Authors: Kondratov Oleksii , Nikulina Olena
Published: February 2025

Today, interdisciplinary research in computer science and engineering has become increasingly relevant due to the growing demand for real-time data processing in object detection and tracking applications. The identification of dynamic object parameters plays a crucial role in various domains such as autonomous transportation systems, robotics, and surveillance. Effective automated acquisition and processing of video data represent a promising field for scientists and practitioners working in these interconnected disciplines. This research aims to enhance object detection and tracking processes by developing and implementing an information technology solution based on modern machine learning methods, including DETR (Detection Transformer), Optical Flow, and GeoNet. The research methodology involves designing software using Python programming language and modern libraries and frameworks for image and video processing. The DETR method was employed for precise object detection within video frames, Optical Flow was used to determine the direction and velocity of object movement, and GeoNet provided depth and geometric scene analysis. The proposed technology was tested on diverse video recordings depicting complex scenarios with dynamic conditions, such as varying lighting, object occlusions, and rapid motion changes. The results demonstrate the high accuracy and reliability of the proposed approach for identifying dynamic object parameters under various conditions. The integration of these methods significantly improved the precision and robustness of the detection and tracking system, particularly in challenging environments or low-quality video scenarios. The study concludes that the proposed information technology is effective and can be applied in practical fields such as autonomous systems, robotics, and video surveillance.
STUDY OF COMPATIBILITY OF METHODS AND TECHNOLOGIES OF HIGH-LEVEL PROTOCOLS AND ERROR-CORRECTING CODES
Authors: Sharov Vladyslav , Nikulina Olena
Published: February 2025

Since the year 2000, the fields of error-correction codes and Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) have undergone significant advancements driven by technological demands for higher reliability and security in communication systems. In error-correction codes, the development of turbo codes and Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes reached new heights, with LDPC codes being adopted in standards like 5G and Wi-Fi 6 for their near-Shannon-limit performance. This period saw groundbreaking contributions from researchers like David MacKay and Radford Neal, who refined LDPC algorithms, and Erdal Arıkan, who introduced polar codes in 2008. Polar codes have since been integrated into 5G systems due to their efficiency and low complexity, marking a milestone in modern coding theory. Advances in decoding methods, such as belief propagation and successive cancellation, further enhanced the utility of these codes in practical applications. Parallel to these developments, VPN technology evolved in response to the growing need for secure and private communication in an increasingly interconnected world. Enhanced encryption protocols such as IPsec and OpenVPN became widespread, supported by innovations in cryptography. Researchers like Hugo Krawczyk contributed to robust authentication mechanisms, such as the HMAC and IKEv2 protocols, ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of VPN tunnels. Meanwhile, the development of WireGuard in the mid-2010s, spearheaded by Jason A. Donenfeld, introduced a lightweight and highly secure VPN protocol, revolutionizing the way modern VPNs operate. These advancements addressed the escalating cyber threats and facilitated the secure exchange of data across global networks. The importance of studying error-correction codes and VPNs in the modern era cannot be overstated. Error-correction codes are integral to overcoming the challenges of high-noise environments, enabling reliable communication in technologies ranging from space exploration to massive IoT networks. Simultaneously, VPNs remain critical for preserving user privacy, securing corporate networks, and protecting sensitive data in the face of sophisticated cyberattacks. Emerging technologies like quantum computing and artificial intelligence introduce both opportunities and threats, necessitating continuous innovation in these fields. Exploring quantum error-correction codes and post-quantum cryptographic protocols represents a vital area for future research. By addressing these challenges, scientists and engineers can ensure the resilience and security of communication systems in an increasingly digital and interconnected world.

مناسبة الآيات في سورة نوح من منظور التحليل البلاغي السامي
Authors: Ariansyah Ariansyah , Asnawi Aqdi Rofiq , Suharto Ahmad
Published: February 2025

