The Second Vatican Council in the works of Ditrich von Hildebrandt
Authors:   Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, Bulyko Ivan Petrovich
Published: September 2023

The article is dedicated to the views of German philosopher-phenomenologist Ditrich von Hildebrandt on the consequences of the Second Vatican Council that had a great meaning in the life of Roman Catholic Church. Its aim is to show the significance of the views of the thinker on the consequences of the Second Vatican Council. Being a representative of the moderate conservative direction Ditrich von Hildebrandt speaks out critically enough on the consequences of the Second Vatican Council. The position of Ditrich von Hildebrand concerning the Second Vatican Council may be characterized as a consequently conservative. The post-council situation he appreciates with sustained critics, without concerning the questions connected with canonicity of the activity of the council. Speaking of the modernist crisis Hildebrand avoided the assessments of the activity of the Council as renovate and he spoke about catastrophic according the consequences of the interpretation of its decisions in the modernist spirit. It defined the post-council in general. Despite on the fact that famous persons and participants of the Council set a goal the renovation of the Church Ditrich von Hildebrandt sees more the degradation of the ecclesiastical life in this renovation than a progress. The reason of the degradation he sees in the fact that the bishops, guardians of the faith and canons do not use their power received from God in the full measure. The degradation is followed by him in such spheres as philosophy, morality, ecumenism and he sees the roots of the degradation in the fact that they try to adjust the Church to the world trampling the long tradition. That’s why the devastation of the Church — the vineyard of Christ — is occurred. But to prevent the possess of the devastation of the Church it is necessary to guard the faith and be vigorous.
Situation in Kosovo and Metohija before the Kosovo crisis of 1998–1999: The attitude of the Russian Orthodox Church
Authors:   Ss. Cyril and Methodius Theological Institute of Postgraduate and Doctoral Studies, Khoshev Andrey Yu.
Published: September 2023

Kosovo and Metohija is a territory in the south of modern Serbia, associated with the history of emergence and development Serbian statehood and the autocephalous Serbian Orthodox Church (SOC) in the 13th–15th centuries. Being the center of the sacred places of Serbian Orthodoxy, Kosovo and Metohija during the Ottoman yoke was turned into a hotbed of forced de-Christianization by ousting the Orthodox population and replacing it with Islamized Albanians. This strategy survived the Turkish era and was continued during the period of occupation in 1941–1945, as well as in the subsequent period of communism, culminating in the expulsion of Kosovo Serbs and the mass destruction of the SOC’s shrines with impunity under the so-called Kosovo crisis 1998–1999 and NATO aggression against Yugoslavia. The support of Russia and the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) for the Kosovo Serbs and the SOC in Kosovo and Metohija during the years of the Kosovo crisis is relatively well known and studied, including in the author’s monograph. This article, in turn, is devoted to Russian-Serbian interchurch relations in the previous period, starting from 1945 and with an emphasis on the 1980s. The visit of Patriarch Pimen of Moscow and All Russia in Kosovo and Metohija as part of his tour to Yugoslavia in 1984, as well as the subsequent development of contacts with the SOC on the Kosovo theme, is presented in detail. The article uses unpublished documents from the Archive of the Department for External Church Relations of the Moscow Patriarchate, the State Archive of the Russian Federation, the Archive of Yugoslavia, the Archive of Serbia, as well as materials published on the pages of the official periodicals of the Russian Orthodox Church and the SOC in noted historical period.
Theology in a new paradigm
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Shmonin Dmitrii V.
Published: September 2023

Interview with Dmitry Shmonin, Director of the Institute of Theology of St. Petersburg University, professor of St. Petersburg Orthodox Theological Academy and ss. Cyril and Methodius Institute for Postgraduate and Doctoral Studies, Chairman of the Expert Council of the Higher Attestation Commission under the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia in Theology, editor-in-Chief of the journal “Issues of Theology”. D. V. Shmonin is devoted to the place and role of theology in the domestic academic and educational space. Topics covered include: theology and worldview; normativity of theology in modern society; confessionality of theology; the specificity of religious thinking in the three Abrahamic traditions, as well as in Buddhism; theology and religious tradition; criticism in theology as a science; the importance of ancient and medieval heritage; the specifics of the domestic experience of the presence of theology in the educational space. Questions were raised about the status of the so-called ecumenical theology and the Anglo-American “philosophy of religion” as a non-denominational apologetic theology. The relationship between the dogmatic core of theology and scientific and theological research “on the margins” of this unchanging core is discussed. The author proposes, in connection with theology, to talk about a new educational paradigm that does not repeat the ancient one, which is impossible in modern conditions, but draws valuable and relevant from it. The main task is to secure a reliable place for theology in the domestic context as an academic discipline (or a set of disciplines) within the framework of modern humanitarian knowledge, including that transmitted in the educational process. This talk is a contribution to the ongoing debate about theology as a science, both institutionally and substantively.
Theology: The path to a universal methodology
Authors:   Moscow Theological Academy, Rupova Rozalia M.
Published: September 2023

