Метафізика культури Карла Поппера: світ 3 та його значення для людини
Authors: Панафідіна Оксана
Published: January 2025

Стаття присвячена оригінальній та актуальній для сучасної раціоналістичної філософії, соціальних і гуманітарних наук концепції культури Карла Поппера. Автор обґрунтовує доцільність використання терміну «метафізика культури» для позначення його концепції світу 3 як створеної людьми об’єктивної реальності, що зберігається через мову і здійснює зворотній вплив на здатність людей формувати свою самість. Поппер розробив цю концепцію на основі емерджентного еволюціонізму, плюралістичного інтеракціонізму і критичного раціоналізму.
Автор стверджує, що Поппер намагався узгодити свою метафізичну концепцію з даними сучасної науки. Крім того, як і свого часу Кант, він мав моральну мотивацію. Поппер був переконаний, що раціональність, творчість, цивілізованість і моральність потенційно приманні людині, і прагнув пояснити «Як вони можливі?» у кантівському дусі. З цієї перспективи у статті наголошується, що метафізика культури Поппера ґрунтується на принципах критичної раціоналістичної метафізики й уникає крайнощів матеріалістичного редукціонізму, психологістського суб’єктивізму та нормативного ідеалізму.
У статті представлено цілісну реконструкцію метафізики культури Поппера, зосереджену навколо чотирьох принципів: (1) принцип емерджентної екзосоматичної еволюції; (2) принцип антропогенності культури; (3) принцип лінгвістичної природи культури; (4) принцип плюралістичної взаємодії. Головна стратегія, яка реалізується у статті, переважно апологетична. Разом з тим автор звертається до аргументів тих дослідників, які критикували попперівську концепцію культури.
Головний висновок полягає у тому, що метафізику культури Поппера можна вважати фундаментальною, методологічно послідовною і значущою. Вона заслуговує на увагу як філософів, так і науковців. Однак найбільш значимим внеском Поппера є з’ясування процесу, через який людина стає самістю. На цей процес впливають два ключові фактори: біологічна еволюція, зокрема еволюція мови, та взаємодія зі світом культури. Зворотний зв’язок від світу об’єктивного змісту знання, критична позиція щодо продуктів своєї розумової діяльності, осягнення та розуміння об’єктів світу 3, дискусії з іншими людьми є умовами можливості самотрансценденції, самовдосконалення та розвитку людини як зрілої особистості.
Штучний інтелект і академічна доброчесність в контексті епістемології чеснот
Authors: Козаченко Надія
Published: January 2025

Мета статті – розглянути особливості академічної доброчесності в контексті зростаючого використання штучного інтелекту в дослідженнях. Традиційна епістемологія не враховує специфіку цього питання, тому необхідно звернутися до епістемології чеснот. Представники цього підходу вважають, що знання є результатом правильного використання епістемічних чеснот, таких як відкритість до істини, уважність та інтелектуальна чесність. Отже, доброчесне знання виникає, коли особа використовує інтелектуальні чесноти для досягнення істини. Особливими епістемічними чеснотами, що під загрозою через використання ШІ, є епістемічна автономія та відповідальність. Автономія дозволяє суб’єкту самостійно підтримувати власні переконання, а відповідальність несе епістемічний суб'єкт щодо достовірності своїх переконань. Разом з чеснотами ми розглядаємо й епістемічні вади. Ці характеристики знання допомагають нам сформулювати поняття епістемічного суб'єкта в контексті епістемології чеснот. Грунтуючись на понятті епістемічного суб'єкта ми розглядаємо епістемічний авторитет, його функції та проблеми, які виникають при взаємодії з ним. Чи втрачаємо ми епістемічну автономію, коли довіряємо авторитету? Чи є раціональною віра на основі авторитету? Чи несе людина відповідальність за переконання, набуті через авторитет, особливо якщо це має негативні наслідки? На основі дослідження ми відповідаємо на питання: чи володіє ШІ епістемічними чеснотами і чи може бути епістемічним авторитетом. Основною проблемою постає те, що ШІ не є самостійним епістемічним суб'єктом і не може відповідати за інформацію чи аналіз, як це робить людина. Він не здатний обґрунтовувати свої висновки через брак чеснот. Знання ШІ залежать від даних і методів навчання, тому він не може оцінити їх достовірність або етичні наслідки. Проте, за певних умов ШІ може демонструвати епістемічні чесноти, але це вимагає постійної взаємодії з людиною. Фінальний розділ статті розкриває можливість академічно доброчесної взаємодії зі штучним інтелектом з урахуванням особливостей його функціонування з точки зору епістемології чеснот в реальних навчальних та дослідницьких кейсах.
До проблеми iсторичного пiдґрунтя неформальної логiки (iсторико-логiчне дослiдження)
Authors: Хоменко Ірина
Published: January 2025