القرآن هو وحدة متينة، كهيكل بناء قوي لا يمكن فصله، ومترابط بشكل وثيق بين الآيات وبين السور فيه. ولكنّ يرى ريتشارد بيل خلاف ذلك، على سبيل المثال يعتقد أن سورة نوح ليست بشكل منهجي وهناك عدة أخطاء وأغلاط في وضع الآيات، خاصّة في الآية الخامسة فهي ليست في وحدة واحدة. فيهدف هذا البحث إلى كشف بنية سورة نوح بتطبيق أساس التحليلي البلاغي السامي على تلك السورة مطابقة بالبنية المتوازية أو المحورية أو المعكوسة. وذلك باستخدام الأسلوب التحليلي لمعالجة البيانات والإجابة على مشكلة البحث، مع المنهج التحليل البلاغي السامي لإيجاد البنية النصية من سورة نوح والمناسبة لإيجاد الارتباط بين الآيات فيها. ونتائج هذا البحث هي على حسب التحليلي البلاغي السامي تنكشف بنية سورة نوح حيث أنها مقطع واحد يحتوي على 3 أجزاء و7 أقسام وتشكل بنية محورية متوازية (أ ب /ₓ/ أ′ ب′). وكل قسم وجزء له علاقة بالأقسام والأجزاء الأخرى التي تدل على حسن المناسبة، حتى لم يكن هناك ترتيب آيات غير مرتبط بين الآيات السابقة والآيات اللاحقة، كما في الآيات 5-7 الذي يشرح دعوة نوح المكثفة ورفض قومه لدعوته. وهذا الاكتشاف يفنّد رأي رتشارد بيل، لأن كل آية في سورة نوح قادرة على أن تكون متماثلة مع آية أخرى من مستوي الأدنى إلى مستوى أعلى. وخلاصة هذا البحث أن سورة نوح منظمة بشكل منهجي ومرتبة بين آياتها.
REMOTE SENSING-BASED DISCRIMINATION OF HIGHLY FRACTIONATED GRANITE: AN APPLICATION FROM THE HUMR AKARIM AREA (southeastern desert, Egypt)

Published: February 2025

Image processing of multispectral data (Landsat-8 and ASTER) in combination with field studies and petrographic investigations was used for the lithologic mapping of the highly fractionated Humr Akarim (HA) granite pluton and the adjacent area in the Eastern Desert of Egypt. The image processing techniques applied include data transformation techniques such as band ratio, principal component analysis, and minimum noise fraction. Processing of Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) data is suitable for distinguishing the lithologic units of the HA granite pluton, which have similar mineralogy and chemical composition but differ in texture and microstructures. False Color Composite (FCC) image of the principal component based on standard deviation (PC4, PC2, and PC7 in RGB) is the most appropriate processing technique and effectively highlights significant geological features in HA granite pluton. In comparison to the HA granite pluton, analysis of Landsat images is more favorable and accurate in distinguishing the lithologic units, layering, and folding in the surrounding metavolcanoclastic rocks. Verification of the resulting geological map in the field shows high accuracy and reliability. The resulting geological map is more elaborated and detailed compared to previously published maps based only on field observations, petrographic studies, and chemical composition. It is suggests that the high-intensity lineaments zones detected on the Landsat 8 panchromatic band are zones of significant amounts of mineralization.
Tuning NO coverage promotes ampere-level electrosynthesis of a nylon-6 precursor

Published: February 2025

The electrocatalytic synthesis of cyclohexanone oxime from NO and cyclohexanone with high Faradaic efficiency at ampere-level current density is highly desirable but highly challenging. Here, theoretical calculations reveal that NO coverage on the Ag catalyst plays a critical role in cyclohexanone oxime electrosynthesis. We then adjust the local NO concentration experimentally by tuning the NO concentration and reaction rate. We find that low NO coverage benefits NH3 formation, whereas high coverage delivers cyclohexanone oxime and N-2 (N2O and N2) products. A mechanistic study indicates that with increasing NO coverage, the active sites transfer from bridge step sites to hollow terrace sites, which results in weaker adsorption of O* species, leading to the stable existence of the NH2OH* intermediate rather than decomposing to form NH₃. However, N‒N coupling also easily occurs at high NO coverage. This mechanistic understanding further inspires us to develop a doping strategy to break the equivalent catalyst surface sites, which can inhibit NO–NO coupling at high NO coverage and thus realize high cyclohexanone oxime Faradaic efficiency at high current density. A Ru-doped Ag catalyst is thus developed, realizing 86% cyclohexanone oxime Faradaic efficiency at a current density of 1.0 A cm− 2, far exceeding the reported performance.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS), resulting from an intricate interplay between genetic predisposition and environmental factors. Vitamin D (VD) deficiency is one of the established risk factors for MS. CD46 costimulation of CD4+ T cells induces a switch from Th1 to type I regulatory cells (Tr1), characterized by increased IL-10 production. This switch is impaired in MS T cells but can be restored by VD, which also strongly promotes expression of CD226 on CD46-activated T cells. The rs763361 polymorphism in the CD226 gene, resulting in a non-synonymous Gly307Ser variant, is associated with increased risk for MS. Herein, we show that expression of this CD226 risk allele disrupts the ability of CD46-activated T cells to operate the IFNγ/IL-10 switch upon VD exposure. Mechanistically, the risk variant impairs activation of the integrin LFA-1, which sustains homotypic adhesion associated with acquisition of the Tr1 phenotype. LFA-1-mediated Tr1 differentiation is also impaired in MS T cells expressing the CD226 risk allele upon CD46 and VD stimulation. Our study unveils how, in the context of MS susceptibility, a genetic polymorphism and an environmental factor act in concert to control the differentiation of Tr1 cells.
Semi-extensive shift-splitting preconditioner for indefinite least squares problem
Authors: Meng Lingsheng , Xin Kailiang , Li Peizhe
Published: February 2025