The review is devoted to a new publishing project, which focuses on the conceptual foundations of the Christian theology of education. The paradigm of education proposed in it, in the name of which the word “theology” is in the first place, indicates that education is given a theologically significant status, it is built in the perspective of the basic values of human existence associated with God-human relations. And only by building this vertical, and nothing else, education can become a system of socio-cultural identity, and, consequently, a factor of national security. Due to the fact that each section of the monograph is prepared by a high-level specialist in a particular field of knowledge, a kind of stereoscopic effect arises. The volume and multidimensionality of the consideration of the discussed paradigm ensures its scientific validity and elaboration. Systematically and with an encyclopedic scope, the monograph presents the historical genesis of Christian education, starting from its ancient and Old Testament protoforms. Of particular value are the sections devoted to the analysis of the most valuable developments of the domestic pedagogical heritage, which, without exaggeration, has no equal in the world — such an analysis must necessarily precede its actualization. The presence in the team of authors of well-known scientists teaching both in religious and secular universities, united by their involvement in modern Russian education, testifies to the relevance and importance of the problems considered in the monograph.
O desamparo psíquico e as relações de interdependência, pensando com Freud e Judith Butler
Authors: Bastone Petra
Published: September 2023

O desamparo psíquico é um conceito fundamental na psicanálise e está presente em textos de diferentes épocas da teoria freudiana. Por meio dele, Freud nos mostra nossa completa dependência de um outro, que é capaz de nos oferecer um conforto frente a um desamparo, que é eterno e irreversível. Assim que nascemos, estamos fadados a viver em desamparo. Em paralelo com a teoria de Judith Butler, pretendemos fazer a relação do desamparo psíquico tratado por Freud com o conceito de precariedade e os laços de interdependência presentes na obra da autora, que mostra como a interdependência revela o nosso estado de precariedade em comum.

Published: September 2023

Changes in information technology have an impact on changing demands for more open governance. A number of data points and study results show that governance in Indonesia still tends not to be open, even though it has gone through several periods of bureaucratic reform. This study aims to explain the level of open government maturity in state institutions on social media after bureaucratic reform. The research uses content analysis methods on social media data, especially the official Twitter accounts of the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Religion. The results of the study revealed that there were differences in the maturity level of open government in the two government institutions studied. The Ministry of Religion still tends to be at the initial condition level even though the outcome indicators are already at the open participation level. The Ministry of Finance has tended to be at the open participation level even though the capability is still at the initial level. The quality of social media management tends to be directly proportional to the title of bureaucratic reform in each analysed institution.

Authors:   Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta, Sulastri Sri , Permatasari Ane
Published: September 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on various aspects of Indonesian people's lives. This impact has affected various sectors such as social, education, tourism, and also the economy that is undergoing a drastic decline. This economic decline has not only occurred on a national scale, but also in areas including the Yogyakarta Special District province. Therefore, the DIY Government has undertaken various policies and efforts to mitigate the impact of the spread of Covid-19 and collaborate with various parties. The study aims to analyze the management of the post-COVID-19 pandemic economic crisis in Yogyakarta Special District using the concept of agile governance. There are six (six) principles of agile governance: good enough governance, business driven, human focused, based on quick wins, systematic and adaptive approach, and simple design and continuous refinement. This research uses qualitative research methods with a descriptive approach. The result in this study is that the DIY Government has been agile, precise, responsive, and agile in dealing with the post-Covid-19 pandemic economic crisis. This is proved by six very well-fulfilled principles of agile governance, demonstrated by public participation, transparency of information, and the clear vision of the DIY government in the post -COVID-19 pandemian economic crises. In addition, there is a programme of incentive assistance to UMKM perpetrators and there is monitoring and evaluation of the program so that it can run with maximum efficiency. However, there is a note in the principle section based on quick wins, namely by improving information services so that all communities can access them easily.
CLIMATE VARIABILITY IN RELATION TO LAND USE AND LAND COVER (LULC) CHANGES IN KOTA BHARU, KELANTAN, MALAYSIA
Authors: Ibrahim Balqis , Ash’aari Zulfa Hanan
Published: September 2023

