific research and actively publish the results. On the other hand, they report insuf-ficient external and internal conditions for publication activity. On the third hand, the external coercion to publish appears as gen-erally weak and ineffective. The result is a picture in which employees, management, and the government proclaim good goals that are far from being realized in practice and thus provoke ethical deviations. A quantita-tive reduction of publications seems to be one of the means for achieving the quality of science.
Social epistemology and honest epistemic agent
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences, Kostina Alina O.
Published: December 2024

This article presents a number of prospects on social epistemology and its role in the search of objective knowledge. Any meaningful at-tempt to highlight either grand or partial im-portance of social context in science was seen as quite negative in the classical model of sci-ence. It was perceived as a shift away from the universal scientific model, therefore, claims for objective knowledge were left be-hind. Moreover, the traditional image of sci-entist is deprived of their subjective selfness, which facilitates the diversity of epistemic agents, as well as situations, characterized as epistemic. Honest epistemic agent is charac-terized with their relatively coherent under-standing of the role in scientific practice. First of all, they comprehend the position they take among other epistemic agents and their equally valuable research results. Next, they acknowledge the institutional position and a number of communicative practices related to them. Finally, they are not trying to reduce or decontextualize the received knowledge. There is also a clear understanding of knowledge as incorporated intro broader so-cial and political reality, along with a possibil-ity of these facts to influence the process of cognition and lead to some cognitive distor-tions. Creating and describing such sort of an image make possible the conversation of a more flexible and open epistemic agent, still grounded in epistemic normativity.
Practical philosophy of feminism: social, political, ethical, and legal aspects
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences, Voronina Olga A.
Published: December 2024

The article examines the most fruitful period of the formation of feminist theories – the last third of the twentieth century. It was then that conceptual models of explaining the causes of discrimination against women emerged. This was largely due to researchers in social and humanities studies who joined the analysis of this problem. The article focus-es on the so-called “practical philosophy” of feminism, since it emphasizes the need of re-flecting its worldview positions in real life. Three main trends are distinguished. One re-fers to the search for the causes of women’s discrimination and the construction of ex-planatory models of this global phenomenon based on empirical data of sciences. The other involves analysis and criticism of traditional socio-philosophical theories in which this phenomenon was ignored. The third trend re-fers to the discovery of new problem areas and the development of practical solutions to real social issues. The author shows the inte-gration of feminist ideas and practices into in-ternational legal documents on gender equal-ity. It is noted that since the beginning of the 21st century there have been significant changes in the feminist “agenda”. On the one hand, this was facilitated by criticism from non-Western feminists, which led to a disper-sion of research areas, applied methodologies and put forward goals. In other words, there were even more “feminisms” and they could not always find a common language among themselves. On the other hand, along with the strengthening of the conservative wave, its supporters have intensified criticism of feminism. Intellectually, the onset of the “post” era played its negative role resulting in such trends as postmodernism, postfeminism, postgenderism, and posthumanism. At the same time, it is obvious that the intellectual and social achievements of feminist theory have firmly entered the intellectual culture of global humanity.
Philosophical dialogue in the process of human-machine communication. How does the “Digital Socrates” act?
Authors:   V.I. Vernadsky Crimean Federal University, Zarapin Oleg V.
Published: December 2024

The article raises the problem of the specifics of the philosophical dialogue carried out in the process of human-machine communica-tion. The author puts forward the thesis that the practice of dialogue in philosophical cul-ture in its source has the meaning of reflexive activity, relevant to interpersonal communi-cation. The peculiarity of the practice of phil-osophical dialogue is demonstrated from the viewpoint of the communicative influence method, represented by the form of Socratic interlocution. There, reflection is an activity expressed by the concept of metanoia (μετάνοια) in the meaning of mental-change and aiming a person at achieving “superiority over himself”. The philosophical dialogue with the machine is considered from the viewpoint of the machine's ability to influence a person in the process of communication and initiate reflection as an experience of mental-change, analogous to Socratic metanoia. There are three models of communicative interaction between a person and a machine: (1) the “simulator” model, (2) the “interlocutor” model, and (3) the “philosophical interlocutor” model. Within the framework of the “philosophical interlocutor” model, the study identifies three scenarios of a human-machine dialogue (resistance, merger, and coopera-tion), in which the reflexive experience of mental-change is expressed by the idea that the mind is not immanent to the personality and a non-human mind is possible. The author concludes that the peculiarity of human-machine communication sets a new format for the philosophical culture of dialogue. A feature of this format is the impossibility for a person to convert the impact that a ma-chine has into a way of action learned by a person. This feature allows us to state that the machine is able to induce a person to reflection, but is not able to teach him or her a reflexive activity.
A gradient-based optimization approach to the inverse problem for multi-layered structures
Authors: Norgren Martin , He Sailing
Published: December 2024

A gradient-based optimization method is used to solve a frequency domain inverse problem for a multi-layered dielectric structure for which the permittivity, the position and the thickness of each layer are unknown. To overcome the problem of local minima, the inverse problem is solved in two steps. An optimization algorithm based on an ODE solver for a continuous profile is used in the first step to obtain a rough estimate of the multi-layered profile, with the help of a discontinuity marker. This estimated piecewise homogeneous profile is then used in the next step as the initial guess in an optimization algorithm based on a multi-layered propagation matrix.