We present a semi-extensive shift-splitting preconditioner for a class of large and sparse indefinite least squares problem. The preconditioner is derived from an unconditionally convergent iterative method. Additionally, theoretical analysis proves that all eigenvalues of the preconditioned matrix are located in the positive interval $(0, 2)$. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the semi-extensive shift-splitting preconditioner significantly outperforms existing preconditioners in terms of both algorithm running time and number of iterations.

The Effect of Pre-trip Virtual Reality and Smart Devices on Accessible Tourism Experiences
Authors: Chan Chung-Shing , Wong Shing Yan , Agapito Dora , Tam Veleda
Published: February 2025

This study aims to identify the contribution of a pre-visit virtual reality (VR) experience and the use of smart devices (SDs) on accessible tourism by understanding their role in enhancing the experiences of visitors with reported hearing loss in Yim Tin Tsai Island, a rural tourism destination in Hong Kong. A total of 163 participants, including volunteers reporting various degrees of hearing impairment (HI) and without reported disabilities, were invited to the island for a self-guided visit. The participants were randomly assigned into four groups of prescribed experimental conditions characterized by whether a VR experience was administered before the visit and whether the use of SDs was allowed during the visit. Focus group discussions were conducted after each visit to understand the challenges faced by participants during the visit, solutions to overcome them, and their perceptions of the application of VR and SD. The results suggest that while the VR experience and SD use offer some benefits in enhancing participants’ tourism experience both practically and emotionally, visitors with hearing loss do not perceive them to be particularly helpful in resolving perceived barriers encountered and heightening their experiences on the island. Recommendations on the design of VR and the role of SDs for rural tourism experiences for all are proposed and discussed.

Authors: Kumari Sushmita , Kumar Kamlesh , Gaurav Ashutosh
Published: February 2025

In the era of the digital world, Fraud detection in financial services has become a significant area of research because of the rising complexity of financial transactions and the advanced nature of fraudulent activities due to the enormous number of online transactions through various modes. Machine learning approaches have gained popularity in tackling these issues because of their proficiency in analyzing extensive data and detecting minor patterns suggestive of fraudulent behavior instantly through real-time analytics. This paper provides a thorough review of the use of machine learning for fraud detection in Banking and Payment services. In this paper, we will discuss the area of fraud focusing on Banking and Payment Services. We also proposed the framework of the reviewed paper that comprises 3 stages, in the first stage we formulate the research question and in the second stage we define the methodology of the research that describes the Data source, inclusion, and exclusion criteria of the present study. In the third stage, we provide an in-depth analysis of existing literature related to fraud Detection in the Financial domain. The existing literature survey indicates that supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms are the most commonly used methods for detecting fraudulent transactions. Each algorithm was evaluated in reviewed papers in terms of suitability for different types of fraud scenarios and through the various accuracy measure metrics like precision, recall, F-Score, etc. Our findings reveal that Naïve Bayes, KNN, Deep Learning, Support Vector Machine, Decision Tree, ANN,XGBoost AdaBoost models are used to detect fraud in Payment System Ensemble approaches that combine multiple algorithms are also highlighted as effective strategies for enhancing detection performance. Finally, the review concludes with suggested future research directions and emerging trends in fraud detection, such as the rapid increase in wallet payments. We propose shifting focus toward making wallet payment systems more secure by developing robust and efficient algorithms.
Enriching Dyslexia Detection with Synthetic Data: A Comprehensive Study Featuring 50 Old Dyslexic Texts and 50 New Synthetic Variants
Authors: Fink Nora , Fink Michael
Published: February 2025