The process of rapid urbanization has significantly altered natural landscapes and contributed to climate variability. Due to urbanization, land surface characteristics are changing, resulting in a changing thermal climate making cities warmer than surrounding rural areas. The study utilized remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies to analyze the connection between land use and land cover (LULC) change and climatic variability in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, Malaysia. The outcome showed that the greatest LULC change resulted from converting vegetation and bare land into built-up areas, with 25.46% and 10.17% respectively. This represents the rapid expansion of urban land caused by population growth. LST increment averaged 3.65°C in the last decade due to this massive increase in built-up areas. A linear regression analysis between LST and LULC indices, NDBI and NDVI shows that they are positively correlated. By understanding these two variables, land use planning could be further improved, hence, reducing the city's vulnerability towards climate variability.

Published: September 2023

The application of the Geographical Information System (GIS) extends beyond mapping and includes an analysis of attribute and geographical data, identification of behavioural patterns, and visualisation of positional analysis outcomes. The system provides accurate coordinates, enabling functions such as storage and retrieval, pattern search, and model creation in GIS applications. One widely adopted approach for land-use identification involves utilising GIS operations to establish databases and conduct analyses. Thus, this study utilises ArcGIS software tools to determine the suitability of land and optimal location for the development of community gardens in Shah Alam. Decision-making was based on multiple criteria, and to ensure accurate and comprehensive data, the researchers employed a qualitative method similar to expert interviews. Related government agencies and authorities, as well as experts, provided input through three separate expert interviews. Findings from the interviews highlighted the significance of land slope, elevation, land use, proximity to settlements, road accessibility, and water access as important considerations for site selection in urban gardening or community gardens. The study demonstrates the effectiveness of GIS methods in obtaining such results and recommends that future research focus on assessing the potential for sustainable development by leveraging GIS techniques.
Elementu formas vienība mākslas darbā – abstrakcijas topogrāfija
Authors: Gediņa Linda
Published: September 2023

The work of art is a triangulative, temporal process – not: either (1) understood and analysed from the position of the creator, since the work of art itself, after all, has an intrinsic temporality and a topography guiding the gaze (perception), or (2) understood and analysed from the position of the observer, simply because the work and the artist are historical-temporal in the sense of plot, while the principles of the work’s construction and the idea of beauty are timeless. The principles that can be found in a work of art are also temporal and “the work of art is a child of its time”. Attempts to revive the principles of a work of art, i.e., the notion of beauty in a foreign time, are like monkey imitations without any inner meaning. Art is not static – a painting is also characterised by [perceptual] temporality, as is poetry. This means that a work of art is the whole of its pictorial elements in form, not the sum. What constitutes a work of art is a triangulative process. Triangulatively hermeneutical in the sense that a work of art is a work of art when the artist [imaginatively] knows that someone will look at it as a work of art, and at him as an artist, and therefore sees in the work a search for the ornamental-temporal ordering or the topography (art) that unifies the elements, rather than some other significance (such as pragmatics). However, there is no universal understanding of beauty which, as an adapted standard, would determine the subordinate [universal] essence of a work of art – classical Greek beauty, for example. “The work of art is the child of its time and often the mother of our feelings. Thus, in every cultural epoch, a peculiar art arises which cannot be reproduced,” is how Kandinsky begins his collection of notes, “On the Spiritual in Art” (1911/1912) (Kandinsky, W. Über das Geistige in der Kunst. Insbesondere in der Malerei. München: R. Piper & Co., Verlag, 1912, S. 3). Heidegger reiterates: the essence of a work of art is poetry (Dichtung). That is to say, a structure that allows something existing to appear [growing] out of itself by virtue of the order given to/seen in it. The Greek words used by the philosopher to describe this peculiarity of any work of art – painting, sculpture, poetry – are: poiēsis is physis is a-alētheia. Klee writes in his “confession of the artist”: “Art does not express the visible, but makes it visible. [...] The elements of form in printmaking are: dots, linear, planar and spatial energies. [...] A topographical plan makes it possible to imagine a little journey into a land of better understanding.” (Klee, P. “Schöpferische Konfession”. In: Schriften, Rezensionen und Aufsätze. Köln: DuMont Buchverlag, 1976). The work of the artist is similar to the work of God in creating the world.
On some inaccuracies in translation of “The Secret History of the Mongols” by A.S. Kozin
Authors:   Institute of History and Archaeology of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, Fidarov Rustem F.
Published: September 2023

