Light in darkness (towards the ontology of mind in Pascal's philosophy)
Authors: Malakhov Viktor
Published: December 2023

The article examines the ontological status of reason in Pascal's philosophy. This consideration takes place against the background of the debate on whether Pascal's philosophy belongs to either one of the modern traditions: rationalist or irrationalist. The author argues that the ontological dimension of Pascal's concept of mind is determined by: (a) the primacy of the ethical and practical context of human existence; (b) the non-exclusivity of mind as an instance of human agency; (c) the existence of man as a rational being in a non-rational universe. The author comes to the conclusion that it is impossible to unambiguously classify Pascal's philosophy as rationalist or irrationalist, since Pascal's doctrine combines features characteristic of both tendencies.
Humility and power of the reason: paraphrase of Pascal
Authors: Proleiev Sergii
Published: December 2023

The article compares the concepts of rationality created by Descartes and Pascal. The comparison is held in the light of the problem of the relationship between Modern conception of reason and the idea of rationality as a type of power. The author points out that the fundamental obviousness of ratio, first justified by Descartes and defined as the identification of the power of reason with actions that correspond to the true essence of things themselves, can be considered as the basis for this interpretation. The author reconstructs the five steps of justification leading to the formulation of Descartes' metaphysical thesis ego cogito ergo sum - the initial obviousness of reason. It is this initial obviousness that determines the dominant and determining character of reason as the foundation of man in Descartes' philosophy. The author contrasts Descartes' metaphysics of reason with Pascal's concept of rationality, which is based not on the initial but on the final obviousness of reason: the existence of principles other than it, in coordination with which the true power of reason lies. It is proved that Pascal opposes Descartes not by denying the power and significance of reason, but by reinterpreting its omnipotence. Author justifies that Pascal's concept of rationality is an example of criticism of the vision of reason as power, as well as an important resource for relevant contemporary philosophical discussions.
"Theory of Modern" as a "crisis" programme of philosophy
Authors: Solodka Olena
Published: December 2023

The author advocates the hypothesis that the concept of «crisis» is born not within the framework of postmodern philosophy, but within the «theory of modernity», i.e. in the perspective of Kant and Hegel. The theory of modernity is primarily understood as the theory of the crisis of rationality, which is marked by the transition to «procedural rationality». The latter is associated with the introduction of a number of philosophemes that are the object of study in this article: «crisis», «modernity», «criticism», «encyclopaedia», «progress», «civilisation», «culture», «consciousness».

The article presents the results of an experimental study of the strategies of adolescents’ emotional regulation, analysis of the impact of ways of overcoming, coping with stressful situations on the constructiveness (environmental friendliness) of emotional personality regulation in environmentally oriented life. The study used theoretical, empirical and data processing methods (Pearson's correlation coefficient). Based on the analysis of the psychological literature of native and foreign researchers, the essence of the concept of "emotional regulation", "environmental strategies for managing emotions" within environmental psychology is clarified. The study of strategies for regulating students’ emotions, in order to determine the frequency of use of constructive (environmental) strategies for emotional regulation to maintain environmentally oriented life. Features of strategies of students’ emotional regulation through the level of formation of cognitive components of emotional regulation, features of control over emotions, intensity and frequency of use of certain styles of protection against affective situations are revealed. The psychological features of constructive and destructive strategies of emotion regulation are described, the peculiarities of their connection with behavioral strategies and personal styles of the subject's reaction to an emotional situation are determined. The results of the experimental study allowed us to conclude that young men and women in stressful situations prefer constructive strategies to regulate emotions, which help to find solutions, manage a difficult situation and cope with its consequences. The use of destructive strategies in coping with stressful situations leads to negative experiences, the strength and duration of which depend on the context of the situation. However, destructive experiences prevent young people from maintaining an environmentally oriented life.