Early and accurate detection of dyslexia can dramatically impact how educational interventions are planned, enabling more effective assistance for individuals with reading and writing challenges (1). However, developing robust machine learning (ML) solutions for dyslexia detection requires a large, diverse corpus of dyslexic texts—something that can be difficult to obtain due to privacy, logistical, and sheer rarity constraints (2). In this study, we utilize a novel approach by using a Large Language Model (LLM)—namely Gemini 2.0 Flash—to generate synthetic dyslexic texts from a small corpus of 50 real “old dyslexic” texts. These synthetic texts, created in both German (DE) and US English (US), serve to enrich training data and improve classification performance (3). We focus on three essential tasks: (i) discriminating 50 normal (non-dyslexic) texts from 50 old dyslexic texts, (ii) discriminating 50 normal texts from 50 new synthetic dyslexic texts, and (iii) discriminating 50 old dyslexic texts from 50 new synthetic ones (4). Each classification scenario is examined through both supervised CatBoost classifiers and unsupervised clustering (K-Means, HDBSCAN). Our results show that while some tasks are straightforward (e.g., normal vs. synthetic dys), others such as distinguishing old dys from newly generated dys are more challenging, indicating that synthetic samples share numerous stylistic features with authentic dyslexic writing (5). This paper combines empirical analysis, data visualization, confusion matrix evaluation, and in-depth discussion of ML-based text classification strategies. In sum, we observe that LLM-based synthetic text generation can provide a valuable supplement to real-world data, supporting both research and potential real-world system deployments. Furthermore, the confusion matrices and F1-scores displayed in Figures 1–4 serve as an evidence-based narrative illustrating the strengths and limitations of synthetic data augmentation in dyslexia classification (6).
CCASL: Counterexamples to Comparative Analysis of Scientific Literature - Application to Polymers
Authors: TCHAGOUE Aymar , EGLIN Véronique , PRUVOST Sébastien , PETIT Jean-Marc , DUCHET-RUMEAU Jannick , GERARD Jean-Francois
Published: February 2025

The exponential growth of scientific publications has made the exploration and comparative analysis of scientific literature increasingly complex and difficult.For instance, eliciting two scientific publications that diverge on widely accepted concepts within their domain turns out to be more and more difficult despite its great interest.We are interested in the automatic detection of these discrepancies using the latest artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. Given a particular scientific domain, we focus on large-scale analysis of the tables present in related scientific publications and propose to capture domain knowledge with arbitrary functions.In this setting, we propose a five-step method, called CCASL: (1) Modeling the domain knowledge with functions expressed as approximate functional dependencies (FDs), (2) Acquiring a corpus of scientific documents related to the proposed functions, (3) Analysing all tables occurring in the PDF documents and producing a consolidated table from them, (4) Detecting counterexamples of the FDs in the consolidated table, and (5) Conducting a comparative analysis of the pairs of papers containing the detected counterexamples. We have applied CCASL to a subfield of polymer research, known as Epoxy-Amine networks (EA). In collaboration with material scientists, we have identified an intuitive function \(f_{EA}\) that relates the storage modulus \((SM)\), the structure of the polymer \((V_{EA})\), and its glass transition temperature \((T_g)\). Based on this function, we have implemented all the 5 steps of CCASL. First results show that CCASL is proving to be a powerful approach for bibliographic confrontation in the field of polymers.
Engineering Geological Characterization of Proposed Sabaloka Dam Site
Authors: Hassan Mohmmed
Published: February 2025

The Sabaloka dam is located at the Sabaloka igneous complex on the sixth cataract of the Nile, proposed for multi-purposes, mainly for hydro-power generation and irrigation in addition to help in minimizing the siltation for the Merwe dam to the north. Moreover, it will represent an excellent habitant for fisheries in the lake behind the dam.
The study relied on field tests, well data, and analysis, in addition to the structural analysis of fractures in the examined site.
Observing the results of drilling, the three boreholes are usually identical in lithology, where silt sands and conglomerates appear, but there is some difference in the depth of aggregation, in addition to the difference in the designation of rock quality (RQD), which decreases in borehole 403 in the left channel, due to the existence of Two sets of joints across the dextral fault.
The proposed dam axis is located in the relatively less fractured Agglomeratic rocks. The main fracture trends are NW and NE directions and cut, respectively, the western and eastern flanks of the dam axis.
Family, political power and money in the Neoplatonic School of Athens
Authors: Brisson Luc.
Published: February 2025

How was the Neoplatonic School of Athens able to maintain itself for more than a century at Athens, in a hostile environment, while being the target of the opposition of the Christians who were not only in the majority, but also held political power? These are the questions this text seeks to answer. Although it does not promise any earth-shaking discovery, it will try to sketch a clear and precise portrait of the Neoplatonic School of Athens on the family, political and economic level.
Cicero’s mistake and denied conjunctions: did Stoic logic include six indemonstrables?
Authors: López-Astorga Miguel
Published: February 2025