Research objectives: This paper aims to identify inaccuracies in the Russian translation by A.S. Kozin of paragraphs 270 and 275 of the Mongolian 13th-century historical text “The Secret History of the Mongols.” These inaccuracies hinder a proper understanding of the information presented. The paragraphs in the source text narrate events related to the organization and course of the Great Western campaign of the Mongols (1236–1242). The translations sometimes present information that contradicts other sources and, consequently, modern interpretations of the history of the 1236–1242 Campaign. Furthermore, the points noted are occasionally refuted by other information within the same source. The analysis of these excerpts, which are ambiguous in meaning, leads to the conclusion that mistakes were made in their Russian translation. Notably, the inaccuracies identified in A.S. Kozin’s translation have not been previously addressed by researchers. Errors in the translation of the source material hinder the accurate comprehension and interpretation of its content by Russian-speaking researchers, occasionally leading modern authors astray and potentially resulting in incorrect conclusions. Research materials: This study focuses on specific information in the Russian translation by A.S. Kozin of paragraphs 270 and 275 of the Mongolian historical text “The Secret History of the Mongols.” The investigation was conducted by comparing questionable segments with translations of the source text in other European languages, as well as with re-transcriptions of the text into Mongolian carried out by specialists. Results and novelty of the research: This paper exposes inaccuracies in A.S. Kozin’s Russian translation of “The Secret History of the Mongols” and proposes their correction. A thorough understanding of the source material is crucial for its accurate interpretation and drawing of correct conclusions. This study may be of particular interest to Russian-speaking researchers.
Tamgha of “Guyuk” and the Jochids of the House of Orduids (the story of one mistake)
Authors:   Central State Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Petrov Pavel N.
Published: September 2023

Research objectives: The purpose of this study is to attribute unusual tamghas found on silver dirhams to the representatives of the House of Chingizids and establish their chronological attribution. Research materials: We have examined silver coins with unusual tamghas discovered in Kazakhstan. One tamgha is depicted as two circles connected by a line. Our focus is on a type of dirhams that has been known since the early 20th century. These dirhams lacked attribution but were published by N.P. Likhachev due to the presence of an unusual tamgha. The weight of these coins is approximately 1 gram, and the coin legends do not provide conclusive information for dating. We have identified three types of dirhams. One type of dirhams can be dated to 685 AH/1286 CE. It bears an inscription, yet there are challenges in interpreting these legends, including reading the name of the mint. The tamga was previously attributed as the property mark of Ogedei Khan. Two types of coins remain anonymous. We have identified three types of tamghas on these coins. Results and novelty of the research: We have identified a region with a significant number of discovered coins, primarily located in the vicinity of the medieval towns of Barchanlig-Ashnas-Jend in the Aral Sea region. It has been determined that some coins were minted on silver dirhams of Khwarazm during 681–690 AH. One dirham retains the original year of issue, 688 AH/1289 CE. These coins are not associated with the minting of Ogedei, and the tamgha on them does not match either. These dirhams were minted under the authority of Konichi, the ruler of the Ordu ulus. This research has opened up a new avenue in the field of Juchid numismatics. The exploration in this direction holds promise for shaping new insights into specific historical events within the Orduid’s ulus.
Black Sea ports of the Golden Horde according to Casti­lian “Libro del conosçimiento de todos los reynos” of the 14th century
Authors:   Tyumen State University, Emanov Alexander G.
Published: September 2023