Неформальна логiка виникає наприкiнцi 1970-х рокiв як спроба розвинути тип логiки, який спрямований на аналiз та оцiнку таких мiркувань, з якими людина щодня стикається в полiтичних i соцiальних дискусiях, у засобах масової iнформацiї, рекламi i повсякденному мiжособистiсному спiлкуваннi. На ранньому етапi становлення неформальної логiки науковцi розглядали ї ї як альтернативу формальнiй логiцi. У 1990-х ця позицiя була уточнена – цi двi логiки не є альтернативами, вони доповнюють одна одну.Стаття присвячена дослiдженню iсторiї становлення неформального руху. Її метою є виявлення iсторичних передумов, якi сприяли появi iнiцiативи неформальної логiки. До розгляду авторка взяла iсторичний перiод з 1950-х до 1990-х рокiв.У статтi вирiзняються два типи таких передумов – концептуальнi i педагогiчнi. По-перше, базуючись на працях Стiвена Тулмiна i Хаїма Перельмана кiнця 1950-х рокiв, авторка виокремлює як концептуальну передумову критику формальної (символiчної, математичної) логiки, сутнiсть якої полягала у ї ї неспроможностi аналiзувати мiркування, з якими люди стикаються у реальному життi (як професiйному, так i буденному), наприклад, у рiзноманiтних суперечках. З цiєї передумови випливає пропозицiя надати логiцi емпiричного характеру – розробити дiєвi iнструменти для аналiзу та оцiнцi аргументативних мiркувань. Ще одна концептуальна передумова – це iдея залучити до логiчного розгляду неформальнi помилки, яка була переконливо обґрунтована у знаменитiй працi Чарльза Гемблiна «Помилки» (1970).Розглянувши iсторiю унiверситетського викладання логiки у 1950 -1970-х роках, у статтi обґрунтовується, що незадоволенiсть як викладачiв, так i студентiв тогочасними курсами з символiчної логiки, розробка нових логiчних курсiв, видання нових пiдручникiв i посiбникiв з логiки, якi мали практичну спрямованiсть, стали значущим iсторичним пiдґрунтям для появи неформальної iнiцiативи.
Емерджентна теорiя ума Джона Дьюї
Authors: Леонов Андрій
Published: January 2025

У статтi надається короткий iсторико-фiлософський коментар до першого українського перекладу сьомого роздiлу, «Природа, життя i тiло-ум», iз книги Джона Дьюї Досвiд i природа, що була вперше опублiкована у 1925 роцi й з того часу вважається фiлософським magnum opus Дьюї. Цей коментар включає короткий огляд iсторiї появи книги, опис ї ї структури та значущостi як у час ї ї появи, так i з точки зору сучасностi.
У статтi коротко розглядається головна методологiя книги, а саме метод емпiрико-натуралiстичної фiлософiї Дьюї, який має назву денотативного методу, що розглядає поняття досвiду iз функцiональної точки зору, та сутнiсть якого можна узагальнити патерном практика-теорiя-практика. Впровадженя такого методу, на думку Дьюї, зробить фiлософiю бiльш практичною та ефективною.
Досвiд i природа є чiтким вираженням метафiзики та фiлософiї ума Дьюї загалом, а сьомий роздiл є центральним стосовно його пропозицiї щодо вирiшення проблеми спiввiдношення ума й тiла зокрема. У зв’язку з цим, у статтi коротко розглядається емерджентна теорiя ума Дьюї, що є метафiзичним вирiшенням проблеми спiввiдношення ума й тiла та яка має за мету вiдновити тяглiсть мiж природою та досвiдом.
Оскiльки запропонований переклад є у певному сенсi експериментальним, той чи iнший термiнологiчний пiдхiд не має розумiтися як iстина в останнiй iнстанцiї, а отже, будь-якi конструктивнi критичнi коментарi, корективи та побажання тiльки вiтаються. Прагматичний пiдхiд до фiлософiї та фiлософування є сутнiсно фалiбiлiстським, i фiлософський переклад аж нiяк не є тому виключенням.
Цей переклад є частиною святкування, присвяченого сторiччю публiкацiї книги Досвiд i природа, що проводиться Центром вивчення Дьюї (Center for Dewey Studies), що знаходиться у Пiвденноiллiнойському унiверситетi Карбондейл (Southern Illinois University Carbondale).

