Sexuality, Secrecy—and Sewing with Mum
Authors: Newton Marc
Published: October 2024

This article explores the author’s experience of navigating relational ethics. It details the aftermath of a reflexive discussion with the author’s parents, which focused on autoethnographic episodes about family experience, within a wider autoethnographic exploration of the author’s experience as a trainee counselor. The work, which had originally examined what it feels like for counselors to disclose erotic countertransference within clinical supervision, grew to encompass the author’s parallel experiences of (dis)honesty around sexuality, specifically regarding disclosures to the author’s parents and church: his original “moral supervisors.” As he and his mother spend time together sewing, recovering from the previous reflexive conversation and looking ahead to the next, the author considers the emotional impact of sharing an autoethnography with intimate others who are alive. Through evocative autoethnography, the article aims to use narrative analysis (as opposed to analysis of narrative) to capture an embodied and emotional response to the sharing of an autoethnography. It asks: what is it like to be honest?
Fracturing a Female Identity
Authors: Tharp Staci L.
Published: October 2024

As a white woman raised in a rural community in a heteropatriarchal, evangelical Christian family whose tradition is hard work and family values, the author lived within the boundaries of those archetypal, stereotypical roles until tragedy struck, shaking the foundation of her self-concept as mother, wife, woman. This crisis invited a deterritorialization of self-concepts that imprisoned her, exposing her gendered existence, which she chronicled in journals over the period of this reimagining of self. Reflection on this personal writing reveals its role in developing not only the identity of a writer but the identity of a woman in the shattering and reimagining of facets of her “self” when a spouse’s moral undoing threatens her sense of being. In this autoethnographic study, the author’s Deleuzian approach to reflecting on identity through journal dipping into her own writing in a time of trauma and self-examination explores the possibilities for applying hermeneutics to personal texts to free the potential for rhizomatic expansion of feminine becoming born when the cultural expectations of feminine being in the United States South are fractured.
An improved DCGAN-Based recognition enhancement method for American Hyphantria cunea larvae net curtain image dataset
Authors: Teng Shaomin , Wang Chengming , Shang Shunyi , Tuo Yuxuan , Wang Decheng
Published: October 2024

The fall webworm (Hyphantria cunea) poses a significant threat to agriculture, as its larvae feed on leaves and form silken webs, which can severely impact plant growth. However, the lack of specific image datasets for the larvae’s webs hinders the use of image recognition technologies in pest prevention and control. To address this issue, an enhancement method is proposed here based on an improved Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Network (DCGAN). This method generates a diverse set of high-quality web images, significantly expanding the existing dataset. Experimental results demonstrated that this enhanced dataset improved the robustness of recognition networks, enabling better automatic identification and precision spraying to control Hyphantria cunea. This approach not only advances automated pest monitoring in agriculture but also offers new possibilities for applying similar technologies to the identification of other plant pests.

The break between Lithuanian prehistory and history: a problematical analysis
Authors: Kuncevičius Albinas , Luchtanas Aleksiejus
Published: October 2024

In the broad sense, prehistory and history are two major and complementary components of a unified approach to historical research.
Current Lithuanian archaeological periodization, especially the second half of the first millennium after Christ and into the beginning of the second millennium, does not reflect the dynamic process of prehistory.
The major break in Lithuanian social and economic development, which is clearly indicated in the archaeological material culture, took place not in the 9th century, as stated in the traditional literature, but at the end of the 10th century and through the 11th century. This was the eve of the formation of the feudal Lithuanian state. Archaeological and historical sources allow us to follow common historical processes, and this should reflect the periodization of prehistory.
Historiography in Vilnius University from 1803 to 1832: between education and romanticizm
Authors: Jučas Mečislovas
Published: October 2024

