Authors: Valkanov Kiril , Kolev Nikolay , Koynova Teodora , Natchev Nikolay
Published: July 2023

In the present study we report on new localities of Largemouth Black Bass, Micropterus salmoides (Lacé-pède, 1802), detected on the territory of Bulgaria. This invasive predator was observed for the first time in 2018 in a water basin in the capital city of Sofia city (western Bulgaria) and the following monitoring revealed that seven water bodies in the capital were inhabited by adults, subadults, and juvenile specimens. In 2021 and 2022, this spe-cies was captured in water basins in the vicinity of lake Mandra near the city of Burgas (south-eastren Bulgaria). Currently, these sites represent the easternmost localities within the distribution of M. salmoides in the Balkan peninsula and perhaps in continental Europe.
Inclusive writing
Authors: Abbou Julie
Published: July 2023

This article documents the linguistic, disciplinary, geographical and ideological circulation of the notion of ‘inclusive writing/d’écriture inclusive’ in order to understand the French controversy surrounding the term. The article shows that North American Protestant feminist theologists first spread the expression in the 1970s. The expression then circulated in feminist circles in English and French, in Europe and North America, but also in the fields of disability and pedagogy. Its success in the French space, however, is not only due to its Protestant roots but also to a republican definition of inclusion emerging in France in the 1990s. By the time the controversy shot up, the paradigm of inclusion was thus loaded with its French republican meaning as much as its English and/or North American meaning, creating an ideological paradox that limits inclusive writing’s critical capacity and fails to question relations of domination.

Elucidating the Proximal Tubule HNF4A Gene Regulatory Network in Human Kidney Organoids
Authors: Yoshimura Yasuhiro , Muto Yoshiharu , Omachi Kohei , Miner Jeffrey H. , Humphreys Benjamin D.
Published: July 2023

Significance Statement

HNF4 genes promote proximal tubule differentiation in mice, but their function in human nephrogenesis is not fully defined. This study uses human pluripotent stem cell (PSC)–derived kidney organoids as a model to investigate HNF4A and HNF4G functions. The loss of HNF4A, but not HNF4G, impaired reabsorption-related molecule expression and microvilli formation in human proximal tubules. Cleavage under targets and release using nuclease (CUT&RUN) sequencing and CRISPR-mediated transcriptional activation (CRISPRa) further confirm that HNF4A directly regulates its target genes. Human kidney organoids provide a good model for studying transcriptional regulation in human kidney development.

Background

The proximal tubule plays a major role in electrolyte homeostasis. Previous studies have shown that HNF4A regulates reabsorption-related genes and promotes proximal tubule differentiation during murine kidney development. However, the functions and gene regulatory mechanisms of HNF4 family genes in human nephrogenesis have not yet been investigated.

Methods

We generated HNF4A-knock out (KO), HNF4G-KO, and HNF4A/4G-double KO human pluripotent stem cell lines, differentiated each into kidney organoids, and used immunofluorescence analysis, electron microscopy, and RNA-seq to analyze them. We probed HNF4A-binding sites genome-wide by cleavage under targets and release using nuclease sequencing in both human adult kidneys and kidney organoid-derived proximal tubular cells. Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats–mediated transcriptional activation validated HNF4A and HNF4G function in proximal tubules during kidney organoid differentiation.

Results

Organoids lacking HNF4A, but not HNF4G, showed reduced expression of transport-related, endocytosis-related, and brush border–related genes, as well as disorganized brush border structure in the apical lumen of the organoid proximal tubule. Cleavage under targets and release using nuclease revealed that HNF4A primarily bound promoters and enhancers of genes that were downregulated in HNF4A-KO, suggesting direct regulation. Induced expression of HNF4A or HNF4G by CRISPR-mediated transcriptional activation drove increased expression of selected target genes during kidney organoid differentiation.