Authors: Khan Arbaz Haider , Zainab Hira , Khan Roman , Hussain Hafiz Khawar
Published: January 2025

Recent advancements in analyzing methods for the identification of arrhythmia based on deep learning have revealed great promise towards improving cardiac care. Probabilistic models have been used effectively to detect a number of arrhythmic disorders from ECG signals with the help of convolutional neural networks and Long Short Term Memory neural network. These models are more precise and quicker than conventional approaches to deal with the ailment in the initial stages and with diseases such as bradycardia, ventricular tachycardia, or atrial fibrillation. However, barriers such as class distribution, data sanitization, interpretability, and generalization across different types of patients remain, which hinders their clinical utilization. Actually, deep learning is used in clinical practice, especially in wearable devices and remote patient monitoring for the unceasing and real-time continuous rheological evaluation of the cardiovascular system. The subsequent advancements in this area will focus on the proper combination of the data from multiple subject areas and the application of specific treatment approaches, including the use of artificial intelligence in a more extensive medical system. Other than the diagnosis of arrhythmias, deep learning has the chances of enhancing patient prognoses, preliminary assessment, and tailor-made treatments. It is likely that deep learning-based systems will have a possibility to evolve into powerful aid for diagnosing and setting further treatment in cases of arrhythmias, though there are issues on the way to the enhance the availability and quality of the care. This will probably be facilitated by continued research and integration between academicians, practitioners, and policy makers.

Authors: Haris Muhamad , Nurwahidin Nurwahidin , Hannase Mulawarman , Izdiyan Muttaqin Mohammad
Published: January 2025

This research discusses the relevance of the thought of Muhammad Abduh, a reformist Islamic intellectual, to the policies and work programs of the Indonesian government. Muhammad Abduh is known as a figure who championed the reinterpretation of Sharia principles to respond to the challenges of modernity, focusing on social justice, waqf reform, Islamic financial systems, and education. His thinking provides an important foundation for the development of a modern Islamic economy that is inclusive and equitable. In the context of Indonesian government policy, the 2024-2029 work program that carries the vision of Indonesia Emas 2045 integrates the values of Sharia economics and social justice in line with Muhammad Abduh's ideas. Programs such as strengthening the Sharia economy, optimizing ZISWAF (zakat, infaq, sadaqah and waqf) funds, and alleviating extreme poverty reflect the practical implementation of Muhammad Abduh's ideas. The government also emphasizes economic transformation, halal industry development, increasing Sharia financial inclusion, and Islamic values-based education to strengthen global competitiveness. This study uses a descriptive-analytical method to evaluate the relationship between Muhammad Abduh's thought and public policy in Indonesia. The analysis shows that Muhammad Abduh's ideas are not only relevant in addressing national development challenges, but also provide concrete solutions in creating social justice, community empowerment, and strengthening the Sharia economic system. This research also offers practical recommendations on how Muhammad Abduh's Islamic economic principles can be applied more broadly to support sustainable and inclusive development in Indonesia.