Professor Joachim Lelevel worked at Vilnius University between 1815-1818 and 1821-1823. He lectured a course on universal history, that was printed (Wyklad historii powszechnej. t. 1-5). He followed the contemporary French and German historians Antoin Perrando, Lenglet de Fresnoy, Bartold Georg Niebuhr, and Arnold Heeren, but he was also very original, too. In Vilnius he created an understanding of the historical science of the Enlightenment. It was based on the philosophy of the Enlightenment and historical documents. The aspiration of humankind for perfection and solidarity was declared an object of historical science. He saw the progress of humankind in education, as man's ethics and power was dependent upon it. He considered the human mind as the main criteria of truth. He thought that each nation had a specific "soul of the nation," but it was different, depending on the epoch, therefore, history is not to be mechanically divided using dynasties, but into epochs where the previous "soul of the nation" changes, vanishes, and the new "soul of the nation" appears. One has to look after it in the statute, politics, social system, and habits of the people. J. Lelevel pointed out the steps of the evolution of different nations and the variability of their lives. He explained it according to different climates, traditions, and ways of lives of the nations. The full release of creative potentials is possible only with political freedom and freedom of mind. Despotism and slavery limits the progress of society while democracy stimulates it. He formulated an ideology of democracy in the beginning of the XIXth century and looked for it in history. J. Lelevel divided universal history into the following epochs: Ancient Orient, Roman and Greek, and the Middle Ages (VI-XV). He stressed Christianization and feudalization (of different Western and Eastern models), and, in the New Ages (XVI-XIX century), absolutism and revolutions. He compared patterns of national histories. For the first time, the course of universal history included the history of Poland and Lithuania with one work, Dzieje Litwy i Rusi, dedicated to the latter. He collected documented materials of Lithuanian history, and they were published under the name of T. Dzialinski, Zbior prav litevskich.
Romantic balticphilia in Latvian istoriography
Authors: Butkus Zenonas
Published: October 2024

In this article it is shown that romantic Balticphilia (a historical, cultural concept of the authors who treat the past of the Balts, the first Paganism, as a separate, civilized, closed system, putting it in opposition to Western, Christian culture) takes root in Lithuanian historiography and doesn't induce its modernity, nor its overthrowing of historicism; it only weakly influences Latvian historiography.
Balticphilic works are clearly not plenty. They don't even make up a separate historiographical section. Latvians haven't had such a phenomenon as Daukantas who had, for a long time, traced the direction of foundational, historical thought. The very first Latvian nationalist, G. Merkelis, was not a romantic, but he supported the ideals of the Enlightenment. Many of the Latvian Renaissance men were only slightly interested in history, and they, therefore, drew their attention to the research of culture and art. The most notable XIX century Latvian historian, Janis Krodznieks, was not a romantic, but a critic.
Protestant ethics and the critical German historiographical influence encouraged the critical debates of the Latvian historians. Between the First and Second World Wars, Balticphilic idealization of the past was almost unprecedented, because Latvia didn't have international territorial problems. History, as well, didn't play such a big part in the revival of society nor such an educational role, as it did in Lithuania.
Balticphilic phenomena in Latvian historiography are, however, precedented. A number of Latvian historians, treating Livonia like a German state, idealized the Lithuanian Grand Duchy, indicating that it was not solely Lithuanian, but Latvian too; a pure state of the Balts. In 1858, J. Alunanas published a rather abstract Lithuanian historical work that covered the space of time up until the Battle of Zalgiris, and, in 1885, F. Veinberas published a joint Latvian and Lithuanian history, up until Lithuania's unionization with Poland. In these works, Lithuanian princes were extolled, while the reception of Christianity was valued as the largest misfortune.
The most distinct Balticphilic phenomenon in Latvian historiography is the demonstration that, until the German arrival at the end of the XII century and the beginning of the XIII century, Latvians didn't have a real, fully-worthy state system. Kuoknese and Jersika were real states, but they were divided, not united.
Of the most solid, most valuable Latvian historical Balticphilic texts, A. Svalis' are the most distinguished: „True Latvian History," „Latvian History" (a course manual), and „Latvian Cultural History" (two volumes).
On the fundamental social changes in Lithuania in the 19th and 20th centuries
Authors: Vyšniauskas Arūnas
Published: October 2024

