Authors: Türkyılmaz Gül Selin , Üçok Dilek Işılay
Published: September 2024

The concept of “healing” is defined as a restorative/transformative recovery process that results in a positive change in the management practices of organizations, employees finding more meaning in the work they do, and the realization of themselves as a whole by organizational employees at all levels, has gained popularity in recent years. attracts the attention of researchers. In this study, qualitative field research is conducted to find out the healing organization practices of the companies. Structured interviews are conducted with 12 white color employees. Three questions that are asked to the participants aimed to be the research question of this study. Participants were asked what organizational practices contribute to their physical, financial, social, psychological, intellectual, and professional well-being and what contributions these practices have for the employee and the organization. As a result of the content analysis of the collected data, improving organizational practices were compiled under two themes. Organizational practices that contribute to personal development and occupational development. It has been found that organizational practices that support personal and professional development have positive contributions such as employees' organizational citizenship behaviors, organizational commitment, work/life satisfaction, and sense of meaningfulness about work. Since this study is the first qualitative research on "healing organizations" in the national literature, it is believed that the results of the research will guide both researchers working on the topic and managers who have a decisive role in worklife.

Except-Extremes Ranked Set Sampling for Estimating the Population Variance with Two Applications of Real Data Sets
Authors: Aldrabseh Mahmoud , Ismail Mohd Tahir , Al-Omari Amer Ibrahim
Published: September 2024

The ranked set sampling (RSS) procedure was initially established by McIntyre (1952) for estimating the mean of forage and pasture yield as more precise than simple random sampling (SRS). Recently, Aldrabseh and Ismail (2023) suggested the except extreme RSS (EERSS) approach as a modification to RSS for estimating the population mean. In this paper, a new estimator of the population variance is proposed using the EERSS method. The mean squared error and bias equations of the new estimator are derived. When the underlying distribution is non-symmetric, a simulation study is conducted to evaluate the suggested estimator relative to SRS and RSS, based on the same number of measured units, in terms of the relative precision and bias values for several sample sizes. For symmetric distributions, the exact values of the bias and relative precision of the EERSS variance estimator are evaluated. Two real datasets are utilized to illustrate the performance of the suggested variance estimator. It is found that the EERSS variance estimator is more efficient than the SRS estimator and more precise than RSS in most cases, especially for small set sizes.
Parental Burnout and the Personality of Mothers of Children with Central Auditory Processing Disorders (APD)
Authors: Kobosko Joanna
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Parental burnout is the condition related to emotional and/or physical exhaustion caused by excessive chronic stress experienced as a parent. Parental burnout is personality-conditioned, and, in the first place, it is related to higher neuroticism. Co-occurrence of other personality traits with parental burnout depends on the characteristics of the studied population of parents and cultural conditionings. Research Aim: Assessment of the intensity of parental burnout in mothers of children with central auditory processing disorder (APD) compared to mothers of children with disabilities as well as investigation of its relation to the Big Five personality traits and the sociodemographic factors. Methods: The study involved 75 mothers of children with APD. Questionnaires used included the Parental Burnout Measure (PBM-12), the Short IPIP-BFM-20 Questionnaire for measuring the Big Five personality, and the Data Collection Survey. Results: The results show that the level of parental burnout in mothers of children with APD is generally similar to that in mothers of children with various impairments. However, its intensity in the dimension of emotional exhaustion is significantly lower. Three personality traits may have a protective function: (higher) emotional stability, conscientiousness and extraversion, and agreeableness in relation to feelings of helplessness. Emotional stability was found to be a predicting factor for parental burnout, while (higher) agreeableness allows only predicting (lower) helplessness experienced by mothers of children with APD. Conclusions: Mothers of children with APD experiencing parental burnout should have access to different forms of psychological intervention that would allow them to increase their parental resources, especially those conditioned by emotional stability, as well as those related to conscientiousness, extraversion, and agreeableness.
Determinants of Development in Childhood from an Integral Education Perspective
Authors: Przyborowska Beata , Błajet Piotr Paweł
Published: September 2024