Cicero attributes an inference schema that is not logically valid to Stoic logic. This fact has been deemed as a Cicero’s mistake. However, in this paper, I assume the thesis that Cicero was not actually wrong and that, by means of his schema, he could be showing us interesting aspects of Stoicism that are not clear in the ancient sources. In this way, I use the mental models theory as a methodological tool and argue that the case of Cicero’s mistake allows us to suppose that there were six indemonstrables in Stoic logic, and not five

Цицерон приписывает схему вывода, которая не является логически, стоической логике. Этот факт был расценен как ошибка самого Цицерона. Однако в данной статье я формулирую тезис о том, что Цицерон на самом деле не был неправ и что с помощью своей схемы он мог указывать на интересные аспекты стоицизма, которые не ясны в античных источниках. Таким образом, я использую теорию ментальных моделей в качестве методологического инструмента и утверждаю, что случай с ошибкой Цицерона позволяет нам предположить, что в стоической логике было шесть недоказуемых положений, а не пять.
Длинная рука воспитания
Authors: Светлов Р.В. , Алымова Е.В.
Published: February 2025

Многие современные ученые используют термины «либерализм» и «либеральные идеи» некритично с исторической точки зрения. Так, можно предположить, что суждения Платона из «Государства» об отсутствии в Каллиполисе внешних регламентаций для деятельности «экономического сословия» (425 d–e) напоминают идеи политэкономии Адама Смита. Однако данные суждения вызваны не либеральным настроем Платона, а тем, что в Каллиполисе сфера политического отчуждена от экономики. Этот пример подсказывает насколько важно учитывать реальный исторический контекст любого из суждений античных авторов, насколько это возможно.
Греческая арифмология: Пифагор или Платон?
Authors: Жмудь Л.Я.
Published: February 2025

В статье рассматриваются истоки популярного в поздней античности жанра арифмологии, первым образцом которого стал анонимный неопифагорейский трактат I в. до н.э. Арифмологию как особый жанр философских сочинений, посвященных свойствам первых десяти чисел, следует отличать от числового символизма, который является универсальным культурным феноменом, связанным с отдельными значимыми числами (три, семь и т.д.). Как показывает наш анализ, философская основа арифмологии была заложена трактатом преемника Платона Спевсиппа О пифагорейских числах, который опирался на платоновское учение о десяти идеальных числах, в то время как у древних пифагорейцев арифмологические представления не засвидетельствованы, в отличие от числового символизма. В I в. до н.э., эпоху возрождения платонизма и аристотелеизма, идеи Спевсиппа получили второе рождение, что и положило начало арифмологии как литературному жанру.
Что есть человек? Абрис ответа в Протрептике Аристотеля и его обоснование и развитие в последующих работах Стагирита

Автор статьи стремится продемонстрировать, как Аристотель, выдвинув в «Протрептике» идею о том, что самость человека, по сути, тождественна разумной «части» его души и что именно в ней заключено его «блаженство», «божественность» и «бессмертие», обосновывает и развивает эту доктрину в последующих своих работах, прежде всего в сочинениях «Метафизика», «О душе» и «Никомахова этика»
Античный этнотопоним на карте ал-Идриси.
Authors: Коновалова И.Г.
Published: February 2025

Статья посвящена рецепции античных топонимов и географических образов в средневековой арабской географии. Этот вопрос рассматривается на примере географического сочинения ал-Идриси (середина XII в.), который использовал античные мифопоэтические и географические образы для описания окраинных областей ойкумены. В статье проанализировано сообщение ал-Идриси о «Русской реке», горе Кукайа и народе ан-н.бариййа, идентификация которого до сих пор является дискуссионной проблемой. Рассмотрение состава сообщения ал-Идриси о горе Кукайа позволило сопоставить его с распространенным в античной и раннесредневековой географии образом Рипейских гор, с которым было неразрывно связано представление об обитающем за ними народе гипербореев, а также о текущей с них и впадающей в Черное море реке Танаис (Дон). Было обнаружено соответствие между античным образом Рипейских гор и берущего в них начало Танаиса, с одной стороны, и описанием горы Кукайа и стекающей с нее «Русской реки» — с другой, что привело к заключению о том, что этнотопоним ан-н.бариййа был также связан с античной географией и представлял собой искаженную арабскую передачу имени «гипербореи». При этом имевшаяся в распоряжении ал-Идриси информация о северных городах Восточной Европы позволила насытить современной арабскому автору топонимией древние географические образы.
Гесихий Милетский и его биография Аристотеля
Authors: Егорочкин М.В.
Published: February 2025