The article deals with the main turning-points in the social history of Lithuania in the past two centuries. These social changes were determined by fundamental political changes in the system that were due to a new political geography in the Baltics and Eastern Europe. Russian and Soviet reforms had their effect on Lithuanian social history, as Russia determined the social development of conquered Lithuania. The spheres of influence from Russia, Poland, and Germany met in Lithuania. France, above all Napoleon, had had its influence on the social order; therefore, the study of the historical process in Lithuania can supply models of explanation for the historical process in general. The main interest lies not so much on the finding of patterns in which the autonomous systems develop, but rather on the interaction of the different social, political, and economic structures of religions, languages, and cultures.
The formation of periodization and the conception of Lithuanian history from 1940-1990 in emigrant historians' works
Authors: Jakubčionis Algirdas
Published: October 2024

The beginning of the formation of new conceptions and the beginning of periodization of Lithuanian history was in 1987. Lithuanian emigrant historians were the main influences of this process. The first ideas of new periodization were formulated by the historian Z. Ivinskis. In his publications, and in the works of other historians, M. Budreckis, Th. Remeikis, R. Misiūnas, and S. Suziedelis, the periodization of Lithuanian history from 1940-1990 was created. The first period, 1940-1941, was named as the period of Soviet occupation (15 June 1940 and the annexation on 3 August 1940). The essence of this period is the Sovietization of Lithuania and the genocide of the Lithuanian people. The second period, 1941-1944, was named as the period of Nazi occupation. During these years, the Lithuanian emigrant historians emphasized anti-Nazi resistance in the Lithuanian nation. The third period, 1944-1953, was the time of the second Soviet occupation or reoccupation. Guerilla movements were the main feature of this period. From the years of postwar Stalinism to 1956, the period of re-emergence of national culture (R. Misiūnas) or of the maintenance of national identity began (Th. Remeikis). This period came to an end in 1968. The main feature of the next period was the passive anti-Soviet movement and the Lithuania Catholic Church's struggle for religious rights. The last period of modern Lithuanian history started in 1988, and it was named as the period of the Lithuanian Awakening.

„An der Themse wächst man sich anders aus als am Stechlin“. Theodor Fontane und England
Authors: Eder Jürgen
Published: October 2024

What has become a recognised component of German studies today in various varieties and theoretical concepts of “intercultural literature” is not as “new” as people often like to pretend. Goethe’s concept of “world literature” and Heine’s Franco-German writings are still without the theoretical concept, but in practice they are already in many ways what constitutes intercultural literature today. One author who has not yet received much attention in this respect is Theodor Fontane with his travelogues from England and Scotland, in which he attempts to convey to Germans images of a nation whose image was not exactly the best.

Searching for the optimum Pt loading in bimetallic PtXNi/SBA-15 catalysts for hydrodeoxygenation
Authors: Pérez-Estrada Daniel E. , Suárez-Méndez Alejandro , Betancourt-Aldana Monica , Molina-Conde Luis H. , González-Zavala Fernando , Huerta Lázaro , Bokhimi Xim , Klimova Tatiana E.
Published: October 2024

Bimetallic PtXNi5/SBA-15 catalysts with 5 wt% Ni and X = 0.1–2.0 wt% Pt were synthesized and characterized. The XPS characterization of bimetallic catalysts showed the presence of oxide Ni2+, Pt2+ and reduced Pt0 species in the calcined catalysts. After the reduction, metallic Ni0 appeared in addition to the above-mentioned species. The proportions of the reduced Ni and Pt increased with increasing Pt content in the catalysts. The presence of metal species of different oxidation states at the Ni–Pt interface was crucial for their catalytic performance in the hydrodeoxygenation of anisole. The Pt0.5Ni5/SBA-15 catalyst was the most active and selective.

