The Difficult Route of Romanian from the Bessarabia and the Guardians of the Scientific Truth
Authors: Botnari Liliana
Published: July 2023

The creation of a „Moldavian language”, with new grammatical rules and a lexicon focused on popular speech, occurred in order to delimit the Moldavian identity from the Romanian one, insisting on the theory that they are distinct and have separate evolutions. The Soviet authorities promoted the idea of a fundamental difference between the natives situated in the east of the Prut and the Romanians from Romania, repressing any outburst of Romanian identity and consciousness in the RSSM or RASSM. In these hostile times, linguists, writers, publicists and artists in general knew a rigorous censorship, carrying the burden of Moldovanism. In the 1940s-1960s, when the Russian language forcibly became the official language in the Bessarabian territory, linguists such as N. Corlăteanu, I. C. Varticean or S. Berejan had an intense and tumultuous philological activity, constrained by the creeds and grievances of the party and ideology Soviets, who were forced to work under conditions of an unhealthy bilingualism.
The Cancel Culture in Western Academic Life
Authors: Plamadeala Ion
Published: July 2023

The article deals with the phenomenon of “cancel culture” which is gaining momentum in academic life and scientific research in Western universities, questioning its manifestations and consequences in terms of epistemology, freedom of expression and academic freedom. These are described and critically evaluated as an unprecedented form of intellectual and political totalitarianism exercised by militants of the reactionary „woke” ideology, by reactivating similar practices from the Soviet regime and the Chinese cultural revolution. The disastrous consequences of this phenomenon on members of the academic community and academic culture in general, which is undergoing a serious epistemic crisis, are revealed.
The Status of the Concepts of Continuity and Rupture in the Discourse of Literary Criticism
Authors: Hariton Natalia
Published: July 2023

This study examines the status of the concepts of continuity and rupture in the discourse of literary criticism, determining that they provide valuable data about the dynamics of literature and its contextual (constants of change), the behavior of the concepts in the typological aspect (marks of literary paradigms), as well as about the mutations at critical discourse level (discursive units). In terms of the concepts of continuity and rupture, several aspects of the evolving literary / critical phenomenon are examined: the battle between the old and the new as a battle for a certain canonical understanding; the tension between modernism and postmodernism, solved not only in the sense of overcoming, but also in the sense of cooperation; the interrogative and, therefore, ironic nature of critical discourse in postmodernism.

We will investigate the evolutions and mutations within those three aspects in the context of posthumanist thought.
Romanian-Ukrainian Folklore Dialogue in the period 1954-1985: Hermeneutics of Reception
Authors: Apetri Dumitru
Published: July 2023

The Romanian-Ukrainian folklore dialogue started in the 50s of the 19th century and lasted until 1985. Publishing houses in the Republic of Moldova published five editions of stories, two books containing stories by the author and a volume of paremiological creation. From a numerical point of view, the contribution of Ukraine is about the same: five editions of stories, a collection of proverbs and sayings, a compartment of popular creation from four texts included in the book Songs of Moldova, trilingual edition: Romanian, Ukrainian and Russian and another compartment (seven legends and eight stories) placed in the Кодрii collection, which is, widely spoken, intended for prose. The texts of the stories are intended for young school and preschool age, the paremiological creation and the songs are addressed to the mature reader. The editions are distinguished by the quality of the translation, a good polygraphic execution, and the Ukrainian production grows by a solid number of copies: from 5 thousand to 200 thousand.
The Sacral Dimensions of Po(i)etic Experience
Authors: Gherman Oxana
Published: July 2023

The article elucidates, through the hermeneutic triptych Man-World-God, conceptualized in the reference studies signed by philosophers and theologians as R. Otto, A. LaCoque, P. Ricoeur, M. Eliade, L. Blaga, M. Popa, the sacred dimensions of creative experience. The author identifies a series of affinities between the sacral feeling and the act of poetic creation, at the levels of aesthetic emotion and of metaphorization practices, of the artistic forms of the „existence in mystery” (L. Blaga) transposition, of re-creating the private universe through the symbolic imitation of the cosmogony. The sacral imaginary finds expression in all fields of art, and, par excellence, in poetry, which is involved in the revelation of the sublime that awakens in the human soul the feeling of greatness, of magic, of unspeakable charm, of impenetrable mystery from sequences of reality in which it feels the presence of God. The conclusions converge towards the idea that the sacre has a shaping influence on consciousness, in the dynamic field of which the image of the world is articulated, and the po(i)etic experience validates the divine character of the human being origin.
The „Innocent”, „Paradise”, „Absolute” Man in Lucian Blaga’s Lyrical and Philosophical Works
Authors: Verejanu Dan
Published: July 2023