Authors: Ahmed Yamama A. , Salman Rasha H. , Kandemirli Fatma
Published: December 2023

The economical and highly performed anode material is the critical factor affecting the efficiency of electro-oxidation toward organics. The present study aimed to detect the best conditions to prepare Mn-Co oxide composite anode for the electro-oxidation of phenol. Deposition of Mn-Co oxide onto graphite substrate was investigated at 25, 30, and 35 mA/cm2 to detect the best conditions for deposition.  The structure and the crystal size of the Mn-Co oxide composite electrode were examined by using an X-Ray diffractometer (XRD), the morphological properties of the prepared electrode were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques, and the chemical composition of the various deposited oxide was characterized by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The study also highlighted the effect of current density (40, 60, and 80 mA/cm2), pH (3, 4, and 5), and the concentration of NaCl (1, 1.5, and 2 g/l) on the anodic electro-oxidation of phenol was investigated.  The results revealed that the composite anodes are successfully prepared galvanostatically by anodic and cathodic deposition. In addition, the current density of 25 mA/cm2 gave the best cathodic deposition performance. The removal efficiency of phenol and other by-products increased as the current density and the concentration of NaCl in the electrolyte increased, while it decreased as the pH increased. The prepared composite electrode gave high COD removal efficiency (98.769 %) at the current density of 80 mA/cm2, pH= 3, NaCl conc. of 2 g/L within 3 h.

Published: December 2023

A microbubble air flotation technique was used to remove chromium ions from simulated wastewater (e.g. water used for electroplating, textiles, paints and pigments, and tanning leather). Experimental parameters were investigated to analyze the flotation process and determine the removal efficiency. These parameters included the location of the sampling port from the bottom of the column, where the diffuser is located to the top of flotation column (30, 60, and 90 cm), the type of surfactant (anionic, SDS, or cationic, CTAB) and its concentration (5, 10, 15, and 20 mg/L), the pH of the initial solution (3, 5, 7, 9, and 11), the initial contaminant concentration (10, 20, 30, and 40 mg/L), the gas flow rate (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.5 L/min), and the contact time (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35 min). The experimental results revealed that the highest removal efficiency (95%) was achieved in 20 min with a pH of 7, a flow rate of air 0.5 L/min, an SDS surfactant concentration of 15 mg/L, and a pollutant concentration of 30 mg/L at a sampling port height of 30 cm. The use of microbubbles in comparison to normal bubbles, resulted in a 56% improvement of the removal efficiency. The flotation process follows a first-order kinetics.

Published: December 2023

In southern Iraq, the Yamama Formation has been a primary carbonate resource since the Lower Cretaceous era. This study covers Siba Field, which is located in southeastern Iraq. This paper will be devoted to a YC unit of study. The most crucial step in reservoir management is petrophysical characterization. The primary goal of this research is to assess the reservoir features and lithology of the Yamama (YC) Formation in the Siba region. Accessible excellent logs include sonic, density, neutron, gamma-ray, SP, and resistivity readings. The Interactive Petrophysics (IP4.4) program examined and estimated petrophysical features such as clay volume, porosity, and water saturation. The optimum approach was the neutron density and clay volume calculation using the Gamma Ray Method (VclGR), it was 0.246 in SB-6 since they are not impacted by anything. The Archie method was chosen due to its suitability for limestone. The lithology and mineralogy of the formations were determined using M-N cross plots; the diagram revealed that the Formation was composed of limestone. The Archie parameter was determined using the Pickett plot and formation water resistivity from the Pickett plot and SP log where the results were similar in all wells (RW=0.016, m=2.08, n=2.3, a=1.1). In addition, the higher section of the formation has good reservoir qualities such as density is (2.368g/cc), porosity is (PHIE=0.117) in SB-6.