Identifying non-cooperative participation in web-based elicitation of acceptability judgments
Authors: Pieper Jutta , Börner Alicia Katharina , Kiss Tibor
Published: October 2024

In this paper, we discuss different sources of noise or other detrimental effects in the elicitation of experimental data. These effects may emerge due to the loss of control in unsupervised web-based elicitation, be task-related, or emerge due to questionnaire designs that lack sufficient means to identify inapt participants. We describe a stepwise process to reach elicited data at the highest attainable level in web-based Acceptability Judgment Tasks (AJTs). In the first step, the questionnaire design, we focus especially on a careful construction of appropriate filler and control items and introduce an alternative to instructional manipulation checks appropriate for AJTs, namely attention items. The second step is to choose the right platform to elicit experimental data from. Lastly, we will show how to employ latency- and response-based methods – analyses of response times as well as of responses to the specialized items – to reliably detect inapt participants.
Finite-difference time-domain simulation of THz light pulse with orbital angular momentum produced using a spiral phase plate
Authors: Alaba Kenneth Jay , Bardolaza Hannah , Hermosa Nathaniel , Estacio Elmer
Published: October 2024

A silicon spiral phase plate (SPP) was proposed for a pulsed terahertz signal to produce orbital angular momentum with a topological charge of $l=1$. The resulting field distribution after the signal passes through the SPP was simulated using finite-difference time-domain method and observed at different propagation distances. It shows that the helical spatial structure and optical vortex were best observed at the farthest distance of 7.5 cm. Additionally, the cross-section field distribution at different times as the signal passes through the SPP indicates a helical wavefront structure. Moreover, the output of a source with different central frequencies was observed when using the same SPP and showed a hollow distribution indicating a vortex despite not being located in the center.
THERMAL REGIME OF THE UPPER LANDSCAPE BELTS IN THE NORTH OF THE PRIMORSKY RIDGE (PRIBAIKALYE) IN 2021-2022
Authors:   V.B. Sochava Institute of Geography SB RAS, Bibaeva Anna Yu.
Published: October 2024

Monitoring of the thermal regime of the atmospheric surface layer in the conditions of the mountainous relief ofthe Baikal region has been a relevant issue for many years. In 2015, catastrophic fires occurred in the Western Pribaikalye. As a result, the native vegetation was strongly disturbed, its environment-forming and environment-protective functions changed or weakened significantly. In 2021, monitoring of the thermal regime of the upper landscape belts of the Primorsky Ridge was organized in order to study the restoration dynamics of the geosystems against the background of climatic changes. The observation period covered 2021-2022. Monitoring sites were organized in the podgoltsovyi (1280 m ASL) and mountain taiga (1040 m ASL) belts of the southeastern macroslope of the Primorsky Ridge. The thermal regime of the surface air layer was monitored using autonomous temperature recorders Thermochron iButton DS1925L-F5 installed at a height of 2 m. The temperature was recorded eight times a day synchronously with the measurements of meteorological network stations. There were obtained comparative data on the temperature dynamics of the podgoltsovyi and mountain taiga belts in the north of the Primorsky Ridge, including areas subjected to pyrogenic effects. The sums of positive and active temperatures, the duration of the vegetation and cold periods were determined; the annual variability and the seasonal daily dynamics of the atmospheric surface layer temperature were analyzed; the influence of the terrain height and the type of vegetation cover on the thermal regime of high-altitude belts was established. The study revealed the features of the thermal regime of pyrogenic impact areas in the mountain taiga belt, which are caused by a change in the reflectivity of the underlying surface due to destruction of the vegetation cover. Further studies will make it possible to identify the duration of the post-pyrogenic recovery of microclimatic parameters to background values for different topogeosystems in the northern part of the Primorsky Ridge. The obtained data, together with the materials of field physical-geographical studies, can be used as a scientific basis for planning economic activities (including environmental protection) in areas with special conditions of natural resource management.

