A Novel Algorithm for Professor Recommendation in Higher Education
Authors: Mohammad Umar , Hamdan Yusuf , Sardesai Aarah , Gokgol Merve
Published: September 2023

This paper introduces a novel professor-recommendation system designed specifically for community college and university courses. Building upon an existing algorithm for one-on-one teacher recommendations, we leveraged insights from the literature on Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) recommender algorithms. By analysing various approaches, we combined and refined ideas to develop an optimised system. Our approach utilises a tri-module framework that incorporates supervised and unsupervised learning techniques. The first module employs a Gradient-boosted Decision Tree algorithm, augmented with multiple factors and student dropout rates as ground truth, to generate a ranking score. The second module applies Apriori Association and Density-based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) algorithms to analyse these factors and identify professors with similar characteristics. In the third module, item-based collaborative filtering is employed, incorporating user ratings and the cosine similarity algorithm. The outputs from these three modules are subsequently integrated through a weighted average. This addition enables the system to prioritise opportunities for new professors, thereby ensuring a balanced recommendation approach. The resulting combined ranking score provides accurate recommendations for course instructors. This approach can be integrated into university course selection software for the benefit of both students and educational institutions.

Published: September 2023

ABSTRACTOptimal public services are an absolute requirement for government administrators. Optimizing public services can be done through innovation, to bring services closer to the community, more accessible, higher quality, and cheaper. The application of innovation is expected to be able to make the products and services produced have added value, each individual is encouraged to work faster, more precisely and carefully, and innovation is expected to give birth to a better work culture. South Tangerang City is an autonomous region that was formed at the end of 2008, so there is a need to increase human resource capacity related to public service innovation. Direct services to the community that are quite highlighted are health services. On this basis, we conduct community service interventions in the form of workshops and mentoring to all heads of UPT South Tangerang City Health Office in order to further optimize service innovation. The workshop is devoted to leadership training alumni who already have innovations in the form of change projects. The activity is carried out between October-November 2019. Before conducting the workshop, identification of serviceÂ innovations has been carried out. As a result, the head of the UPT has a common perception and strategy to continue and develop public service innovations, especially the results of change projects.ABSTRAKPelayanan publik yang optimal menjadi syarat mutlak bagi penyelenggara pemerintah.

Authors: Zhiping Han
Published: September 2023

The formation of image of a teacher in society, and consequently, his status, is largely influenced by the media, cinema, fiction. Depending on how the image of the teacher is reflected in the media and books, the prestige of the teaching profession can grow or decline. It should be emphasized that the reputation of a teacher in society and an individual teacher in a certain team largely depends on the coincidence of the expectations of others and the quality of the performance of everyday teacher functions.

Children’s third-party punishment does not change depending on the prospect of future interaction
Authors: Lee Young-eun , He Susan , Warneken Felix
Published: September 2023

Children pay a cost to punish third parties for unfairness. However, theoretical debates highlight that such behaviors could reflect a strategic attempt to manipulate others in future interactions. The personal deterrence hypothesis claims that punishment is motivated to deter future unfairness towards punishers. Here we tested this hypothesis with a total of n = 248 5-to-10-year-olds. In two experiments, participants witnessed that a divider shared resources either fairly or selfishly with a third party. Participants learned that the same divider (same divider condition) or a new divider (different divider condition) would subsequently decide how to share resources with the participant. If children’s punishment is motivated by personal deterrence, they should punish unfairness more often in the same divider condition (versus different divider). Conversely, if children fear retaliation from dividers, they should punish dividers less often in the same divider condition (versus different divider). Children intervened by taking resources away from the divider (Experiment 1) or by sending a disapproving or an approving verbal message (Experiment 2). Children were more likely to punish unfair than fair allocations through material punishment and disapproving messages, while being more likely to reward fair than unfair allocations by sending approving messages. However, children did so at the same level regardless of their future divider’s identity. We discuss how these results speak to a children’s emerging concern with fairness and how it challenges the notion that children punish for self-oriented reasons as suggested by the personal deterrence hypothesis.