Objective: This study aims to investigate the localization and reconstruct the potestary symbols of Black Sea ports that were subject to the sovereign authority of the Golden Horde in the 14th century. Based on this analysis, the research assesses the potential for the formation of the Golden Horde’s thalassocracy. Research materials: The research draws from various sources, including the Castilian “Libro del conosçimiento de todos los reynos” from the 14th century, preserved in four copies Z, N, S, and R. Additionally, it utilizes compass maps of the Black Sea created by Venetian masters Petrus Vesconte (1313), Perrino Vesconte (1321), and Mallorca’s cartographer Angelino Dulcert (1330, 1339). Byzantine periplus records of the Black Sea from the 14th to 15th centuries, Claudius Ptolemy’s “Cosmography” in a revision by Byzantine monk Maximus Planudes around 1300 AD, as well as EDB and GIS data from Tabula imperii Bizantini are also incorporated. Results and novelty of the research: The analysis of the Castilian ”Libro del conosçimiento de todos los reynos” has unveiled a previously unrecognized structure: the “Black Sea’s vexillographic portolan chart.” This portolan chart provides comprehensive descriptions of the locations of ports along the Black Sea coast, indicating the sovereign’s standards of the rulers of these port cities. In the majority of cases, the sovereign mentioned is Uzbek khan (1313–1341), under whose rule the original and now lost holotype of this remarkable portolan was compiled. Both the port names and the depictions of standards in this portolan reflect geographical and vexillographical inaccuracies of the time, as acknowledged by the Castilian compilers of the four preserved copies. By identifying the topoi and standards described in the “Black Sea’s vexillographic portolan,” a reconstruction of the Black Sea’s map, which includes all ports, shipping routes, and symbols of power related to the Golden Horde sovereign’s authority, was achieved. The final observations indicate that over 80% of the Black Sea waters were under the control of the Golden Horde, even during the reign of Uzbek khan, offering a unique opportunity for the emergence of a new thalassocracy.
The tax terminology of the Short collection of Khan’s jarlyks issued to Rus’ Metropolitans
Authors:   Institute of Russian History of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Maslova Svetlana A.
Published: September 2023

Research objectives: This study aims to determine the nature of payments made to the Golden Horde, as documented in the texts of the Short Collection of Khan’s jarlyks issued to Rus’ Metropolitans. Research materials: The research draws from various sources, including charters prepared by the orders of the Golden Horde and Yuan Empire rulers, charters of a spiritual and contractual nature from Rus’ princes, as well as Rus’ chronicles. Results and novelty of the research: This study proposes characteristics of the tax items found in Khan’s jarlyks and uncovers potential insertions within the label texts. It is demonstrated that the extensive list of duties present in the Khan’s charters was not originally a part of these documents. Many tax terms were intentionally added to the texts of the jarlyks during their translation into Russian. Some of these terms represented the Horde taxes that were actually collected from Russian lands, while others denoted payments recognized in Rus’, but not directed to the benefit of the Golden Horde. Furthermore, certain terms appear to be artificial tax designations.
New Horizons of the Medieval Black Sea Region. Book Review: Emanov A.G. Between the Polar Star and the Midday Sun: Caffa in World Trade in the 13th–15th Centuries
Authors:   Tyumen State University, Evstiunin Vladislav A.
Published: September 2023

This article delves into the monographic study by Professor A.G. Emanov of the University of Tyumen. It represents an attempt to culturally and anthropologically explore the sphere of economic relations in the Old World during the 13th–15th centuries, centered around an in-depth examination of the history of one of the largest trade and craft hubs of that era – the Crimean city of Caffa (modern-day Feodosia). The study draws upon a broad spectrum of written and material sources. The author meticulously analyzed private legal documents, both public and private records in various languages such as Latin, Middle Greek, folk Romance, Germanic, Slavic, as well as other European and Oriental languages, along with collections of numismatic artifacts. The author also compiled a topography detailing the distribution of treasures and individual finds of Caffa’s coins in Eastern Europe.The primary research hypothesis is a departure from the conventional West-East dichotomy, proposing instead the coexistence of the North and the South as central to historical processes. The author’s distinctive style is marked by a penchant for metaphors and etymological exercises. He symbolizes the North as the North Star and the South as the Midday Sun, aligning with how medieval people, especially merchants and sailors, referred to them. To characterize trade and cultural exchange between the North and the South, the author employs the unique term “meridional communication.” The book’s most distingui­shing feature lies in the author’s reconstruction of how medieval Europeans perceived goods exported from Caffa. This perception is explored in the context of urban culture, including the representation of Siberian furs in European heraldry. Additionally, the author reconstructs the mindset of businesspeople from that era. His conclusions suggest that their motives were not purely driven by greed but rather guided by ethos – a behavioral model characterized by a set of value orientations and virtues, encompassing elements such as charity and compassion for the less fortunate and vulnerable.
About Takhcheia in the letter of commendation to Yakov and Grigory Stroganov dated may 30, 1574
Authors:   Institute of Humanities Studies of the Perm Federal Research Center of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Korchagin Pavel A. , Samigulov Gayaz Kh. ,   South Ural State University (National Research University)
Published: September 2023