Introduction: The childhood period is characterised not only by robust quantitative and qualitative developmental dynamics, but also by significant vulnerability to disintegrating factors. Research Aim: The aim of this paper was to present an “intellectual tool” for an integral understanding of development (the cognitive aspect) and its stimulation (the practical aspect) during childhood, while identifying opportunities and risks associated with this stage of life. Evidence-based Facts: The text presents an intellectual tool – Ken Wilber’s 4 quadrants model. It can be used to recognise the area of disintegration in the upbringing process (the cognitive aspect), but also to design integrative activities (the practical aspect). The authors discuss the problems of coherence between interior-oriented and exterior-oriented, as well as between individual-oriented and community-oriented approaches to an individual. Furthermore, they present the problematic of integrating civilisation and nature, culturalism and naturalism, direct and mediated experience, and inner and outer consciousness. Summary: The presented article analyses issues related to one of the strategies included in the integral approach: the strategy of coherence. More broadly, it should be supported by a strategy of accessibility based on knowledge of theories of human development. These theories distinguish stages of development characterised by different increasingly complex competencies in terms of grasping reality.

Manufacturing of bent composite tubes with variable cross-section is a challenge. The traditional process in composite materials uses retractable mandrels that in case of inflated or bent tubes cannot be applied. The tubular composite elements are often used in high performance bicycles, in the manufacturing of frames, handlebars, saddle pipe supports, etc. This paper presents research on the design of a Mountain Bike (MTB) riser handlebar made of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP). The handlebar is numerically analyzed to estimate the most suitable stacking sequence of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) layers. Depending on the safety standard of bicycle handlebars, a case of longitudinal bending tests was numerically evaluated. Comparing the weight of the CFRP handlebar with the steel handlebar of the same shape, the mass reduction is 5.2 times. The obtained results indicate a two-fold reduction in the weight of the handlebar if it is compared to a handlebar made of aluminum alloys. The research also presents the manufacturing process of the composite mold, and CFRP tubular element. Prepreg CFRP materials are used to manufacture the handlebar, the employed technology being the vacuum bag forming and autoclave curing process.

The performance of the final part of the turning process, a topic of practical importance, heavily depends on the cutting parameters. Surface quality, a crucial product attribute in manufacturing, often tops consumer demands during machining due to its significant influence on product functionality. This paper assesses the correlation between the detected vibration signal, statistical parameters (Crest, Kurtosis and I-kaz3D coefficient) and surface roughness and provides valuable insights for practical applications. When the tool experiences vibrations during material removal, these oscillations leave a ripple effect on the surface of the workpiece. We aim to determine the impact of cutting parameters on surface roughness while turning 42CrMo4 steel using a carbide tool insert. Cutting parameters, such as spindle speed, feed, and depth of cut, were used. Signal processing is carried out using different techniques to identify the effect of the cutting parameters on vibration signals. Finally, we delve into the interaction effects between the cutting parameters, vibration signals and surface roughness, offering a comprehensive understanding of real-world manufacturing scenarios. Higher I-kaz3D coefficients correspond to higher surface roughness values. The I-kaz3D coefficient decreases as the surface roughness measurements decrease, indicating that the I-kaz3D technique can accurately indicate an increase or decrease in surface roughness. On the other hand, the cutting force Fc was the component most strongly correlated with surface roughness (Ra), yielding the best results across all indices (adjusted R²adj = 95.1%, er=.8 ± 2.3%).
OPTIMIZATION HYBRID PATH PLANNING BASED ON A-STAR ALGORITHM COMBINING WITH DWA
Authors:   School of Mechanical Engineering, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, DANG THAI-VIET
Published: September 2024