Researching the metaphor function, Blaga speaks in his essay „The genesis of the metaphor and the sense of culture” about the man who „became a man”. Blaga was always preoccupied of the Man who has a destiny of creating culture (metaphorical and stylistically), with its sacred abyss roots and a great launch of revelation intentions. The true ambassador of united Romania, focused especially into giving greatness to the being, Lucian Blaga became aware of the value of creation moment. The man, existing in the mystery horizon for revelation, it is a creation man, a man of culture. Referring to the creative power which attracted all the other concepts from his philosophical and poetry works, Blaga thinks that we are what we create. The value creator himself represents the creative power. Working on the face of the culture man, after his own face, the lyrical philosopher suggests that each of us can affirm himself as an absolute power. Only when the creation Man discovers that the Divine power it is in us, he discovers the creation power that he has. Only being aware of how much creation power one has, one can surprise himself in a transformation process that leads to absolute power.

The Mirror Of Iskandar
Authors:   Alisher Navo'i Tashkent State University of Uzbek Language and Literature, Ismoilov Ilyos
Published: July 2023

Alisher Navoi mastered the best literary masterpieces created in his time as a representative of the literary environment of the 15th century, mastered the experience and traditions of artistic creativity, and as a result, developed them successfully, and most importantly, he had a natural talent for artistic creativity. In addition, the historical period required the appearance of a great Turkish writer in Khurasan and Movarounnakhr. These factors united in the creation of a great artist, such as Alisher Navoi, who made an invaluable contribution to the spiritual world of mankind. Navoi studied very thouroughly the experience of his pious ancestors (mentors) in the field of khamsawriting, which can be seen in the example of ‘Saddi Iskandari’ (The wall of Iskandar). Navoi introduced a story of Iskandar into his own ‘Khamsa’, just as Nizami, Khusraw and Jami did. It, first of all, describes Iskandar as a king, and then, contemplates on his wisdom. Navai imagined Iskandar as a knowledgeable person, and in this epic poem he provided details about his scientific research and fiction with a group of wise men. One of these scientific discoveries is Ainayi Iskandari - the Iskandar’s Mirror, which is widely depicted and presents significance not only in Saddi Iskandari, but also in Navoi’s entire creation. This article deals with the history of the emergence of Ainayi Iskandari, the relationship between Nizami and Khusraw, comparison of the views of Navai with the views of his pious ancestors, as well as, new interpretation of Navoi’s ideas.

Authors: Moldashev K. B. , Makhmejanov G. N.
Published: July 2023

The purpose of the research is to critically analyze the main agreements within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and the problems of their application under sanctions, to study the impact of sanctions on Kazakhstan's foreign trade through the prism of strategic trade control (STC), as well as to develop recommendations on minimizing the negative consequences of sanctions for Kazakhstani enterprises.

Research methodology - the analysis of documents is applied, including agreements and the regulatory framework within the EAEU, previous research on the topic, as well as documentation on sanctions and positions of international actors. The analysis is carried out on various aspects, including international trade in goods, technical regulation, migration, re-export risks and logistics problems.

Originality / value of the research. There are many studies in the scientific literature on the impact of international sanctions on individual countries, but there are no studies on the indirect impact of sanctions on the partners of a sub-sanctioned country, within a regional organization with a high degree of economic integration.

Findings. Analysis shows that under the conditions of sanctions, the EAEU does not meet Kazakhstan's expectations from this regional organization in terms of economic benefits, and risks are created for Kazakhstani companies that need to be minimized with the use of measures at the state and intra-company level.

Concurrent multi-scale modeling of granular materials: Role of coarse-graining in FEM-DEM coupling
Authors: Cheng Hongyang
Published: July 2023

The finite element method (FEM) and the discrete element method (DEM) are two commonly used techniques in modeling different types of materials. FEM is used for materials that behave like a continuous substance, while DEM is used for materials that can be seen as individual particles. Sometimes, it's necessary to combine these two methods to get a more accurate representation of the granular material's behavior. This is typically done by directly connecting the individual particles in DEM with the larger elements in FEM.

A technique called coarse-graining (CG) is used to bridge the gap between these two methods. It takes the data from the individual particles and turns it into smooth, continuous fields that follow the laws of continuous materials. By choosing a specific scale, the coarse-grained fields are then mixed together and applied to the FEM model.