References to the Takhcheya region can be found in numerous sources dated the late 16th – early 17th centuries. This toponym aroused great interest among historians, but all attempts to localize this land had a very relative success until recently. Sometimes, even within the framework of one publication, two opposing opinions were expressed about which territories this notation was used at the end of the 16th century. In a recent article, one of the authors of this investigation made an attempt to analyze the information contained in the main source – a charter on lands given by Ivan IV to Yakov and Grigory Stroganov in 1574. This publication provides a more extensive historiographical review of the topic and analyzes the toponymy of the regions, adjoining from the south to the Chusovaya possessions of salt producers. As a result, the authors came to the conclusion that the name Takhcheya meant an ancient transport corridor connecting the Cis-Urals and Trans-Urals, in a broader sense, the European and Asian parts of the mainland, which went to the Southern Trans-Urals along the Chusovaya, Sylva and Ufa rivers in its upper reaches and went to north of the modern Chelyabinsk region. This is the most convenient place for crossing the Ural Range, in its lowest part, where the routes of historical roads passed, which in the Russian tradition were called the Kazan road. Several hydronyms and toponyms with the same root “takht/takhch” as in the name of Takhcheya, meaning “stop, parking place” have been identified here: the preserved names of places of traditional parking on trade routes. Thus, the assumption about the formation of the name in connection with the nature of the area, as a communication corridor and about the spread of the Takhcheya region in the South Trans-Urals, is confirmed. The Stroganovs were interested in joining the Takhcheya region to their possessions, since trade routes, that passed here, connected the Urals with Central Asia, in particular, Bukhara and Samarkand. It was quite tempting to take control of these roads, but to implement the letter of commendation granted in 1574 seemed not possible.

Published: September 2023

Introduction/Objective. Homicide, a major public concern, has always attracted the attention of criminology, psychiatry, psychology, and other related disciplines. The objective of this study was to determine the frequency and type of mental disorders in 94 attempted/ committed homicide perpetrators. Methods. The authors conducted a psychiatric assessment of all perpetrators based on psychiatric interviews, psychological testing, and the examination of available medical records. Results. The key findings of this study imply that there is a large percentage of violent crime perpetrators with mental disorders (62%). When we excluded people with personality disorders from this group, we found that the most common major mental disorders among the perpetrators were psychosis and alcohol use disorders (approximately 10% each). Conclusion. The results highlight the importance of the early identification and treatment of people with mental disorders in the general population, as this could reduce the possibility of criminal behavior. The high overall incidence of mental disorders in the group of homicide perpetrators indicates the need for a reform of psychiatric services in Serbia and the promotion of psychiatry in the community, which would contribute to bringing professionals closer to people with mental disorders and thus, timely recognition and treatment of these patients.

Published: September 2023

Using the Unified Theory of Technology Acceptance (UTAUT) model as a framework for this study, the aim was to describe how older adults assess digital services in terms of ease of use and quality in health and social care and how often those services are offered. Further, the aim was to describe how older adults receive support for service use, focusing on people aged 65 and over. A structured web-based questionnaire was used for data collection. The data (N=978) was analysed by quantitative statistical analysis. Most of the respondents found the digital services of health and social care easy to use. The function of the services was considered understandable. Respondents also felt that they could find the necessary information about the services. For the most part, they received service use help from their children or grandchildren. However, the role of health and social services professionals was less important. According to our findings, older adults received minimal support from health and social care professionals or employees in third sector organizations. Although, most respondents (70 %) needed support when using digital services.
In the future, health and social care service providers should invest in increased digital services. In conclusion, we found that older citizens know how to use digital services in the health and social care context and they receive adequate help from their relatives in using them.