Данная работа состоит из двух частей. Первая часть является вводной. В ней рассматриваются все имеющиеся свидетельства о жизни и сочинениях Гесихия Милетского, историка и энциклопедиста VI века. Здесь же дается краткий обзор посвященной ему научной литературы. В ходе обсуждения высказываются новые соображения о назначении и датировке Истории римской и всеобщей, одного из сочинений, приписываемых Гесихию. В частности, выдвигается предположение, что оно было написано в первые годы правления императора Юстиниана Ι и, возможно, предназначалась для воспитания и образования Иоанна, сына Гесихия. Вторая часть работы представляет собой перевод биографии Аристотеля, которая со времен Валентина Розе приписывается Гесихию и, как считается, входила в его Именослов, или Указатель именитых писателей. Главная ценность этой биографии – обширный список аристотелевских сочинений. Перевод оснащен индексом соответствий между списком Гесихия и двумя другими дошедшими до нас списками – Диогена Лаэртия и Птолемея ал-Гариба, а также краткими примечаниями.

«На удивление связная» Вторая Аналитика
Authors: Юнусов А.Т.
Published: February 2025

Статья является рецензией на недавнее крупное исследование, посвященное целостному истолкованию «Второй аналитики». С одной стороны, в ней дается общий очерк идей, используемых Бронштейном для сложного дела интерпретации учения «Второй аналитики», с другой – рассматривается состоятельность некоторых из этих идей. В частности, подвергается критике как плохо обоснованная текстом концепция двух моделей доказательств, а также демонстрируется, что предлагаемый Бронштейном набор «ингредиентов» науки не может быть правильным, поскольку не согласуется с теми примерами построения доказательств, которые дает сам Аристотель. 

The present article is a review of the recent comprehensive study of the doctrines of Aristotle’s Posterior Analytics. I outline the ideas used by D. Bronstein in his interpretation of the Posterior Analytics, inspecting, at the same time, soundness of some of these ideas. Among other points, I show that Bronstein's conception of two models of demonstration is not really supported by the text of the Posterior Analytics and that the set of "ingredients" of demonstrative science offered by him cannot be correct, since it is at odds with the examples of the arrangement of demonstrations offered by Aristotle himself.
The requirements of science according to Proclus the Neoplatonist
Authors: Terezis C. , Petridou L.
Published: February 2025

In this study, focusing our attention on Proclus’ comments on the Platonic dialogue Alcibiades I, one of the greatest epistemological texts of the ancient Greek literature, we follow his attempt to show a philosophy of subject. More specifically, we investigate the terms in which science can be acquired by a thinking subject, which forms its broader existential identity utilizing its relation to knowledge, which subsequently can be used so as to the quality of a counsellor to be established too. Systematic learning and research are methodologically considered to be the main ways for making science, while the psychological factor and the intention of the thinking subject to turn to itself in order to gradually discover the completeness that a priori possesses are also quite important. Note that this turn towards the self reaches the highest possible point with insight.

В данной работе, на основе Комментария Прокла к Первому Алкивиаду Платона (который можно считать одним из важнейших эпистемологических текстов в истории античной литературы), мы рассматриваем неоплатоническую теорию субъекта. Более конкретно, мы изучаем условия достижения научного знания мыслящим субъектом, которое, через познание, формирует его экзистенциальную идентичность в более широком смысле этого слова. Систематическое познание и исследования рассматриваются в качестве основных условий формирования науки, тогда как психологический фактор и последовательное самопознание мыслящего субъекта также играют немаловажную роль. Примечательно, что это обращение к себе высшей точки достигает лишь благодаря просветлению.
SENECA ON GRATITUDE AND JUSTICE: HOW TO TRANSLATE EP. 81, 19?
Authors: SEREGIN A.
Published: February 2025

In this paper I discuss how to translate a rather ambiguous passage in Seneca’s “Letters to Lucilius” (81, 19), where he either I) opposes gratitude to justice for the reason that the former is the agent’s own good and the latter regards other people’s interests or, II) quite to the contrary, draws an analogy between these virtues, pointing out that both of them constitute the agent’s own good. Both these alternatives seem grammaticaly possible and can be found in modern translations of this “Letter” into main European languages. I argue in favour of II) on the ground that it agrees better with general perfectionist approach to virtues that Seneca espouses in this context.