Conclusions

This study reveals regulatory mechanisms of HNF4A and HNF4G during human proximal tubule differentiation. The experimental strategy can be applied more broadly to investigate transcriptional regulation in human kidney development.
PUNISHING DOMESTIC HOUSEBREAKING
Authors: Shannon Hoctor
Published: July 2023

Housebreaking is pre-eminently a crime of violation. From the earliest times the interest of a person in the safe and private habitation of his home has been treated reverently and regarded as deserving of special protection by the law. This is reflected in the original rationale for the crime, in its Common Law manifestation, as an offence against the habitation. Domestic housebreaking, consisting of the breaking and entry into a dwelling for the purposes of committing a crime within, is thus the classic form of the housebreaking crime, involving the violation of the dweller's sanctuary from external attack (for, as Coke has enquired, “where shall a man be safe if it be not in his house?”). The consequences of domestic housebreaking are not only (in the typical case) material loss, but a significant degree of psychological or emotional trauma. The victim has to contend with more than just the initial shock however. Research has indicated that feelings of fear and nervousness, along with changes in eating and sleeping patterns, may persist long after the housebreaking has taken place. Where the incident of housebreaking goes beyond simple transgression of property interests, with a concomitant infringement of the victim's territoriality, and results in a confrontation between housebreaker and victim, it follows that the resulting harm may be notably amplified.

It brooks no denial that housebreaking is a paradigmatic criminal act. This is reflected in its ubiquitous presence as a substantive offence in all jurisdictions based on English “Common Law”, usually as “burglary” or “breaking and entering”. Moreover, the conduct associated with housebreaking is criminalized in civil law jurisdictions, usually as either an aggravated form of the crime of theft or a trespass offence. Given the consensus that the conduct associated with the housebreaking crime is deserving of criminalization, this leads as a matter of course to the issue of punishment – what factors ought to be taken into account in determining the sentence of the convicted housebreaker?
THE SEPARATION OF POWERS AND THE NON-DELEGATION DOCTRINE In re Constitutionality of the Mpumalanga Petitions Bills, 2000 2000 1 SA 447 (CC); 2001 11 BCLR 1126 (CC)
Authors: Andrew Christison  , Warren Freedman
Published: July 2023

The modern concept of separation of powers was first introduced by Charles Louis de Secondat, Baron de la Bréde et de Montesquieu (1689-1755), in his well-known work L’Esprit des Loix (1748). Since then this concept has developed into a doctrine made up of four basic principles, one of which is the principle of separation of functions (the other three being: the principle of trias politica; the principle of separation of personnel; and the principle of checks and balances – see Van der Vyver “Separation of Powers” 1995 SAPL 177).The principle of separation of functions – which provides that each branch of state may only exercise those powers which have been entrusted to it – gives rise to many complex issues. One of these is the extent to which the legislative branch may validly delegate lawmaking powers to another body or person. This issue has been considered by the Constitutional Court on a number of occasions, most recently in the case In re Constitutionality of the Mpumalanga Petitions Bill, 2000 (2002 1 SA 447 (CC); 2001 11 BCLR 1126 (CC)).This judgment is particularly interesting because it deals not only with the type of legislative power which may be validly delegated to another body or person – which was the focus in the Constitutional Court’s previous judgments on the issue – but also with the sorts of bodies or persons to whom legislative power may be validly delegated.Besides dealing with the sorts of bodies or persons to whom legislative power may validly be delegated, the judgment also clarifies a number of issues relating to the referral of a bill to the Constitutional Court by the president (or a provincial premier) in terms of section 79 (or s 121) of the Constitution.
THE INTERNATIONAL LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY OF A HOST STATE FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF FOREIGN INVESTMENT LOCATED IN ITS TERRITORY ICSID: Award, Individual Opinion and Declaration in American Manufacturing & Trading Incorporated v Republic of Zaire 36 ILM 1531 (19
Authors: John Baloro
Published: July 2023

In recent years on the international stage, it has become very common practice for developing countries, eager to attract the flow of private foreign direct investment capital into their economies, to conclude Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs) with the developed capital-exporting countries. Recent studies have estimated that, since the 1980s, well in excess of 900 such treaties have been concluded. This note examines the international rights and duties of the contracting parties to one such treaty which was concluded between the United States of America and the then Republic of Zaire, now known as the Democratic Republic of Zaire. It discusses the nature of the international legal responsibility which Zaire as a host state owes foreign nationals and their corporations which invest in her territory under both customary and conventional international law. It is firmly concluded that host states such as the Republic of Zaire clearly act in breach of their international legal responsibilities when they fail to put in place the necessary measures and environment for the protection and security of foreign nationals, their investments, and properties located in the territory of the host state. The note further states that in this area of public inter-national law, it is generally agreed that there is an international minimum standard which applies and a host state cannot rely on its own municipal law and practice which falls below the standard of international law.