Published: September 2023

Preprints, manuscripts posted online prior to journal-organized peer-review, are an alternative to the traditional, slow, expensive, and inequitable journal publication system. They enable earlier sharing of research outcomes and can even be used to obtain early feedback on work in progress. We aim to identify such alternative uses of preprints, including works-in-progress that are deposited and updated as preprints (iterative preprints). We rely first on a computational approach to identify alternative preprints that we then qualitatively assess. We aim to communicate our approach and results to the community as an iterative preprint itself. In this version, we present our computational approach and initial exploratory results as we seek feedback on our methodology.
The Milanova Sequence: A Quantum Linguistic Approach to Encoding and Decoding Information
Authors: Cherkashin Pavel
Published: September 2023

The Milanova Sequence is a revolutionary mathematical structure that provides a distinct system for transforming linguistic elements into quantum states. The Milanova Sequence is created by taking two polynomials, \( f(x) \) and \( g(x) \), with coefficients that come from surreal numbers. A tensor is then employed to connect these coefficients to the four sections of a table or matrix. The sequence is produced by repeating this tensor operation over the table or matrix.
The Formats of Cognitive Representation: A Computational Account
Authors: Vernazzani Alfredo , Mollo Dimitri Coelho
Published: September 2023

Cognitive representations are typically analysed in terms of content, vehicle and format. While current work on formats appeals to intuitions about external representations, such as words and maps, in this paper we develop a computational view of formats that does not rely on intuitions. In our view, formats are individuated by the computational profiles of vehicles, i.e., the set of constraints that fix the computational transformations vehicles can undergo. The resulting picture is strongly pluralistic, it makes space for a variety of different formats, and is intimately tied to the computational approach to cognition in cognitive science and artificial intelligence.
Greater wealth is associated with higher prosocial preferences and behaviours across 76 countries
Authors: Vanags Paul , Cutler Jo , Kosse Fabian , Lockwood Patricia
Published: September 2023

Prosocial preferences and behaviours – defined as those that benefit others – are essential for health, well-being, and a society that can effectively respond to global challenges. Research has therefore focussed on factors that may increase or decrease them. How objectively wealthy an individual is, as well as how subjectively wealthy someone feels, may be crucial in determining prosociality. However, previous studies have often relied on small non-representative samples and/or on a limited range of measures. In addition, experience of precarity (uncertainty in meeting basic needs) could change how wealth correlates with prosociality, yet its impact remains unknown. Using data from 80,337 people across 76 countries, we show that both objective wealth (household income), and subjective wealth (financial well-being), are positively and consistently associated with higher prosociality. Objective wealth was positively associated with altruism, positive reciprocity, donating money, volunteering, and helping a stranger, but negatively associated with trust. Subjective wealth was positively associated with all aspects of prosociality, including trust. Experience of precarity reduced associations between wealth and prosocial preferences yet increased them for prosocial behaviours. These findings could have important implications for enhancing prosociality, critical for a healthy and adaptive society.
Factors controlling the variation in physicochemical parameters of springs in Melamchi area, Nepal
Authors: Khadka Karishma , Rijal Moti Lal , Gyawali Rupak
Published: September 2023