Published: October 2024

The starting point for this study is the negative consequences of the ever-increasing availability of leisure time. For the first time in human history, time spent on leisure takes precedence over labor. The study aims to demonstrate the possibilities of involving people in science tourism as the most useful type of recreation. Citizen science, developing on the basis of the Internet and tourism, and the nature’s beauty, which is one of the most important resources of the geographical environment, form the basis of tourism geography.It is defined as the science of educational, health-improving, and value-aesthetic (axiological) resources of the geographicalenvironment. We consider the relationships of this science with physical and economic geography. The study also defines the concept of geotourism, the methodology of which is based on tourism geography. We distinguish between eco-tourism and geo-tourism, both considered as part of science tourism. The role of geological aesthetics is explored among the key objects of geotourism. Geotourism is seen as one of the most areas for the development of tourist-recreational services. Russia’s geological sites are argued to have a significant untapped potential and could boost the network of geoparks (which is being created after the UNESCO Global Geoparks). We further define the significance of beautiful sceneries in the studies of local history, health services, and geo-tourism. Overall, the present study is one of the first attempts to explore geotourism systematically, as one of the tools for the integration of Earth sciences with society. The study could be used for the establishment of the theory of geo-heritage and for the training of students in geology, geography, geomorphology, landscape and tourism studies.
MODERN RELIEF-FORMING PROCESSES IN THE VOLGA DELTA LANDSCAPE (A CASE STUDY OF A GROUP OF KNOLL TRACTS)

Modern relief-forming processes, especially exogenous, are always associated with the landscape features of theregion where they are observed. Anthropogenic impact on geosystems of different ranks often contributes to these processes. Emerging landforms often result from the interaction of a number of factors. The article presents the results of studies of negative landforms, mainly in the form of dips, fissures, and trenches, which in recent years began to form in the vicinity of the Baer knolls and their surrounding geosystems, located within the central subregion of the Volga Delta landscape. The paper provides their morphological and morphometric parameters. Both natural prerequisites and anthropogenic factors of the occurrence of these landforms are considered. Natural peculiarities of the studied Volga Delta landscape subregion include the presence of ridges on the horizontal and subhorizontal surface, called Baer knolls in the scientific literature, which contributes to the occurrence of temporary surface runoff. Another factor of natural genesis is the presence in the studied group of tracts of the so-called ‘chocolate’ clays of Khvalynsky age, usually deposited on a complex of granulometrically heterogeneous rocks. To some extent, climatic fluctuations recorded in the study area contributed to the emergence of the landforms. Anthropogenic preconditions include significant changes in natural relief during the economic use of the Volga Delta landscape. As a working hypothesis, another reason for the emergence of the studied landforms is seen in a decrease in the ground water level due to the reduced volume and duration of spring floods in the lower Volga. Based on the obtained results and taking into account the absence of karst substrate in the Volga Delta and a short period of formation, the genetic type of the formed relief is defined as anthropogenic pseudokarst
ASSESSMENT OF THE UNEVEN SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF LITHUANIA IN 2004-2019
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Zinovyev Andrey S. , Stupin Yurii A. ,   St. Petersburg State University
Published: October 2024

The unevenness of socio-economic development is an objective property of space. For the post-socialist countries of Central and Eastern Europe, this issue is of particular relevance, including in the context of the imposition of EU institutions on spatial structures formed during the period of central planning. The paper analyzes a number of socio-economic indicators for 60 Lithuanian municipalities from 2004 to 2019. In order to identify key trends in the unevenness of spatial development, the standard deviation of the selected indicators from the national average was calculated, with the results further categorized into five groups: exceeding by more than 60% and by 20-60%, lower by more than 60% and by 20-60%, and the closest to the average from -20 to 20%. The periphery was considered to include those territories where the indicator values were below the national average by more than 60%, by 20-60%, and also those closest to the average from -20 to 20%. The semi-periphery comprised municipalities with indicators above the national average by 20-60%, while the core – by more than 60%. The dynamics of the studied processes are volatile in nature, which is associated with the new institutional design of the functioning of the state after joining the EU and with the external environment. The territorial structure of socio-economic processes in Lithuania is extremely polarized. The country's largest agglomerations (Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipeda) and the seaside resort area (Palanga, Neringa) stand out as centers of population and investment attraction. Almost all the rest of the country is a periphery, but rather motley. The degree of peripherization of municipalities depends on the geographical location relative to the main centers, the degree of preservation of and market demand for the Soviet industrial heritage, and the natural and recreational potential. Only 18% of Lithuanian municipalities are characterized by a certain stability or improvement in performance, while 80% of them are subject to varying degrees of peripheralization, especially municipalities along the entire border perimeter.
APPLICATION OF MULTI-LAYER PARAMETERIZATION OF URBAN LANDSCAPES IN WRF-ARW REGIONAL MODEL TO CREATE A DATABASE ON THE CLIMATE OF A MEGACITY AND ITS SUBURBS: FIRST RESULTS FOR THE MOSCOW REGION