Published: July 2023

La digitalización es una herramienta de desarrollo de destinos y productos turísticos. Esta tendencia adquiere relevancia en los últimos años por los nuevos procesos de comercialización y venta. Por un lado, los consumidores son un mercado cada vez más exigente y autónomo que busca información, rapidez y disponibilidad online en todo el proceso de toma de decisiones y disfrute del viaje. Por otro lado, empresas y destinos apuestan por líneas estratégicas de comercialización online con el objetivo de ampliar el mercado objetivo, automatizar los procesos y agilizar y facilitar la compra y venta. Además, la Covid-19 ha acelerado forzosamente este proceso de digitalización y los usuarios cada vez utilizan más las plataformas online en sus viajes. Dentro de este proceso comercial de digitalización, los proveedores de servicios turísticos deben apostar por la seguridad para garantizar un servicio bueno y de calidad. A través de un estudio del caso y un análisis clúster de las agencias de viajes en Extremadura, como destino rural, se realiza una aproximación de la seguridad web de las principales agencias de viajes, grupos de gestión y grupos comerciales. El objetivo principal es evaluar la capacidad real de comercialización de destinos rurales a través de plataformas online teniendo en cuenta la seguridad web para los usuarios. Los resultados muestran una tendencia a la centralización de la gestión web en grupos de gestión o entidades de gestión online para asegurar la privacidad en el proceso de compra.
La transmisión de la política monetaria al mercado inmobiliario español
Authors: TORRES GUTIERREZ JUAN JOSE
Published: July 2023

La estabilidad de los precios del mercado inmobiliario no entra de forma explícita dentro de los objetivos específicos del Banco Central Europeo, salvo por los efectos que las burbujas y sus estallidos puedan tener en la estabilidad financiera y en el índice de precios al consumo. Existe desacuerdo entre los economistas y las autoridades monetarias sobre si los instrumentos de la política monetaria deben utilizarse para prevenir la formación de burbujas en el mercado inmobiliario o si es la política supervisora y macroprudencial la adecuada para influir en este y otros mercados de activos. No obstante, aunque las autoridades monetarias no intervengan directamente en el mercado inmobiliario con la política monetaria, sus decisiones sobre tipos de interés y liquidez del sistema acaban afectando a los precios de la vivienda y a las transacciones realizadas a través de diferentes canales de transmisión. En este artículo se aborda un análisis empírico con un panel de datos del mercado inmobiliario español a nivel provincial, con series trimestrales desde 2004 hasta 2022, ambos incluidos, buscando evidencias de los efectos de las variables monetarias sobre los precios de la vivienda. Se aplican varios modelos sobre el mercado global, el mercado de vivienda nueva y el mercado de vivienda usada. Asimismo, se hace un análisis desagregado entre las provincias eminentemente turísticas y las no turísticas. Se encuentran evidencias empíricas, con elevada significatividad, de efectos de las variables monetarias (tipos de interés y liquidez) y de la regulación macroprudencial sobre el precio de la vivienda, con alguna excepción en el mercado de vivienda usada, que se mueve con una dinámica propia.

Published: July 2023

Brain decoding is an emerging approach for understanding the face perception mechanism in the human brain. Face visual stimuli and perception mechanism are considered as a challenging ongoing research of the neuroscience field. In this study, face/scrambled face visual stimulations were implemented over the sixteen participants to be decoded the face or scrambled face classification using machine learning (ML) algorithms via magnetoencephalography (MEG) signals. This noninvasive and high spatial/temporal resolution signal is a neurophysiological technique which measures the magnetic fields generated by the neuronal activity of the brain. The Riemannian approach was used as a highly promising feature extraction technique. Then Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) were employed as deep learning algorithms, Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and Quadratic Discriminant Analysis (QDA) were implemented as shallow algorithms. The improved classification performances are very encouraging, especially for deep learning algorithms. The LSTM and GRU have achieved 92.99% and 91.66% accuracy and 0.977 and 0.973 of the area under the curve (AUC) scores, respectively. Moreover, CNN has yielded 90.62% accuracy. As our best knowledge, the improved outcomes and the usage of the deep learning on the MEG dataset signals from 16 participants are critical to expand the literature of brain decoding after visual stimuli. And this study is the first attempt with these methods in systematic comparison. Moreover, MEG-based Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) approaches may also be implemented for Internet of Things (IoT) applications, including biometric authentication, thanks to the specific stimuli of individual’s brainwaves.
Wearable Thimble-like Device for the Objective Follow-up and Therapy of Multiple Sclerosis
Authors: HOCAOĞLU Elif
Published: July 2023