Published: December 2023

Sri Lanka is the world’s fourth-largest tea producer and prime orthodox variety supplier. In Sri Lanka, tea export earnings peaked in 2014 at USD 1.56 billion, and the industry managed to record USD 1.3 billion in 2021, regardless of the increased cost of production and lower yields. The majority (75%) of total tea production is supplied by tea smallholders whose land extent is less than ten acres [1]. Tea is grown in 14 districts, and smallholder farmers play a significant role in Rathnapura, Galle, Matara, Kandy, Kalutara, and Kegalle districts. Smallholder farmers cultivate 61% of the total tea-grown land, which amounts to 200,000 hectares. According to the Tea Small Holdings Development Authority (TSHDA), approximately 75% of smallholder land plots are less than one acre, demonstrating the notable contribution of micro-level farming to the industry
Unlocking the blue economy: financing a sustainable ocean future
Authors:   University of Moratuwa, Niluka G , Dushyantha N
Published: December 2023

The world’s oceans are integral to the livelihoods, food security, and economic well-be- ing of billions of people around the world. More than three billion people, roughly 40% of the global population, reside in coastal areas and rely on the ocean as a fundamental source of their livelihoods [1]. Meanwhile, industries such as tourism, fisheries, marine transportation and petroleum-related to the ocean economy play a key role in global economic expansion and climate action [2], [3]. Despite the immense value of the ocean, marine ecosystems face many threats, including climate change with rising sea levels and ocean acidification, pollution from natural and anthropogenic sources, unsustain- able fishing practices depleting fish stocks, and coastal development [4], [5]. For exam- ple, in the Sri Lankan context, the X-Press Pearl ship accident has caused enduring dam- age to the local coastal and marine ecosystem. The contamination of these ecosystems with hazardous materials and plastic pellets has led to a sustained decline in fish stocks, adversely impacting the fishing industry. The Sri Lankan eco-tourism has also experi- enced long-term declines in tourism revenue. The lasting health risks associated with pollutants threaten both marine life and communities dependent on the ocean
Commemorative stamp: background and the design perspective
Authors:   University of Moratuwa, Peiris N
Published: December 2023

A postage stamp symbolises a nation’s value, consisting of physical and symbolic dimensions. Physically, it encompasses the paper, design, inscriptions, ink, gum, perforation etc. Designing such a small yet democratic symbol holds immense significance as each line, shape, colour, and texture carries profound symbolic meanings. This fiscal device has only a three-second window to communicate between the user and the envelope it is affixed (Zsolt, 2012). Discussions on the ‘Science of Designing Stamps’ initiated in 2020 between the Department of Integrated Design, University of Moratuwa, and the Philatelic Bureau of Sri Lanka. These laid the groundwork as the Department spoke about the scientific nature of designing stamps and proposed thirty (stamp) sample designs and themes, emphasising that stamps are not just affixed prints but national symbols, landmarks of history and revenue generators completed for its users. In addition to this discussion a stamp design competition was launched in 2020, inviting Media and Communication Design undergraduates who were endangered in this conversation via their project; Graphic and Layout Design to partake. The winning design, created by Ms. Amaya Rodrigo, was launched to mark 2020.02.20, 20:20:20 stamp. Continuing in this vein, a stamp competition was initiated for the University’s 50th Commemorative stamp, calling upon present and past graduates to design an innovative stamp reflective of the institution’s journey towards excellence

Published: December 2023

We define an anomaly as an unlikely occurrence that deviates from a typical behavior [1]. An anomaly could be a defect in a production line, sudden stock market fluctuations or natural disasters such as deforestation, volcanic eruptions, or floods [2] [3]. The assistance of an intelligent system to identify such disturbances would be very beneficial to initiate methods to prevent such situations in the early stages. This study forwards an AI based anomaly detection system and its testing stages primarily focused on the detection of deforestation, where when deforestation occurs, it shows an anomalous scenario which deviates from the typical sights of lush green forests.

Deep brain stimulation for Tourette syndrome: modulation of the limbic-motor interface network
Authors: Avecillas-Chasin Josue M. , Galbiati Tommaso , Porta Mauro , Servello Domenico
Published: December 2023

OBJECTIVE

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective treatment for medically refractory Tourette syndrome (TS). Several effective targets have been reported, but there is still controversy about the networks involved in the efficacy of DBS for TS. Here, the authors aimed to identify the basal ganglia–thalamo-cortical networks associated with tic and obsessive-compulsive behavior (OCB) improvement and the network link between the two main targets for TS.