Understanding the factors controlling the spatial and seasonal variation of physicochemical parameters of groundwater are important for quick water quality assessment and for a better planning of the water quality management strategies. This study evaluated spring’s five physicochemical data (pH, EC, TDS, DO and temperature) for 75 springs in two seasons (pre and post monsoon). The aim of the research presented in this paper is to assess physicochemical parameters of spring water, understand their seasonal and spatial variation and the factors controlling the variation. Physicochemical parameters were correlated with each other to understand the processes and an attempt has been made to understand groundwater processes studying the physicochemical parameters.
Groundwater is slightly acidic to slightly alkaline with pH ranging from 5.5 to 7.5 and is weakly to very weakly mineralized with EC range of 21.6–234.0 μS/cm in pre-monsoon and 10.5–189.8 μS/cm in post-monsoon. TDS ranged between 5.3–116.9 mg/l and 10.8–94.9 mg/l, DO between 3.1–9.4 mg/l and 2.4–7.3 mg/l and groundwater temperature between 18.4–27.9°C and 19.2–27.4°C in pre-monsoon and post monsoon season respectively. TDS and EC are noted to be higher in pre-monsoon whereas pH, DO and temperature are comparatively higher in post-monsoon. The south-east region of the study area shows minimum groundwater temperature. Minimum concentration of EC and TDS were observed in south-east and north-west part of the study area with values increasing towards the river valley. Groundwater temperature shows inverse relation with elevation, pH and DO while correlated with EC and TDS of groundwater in the region. The measured parameters were seasonally and spatially variable.
The results indicate difference for measured physicochemical parameters mainly caused due to results generated by cumulative interactions of monsoonal rain, atmospheric temperature, rock-groundwater interaction, residence time of groundwater and seasonal influences. The change in parameters with respect to elevation and relation between different parameters shows shallow aquifer-related groundwater processes.

Published: September 2023

Flood hazards are a common problem in flat-lying areas, particularly in southern Nepal due to heavy precipitation and the consequent large transportation of sediments from hilly regions. Bank erosion, flooding, inundation, and sedimentation are the major problems in the plain area of the Kailali District along the riverbanks of Pathariya Khola, which is located on the southern flanks of the Churia Range. The study has been focused on flood hazards and vulnerability evaluation. The river discharge was calculated by WECS/DHM method and flood frequency in various return periods was analysed using HEC-RAS, RAS-Mapper, and geographic information system (GIS) for hazard modelling to delineate the flood-prone areas. The flood hazard zones were categorized as moderate (26.29%), high (39.59%), and very high (34.12%) based on the computed water depths of peak floods. The agricultural land is the most vulnerable to flooding followed by built-up areas. The results have revealed that the flood hazard areas are ever-expanding with the increased discharge levels of different return periods.

Authors: Khapung Anju , Vaidya Samriddhi
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Tobacco use and its resulting ill health effects can be controlled by adopting appropriate cessation measures at individual, community and national level. Health care service providers, and particularly dentists, can play a major role in providing tobacco cessation counselling to the patients who come in their contact.
Objective: To assess the tobacco cessation practices and perceived barriers for its implementation among Nepali dentists.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study using online questionnaire for data collection was done among 246 Nepali dentists selected by convenient sampling from November, 2020 to January, 2021 after ethical clearance from institutional review committee of Nepal Medical College. Data entered into Google Forms were exported to Microsoft Excel and SPSS v.20 for descriptive analysis.
Results: A total of 246 (111, 45.1% male and 135, 54.9% female) dentists responded to the survey. Mean age of the respondents was 30.75±4.61 years. Most respondents (159, 64.6%) were from Bagmati province. Out of the participants, 204 (82.9%) were “never smokers” themselves. Most of the participants (161, 65.5%) asked patients about smoking habits, 176 (71.6%) advised patients not to start smoking and 119 (48.4%) rarely advised quitting tobacco. Only 15 (6.1%) dentists assisted patients to quit smoking. Among the perceived barriers, most reported lack of trainings (143, 58.1%).
Conclusion: Even though majority of the study participants asked their patients about smoking habits, only few assisted them to quit. Those having received trainings regarding tobacco cessation being fewer in number further suggests the need of regular continuing medical education and trainings.