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease that affects more than 1 million people worldwide. Since there is no definitive treatment for the disease, the treatment plan for each patient should be updated regularly according to the current level of the disease. There are standard clinical tests, each with its own scoring scale, used to monitor the deterioration of upper and lower extremity functions of MS patients under the supervision of a neurologist and physiotherapist. However, non-objective scoring based on the opinion of the physiotherapist is open to erroneous assessments and may vary from person to person. In addition, clinical tests do not provide detailed information about the functional impairment of the patient. Unfortunately, an objective evaluation system has not yet been implemented all over the world, and the treatment plan is still determined according to the disease in neurological-based disabilities, such as MS, which is of vital importance. personal assessment. To address the aforementioned problem, the design and experimental evaluation of a wearable thimble-like device that can be substituted for the standard clinical tests to assess the follow-up of MS are presented. The device provides the measurement of high sensitivity and opportunity for objective assessment and allows patients of all ages to use it in any desired place during their treatment phase.

Due to migration and job-related mobility, the communicative effects of globalisation and multilingual societies have become the norm in Europe. Considering the need to respond to the diverse social groups on the educational level, the Council of Europe’s language policy goals are oriented toward plurilingual and pluricultural learner groups (Council of Europe, 2020). The purpose of this paper is to present a thematic literature analysis in order to establish the framework for the project titled «Insights from the CEFR: Multilingual Education and Assessment,» which received funding from the Volkswagen Foundation. The CEFR (Council of Europe 2001) and its Companion Volume (Council of Europe 2020) are cornerstones of this thematic literature analysis. This article aims to present our conceptual understanding of important terms, which will guide our future exploration. Additionally, it analyzes multilingualism in the Ukrainian context, taking into account its multilingual sociocultural realities and language education policy. The study examines the objectives of plurilingual education, with a specific focus on the Ukrainian context, and explores approaches that can be employed to incorporate plurilingual perspectives into language teaching. This progress report is intended to contribute to multilingual teacher education, making teachers aware of their learners’ linguistic resources and the approaches that promote (multi)plurilingualism.

The land conversion that is carried out will be very beneficial for the community, but unfortunately a lot of development is being carried out on catchment land that is not in accordance with existing regulations and does not pay attention to the capabilities of the land. If the development is not in accordance with the existing provisions regarding land conversion in catchment areas, then negative things such as annual flooding that occurs in the lower plains will have a negative impact on the community and also the government. Therefore, one of the efforts to raise public awareness about water catchment areas is to provide a basic understanding of water catchment areas, and also how to protect water catchment areas. Implementation of a social media campaign by uploading posts about water catchment areas is one of the intervention efforts that can be implemented by the community to protect the environment. Then the results of the social media campaign program are very effective because they can reach all levels of society who read them. So as to increase public understanding about water catchment areas and also move in preventing negative impacts from the conversion of water catchment areas.

Published: July 2023

Thermal comfort is related to the stability of the ambient temperature. Constant changes in ambient temperature appear as a situation that negatively affects comfort. The selected build-ing systems must be arranged to maintain this stability for the continuity of thermal comfort. In this study, issues affecting thermal comfort in water system underfloor heating applications of buildings are handled and analyzed using the Bayesian Network modeling methodology. Visual examples of the problems encountered in field applications are also given. Three dif-ferent scenarios are tested with the constructed Bayesian Network model. In the first scenario, assumed that mechanical project failures were prevented. In this case, it was observed that the failure rate decreased by about 5%. In the second scenario, assumed that mechanical applica-tion failures are prevented along with mechanical project failures. The failure rate decreased by 11% compared to the first situation. The third scenario assumed that the mechanical proj-ect preparation phase was concluded without any problems, the mechanical project was im-plemented without any failures, and the mechanical system was commissioned without any problems. In the last scenario, the failure rate decreased by 14% compared to the first case, and the probability of not providing thermal comfort remained at 2%. As a result of these three scenarios, the possibility of not providing thermal comfort in the underfloor heating system is detailed and interpreted.