METHODS

A retrospective analysis of 21 patients treated with pallidal and thalamic DBS was performed. Tics and OCB scores were recorded before and after DBS. The authors localized the electrodes in standard MNI (Montreal Neurological Institute) space and calculated the volume of tissue activated with the settings at the last follow-up to obtain areas of maximal improvement ("sweet spots") among all patients for the pallidal and thalamic targets. Tractography was used to show the white matter pathways associated with maximal tic and OCB improvement.

RESULTS

Ten patients treated with pallidal DBS and 11 patients treated with thalamic DBS were included. Responder rates were 80% in the pallidal and 64% in the thalamic target groups. Sweet spots for tics and OCB clustered in several areas across the basal ganglia and thalamus delineated two main networks. Tic reduction in the pallidal target mapped to a limbic pallidothalamic network and in the thalamic target to the premotor thalamocortical network. Putting these two networks together will form the main output of the so-called limbic-motor interface network. However, OCB reduction mapped a dorsomedial prefrontal cortex/dorsal anterior cingulate (dmPFC/dACC) network.

CONCLUSIONS

The authors demonstrated the involvement of the limbic-motor interface network during effective DBS for tics in patients with TS. OCB redution was associated with the additional involvement of dmPFC/dACC connections passing dorsal to the head of the globus pallidus pars externa on its way to the thalamus and midbrain.
Critical Discourse Analysis of RT news headlines on Venezuela’s post-coup crisis in 2019-2020
Authors: Matselyukh Ihor
Published: December 2023

This article researches the biased content of the propagandistic channel RT through the prism of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). It attempts to uncover the linguistic means of creating biased content in RT headlines that cover the Venezuela’s post-coup crisis of 2019-2020. It offers a CDA approach to the systemic bias in the headlines of 375 news stories featured on one of the most tendentious webcasters, the Russian state news provider RT. The current CDA focuses on presuppositions and implicatures, back- and fore-grounding, agency, lexis, punctuation, and briefly on other figurative linguistic means in the headlines and traces their relative recurrence that might form a pattern.
Methodology for conducting linguistic research into visual impairment: Challenges and recommendations
Authors: Sak-Wernicka Jolanta
Published: December 2023

Despite great value of research into visual impairment (VI), there is a dearth of empirical studies in linguistics investigating the extent to which the sense of seeing impacts language development, processing and production. The lack of methodological rigour in previous studies as well as large diversity of the population, small incidence of visual impairment and little awareness of blind people’s needs make this field of study challenging for researchers. This article presents and discusses the most challenging aspects of performing experimental studies in the field of VI. The overarching aim of this paper is to guide good research practice which ensures robust and unbiased experimental design and at the same time respects individuality of people with VI.
Enclisis, mesoclisis and inflection in Italo-Romance varieties: A minimalist analysis
Authors: Savoia Leonardo M. , Baldi Benedetta
Published: December 2023

This contribution addresses a central theme in morphological analysis, namely the relationship between clitics and inflectional elements. Important contributions on the point are due to Anderson (1992) and Marantz (1988), who, in different ways, connect clitics and affixes. We will propose a solution based on the idea that clitics are part of the inflectional arrangement of the verbal head. Specifically, we will investigate two types of data coming from some Romance varieties in which enclisis and mesoclisis phenomena interact with word formation. These phenomena affect the expression of the Internal Argument and lead us to rethink the analysis of enclisis and mesoclisis in terms of the ability of the inflected verb to realize Phasal domains. In other words, morphology is part of the syntactic computation, and morphemic elements, endowed with interpretable content, are introduced by the operation of Merge.
When must not is not forbidden
Authors: Szymański Leszek
Published: December 2023

The present paper describes an empirical investigation into an English modal predicate with the auxiliary verb must, the negative particle not and the bare infinitive of the main verb. Typically, the negator not changes the meaning of must from obligation or strong recommendation to forbiddance. This, however, takes place only with the root flavor of must. Epistemic must does not interact with not in this way. The study uses authentic language samples retrieved from the online version of The Corpus of Contemporary American English. The analysis adapts the model of the semantic field of modal expressions developed by Kratzer (1991), and it attempts to find what lies behind the said lack of interaction between must and not. After a scrutiny of the conversational backgrounds influencing the studied modal meanings, the study found that the meaning expressed by a speaker with must not depends on whether the speaker evaluates the propositional circumstances directly or infers from them. Moreover, the study proposes patterns of must-not interfaces with regard to the modal flavor.
Subject-Object binding dependencies in Romanian
Authors: Tigău Alina
Published: December 2023