While dealing with dynamic scenarios, mobile robot (MR) path planning (PP) has proven to be extremely challenging. To overcome difficulties with grid-map representation, the paper proposes a hybrid path planning strategy. In a typical setting, an A-star algorithm first generates a global path planning (GPP). To ensure safe obstructive avoidance, the modified heuristic function is enhanced with a risk cost coefficient adjusted according to the distance to the nearest obstacle. Then, GPP is improved by eliminating redundant nodes, and smoothing algorithms. Furthermore, local path planning (LPP) has enhanced the ability to avoid obstacles in local areas by using adaptive dynamic window approach (DWA). The obtained path is hardly continuous after eliminating unnecessary path nodes and the required re-calculation LPP based on DWA. Consequently, straight, and curved segments are joined into the continuous polyline smoothed by the Bezier curves. The proposed hybrid PP has been shown to be feasible and to produce optimal outcomes in both simulations and experiments.
Rejoinder to Book Review of "Rural Transformations and Rural Crime"
Authors: Bowden Matt , Harkness Alistair
Published: September 2024

A review of a book we edited, Rural Transformations and Rural Crime (Bowden & Harkness, 2022) was published in Volume 32, Issue 3 of Rural Society (Scott, 2023) in December 2023. The review makes two key but highly misleading charges. The first is an intimation that rural criminology is dominated by a clique of scholars; and second that the book by and large lacks critical analysis to the reviewer’s liking. The reviewer provides a glimpse of a broad analysis of the field and adopts an independently minded position. Indeed, some observations and claims are made that should rightly be part of a wider debate in criminology, about the book’s relevance, and its impact and contribution to the social sciences: legitimate and important questions that ought to be addressed. However, a few errors in the review need to be corrected and cannot go unchallenged.

Authors: Lee Eun Jung , Kwak Jee Young , Kim Hye Jin
Published: September 2024

Background: As a health vulnerable group, people with disabilities require more health-promoting behavior than non-disabled people. We aimed to identify the types of health behavior of disabled people and to track the trajectories of stress by the type of health behaviors.
Methods: Data came from the Panel Survey of Employment for the Disabled Second Wave by the Employment Development Institute (EDI) in Korea. We used dataset from the first 6 years of the 2nd wave of PSEDSW (2016-2021). The current study analyzed 3,991 subjects. The types of health behavior were identified through latent class analysis (LCA) and the trajectories of stress were estimated through multi-group latent growth modeling using Mplus 8.0.
Results: Two types of groups in health behaviors, smoking-drinking group (SD), nonsmoking-less drinking group (NLSD) were derived. Depending on the types of health behavior, the trajectories of stress appeared significantly different: the NLSD had significantly lower stress than the SD in the first year, and this low-level stress trajectory was maintained continuously for 6 years.
Conclusion: Health behaviors could be suitable as a stress coping method for people with disabilities. This study suggests that it is necessary to make efforts to create an environment that supports people with disabilities to learn healthier ways to cope with stress.
Effects of Migration on Nutritional Habits: From Turkey to Germany
Authors: Ulker Izzet , Aydogdu Nihal Gordes
Published: September 2024

Background: Dietary habits are influenced by environmental factors. Among these environmental factors are the place of residence, cultural characteristics, food accessibility, and economic status, which can all contribute to changes in the dietary pattern. Migration is another factor that can influence changes in the aspects mentioned above. We aimed to assess the dietary habits of individuals who have migrated from Turkey to Germany in comparison to those living in Turkey.
Methods: In this descriptive and cross-sectional study, 254 individuals were enrolled with 102 individuals in Germany and 152 individuals in Turkey between April 2022 and July 2023. The data collection tools included Socio-demographic Characteristics Forms, Dietary Habits and Health Status Forms, and Food Consumption Frequency Forms. The data was collected online via Google Forms.
Results: There were statistically significant differences in the consumption frequency of processed meats, meat and poultry, sweetened beverages, sugar, desserts and pastries, vegetables, fruits, eggs and grains, olive oil, sunflower oil, hazelnut oil, grains, dairy products, coffee, starch, and carbonated beverages between the two groups (P<0.05). Statistically significant differences were not found in terms of butter and tea consumption frequency.
Conclusion: Overall, the study results have revealed significant differences in dietary habits between Turks living in Germany and those living in Turkey. The most noteworthy dimension of these differences is that individuals living in Turkey exhibit a stronger adherence to the Mediterranean dietary pattern, while those living in Germany tend to follow a Western dietary pattern.
Tuberculosis in Human Bones from 4000 Years Ago, Iran
Authors: Farhud Dariush D. , Azari Mahsa , Rahbar Mehdi
Published: September 2024