В этой статье я рассматриваю вопрос, как лучше перевести довольно двусмысленное место в «Письмах к Луцилию» Сенеки (81, 19), где он либо I) противопоставляет благодарность справедливости на том основании, что первая является собственным благом морального агента, а вторая заботится об интересах других людей, либо II), совсем напротив, проводит аналогию между этими двумя добродетелями, указывая, что обе они представляют собой собственное благо агента. Обе эти альтернативы кажутся возможными с грамматической точки зрения и встречаются в современных переводах данного письма на основные европейские языки. Я привожу аргументы в пользу II), показывая, что такой перевод лучше согласуется с общим перфекционистским подходом к добродетелям, которого Сенека придерживается в этом контексте.
Reading a Woman (Republic 454d)
Authors: Protopopova I. , Garadja A.
Published: February 2025

The article analyzes a passage from Plato’s Republic that has long since caused confusion and debate amongst editors and translators: οἷον ἰατρικὸν μὲν καὶ ἰατρικὴν τὴν ψυχὴν [ὄντα] τὴν αὐτὴν φύσιν ἔχειν ἐλέγομεν· οὐκ οἴει; (R. 454d1-3 Burnet). Can ἰατρικὴ τὴν ψυχὴν translate as ‘capable of healing psychically’ and refer to a female doctor, or is this passage “hopelessly corrupt” (Slings), the feminine flexion in ἰατρική only putting the reader off the track? The authors give a brief summary of the readings and emendations proposed by various editors and commentators, and offer their own interpretation of the passage guided by its philosophical context, relying on Plato’s redefinition of physis and his sustained attention to the eidos of the different and the identical, τῆς ἑτέρας and τῆς αὐτῆς φύσεως (R. 453b5-456a4). The phrase about “doctor and doctor in soul ” fits into this context only if we consider these “doctors” opposites in the physical sense and correlatives socially. From this perspective, it makes sense to read ἰατρικὸν μὲν καὶ ἰατρικὴν τὴν ψυχὴν as the correlation of the different (male and female) within the identical (aptitude for healing).

В статье анализируется фраза из платоновского «Государства», давно вызывавшая недоумение и споры у издателей и переводчиков: οἷον ἰατρικὸν μὲν καὶ ἰατρικὴντὴν ψυχὴν [ὄντα] τὴν αὐτὴν φύσιν ἔχειν ἐλέγομεν· οὐκ οἴει; (R. 454d1-3 Burnet). Означает ли ἰατρικὴν τὴν ψυχὴν ‘способную к врачеванию в душе’ женщину-врача, или это место «безнадежно испорчено» (Slings) и женское окончание в ἰατρική является недоразумением? Авторы дают краткий свод исправлений и их обоснований у различных издателей и комментаторов и предлагают свое собственное толкование данного фрагмента. Оно базируется на философском контексте данной фразы и связано с платоновским переопределением «природы» и уяснением эйдоса «иного» и «тождественного» (R. 453b5-456a4). Фраза о «враче и враче в душе» вписывается в этот контекст, только если считать этих «врачей» противоположными в физическом смысле, но родственными в социальном. Исходя из такой перспективы, ἰατρικὸν μὲν καὶ ἰατρικὴν τὴν ψυχὴν логично прочитываются как взаимоотношения иного (мужского и женского) внутри тождественного (склонности к врачеванию).
Атараксия в пирронизме
Authors: Маслов Д.К.
Published: February 2025

Данное исследование посвящено экспликации понятия атараксии в пирронизме Секста Эмпирика ввиду неадекватной, по нашему мнению, интерпретации этого понятия М. Габриэлем. Этот исследователь понимает атараксию как тотальный квиетизм и выводит из этого противоречивость программы Секста Эмпирика, поскольку полная бездеятельность несовместима с основной деятельностью скептика - поиском. В первой части статьи мы даем общий обзор роли атараксии в пирронизме Секста Эмпирика и проводим выявление предпосылок Габриэля, указывая на некорректность его понимания атараксии, тогда как во второй части статьи мы показываем, что атараксия понималась не в качестве тотального спокойствия (Габриэль), но как отсутствие душевного беспокойства, связанного с принятием мнений, и «умеренность в вынужденных восприятиях».

The paper aims to explicate the notion “ataraxia” in light of its untenable, as I argue, interpretation by M. Gabriel. This philosopher presupposes ataraxia as a total quietism and draws a conclusion, undesirable for Sextus, that the skeptical program of attaining the happiness, which is defined by Sextus as soul tranquility, is inconsistent since the sceptic can never be happy in virtue of incompatibility of inactivity with the skeptical investigation. The first part of the paper conveys the role of ataraxia in Sextus' Pyrrhonism as it is interpreted by Gabriel. In the second part, we come to define ataraxia not as a total quietism (as in Gabriel), but as a suspension of all judgments and a freedom of all distress.
Логическая структура эпикурейского возражения скептикам из Adv. Math. VIII, 337
Authors: Берестов И.В. , Тихонов А.В.
Published: February 2025