In this research, we explore a new way of combining FEM and DEM, both for surfaces and volumes. When dealing with surfaces, we convert the discrete contact forces between particles and surfaces into a smooth, continuous traction field that is then applied to the FEM model. For volumes, we enhance the homogenization process with additional functions to connect the discrete particles, their coarse-grained fields, and the finite element formulation.

This new approach offers better accuracy and symmetry in surface coupling, reducing the energy produced during the combination of FEM and DEM, and for volume coupling, it significantly decreases numerical dissipation, especially when the load applied contains high-frequency components. This technique has the potential to be expanded beyond the current examples. It could be applied to different types of materials and governing equations, allowing for more advanced multi-scale and multi-physical modeling methods.

Facial Emotion Recognition in Insomnia: Mechanisms and Consequences
Authors: Tang Yunxiang
Published: July 2023

Insomnia is a sleep disorder that is closely related with various physiological and psychological problems. Facial emotion recognition (FER) is an important part of social function, and has been found impaired in individuals with insomnia. This paper aims to explore the mechanisms of the correlation between insomnia and FER impairment, and the possible consequences of impaired FER for people with insomnia. Impaired expression expressivity and amygdala dysfunction are proposed as potential mechanisms underlying the link between insomnia and impaired FER. FER impairment in insomnia patients might lead to overlooking danger and lower levels of vigilance and arousal, which could result in disastrous outcomes. Moreover, impaired FER could lead to social function disturbance, making insomnia patients vulnerable to bullying.
Selective Layered Blockchain Framework for Privacy-preserving Data Management in Low-latency Mobile Networks

Published: July 2023

With the gradual development of Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies, such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and big data, and the considerable amount of data in mobile networks, low-latency communication and security management are becoming crucial. Blockchain is a data-distributed processing technology that tracks data records to support secure electronic money transactions and data security management in a peer-to-peer environment without the need of a central trusted authority. The data uploaded to the blockchain-shared ledger are immutable, making tracking integrity preservation facile. However, blockchain technology is limited because it is challenging to utilize in the industry owing to its inability to correct data, even when inaccurate data are uploaded. Accordingly, research on blockchain mechanisms that consider privacy-preserving data management is required to commercialize blockchain technology. Previously, off-chain, blacklist, and hard-fork methods have been proposed; however, their application is challenging or impractical. Therefore, to protect privacy, we propose a layered blockchain mechanism that can correct data by adding a buffer blockchain. We evaluated the latency, security, and space complexity of layered blockchains. The security and security-to-latency ratio for data management of the selective layered blockchain is 2.2 and 11.3 times higher than the conventional blockchains, respectively. The proposed selective layered blockchain is expected to promote the commercialization of blockchain technologies in various industries by protecting user privacy.

 
Data Reconstruction Attack with Label Guessing for Federated Learning

Published: July 2023

In light of recent advancements in deep and machine learning, federated learning has been proposed as a means to prevent privacy invasion. However, a reconstruction attack that exploits gradients to leak learning data has recently been developed. With increasing research into federated learning and the importance of data usage, it is crucial to prepare for such attacks. Specifically, when face data are used in federated learning, the damage caused by privacy infringement can be significant. Therefore, attack studies are necessary to develop effective defense strategies against these attacks. In this study, we propose a new attack method that uses labels to achieve faster and more accurate reconstruction performance than previous reconstruction attacks. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method on the Yale Face Database B, MNIST, and CIFAR-10 datasets, as well as under non-IID conditions, similar to real federated learning. The results show that our proposed method outperforms random labeling in terms of reconstruction performance in all evaluations for MNIST and CIFAR-10 datasets in round 1.

Published: July 2023

The systematic evaluation of informatization development level (IDL) is an evaluation that follows the development trend of digitization, networking and intelligence, and focuses on the formation of business capabilities of informatization. Research on informatization evaluation methods has been extensively studied by both domestic and international academics over the years. However, traditional evaluation methods suffer from flaws like complex mechanism design, unreliable metric conversion, difficulty obtaining the relative importance of indexes, complex evaluation process, and high computational volume. This paper attempts to introduce the neural network method into the information system evaluation, and uses the Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) algorithm to establish the evaluation model. The evaluation of the smart court system is used as an example to simulate and test the model, and the results show that the neural network-based evaluation model of informatization system is more applicable to large-scale evaluation indexes, and by continuously increasing the learning samples, it objectively improves the accuracy of evaluation, effectively avoids human subjective factors, and has the advantageous features of advanced, accurate and convenient.