Published: September 2023

Annapurna Conservation Area is considered as the only self-financed protected area in Nepal. With the aim of investigating the impact caused by COVID-19 on income and expenditure of Annapurna Conservation Area and its conservation activities, the study gathered primary data by interviewing representatives from different committees related to tourism, youth, women, and local people. Similarly, audit reports from Conservation Area Management Committee offices and Annapurna Conservation Area headquarter office were taken as secondary data. The income reduced by 36 percent in the fiscal year 2076/77 as pandemic effects began and further plummeted by 96.5 percent after a complete lockdown and travel limitations in the following year. Consequently, expenses for thematic areas and budget allocation for different management committees significantly declined. As a result, the committees minimized but did not stop spending their budget on conservation initiatives. The study recommends diversifying the income sources of the conservation area through effective rangeland management, prioritization of forest-based enterprises, utilizing the available resources, and policy reform in tourism fee collection.

Authors: Mahyarani Fauzia , Samsudin
Published: September 2023

The development of technology today is very rapid and makes it easier for humans to access various information that they want to know by using technology in the form of the internet. E-Cultural is a cultural digitization system that utilizes internet technology to increase efficiency in the field of culture, especially in terms of documentation, dissemination of information as well as knowledge of elements of culture. At this time, web-based information regarding tourism and culture of Batubara Regency is not yet available, the public can only introduce it through social media such as Facebook, Instagram and other media. Lack of legal media at the Batu Bara District Youth, Sports and Culture Service and Tourism to promote tourism and culture in the Batubara District. This prompted the author to create a legal system so that the Batubara Regency Cultural Sports Youth Service can promote tourism and culture by involving the global community. Therefore, this research uses the crowdsourcing method, namely that there is unlimited involvement and regardless of background for everyone who wants to make a contribution, whether paid or free. In the system that I will create, the global community can play a role in updating data or information on the website as well as using the waterfall development method, namely analysis, design, implementation and testing. The results of the development of E-Culture in Batubara Regency using the crowdsourcing method have had a good impact, by making it easier for the local community to promote culture and tourism in their area

Authors: Fachrul Rahmadany  , Zen Nur Afifah , Danny Kurnianto
Published: September 2023

Product selection based on the ripeness quality of papaya fruit is one of the stages in the processing of plantation products. At this time, the process of sorting papaya fruit is still using manual methods, especially in estimating the level of ripeness. Papaya is considered a climacteric fruit where respiration occurs and its ethylene production suddenly increases and then rapidly falls off. Fruit with a low respiration rate has a longer shelf life than fruit with a high respiration rate. To overcome this problem, this research created a prototype of a papaya fruit ripeness detection system using a color sensor-based fuzzy logic method. This fruit maturity detector can provide information related to fruit ripeness (unripe, half ripe, and ripe) which is determined from the color of the papaya fruit which is then processed using the Mamdani fuzzy logic method. The results of the prototype design can measure fruit with an accuracy rate of 93.33% of the 30 data tested by using tools that are in a cool place, with low intensity of incoming sunlight.

Keywords: Papaya fruit ripeness, TCS3200 Sensor, Mamdani Fuzzy Logic.

A Comparative Study of Student Satisfaction Levels on Online Learning Using K-NN and Naïve Bayes
Authors: Nasution Hilda Mutiara , Mustakim Mustakim , Inggih Permana  , M. Afdal
Published: September 2023

The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia led to restrictions on human social activities to minimize transmission. Teaching-learning is also affected when students must stay home and follow distance learning based on Government Regulation Number 21 of 2020, the Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) policy, issued on March 31, 2020. This has led to the emergence of learning support applications such as Zoom, Google Classroom, Google Meet, E-Learning, and many more. However, this new learning culture requires adaptation for effective implementation. During the adaptation process, researchers want to measure the level of student satisfaction and find out the best algorithm for classifying the level of student satisfaction. This measurement uses two data mining algorithms, K-Nearest Neighbour (K-NN) and Naïve Bayes, and the Islamic State University of Sultan Syarif Kasim Riau students as the research object. Different algorithms have varying strengths and weaknesses in handling specific data types and classification tasks. By comparing both algorithms, we can assess their generalization capabilities. A model that performs well on training data but fails to generalize to unseen data may not be as effective as a more robust algorithm that exhibits better generalization performance. K-NN classification with a value of k = 3 gets good results. Based on the study results, the conclusion is that K-NN is more optimal in classifying student satisfaction levels than Naïve Bayes with an accuracy ratio of 85% : 80%, precision of 85% : 84%, and recall of 99% : 93%.