Published: January 2025

Mojokerto, as a key economic center in East Java, faces increasing demands for reliable and efficient road infrastructure to support its economic growth and regional connectivity. The lack of adequate retaining walls along the Bendung-Bantengan road section has resulted in significant road damages, including cracks and subsidence, which pose risks to road users and increase maintenance costs. This study investigates the application of Value Engineering (VE) as a strategic method to enhance the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of retaining wall construction in the area. Using secondary data from topographic surveys and triaxial soil tests, the study evaluates various design alternatives to identify cost savings, stability improvements, and impacts on project duration. The results demonstrate that adopting VE (Alternative 1) reduces construction costs by IDR 284,244,698 through optimized structural dimensions, while maintaining quality and stability standards. Additionally, the project completion period is shortened to 121 days, offering a faster turnaround compared to the initially planned six-month schedule. The findings emphasize VE's potential to optimize material use, minimize waste, and achieve environmental sustainability by reducing carbon emissions during construction. Moreover, VE enables enhanced collaboration among stakeholders, including consultants and contractors, to develop effective and efficient solutions for infrastructure challenges. This research underscores the importance of integrating VE during the planning stages of infrastructure projects, particularly in areas with high erosion risks. By applying VE principles, the Bendung-Bantengan retaining wall project not only meets safety and quality requirements but also contributes to long-term infrastructure resilience and economic efficiency in Mojokerto.

Systematic Literature Review: Inconsistencies and Developments in Ownership Structure and Board Characteristics in Sustainability Reporting
Authors: Nur Adhillah Mona , Meutia Inten , Febriana Kartasari Shelly
Published: January 2025

This study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method to analyze inconsistencies and developments in ownership structure and board characteristics concerning sustainability reporting. Sustainability reporting has emerged as a pivotal tool for corporations to showcase their economic, social, and environmental responsibilities. However, significant discrepancies exist in the relationship between ownership structures, board attributes, and the quality of sustainability disclosures globally. Drawing upon 37 relevant articles published between 2015 and 2024, this research identifies critical trends and gaps. Ownership structures, including foreign, institutional, and family ownership, show varied impacts on sustainability reporting across developed, developing, and mixed-economy countries. For instance, foreign ownership often drives transparency in developing nations due to external pressures, while governmental ownership exhibits mixed effects depending on regulatory and market dynamics. Similarly, board characteristics like gender diversity, independence, and the presence of sustainability committees significantly influence the quality of sustainability disclosures. These relationships, however, are subject to regional governance maturity and cultural norms. The study highlights the dominance of quantitative methodologies in existing literature, with limited exploration of mixed-method approaches. Findings also reveal that inconsistencies in results are rooted in differences in regulatory environments, market pressures, and cultural expectations. Developed nations exhibit greater adherence to stringent sustainability standards, while developing countries face challenges in harmonizing local priorities with global frameworks. By addressing these inconsistencies, this research contributes to advancing the understanding of ownership and governance dynamics in sustainability reporting. It also underscores the need for globally harmonized reporting standards to ensure consistent, high-quality sustainability practices.

Published: January 2025

This study evaluated major cities’ compliance and awareness to the disaster management and emergency response legislations and strategies in Tanzania with a focus on Dar es salaam city that have experienced persistent undesirable disasters and emergencies that arise from both natural and manmade. The study also focused at actions and programs embarked by the Dar es Salaam City Governments (Ilala, Temeke, Ubungo and Kinondoni) to implement the established disaster and emergency response legislations and strategies in dealing with the challenges identified and their way forward.

The outcome of this research was contemplated to significantly assist individuals, community, the local government and other interested parties in dealing with disasters and emergencies, and enhance understanding and compliance and awareness to the disaster management and emergency response legislations and strategies urban and rural dwellers with disaster-resilient.

This study deployed descriptive research design and survey to gather information about the research problem under the study. The survey provided quantitative account of views of sampled population and their attitudes, and provided chance to test correlation among population variables of the population samples in which 105 respondents were conveniently selected for this study.

The study found that the majority of the population are aware the about the disasters that are likely to occur in their localities and their associated impacts both health and economic impacts, but however they are not satisfied with the strategies implemented by the government to deal with them. The study revealed that, the public officials responsible for emergency response and disaster management in Dar es Salaam are aware about the legislations and plans in dealing with disasters and emergency response but the compliance to them are below average due to various factors like resources constraints, insufficient personnel, low involvement of community, insufficient institutional coordination between emergency responders, insufficient infrastructures that affect response time to emergencies, inadequate urban land use planning and strategies and political influenced decision making.