This paper dwells on an interesting contrast between Romance (Romanian, Spanish a.o.) and Germanic languages (English, German a.o.) with respect to the syntax and the interpretation of the direct object (DO). One structural difference between these two groups of languages amounts to the fact that the former clitic double (CD) and differentially object mark (DOM) their direct objects while the latter do not. This leads to important interpretive consequences when it comes to phenomena such as Subject-Object binding dependences: Non-CD languages rely on the c-command configuration and surface word order in resolving binding relations (the antecedent must c-command the element containing the bound pronoun. As a consequence, a natural way for the DO to bind into the Subject is to have it moved to the left, in a preceding, c-commanding position). As will be shown, in CD languages, the word order configuration is not decisive: the direct object may bind the subject without having to precede it at the same time. The paper draws a parametric difference between configurational languages (where binding is closely linked to the c-command configurations and is sensitive to surface word order) and non-configurational languages, where the same semantic properties can be derived from the internal structure of the direct object (through its featural specification).
Le bilboquet, un badinage dangereux ? Une étude sur Le Bilboquet de Marivaux
Authors: Pan Jingxuan
Published: December 2023

La fable du Bilboquet de Marivaux donne à imaginer la fureur sociale provoquée par ce jeu à l’époque. Poussé par un ressentiment contre le bilboquet qui distrait sa maîtresse, le narrateur développe comment la Folie a conquis les gens de l’Europe à travers cette frivolité. À travers la mise en scène de la contagion du jeu, on observe comment le plaisir qu’il procure ainsi que le désir mimétique des hommes contribuent au succès du bilboquet. Le désordre social résultant de cette frénésie ludique nous amène à nous interroger sur la nature du jeu : s’agit-il simplement d ’une distraction divertissante ou représente-t-il en réalité un danger ? Une telle « bagatelle » peut avoir de graves conséquences, conformément à une logique de réévaluation du « rien » que l’on retrouve dans la plupart des œuvres de Marivaux.
« Une impression posthume des sensations d’autrefois » : le jeu nostalgique dans La Décadence latine de Joséphin Péladan
Authors: Doherty Ryan Atticus
Published: December 2023

Pour le psychanalyste Donald Winnicott, le jeu constitue une « valeur positive de l’illusion » qui, pour l’adulte, ainsi que pour l’enfant, permet d’accéder à la réalité de façon graduelle et supportable. Bien que connu plutôt pour son concept de l’objet transitionnel chez les enfants, Winnicott revendique pourtant le rôle essentiel des phénomènes transitionnels à toutes les étapes de la vie, à tout le moins celui de la création artistique. Cet article vise à mettre en jeu la psychologie de Winnicott, surtout de son livre Jeu et réalité (1971) et La Décadence latine (1884 & seq.) de Joséphin Péladan, œuvre méconnue et insuffisamment étudiée de la littérature décadente. S’appropriant un regard nostalgique sur l’histoire, Péladan la transformeen fantaisie contre-culturelle qui constitue un acte de résistance au présent. Il se crée une alternative à l’histoire, une « expérience illusoire » qui, moitié jeu, moitié reformulation de la réalité, lui fournit une façon de contourner la déchéance morale. Or, Péladan oppose à ses peurs de la fin de la latinité une nouvelle trajectoire historique de son innovation propre afin de réécrire le monde à rebours.
Le jeu de la sémiose. L’humour comme opération sémiotique ludique dans Cent mille milliards de poèmes de Raymond Queneau