В настоящей статье предлагается способ анализа и формализации эпикурейского возражения скептикам из Adv. Math. VIII, 337, 6-9. Мы показываем значимость понимания этого возражения для анализа ответа на него Секста Эмпирика, каковой ответ продолжает обсуждаться историками философии. Эпикурейцы доказывают, что скептики не могут критиковать доказательство эпикурейцев, поскольку критикуя их доказательство, скептики мыслят нечто отличное от исходного доказательства, так что исходное доказательство остаётся незатрагиваемым любой критикой. Мы объясняем, в каком смысле можно говорить об использовании в эпикурейском возражении холистического допущения, используемого самим Секстом и некоторыми философами до него. В итоговой формализации, используя технические средства современной эпистемической логики, мы показываем, что рассуждение эпикурейцев может быть проинтерпретировано как логически корректное и исходящее из здравых посылок.

In this article we are offering a method of analysis and formalization of the Epicurean objection to the Skeptics from the Adversus mathematicos VIII, 337, 6-9. We emphasize the importance of this objection for understanding Sextus Empiricus' response to it, continuously discussed by the historians of philosophy. The Epicureans argue that the Skeptics cannot criticize their proof, because when the Skeptics are criticizing their proof, they think something different from the original proof, so that the original proof remains untouchable by any criticism. We explain in which sense the holistic assumption used by Sextus Empiricus and some philosophers before him can be used in the Epicurean objection to the Skeptics. In the final formalization we show that Epicureans' argument can be interpreted as logically correct and deduced from sound premises. In the course of arguing for this thesis we are using the technical means of contemporary epistemic logic.
Гераклид Понтийский и философская биография
Authors: Афонасин Е.В.
Published: February 2025

Гераклид Понтийский существенно отличается от других современных ему философских биографов, таких как Аристотель, Аристоксен или Дикеарх. Например, оставаясь во многом легендарной фигурой, Пифагор представлялся перипатетикам реальным человеком, основавшим в определенное время и в определенном месте важное философское и религиозное движение, влияние которого явственно ощущалось и в их время. Гераклида же, напротив, мало беспокоит правдоподобность тех историй, которые он рассказывает. Для него Пифагор, Эмпедокл и другие мудрецы и философы древности - это уникальные личности, наделенные сверхъестественными способностями, но в то же время выражающие платонический идеал созерцательной жизни. Статья продолжает предыдущие работы автора, посвященные философской биографии [ Schole 10 (2016) 271-282 and 11 (2017) 570-607].

Aristotle and his followers, such as Aristoxenus and Dicaearchus, present Pythagoras, the Pythagoreans and Empedocles as figures not entirely devoid of legendary features. At the same time the Peripatetic biographers do not fail to place them in proper historical setting as intellectuals, initiated important philosophical and religious movements. According to Dicaearchus, for instance, the sages are known for their highly practical maxims and general rules of right conduct; Pythagoras developed a new lifestyle and promulgated it in his public and private teaching; Socrates introduced a new form of intellectual and moral pursuit; while Plato founded an institutional framework for philosophical studies having thus paved the way to a systematic research, conducted by the Peripatetics, etc. In a striking contract with this, in the dialogues of their contemporary Heraclides of Pontus Pythagoras, Empedocles and other ancient philosophers are predominantly literary figures and super-heroes who’s supernatural powers are clearly beyond the reach of ordinary men. At the same time, the theories these fictitious personages profess are tailored according to a recognizably Platonic draft. In this work the present writer continues his studies of ancient biographic tradition initiated in a series of articles, published in two previous issues of the journal [ Schole 10 (2016) 271-282 and 11 (2017) 570-607].

YASTN: Yet another symmetric tensor networks; A Python library for Abelian symmetric tensor network calculations
Authors: Rams Marek , Wojtowicz Gabriela , Sinha Aritra , Hasik Juraj
Published: February 2025

We present an open-source tensor network Python library for quantum many-body simulations. At its core is an Abelian-symmetric tensor, implemented as a sparse block structure managed by a logical layer on top of a dense multidimensional array backend. This serves as the basis for higher-level tensor network algorithms operating on matrix product states and projected entangled pair states. An appropriate backend, such as PyTorch, gives direct access to automatic differentiation (AD) for cost-function gradient calculations and execution on GPU and other supported accelerators. We show the library performance in simulations with infinite projected entangled-pair states, such as finding the ground states with AD and simulating thermal states of the Hubbard model via imaginary time evolution. For these challenging examples, we identify and quantify sources of the numerical advantage exploited by the symmetric-tensor implementation.