Indian forensic pharmacovigilance: status quo
Authors: Venati Laavanya , Vora Amisha
Published: July 2023

To give the judicial system relevant information, forensic science collects, examines, and applies scientific data. Pharmacy fills a forensic niche. The majority of pharmacists moonlight or work in forensics part-time in their day jobs. A person with expertise in pharmacology has professional knowledge and practical experience in the fields of therapeutics, pharmacokinetics, and toxicology in addition to having been exposed to areas like forensic medicine during medical school. All of these knowledge areas can be used in forensic scenarios and serve as an interface. A forensic pharmacologist's training and experience can be beneficial in a wide range of legal issues. The development and integration of forensic pharmacologists in the Indian legal system are urgently required due to the country's rising frequency of criminal and civil cases. A substantial technological improvement in pharmacology research has allowed it to broaden its use beyond the field of medicines, allowing Indian pharmacologists to study the specialized field of forensic pharmacology.

The many facets of forensic pharmacology include the different pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs in living and dead people, drug interactions, drug abuse, personal injury or death brought on by drug exposure resulting in medico-legal issues, environmental chemical exposure, doping, and forensic pharmacovigilance. Forensic pharmacologists have shown to be invaluable assets in a variety of criminal and civil cases across various nations. They use their pharmacological expertise in civil and legal matters, such as settling disputes, the drug approval process, and the criminal justice system. The role of thorough investigation in determining the cause of death in crime scenes with positive drug screens has been demonstrated via several research papers and case studies. Even the general public is aware of the importance of forensic sciences in the legal system of justice.
La prensa como prescriptora de lecturas
Authors: García-Cardona Juan , García-Borrego Manuel
Published: July 2023

Esta investigación se propone estudiar las recomendaciones literarias de la prensa cultural especializada, prescriptora de contenidos y responsable de marcar la agenda cultural. Se tomaron como objeto de estudio las listas de mejores libros que confeccionan a finales de cada año los principales suplementos culturales de los medios escritos españoles (ABC Cultural, de ABC; Babelia, de El País; El Cultural, de El Mundo, y Cultura|s, de La Vanguardia). El periodo de análisis se fijó entre los años 2010 y 2021 (n = 1.286). Los resultados reflejan una marcada preferencia de los suplementos por incluir autores de nacionalidad española o, cuando menos, por obras escritas en español, aunque la pujanza de los Estados Unidos y el inglés es cada vez mayor en la serie histórica. Se aprecia también un claro dominio de los grandes sellos y grupos editoriales sobre los independientes: en los últimos años, solo Planeta y Penguin Random House aportan casi la mitad de las obras seleccionadas. Además, son mayoría los autores de edad avanzada —se recomiendan, de hecho, más libros de fallecidos que de menores de 40 años—, con las limitaciones que ello implica a la proyección de la literatura escrita por jóvenes.

AIM: To determine the effects of change in light conditions on refractive error and visual functions including visual acuity, stereopsis and contrast sensitivity.
METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the optometry clinic of the Shahid Beheshti School of Rehabilitation on 48 students in 2021-2022. All of them had eye health and normal visual function and could have refractive errors or not. Light intensity of 4 lx was considered equivalent to photopic light condition and light intensity of 1 lx was considered to be equivalent to mesopic light condition. The amount of refractive error was checked by auto refractometer and its changes in mesopic light condition were subjectively measured. Also, visual acuity, stereopsis and contrast sensitivity (in five spatial frequencies of 1.5, 3, 6, 12, and 18 cycles per degree), were measured first in photopic light condition and then in mesopic light condition, by Snellen control vision chart, stereo butterfly test and the M&S technology monitor test respectively.
RESULTS: In the 48 student subjects with an average age of 22.69±3.56y, mean of refractive error as sphere equivalent, visual acuity and stereopsis were -1.25±1.74 diopters, 0 logMAR, 44.37±13.03 seconds of arc, respectively in photopic light condition while in mesopic light was equal to -1.56±1.75 diopters, 0.12±0.09 logMAR and 50.62±33.35 seconds of arc, respectively. The mean of contrast sensitivity measured at spatial frequencies of 1.5, 3, 6, 12, and 18 cycles per degree in photopic condition was equal to 2.38±0.04, 2.37±0.07, 2.04±0.21, 1.27±0.32, 0.82±0.27 logarithm of contrast sensitivity, respectively and in mesopic lighting condition was equal to 2.34±0.12, 2.30±0.16, 1.84±0.28, 1.02±0.28, 0.63±0.24 logarithm of contrast sensitivity, respectively. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference between the two lighting conditions in all evaluated variables [refractive error (P<0.001), visual acuity (P<0.001), stereopsis (P=0.008) and contrast sensitivity (P<0.001)].
CONCLUSION: The refractive error of the student subjects in mesopic light condition change towards myopia, and its amount is clinically significant. Also, the examination and comparison of the factors of visual acuity, stereopsis and contrast sensitivity in these two lighting conditions show that the decrease in brightness level to the mesopic level causes a decrease in the aforementioned visual functions.
КОНЦЕПТ І КОНЦЕПТУАЛІЗАЦІЯ: МЕТОДОЛОГІЯ ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ КУЛЬТУРИ Й РЕЛІГІЇ
Authors: Конотоп Людмила
Published: July 2023