Published: October 2024

The current development level of urban meteorology as a synthetic science that includes elements of climatology,ecology, urban studies, and computational mathematics requires the creation of adequate databases of meteorological parameters:only in this way can they be properly used for solving problems of both applied sciences and fundamental research.Therefore, obtaining information on the intra-urban distribution of air temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed mustmeet the most stringent quality criteria. The most modern method for obtaining high-resolution databases is hydrodynamic modeling with the use of regional weather and climate forecast models (WRF, COSMO_RU, ENVIRO-HIRLAM, etc.).However, for horizontal resolution of about a kilometer it is already necessary to use so-called multilevel parameterizationsof the urban surface layer of the atmosphere, which take into account the vertical structure within the urban area. For this purpose, it seems promising to adapt the most modern physically based parameterizations of the lower atmosphere, such as Building EnergyParameterization (BEP) and Building Energy Model (BEM), for the popular, freely distributed regional model WRF-ARW, whichhas been used in our study for the Moscow region (Moscow + Moscow Oblast). The article reviews the advantages of this approachand the results of the first computational experiments. We provide estimates of the accuracy of temperature and relative humiditysimulation for a full-fledged experiment on dynamic downscaling of ERA5 reanalysis data within the Moscow region for 2010 (as aperiod with notable seasonal temperature contrasts, including the infamous extreme heat wave over European Russia).

Multilingual integrated pedagogical model for enhancing mathematical literacy in South Africa
Authors: Mulaudzi Lebohang Victoria
Published: October 2024

In this conceptual paper, I propose a groundbreaking Multilingual Integrated Pedagogical Model designed to address the intricate challenges of teaching mathematical literacy in South Africa's diverse linguistic context. Drawing from theories of multilingual education, cognitive development, and effective pedagogy, the model emphasises leveraging students' linguistic diversity as a cognitive asset. It outlines a comprehensive approach encompassing curriculum design, dynamic instructional strategies, culturally relevant assessments, and targeted teacher training. By integrating students' native languages and embracing their cultural backgrounds, the model aims to foster deeper engagement, improved comprehension, and enhanced mathematical literacy. Here, I discuss the model's theoretical foundations, development process, and potential benefits, envision its transformative impact on mathematical education in South Africa and offer insights into adaptability for similar multilingual settings globally. Through this innovative model, the aspiration is to bridge the gap between language diversity and effective mathematical communication, ultimately nurturing a generation of empowered learners.
Decolonisation of education through citizen science: Slow science, not slow violence. The case study Diamonds on the Soles of Their Feet
Authors: Goldin Jacqueline , Suransky Carolina
Published: October 2024

Citizen science projects are vulnerable to top-down directivity, and driven by assumptions of one-directional ambitions with regard to capacity building and knowledge production. Through the story of Ruth, we discuss how deep-seated legacies of inequality influence the politics of knowledge and explore what we, involved in citizen science projects, could learn from the politics of knowledge as it emerges from decolonisation struggles-particularly as manifested within the academy. Most universities are orientated around Western knowledge regimes that mute many other ways of knowing and ordering the world. Significant inroads have been made when writing on decolonising education but less is known about the effects of the colonisation of state institutions and the disturbances, interferences, and disruptions to organising, sharing, and creating knowledge in public spheres outside of these same universities. These disturbances affect the personal and collective histories of people so that when they are part of research linked to the university, their everyday lives become enmeshed with institutional hegemonies. Research is not dissociated from its deeply entrenched colonial roots. If decolonisation means going deeper into the legitimacy of knowledge and who and how this is being defined, then this must include the process of producing that knowledge outside the bastions of power.