Quelle est la valeur du jeu pour un lecteur lorsque le texte littéraire se pense lui-même radicalement comme un dispositif ludique ? Le produit inaugural de l’Ouvroir de Littérature Potentielle que fut le recueil de poésie combinatoire des Cent mille milliards de poèmes de Raymond Queneau interroge la lecture de façon exemplaire, eu égard à la double problématique qu’il suscite, de l’effacement auctorial et de l’activité lectorielle. Cet article voudrait ouvrir la voie à une requalification épistémologique de la notion d ’humour, en l’abordant comme une pratique (ludique) de mise en sens, et plus particulièrement ici comme pratique interprétative. À partird’une conception dialectique du jeu, héritée du libre « jeu des facultés » de Kant, il se veut l’occasion d’un rapprochement peu commun entre l ’humour et la lecture littéraire. Avec l’ambivalente complicité de l’auteur, la mise en scène du lecteur se confond avec la mise en sens de l’œuvre.
La tutelle de La Vie mode d’emploi de Georges Perec dans 209 rue Saint-Maur de Ruth Zylberman est-elle ludique ou existentielle ?
Authors: Shiotsuka Shuichiro
Published: December 2023

Dans cet article, nous examinons quelle est la relation entre l’aspect oulipien de La Vie mode d’emploi (1978) de G. Perec et l’investigation chez R. Zylberman dans son livre 209 rue Saint-Maur Paris Xe, autobiographie d’un immeuble (2020). Si nous nous attardons sur cette comparaison, c’est qu’il existe une torsion entre eux : d’un côté, ce reportage est certes un bel exemple de « littérature d ’investigation », mais il n ’est pas, à la différence des reportages d’obédience perecquienne, sous la domination de « contraintes existentielles » ; de l’autre, il a pour décor un logement collectif, comme c ’est le cas pour le roman de Perec, sans toutefois recourir aux contraintes langagières. Nous démontrons que la tutelle de La Vie mode d’emploi dans le livre de Zylberman est de nature plutôt existentielle mais un tant soit peu teintée de ludisme oulipien.
Le jeu dans le roman Hors d’Atteinte ? d’Emmanuel Carrère : une réponse à l’angoisse existentielle ?
Authors: Baës Paméla
Published: December 2023

Au casino, Frédérique s’abandonne à la roulette qui lui confère un lieu protecteur « hors d ’atteinte ». Moment  d’oubli, le jeu lui procure un vertige intense et apparaît comme une forme d’abandon, un acte de révolte contre les diktats de la société. Il se définit aussi comme une pratique ordalique signifiant que le personnage s’en remet au hasard. Sorte de pharmakon, le jeu procure un sentiment de toute puissance en jugulant l’angoisse de l’héroïne, mais en se révélant également mortifère. Frédérique, double spéculaire d’un auteur en proie à une angoisse ontologique, bascule rapidement dans la folie des joueurs. Le jeu s’avère-t-il vraiment salutaire pour la jeune femme plongée dans l’oubli de soi ? A-t-il un effet cathartique sur le personnage ? Ne se révèle-t-il pas, au contraire, une pure chimère, une illusion incapable de combler les fantasmes de l’héroïne, si ce n’est le temps d’une parenthèse hors du réel ?
Jeux et hasard dans l’écriture de Patrick Modiano
Authors: Grenaudier-Klijn France
Published: December 2023

De nombreux romans de Patrick Modiano font intervenir le motif du jeu – prédicat et espace – dans la narration, aux niveaux actoriel, thématique et structural. L’introduction de cet élément mineur – il ne s’agit pas d’un thème – nous renseigne toutefois autant sur la technique romanesque employée par Modiano que sur les considérations métaphysiques sous-tendant son écriture. Une lecture attentive centrée sur divers épisodes articulés autour du jeu nous permet ainsi de mieux comprendre les modalités adoptées par l’écrivain dans l’élaboration de ses personnages et dans l’architecture de ses récits. L’insertion du motif du jeu nous permet en outre d’identifier et d’analyser la valeur accordée au hasard et à   l’indéterminabilité sous toutes ses formes dans le récit modianien, à partir duquel se déploie une véritable métaphysique, voire une éthique, de l’indétermination.