Стаття присвячена філософському осмисленню співвідношення культури і релігії, їхній взаємодії в сучасномусвіті. Методологія дослідження взаємовідносин культури і релігії передбачає чіткі дефініції концептуалізації й концепту. Всучасному українському релігієзнавстві відсутні методологічні підходи щодо дослідження релігії, особливостей їїфункціонування в соціумі. Виявлені базові ціннісні положення щодо культури в її історичному русі, а також розмаїттяфілософських і релігійних пошуків на різних етапах становлення людства. Концептуалізація являє собою процесінтелектуального кодування ідей, у яких висвітлюється смисл розуміння культури в конкретній мовній сфері. Концепт єрезультатом індивідуального і колективного пізнання. Концепт містить у собі, по-перше, смисли, які є приналежними дореальності, а по-друге, він відкриває можливості для пошуку та інтерпретації цих смислів. У такому плані неможливонадати концепту якогось універсального визначення. Концепт є таким, який усвідомлюється іншою людиною, якщо таідея, що міститься в концепті, співвідноситься з досвідом конкретної людини.Висновком є те, що в ХХІ ст. будь-які«осучаснення» християнства призводять до домінування нетрадиційних релігійних течій і рухів.

The role of philosophy as a theoretical center of the ideology is underlined in the article. The participationof philosophical ideas in the formation of historical conceptions and categorical mechanisms of historical science, in theevolution of historical concepts, in the development of the methods of the perception of the past and the subject field of theresearch is discussed in the article. The authors underline the specific features of historical perception, the importance of microideaswhich show the unique nature of social phenomena of the past for it. The change in the system of concepts of historicalscience in connection with the change of philosophical conceptions as well as historical approaches (social history, "Annals"school, new social history) is shown in the article.
SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION IN THE CONDITIONS OF SHARPENING OF CONTRADICTION BETWEEN ARTIFICIAL AND NATURAL
Authors: Abysova Maria
Published: July 2023

Анотація. The article is devoted to the analysis of socially responsible consumption as a type of social responsibility, caused by the rapid growth of the technosphere, i.e. the integration of technology into society and culture. The concept of "technosphere" reflects the property of technology remaining in the form of local controlled objects creating an integrated environment. The current state of technogenic civilization can be called a crisis due to the displacement of the natural by the artificial. A technized society, as a quasinatural formation, perceives the standards of technical activity as a natural horizon for the development of events. A socially responsible consumption policy, opposed to the actions of commercial corporations pursuing financial and economic goals at the expense of public welfare, in particular in matters of environmental protection, and social stratification, declares itself as a form of civil and political action.

У статті здійснюється аналіз й обґрунтування аксіологічних засад екологічної свідомості як засадничогой визначального складника екологічної культури особистості і суспільства, уточнюється поняття «екологічнасвідомість». Проаналізовано ті цінності-концепти, які в сучасних умовах буття постіндустріального суспільствавиходять на перший план і мають сприяти формуванню сучасної екологічної культури людини глобалізованого світу,виконувати організуючу функцію у систематизації знань, навичок, цілей людської діяльності в реальному процесігармонізації відносин «людина - природа - суспільство».
МІЛІТАРНИЙ АСПЕКТ ОРГАНІЗАЦІЇ СОЦІАЛЬНО-ЕКОНОМІЧНИХ СТРУКТУР В УМОВАХ МЕРЕЖЕВОЇ КОМУНІКАЦІЇ
Authors: Носач Богдан
Published: July 2023