The study proposed that the government have to review and follow up implementation of developed urban land use plans base on disaster risk assessment and management reports, to intensify and provide public awareness campaigns on disaster risk management and emergency response strategies, capacity building to government officials and emergency responders on new urban development technologies and enhance their knowledge and competencies, and to review and establish a coordinated emergency response plans in major cities and establishment of early warning systems with coordinated communication systems among responders.

TRANSFORMATIONS
Authors: MANASERYAN Tatul
Published: January 2025

The increasing role of economic diplomacy is mainly associated with the problems of
economic globalization and regionalization, as well as with new emerging conditions
and opportunities for the national economy, which in turn requires real strategic rules for
partnership between the state and business in the field of trade.Meanwhile, the goals and
objectives of globally changing regimes require new approaches to managing processes
and concepts based on these approaches. In all this, public diplomacy is called upon to
play a decisive role, which in an informal and friendly environment allows to focus on
comparing the interests of different nations and benefit from the prospects for the effecttive use of competitive advantages, as international experience shows, public diplomacy, in turn, can be more effective if it is implemented by specific and targeted groups through the active participation of large enterprises, small and medium-sized businesses, scientists, artists and representatives of other sectors.

Published: January 2025

This article analyzes the function of the integrated information system within Armenia's
Unified Social Service (USS), with an emphasis on its capacity to improve the delivery
of social services by enhancing efficiency, accessibility, and responsiveness. The integrated information system serves as a fundamental component of the USS's initiatives to modernize Armenia’s social protection framework by facilitating automated data exchange, optimizing workflows, and promoting evidence-based decision-making. However, this system encounters substantial obstacles, including technical shortcomings such as outdated infrastructure, insufficient automated interconnectivity, and sluggish network performance. Additionally, organizational deficiencies emerge from the lack of network administrators and procedural inefficiencies stemming from ambiguous guidelines and the absence of quality standards. By conducting a thorough analysis of these issues, this article examines the factors that impede the effectiveness of the USS’s integrated information system while offering practical recommendations for remediation. Ultimately, this article seeks to advance Armenia’s initiatives aimed at creating a more inclusive, efficient, and equitable framework for social service delivery.

THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA AND THE REPUBLIC OF ARTSAKH ON THE
ECONOMY OF THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA
Authors: MINASYAN Manush
Published: January 2025

The economic ties between the Republic of Artsakh and the Republic of Armenia have
developed, deepened, and changed for more than thirty years. Today, it is very important to analyze these ties, assess the economic consequences of their severance, and outline the resulting changes in macroeconomic policy. The purpose of the article is to assess the impact of the loss of Artsakh on Armenia's economy. Which sectors of the economy will suffer the most, what adjustments should the financial system make, will the social burden increase in Armenia, how to regulate the newly emerging issues of the labor market and poverty assessment - these are the main questions that have been addressed in our research. This article addresses the natural resources of Artsakh, the thousand-year-old country of Armenians, presents numerical data on some material losses of the Armenian people as a result of the occupation of the Republic of Artsakh, the economic ties between RA and AR, and assesses the consequences of their collapse on the RA economy. As a result of the analysis, several steps aimed at mitigating the created socio-economic and humanitarian crisis have been proposed, in particular:  Conduct an inventory of available resources and develop realistic employment programs for Artsakh people.  Implement an inventory of free housing stock in Armenia, providing it free of charge temporarily to Artsakh people.
 Work actively in all possible ways towards the return of Artsakh people to their homeland and living a dignified life there, and until then, demand compensation for
economic and moral losses from Azerbaijan in international economic courts.
In order to implement the latter idea, it is necessary to assess the material losses of Artsakh people. It is also very important to assess public and private investments. This work will be continuous, including the results of surveys of forcibly displaced households from Artsakh and their analysis and summary.
ISSUES RELATED TO THE PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION AND THE
APPLICATION OF NATURAL LAW CONCEPT
Authors: KOCHUBAEV Aleksandr
Published: January 2025