The purpose – to investigate the risk factors of adolescent mental maladjustment.Research materials and methods. The diagnostic method of the clinical interview (MCI),clinical- psychopathological and statistical method were used among 30 (13 girls and 17boys) socially deprived adolescents of school age to detect mental maladjustment.The results. It has been established that psycho- emotional stress, neurotic changes andinstability of emotional reactions, especially in deprived teenagers, are caused by psychotraumatic situations (acute or chronic) and an unsatisfactory social and psychologicalclimate in the family, home, and educational institution.Strong emotional experiences of 62 % of girls (9 persons) were due to the breakup offriendships, a small number – 28 % (4 persons) due to punishment for failure at school andthe least due to the indifference of others 24 % (3 persons). Three girls noted 2 signs each.Among young people, emotional and stressful situations were caused in the largest partdue to the indifference of others – 72 % (12 people), a fairly high rate due to the breakupof friendly relations – 32 % (5 people) and the least was observed in cases of punishmentfor failure – 6 % (1 person). One young man noticed 2 signs in himself. Among thoseexamined, 70 % of teenagers were witnesses of psychological bullying, 27 % of the subjectsperiodically insulted their peers at school, and 1 boy (3 %) admitted that he sufferedbeatings from high school students. The difference is probable (Р<0.001) in comparisonwith indicators of mental and physical violence. No one described themselves as criminals.Conclusions. The application of ways to reduce or eliminate family and sociopsychological deprivation in society among the growing generation of Ukrainianteenagers will create conditions for the harmonious and comprehensive development ofthe personality that is in the process of formation.

Interactive teaching methods organize the learning process as the teachers’ and students’creativity combination. The use of these methods in the educational process is based onthe principles of scientific quality, informativeness and self-development, the relationshipbetween theory and practice, and the optimal combination of individual and collectiveactivity. An important feature of interactive games is their ability to motivate the studentfor learning, for socialization and professional development promotion. Moreover, teachersshould provide an opportunity to test knowledge in practice and in an urgent situation,and integrate students’ skills and abilities.The aim of the work – to review and justify the use of interactive teaching methods, aswell as business and role-playing games in a medical institution of higher education andto propose a brainstorming method for practical training. Іnteractive teaching methodsinclude creative tasks, small group work and educational games, the use of publicresources (inviting a specialist, attending thematic excursions), involving students insocial projects, studying the material through an interactive lecture, student- teacher andpeer-to-peer methodologies, working with visual materials, using and analyzing video andaudio materials, the case method, analyzing a situation from the participant’s practice,testing, questionnaires, an exam with further analysis of the result. The use of interactiveteaching methods ensures the activation of mental activity, leadership qualities of thestudent, develops clinical and critical thinking of the future specialist. The practice ofapplying the «brainstorming» method is considered to be promising for improving thequality of knowledge acquisition, it is a simple technique; its methodology is easy tounderstand and also to apply in the course of practical activities of the teacher.Conclusions. Game-based teaching methods in higher education can be the basis forpurposeful modeling of the integral structure of the future doctor’s professional activity.The main advantages of interactive teaching methods are the possibility of activatingstudents’ independent cognitive and mental activity, increasing motivation to studythe discipline, increasing self-esteem in the process of obtaining positive results, anddeveloping skills in modern information technology. The main goal and essence ofthe brainstorming method is to improve the training of specialists, their training anddevelopment of professional skills to a high level of qualification. This method stimulatesthe intuitive thinking in the process of searching for ideas and suggestions, developscommunication skills and group work, develops clinical thinking, and increases theeffectiveness of decisions.
Some aspects of theoretical approaches to problematization of human capital measurement: expenditures or investments
Authors: Moreeva E. V. , Ananchenkova P. I.

Human capital includes the characteristics of individuals who are active participants in the labor market. A different approach considers human capital at the level of companies (or other business units) as a set of professional abilities and characteristics of employees. At the individual level, any actions that increase the value of human capital are personal investments of an individual, while the costs of companies in professional development, formation and development of new skills and competencies of employees in the scientific literature are considered as costs and as investments. The difference in approaches is due to the time context: if a company plans to use human capital in the short term, then the payback period for investments in its increase is too small. However, if we are talking about the long-term use of human capital, then such a period covers the costs of its development and ensures an increase in profits from its use. Therefore, for companies striving for sustainable development and long-term competitiveness, human capital is a factor of production and an object of investment.