Determining the nutritional status of pregnant women is one of the efforts to control the condition of pregnant women so that they can adjust their health conditions properly. The health condition of pregnant women can affect the condition of the baby who will be born. This study aims to apply the SVM method to a web-based application to classify the nutritional status of pregnant women based on data obtained from several health centers in the city of Lhokseumawe. SVM functions as the core of the application in charge of classifying the nutritional status of pregnant women based on several features including: age, weight, height, lila, hemoglobin and BMI. While the data class consists of 3 categories, namely: undernourished, normal nutrition and normal nutrition + overweight. Primary data obtained from the field amounted to 355 data which were then divided into two parts with a ratio of 70% training data and 30% testing data. Based on the research conducted, it was found that the application of different kernels in the Support Vector Machine (SVM) will have a different performance impact in classifying data. In this study, the linear kernel has the best performance with an accuracy value of 0.84, the RBF kernel has an accuracy value of 0.83, the polynomial kernel has an accuracy value of 0.72, and the sigmoid kernel has the worst performance with an accuracy value of 0.58

In this contribution, We revisit the effect of electric eE and magnetic field eB and on the critical temperature T χ,C c of the chiral symmetry breaking/restoration and confinement/deconfinement phase transition in the QCD Phase diagram. In this context, we use the symmetrypreserving vector-vector contact interaction model of quarks, in the Schwinger-Dyson equations framework and in the proper time regularization scheme. We also describe the phenomenon of inverse electric catalysis in the pure electric case, magnetic catalysis (and inverse magnetic catalysis) in the pure magnetic case and inverse electromagnetic catalysis in the presence of both electric and magnetic background fields.
Michel parameters for elucidating the neutrinos nature and searching for new physics
Authors: Marquez Juan
Published: September 2023

We use the most general four-lepton effective interaction Hamiltonian to investigate the impact of massive Dirac and Majorana neutrinos on the leptonic decays of muons and taus. Our analysis encompasses the specific energy and angular distribution of the resulting charged lepton, accounting for both the initial and final polarizations of the charged leptons. Additionally, we identify the emergence of novel generalized Michel parameters and concentrate on the influence of the heavy neutrino masses, which can make significant contributions in cases where new sterile neutrinos exhibit non-negligible mixing. Our analysis reveals that the most promising scenario occurs in the case of τ decays, featuring one heavy neutrino with a mass approximately ranging from 10^2 to 10^3 MeV. In this setting, the discrepancy between the Dirac and Majorana cases could reach an order of magnitude of 10^−4, which is significant enough to be detected in present and future experiments.

The ALICE experiment is devoted to the study of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) created in heavy-ion collisions at the CERN LHC. The experimental setup allows for the study of many different observables that contributed to the characterization of the properties of the QGP. The ALICE experiment went through a major upgrade during LS2 to profit from the increased LHC luminosity and to improve the tracking resolution. An additional upgrade is planned for LS3. A new experiment, ALICE 3, was proposed as next major upgrade in LS4. In this contribution, a selection of recent physics results was presented together with a glimpse of the next upgrades during LS3 and LS4, with the main focus on ALICE 3 and its physics program
A mesurement of the mass of the τ lepton using new methods to study semi-invisible decays
Authors: Colorado Caicedo Johan Andrés , De La Cruz Burelo Eduard
Published: September 2023