Background: Tuberculosis is caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which is a contagious and infectious disease; in the first stage, it destroys the lungs and in the next stage other body organs, such as the spine and long bones. This disease is transmitted through an infected person and due to the weakness of the immune system, the infection intensifies. Tuberculosis has two stages: low activity and high activity. In this article, we have discussed the signs of tuberculosis destruction with high intensity on the bones of prehistory human remains.
Methods: The examples of our research are related to human remains from the ancient cemetery of 4000 years ago from Sagezabad region of Qazvin Province of Iran. That period of history coincides with the Iron Age 2 and 3 in the region. People inside the Sagezabad cemetery were very near to early urban (the late rural) society.
Results: By matching the form of bone destruction with international atlases for tuberculosis, we have reached a satisfactory result in this article. Due to the strong penetration of the infection into the bones, destruction in the remains was high, so it has simplified the diagnosis for us.
Conclusion: We found tuberculosis among the bones. This common ancient disease existed even among Neanderthals.

Authors: Fararouei Mohammad , Mobasheri Farzaneh , Jaberi Abbas Rahimi , Hasanzadeh Jafar
Published: September 2024

Background: Several health, environmental, and lifestyle-related factors have been separately linked to multiple sclerosis (MS) by different studies. However, these studies did not adequately account for the temporal association of these factors with MS while considering the influence of other variables in the analysis. A comprehensive investigation of these factors remains scarce.
Methods: A hospital-based case-control study was carried out between Jun 2020 to Mar 2021 on 525 cases and 1050 controls frequently matched by age and sex. Cases and controls were selected at the same time and from the same centers (Motahari and Imam Reza referral centers) in Shiraz (the capital of Fars Province). Health, socio-demographic, and lifestyle status during adolescence were studied in this case-control study.
Results: The likelihood of having a history of autoimmune disease(s) (ORyes/no=15.67, P<0.001) and family history of MS (ORyes/no=11.57, P<0.001) were higher in cases. In addition, the likelihoods of reporting a history of head/neck traumas (ORhaving a history/no history=9.16, P<0.001), smoking (ORregular/other =2.24, P=0.008), and stressful events (ORyes/no=1.47, P=0.007) were higher among the case group. On the other hand, the odds of sun exposure (ORmost the time/seldom =0.14, P<0.001), physical activity (ORactive/inactive=0.45, P<0.001), and good quality sleep (OR=0.93, P<0.001) were significantly lower in the case group.
Conclusion: This study provided a broad picture of the factors associated with MS, most of which were modifiable. Positive alterations to these factors through social and health educational programs are likely to reduce the burden of MS in Iran.

This thesis investigates the effect of roadside dust on the growth and development of tomato plants, specifically focusing on plant height, leaf number, terminal leaf area, lateral leaf area, root fresh weight, root dry weight, shoot fresh weight, shoot dry weight, and cellular characteristics. The study examines seven treatment groups representing varying concentrations of roadside dust applied to the plants. The results reveal significant variations in the measured parameters, indicating that the treatments had a significant effect on most of the parameters, except for root dry weight. The plant height, terminal leaf area, leaf number, and lateral leaf area showed a decreasing trend with increasing dust concentration, suggesting hindrance in vertical growth and leaf development. Root fresh weight, shoot fresh weight, and shoot dry weight also exhibited a decreasing trend as the concentration of dust increased, indicating a negative impact on root and shoot biomass. The cellular characteristics, such as guard cell, subsidiary cell, and epidermal cell measurements, demonstrated a decrease in values as dust concentrations increased, indicating adverse effects on cellular growth and development. Overall, the findings indicate that roadside dust has a detrimental effect on the growth and development of tomato plants, including biomass accumulation, leaf expansion, and cellular characteristics. Mitigation strategies, such as regular leaf cleaning, proper irrigation, and air pollution control, are recommended to minimize the negative impacts of roadside dust on plant growth and ensure optimal crop production and environmental sustainability.