Optical thermometers are advantageous for temperature measurement in electromagnetic fields and aggressive environments; however, their composition mostly relies on materials doped with expensive and resource-limited rare earth ions.

In this article, we describe the application of calcium aluminate doped with transition metal ions (Mn2+ and Cr3+) in optical thermometry, employing optical fibres for signal transmission. Upon excitation with 450 nm laser diode radiation, changes in the luminescence of Mn2+ ions in the 500–550 nm band are followed along with changes in the Cr3+ band at 750–800 nm.

The application has been tested in the temperature range from 20 °C to 800 °C. The temperature dependence of Cr3+ luminescence encompasses the high-temperature range, whereas the luminescence band of Mn2+ ions gives an increase in the total intensity and provides a more consistent change in the range from 400 °C to 550 °C.

The recent rapid development of cloud technologies has encouraged its widespread use by individual mobile users, private organizations and public institutions. Mobile users and organizations deploy their data on cloud servers and use it. Connections to cloud servers are realized over the Internet, which makes data transmitted over the network vulnerable to various types of attacks. Although numerous security solutions have been proposed for data security in cloud computing systems, the security of provided services remains an actual problem for both cloud users and cloud service providers. The article provides a general survey of security and privacy issues in cloud computing systems, and reviews various types of attacks and possible threats, as well as protection methods and available solutions against such attacks, and proposes mechanisms.
Debates históricos-conceptuales de la dignidad: Una observación del horizonte político y normativo
Authors: Morales-Olivares Rommy , Silva-Tapia Andrea , Cárcamo Petridis Pedro
Published: September 2023

En este artículo se esbozan los principales debates en el pensamiento de Occidente sobre el concepto de dignidad desde la metodología de la historia conceptual de Reinhardt Koselleck. Estos debates presentan dimensiones y complejidades que, aunque se iniciaron en la Antigüedad, siguen vigentes y abiertas. Las diversas tensiones que lo acompañan hacen imposible alcanzar un consenso sobre el carácter de la dignidad. Más aún, su concepto se ha ido complejizando con nuevas dimensiones y actores sociales a lo largo del tiempo. Más que resolver estas tensiones para conformar un concepto único, se muestra la evolución histórica en autores claves que han tratado directa o indirectamente este tema en sus obras, a saber: Aristóteles, Cicerón, Agustín de Hipona, Pico della Mirandola, Locke, Voltaire, Hume, Rousseau, Wollstonecraft, Kant, Hegel, Marx, Bloch, Arendt, Habermas, Rawls y Nussbaum, quienes han arrojado luz sobre las dimensiones de la dignidad y su alcance. El concepto de dignidad sigue abierto: la cuestión de su inherencia, su esencialidad humana, su dimensión colectiva, su relación con la libertad, la autonomía y la igualdad, así como su posible configuración institucional en el derecho y la política, dan cuenta de que, para la sociedad moderna, el progreso como horizonte no puede separarse de la normatividad política vinculada a su propia definición.

This article outlines the main debates on the concept of dignity in thought using Reinhardt Koselleck's conceptual history methodology. These debates present dimensions and complexities that, although they began in antiquity, are still ongoing and open. The various tensions that accompany the debate make it impossible to reach a consensus on the character of dignity; moreover, the concept has become more complex and has incorporated new dimensions and social actors throughout its evolution. Rather than resolving these tensions to form a single concept, the historical evolution is shown in key authors who have directly or indirectly dealt with the concept in their works, namely: Aristotle, Cicero, Augustine of Hippo, Pico Della Mirandola, Locke, Voltaire, Hume, Rosseau, Wollstonecraft, Kant, Hegel, Marx, Bloch, Arendt, Habermas, Rawls and Nussbaum, who have shed light on the dimensions of dignity, and its scope. The concept of dignity remains open, the question of its inherence, its human essentiality, its collective dimension, its relationship with freedom, autonomy and equality, as well as its possible institutional configuration in law and politics, show that, for modern society, progress as a horizon cannot be separated from the political normativity linked to its own definition.
The loss of our glaciers over the 21st century: a future we can contro

The loss of glaciers affects sea level, water availability, and natural hazards resulting in socioeconomic impacts for communities around the world, even for those located far from these icy giants. Our study found that limiting future increases in global mean temperature to +1.5°C will still cause the loss of more than 25% of their current mass but would prevent widespread ice-loss in many high-mountain regions.