Measuring the mass of particles whose decay products cannot be detected poses a significant challenge due to the complexity of reconstructing these decays and measuring various parameters. However, studying processes involving undetectable particles is crucial as it enables us to delve deeper into familiar decays involving energy loss, such as Standard Model processes involving neutrinos. Additionally, it provides an opportunity to test models associated with physics beyond the Standard Model that can be generated in leptonic colliders. In this study, the mass of the tau lepton was determined by comparing three different methods for decays with semi-invisible final states. Specifically, the measurement focused on the decay τ − → π −ντ (signal). Among the three methods employed, the most accurate result was obtained using the Mmin method, yielding a tau lepton mass value of Mτ = 1777.06 ± 0.44 MeV. The measurement utilized official Monte Carlo data provided by the Belle II collaboration, specifically from the MC13a campaign conducted until 2020, with an integrated luminosity of 100fb−1 .
Entangelement entropy in high energy collisions of electrons and protons
Authors: Hentschinski Martin
Published: September 2023

We investigate the proposal by Kharzeev and Levin of a maximally entangled proton wave function in Deep Inelastic Scattering of electrons and proton in the region of low Bjorken x. Using their proposed relation between parton number and entanglement entropy, we determine the latter using both conventional parton distribution functions and parton distribution functions obtained from an unintegrated gluon distribution subject to next-to-leading order Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) evolution as well as from a dipole cross-section, subject to running coupling Balitsky-Kovchegov (rcBK) evolution. We compare our results to hadronic entropy obtained from final state hadron multiplicity.

Published: September 2023

In this work we analyze cLFV processes using a low-energy EFT that induces the effective interaction between two charged leptons of different flavor and two photons. We compute ℓi → ℓjγ, ℓi → ℓjγγ decays and ℓi → ℓj conversion in nuclei. We derived indirect upper limits on the double photon decays, which turned out to be below current experimental bounds. Our prediction for ℓ → τ conversion in nuclei is below the expected sensitivity of the NA64 experiment
Electromagnetic corrections in hadronic tau decays
Authors: Miranda Hernández Jesús Alejandro
Published: September 2023

We revisit the isospin-breaking and electromagnetic corrections of some hadronic tau decays, which can also be employed to extract the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix element Vus. We extend former analyses by Antonelli et al. working with ChPT with resonances. We find that going beyond the Low approximation, these corrections play an important role between the π− K0 and K− π0 modes. The K− K0 channel is also discussed.

We study the energy dependence of the cross-section for exclusive photo-production of vector mesons J/Ψ and Ψ(2s) and search for signs for the onset of non-linear QCD dynamics in this observable. Our study is based on two dipole models: the Golec-Biernat, Wuesthoff Model (GBW) and the Bartels, Golec-Biernat, Kowal- ski Model (BGK). We find that differences between linear and non-linear implementations of these models are relatively small in the kinematic region probed by both HERA and LHC experiments if the energy dependence of the photo-production cross-section is being considered. We however find that the ratio of both cross-sections grows with energy in the presence of non-linear effects, while it remains approximately constant in the linearized case. The ratio of photo-production cross-sections might therefore provide a suitable tool to characterize the size of non-linear QCD effects at current collider energies.

We present our results on the top quark chromomagnetic dipole moment, which is based on the 5-dimension effective Lagrangian operator that characterizes the chromodipolar vertex functions gtt and ggtt. The chromomagnetic dipole mu_t is derived via quantum fluctuation at the 1-loop level. We evaluate µˆt(s) as a function of the energy scale s=+-E2, for E=[10,1000] GeV. In particular we focus on the conventional high-energy scale E=mZ, analogously as with alphas(mZ2) and sW(mZ2). The spacelike evaluation matches quite well with the experimental central value, while the timelike case deviates from it.

Background:

To describe baseline antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) metrics and apply AMS interventions in an inpatient obstetrical population.