 
Avoiding Optimal Mean Robust and Sparse BPCA with L1-norm Maximization
Authors: Ganyi Tang Ganyi Tang , Ganyi Tang Lili Fan , Lili Fan Jianguo Shi , Jianguo Shi Jingjing Tan , Jingjing Tan Guifu Lu
Published: July 2023

Recently, the robust PCA/2DPCA methods have achieved great success in subspace learning. Nevertheless, most of them have a basic premise that the average of samples is zero and the optimal mean is the center of the data. Actually, this premise only applies to PCA/2DPCA methods based on L2-norm. The robust PCA/2DPCA method with L1-norm has an optimal mean deviate from zero, and the estimation of the optimal mean leads to an expensive calculation. Another shortcoming of PCA/2DPCA is that it does not pay enough attention to the instinct correlation within the part of data. To tackle these issues, we introduce the maximum variance of samples’ difference into Block principal component analysis (BPCA) and propose a robust method for avoiding the optimal mean to extract orthonormal features. BPCA, which is generalized from PCA and 2DPCA, is a general PCA/2DPCA framework specialized in part learning, can makes better use of the partial correlation. However, projection features without sparsity not only have higher computational complexity, but also lack semantic properties. We integrate the elastic network into avoiding optimal mean robust BPCA to perform sparse constraints on projection features. These two BPCA methods (non-sparse and sparse) make the presumption of zero-mean data unnecessary and avoid optimal mean calculation. Experiments on reference benchmark databases indicate the usefulness of the proposed two methods in image classification and image reconstruction.

Authors: Ali Banaz Jabbar , Hassan Ban Karem , Mahmood Athraa Ali
Published: July 2023

This research aims to explore the potential of MMP-8 as a biomarker for diagnosing periodontitis using the latest classification system for this condition. This study enrolled 63 patients with periodontitis and classified them into stage II and stage III periodontitis groups. Additionally, 18 healthy/intact periodontium individuals were included as a control group. Clinical periodontal parameters were assessed, and 3 ml of whole unstimulated saliva was collected from each participant. The results revealed that both PLI (Plaque Index) and BOP (Bleeding on Probing) were considerably elevated in both stages of periodontitis compared to the healthy/control group. There were no statistical differences between periodontitis stages for PLI, BOP, and PPD (Probing Pocket Depth); however, Clinical Attachment Level (CAL) showed a substantial difference across the different stages of periodontitis. The concentrations of MMP-8 were substantially higher in both stages than in the control group, with a significant difference between the periodontitis stages, as the mean concentration was higher in stage II than in stage III. Furthermore, a significant positive correlation was observed between aMMP-8 levels and all periodontal indices. ROC analysis showed that salivary MMP-8 had good diagnostic accuracy for differentiating between periodontal health and periodontitis. However, salivary MMP-8 was unable to distinguish between periodontitis stages.

Enantiosemy – Classification and Categories in а Contrastive Aspect
Authors:   University of Food Technologies, Nikolova-Tsaneva Magdalena
Published: July 2023

The paper discusses the phenomenon of enantiosemy in linguistics – its nature, appearance and belonging to one of the following groups: polysemy, homonymy or antonymy. The enantiosemy theme has been in the scope of linguists for more than century and a half. At the beginning it was believed that this phenomenon could be examined only in Slavic languages, because some of the first findings for it were in Russian, Chech and Bulgarian. Nowadays enantiosemy examples are excerpted in French, German, English and other non – Slavic languages. It is an attempt to classify different research approaches and to describe a new type of enantiosemy, from a contrastive perspective, which in this paper is called affixal enantiosemy. In accordance with a certain context, the affixal enantiosemy clarifies the semantics of the affix which is part of a lexeme.

Published: July 2023

We studied the bryophyte species richness and micro-habitat occupancy in a mixed oak-conifer forest (2100-2600 m) at Naina Peak, Nainital, Uttarakhand, India. The north-facing mesic site of the forest supported a greater diversity of bryophytes than that of the south-facing drier site. Altogether 146 species of bryophytes including 16 thalloid, 15 leafy liverworts, 2 hornworts and 113 mosses belonging to 48 families were documented. Amongst hepatics, leafy forms particularly the members of Frullaniaceae were found dominant over thalloid liverworts. The forest was found to support the dominant growth of acrocarpous mosses (57) followed by pleurocarpous (56). Amongst acrocarpous, the family Pottiaceae was recorded as predominant followed by the members of the pleurocarpous family Brachytheciaceae. The bryophyte species and communities associated with oak phorophytes were found to be richer and more abundant than that of the coniferous ones. Interestingly, 21 species of both liverworts and mosses turned out to be gemmiferous.
Megjegyzések a tudatosság fogalmának vizsgálatához Spinoza Etikájában
Authors: Tóth Olivér István
Published: July 2023