У статті здійснюється спроба проаналізувати мілітарний аспект соціально-економічних умовколективної взаємодії як чинника запобігання ескалації збройних конфліктів сучасності. Доводиться, що воєннасфера діяльності безпосередньо використовує інтелектуальні здобутки всіх цивільних науково-технологічнихрозробок, тому і формування військового кадрового забезпечення «інтелектуальним воїном» набуває сьогодніхарактер невідкладного завдання. Стверджується, що глобальний світ має соціально-системний характермережевої комунікації, тому зафіксованим положенням є обмежений характер матеріальних і природних ресурсів заякі можна воювати, але не бажано знищувати. Зазначену кардинальну суперечність можна вирішувати виключно утаких соціокультурних контекстах, як наука, освіта, мистецтво тощо, які допоможуть змінити світову трагедіюзнищення життєвого простору кожної конкретної людини та суспільства загалом.
РЕЛІГІЙНІ КОМУНІКАЦІЇ І ЕКОЛОГІЧНА ВІДПОВІДАЛЬНІСТЬ СУЧАСНОЇ ЛЮДИНИ
Authors: Скиба Оксана
Published: July 2023

У статті йдеться про те, що в останні десятиліття в усьому світі зростає інтерес суспільства допроблем охорони природи та раціонального використання природних ресурсів, збереження екологічної рівноваги.Тривалий час людина намагалася саме підкорити природу, демонструвала споживацьке ставлення до природи ірозраховувала побудувати ідеальне суспільство за допомогою наукового знання. Певний вплив на формуваннятакого підходу здійснила і релігія. Хибність такого погляду людина почала усвідомлювати не так давно, лише напочатку ХХ століття. І знову актуальними стають питання про місце людини у природі, про зміну ставлення доприроди, що допоможе зберегти для майбутніх поколінь природні багатства нашої планети. На зміну цінніснихорієнтирів у ставленні до природи впливає і релігія, але сама ситуація зміниться на краще, якщо нові цінностістануть надбанням широких верств населення, частиною їхньої екологічної свідомості.
ДОЛЯ ІДЕЇ ПРОГРЕСУ В ЦИФРОВУ ЕПОХУ
Authors: Сухова Надія
Published: July 2023

У статті досліджуються умови та рушійні сили процесу адаптації людства до нових викликів ХХІ ст.Показано, як людство опинилося перед вибором нових шляхів свого розвитку, серед яких є й шлях втратилюдяності, прав і свобод тощо. Наголошено, що проблеми екології стосуються, перш за все, душі людини, оскількиставлення людини до природи вибудовується на підвалинах її світогляду. Людина змінює навколишнє середовищесаме через зміну цінностей свого внутрішнього світу, через позбавлення від шкідливих ілюзій. Однією з таких є ілюзіяпрогресу, що сприяла появі ідеї створення «комп’ютерного раю» на Землі за допомогою штучного інтелекту танано-технологій. Поява «масової людини» в епоху цифровізації є результатом формування нових умов для життялюдини. Разом із тим, людський досвід останніх років показав, що в умовах світової економічної кризи стрімкозростають випадки екологічних та техногенних катастроф, різко змінюються кліматичні умови на планеті. Все цепримушує нас замислитися над результатами людської діяльності та усвідомити неминучість відповідальності засвій вибір і прийняті рішення.
СОЦІАЛЬНА ВІДПОВІДАЛЬНІСТЬ В УМОВАХ ГЛОБАЛЬНОЇ ЕКОЛОГІЧНОЇ КРИЗИ
Authors: Ченбай Наталія
Published: July 2023

У статті досліджується феномен соціальної відповідальності на всіх її рівнях в умовах загостренняглобальної екологічної кризи. Показано, що глибинні причини її появи пов′язані з кризою духовності людства, яка йпородила безвідповідальне і споживацьке ставлення людства до біосфери. Виявлено, що осмислення кола проблем,пов′язаних із складною екологічною ситуацією в світі, та пошук дієвих шляхів в напряму їх вирішення вимагаєдокладання сумарних зусиль як представників різних галузей науки, так і філософів задля розробки спільної стратегіївиживання людства.