Methods:

From October 2018 to October 2019, our tertiary-care obstetrical center reviewed components of our AMS program, which included: (1) antimicrobial consumption data, (2) point prevalence surveys (PPS), and (3) prospective audit and feedback. We reviewed institutional data for antimicrobial consumption from the pharmacy database. Detailed point prevalence surveys were conducted for all antimicrobial prescriptions on two predefined dates each month. Daily audits and feedback assessed the appropriateness of all non-protocolized antimicrobials.

Results:

Our average antimicrobial length of therapy (LOT) was 12 days per 100 patient-days, where erythromycin (2.33), amoxicillin (2.28), and ampicillin (1.81) were the greatest contributors. Point prevalence surveys revealed that 28.8% of obstetrical inpatients were on antimicrobials, of which 11.2% were inappropriate. Protocolized antimicrobials were 62% less likely ( p = 0.027) to be inappropriate. From 565 audited prescriptions, 110 (19.5%) resulted in feedback, where 90% of recommendations were accepted and implemented. The most common reasons for interventions include incorrect dosage, recommending a diagnostic test before continuing antimicrobials, and changing antimicrobials based on specific culture and sensitivity.

Conclusions:

Antimicrobial use in obstetrics is unique compared to general inpatients. We provide a baseline set of metrics for AMS at our obstetrical center intending to lay the groundwork for AMS programming in our discipline. Antimicrobial protocolization, as well as audit and feedback, are feasible interventions to improve antimicrobial prescribing patterns.

Published: September 2023

У роботі досліджено та проаналізовано значення та підходи до наукового вивчення та осмислення таких понять, як: «нація», «націоналізм» та «національна ідентичність». Висвітлення розуміння і тлумачення зазначених термінів окреслено крізь призму наукових трансляцій історіографічного потенціалу. У статті з’ясовано основні аспекти, які на прикладі праць українських та зарубіжних дослідників відображають розуміння та підходи щодо формування нації. Визначено критерії того, що відрізняє націю від народу. Досліджено, яким чином науковці у своїх працях визначають чинники для існування нації. Обґрунтовано в розрізі вивчення історіографічної спадщини, які є типології націоналізму, а також, який зміст може бути закладений щодо розуміння цього поняття. На прикладі змістовних засад монографії Г. Касьянова «Теорії нації та націоналізму» окреслено, які етапи можуть бути передбачені у становленні «націоналізму». Аналізуючи праці британського дослідника феноменів нації та націоналізму Ентоні Дейвіда Сміта, визначено головні положення доктрини націоналізму. Обґрунтовано, які підходи визначає вчений щодо значення самого терміна «націоналізм». Окреслено найважливіші риси національної ідентичності, які характеризуються у наукових працях Е. Сміта. Використовуючи обґрунтування представників української та зарубіжної історіографії, визначено, яку роль у формуванні нації, національної ідентичності відіграє духовність. Обґрунтовано наскільки остання може співвідноситись із суспільною ідеологією або ж релігійними факторами. Визначено, як національна ідентичність може впливати або поєднуватись з ідеологіями, суспільними рухами, при цьому не втрачаючи своєї унікальності та оригінальності.
ВИКЛИКИ СУЧАСНОГО СВІТУ: АНТРОПОЛОГІЧНИЙ ВИМІР
Authors: Коник Мар’яна Михайлівна
Published: September 2023