A cikkben bemutatom, hogy milyen nehézségekkel szembesülünk, amikor a tudatosság fogalmát kívánjuk elemezni Spinoza etikájában: egyfelől a kortárs fogalmainkat nem alkalmazhatjuk minden további nélkül a kora újkori szövegre, másrészt a kora újkori szöveg megértése a fogalmak megértésétől függ. Kísérletet teszek arra, hogy a conscius/conscientia fogalompár előfordulásainak elemzése segítségével választ találjak arra a kérdésre, hogy van-e Spinozának egységes tudatosságfogalma. Az elemzés egy olyan rendszerezést tesz lehetővé, amely révén a tudatossággal kapcsolatos két kijelentéscsoport rajzolódik ki eltérő rendszertani és teoretikus szereppel: ezek egyike az érzékeléshez kapcsolódik, míg a másik az értelemhez. Ez választ adhat azon kutatók ellenvetéseire, akik szkeptikusak azzal kapcsolatban, hogy lehetséges-e a tudatosság egységes fogalmának jelenlétét Spinoza szövegeiben kimutatni, és a tudatosság egységes spinozai fogalma felé mutathat.

Az esztétikán túl. A művészetről Pilinszky és Lévinas gondolatainak keresztmetszetében
Authors: Kintli Borbála
Published: July 2023

Tanulmányomban Pilinszky és Lévinas gondolatai nyomán egy etikailag érvényes művészet fogalmát járom körbe. Akár Pilinszky, akár Lévinas esztétikai kijelentéseit tekintjük, azokból egyaránt a művészettel szemben támasztott olyan igény rajzolódik ki, amelynek az jelen formájában képtelen megfelelni. Pilinszky saját korának művészeti válságát érzékeli, amelyhez az a képzet társul, hogy léteznie kell egy másik, a 20. század katasztrófái kialakította helyzetben is tartható művészeti alternatívának. Bár a század eseményei Lévinas életművében is meghatározó szerepet kapnak, az már jóval kevésbé látható, miként kapcsolódik össze a filozófia etika általi átformálásának szükségessége a művészet kérdésével, különösen, ha a levinasi esztétikai gondolatok egymásnak ellentmondó irányait tekintjük. A cél a jelentkező nehézségeknek, paradoxonoknak a vizsgálata, melyek párhuzamos olvasata válaszokat nyújt.
„Állami fortély” és „belső kényszer”. A felvilágosodás kanti programjáról
Authors: Forczek Ákos
Published: July 2023

Írásomban Kant Pragmatikus érdekű antropológiájának egy lábjegyzetéből kiindulva rekonstruálom az emberi nem karaktere és morális rendeltetése, majd e morális rendeltetés és a (világ)polgári alkotmány kidolgozásának programja közötti kapcsolatot. Ezután megvizsgálom, hogy Kant hogyan határozza meg e politikai program megvalósításán fáradozó „jellemes alattvalók”, valamint a „jellemes monarcha” cselekvési terét, s megvilágítom, milyen szerepet szán a „belső kényszernek”. Eltérő kontextusok alapján e fogalom két jelentését bontom ki: tisztázom, milyen értelemben beszélhetünk „konstruktív”, illetve „destruktív” belső kényszerről, s e distinkciót összefüggésbe hozom a praxis és a praktika, illetve a cognitio philosophica és a cognitio historica fogalompárjaival. Amellett fogok érvelni, hogy a kanti koncepció szerint a felvilágosodásnak egy konstruktív belső kényszer kiérlelésével és alkalmazásával kell kiutat találnia a „népet” már mindig is megkötöző, destruktív belső kényszer állapotából. Konklúzióm szerint e projekt feloldhatatlan feszültségekkel terhes.
The Liberal Political Realism of Bernard Williams
Authors: Csornay Annamária
Published: July 2023

Bernard Williams’s “Realism and Moralism in Political Theory” is without question one of the central texts of liberal political realism. The success of the text is due to its influential critique of dominant liberal approaches – primarily that of John Rawls –, and in its distinct approach to the grounding of liberalism itself. Even though Williams’s text had a great impact on contemporary political theory, understanding its philosophical foundations is unfairly neglected in academic discourse. The aim of this paper is to show the fundamental view behind Williams’s rejection of moralism that dominates political thinking. The strength of Williams’s approach is that it makes it clear that rationality has a limited authority in morality as well as in politics, and that it redefines the relation between morality and politics. Williams’s view has its own set of challenges, which come forward expressly in his account of legitimacy. Nevertheless, Williams’s realist arguments are indeed compelling for contemporary theorists.