O CONCEITO DE ALTERIDADE SEGUNDO EMMANUEL LÉVINAS
Authors: Aguiar Leal Campos Raphael , Ribeiro Costa da Cunha Ferreira Raquel , Vianna Ferreira Arthur
Published: October 2024

A partir do século XX, as experiências de regimes totalitários e de movimentos sociais mobilizaram o debate sobre a alteridade (relação eu-outro). Além disso, atualmente vivemos em uma sociedade que valoriza principalmente a autoimagem em detrimento da convivência com as diferenças humanas. Considerando esse cenário, recorre-se às ideias do filósofo de origem franco-lituana Emmanuel Lévinas (1906-1995), um dos principais filósofos contemporâneos a abordar o tema da alteridade. No entanto, mesmo os comentaristas favoráveis a esse autor consideram difícil compreendê-lo. Portanto, o presente artigo busca elucidar a concepção de alteridade presente no pensamento levinasiano. Para isso, foi realizada, durante o segundo semestre de 2023, uma pesquisa bibliográfica de abordagem qualitativa, utilizando como material obras de Lévinas e entrevistas concedidas por ele. O texto foi dividido em três seções de desenvolvimento. A primeira seção explica o significado do termo alteridade e sua mudança ao longo da História da Filosofia. A segunda seção aborda as inspirações históricas e filosóficas de Lévinas. E a terceira pontua cinco argumentos-chave do autor para defender a ideia de alteridade: 1) a alteridade é, para Lévinas, a possibilidade de ser absolutamente outro. 2) ela se materializa na relação face-a-face; 3) ela evoca em nós a ideia de infinito; e justamente por evocar a ideia de infinito, 4) ela se opõe a todo tipo de totalidade; 5) por efeito, ela requer que sejamos eticamente responsáveis pelo outro.

The work is devoted to the analysis of the phenomenon of dignity, which is studied by modern socio-humanitarian sciences as an orientation of moral consciousness and expresses the idea of the value of each person as a unique individual, as well as a special moral attitude of the individual to himself and the expectation of an appropriate response to the respectful attitude towards him by the society in which his value is recognized. We have established that dignity is primarily a form of self-awareness and self-control, which is the basis of a person's demands on himself or herself, and is closely related to such personality traits as conscience, honor, and responsibility. The concept of dignity is considered in the modern socio-philosophical discourse in the context of the value orientations of representatives of Ukrainian society and determines their patriotic behavior, which is especially in demand in the threatening conditions of martial law, which can deform the personality. Therefore, it is extremely important for the philosophical understanding of human dignity that all human abilities and preferences are involved in its production, and that value becomes a phenomenon of internal choice. The Russian narratives of the "little brother" and "peasantry" were aimed at the dignity of the entire nation, which in the war earned the respect of the whole world. It is established that the main characteristics of Ukrainian society are expressed by three key words: courage, resilience and solidarity, and therefore the author focuses on the etymology of the word victory, since it is in this desire for victory that human dignity is reflected in the consciousness of every Ukrainian. The author substantiates the social mechanisms of influence on the observance of human rights in war, on the preservation of dignity and the protection of dignity in the circumstances of new risks of the Russian-Ukrainian war.