У статті розглянуто питання технологічного прогресу у його глобальних масштабах, виявлено неоднозначність процесу, що поєднує позитивні та негативні прояви (втручання техніки та технологій у життя особистості, що загострює питання «рабства», зникнення людського, катаклізми). Зауважено, що спільним знаменником усіх викликів сучасного світу є антропологічний вимір. Із застосуванням найсучасніших технологій штучного інтелекту можна випрацювати модель подолання економічної, екологічної чи іншої кризи, проте рішення прийматиме людина. Піддаючи філософській рефлексії досвід ХХ століття, прослідковано особливе загострення питання людини: від «антропологічного повороту» до «смерті людини». Звідси випливають проблеми із самовизначення сучасної людини, яка у своїй буттєвій розгубленості намагається самореалізуватися. У центр уваги потрапляє проблематика світоглядних орієнтирів сучасної людини, яка, відкидаючи трансцендентне, творить закритий всесвіт за логікою її природних потреб. Погляд у вічність замінюється моментом релаксації, нігілізмом. Людина починає завантажуватися різними повсякденними справами, входить у «стурбоване» ставлення до всього і перетворюється на «Воно» – дещо посереднє, бо прагне «жити як всі» або ж зміщує повсякденну реальність в інформаційний простір. У варіанті віртуалізації відбувається відрив свідомості особистості від реальності, симуляція чуттєвих даних, занурення в «інший світ». Віртуальна реальність – більше ніж технологія, це – вираження сучасних тенденцій культури, які впливатимуть на естетичний досвід людства у майбутньому. Висвітлено основні аспекти втрати людського, породжені сутнісними змінами особистісного світу, зовнішнього світу, суспільства. Висловлюється ідея, що відповіддю людини на виклики сучасного світу є пошук цілісного Я через «занурення» у культуру, пережиття особливого духовного досвіду, що дає змогу «побачити» закон світового буття, завдяки творчому осягненню світу відчути гармонійний взаємозв’язок та єдність сущого, через відчуття кожного факту буття, в будь-якій деталі нашого існування розкрити абсолютне, вічне. Підсумовуючи, зауважено: шлях становлення особистості – процес діалектичний, відповідальний та найголовніше – самостійний. Найсучасніші інженерні проєкти щодо модифікацій людини, що практично втілюються, не лишень залишаються зовнішніми маніпуляціями щодо людини як об’єкта, але й не виходять за межі органіки людини, а класична філософська проблематика не втрачає своєї актуальності.
ДЖЕРЕЛОЗНАВЧА ТА КАТЕГОРІАЛЬНА БАЗА НАУКОВИХ ДОСЛІДЖЕНЬ РЕЛІГІЙНО-ДУХОВНОЇ СПАДЩИНИ ГАЛИЦЬКОГО КРАЮ (ДО 1125-РІЧНИЦІ ВІД ДНЯ ЗАСНУВАННЯ М. ГАЛИЧА)

Актуальність статті обумовлена специфікою впливу духовного життя на формування державності та національної ідентичності, що є важливим чинником не тільки віри, а й культури, світогляду та ін. Глибокого дослідження потребують саме Галицька духовна спадщина, адже саме завдяки Галицькій митрополії вдалося зберегти культурну самобутність українського католицизму і православ’я. Мета статті – визначити роль Галицької митрополії у духовному світогляді, ціннісних орієнтаціях та як вони відображають і трансформують сакральний простір трансцедентного. Новизна статті визначається тим, що уперше глибоко досліджено монастирські комплекси і національні особливості сакральної спадщини Галичини, їхній вплив на ціннісно- моральний потенціал та антропологічні особливості формування релігійної об’єктивації Західного регіону України. Сьогодні коли Україна перебуває перед новими викликами релігійного, філософського, політичного, економічного виміру, дуже важливо є через дослідження проблематики духовної спадщини показати роль ціннісних, сакралізованих, трансцедентих чинників у формуванні національного sakrumy. З’ясовано, що вони мають не лише самобутній, неповторний культурний зміст та форму, а й власну духовну територію, де утверджують і виявляють традиційні цінності метафізики культури, де людина співвідносить себе з фундаментальними духовними цінностями, Абсолютом, з вищими смислами, національними святинями. До 1125-річниці від дня заснування м. Галича у статті зроблено аналіз Галицької духовної ідентичності та духовної спадщини, а також зібрано основні найважливіші джерела і наукові дослідження про Княжу столицю Галичини, яка була і є центром релігійного і культурного життя Галичини.