В роботі розглянуто вплив температури на датчик оптичних випромінювань на основі генератора на одноперехідному (ОПТ) і польовому (ПТ) транзисторах, вихідним сигналом якого є частота, пропорційна інтенсивності випромінювання. Під впливом температури параметри транзисторів змінюються, що зумовлює температурну нестабільність частоти. Для термостабілізації вихідного сигналу паралельно першому ПТ1 підключено другий ПТ2 з протилежним знаком залежності струму від температури та регульованою термочутливістю. В результаті, температурні дії всіх трьох транзисторів на частоту генерації взаємно компенсуються і вихідна частота термостабілізується.
Effectiveness of citizen inquiry approach in promoting environmental knowledge of young people
Authors: Obakhavbaye Micheal
Published: September 2024

The unsustainable and unsafe disposal of single-use plastics poses a major environmental risk to society. Although there have been global calls to transition from a linear economy to a circular economy for plastics, the participation of young people across communities is critical to the achievement of this goal. To advocate for the circular economy in their community, young people must be empowered with adequate knowledge about single-use plastics and the circular plastic economy. Therefore, this study investigates the effectiveness of the citizen inquiry approach in enhancing young people’s knowledge of issues concerning single-use plastics within the context of the circular economy. It situates the conceptual underpinnings of citizen inquiry within the framework of collaborative citizen science, fused with inquiry-based learning, and makes a concerted effort for participants to be coresearchers in the design, implementation, and knowledge creation in six-week quasi-experimental research. The study utilizes a quantitative data collection strategy, providing a pretest before the study and a posttest after the study using the same instrument to assess the change in participants’ procedural and declarative knowledge. The data is analyzed using descriptive and t-test statistics to evaluate the difference in means between test scores before and after the intervention. The t-test results reveal a statistically significant difference in the procedural knowledge (t(4) = 4.355, p = 0.006), the declarative knowledge (t(18) = 10.762, p < 0.001), and the overall knowledge (t(23) = 11.688, p < 0.001) of the participants as measured by the pre-posttest. The results demonstrated a considerable improvement in the participants’ procedural, declarative, and overall knowledge. The findings indicate that the citizen inquiry technique can democratize learning and the research process, but it requires the design to be contextualized.
Perioperative Systemic Corticosteroids in Modern Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty
Authors: Palmer Ryan C. , Jones Ian A. , Sculco Peter K. , Hannon Charles P. , Fillingham Yale A. , Heckmann Nathanael D.
Published: September 2024

» Perioperative corticosteroids are strongly recommended for reducing the incidence and severity of postoperative nausea and vomiting following elective total hip or total knee arthroplasty.

» Corticosteroids may reduce postoperative pain and opioid requirements. Similarly, corticosteroids appear to have a neutral-to-positive effect on length of stay, venous thromboembolism, mobility, delirium, acute kidney injury, and bone cement implantation syndrome (i.e., decreased length of stay).

» Perioperative corticosteroids may induce hyperglycemia among both diabetic and nondiabetic patients; however, there is no strong evidence indicating that these transient corticosteroid-induced glycemic derangements may increase the risk of postoperative infectious complications.

» The dosage and frequency of perioperative corticosteroid administration play a critical role in optimizing postoperative outcomes, with higher doses showing promise in reducing opioid consumption, postoperative pain, and length of stay.

» The optimal dosage and frequency of corticosteroids remain unclear; however, the perioperative administration of 8 to 16 mg dexamethasone, or equivalent steroid, appears reasonable and safe in most cases.