The article emphasizes the urgency of the task of advocating in the world not only the artistic aspect of the culture and heritage of Ukraine, but also the educational aspect - to highlight for the scientific community and the general public of the Western world the processes, events, personalities that changed the generally accepted status quo at one or another historical moment, changed established customs and norms made the world more humane. Such emphases strengthen the positioning of Ukraine as an outpost of Western civilization - and therefore are extremely important for the victory of Ukraine in the war waged against it by the Russian Federation. Awareness of the fact of the separateness and influence of the Ukrainian spirit and culture even at the time of the state's loss of independence exacerbates the sense of loss in the event of the Russian Federation's plans for complete genocide and ethnocide of Ukrainians. Guided by this understanding, the author of the article focused her attention on an overview of important facts that can be the basis for creating a strong personal brand of the first rector of Kyiv University, Mykhailo Maksymovych, who, in one of the most unfavorable times for the preservation and manifestation of the Ukrainian spirit, initiated the Ukrainian scientific discourse and laid the foundations for Kyiv University becoming a center of dignity, free-thinking, and Ukrainianism. The article is given an applied character by the author's consideration of possible using of different branding tools (quotes, new visual image bearers for increase of brand impact for example) in process of the personality of Mykhailo Maksymovych branding (like a "Mykhailo Maksymovych - Ukrainian point of view on history and justice" as variant) within the Kyiv University branding as a phenomenon of Ukrainianness, contrary to the plans of the tsar. A very important emphasis is on the interdisciplinary nature of events with the aim of strengthening and popularizing the Mykhailo Maksymovych brand in the perception of both internal and external audiences - the involvement of representatives of visual art, not only specialist historians and copywriters, as well as activism tools.

The article presents the results of a study of the problem of organizing education in schools in the occupied territories of Ukraine during the Second World War and during the current Russian occupation. Attention is focused on the common and distinctive features of the two occupation regimes in the context of the organization of educational activities, as well as on the characteristics of the content and forms, goals and means of education used by the occupation regimes in the occupied territories. The author analyzes the educational policy pursued by the German occupation administration, internal contradictions and contradictory approaches of the fascist leadership to the functioning of Ukrainian schooling. The author emphasizes the unanimity of the Russian occupation authorities in the field of educational policy in the occupied territories. It is claimed that, despite the considerable historical distance, the two occupation regimes have many similarities in their approaches to the organization of educational activities in the occupied territories of Ukraine. It is emphasized that the enemy realize the crucial role of education in shaping the consciousness of future generations. The occupiers give a prominent place in the process of educating citizens loyal to the new government or loyal to it to teachers and pedagogical workers of all levels of education. At best, the occupiers suspend teachers who are disloyal to the new government, and more often arrest and convict them. It is noted that, just like eighty years ago, the willingness of teachers to cooperate with the occupiers is not widespread, but it is not isolated. In addition, during the occupation, there is a rapid replacement of textbooks with ideologically "correct" ones. However, significant differences in the educational policies of the German and Russian occupiers are also emphasized: the Germans primarily opposed Soviet ideology, while the Russians openly oppose Ukrainian culture, language, and Ukrainians in general, which leads to genocide and linguocide. The historical context of the occupation is also important, because the events that took place in the first half of the twentieth century are practically repeated almost a hundred years later, when liberalism and democracy prevail in Europe.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the peculiarities of the formation and self-realization of a modern Ukrainian woman in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war. It is argued that self-realization is mainly a conscious, purposeful process of disclosure and objectification of the essential forces of the personality in its various practical activities. The formation of a socially active and harmoniously developed woman depends to a large extent on the personal efforts of the person focused on self-improvement and self-realization as an indispensable condition for achieving success in life. In the context of the current transformation of society, gender stereotypes and gender roles are further changing. More and more women are abandoning traditionally assigned gender roles and taking on new social spheres and corresponding social roles. The complexity of the situation for women lies in the need to combine different gender role models of behavior. It has been found that, despite gender stereotypes and prejudices, many women under martial law took an active part in combat operations, performing combat support tasks, providing medical care, and other important tasks of military service. Some women serve alongside men on the front lines, performing the same roles as riflemen, commanders, and artillerymen. Their courage and determination have set an example for others, while demonstrating that women can be just as effective as men. Many women serve as medics, saving the lives of the wounded, often under enemy fire. Their contribution to saving lives is hard to overestimate. Women scouts, communications operators, and other specialists help ensure successful operations on the battlefield by providing critical information and communication. It is recognized that the burden of war is especially difficult for women who are forced to provide for family life and raise children in difficult conditions when they often cannot rely on a reliable male shoulder. It has been established that women serving in the Ukrainian armed forces have proven to be extremely dedicated, courageous, and competent servicewomen. They try to create a favourable psychological and moral climate, minimising risks and levelling the unattractive features of war.