In this research, the fundamental problems are concentrated in the initial provisions of the main conceptions of natural law, in the fundamental principle of the unity of human freedom and its coexistence in society and in nature, within the framework of the interaction of moral norms and legal law in regulating the lawful behavior of an individual, in the system of moral and legal ideals typical for the nature of the legal culture of society. Summarizing the above provisions on the uniqueness and essence of natural law, the following definition of the general (universal) concept of natural law can be formulated: natural law is a law present everywhere and always and previously and externally given to a person for a given place and time; a law that, as an expression of objective values and requirements of human existence, is the only and unconditional source of legal meaning and an absolute criterion for all definitions given by people, including positive law and the state. Consequently, natural law is a social institution of a supranational nature, conditioned by nature and the social environment, the requirements of which, breaking through the human mind and legal consciousness, acquire a legal form and act in the form of legal prescriptions, legal norms, and case law.

Iran and Armenia have a long history of friendship and effective neighborhood. Both
countries are at risk of food insecurity caused by climate change and various political and
economic crises. They are trying to cooperate in trade, including the trade of agricultural
products and food. However, is there another way to cooperate in the field of food security that addresses food production more fundamentally? This article suggests that one of
the most important ways to increase cooperation in food security is through research and
education between the two countries. This cooperation requires specific facilities and
conditions, which have been discussed.

CONGRUENCE BETWEEN AMBITION AND CAPABILITIES: CAN ARMENIA
MEET THE ECONOMIC LEVEL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION?
Authors: AMROYAN Arman
Published: January 2025

Trade and economic relations between Armenia and EU countries are in a phase of
dynamic development. Over the past four years, trade turnover has grown by more than
half, thanks to Armenia’s participation in the European Union’s Eastern Partnership
project and benefits under the GSP+․ This activity has also contributed to the revival of
domestic discourse about the country's accession to the European Union. However, the
European doctrine for accession requires not only significant trade turnover between the two parties, but also ensuring an acceptable level of a number of other socio-economic indicators. At the same time, Armenia is a member of another economic bloc, where there is no such imperative requirement for the level of well-being of the population. It is obvious that at this stage, in terms of the level of economic development, Armenia cannot compete with European leaders, however, the process of joining the new bloc is not shortlived, and taking into account the significant growth rates of the GDP of the Transcaucasian republic, a number of experts predict that a certain level of compliance will be ensured in the foreseeable future. The study analyzes such a prospect from the point of view of Armenia achieving the level of GDP per capita of the European Union countries.

ECONOMIC COMPLEXITY THEORY AND ITS APPLICATIONS: A CASE
STUDY OF ARMENIA
Authors: VARDANYAN Mher
Published: January 2025

Complexity economics, a relatively new paradigm, is a new approach to economics, originating from the Santa Fe Institute in the late 1980s that uses models from complexity theory to view and model the economy as a complex adaptive system. This paradigm arose in response to the limitations of standard economic theory, which struggled to explain many phenomena in the post-industrial era. This article provides a brief overview of the field of complexity economics, highlighting some of its main characteristics and how it differs from the traditional approach. Economic complexity expresses a country’s overall productive capabilities through its cumulative know-how, skills, and technological endowment. It is, therefore, a useful indicator to track structural change. As one of the applications of complexity economics the economic complexity index of a country is considered and in this context - the evolution of Armenia's economic complexity. It was also revealed that the “Harvard Growth Lab” methodology does not cite the re-export factor, which distorts the actual state of a country’s economic complexity resulting in pseudo-complexity metrics of the economies of some countries, including the case of Armenia in 2022: the jump in the economic complexity index compared to 2021 was 0.67, and in the ranking Armenia rose from the 91st horizontal to 54th place in one year. Taking into account the four strategic approaches to increasing product complexity and economic complexity of the country recommended by the “Harvard Growth Lab”, as well as the results of other studies, the choice of frontier technology approach was justified.

The linguocultural and linguocognitive approaches are closely related to each other in understanding the concept. These approaches differ in their attitude to the individual: the linguocognitive concept reflects the direction from individual thinking to culture, while the linguocultural concept means the direction from culture to individual thinking. To date, several methodologies for studying concepts have been developed. There are only a few methods and techniques for conducting conceptual analysis for today's research.