The paper discusses for the first time the “philosophy of life” of the famous literary critic and philosopher of the first quarter of the twentieth century Yuly Isaevich Aykhenvald (1872–1928) in connection with his interpretation of Russian history and literature. The article examines the publications of Yu.I. Aykhenvald in the newspaper “Rul’” in the first half of the 1920s, stimulated by his participation in various philosophical discussions that took place at that time in Berlin (F.A. Stepun’s lecture “Tragedy and Modernity”, S.S. Olden­burg’s report “Russian Literature and Revolution”). Special attention is paid to the report of Yu.I. Aykhenvald “On the question of the meaning of history”, read in the Russian Scien­tific and Philosophical Society on April 14 (1), 1923. It is shown that for a critic-philosopher, any revolution is always opposed by the “progressive force of history”, the temple of human existence built on the basis of everyday life for centuries. It is demonstrated that for Yu.I. Aykhenvald, daily life is full of great meaning and a special “metaphysical height”. At the same time, Aykhenvald’s attitude to everyday life is the basis of his literary preferences, due to this, the “natural symbolism” of Alexander Pushkin, Apollon Grigoryev, Leo Tolstoy, Ivan Bunin, Boris Zaitsev unexpectedly, but quite logically, turn out to be consonant with ideas of Vladimir Solovyov in his service to the beauty of world life, “overcoming flesh, spiri­tualizing matter, idealizing objectivity”. It is proved that the interpretation of everyday life is associated in the worldview of Yu.I. Aykhenvald with views both religious (the idea of “natu­ral Christianity” as the “imperishable myth of nature” underlying the entire natural world, the “real miracle” of dying and resurrection, which finds “refraction in the religious feeling of people”) and historiosophical (Russia’s destiny and its attitude towards Europe).
The philosophy of cosmism: suprarealism, or the project of deontological synthesis (N.F. Fedorov)
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Onosov Aleksandr
Published: September 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the philosophy of the common cause of N.F. Fedorov (1829–1903). The ideas related to the active-historical function of humanity in the world ontology are the subject of analytical attention. The method of meaningful analysis re­veals the main intentions of cosmosophy, aimed at the implementation of the project for the comprehensive regulation of nature and for the ontological transformation of the world. A semantic disclosure of a number of systemic categories of the philosophy of cosmism is proposed and the fundamental concept of unrelatedness is explicated. It is noted that projectivism that draws a sharp line between cosmosophy and contemplative cosmic views is a carrier methodological principle of the cosmosophical paradigm. Fe­dorov’s teaching is characterized as an axiological system of supramoralism, aimed at changing the spontaneous natural order, transforming the empirical being. Based on this, it is concluded that Fedorov’s teaching can be defined as a cultural-evolutionary deonto­logy, postulating the need for a conscious stage of the global evolutionary process. It is noted that the axiomatics of the philosophy of cosmism is based on the traditions of the Orthodox creed. At the same time, it is the projective attitude to the world that makes it possible to realize the historical potential of Christianity as a “living religion” that synthesizes science, art and creed. Supramoralism proposes a project of creative eschato­logy, opposed to the passive expectation of a history catastrophic break. Cosmosophy af­firms the imperative of a real apocatastasis, requiring the physical resurrection of all gen­erations of dead people. It is concluded that the target historiosophical vector of cosmism determines the transition of an adult society into a god-like state.
The concept of contingency and its significance in the philosophy of Emile Boutroux

The article examines the concept of contingency of nature and scientific laws, put for­ward and set forth in a number of works by the French spiritualist philosopher Emile Boutroux (1845–1921). The principle of contingency became for him an important tool in solving complex interrelated problems: 1) to substantiate spiritualism, including its key idea of ​​freedom, based on the scientific knowledge of the era in which issues of phi­losophical epistemology were becoming increasingly important; 2) thereby contribute to the revival of metaphysics, which was threatened with marginalization due to the pro­motion of the ideas of positivism and scientism. Considering the hierarchy of genera, or levels of being, as well as the laws corresponding to them, Boutroux sought to prove that the world is not dominated by rigid necessity, but by contingency. Accordingly, in scientific laws there is a certain amount of convention, which increases as one moves from the lower stages of being, those closest to matter, where determinism manifests it­self most strongly, to the highest levels, where the main role is played by the spiritual principle with its inherent freedom. It is this freedom, which cannot be comprehended in experience, that is expressed in contingency, which is a characteristic feature of being. Thus, the principle of contingency appears in Boutroux’s concept as the main principle of knowledge and explanation in philosophy, which allows metaphysics to return its meaning, denied by positivism, and to substantiate human freedom.
The problem of motion in the philosophy of Mahmoud Shabistari
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences, Lukashev Andrey
Published: September 2024

The article is dedicated to the interpretation of the problem of motion by Mahmud Shabistari – one of the prominent medieval Persian Sufi thinkers. The main source for the study was his philosophical treatise “Haqq al-Yaqin fi Ma’rifat Rabb al-’Alamin”. The article includes the first translation into a European language (Russian) of a chapter from this treatise – “On the Manifestation of Movement and the Renewal of Manifesta­tions”. Ancient authors also dealt with the problem of motion comprehension. The inves­tigation of the way Shabistari solves this problem is particularly interesting because, striving for the affirmation of strict monotheism, he proposed a monistic model of the uni­verse where only the One First Principle exists. He considered the existence of everything else as an illusion. However, such a statement makes any change impossible, and conse­quently movement as well. Meanwhile, Shabistari, on the contrary, states the constant circular motion of the First Principle with itself as the center. It generates its numerous virtual images in non-being, that move constantly around the One. These images include everything – from the Universal Reason to the individual human being. Shabistari con­structs a system of virtual images motion based on a fractal principle: the circle around the point of the One represents the motion trajectory of the first creature – the Universal Reason. Each point of this circle is the Universal Reason’s manifestation at each individ­ual moment in the form of one of the forty existence levels. In its turn, each level of exis­tence becomes also a center of the circular motion of its virtual copies – individual things.
Denis de Rougemont as an Expressor of the Ideal Search of French Personalism in the 1930s
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Baboshin Daniil
Published: September 2024

The article seeks to refute the popular idea in Russian-language scientific literature of French personalism as a homogeneous and monolithic movement, briefly pointing out the existence of three of its internal movements: Esprit, Ordre Nouveau and Jeune Droite. Focusing on the figure of D. de Rougemont, this study nevertheless shows the close connection between these three groups and the commonality of ideological quests. Dwelling in detail on the confessional context of the differences between Esprit and Ordre Nouveau, the author demonstrates that both groups are still united in the perception of the concept of “personality” as a spiritual imperative for a person in the 1930s (albeit not agreeing on some details of its definition) and criticism of contemporary political regimes.
Principle the Minimum Commensurability of H. Spinner

Published: September 2024

The article attempts to reconstruct the solution of the fundamental for the Anglo-American historical school (T. Kuhn, I. Lakatos, P. Feyerabend) problem of incommensurability, proposed by Helmut Spinner, a prominent representative of German critical rationalism (hereinafter referred to as CR). It is shown that this solution became possible on the way of rethinking the shortcomings of the orthodox CR of K. Popper and H. Albert, the main one of which Spinner saw in “scarcity” pluralism and criticism. To overcome it, he considered it necessary to develop the KR in the direction of “pluralistically extended fallibilist criticism” of the Feyerabend persuasion with some innovations. Spinner’s new version of the CR, was based on the following three fundamental principles: 1) the principle of radicalization of pluralism (hyperpluralism); 2) the principle of the infallibility of fallibilism (hyperfallibilism) (Fallubilität des Fallibilismus); 3) the principle (requirement) of the minimum commensurability of theories. The essence and content of the third principle is as follows. Minimal commensurability means that competing theories are commensurate, at least in one essential point: commensurability of this kind is mediated by “transition theories”. Incommensurable theories are by no means useless, for thanks to “transition theories” they can become commensurate, at least in a minimal sense. And this minimum commensurability is the most essential and desirable for theoretical pluralism, since only it provides the maximum criticism of alternative theories, thereby expanding the possibilities of confrontation and strengthening pluralistic criticism in general.
